Mondays hurt, so does the truth

I didn't do much this weekend. Hung out with the family. Played a little basketball. Spent a fair amount of time tweeting with Geoff. Enjoyed a few beverages. And downloaded a shit ton of music.

I'd been pretty delinquent in this area of late with all the other "things" going on in my life, so this was a welcome and necessary exercise. What I downloaded isn't really the point of this post. In fact, there isn't a point to this post. It's Monday. I guessed that, with the Doofus Overlord already drunk down in the Conch Republic, we'd be in need of some filler. And, as often happens when you're downloading new music, I stumbled upon a few songs that rank among my all time favorites that had somehow slipped from my regular consciousness.

Two of these (no longer)forgotten classics are titled "The Truth". They each feature one of my favorite less known MCs (J-Live, Brother Ali). Both of whom have unique backgrounds for rappers. Each song also comes from a compilation type album.

So it stands to reason that they're pretty similar, right? Hardly. While both come from the so-called underground hip hop genre, they couldn't be more different in terms of style, tempo or energy. Hopefully Dave will at least mildly approve of this G:TB musical selection.





Enjoy your Monday. Print out this morning's MMQB and read about the greatest weekend in the history of offseason sports transactions for 15 minutes while you're on the can. Yeah. That'll make it all better.
