Puttin' Tha Game on Smash

Yep!!! That's what she did. I know you've probably seen this around the net, but this vid is so wild I had to simulcast this one on the sister blog Son of a George. Funny thing is I've actually seen something like this happen at Wal-Mart. While in the checkout line on a Saturday night (I know...my life is sad) this asian lady, who happen to be behind me, was verbally arguing with this mexican lady. Now, I don't know what the premise of the argument was or what they were arguing about, but all I heard next was "I got cha beech right here" and then BLAMO. She hauled off and floored the mexican lady. Great shot for the asian lady, but when she got hit with a left cross from another accquaintance of the mexican lady that was all she wrote for the asian lady. To make a long story short, the two ladies that threw punches were booked for assault by the Po Po and I ended up getting my Cheez-Its and Kool-Aid for the night. Anywho, heres the vid of the lady giving out face massages. Check out the reax by the kid getting fussed out and the lady after she got smashed. The funny thing though is the walk off. Priceless. Peace.

Boxers, Briefs, and House Shoes

Remember the in-ring killa know as "Iron" Mike Tyson? Remember how his opponents used to tremble in fear at the mere site of Mike? Thing about it is, when he started he had tremendous skills to avoid contact and land precise K.O. blows. He was so quick. If you weren't ready to guard your face, then when he hit you, your jaw had to be rewired, a bobo stain was left in your boxers, and you still were left trying to figure out "how he hit me like dat." His downfall is much like most boxers in the game. A lot of them come from environments where survival is the only skill taught. It's ashamed because of what he was able to accomplish in a short period of time, but know I have more money in my bank account than Tyson does. And that includes any overseas accounts he may have left. I ain't even rich yet. DAMN. Anyway, the video is a little raw. This is the only way I know how to make sure it's understood how raw he was. Hide the children before you play. He hit one fool so hard the fools leg gave out. DAMN!!! Enjoy!!!

You Stole It Sunday Vol.2

The year was 88'. Fades, big chains, and finga waves were in effect. Shoes with no socks, Aiddas, Troop, and LaConSportif jumpsuits were in. N.Y. was on top of the rap game. Doug E. Fresh is the name. It was 1985 when he and then partner Slick Rick rocked the world with "La Di Da Di." The two combined to give birth to one of the hottest club (party then) jams on vinyl. Pure brilliance. With Slick Rick spittin' and Doug E...well...spittin', it was a match made in heaven. Then both decided to test the solo waters as all the great combinations do. Doug E. Fresh got with the Get Fresh Crew and released "The Worlds Greatest Entertainer" in 1988. Now the album got lost in the shuffle and let me give you a few reasons why.
  1. Public Enemy - "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back"
  2. Eric B. and Rakim - "Follow the Leader"
  3. N.W.A. - "Straight Outta Compton"
  4. Slick Rick - "The Great Adventures of Slick Rick
  5. Stetsasonic - "In Full Gear"
  6. E.P.M.D. - "Strictly Business"
  7. Jungle Brothers - "Straight Out the Jungle"

With all these hip-hop classic albums released in the same year, including Doug E. Fresh's album, it's easy to see what happen. But in my opinion, "Keep Risin' To The Top is by far the symbolic song that makes me think of Doug E. Fresh as bonifide in the rap game.

Now before I go too far. Doug E. Fresh's greatest hit was a hit before he sampled it (well at least in Chicago, Keni's song peaked at no. 63 on the R&B charts in 1982). Does anybody remember the man on the far right? Well take a look everyone. That's Keni Burke!!! Yeah, I know your saying who the hell is that. Well in music history he's someone. As member of the teen group The Five Stairsteps he recorded the song "O-o-h Child" which became a huge hit in 1970. The group enjoyed major success for the next 5 years and then became erased by another relatively famous band The Jackson Five. But anyway as rap usually does it makes the irrelevant relevant and PRESTO... Keni's back again. Well at least for crate diggin' purposes. Anyway, let's kick it off with the songs and then I will present to you the video seen all around the world. I hope you enjoy.

Keni Burke - Keep Rising to the Top

Doug E. Fresh - Keep Risin' to the Top

And now...let's get some old skool video crackin' up in dis' joint!!!

I Remember When...

Cee-Lo Green!!!! Say what you want about the brother but he can SING has tale off. I've recently listened to a song from a forthcoming album titled "St. Elsewhere" by Gnarls Barkley . This is a unique project in which he breaks from the traditional "down south" soul funk. It is a bold endeavor, but I'm glad he is challenging himself as an artist. Anyway, the Gnarls Barkley Project is a collaboration between Cee-Lo and DJ Dangermouse. For those unfamiliar with DJ Dangermouse he is the man who put out the infamous "Grey Album" which featured Jay-Z's lyrics from the "Black Album" over sampled material from the Beatles. His album was met with swift resistance from a powerful music label and the "Grey Album" and anybody who downloaded it was squashed from the earth. But he moved on, collabed with MF Doom and now Cee-Lo and look what at what daddy brought home. I introduce to you:

Punks Jump Up 2 Get Beat Down

Man, people can say whatever they want to say about Bill Clinton, but the dude can turn any situation around. Take this situation for instance. In 1992, Dollar Bill is out on the campaign trail addressing a forum about condoms in public schools (kinda ironic). Anyway, while he's addressing the crowd, some dude starts heckling him. Peep the way the Rev. Bill Clinton handles the situation.


An they say he's cool and reserved all the time. Hmph!!!

They Used 2 Teach Em' ABC's Part.2

...now they shakin' in the shaker clubs shakin for the stars ~ Bun B 2006

You know I heavily debated whether or not to post this. Basically for the fear of objectifying women. But then I said wait a minute...if they decided to shake their booty for a camera and 400 people in a room then your objectifying yourself. Blame mom, dad, and YouTube.com. Anyway, one of the women shaking like she bout to die, the other girl (with jeans) don't know what she want to do. What gets me is the dude with the bottle water and the pringles can. What in the world. Holla.

It's A Brand New Dance...

...and it's sweeping the nation. You see people doing it when they are having a cardiac arrest. You see people doing it when they have to wait for a restroom to use at Afram-fest in Norfolk, Va. Heck, you may see people doing it when they win the lotto or cash a check that doesn't bounce even though they haven't cashed it in 10 days. Anyway I now introduce to you...The Crunchy Black dance.



Enough said.

They Used 2 Teach Em' ABC's...

What is America coming to. What the Fresh Hell.

You Stole It Sunday

KanyeezyJust want to say right off the bat, this isn't officially an MP3 post. However, every sunday it will be. "You Stole It Sunday" will officially point out the songs that were hits yesterday and made hits today. So lets start this post off with thief...uh...sampling artist number one...Kanye West.

Mr. West has learned what every other hot producer has learned over the years...SAMPLING COST LIKE A MUTHA. That 's right. The song you choose to sample has to be cleared (with the artist and the current holder of the master i.e. label, record company, or clearinghouse) and all the publishing and licensing fees have to be settled. It all could set you back anywhere between $50,000 (not realistic now) or $1,000,000. That's right $1,000,000. You'd be better off playing the lotto. But on the real a lot of producers have found ways around this. Way number one includes not using the sample song or sampled part, but rather having a band come in and play the sampled part. Look at it this way, it's just like "covering" a song. This way the only thing you have to do is just pay the publishing fees. Have you ever noticed in music some songs have been played numerous times, over, and over again, but the difference is in who plays or "covers" the song. This all started in rap when Dr. Dre first enlisted this tactic. It was cheaper to go that route and just use maybe a piece of a song. This kept the cost down and Dre was able to pump out funky fly ish like everyday. Enough with the lesson already. My man Kanyeezy, took my man Mayfield's song, sped up the tempo and now the Yeezy's touchin' the sky. My Man Mayfield I wonder what band he enlisted to play the song because to be honest Kanye's version of the song is quite nice in comparison to Mayfield's song. Anyway, I love both versions of the song and I though you would too. That's why I'm linking these up for 7 days or 25 D/Loads. Whichever happens first. Enjoy.


Curtis Mayfield - Move on Up

Kanye West - Touch the Sky
