Nike Purple SB Blazer


Releases in Janurary. I think it will be a general release so it won't be too hard to buy. Let's hope so.

A Clockwork Orange


Brilliant movie that everyone should see. I'm mad at myself for waiting so long to see it. Malcolm McDowell elevated himself into one of my favorite actors of all time off this performance alone. His charcter Alex starts out as the villain but by the end you have to feel bad for him. All I can say is that this is a must see movie. One of my favorites.

1988



I've been gone for a while but now I'm back. I haven't been excited about a mixtape in a long while but I just downloaded Mick Boogie's remixed version of Adele's classic album 19. It is 19 mashed up with different 80s beats. I love Adele already and her album is amazing but this mixtape makes me love her even more. If this wasn't a free mixtape I would gladly pay retail for it. It's that good. If you haven't heard it yet please go pick it up. It wont disappoint.

Best track in my opinion is "Make You Feel My Love"

Check it out

Across the Universe


I can't wait for this. I need to see one of their shows. I heard they're amazing live. On the teaser it says it released November 24th but I tried to order it and the website said it doesn't release until December 9th.

Adverts...

In my honest opinion Nike Soccer has the best commercials so I'm just going to post some of my favorites.




American sports need to promote their athletes more, especially football. Most NFL superstars aren't recognizable to the average person without their pads on and that needs to change. The only player that gets Superstar treatment by the media is Peyton Manning. He's in more commercial than any other player in the NFL. The NBA does a good job of promoting individual athletes but not as well as soccer does. I would like to see more American athletes in adverts like these.

The Pink Panther


Greatest commercial ever! Franck is the man for this one. I would buy these if they had them in my size even though I don't play soccer. They're that nice.

In4mation x Casio G-Shock DW-5600


The name of this watch is "Purple Rain" it drops later this month and I need this. But of course it's a limited edition release so chances are it's way too expensive and I probably won't get it.

Heartless


This is my favorite song off 808's and Heartbreaks so far. I'm a big fan of cartoons so I really like the direction he took for this video. Hype Williams has been doing his thing as of late. I'm still not feeling the whole concept of Kanye's album but we'll see how it goes. Still not feeling the auto tune though.

Brandy Alexander


One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite artists. Feist had one of the best albums of 2007 in "The Reminder" if you have time you should give the whole album a listen. This song is one of the highlights off of a superb album. Check it out.

A Trip Back To Memory Lane


Shout outs to Hector for making this video in class back during senior year. I was dying when this first came out. It's hard to believe its almost been 3 years since this vid was made. Oh yeah shout outs to Mr. Hanley too his Western Philosophy class was decent. If you don't know who Mr. Hanley is, he's the dude that walks past the camera and just smiles. Those were the days.

We Gettin' A-Rab Money?


This is too funny. But in all honesty, knowing the current market I think this song will be a hit.

Trouble Sleeping...


I've been on a little bit of a hiatus but now I'm back. I'm having a little bit of trouble sleeping so I decided to write. The picture above has nothing to do with what I have to say it's just so damn ignorant and flashy that I love it. No man should have that much money. Anyway, I will be back to the daily updates, I think. A song that I think everyone should give atleast one spin is "Sooner Than Later" by Drake. I hate the autotune but he does his thing on this song. Lyrics, beat, vibe, everything on this track is damn near perfect and I think almost everyone can relate to what he he has to say. So until next time, here it is:

I Woke Up Early On My Born Day I'm 20...



Today is my birthday and anyone who knows me knows that I am not a fan of birthdays. They are just a reminder of the fact that you're one more year closer to death. With that being said, God has blessed me with 20 years on this earth and I have come to the realization that NaS and AZ had it right when they said, "Life's a Bitch and then you die." I have always had a deep connection with the Illmatic album as a whole but the words to this song reverberate through my head on a daily basis. I just hope that the Lord will bless me with another 20 years and they will be just as enlightening. If you haven't heard the song please take a little time to listen to it, it could change your life, or it couldn't, but you'll never know if you don't listen.



Peace to Uncle Henry Simmons and peace on his family. You will be missed.

Shimmy Shimmy Ya!


My man ODB on the front of some potato chips. Who woulda thunk it? But really though? Rap Snacks? These guys can't be serious. How in the world do you justify putting the Young Bloodz on the front of your product? Like those lames are going to make me want to eat your damn chips. In the immortal words of NaS, "Neeeegro Please!" But if the thought of shitty hip hop artists on the front of your potato chips makes you hungry then you can buy some here.
Way to make the world even fatter by putting the kids' favorite musicians on the front of another artery clogging product. The website even has a soundtrack to go with it. "I need Dubs" by Master P starts blaring out the speakers when you enter the website. Jesus help me.

Excuse the foul language in this post but I'm too beside myself. Murs 4 President. Good Night.

Escobar Season Has Returned...


Nas Feat. P.Diddy - Hate Me Now
by Drunken-Li-Dragon

The greatest rapper of all time(yeah I said it) dropped one of the most controversial videos in hip-hop history. This is an appreciation post for that video. I still play this song from time to time and visualize the scenes from this video in my head. The flashiness displayed is so overwhelmingly unnecessary that I can't help but love it, and the QB chain he has on is a timeless classic. Check it out.

Justice - Planisphere


The song is so long they broke it up in to 4 parts. Its dope though. Check it out on their myspace.

Justice - Planisphere




Hooligans


One of my favorite movies of all time. The first time I saw it was about 3 years ago and I've been hooked ever since. I watched it with my roommates a few nights ago and they were shocked to see how bad hooliganism is. With that being said, just imagine if American sports fans were as passionate as European football fans. What if instead of Crips and Bloods, sports fans were fighting over their favorite teams? I love Liverpool with all my heart but I can't see myself dying over a club, but to each his own. I like the depiction of football hooliganism in "Green Street" a lot more than in "Football Factory" both are good movies but I think "Green Street" is better. It's a must see film.

Hate! Hate! Hate!

So I was reading one of my favorite blogs, The Smoking Section and I saw a link that read, "Idaho Sucks." I clicked on it and to my suprise someone really hates our football team. SMH. Here's the blog entry:





Following a 70-0 loss at Arizona, Idaho’s football team dropped the “I” logo that was on the seat of their pants. But that was the only uniform change that’s made sense in the nation’s leader in potatoes and white power militias: the university forced the cheerleading squad to abandon its awesome two-piece uniforms after only one game.

There were enough complaints from Vandal fans about the uniforms that the cheerleading squad abandoned the two-piece outfits…

Donned with more threads last weekend, a second set of uniforms - black shirts and shorts - were worn by the cheerleaders… Despite the less revealing attire; however, the all-black motif lacked panache.

Hell yes it lacked panache. Wait… what’s “panache” again? Is that a word for something that gives me a boner? Because if so I stand by my statement.

BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE

I clicked on another link and see this blog entry:

Is Idaho Football Too Sexy?


Oh, Idaho Vandals… you've broken the windowpanes of my tough exterior,
looted my heart, left a graffiti smile on my face, and started a riot in my very
soul. I'll never be the same.

http://withleather.uproxx.com/?p=5403

Check the comments, I SMH'd so hard I almost broke my neck. hahaha.

It's The Delivery Man


I'm not too fond of rap's newcomers these days but there's just something about the Cool Kids that make me support just about everything they put out. Their lyrics aren't the most complex but they're good enough to get some oohhs and awws from time to time and their beats knock. Here's their latest video "The Delivery Man" check it out.

Straight from http://thisisdj.blogspot.com/:

"This is part one of a two part series of episode 4. This episode is accompanied by special guest, Diana Nguyen and is about...well nothing. Specifically this one is dedicated to the ladies and part one is really just trying to get a better understanding on what girls think of everything...and about nothing."

Whats a Goon to a Goblin?


The Chemical Brothers - Midnight Madness
I just thought this video was funny for some reason. I think that's a Goblin running around. hahaha.

Love Lockdown


This is beyond whack. This can't be the final version because the chorus sounds turrible. The new cd is titled "808s and Heartbreaks" and from the first single I can tell I'm not going to like it. The word is that Kanye is singing on most if not all of the tracks on the album and he'll be using that played out autotune. Damn. SMH x 1000. But here it is.

ALMOST


This part came out almost three years ago and it's still amazes me. Chris Haslam is the truth if you didn't already know.

Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga


Spoon - Cherry Bomb

Spoon dropped one of the best albums of 2007. I dont think they get enough love so I'm sharing this song with you. This album is still in heavy rotation. 2007 was a good year. Justice, M.I.A. Feist, Against Me!, Spoon, Arctic Monkeys, Of Montreal, and a lot of other bands dropped great albums. If you don't know about the artists I just mentioned do yourself a favor...

All The Girls Standing in The Line For the Bathroom...


Everyone Nose(Remix)
Video has been out for a while but it's easily one of my favorites of 08. Just thought I'd share.

It's another Girl x ALIFE collab.

Even When The Sky Comes Fallin...


Anyone that knows knows me knows that I pretty much hate R&B. But I have to make an exception for this song. It's called "Sure Thing" by Miguel. This song goes tooo hard. check it out.

My name's Wah-lay dont say Wally


Wale!

If you haven't heard of Wale (pronounced Wah-lay) please do me a favor and pick up a mixtape. He's been out for a few years now and is signed to Interscope. Hopefully that works out, Wale isn't the typical mainstream rapper so it will be interesting to see what Jimmy Iovine does with him. He is also a poster on NikeTalk so I have to support him. All his mixtapes are for free download so if you have some time pick one and enjoy. But in the mean time here goes "Daytona Squared" and "W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E." off his mixtape, "100 Miles and Running."


Sidenote: Check the Tiffanys

Tell Him...


"See what we now know is nothing compares to the love that was shown when our lives were spared and tell him..."

One of my favorite songs of all time from one of my favorite artists of all time. If Lauryn Hill didn't go crazy she could've been one of the best MCs of all time when it was all said and done. Words can't describe how much I love this song and this album as a whole. I hope that Lauryn can one day return to her brilliant form that was shown on The Miseducation.

Here's the song if you haven't heard it. Listen to it. It will change your life.

"And I'll Be Coming Home..."


I'm sitting here listening to the original version of "Home" by Kanye West and it makes me realize how much I miss home. This song is one of my all time favorite Kanye tracks. This is back when he was the soulful Kanyw. I miss that. John Legend just brings something to the song that Chris Martin can't. I need to stop listening to this song, it's making me depressed. But if you haven't heard it give it a listen.

Warriors! Come Out And Play!


Easily one of my favorite movies. I watched it again last night and thought about what it would be like if gangs were really like that. The best gang without question is the Baseball Furies. Yeah they got their asses kicked by the Warriors, but the face paint, jerseys, and bats made them look dope as hell.

Oh yeah did anyone else wish Rembrandt got wasted instead of Cleon?

Kobe...The Doberman?



Thats right, the man that once called himself "the Black Mamba" is now calling himself "the Doberman." SMH. What's up with this guy giving himself nicknames? No doubt he's the best basketball player on the planet right now, but that doesn't excuse him from being such a corn ball. I don't know which nickname is worse.

Another Signing


Robbie Keane is now a Red. It's a good signing for us but as most people know I wanted Villa. Hopefully we can get Silva too, that looks like it's almost a done deal. With all of these pieces I think Liverpool has a good shot at winning the EPL.
