Music. O.C. (Not The OC)
Music. O.C. (Not The OC): "You lack the minerals and vitamins, irons and the niacin / F**k who that I offend, rappers sit back I'm bout to begin / bout foul talk you sqwak, never even walked the walk / More less destined to get tested, never been arrested / My album will manifest many things that I saw, did or heard about..."
Times Up is one of those rare songs that are timeless. It has to be amazing to create a song that becomes an actual philosophy for some. Well, O.C. isn't done creating classics. His new album, Smoke and Mirrors, is a pretty solid effort. The lyricism is still there. His style brings you back to an era when being street and being smart weren't considered incongruous. Check out this smooth banger from the new album [This is me]

Yup, and "Starchild" is one of the best albums this year. O.C. = totally slept on. I am not loving this new album, though.
Ultimate Hustler is on tonight, right?
