So That's Why My Ears Were Buzzing
O-Dub points me to a post from Clyde at Hip-Hop Logic (who sends me a lot of hits from netweed, you will note in the referrer list below), wishing me and O had given more coverage to the Andre/Native American flap.. I'll reply here:
I was out of the room (finishing latest addition to the blog play-by-play) for the beginning of Dre's performance, which was evidently the most flagrant part.. once I got back to the tv I cringed at the indian outfits and tepee but forgot to include that in my notes on the performance, which is the nature of live blogging, some things will slip by when I'm running over to add my thoughts during the commercial break.
After a discussion on okayplayer reminded me, I linked to a story about it in a later post, calling it a "glaring omission" cuz I had meant to mention it that night.. I didn't offer a rant of my own cuz if the community in question has spoken on its own behalf I don't always feel it necessary to editorialize, and especially since I didn't see the performance in its entirety I thought it better to let the link speak for itself.
I certainly appreciate the high expectations. I wish I could be 100% comprehensive but I don't think it will ever be possible for one man with a blog. There are always a bunch of issues I want to touch on but don't get around to, like I still haven't acknowledged the rooftop shooting here in NY.. also neglected the anniversary of Big Pun's passing and Bob Marley's birthday.. the passing of jazz legend Malachi Favors..
Plus I'm unemployed right now.. for folks like O-Dub who actually have a life it must be really daunting.
And I think that's the beauty of our blog community, none of us individually will be able to cover everything, but collectively we cover an incredible amount of ground by each adding our two cents and building on each other's thoughts. So I'd say if you think a particular story is not getting the light it needs, that's your cue to jump on it!

ha ha... what's next?... a hip hop blog watchdog group??
Watchdogs watching watchdogs watching wack broadcasts of wacky wigwamanomics.
If I'm not mistaken, Andre bit the whole "natives from outerspace" thang from George Clinton and the P-Funksters. Right?

I have plenty of half finished posts. It gets kinda depressing actually because when I started my blog I thought I could keep up the three post a day habit.
Hey, Eric...what's good with that network? That will some of this problem.

Yeah, I spent some time doing research on Movable Type trackbacks and I know how to set up a single-category site, but I really want to shoot for a multiple category site.
Open source trackback systems are still very much under development. Many of the major sites are using their own custom or adapted codes. I know this is very much dooable, but I'm reluctant to venture too far into "beta" territory.
Madison... I am down to handle most of the implementation. I can handle the domain, hosting, design, and coordination. The one thing I'm limited on is the time I can put into research. I'm also down for doing the maintenance.
Let's continue this discussion at the Stink Zone. Of course, EVERYONE with a hip hop related blog is very welcome to join.
You can click on my name to go to the forum where we will be discussing the network. It also looks like we have many new bloggers that might be interested in joining up.

As I noted in response to this response, I've learned some things from both Jay and O'Dub during this exchange. And it's interesting to see mention of the hip hop blogger gathering at Stink Zone. I've been meaning to check in on that. I'm just so busy although, like Jay, I'm currently unemployed.
I was also thinking of the P-Funk cosmic Indian connection. But no one's mentioned the guy in the Village People or that awful Biz Markie album cover.
Anyway, peace.
Clyde

That's what makes blogs so, uh, awesome, which eric completely fails to understand. Unlike traditional media which is simply MEDIA -> YOU, blogs are an infinite string of communication; blog to blog to reader to blog to reader to reader to yet another blog, etc ad infinitum. What this accomplishes is something resembling an automated "watchdog group," as you say.

Jay you forgot to mention that it's been since 5 years today since we lost Big L. Rest in peace to Mr M.V.P. There's a show for Lord Finesse's B-day and DITC reunion this week.

I hope someone catches the Big L show on video and/or on audio. That's gonna be fire.
