DJ ROB A:"The New Mortal Sin" brings you the seriousness with a taste of humor that hip hop heads should enjoy. The beats are done with his classic sample style, heavily melodic with soulful undertones. Rob A has been crafting beats for 15 + years (Mf Grimm Time and Space) and always only on the EMU SP 1200. You get just the gritty sounds of the SP banging your dome. For the newbie’s this will get you off the synth beats. All lyrics and cuts also are by Rob A unless a guest makes an appearance. Recorded in the guest bed room of DJ ROB A 's house and mixed and mastered at other sites. For the lead single "She Still got Dimples" Rob A teams up MF DOOM on a MF DOOM produced track. This is going to spark some attention, talking about the seriousness of domestic violence. Be sure to check the rhymes by Rob A on "Hush it"; some of the lines in this song will be stuck in your head. "Stacks in the Lab" is sure to get some attention due to its classic soul beat and horns. "The Genesis was Strummer" is an autobiographical track that started with Rob’s hero as a child Joe Strummer. "Gunclaps on Wax" is for the underground heads, as MF Grimm joins Rob A on an avant-garde beat. DJ Faust (Urban Assault, Faust and Shortee) joins Rob A on "Where ya at VA?" a tribute to his home state. This song was completed in 2001 and previously unreleased. Take a journey into the serious message of "City of God" through the perspective of a youth growing up in inner city New York. Rob A very often prefers narrative songs, and they tend to be his favorites. The track "Explicit Lyrics" is meant to be ironic but will some get it? Check out the HUGE SOUNDS of "SWARM" and see why Master P picked "Whatz up Cuz" as one of his 5 favorite tracks on mp3.com back in the day. "Razors and Ice Cream" is a loosely autobiographical track and another classic narrative with a movie score sound scape. People, this is the real hip-hop not to be confused with what is drowning us out. So as Rob A says "Pay the iTunes fee cause our dues are neva free." Word!



Check out Master P giving ROB A props. One of his 5 favs, "Whatz Up Cuz" .

An Open Letter to Dan Snyder 8 Ways to Succeed

Dear Dan,
As a Redskins fan since the 70's growing up in the Gibbs Era I want to give you some advice on building a team. Take it or Leave it but if you did follow a rough sketch close to this you would find success for our team.
1. Fire Vinny NOW he is a bad scout and proven that for way too long. I hope you see this by know. I know the Scientology connection is important or whatever but let him go.
2. Find at least 20 Players you want to keep and pay them first. I suggest most of them being OL and DL players first then build around that with skill players.
3. Consider the players integrity first, do they act entitled and overly confident? Most of the people that act that way never live up to their smack so cut them first. You can find "players with less potential" but more heart elsewhere and you will win more that way. Ask Joe to help you with this.
4. Dedicate the players on your roster to be kept by all means necessary over ten years. Think people like COOLEY, MCINTOSH, LANDRY etc. Continuity has killed the NFL and no other Franchise more than the skins.
5. Fire Zorn at the end of the Season not now that shows your anxious and have no control over your emotions. Make rational decisions and not emotional ones.
6. Hire Russ Grimm in some fashion, bring back former legends/players to help you make decisions , and a GM that has some connection to the foundation that was here.
7. Let the GM help you hire a HC
8. Treat your fans better knock down bad seating at Fed X and lower some of the cost on food, or tickets or whatever you can. Without fans you are not a team.
Dan we are wanting to see you man up and change your appearance of having a narcissistic personality disorder. We need you to as the Redskins mean a lot to a gang of people and we will be watching.
Step up
Dj Rob A
