Only4DaHipHop

"so....you're not performing tonite Lisa?"......from everyone who wanted to see the lovely Ms. Lisa Banton perform

ok ok Ok!....im back from the depths recording and up about to start a route... i'd like to give a shout to the Steelers who are strong believers in winning....and i picked the cards...(booooo)

So this past saturday @ the "Only For the hip hop" show went down really well. Back for 2nd time, K-Notty started the festivities and showed her skills was more than just spitting ....this cutie pie of the asian persuasion is showing promise for the future of hip hop....a very good look (Waddup Notty?)

I saw Spade of Citizen Kane doing the multi task thing.... Hosting, Mcing, and sipping on soup. Some of yall may laugh at that but when you're a legend with a very good album dropping this year, you can do these things.....and still rock a crowd. ....vet status!

...and when it came to the floss, Gems was the boss.....real clean, and to the point....

Eso Teriq gave us some Treats..dope lyrics and beats.. a shout out to Sci fi and Symetry....i hopefully i spelled yall names right


Priceless and Troy Black came with the heat.....these guys are looking toward the next level... the singing and rapping combo was very good to see....

JSN and the OG Gee-Wonder went hard that night.... a shout to Jsn on that ol skool "boosting" verse ...that one took me back to the good Ol Brooklyn days...are there any "lo lifes" here in Toronto?


Stitch 7 made it heaven as well.....Peace love and having fun unity wont come from a barrell of a gun.....whoa!

Shout out to Major who held down my set. We rocked like rockstars man...standing on top of speakers and all! (hiccup!)

DJ Jase Cozmic showed some skills on the wheeels ...and lets not forget Becks on the Decks... even Kap gave us some Dap....Family was in true form Saturday night.

The Open mic nite was very interesting that night. i thought the best was the kid Scott Jackson who came thru on the Beat Box tip...pretty amazing if you ask me .....

and lets not 4get....."Projects"........by Proverbs...took some people back to the ol days in the PJ's .....

Think


"1 for the money and 2 for the show / green aint gotta be the color yall lets all make dough"- TRAC

Peace to the Gods n Earths, the Sun, Moon n Stars. the life we live cant be be totally imitated. Unless you're trying to imitate.
And leave Pac alone yal!!l...(joke..but true).

So yeah im always blogging on some teach the world stuff. Some of yall mite be reading this joint going " yo who dis N*@@a think he is? Im just a regular dude who could've done bad but chose to do good. Plain n simple. In the hood some say thats a rarity but the truth is we all tryna stay straight as a mofo in our given time. Shit is hard, and in this "Recession era" it will be all about survival of the fit. thats why im doing my calestenics and keeping myself up to par lately (Good TRAC!). Usually in tough times good dudes become stick up kids.What?? Im just saying! Any of my homie who read these blogs i want yall to refrain from that temptation of losing yourself. we all dont wanna see 86 in that manner. Especially New york!

Speaking of my hometown, im gonna use that miracle of a landing in the Hudson River as an analogy. I'm Glad to see that everyone is safe and ok and God Bless!!. but how that whole situtaion was handled i have to say it gave me a great feeling about taking on some huge challenges in my near future. Seriously yall can you name how many pilots who can pull off that miracle of a landing in a busy water way? you know when things get tough, we all need to get our "Sullenberger" on. (im first rappers....dont you use my line!)

um ..............Sullenberger was the name of the skilled pilot ......for those that dont get it...duh!


I also went to the movies with a very cool person (who trac, who?) and caught that Keanu flick"The Day The Earth Stood Still". In My oppinion the old version is better but the part that always me gets is when the scientist says to the alien "when things get to the brink we, figure a way to make things work". Well im here to say that the brink is around the corner. Some of us are prepared. Some are scared, and some just dont give a fuck. Please give a fuck everyone. Just this once. We all need it...

Other than that Keanu was ...well..... Keanu....what did you expect?

Im gonna do a Review of the Notorious movie...hopefully it dosent let BK down....

check my blog if you're interested http://thetracspot.wordpress.com/

I want to give a G5 Shout out to the homie DJ Jase Cozmic.....You know we do my noogie!!!

Check out those podcast yall........the boy be mixin....thats wassup! http://g5radio.podomatic.com/


PEACE YALL.....and Lets make it happen!!!

G5radio


"Thats amazing!!!!!...Im blown away!!"...Spade of Citizen Kane

The first G5 Radio Jump off for 09 came in like it was the beginning of March.....LIKE A LION!!!!.....i swear to yall this was a great way to pop off the yr. If you thought the first time was a good vibe, then you never saw this coming. All suprise acts ..no wack juice! Spade kept things proper thru the whole night. He also gave us a sneak peak at some of new stuff on his upcoming album. We "Hoodrich" sun! For those who seen Lisa Banton at the first show knew what to expect from this very talented singer. Flawless!!! and heres the thing........they both were sick ....Wow!

I tip my hats off to real artist who live this thing here. no doubt.

and you know ya "boy boy" got his off pretty proper like....TRAC is da illest!!!!! cant wait to see the pics.......

Shoutouts to Troy black, Disco, Stitch7, K-Notty, Styles, Johnny Smash and a few others whom i cant remember their names. Everyone did their thing....

There was an Xrated part of the nite which i wont discuss.......but i'll say this...DJ Cozmic did not let the women down one bit...

after that, a classic battle btwn the dj and the man of the house....i dont know who won but the guns were big !!!!!! Boooyah!

"One time in this life and then ya done".....Stitch 7 (whoa!)

Ok so now that everyone has made it across to the next yr. (R.I.P. to those who didn't) i just want to say that these next 12 months can either go by fast, mid speed, or slow as a mofo. For alot of doers and growers there wont be enough time to do everything. For mid speeders which is usually a mix of gifted slackers to Vets, you move you grooove, you dont then...you wont!.... For those doing none well..crickets!

With that being said, all 3 have a chance at getting theirs properly. And I do mean PROPERLY!!!!. its just all on the individual motivation and circumstances. Some people excel in spots where other people dont have a clue and .....vice versa. Im at the point where i dont judge people as much as i should but remember all crews should have an "each one teach one" mentality.

"Knowledge is Power." we have all seen or heard this b4. The power of information. Information is to "know". Even the God MC Rakim said it was important to "Know The Ledge". Truth be told, its the reason College cost so freaking much. what else do think you're paying for? A degree? Ha! Those who actuallly finished college (cough!) can see that things are way easier to grasp when compared to one who hasnt (cough, cough!). Yet there are a lot of people in the "no school" criteria who are (if not, more)successful. I mean think about it "Hip Hop! started out in the dark, they use to do up in the park". a bunch of heads in the projects with nothing and living in very bad conditions found a way to get their mind off the stress. Everyone wanted better but that wasnt happpening at that time. No money and little education..... Who would have thought that decades later we'd have some of those same people Invited by scholars to talk and spit some "Knowledge" to college grads at seminars?

Are you getting the point? Do yall understand me? Get yours!! Just like Rome, Hip Hop wasnt built in a day and it damn sure wasnt done by one man. "Each wun Teach wun"!

....and Godspeed! peace!

4DaSoul

Rhythms of the Universe

We pay tribute to the notion that the world makes sense
without realizing that the universe is built on cells intense,
and we are controlled by the rhythms of the universe,
where time finds no path but the truth of love's verse,
While we sit and wait for pleasures not found,
the truth of the moment becomes something profound,
as if the world ever had time for skilled liars,
the ones who use religion to start political fires,
But the world is controlled by the rhythms of life,
where time has no heroes but what's lost to a knife,
and we beg for forgiveness in the name of religion,
where the concept of God is defined by Man's vision,
Knowing that life is more than just another day,
brings the time that it takes to shine far away,
but it's not about the shine of one man,
this plain of consciousness is about a clear plan,
It's up to us to find the spiritual wealth,
the type of existence based on cells and our health,
as we swear to ourselves that the world is our stage,
the truth of the matter is the soul's only rage......

WudUp

Let me get on my NY shit for a sec...... Hoodie on my head. Tims on my feet, Jeans fitting with a bit of room in them...I don't play that tight jean stuff at all. Overall standing firm and .......I wont say swag....i'll say Struttin with a NY Bop bumpin "Streets is Watching".....

"it aint nothing like Hip Hop music"!

For those who missed out on the first G5 show late November, you really should have been there to see what the hoopla was all about. G-Wonda came thru did his thing, Eso Teriq was pretty on point as usual. Stitch 7 was dropping some jewels. C-Dub I got to hear for the first time.(waddup) Lisa Banton showed why she is amazing (rock on girl) and Spade of Citizen Kane kept it at veteran status and rocked the night out.

and oh!.... put me somewhere in btwn there. Mic feedback n all!

you also missed the crazy giveaways....tee's, cd's, and just a great all around great vibe. G5 Party was a success.

A shout to the Dj's that held it down as well :Major, Kap, Becks(hope you enjoyed your b-day nite famo!) and Cozmic....

"you know when its fun, time can fly fast"........a fellow human from the hood!

Its about to be over y'all.......think about how far you came to get as close as you've gotten...think about positive energies and just being real with your homies whether they understood you or not. Think about all the BS you avoided so that you can breathe like a champ. and lastly think about all of those who are now in spirit and in memories we wont forget. Homies and Home girls i present to you Elevation....

'08 was probably one of my smoothest in life. a lot of things that have happened were real spontaneous like and i learned a bunch more about myself. i can feel the growth.

shit i woke this morning and saw a few grey whiskers on my chin...wow! its very inspiring.

I'm in no rush to get old but i must say when its all said and done, i hope i left behind some kind of good feeling to all my fam and friends. i know that i have kept it as 100 as much as possible. no need to try....but I'm damn sure not perfect... and thank god for that. that crown is way too heavy.
As for 09 re"soul"utions? not much just make sure i make money and keep in my right circles. I'm also learning to cut off all BS. and you should too...REAL TALK!

So drink hard and be careful and when the ball drops.... LET IT ALLLL OUT!!!!!!!!!!! it was defiantly a special year

til next time stay blessed

G5radio Weekly...

G5radio's Weekly Blog update...
"Check 1,2 and ya dont quit / cause if you love being broke you on some BULLSHIT!!".......TRACYO YO YO!!!

Its ya favorite NY runaway, T-dot hiding, hip hop
shaking, hipstep breaking ( we'll get into that later), and most
definitely reppin the reeeeeal. for those who dont know me, yeah
i been around the block more more than a couple times. the
problem is i never sold crack, (cough...maybe some weed), i
never was a street hustler, and i never shot anybody. sheeeeiiit i
never shot gun in my life...( maybe i'm lying ..not sure)... Overall
im just a good guy who grew up around some good sinister
people. some were blood related, some werent but they sure
acted like we close kins.
So why am i here? What do I have for you thats worth value?
Why am i "aking" all jehova witness like? (its a joke!). Ok heres
what i have for you ..........INSPIRATION!....its somn that i fell
asleep on the last few weeks ...then
BOOM!!!!!! .....OBAMA!!!!!....
You see being a black man.. of guyanese descent...and yes we
all are from africans( YO F*** ALL SLAVE MASTERS AND SOULJAH
BOY FOR THAT WACK ASS COMMENT..... GET YOUR MIND RIGHT
OR EAT A ***K!)..i grew up in a time of subtle mental racism. But
I can officially say through the all the mental chains and especially
living in Brownsville,Bk and living through the famed cracked era,
living to see a black man become "the leader of the free world"
was all worth it. I cried with with my pops over the phone thinking
of the time we fought over the word "nigga". I think of all the the
strains that i have been through all my life because of my skin
color. i think of just about everything. you see i never gave a shit
about how the government handled its black americans. But i
always kept hope for change. Is this the time? We'll see.
In the meantime, Cloud 9 is the location.........
Shout outs the the homie Koz for saying " Yo Trac, you need to
blog it out on g5 radio. wtf is you doing yo?". We should be doing
this more. And i Shall....
So bottom line expect me for me to call it like i see it. Not
everyone will agree with me but thats life. As long as we
acknowledge our mistakes and correct them, we shouldnt have
any problems.......... aiiight! You want problems with
me?.....WHAT!!
As i digress (exhale!)........ check the podcast that DJ Koz
aka "Black Irish" puts together. somn for ya player while ya
swaying around.
And yeah i got Projects... plenty to talk about.......didnt you
know i MC?
Til next time Family...... lets keep upgrading and make this world
a better place. INSPIRE!
TRAC aka Terry Nickz! (or Nickelz if you prefer)
keep an eye out for the "Nixtape"......
Muddyork has left the building...for now
