City Limits: Ottawa’s Hip-Hop Story

 We went to see a documentary about Ottawa's hip-hop scene, made by Ben Telford Visuals, and it was really well done. Several old school heads and a lot of new artists made up the various people involved in the project. Looked great and flowed very well. Ben Telford Visuals has stated he would keep me in the loop on it's widespread public release.

 Definitely a class act... I was fortunate enough to see Classified perform a few times and even met him at the radio station once. He was pleasant, interesting, and interested. My memory of Classified is nothing but positive. His stage show, one of the tightest I've ever seen IMO. Massive shout to Classified, Gray (who promoted him for years in Ottawa), and DJ IV. Salute!

 Ran this one on the show last week. Entire album is produced by Da Beatminerz.

This Year...

 This year I'm going to try a bunch of things differently... need a touch up first. Rap is outta control.

 I had a friend or acquantance that used to say, "wishing is for suckers". I'm not sure how else to put it, but I wish I'd blogged consistently nearly 20 years ago when it... became. A gift or possibly a curse is my brain easily calculating numbers. Like how old I am and what year my parents were the same age. Which then leads to, where was I and what was I doing around that time.

I suppose I say this because I'm pushing 50 years old now and question where I wanted to be in life, what I wanted to be doing versus my present scenario. I'm happy, for the most part, but continue to strive for more. More equipment, more money, more vacations, more, more, more. However, also a little less, less, less. Less alcohol consumption, less drama, less bullshit, etc. etc. etc.

I'm hungry though... I'll be back after these messages...
