This was the lead track from the Block Politics Mixtape hosted by DJ Epps. It was an official warning shot that Tha Union would no longer promote the “Ready 2 Strike” mixtape series. That particular DJ who was using the title pretty much stopped using it as well right after this track came out in 2005. This was a typical battle rap / lyrical track over a crazy beat to set the tone for the whole mixtape. Yes, DJ Choppa Jones is still up next, look out for a collabo mixtape with him soon enough.

This song is from the Block Politics mixtape featuring DJ Epps and it marks a turning point in my political philosopy. It was recorded and released in late 2005 when I was still a HARDCORE Democrat, trying to promote the idea of using the 2006 midterm elections as a last chance to remove the Bush Crime Family from office. Little did I know that the Democrats WOULD win that election, take control of congress and then let that asshole Bush and his fucking buddies walk off without a scratch. No impeachment! Back then I was naive enough to believe that the Democrats actually stood for the Constitution, the rule of law, justice, (yadda, yadda, etc and a bag of cookies). We now know that the Democrats are a bunch of coward ass motherfuckers and that the Republicans are still assholes. Fuck them both!

Recently when George Carlin died I was watching a bunch of his videos on YouTube and heard him say that he too abandoned the Democratic Party early on in his life, probably for similar reasons. If you want to know where I stand politically these days then listen to Common Sense. Peace!

About:
This song was originally written and recorded in the Little Havana recording studio / apartment that I like to call Abuelita’s Duplex Studios sometime around 2004. This one became one of our biggest underground hits so far (and it still gets us lots of positive feedback) and it even ended up being DJ Epps‘ Saturday Night Radio show intro on 103.5 The BEAT. Caliba and I took turns writing our verses so that we made sure the first line of our verse would match the last line of the previous one. Listen to it an you’ll see what I’m talking about. It was written and recorded in one evening but it’s staying power is timeless! There will be a video for this, I’ll make sure of it!
This song was included in Rushed Again.
