Be Thankful for What You’ve Got
Great track for a dope summer evening, sipping on some Las Rocas Garnacha, eating some Tortilla Espanola and Pan a la Cataluna with a fly girl from Valencia. Tortilla Espanola is always better homemade.

Rest in Peace Isaac Hayes
The soul singer-songwriter (and G Manifesto Hall of Fame Member) Isaac Hayes, known for his gravelly voice, shaven head and copious jewelery (and dope music), died on Sunday at his home in Memphis, Tennessee. He was 65.
Hayes was found by family members, who discovered him lying next to a treadmill in a basement room at his home. Sheriff’s deputies performed CPR until paramedics arrived. He was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead an hour later.
Hayes, a distinctive and flamboyant figure among the black rhythm and blues stars of the early 1970s, found fame later in his career as the voice of Chef, the laid-back womaniser on the cartoon series South Park.
But it was his hit song for the soundtrack of the blaxploitation movie Shaft that made and cemented his reputation. An atmospheric blend of Hayes’s lover-man vocals, breathless backing singers and a funk-fuelled wah-wah guitar arrangement, Shaft – the song and the character – became synonymous with black urban cool. It also provided Hayes with an image that stayed with him for the rest of his career.

Issac Hayes has been a huge influence on The G Manifesto. I can’t really say enough about his music.
Rest in Peace.

Sick Sample: Human Nature – It Ain’t Hard To Tell
Saw what you will about Michael Jackson, but the guy is dope. Plus, I asked Tom Mesereau about him and he said he was completely normal.
Human Nature by Michael Jackson
Sampled on one of the sickest tracks ever:
Nas – It Ain’t Hard To Tell
and Miles Davis dope version:
Miles Davis – Human Nature
“It ain’t hard to tell, I excel, then prevail
The mic is contacted, I attract clientele
My mic check is life or death, breathin a sniper’s breath
I exhale the yellow smoke of buddha through righteous steps
Deep like The Shinin’, sparkle like a diamond
Sneak a uzi on the island in my army jacket linin
Hit the Earth like a comet, invasion
Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian, half-man, half-amazin
Cause in my physical, I can express through song
Delete stress like Motrin, then extend strong
I drank Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns in hell
From the spliff that I lift and inhale, it ain’t hard to tell”
