soon to use more airbrush....
we shall see how this goes.

below:
on the subject of underrated mcs....
tragedy khadafi aka intelligent hoodlum
damn, the juice crew produced some killers.

finishing strong!

one of the most important things i learned this year
is finishing strong.
its really easy to go hard at the beginning of a run,
drawing session, year,
....or whatever.
its real easy to give up on goals dues to fatigue, distractions,
injuries, real life shit, ...or whatever.
one thing that can make up for all of that? just finish.
finish anything.
finish first,
finish last,
just finish.
and if you have swagger, style on em...
finish strong.

right now im in the middle of a '96 mindstate.
i remember giving up my '96 christmas holidays to draw.
im blasting tunes, trying out some fun stuff with markers,
and just drawing. (and running hard)
im pounding out this drawing and hope to start 2011
on number six. LETS GO!

currently listening to:
digable planets - reachin' LP (where im from is the jam!)
digable planets - blowout comb LP (may 4th the movement is my shit!!!)
ghostface killah - apollo kids LP
(new ghostface...so far its i-ight, track with black thought is dope)
kanye west - college dropout LP
(old kanye = classic, new kanye = meh)
too short - shorty the pimp LP
(too short is so underrated. in the trunk = bonkers)

below:
forget the other verses...skip to 2:32 RAEKWON BLEW SHIT UP!!!
too bad he cut it off because that verse was ridiculous.
the slang + the flow + the description was off the hook!
reminds me of classic rae. rainy dayz remix with classic ghostface!

(ric flair) woooooooooooooooo!

i finally decided to collect some pics laying around and post em....
im still a little bit ahead of the latest pic here,
but not that much further.
today i signed up for a 10k and a half in february so im gettin hype for that.
it has been slow on the drawing for the last couple of months...
but the itch is coming back.
i figure as soon as i sit down and draw,
ill be in the zone for a long time.
(hopefully finish this bitch off)

in a change in posting hip hop vids....
i loves me some street fighter.
in these 2 matches ive posted:
are some wicked commentators,
with crazy hype matches.
tinshi (the commentator) gets so hype on a mid tourney match.
not to many commentators actually talk about momentum and get this hype.
3:20 of the second vid is a crazy air parry (with cross up?).
also rockafeller (the commentator) is legend in sf third strike videos.

down but not out!

final results of the marathon:
dnf.
34k i cramped out and could not finish.
sad face.
i was bummed out and crippled for 2-3 days.

but its not over!
ive had time to be bummed out and figure out what happened.
but now its time to get back on the horse and come back harder!
training for the next marathon on may 11!
ill start officially in january,
but in the meantime, im going to try and finish 2 drawings,
do some strength training,
and really adjust to a newer running lifestyle.

in the meantime,
ill try to post about 6-10 pics of the drawing in progress.
ive got lots done since the last time...
im now trying to add krs-one, mc lyte, maybe audio 2 and the atlantic posse,
mc shan, big,....and some other east coast heavy hitters.

currelty listening to:
fabolous - there is no competition 2 lp/mixtape (u be killin em is NICE!!!)
big l - the big picture lp (r.i.p.)
rick ross - teflon don lp (bmf is the shit!!!!)

one year, 3 major goals with a shitload of minor goals.
10k, done.
half marathon, done.
full marahton, in progress.
drop 30 pounds by the marathon? right now at 25.

still goin on the drawing, im taking pics as i go along...

but its a pain in the ass to resize em and post.

so ill try to get em all in one gigantor post when im close to done.

but for now,

ill say im 75% done and im going towards the homestretch.

beats for the moment:
beatnuts - reign of the tec
this beat is sooo hype!
m.o.p. - downtown swinga 98
word up cobra! its prime time!
erick sermon - hittin switches
this beat is set in the middle of my running playlist to catch the second wind.
aaaand
redman - hardcore (originally off epmd business never personal)
damn this got me hype for the album.
and it did not disappoint.
so....whos looking forward to the next kanye, lil wayne or waka flocka album?
full albums are LAME now, look at em's last joint.

and right now,

i dont give 2 shits about new artists like:

waka flocka

wale

lil wayne

wiz khalifa

lupe fiasco

drake

soulja boy

im not grouping these artists for their skills.

i grouped them by (note: these artist obtain 1 or more of these qualities):

guest star gangbang on album,

internet hype but actually wack as fuck,

hyped by new hip hop community but does not stand up to golden era standards,

album has a couple gems, but overall, its WACK.

its more about coming up with a full album,

GOOD production,

and less than 2 guest stars on ya album.

hows about no gangbangs on anymore albums!!

(go look at the track listing for drake's last album wtf)

let the artist live!

on the photo tip!

had a week off, been on the photo tip.
