theLeftAhead

The timeless second single from Rhime Divine’s epic debut album, Expand Your Mind.

    Nick Jones – Dreamcatcher (feat. D-Wattz) Verse One: Nick Jones Everybody got a dream that they trying to chase But it seems to never catch it when it’s right in their face You just settle for less, afraid to take the chance To be something great, instead of living a sham I understand chasing a dream can be a risk But living is a risk so you gotta…

    Ted James – Memories Freestyle Verse One: My beginnings are my ends The end has begun Speak soft nothings And I’ll whistle with my tongue Matter of fact, pour the rum I’d much rather hum Let’s attack this ‘ole drum Until the moon defers to sun Twenty years on the run In the barrel of a gun Move faster backwards When the words back come On a journey…

City of the Year – That was freaking insane. (No, I’m not talking about President Trump firing F.B.I. Director James Comey on Tuesday. While that was the desperate attempt of an unstable leader to cover up the high crimes and misdemeanors that could prove his illegitimacy and was unquestionably insane, luckily for the former reality show star who currently occupies the White House, this is a basketball blog series so,…

In an effort to add some context to a troubling day, theLeftAhead turns our thoughts to the incomparable Carl Sagan. In a public lecture at Cornell University in 1994, Sagan presented a photograph of planet Earth titled “Pale Blue Dot” that was taken on Valentine’s Day 1990 by the Voyager 1 space probe. He then delivered a brilliant, poetic speech about the photograph’s deeper meaning. For those of us who…

Take the Power Back – I’d never spent that much time thinking about it. I never really needed to. His performance was too consistent, his presence too permanent. Few things in life were as reliable. Tim Duncan was the San Antonio Spurs and the San Antonio Spurs were Tim Duncan. It sounds so simple yet it’s the simplest things that are the easiest to take for granted. Sure, the unthinkable…

    Nick Jones & Dat Boy Chu – Life I Chose (feat. D-Wattz) Chorus: D-Wattz So with my soldiers by my side I hit the bottle and I pass the fire It’s too late for me I know it’s the life I chose Another rapper lying dead tonight People shaking heads passing by They don’t feel sorry for me I know it’s the life I chose (repeat) Verse One:…

For Brian I guess these moments are painful now Eyes watered in these moments now Like chopping onions in these moments now In these moments now, it burns. Our bond reverberates endlessly in the echoes of Expand Your Mind Déjà vu bottled and stored like vintage wine in a cellar of souls Aged in inferno, climate controlled to blister and scar the skin With every instinct beckoning to leave, it…

Dreamcatcher – On Thursday nights, the Los Anegeles Clippers defeated the San Antonio Spurs 102-96 at the AT&T Center in San Antonio to tie the best-of-seven Western Conference First Round series at three games apiece. The decisive game seven will be played at the Staples Center in Los Angeles in about two hours. The player of the game for the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night was Marco Belinelli. Marco…

Wattz Forever by Crew54     Crew54 – For the Love (feat. D-Wattz) Chorus: D-Wattz Sitting there, pen and pad Spitting raps, drowning tears, wishing that I can help to make a change some day Hoping that they play the words I say Now I’m getting there, looking back Never ever getting where I started at After all these years and the moves I’ve made Still do it for the…

Artist’s Note: It seemed like the game was rigged. We were young, frustrated, creative, agitated, innovative, irrational, and determined. We were more energy than knowledge but that was a good thing. Fearlessness emboldened us to dare. We perceived evil in the world and we knew we needed an outlet to resist it. We reached new depths of cynicism but dug underneath looking for something pure. We weren’t necessarily searching for…

Editor’s Note: The is a posthumous offering honoring the memory of D-Wattz, an American hip hop artist, composer, and producer. D-Wattz was a co-founder of Millinium VII Entertainment. He performed as a solo artist and also as a member of the group Rhime Divine. Wattz was an artist of the highest order. His gifts as a musician, composer, producer, and lyricist were limitless and he crafted his songs with breathtaking…

Wish You Were Here – I clutched the rose on my necklace and peered blankly at the television screen. Moments earlier, I had been standing with my wife, Jenn, in the center of the living room. After screaming, receiving a spectacular hug and then exhaling when it finally happened, I subsequently retreated to the couch and sat down utterly exhausted. I couldn’t move. I quickly realized that my momentary euphoria…

Juicy – It was all a dream… All thirteen players that suited up for the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 of the 2014 NBA Finals dotted the box score with at least two points. Yes, thirteen players scored for one team in an NBA Finals game. This has never happened before. The NBA expanded the active roster for an NBA game from 12 to 13 players during the lockout-shortened…

City of Blinding Lights – It has been quite a long time since the San Antonio Spurs have had a superstar basketball player on our roster who was born on the American mainland. 29 years to be exact. “How could this be?” you ask. Well, Tony Parker obviously doesn’t fit that criteria. He was born in Bruges, Belgium on May 17, 1982. Manu Ginobili obviously doesn’t fit the criteria either….

Here Now – It was a devastating way to lose the NBA Finals. When you’re up three games to two and you have a lead on the road in the last minute of the fourth quarter of Game 6, you have the trophy so close within reach that you can almost scape a fingernail on it. Even though no lead is ever safe in the NBA, the reason why you…

B.O.B. – When the hip hop duo, OutKast, released their debut album, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, on April 26, 1994, Tim Duncan had just wrapped up his freshman season at Wake Forest. Fast forward twenty years and OutKast is the most buzzed about act on this year’s summer music festival circuit and Tim Duncan is making his twentieth appearance in the NCAA or NBA postseason. In the past 20 years, OutKast has sold…

Wild International – The San Antonio Spurs organization should strongly consider sending a case of HEB salsas to Paul Pierce of the Brooklyn Nets, as a small token of our appreciation. Pierce provided a valuable assist in the effort to save the Spurs season yesterday afternoon when he blocked Kyle Lowry’s driving layup attempt at a series clinching game winner for the Toronto Raptors in their first round match up…

Free Bird – On the evening of Thursday, April 3rd, I turned the television off after having watched the San Antonio Spurs’ 19 game winning streak come to an end on the road and at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder. My good friend, Ryan, called me almost immediately after the game ended but I didn’t answer the call because, given the fact that he is not a Spurs…
