"Empty" - 3582

How can I say this without sounding like a gay license plate frame?

“Always late, but worth the wait.”

You know what? Everytime I see that shit on a car it just pisses me the fuck off. For real, you know what I do? I tailgate them and make them go like 10-15 mph faster than they were normally traveling. Be careful what you ask for, bitches. My parents told me that I was an accident and that they were going to get an abortion. Well...my mom’s period came 9 months late. And when I have enough money to buy her a car, I’m also going to get her a license plate frame. It’s going to say, “Fuck the police.” Uh, wha whaaa whaaat?

Well, it took me a while to get to this group and really start to pay attention to them. Roy Van Winkle must have been sleeping because he just recently gave me this album. I was about to text him, “Roy, you’re the homie for hooking me up with this new 3582 shit! It’s smart, soulful, artful hip hop.” For real, today’s song reminds me of how forgiving and somber hip hop can be. Not in that woe is me sense either. It takes me back to a time when you can be vulnerable and still be a man. That’

I was also like, “Who is J. Rawls?” I know “The Essence” album but he never really got much acclaim. I Wikipedia’d this shit and turns out this album is 6 years old! 3582 is a collaboration of J Rawls and Fat Jon. (next time you see me, ask me what the biggest lesson is that rock can learn from hip hop and how hip hop is eons more evolved and refined than rock). Basically, J Rawls and J Sands are a team and they make Caucasian-friendly hip hop without alienating Black folks.

That’s what I love about being Asian. I can listen to Caucasian hip hop, like Sage Francis or Atmosphere or Murs or Pigeon John (though LA Symphony is Mexican Hip Hop) and I’d be seen as artful and abstract. And at the same time, I can listen to Boot Camp Click, Big L or The Beatnuts and be seen as street or urban. You know what I hate about that term, “urban?” It’s a polite way to say “inner city Blacks.” Just say it, fucking marketers.

Mother. Fucking. Marketers.

Oh yeah, and if you’re like, “Well, Roe, you’re neither White nor Black; and all you got on hip hop is that Gin guy or Key Kool or the Mountain Brothers” all I’ll have to do is point towards the booth and be like, “Who the fuck do you think is spinning this shit?”

TOFU ON THE ONES AND TWOS! Chicky chicky.
