Satellite Feed: Hopsin (Tyler The Creator dis)

i caught this yung baw Hospin on the web earlier. and i got to say, the baw is nice. baw disses Tyler The Creator in this joint, and goes in on other MCs wit the same borrowed ass flow. i mean, we can say that baw offered a diss to Tyler cause, i mean, shit, Tyler got 16 and a half MILLION views on YouTube right now (thats 14 million more than Fabolous) and it makes sense to grab that audience. or we can (or i can) say that he has a point with the shit he's sayn. i mean, even Tyler says his shit is random, that it doesnt have a meaning. (whoever's their media coach needs to get fired) so whats the problem if someone else says it? the baw got...

DJ Cosmo Baker

Southern Hospitality - Twelve 12's - 2009 from Cosmo Baker at Letsmix.com."So I did a mix for my friends in the UK Southern Hospitality. They have a great series where they ask their fellow DJs to do a strictly vinyl set, aptly entitled "Twelve 12s" where you drop twelve 12" singles. I jumped at the chance to do it, since playing vinyl is always more fun and more satisfying than anything else. However, since I recently moved, I had most of my vinyl...

Pharrell's Rack-No Homo

i really like Pharrell's work. i think the baw, along wit Chad,( lets not leave him out) make some real incredible music from a real place. its like you can hear the Tribe in it, the JB's, the Primo. you can hear that they're crate diggers, that they have a vision of redefined, classic music. whatever the genre. they are to me the extent to which our form should be at. in front of the world, with the greatest of the elements intact... STYLE.a lot...

Bboy Salute: Ninja Man

anyone who knows the classic dancehall knows who this is. Desmond John Ballentine needs no introduction. he is the one and only Ninja Man."Murder Dem" will alwas be one of those songs from a classic tme in dancehall reggae. i mean, that scene looks like the rap scene these days. nah, maybe a lil worse. maybe a lot worse, cause they almost extensively deal wit slack. this nigga Vybez Cartel is proudly singin bout bleachin his skin n shit. back these times, the dance was ablaze wit groundbrakin acts and some of the most classic riddims ever. for me, Ninja will forever be that baw, who when clashin wit Shabba Ranks, who brought his son, said, "Look......

BBoy Salute: Hammers

all my D boys know the time! these were the official issue back when the crack game was insane. i looked and i searched, but i could not find a Volvo with these on 'em. cause if you remember, they really looked boss on them cars. Mercedes came out with Hammers on the AMG models of some of their cars, but these joints, with the chrome shinin and the wheel turnin was the signature of success in the hood. at least in ours. respect to the trendsetters...

BBoy Salute: Mercedes-Benz G Class

ive been in love wit this truck for a while. i hustle hard, but i aint seen it like this yet. i will tho. this joint is just so fly to me. that International feel, coupled with a quality brand with a rock solid reputation makes it all that much easier to justify the $100,000+ that this beauty will set you back. but it's highly capable and functional. it will ride in the outback of Australia and on safari in Africa, thru the mud and brush of the Amazon,...

Club 27

27 by _M_I_A_this is an unreleased M.I.A. track that speaks on the infamous Club 27, which is all of the performers who have tragically died at this age. its amazing sometimes to see the synchronicity of things sometimes. sometimes its downright tragic. one only hopes that in a bid for greatness, for legendary status, that this isn't an intentional decision in regards to none of them. because all of their deaths are results of self inflicted circumstances.members...

BBoy Salute: Too Short

say whatever you want to, this dude was the shit, some where, to somebody. shit, i used to hate his too simple, no goose pimple raps. but when u start to live that street life, his music takes on a whole nother meaning.i dont care what nobody say, when East Coast niggas was making up all kind of beautiful sentences about mostly imaginary stuff, Too Short was busy droppin real street shit. when u know the game of pimpin, then u know the shit he speaks...

Watch The Hook...

Otis feat. Otis Redding by watchthethronei got mixed feelings. on one hand, i like the way they just concentrated on the lyrics. stripped down, not a whole bunch of effects. its a good look for puttin that boom bap back. not that its superior. thats just the shit I like. but when i wanna roll official to some of that down south, i gets with that MJG n 8Ball. (moreso MJG cause the baw WILL say some fly shit...)but i think its a bit noisy. the vocal...

The Gushie!

now i'm no fan of women who to me display male characteristics. cant stand it. i question guys who do. like you'll never see Serena Williams in The Gushie cause of the shoulders and the jawline. too much man. cant rock wit that. so thats kinda how i felt about this chick. not physical characteristics, but her ways n actions. then i seen this and i was like DAMN!!!! i did not know she had it like this. yall prolly dont know who this is. i didnt when...

man, i fux wit this! this reminds me of that classic 80s RnB. this shit is fly. Three stacks verse is not really that inspired. its almost corny in some places. but it stays on course. Be is of course flawless, as she goes back to the style that made her great. it's an amazing thing to me; just like Michael Jackson, they both went to more pop music when it was the black music that made them great, made them superstars. i'm not limiting any artist's...

Bboy Salute: Nike Cortez

aka Forest Gumps it amazes me that a lot of yungbaws never even heard of these, but they swear they know 'throwback' sneaks. these were the classic Nikes WAY before the Air Force One. and they are almost as versatile. in all white leather tho. and the brown leather joints are monster in the fall. but these are the originals. even the nylons (below) get fresh with certain shit, and extra fresh on some everyday errand shit. if you ain't, get hip... _________________________________________________________________________________ AY...

BBoy Salute: Tascam Porta Studio 4 trak recorder

7 shot Colt. 45this is my joint! its enuff firpower to stop the bumrush, but still small enuff to tuck real good. it doesnt tuck as tight as a .380, but i'd rather have this cause its more reliable. this aint gonna jam on u at the wrong moment like that .380 or that 9 might. 7 shots is enuff to make sure that the family stays safe. a true American classic.and aint this pretty? same reliability, more shots, less recoil. who says u cant teach an old...

BBoy Classics: Boz Scaggs "The Dirty Low Down"

this is one of them joints when u throw it on, its always the right time. i mean, not in a room full of people that just fiend for whatever maybe poppin at the moment, but for those that really like MUSIC. this is one of thos joints that remind me of midtown Manhattan parties that used to rock in the 90s. NY used to be a real magical place. it still has a certain energy, like i feel charged when im there, but it's not the same. i know things change, but u cant help but want that energy to live on. if not for any reason but so that others can be enriched by what has helped you in your own development. thats that unselfish shit. i'm not sure that...

I NOMINATE FOR CLASSIC STATUS:

"YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL" By UsherWritten by Sean GarrettProduced by The Neptunesthe definition of a classic, to me, is that no matter when it's played, it still has power. power to move you or convey an important sentiment. in that ligt i think this composition, "U Don't Have To Call", fiots into that category. it never sounds dated, and still has an emotional impact intact in the recording that shows that they really captured an energy that was present at the time. a really great song, excellent production, and outstanding writing and arranging. CLASSIC.what do yall thi...

Dirtbomb cats couldn't wear these because you had to have style to rock these with the matching silk shirts and a suit or an ill terry cloth Fila tracksuit. The Buffalino knockoffs were easily identified, it just wasn't the same quality.Bally needs to re-issue these PRON...
