Firing The Points

I'm devastating I'm so good it's a shame
Cause I eat rappers like a cannibal they call me insane...

CO SPORTS: The NL West just got alot more interesting with Manny Ramirez's suspension, but also with the D-Backs firing their manager after a less-than-stellar start. Hmm, a manager who is stuck at the bottom of the division, who just two years ago had his team deep in the playoffs, is blessed with young talent, but has stumbled since then is fired? Accountability: alive and well in the desert, but missing at a mile high.

HIP HOP: Coming in just after 4-20, the Super Chron Flight Brothers' second album Indonesia veers a bit off from where their stellar 07 joint Emergency Powers left us. Indonesia features Billy Woods and Privledge rapping over mellower, drawn out beats, many in the Cool Kids or El-P mode or sound. Most of the the CD was crafted by Backwoodz Studio affiliate Marmaduke. Lyrically, the MCs hit on everything from Cannondale bikes, top ramen, Gregg Popovich's face (they're rougher than it), and a slew of sex rhymes ("she polished the wood, now she got termites.") One curious track is "SubPop" whichs incorporates the old Smiths' track "How Soon is Now." The folks over at Backwoodz are offering the entire disc for FREE...check it.

BEER: The Mothership has been pimping their latest innovation during the NBA Playoffs: the cold activated Coors Light can. When the moutnains turn blue, your smoooooooooth CL is ready to be consumed. Coors marketing suits must think that the masses have the inability to feel aluminum and judge whether it is cold or not. What the hell does The Commish care though? They could put a hologram of a dancing Richard Simmons screaming "brrrrrrr" on the can and I'm still gonna drink that ish.
