friday means rap music (on sunday premiere)




so i have this canadian friend. she lives in toronto. i was asking my canadian friend if on her itunes could buy feist’s “open season” (do as you wish, judge me). my canadian friend, a girl named sam, said that she could. see, it was canada only release, at least that is what it said online, so when i would go to apple.ca, it would pull a sneaky redirect for my itunes to apple.com, thereby nullifying my efforts to purchase the cd.

i started thinking about how pist i would be if i had to buy import cds all the time, especially up in canada, since we share the largest unarmed border in the world. so i went onto amazon.ca, online shopping that’s the same, but different, since it is canadian and i found out that the 10th anniversary of rap-a-lot records album was an import-only pickup upon its 1996 release. that means in the great white north, you were gonna have to fork out 25 bucks to listen to a bunch of foul-mouthed texan rappers. it would be like buying a d12 album, and why would you want to pay for an album with a bunch of no-name vagrants stealing mic time from eminem? on the rap-a-lot album, why buy an album with a bunch of dudes stealing mic time from scarface and the geto boys? so, the point is that if you are canadian, you never bought it, so here’s 5th track jammy:
