Where Is Spell Check When You Need It
I'm always weary of folks sporting foreign language tattoos. Unless it's a common phrase, there's no way for me to confirm that said person is making a statement or just has some dubm s**t on their bodies. Actress Hayden Panettiere falls somewhere in the middle (but really more in the second category) as her attempt to philosphize on her back and torso gets the thumbs down due to improper spelling. She inked herself with the Italian phrase "Vivere senza rimipianti", which means "live without regrets". That's all well and good, and definitely a sexy look, but rimipianti is spelled wrong...wah, wah...See a pic below from the Huffington Post.

Dilated Peoples: "Kindness For Weakness"
[audio: http://rubyhornet.com/media/rh/music/kindness_for_weakness_featuring_talib_kweli.mp3|width=180]Saigon: "A Change Gon' Come" (prod. by The Kick Drums)
Ok, I'm back. For real this time. Saigon drops a gem inspired by Rik Cordero's flick, Inside A Change. Rik talked about the film during our interview saying,
"It's based on the life of a friend of mine, Chris Alexander, who passed away in 2004. I used to produce beats back then and he was a rapper. We formed a deep artistic bond and I felt like I got a chance to glimpse into his soul. That's something that will be with me forever and his memory is the inspiration for the movie. It's definitely a labor of love and everyone involved came into the project because of that."
