Casual - Freestyle In The Park

Casual's always been one of my favorite MCs. He's been def for years, and that line where he goes, "the mic motivator, hold the mic like Yoda hold the sabre" in his Handsome Boy collab, kills me everytime. Hiero Imperium in full effect on this clip.

Hip Hop for Sale

1520 Sedgwick Ave. the birthplace of Hip-Hop is set to be sold for an estimated 7.5 million dollars. Kind of crazy to think that the place that began a movement is about to be sold for less than 1/10th of what Jay-Z makes. It must have been crazy to be there in its day. The worst part, the sale of the building is putting the future of the building's 100+ residents in jeopardy. Now the placed that housed Hip-Hop, won't be home to anyone. But I guarantee, the essence will always remain.

Straight Pimpin' Pimpin'. Check it, I came across this recently.

P.S. I wanted to try out Blanco's Double Cheese from McD's with that Tapatio. But I was short on Tapatio and hit up that Chipotle Tabasco. That ish is crackin too. Ups to the Dawn

More Banksy

Word is, that Banksy is on his U.S. Tour, and he has enlisted the help of a few friends at Colossal Media, to put up this three story piece in SoHo. You got to love it man. Seriously, I would love to get to just tour the U.S. painting up murals like this.

Ludacris ft. Floyd Mayweather

I've been seeing Ludacris, coming up with tons of stuff online. From videos about collaborations and artists that he's been working with. I mean, Ludacris isn't my usual style music, but I can't say I hate his stuff. I actually really like it. It's creative in its own way, and the way he strings together words is pretty unique. Nevertheless, after hearing him say he was going to be working with the likes of T.I. and 9th Wonder, it was a bit surpising to see a track emerge featuring Floyd Mayweather. I know homie moved into the promotion business, but man this is a bad promotion. Go back to boxing, fight PacMan, end of story.

Club Review: Bubble Lounge SF

Unsatisfied with the nightlife in San Jose, I ventured to “the city” for new experiences. This weekend I went to Bubble Lounge in San Francisco off Montgomery. This club is low key; therefore you don’t have to worry about wiping your sweat from dancing so much. Techno was the main choice of music for the DJ, mixed with a little underground and mainstream hip-hop. The crowd is the best part of this club, it is diverse, consists of many healthy women, and everyone is extremely friendly. Also, there’s no haters and people trying to mug you, and if this club were to get boring, Broadway is only a couple blocks away. Personally, I had a very good experience at this club, and if yall decide to go I hope you have just as much fun as I did.

You Gotta Try..

Just thinking of that nasty ass beer below leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but if anyone wants to try something that does taste good at low cost, head over to McDonalds pick up some doublecheese burgers and throw some tapatio on them. Personally the taste smashes on doublecheese burgers with big mac sauce.

DO NOT DRINK!

Last weekend a couple of us were chillin and drinking some brew. In a attempt to try something new, one of us bought "Budweiser Clamato." The taste of this beer is fuckin nasty, the sensation and experience of drinking it is like swallowing yack, followed by an aftertaste that stays with you for at least 30 mins.

Happy Birthday Ruby!

You know who she is. It's our girl Ruby's birthday today. So come out and show your love. Happy Birthday Rubes.

Banksy Update

We posted an entry a few weeks back about Banksy, and who he was. I was looking through a few articles, and actually got my first glimpse of what the actual Englishman looked like. I have his book, and have looked through parts of it, but never actually saw an actual picture of the man himself. Nevertheless, before the hurricanes arrived this year, Banksy went through New Orleans painting up a storm. And what it seems, is that people have been going through the Lower Ninth Ward cutting out his pieces and keeping it as their own. Shoot, I would too if I was there. The remaining pieces that can't be cut out, have been getting painted over.

Enjoy your Saturday folks

Who the Hell is Banksy?

So who the hell is Banksy? If someone were to ask me I would say I don’t know. What I do know is he has great artistic skills in graffiti style art, that has opened eyes from people all over the globe. He has even received large checks from celebrities such as Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Christina Aguilera for his artwork. Banksys’ work is known for making headline stunts that deal with politics, war, and controversial topics. Many would assume that a person with this much artistic skill would want public gratification and attention, but his true identity has been guarded only by his close homies to avoid attention from the public, press and even haters. Till this day Banksys true identity is still unknown to the public but his work is know by many.

Bomb$hell Beauty of the Month

Many times when men and women argue, tempers flare, harsh words are exchanged, and sometimes women throw the mans belongings out on the street or even the man himself (not speaking from experience). Septembers Bomb$hell beauty of the month is someone you definitely do not want to argue with, let alone have her throw you or your belongings out. Leryn Franco, a javelin thrower from Paraguay participated in the 2008 Olympics and soon may be participating in our imagination with the assistance of KY jelly. Aside from throwing long ass sticks for distance, 26-year-old Franco is a professional model and was runner up in the 2006 Miss Paraguay competition and Miss Bikini Universe pageant. Although Miss Franco placed second to last in the qualifying round of the Olympics, she deserves a gold medal for being so damn fine.
