We understand the Yankees need pitching. We understand Javier Vasquez had a 2.87 ERA last season. Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t right? Not when it comes to the Melk Man, Melky Mantle, Leche, the Melky Way. Melky Cabrera earned everyone of those nicknames. Let’s take a look back on what made Melky so special.

…the difference between Monkey Wrench and Fly Union
Iyeball: Fly Union has a general direction, where as MonkeyWrench is more experimental musically. But because it’s all really the same, it filters over to Fly.U and Jerreau’s music. In a nut shell MonkeyWrench is the R&D (research & development). Monkey Wrench will do weird stuff, and sometimes it falls in Fly.U land, and sometimes it doesn’t.
…on the making of “Grind Like”
Iyeball:The beat was made a couple months ago while I was experimenting with different formulas, from a production side. That happens a lot [with me] being a big J Dilla fan. I kinda focused on the way the shaker/hi-hat sounded: programmed, yet natural sounding.
I always liked the beat but it sat for a while. Until [one day] I compiled a playlist of beats that I wanted to use in some form or another. While driving to the studio listening to the [beats], I came up with the first line of the song - this is how it usually works for me. I laid just the first line down, and is started flowin! During this time I was goin thru some personal ish so I had to let some things out! I did the first two verses that night, and sent it out with no hook. Everyone liked it, so the next day while I wanted for Swifa to get to the studio and lay the hook, I thought up and recorded the 3rd verse. Swifa came and killed the hook…the rest is history.

I don’t mean to offend
Or speak out of turn
But the man they called Jesus
Shall never return
He’s not indifferent
Or above our concern
2000 years later
We still haven’t learned
No matter how we may pray
No matter how we may yearn
No ascension
No returnNo he’s not in heaven
No he’s not in an urn
He’s not in that place
Where sinners all burn
No Jesus never died
High up on that cross
No human kind
Never suffered that loss
Being a martyr
Just wasn’t his role
Dying so young
Just wasn’t his goal
Jesus just aged
Into a jolly ole soul
On top of the world
High on the North Pole
Merry Christmas from the Englishes
