Rappin' about Seattle

By choice, and probably partially by necessity, I'm gonna get through this winter with songs about Seattle. So today, I bring you several songs by Seattle Hip Hop artists, rapping about Seattle. There's a Portland and Seattle rivalry that's been going on since way before I moved here. Generally, Portland has a lot more to offer than Seattle but I'm gonna say with absolute certainty and love, Seattle has the best hip hop, here's my proof.

Cancer Rising - "Evryday Bidness"


Macklemore - "The Town"


Blue Scholars - "Joe Metro"


Jake One Featuring; Vitamin D, Note, Maneak B, and Ish - "Home"


Sir Mix Alot - "Posse On Broadway"


And finally today we have snow in Seattle, and even though it's 2 pm, I haven't had my morning coffee. So today is coffee and snow party deux. Also, I'm hungry for some arroz caldo.

Black Coffee and Cigarettes

Coffee is harder to quit than cigarettes. Morning rituals die hard. Tea won't cut it. I've quit cigarettes maybe three times and haven't touched the stupid things in years. In their absence, like an addict, coffee has become a replacement. My focus often fails me and coffee offers a quick and effective cure. With a focused brain, my body suffers. TMJ and heart flutters remind me once again, coffee is no good for me.



So I'm sitting on the couch, thinking about the cold winter ahead, drinking tea, wishing it was coffee.
