Bad ideas are flourishing like Washington lobbyists. Just look around. It’s near impossible to blink without countless crackpot ideas coming into view. What’s more, the worse an idea is, the more popular it becomes.
Take Mickey’s Fine Malt Liquor. It’s almost as destructive as doctor prescribed pain killers. Yet people chug down Big Mouths as if their lives depend on it.
Or consider central banking. Has any other single idea extracted more wealth from the lowly wage earner? The Federal Reserve’s backdoor taxation program has snookered honest hard-working Americans for over 100 years.
Why is it that bad ideas are so warmly received? Perhaps, it’s because they generally promise something for nothing. That one can live off the forced philanthropy of their neighbors. That one can get more out of their retirement fund than they put in.

The Have Nots
Album Type: Explicit Lyrics (4 out of 5 stars) With MUGGS gone from the production side of things many thought that this would be a huge dissapointment,...THEY would have been very very wrong!!! Everlast and Lethal themselves took over full control of that+layed down some phat beats for them to rhyme on. The only downer is Danny boy doesnt appear on any more than 2 joints but when he does he lays down some excellent flows. EVERLAST is at his pinnacle here, delivering some of his best work with the confidence of a true mc. His gruff style was perfectly suited to the bone crunching beats on display here. Along for the ride is COKNI O DIRE+DIVINE STYLER (Skeme team) who were down with Everlast back in the day. Standouts are the magnificent fed up , heart of sorrow , pass the jinn , no doubt and fed up(remix) featuring GURU. Another classic in the H.O.P trilogy!!!
