Envisioning what would Nardwuar bring when visiting?
Probably clippings from mom’s and the Jonah’s Saucony tape
The Morris Minor and the Majors record ought to be great
I drank a lot of V8 and that’s a tribute to the boss engines cars used to have
But me? I drive a used Prius,
checking out what Josef’s got at the museum
Dude, see it it’s amazing what he brought to Fort
Incomparable scores, it’s simply awesome and more
I mean, I could run the list but do yourself a favor, pay a visit
Our city is live, spread the word, stay a witness
Not born and raised, I was adopted by the three rivers
Guest of honor in China, minimized my need to besiege livers
Kashal-Tee and JON?DOE sent me mix tapes
Then I realized my words needed to fit the slick breaks
Friends honest enough to tell me that I need to strengthen the strong
Eliminating weak links in the bond
Who do I fear? Pain visiting sons and my wife
An mellow vibe is the undercurrent that’s live
Used to want to drive 18 wheelers rumbling by
Fresh Prince in his ride bringing the summer to time
Pharoahe Monche and Prince Po, I’m bringing it on
No checked luggage, are you bugging? Man they take it it’s gone
Give me a backpack or a duffle bag and I’m golden
If only I could shrink shoes, or find a way to fold them
If I don’t have the beat, no way the track is getting rapped
Cats spitting over their songs the definition of wack
So let the listeners determine if the show is live
Whether opening for out of towners or an open mic
Dropping names like the tags came with lubricants
Clumsy me, humblebragging up another super binge
I’m moving in, nope, the ’07 is my home base
I dropped this on tape, watch my words rotate
Growth rate, who cares? I do this for fun, not funds
Best believe some crazy merch is going to make a run
Short of breath? Wave a lung in the sky to call a Chris Webber
Fall is hoodies and shorts, yeah, I dig the crisp weather
This is chill time let some others stress and pop Tums
Or talk some brand of toughness cocking shotguns
I’m not one to be doing so, even though evil is deviously easy
The devil and angel are needing a meeting immediately
Eating at me from the meager insides, see that wasn’t so hard to write
Pardon my blistering barnacles reference, severing several memories with intrepid malevolence
Knew a guy by the name of Sponyfield who loved that word in his raps
Every now and then I’ll drink a coke with bourbon to splash
Inserting certain verbiage, perhaps the dirtiest earning his keep, speech surgeon is soon to arrive
With a glint of doom in his eyes, superhuman moving with his mind my my it’s time to zoom and I’m like
See you later, maybe yes maybe no, a weighted vest not my way to go
Hobnobbed with radio dudes getting free vinyl pizzas by the sleeve
Not the slice that’s the cut as the crossfader leads, proper? Nice. That’s Whatzup
Speaking of…Thanks to Doug for the coverage over the years
I appreciate deeply the opportunity here

Castor Pollux with the mixdown.
Started following Juga-Naut upon hearing him break down life and rap relating to Kool G Rap on Crate808 and I've been a fan since. Wordplay, skill, the dope backdrops, what's not to love? Sankofa
