"Z.O. Stop playin! What's the official mixtape name?!?"
That's a good question right about now.... Lol
Let's take it back for a minute. As you know, when I recorded the Real Life freestyle, I announced that the name of the mixtape would be entitled Hip Hop N.E.W.S.... HHN was then changed to "Prospectively Defined" which was named after my alias "Prospect". But since I no longer go by that name, I changed it back to HHN. Listenin too all the tracks I recorded, HHN doesn't sound like a suitable name.
Anyway, the name of the mixtape will simply be named Z.O. Presents "This is my Mixtape"
I don't need a crazy name, the music is all you need..... So be on the look out next month!!!
Peace!!!!

Racism is sooo old... yet its still alive...
Yea I said it, its gettin old maaaane..... hear me out:
Its 10 o'clock in the mornin, walkin into the barbershop. Im dappin up all da barbers and whateva.
One dude ask me "how I'm livin?"
I'm like "I'm jus maintainin, I can't complain".
He says "Yea datz all us black people can do is maintain, bein that "Da White man" is keepin us from progressin"
Me: No comment.... I'm not really good at respondin to non sense... anyway....
I'm gettin da phresh fade from my mans and what not... and there's like 5 plasma screens in da barbershop all playin Sportcenter.... everyone seemed to be real laid back, UNTIL... a scene from "one of the most controversal radio spokesmen", Don Imus, making yet another slick comment towards a black athlete, Pacman Jones. Anyway I'm not gonna speak too much on that because ya should already know about it.
Movin on....
After the footage was shown, everyone spazzed out about the situation EXCEPT this one black dude who I actually found to be one of the most intelligent dudes in the room. His response to the situation was "Though it did sound kind of racist, you can't jus blame him 100% for what he said" it was a good opinion....
Unfortunately for him, no one agreed. They questioned him on whether he was a real black man or not. Some people jus flat out called him a "Cracker". But what really caught my hearing was when this dude yelled " NIGGA if a white NIGGA call me a NIGGA, ima punch dat NIGGA in da face, I ain't a slave" How hypocritical was that statement?? Smh He said the word NIGGA like 4 times... smh, cmon yo
Now heres my question to all of ya... if YOU (meanin yourself) really have a problem with racism, are you doin anything to change that? Or are you that person that's jus talkin shyt, thinkin that you can jus call a white person a nigga, nigger, cracka, or cracker, and thinkin he can't do the same to you.... also understand this is the year 2008 NOT the 1800's.... back then there wasn't any opportunity for minorities. They actually been thru the REAL struggle... and I'm not talkin bout the 9 ta 5, behind on bills struggle, or da "I can't do shyt because no one won't give me a chance" struggle....
Fam! Its however you make it... I know what its like in da hood..... and ill be real, only people that I was goin to war with was my OWN people... and all we can do is blame the police for lockin us up... We need to focus on ourself and stop pointin the finger wheneva something bad happens to us..... pretend that black people were the only people on the earth Starting right now, you think it'll be a better place then???
If you disagree with what I'm sayin, dats cool.... try not to come at me sideways tho....
Ill stop right here....
