Twenty Miles

It is done. It took me three and a half hours, seventy ounces of water & some kind of masochistic bent, but I ran twenty miles. You know what I'm gonna do for the rest of the day?

Whatever I want.

I'm only six-point-two miles away from Cowtown, then shortly thereafter, Dublin. I can't freakin wait to go to Europe. I've been purposely not thinking about it. It's like waiting for morning to come on Christmas when you're a little kid. It's maddening.

Let's talk about music for a minute. Underground hip-hop is experiencing a resurgence, in my opinion, of dope, conscious lyricism & razor-sharp production ON THE SAME ALBUMS. I'm serious. It's like putting Reflection Eternal in my stereo for the first time, all over again.

The up-and-comers that I'm keeping an ear on are Illogic, Roots Manuva, Jemini, Braille, Danger Mouse, Forensic Science, Zion I & The Living Legends. Check 'em out... there's some really original, progressive music happening right now that YOU should be a part of.

That's all I got right now. Back to my cup of coffee, to Berkeley for the night & my tired legs get no solace..

Goodnight.
