Top 5 Dead or Alive?

Notorious BIG. It's been a while since I've listened to Ready to Die or Life After Death, and yeah, it's been far too long. The stories he could paint through his lyrics over slick beats will always be a treasure to listen to.



I'm not really sure where Biggie ranks in the greatest rappers of all time. Is his impact what it is because he was murdered, arguably, in the midst of his prime? We'll really never know. We'll really never know if he could have had the longevity to withstand the changes music have undergone. Nor will we ever really know if music would be what it is today if he had not been murdered.

Point of the post? Notorious BIG biography coming soon!

Things Are Looking Bleak

I've been worried as of late about the future. The market is tightening and with that, even the high profile jobs (read: legal jobs) are going to be trimming the fat (read: hiring law students). Coupled with recent problems in the finance industry including the HUGE bailout, Freddie and Fannie, Lehman....and now THIS. WAMU?!?!? Seized by the Government and sold to JP Morgan?!!??!

Needless to say, things are looking BAD.

Thankfully, the good stewards we call the government (the GOP) have been watching over us....[yes, this last line is dripping with sarcasm]. Can John McCain just permanently suspend his campaign?!?
