Wu-Tang KB's Pollen: The Swarm Part 3

Damn. I mean it dropped but I should have never doubted the Wu to begin with. This album, in it's entirety is straight fire. I mean this is awesome. The sounds are great, the lyrics and flows are there and they are on point. It's a fantastic effort by the Wu and the Killa Bees. Of course there are some tracks that stand out the most. I'm posting up the YouTube vids for it right now. I mean, for those who doubt whether real hip hop is back. The type of hip hop that has meaning, great production, and lyrical content. Look no further to one of the originators of the NY rap game. OH! and they are stepping their game up with merch as well so be on the lookout for Wu shirts, shoes, all that good stuff!

M.E.F.

Roll With Killer Bees

One of My Fav Gorillaz Song

Gorillaz is fake. Seriously they are a digital group. There is probably one real guy in there that sings, and the rest are just animated to characters. Nonetheless, this is still very cool to see. Specially in their new album which came out earlier this year. Plastic Beach is a great effort made to sound more pop than anything. It's has various people on the track, including Mos Def and Snoop Dogg. Though you think, "Damn, not this nigga again" it actually works pretty good and makes the album more well rounded instead of being detrimental. Check out Empire Ants featuring the lead singer from Little Dragon. It's slow to start but it doesn't disappoint.

Line Art by Anya Uribe

I've been following this artist on DeviantArt. She's very cool when it comes to making toons, they almost remind me of coloring books from when I was a kid. Thick strokes and lots of space to color in. Here's an example of what I mean:




Very awesome line work indeed. You can find out more about this artist by visiting their DeviantArt page at:

Have fun and enjoy!

Chip Tha Ripper - The Cleveland Show

1st introduced by Kid Cudi through various mixtapes, Chip the Ripper is prob the number 2 main dude in Cleveland doing it. He has dropped many mixtapes on the circuit and his current one is entitled The Cleveland Show (Logo taken from the actual family guy spin-off, The Cleveland Show). I personally liked the mixtape before it but this one has a couple of tracks that stand out of the crowd. His lyrical skills are still developing, sometimes is flow of words with the music is incredible, and at others it looks like he lacks on what he wanted to say. Overall a good mixtape, better than about 75 percent of the garbage out. Check it out you can probably get it from Slabup.com or Torrents.

Online Dating

Alright so this might be a long as post but whatever. I'm in the dating scene you know. One thing I always manage to find in a lot of these online dating websites, specially the free ones, there's always a handful of bitches (I don't mean women) to make you look like a douche. You say hey what's up, they say hi, you start to talk, then they block you. I mean I know I'm not the most handsomest looking dude on the planet but it seems to me like a lot of people that are dating online have their minds set on perfectionism. They have an ideal man in body, mind, and personality. So when you say one thing you get axed. I don't know, maybe it's just me. I'm not a picky person I mean thick or skinny, it doesn't matter as long as we got a connection... but it's hard to connect when you can't even dial up. (56k joke FAIL hahaha). Anyway here's a list of free dating sites I've found to be alright. I don't get too many hits but here and there. Imagine how women must feel with the amount of assholes out there looking for a f*ck! LMAO, enjoy!

Papoose Pap-Oose!

I was listening to 1.5 Million Dollar Man mixtape from Papoose so I decided to post this 2006 sleeperhit. What chu know bout this?!?! LMAO

BTW Happy Jackson Day

R.I.P. Michael Jackson

Some might love him, some might hate him, but we will definitely remember Michael Jackson as the King of Pop. Today we remember him, as his 1 year anniversary since his death in June 25th, 2009. Me, personally I have always enjoyed his music. Being an 80's child you sort of gotta pay respect to him for doing what he accomplished. Too bad the younger generations won't know shit in ten or 20 years. Whether making hit tracks or touching boys sacks. Do like Mike said and, "don't stop til you get enough!" Hahaha, man I'm gonna burn in hell

Ratatat - Wildcat

An oldie but goodie, here is the Brooklyn duo's song entitled "Wildcat". Quick fact, Ratatat actually never was a band. They we just two guys in an apartment who did some music on the side apart from their day jobs. One day a record scout went to their MySpace page and fell in love with the music so much so that they decided to make it official and then got signed. See, sometimes you could be holding talent that you never even knew was in you. You could be doing something unique in the eyes of others but it feels like a regular day at the office. Pretty insane if you ask me, but much love to them. Check them out and enjoy!

TRANCE WEDNESDAYS!

No, not really. Well it's not an "official" thing but hey. Some people like hip hop on wednesdays, I like trance on weds. LMAO who am I lying to, I listen to it admirably. Anyway, for those who are in the need to know, check out my boy Nathan Profitt. He's a DJ/Electro/Trance producers from around where I live (about 5 miles away!). His debut album is called Digital Existence and it's off the chain. He's also done a couple of mixtapes but hey, check him out:

Nathan's Myspace

Street Fighter Gaga

Check this out haha, pretty awesome right??? It's Lady Gaga as if she were a character in Street Fighter 4. This is one of the coolest things I've seen so far, very nicely done by an "unknown" artist. Hopefully he'll show up in DeviantArt or something. Image was found over at Kotaku if anyone wants to see it. Either that or you can click it and Save-As over from this image to the right. Enjoy!!

Justice D.A.N.C.E. Shirts

Ok so I'm a seeker of sorts for awesome mind blowing shirts. It can be as simple as a little graphic or something extremely elegant that shows as a masterpience on cotton. So while I was looking around YouTube like I usually do I discovered this one video by Justice for their DANCE remix. All the shirts used, while they are on there digitally, are pretty awesome. I think the video speaks for itself! Watch and enjoy peeps

Red Dead Redemption DarksydePhil Style

Alright well if you didn't know, DarksydePhil aka DSP is a known Street Fighter Tournament player from the East Coast. Though his forte is SF, he also does playthrough videos of games. Meaning he plays them from start to finish with hilarious commentary. I enjoy them, they're pretty hilarious. Well in this occasion after he beat RDR he decided he wanted to do all the achievements for them. With the help of his commentary sidekick, "John Rambo" here's DSP's take on the suicide achievement on RDR.

Lupe Fiasco

LASERS is coming soon! I can't wait, so far there will be there different albums LASERS being the first, then a second and a final one coming out after it (LupE.N.D). Lupe himself said it would be his last. Maybe he's fed up with the way the music industry is laid out...or maybe it's because it's the final album from his contract. Who knows, but expect more from Chicago's westsider Lupe Fiasco.

Check out the vector I made for him, hopefully he was able to use it. One thing I have to tell people as well. Don't be afraid to call up record companies in order to get your work out there. Even if it's something free you want to give. Use whatever you can to gain exposure. I'm not telling you to blackmail people now or find some dirt in order to get your stuff out but always try hard to get your music, videos, artwork whatever it might be, out there!

Trap or Die II - Young Jeezy

Check out the track "Grape" by Young Jeezy off his new mixtape and precursor to Thug Motivation 103, "Trap or Die II"

The whole mixtape is pretty nice. I usually don't listen to Down South music but Jeezy as well as some others have the exclusive exception. Enjoy!
