2010 in Review: A Year Without Clothes
Not my one year anniversary but still the first close of a calendar year since the site has been officially operative. Sort of sentimental. I’m popping Zycam to get it done. Thanks for the support. I hope you stick around for 2011. Generally, I thought this year was marked by the continued evolution of our […]
Wise Men
Inspired by a Peter, Paul, and Mary song. Last of the holiday entries. Rap news on deck. Performed by ipoet (d/b/a sintax.the.terrific). Music produced by Freddie Bruno. Today’s audio here: [wpaudio url=”https://thefreshjunket.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/2c3ef-10-lament-of-the-diamond-star.mp3″ dl=”0″ text=”Lament of the Diamond Star“]
Charitable Donations
Not rap news, but in this song I get knocked out by a Salvation Army volunteer while Harry Belafonte croons in the background. It’s maybe the best song I’ve ever done. But, it’s been out for a year and I’m not sure a single person has ever listened to it. Punched out cold. Merry […]
School Closings
An apology is in order. I found myself underwater last week and should have let you know. One of the best news weeks since I launched the site, including the blown tax deal, DADT ramifications, the Assange arrest, and the healthcare reform court ruling, and I just couldn’t get it done. But, some or all […]
Press Coverage
Major media outlets have been standing up to take notice of the forward-thinking news coverage here at ipoetblog.com. Take for instance KAXL 88.3 out of Bakersfield, CA. Their Level 6 Radio programming on Saturday night hasn’t been able to keep it’s hands of rare audio of me revealing the little known secrets of this site. […]
Above-the-Fold Freestyle Feature [Take 1]
My earliest visions for this site, included news freestyles. For those who don’t know, a freestyle is an unwritten, unrehearsed rap. Entirely extemporaneous. [There is some debate over the etymology of the word “freestyle,” however. Among the first east coast emcess, the term originally referred to a topicless, albeit prepared, verse. “Off the top” or […]
A “Pink Thursday” Press Junket Special
Happy Pink Thursday! The Week That Was. It’s come to be true that the Thursday after Cyber Monday after Black Friday is the most heavily trafficked rap blogging day of the year. People are on the prowl for great deals on news wrapped up in rap this day every December. Discounts as deep as 3-4% […]
The Skirmish of Northern Aggression
We are form and we are formless. A brooding sonnet to the conflict in North Korea. Not a festive reprise to the holidays. Themes include unprovoked shelling of Yeongpyeong-do by North Korea, over military exercises by South Korea (which allegedly crossed the Northern Line Limit); the sorrow of an ancient family divided; the cultural and […]
Autumn Special
Happy Thanksgiving! Due to travel, I don’t have a weekly roundup ready but it wouldn’t be very gracious of me not to share something for the holiday. It’s not a Thanksgiving song but it is a seasonal treatment, I think appropriate for the day. God bless you all. And, long live rap news. Performed by […]
