Happy 50th Birthday, Graffiti!
In 1967, some dude in Philly wrote his name on a wall to get a girl's attention. My how this culture has grown up since then.

1982 (Statik Selektah and Termanology) "Up All Nite" *the flyest song i've heard in a minute!*
no joke... this is really the flyest song i've heard in a minute. i think the song or lyrics that really caught me out there was the baw Columbo Black that my man Lex Boogie put me up on. that shit was ill. this is FLY. where the feeling is like i am, not i wanna be. like how Pac's 'I Get Around' was. i can see this heavy on MTV 2 for the summer. i can see girls really liking this.
its got the right feel. it feels like the 90s,...

Ran Out Of Choices?
i was reading on XXL.com that Jimmy Henchman is starting his trial for drug charges. they allege main man sent crazy keys thru his mailing system for the record companies. i dont wanna comment on none of that. cause if main man didnt do it, good for him. and if he did, well, lets leave that to the courtroom.
what i am gonna address is the fact that even in this high tech age, dudes are still selling drugs. in this digital world, drug dealing...

Bean Bean
im a single father. it has turned out to be the single most rewarding thing i have ever done. especially for a guy like me.as a young man, my vanity in my stringy hair and the amount of money i used to make on the street kept me in an arrogant place. i stood a girl up for her senior prom. i made a girl buy me an MPC drum machine ($1800) and i never so much as kissed her. i even, at my worst, made a girl stand in the corner when she said she's...

Waves NLS Analog Summing In The Box!
ay man, this thing got me excited! when i saw it, i was like whoa. for all of you that do audio (and im sure thats plenty of you) you all have been in the center of the controversy of the analog vs digital debate. and if you do audio, you know that that divide is on a steady decline. it used to be a time when the feeling of depth and warmth that could only come from an analog processor, this was an easy debate to have. analog wins. but now a days, there are digital processors that have a lot of character and are go to tools for top mix engineers worldwide. one such processor that comes to mind is the Waves Renaissance Compressor, which has...
Old School Philly Graffiti
for those of you who may not be aware, Philadelphia is the birthplace of graffiti. if that shocks or amazes you, dont worry, i'll explain all of that later to you in a later post. but for right now, that needs to be said in ordder for you to realize why this video is so dope.
the guys in this video are not just fly by night writers. naw, these were dedicated respected adherents to the art of graffiti. and if you know anything about the Philly form of graffiti, it is highly stylized writing that exists in a competitive environment of who gets up the most in the hardest, most clever places. and these dudes did it for real.
so for all...

Nike Montreal Racer
This is one big throwback to the seventies era. They are set to introduce vintage racing shoe from the previous month. It is also designed for the first ever athlete endorser of Nike with the waffle supported silhouette made out of premium suede and some nylon. It also has aged leather that works on the swoosh logos and the heel tab. It comes with a foam padded tongue too and a midsole that is yellowed to make it a lot more vintage.
these...

Vicki Anderson "Message From The Soul Sisters"
for those of you that know, music, you may know who this is. if not then i know you know the voice. for all of you that have heard songs like "Fake Ones" by Lil Kim have heard this song. of course, this record was produced by the true king, James Brown, who is really the father of a few music styles, directly or indirectly. i know that these people from back these times just had a whole 'nother kind of cool. so enjoy. and trust me, more content is on the way. and more consistently. ride wit us....
