News and Views.... News and Views....

HEADLINE!!!   SHIT THAT MAKES U WANNA TRIP!!!

I just heard at Co-Op records that EPMD is bugging out and going splitsky. 
Apparently Ed and Dre were having a discussion about it on Yo! and said
something like "We don't want Erick Sermon solo... we don't want Parrish Smith
solo... it wouldn't work".  NO shit!  Erick and Pariish Making Dollars forever! 
If they break-up I may give up all hope!

Also on the breakup tip, I hear Nice n Smooth are ready to flip.  Apparently
they aren't making endz and fights iz breakin out about whose fault it is. 
Personally I think the reason they had trouble was cause the rekkid company
gave them no props... Ain't A Damn Thing Changed is still phizat.  The only
question is who is Slick Nick gonna go with?

Last but not least in the surprising column... I saw a twelve inch for Pete
Nice in Co-Op Records.  Has Pete Nice posing on the cover trying to look
hard... he only calls himself Prime Minister on the liner that you can see on
it... he does give props to Richie Rich by mentioning him... Richie Rich is the
only reason I'd even listen to it.

NEW TAPES!!  TAPES TO WATCH FOR!!

King Tee's new joint is out either next week or the first week of February.  I
thought it was called "Alkaholiks" but I just read a post that said otherwise

2pac also has a new join in February... no title yet... I guess he musta've
gotten off on the assault charges or else he couldn't have found time to do it
between movie and all.

Diggable Planets is also out in February.  I've seen a few disses, but I still
like the Quest sound of 'Cool Like That' and to me it has a nice smooth bass.

Last (and certainly not least) is Nineteen Naughty Three in February.  This
should be some dope chronic but somebody has been slammin Hip-Hop Hooray.  I
haven't heard it yet, but I don't seen how Treach, Vinnie, and K_G could miss
the mark.  I'm still jammin to 'Uptown Anthem'.

A STRANGE OCCURENCE...

I was awoken on New Year's Day by the rining of the phone... moms picks it up
and sez it's for me... "WHo the heck is it?"   "I don't know.. just answer the
phone".  I stagger in and pick up the receiver "Hello?"  "Yo this is MC Serch!"
I flipped!  A month ago I had written a letter to Spin because Serch had said
that white boys in Iowa don't give a fuck about Chubb Rock.  They printed it,
he saw it, he called!  I gotta give Serch crazy props because he was much cool
on the phone... he also had his homeboy B-Wise on the phone.  Anybody ever hear
of him?  Homeboy at Co-op told me that he's a rapper but couldn't call to mind
any cuts.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST

Based on some comments from my homeboy MC (props cause he's the only one to
contribute an article for C.O.R.E. per my request) I decided to lighten up on
the dissing white rappers tip.  I mean, MC Serch and N2DEEP are pretty fizat,
so I can't really sum up white rappers as a whole.  However, I can still say
that without being true to hip-hop, any rapper will suck, black or white. 
Evidence in proof is that PM Dawn is as bad or worse than Vanilla Ice.  Anyway
my point is that dissing white rappers really gets me nowhere (especially with
whites).  Instead of telling everybody how lousy Marky Mark is, I'm gonna spend
my time telling everybody how great Ice Cube is.  And that's what time it is
for '93.

Assalam Alaikum from MC FLash X

...pick up Dr. Dre, Kool G Rap, and Paris... support the Underground and
Freedom of Speech, and while your at it you'll get some phat shit!
