Incisions with Precision Presents: Millie Pulled a Pistol on Santa by De La Soul

This time with Incisions with Precision NDT will be tackling a subject that is some what taboo in the African American community, child molestation. The track Millie Pulled a Pistol on Santa is in my opinion one of the most important songs De La Soul ever made. Not just because of the subject matter but because of how it explores the psyche of a child pushed too far. Click image for article.

Incisions with Precision Presents: U Mean I’m Not by Black Sheep

This time around NDT is delving into an interesting intro to an album that got mad burn in my sound system, Black Sheep’s debut album, A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing. The very first track called, U Mean I’m Not is what made the album stand out almost as much as any song on the album, and this album was filled with hits. But the intro set the tone for the types of far afield concepts that would be expressed on the album. Black Sheep consisting of two man crew Dres and Mista Lawnge were touted as the literal Black Sheep of the Native Tongues family. click the image for the article.
