Bobby Brown - Don't Be Cruel (NJS Throwback)
Sooner or later I had to throw in some Bobby Brown, the father of new jack.
Mee Sum Pastry, Seattle
Barely a month into the move and Seattle has given me a new favorite food: Cantonese hum-bao rolls, steamed pastries filled with anything from BBQ pork (the best) to curry chicken, vegetables, and a lot of other things. There's a lot of confusion surrounding the name, wikipedia has an article about them entitled baozi which has them credited to " the scholar and military strategist Zhuge Liang (3rd century AD)" either way they are absolutely delicious. They're on the menu at Mee Sum Pastry as hum-bao's and insanely delicious there, I've been to their shops in the university district and down by the market downtown and both serve up crazy good chinese bbq pork pastries that always leave me feeling like "I want Mee Sum More."

New Jack Throwbacks
I'm officially kicking off what's hopefully going to be a staple of this blog, The New Jack Throwbacks. This is going to be a section of the blog with updates featuring old skool New Jack Swing R-n-B music videos and throwback tracks. You can just follow the label new jack throwback and i'll occasionally post links to the New Jack Throwback section in addition. I've already posted some videos of Commissioned, Troop, & Tevin Campbell to the section, and to start things off right here's some dope french new jack swing proving that new jack had success as well as serious talent internationally. Here it is, N'Groove:
Hemp Farming Now Legal In Oregon
Salem, OR: Democrat Gov. Ted Kulongoski signed legislation into law this week that seeks to license farmers to cultivate hemp as an agricultural commodity. Hemp is a distinct variety of the plant species cannabis sativa that contains only trace (less than one percent) amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive compound in marijuana.
As approved by the legislature, Senate Bill 676 authorizes the state Department of Agriculture to regulate the commercial production of cannabis containing levels of THC under 0.3 percent THC.
Similar legislation was also signed into law in June in Maine.
A handful of states – including North Dakota, Montana, and Vermont – have enacted regulations to allow for the licensing of industrial hemp production under state law. However, such production remains criminally prohibited under federal law, which defines all varieties of cannabis as illegal under the Controlled Substances Act.
Legislation pending in Congress, HR 1866, the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2009, seeks to amend federal law to allow for the state-licensed production of hemp, free from federal interference.

Conscious
Just discovered Conscious - rapper, thinker, musician, artist, poet; here's how he describes himself:
Epitomizing, the attitude of a spokesperson for the anti-pigeonhole movement, Conscious is an artist of many facets. A lateral thinker that not only contemplates outside of the boxes that society attempts to create for him, but reshapes them to fabricate art in multiple forms.
Here's his reference track for "Simply" off his upcoming project 1984 Complex, the song's obviously a work in progress but even the bare bones are beautiful.
