Have you had a chance to watch/listen to any of the Blacroc stuff that's been coming out?

http://www.blakroc.com/videos.html

It's basically The Black Keys doing production for rappers like Mos Def, Q-Tip, Raekwon, Pharaoh Monch and others. I'm really looking forward to it, and the studio videos they have up there are pretty interesting.

This is a dope song. I'm mad though, tried to get it off itunes a month or so ago, and got two versions - neither was this version. This is the only reason I know DJ Honda.

Lord I've really been real stressed

Down and out, losin ground

Although I am black and proud

Problems got me pessimistic

Brothers and sisters keep messin up

Why does it have to be so damn tuff?

I don't know where I can go

To let these ghosts out of my skull

My grandmas past, my brothers gone

I never at once felt so alone

I know you're supposed to be my steering wheel

Not just my spare tire (home)

But lord I ask you (home)

To be my guiding force and truth (home)

For some strange reason it had to be (home)

He guided me to Tennessee (home)

Lord it's obvious we got a relationship

Talkin to each other every night and day

Although you're superior over me

We talk to each other in a friendship way

Then outta nowhere you tell me to break

Outta the country and into more country

Past Dyesburg into Ripley

Where the ghost of childhood haunts me

Wlak the roads my forefathers walked

Climbed the trees my forefathers hung from

Ask those trees for all their wisdom

They tell me my ears are so young (home)

Go back to from whence you came (home)

My family tree my family name (home)

For some strange reason it ahd to be (home)

He guided me to Tennessee (home)

Now I see the importance of history

Why people be in the mess that they be

Many journeys to freedom made in vain

By brothers on the corner playin ghetto games

I ask you lord why you enlightened me

Without the enlightment of all my folks

He said cuz I set myself on a quest for truth

And he was there to quench my thirst

But I am still thirsty...

The lord allowed me to drink some more

He said what I am searchin for are

The answers to all which are in front of me

The ultimate truth started to get blurry

For some strange reason it had to be

It was all a dream about Tennessee

Take me to another place

Take me to another land

Make me forget all that hurts me

Let me understand your plan

Mos Def is like the Ladainian Tomlinson of rap. Use to be great, then he fell off hard, like off a cliff. The man is still a Hall of Fame emcee, but his recent work has left a lot to be desired. Because ever since he tried to start an acting career, Mos Def has put out a lot of mediocre to godawful stuff.

Man, I have been thinking about this video for years! Thanks for posting it. By the way, does anybody know whatever happened to DJ Honda? I don't hear about him much anymore.
