Vodka and Rum
Alright I don't do this often but music is a very "instrumental" part of my life and i feel that there is a lack of musical posts in my shit. Its not like its totally my fault though ( I type as some asshat blasts Gucci Mane out his car while rolling down my street) hmmm maybe its due to lack of inspiration =)
Anyway this Mixtape right here
FLY GYPSY- The Vodka & Rum Mixtape
Fire; nothing new in terms of lyrical content cause most of the songs are basically taken from other popular cuts from back in the day and even recently (hence "saturday night fever"- wyclef+ kanye verse from "american boy" over a crazy ass beat). The beats are tight as fuck! The most notable thing in my eyes is the unlikely tandem of a Jamaican and a Russian making music of all things...i can see them makin a killa drink though.
From Russia to Jamaica. The much talked-about new hip-hop duo Fly Gypsy made its first splash in late 2008...Founded by the Russian-born producer and songwriter Alexei Jendayi and the Jamaican-born emcee Komplex (aka Kowboy Kom), Fly Gypsy became an instant favorite among fans thanks to its infectious beats, catchy hooks, satirical concepts, and polished image. Music critics, meanwhile, have praised the Washington, D.C.-based duo for attaining broad commercial appeal without compromising its musicianship or its message, frequently comparing the duo to the Fugees, Jay-Z, and Kanye West.

Not bad company to be compared to...
Speaking of Jamaican i had my first Jamaican not too long ago; I've always wanted to fuck a Jamaican chick but it just never happened, i should have made it a mission but... well actually not really. It was tight as fucc though. "The way she backed it up on me baby oww have mercy" I didn't get head from her though cuz if i did I wouldn't use a condom and then i'd have to wonder and stress. I've always seen Jamaican broads as OD passionate (inverse: Loud) and strong (inverse: B*tchy). They have some of the strongest personalities in the Caribbean. Good thing and bad thing cuz they can get you into some shit. One of my folk back home in Brooklyn would have to fight a sibling or a friend every fucking time he got with a Yardie-American Chick and ima admit it turned me off to them at an early age.
Anyway goin back to the Yardie/Ruski Collaboration thing thats wassup cause I dont see things like that anymore. I see for the most part that we are basically still segregated, its just that this time its not an actual motive it just happens. Black people become involved in "black" things (tyler perry, mediatakeout, college hill, real houswives of wherever) and white people do their "white" thing (mayonaise, Paris Hilton, The Hills, Perez Hilton). Most of us hang out with people with the skin color as us and we don't give other people the same chance due to misunderstandings, ignorance, fear or whatever. Lookin back at my life i was never in that type of box; ive fucked with white people, Latin folk, Asians and of course people Black folk. I'm open like that and i guess i have they type of personality that can relate me to all those groups. Shit, back in college some of my boys would marvel at the simple fact that white girls can talk to me and vice versa. And i'd be shocked at their reactions because to me its not really a big thing; they human just like us and besides one would be shocked as to how much we have in common. It sure as fuck shocked me I lived in a house with 7 other white people and i was listening to hip hop blast throughout the house all the time!
We as humans have made strides toward race relations and intermingling to the point where seeing an interracial couple is almost common place. Yet even forming the simplest of relationships is as hard as GRE geometry; Imagine the music we can make together if we try.
Damn that last line was corny as FUCK
