| X | | X |
| X | merry xmas | X |
| X | | X |
| X | heres some additional info | X |
| X | | X |
| X | Brooklyn N.Y. û Mista Lawnge, of the popular 90s group Black | X |
| X | Sheep, which released its first Hip Hop album in 1991 A Wolf in | X |
| X | SheepÆs Clothing will release a new album this month called The | X |
| X | Class of æ89. Using the revised stage name of Mr. Long, this new | X |
| X | release is LongÆs solo quest for a more ôcreative and diverseö | X |
| X | music genre. | X |
| X | | X |
| X | ôTodayÆs Rap is a scratched record focused almost exclusively to | X |
| X | street commentary about money, cars, drugs, jail and death,ö said | X |
| X | Long, who has spent the past 6 years on stage with Black Sheep | X |
| X | doing club dates and national tours. | X |
| X | | X |
| X | ôBeing æWhackÆ is the new dope,ö said Long. ôI call it a | X |
| X | glorification of the ignorance of small minds û where rhymes are | X |
| X | about materials things, sex and the underworld and not enough | X |
| X | about æcausesÆ.ö | X |
| X | | X |
| X | The Class of æ89 is LongÆs response to a following of fans over | X |
| X | the last decade continue to flock to Black SheepÆs concerts | X |
| X | seeking the old sound ôwhen Hip Hop was music.ö The Album | X |
| X | represents LongÆs desire to give listeners variety. A variety | X |
| X | that swept the Hip Hop airwaves in the 80s and early 90s from | X |
| X | artists as diverse as Public Enemy, NWA and 2 Live Crew on one | X |
| X | end of the spectrum to GangStar, Black Sheep and Pete Rock and | X |
| X | C.L. Smooth on the other end. | X |
| X | | X |
| X | æI am not saying there is no room for lyrics about crime and | X |
| X | punishment or sex,ö said Long. ôI understand why they do what | X |
| X | they do because people without money in general like to escape | X |
| X | their reality and fantasize about material wealth. This desire | X |
| X | was prevalent when I came into the GAME!ö | X |
| X | | X |
| X | æMy problem is that todayÆs Rap music does not give those drawn | X |
| X | to Rap music any productive ways to get what they desire. I grew | X |
| X | up in the hood and I empathize with hustling,ö said Long. | X |
| X | | X |
| X | ôThe Class of Æ89 is a return of leadership to the Rap | X |
| X | generation. Mainstream America may not have related to or | X |
| X | understood Hip Hop and its breakthrough in popularity in the | X |
| X | 1980s. But it was accepted and even appreciated because the | X |
| X | artists displayed talent and creativity through this genius form | X |
| X | of expression called Hip Hop,ö concluded Long. | X |
| X | | X |
| X | Producers, DJs and Hip Hop fans are calling this new album a | X |
| X | ærevivalÆ and tribute to the true spirit of Hip Hop. Featuring | X |
| X | tracks like ôI wish you wouldö, ôQuality timeö, and ôLickinÆ & | X |
| X | StickinÆö. The Class of æ89 will be available as of July 2006 | X |
| X | online at mrlongmusic.com and CDbaby.com. | X |
