snzzle!

some notes form the past couple of weeks:
saw epmd! (that show was the shit)
they played all of the hits!
'plug one, plug two, plug three, potholes in ya chest LETS GO!!!'




im now over 4000bp
and over 300 matches online
as cammy in super street fighter iv.
its pretty weaksauce score,
but ill slowly climb the ladder.

on some other shit,
im back into my vinyl and scratchin again.
im finding some hot joints i forgot i bought
when i first came to vancouver.

chef and triple six!

recently added raekwon the chef and three six mafia.
ive been listening to only built for cuban linx 1 + 2
and funny three six mafia tracks.
i said 'beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiitttttch!'
STRAIGHT COMEDY.
three six mafia, ganksta nip, too short
has always fallen into the 'guilty pleasures' category
in my hip hop catalog.
so much shit talk and ho throwdowns....lol
cant get enough of that stuff.
the main reason i love hip hop over any
other music genre is it can attack ANY subject,
and get to the point.
whether its 'move bitch get out the way!' (ludacris)
or 'the ghetto' (eric b + rakim)
'whats up fat lip' (fat lip)...
man i love this.



on some other ish:
de la soul - keepin the faith
(i never heard this mix, but i like it!)
de la soul feat. redman - oooh

wit the furs!

damn...
im watching funny booty bass vids
and wrestling vids?
what a weird combo.
ive been watching old 80s wrestling matches.
macho man was the shit.
ric flair was the shit.
love all those old fun talks up before matches.
(word to the ultimate warrior, hogan, piper and bobby heenan)

currently listening to:
dj evil dee - beatminerz radio (c'mon kick it!)

three six mafia has always repped hard as fuck.

cee oh, double em oh, to the en!

im way past this on the drawing right now.

gotta post more often damn.
listening to a bunch of miami joints lately.
lots of 'big booty hoes', 'shake that ass bitch' (google/youtube it)
2 live crew, poison clan...classic hilarious stuff

on some other ish:
since guru passed i thought i would
spotlight more emcees/dee jays that
should get thier shine BEFORE they pass.
ill try to find some off beat dudes,
that dont necessarily come off the top of the head.

first up chi-town.
before kanye, there's this producer/rapper
no i.d. (who mentored kanye)
he produced for common with some ill shit.
first vid is
common featuring no i.d. - check the method
id also like to big up common.
common featuring bilal - 6th sense (produced by dj premier)
'this is rap for real... something you feel'
(even though i recently posted some common, fuckit heres more)

favorite common joints:
bitch in yoo (ice cube diss)
i used to love h.e.r.
ressurection
be
the food
soul by the pound
retrospect of life


and heres some other shit found via twitter....
i thought it fits the current subject on my drawing...WORD

a moment of silence.

i found out today that one
of my favorite rappers had passed.

rest in peace
gifted unlimited rhymes universal
aka
guru
aka
keith elam.

that was my high school/college jams.
my favorite guru tracks
dwyck (i wreck the mic like a pimp pimps hoes)
take it personal (never the less cleverness cant impress)
so wassup?! (tear that bitchass up... so wassup!)
the ? remains (i remember hearing that for the first time in japan,

its my japan trip anthem)
b.y.s. (to all you phony ass rappers imma bust your shit)
ex to the next girl (must i stop? naw, i think not)
(check the rep when i speak...) check the technique
(im here with the skillz you missed) you know my steez
man... i could go on and just list the gangstarr catalog.

definitely a top tier emcee
that shaped my musical tastes back in the day.
proud that he was a part of the golden era of rap
which will not be touched.
i repeat posts with gangstarr shit...
but its so ridiculously hot!

peace out guru

ill leave with
gangstarr - in memory of....
gangstarr featuring lil dap + jeru the damaja - i'm the man

'ill kick your can
from here to japan
with force you cant withstand
cause im the muthafuckin' man!'

5000

by myself!

drawing moving along slowly.
ive been inspired to work on it,
but ive been holding back from going wild on it.
im going against what i normally do and freestyle it.
time to style on it, level up the game
and breathe easy.

ran 15k on sunday!
after that it was a wrap.
or at least it should have been.
i walked around for 2-3 hours,
then finally sat down
and the feet were in a world of hurt.
good thing this is a lighter week in running woot!

got a ticket to epmd!!!!
cant wait to see em again!
heres 2 harder to find joints
epmd - give the people (jeep/ pete rock mix)
(i never heard this version til this week)
epmd - brothers from l.i. (b-side to crossover)



listening to:
murs + 9th wonder - fornever lp (hotness)
cam'ron + dj drama + vado - boss of all bosses 2
little brother - leftback lp
alicia keys - the element of freedom lp

the new little brother is HOT!
'even when im by myself'

9th wonder/khrysis is killin' it on all fronts!
its like where kanye should have gone,
but turned to the darkside (with autotune wackness).

themezo!

my theme for the next drawing is:
hip hop

i grew up on the stuff,
and still learn about hidden 80s/90s groups all the time.
(which makes me love it even more)
i live it all day everyday.
i thought about how to attack this drawing ALOT.
and decided that this is what it means to me,
everyone else can fuck off lol.
ive already made some contraversial decisions,
so we will see in the end how it all plays out.
but in the end, its just another drawing
with a little bit more focus.
hopefully within 3 drawings i can see 20/20.

listening to:
jay-z - the blueprint 3 lp
n.o.r.e. - the iron liver lp
n.a.s.a - the spirit of apollo lp
cool kids - the bake sale ep
capone n noreaga - the war report lp
krs-one - return of the boom bap lp

return of the boom bap IS the shit and will always be top tier.

"back in the day i knew rap would never die"
here's krs-one with my personal favorite track outta here:
'hip-hop vs. rap w/outta here' live on yo! mtv raps
and another version:
'the mc w/outta here' live (word to grandgood)
