Real Recognize Real.

After watching this interview, I have even more of a respect for Cudi. The dude is real and he makes music that he believes in. He isn't directed by the "Champagne Poppin" artists out there who's music are strictly commercial driven.

TUESDAY'S TURNING BACK TIME VOL. 5

WEDNESDAY'S WAYBACK PLAYBACK VOL. 3 (I'M THE SCATMAN!)

lol staying on that club beat tip, here's a tribute to Scatman John (R.I.P btw)...on a lighter note I fucking love this song lol this guy was SICK haha, remember this one Jay ? =P

Work That

Japan's own Teriyaki Boys collaborate with Pharrell for this one. Their actually speaking English for the most part too.

Time after Time

NBA's new ad campaign is pretty creative and is hella funny. They use a mini tour bus to follow around the behind the scenes of all star players.

she was a go-go dancer

pretty catchy tune, kinda getting tired of Akon singing on ALL the songs nowadays though...whatever happened to nate dogg? joe, mario winans, ginuwine, maybe even kells could've worked for this song but anyway. this song will get your head bobbing so check it out.

some of that electric circus flow

alright so the other day I heard these tunes and I literally LOL-ed because I was just thinking back to the days when I was little we used to have this show called ELECTRIC CIRCUS, they'd go live to air from queen street (T-Dot baby!) and it was in a club type thing on the channel citytv. They played nuff club and house beats which back then I didn't really like but I'm loving that ish now...but anyways get nostalgic my people EC FOREVER! lol enjoy.

call it elephant kush

Jigga's tune is already tuff but this track is TUFF, I don't know I think both went equally hard on this one, but Crooked I sounded HUNGRY I like that aggressive flow my dude good looking out.

ain't he somethin?

this tune is sick man I could sit back chill and listen to hip hop like this all day, I like that guitar in the background too with the power cords and ish that's mad creative, anyways listen up.

don't sweat the technique!

this dude spits some ILL shit man, his flow is mad fluid and just overall DOPE. check out this hot track!

California dreaming

Damn it's pretty hard to NOT hear a good track from this dude lately, he's been on point in pretty much every track and I can't wait until his next album drops! FIRE!!!

Smooth Operator

Gentleman, stay smooth.

JESUS SHUTTLESWORTH

I haven't really done a movie recognition in a little bit. Another big movie I used to love when I was younger was He Got Game directed by Spike Lee. Basically, Ray Allen plays Jesus Shuttlesworth, an aspiring and promising baller from Coney Island. Denzel plays his father, who is incarcerated for accidentally murdering his wife. Watch the movie to understand the "accidentally" lol. The movie outlines the pressures of a rising professional athlete to super stardom. From girl troubles to the unwanted pressure of the media, everyday is a struggle. On a side note, y'all need to go out and check out Seven Pounds.

If I...

Another JT and T.I Collabo.

TUESDAY'S TURNING BACK TIME VOL. 4 (talk about good times)

couldn't find a fucking youtube vid of it...all of them had embedding disabled =@ but anyways. BIG FUCKING TUNE man this joint was the shit back in the day and STILL is...I dedicate this one to all my HERBologists out there ;) lmao and just like Ali G says "BIG UP YOSELF!" hahaha

Bounce Official Video.

This party anthem by MSTRKRFT and Nore finally has an official video. Clubs, Ex, Girls, Murder. All of the ingredients for a dope video. Check it out!

MSTRKRFT - Bounce feat. N.O.R.E & Isis

N.E.R.D - Sooner Or Later

Skateboard P, Chad and Shay come with this new video for the track Sooner or Later. An appearance from my dude Rob Dyrdek. Do Work Son.

This is my shit

Wale Feat. Daniel Merriweather (Prod. Mark Ronson) - Pot Of Gold

aNYthing.

One of many ill tracks by Mobb Deep.

Filibama.

This shit is just too funny for words. The Filipino Obama, and my dude looks exactly like Barack. Even though their totally different races, the resemblance is damn near impeccable.





A bonus for you...The Caucasian Kobe Bryant!

Charles Hamilton: Brooklyn Girls

Andy Milofuckinakis

Andy Milonakis is jokes and that dude.

Gifted...

N.A.S.A featuring Kanye West, Santogold and Lykke Li. Nuff said.

Da art of story tellin.

Payin homage to where my home is. Everybody has their own path, and it's songs like this that paved the way for me. I feel sorry for today's youth who have to resort to Soulja Boy for music.

I get on the TTC.

This is mad corny but deserves props for creativity. These dudes had some time on their hands and made this parody. Shout outs to all that "Ride The Rocket" and fuck the Scarborough Rapid Transit, that shit gets packed. I always just go to Kennedy lol. I've ran into all types of stuff on this shit, from seriously unclean people to insane people yelling in my face. I knew something was wrong when I walked into the train and everybody but this one dude was sitting on the opposite side.

Have you ever pulled a Pharrell?

You ever walk through the mall and get booked hardcore for staring a bit too hard. I'm not going to lie, I've been caught in the act before when some Victoria Secret model type girls walked by, but honestly, what is the most nonchalant way of "looking"? lol. I used to joke with my dude Glenny because I swear he was the LEAST nonchalant dude when window shopping. His replies were mostly "I don't give a fuck, I know she's interested" and so on. I think girls are more ashamed of getting caught staring because it's outside the norm. The ladies are probably just way more advanced in the art and never let a guy know they're looking. Sorry to say, but if I look over at you to check you out and you are already staring in my direction, it's obvious you were looking girl. One of my girls let me know that, in her opinion, if you turn you're head at less than 60 degrees, it's not making it that badly obvious you're looking, but if you're head is at 90 degrees, you're staring hard. Lastly, if you're head turns more than 90 degrees when looking back, you're straight up hounding.

EXTRA GOOOOOD

Can't wait for the MP3 CDQ of this song. Sounds crazy.

Can't Stop The Crooks.

I'm on my beanie tips real hard in this cold ass mothafuckin winter. If you're ballin, by all means, splurge and buy that Gucci beanie or Louis Vuitton Damier shit. For the average man, Crooks and Castles comes with some clean cut pieces to keep you're shit warm on those frigid days.

Super Boo.

That dude Cudi with another hype track. If you didn't listen to all of A Kid Named Cudi, you're sleeping right now and need to wake up.

TUESDAY'S TURNING BACK TIME VOL. 3

and oldie but a goodie, this is that GROWN FOLK MUSIC that really hits home. Now see kids being a 90's baby (best time to grow up imo) I took it upon myself to listen to a lot of the music from that time, and you know what? This was a time when music MEANT SOMETHING...not just beats, and synthesizers, etc. but anyways...just reminiscing a little here, if you don't already know this song do yourself a favour...crawl under a rock somewhere and die =). Enjoy (Y)

This is my art.

If you didn't know. I cut hair and barbering is a big part of my lifestyle. The elite barbers look at cutting as more of an art than a simple haircut. Toronto has a big amount of ill barbers out there. I just been cutting since I was young as more of a hobby.

Get Nostalgic Y'all.

"You don't need a Yellow Pages, just call me on the phone, I'll be your smooth operator, never have to spend the night alone"

y'all can ask escobar, all I need is one mic

damn you gotta APPRECIATE Cassidy's punchlines man lol they're mad clever and I pretty much chuckle whenever I hear them haha listen up!

game recognize game

here's a hot track from the game, I'm liking his new ish that's he putting out now still, he's a lot more lyrical from when he first started. It's good to actually see a hip-hop artist GROW AND DEVELOP into a better mc...not these fucking WACK soulja boy motherfuckers...anyways listen up because this is a joint to just bob your head and chill.

I jack, I rob, I sin...aww man I'm Jackie Robinson

HOT TRACK from none other than HOV himself, this track will on the soundtrack for the LONG OVERDUE movie on Notorious B.I.G....easy on the patwa there though jigga because me dun know seh you nah nuh island yute seen...still FIRE though check it out!

Technics

Mike Relm is an American DJ/turntablist from San Francisco. This shit is just amazing. Some serious video mashups. Check it out.





To Each His Own

I jizzed in my pants.

Funniest thing on Saturday Night Live in a while. I know you've seen dick in a box.




" You say i'm premature, I just call it Ecstasy "

Manila Guerrilla

Last night was a great night for all my Filipino people out there. The Manila Guerrilla went to work and totally outfoxed the Golden Boy. There was a lot of hype surrounding this fight and Pacman didn't disappoint. Oscar is a historic fighter and will go down as one of the best, but it was showed that he's getting up there and can't really keep up with the elite in speed and power. I want to see a Pacman vs Pretty Boy fight next, set it up.

Lykke Li

Alot of you know Drake just remade one of Lykke Li's songs called Little Bit giving it a bit more of an RnB vibe. As an artist, she's very talented and has her own genre of music. I was playing Fifa 09 and this is one of the tracks off the soundtrack. I have to admit that Fifa always has some of the sickest music collections. It's called I'm Good, I'm Gone.



To Each His Own.

Day N Nite (Crookers Remix)

CuDi's stays clowing.

Jessica Alba - Campari

True definition of MILF.

Autotune

It's good to see rappers like having fun. Not always shooting up clubs, threatening each others, selling drugs, having sex with 'em biches. B.O.B. is quiet talented with & without autotune.

WEDNESDAY'S WAYBACK PLAYBACK VOL. 2 (Story of my fucking life)

this song is and will always be a timeless CLASSIC that pretty much everyone can relate to at some point in their life. these lyrics hit so deep I'm pretty sure most people know this song by heart, I know I do.

Smitch Fired.

Sam Mitchell was fired today and it was announced around 5 pm. Mitchell was the winningest coach in the history of the Raptors franchise at 156-189 (.452) The decision was made after the Raptors were made a mockery of last night in Denver losing 132-93. The former Canadian coach and current Raptors assistant coach Jay Triano will serve as the interim head coach for the time being. Brian Colangelo means business and he's committed to taking the franchise to another level. I personally enjoyed Sam's time as a Raptor's coach and his bouts with the media were pretty amusing. I wish him the best and hopefully this will work out for the best for the Raptors. I'm just wondering why this couldn't have happened when Mike D'Antoni was still available.

To Each His Own.

Road To Till The Casket Drops.

Road To Till The Casket Drops

Little Penny. 1¢

Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway is one of the greatest ballers of all time in my mind. His days in Orlando with the Diesel were too sick. These Little Penny commercials bring back memories and are hilarious. Shoe heads, peep all the kicks too.











To Each His Own

He's On Fire!

As a child, I know alot of you must have remembered playing serious amounts of arcade style video games. One of my all time favourite games when I was a kid was NBA Jam and NBA Hangtime. Dopeness. I was just thinking back at it a couple days ago when I was playin the Super Nintendo, that some of the tracks on the games are ill haha.









To Each His Own.

Something Foul.

God's son is back with another instant classic. Every time this man touches the mic, it's inevitable. Even though we're all waiting for the next "Stillmatic", Nas remains legit and continues to impress.






I've been bumping the latest NS album pretty hard lately. Here's a soulful track off of it called Testify.

knowledge reigns supreme over nearly everyone

what else is there really to say? Once you saw KRS-one you should already know it's fire!

Super Mario 3.

Kanye, at the American Movie Awards, in what appears to be, a raccoon tail. I'm not the biggest retro kid fan and it was hard enough seeing dudes walk around with bandanas around their necks claiming it was "swag". Rodents is the new hot look. I'm gonna bust out my Raccoon Tail hat and see how many digits I get.



The only man in my opinion who can pull off this look other than Kanye is Mario himself...



...

NEW TELE

this is my new tele, the GORGEOUSLY STUNNING Samsung LN40A750 which is 40 inches of pure bliss. It has basically everything you would need for a good videogame/movie setup...4 HDMI, 2 Component, 1 Composite, 1 Optical (audio), 1 VGA & 1 DVI port...now for the GOOD stuff, 50,000:1 contrast ratio, 120Hz refresh rate, insane amount of customizable features for the white balance, hue, black levels, etc., entertainment video settings like movie, game, or sports and a whole wack of other ones I'll barely use. Aesthetics wise it looks amazing, the floating glass around the screen like the Sony Bravias are known for, and a slight line of red under the glass which is pretty cool. Either way this is a premium tele which is sold as high as 2399$ or more, I got it for 1699$ (2 gnotes after taxes...fucking taxes) but it was well worth it...just look at this thing...it's BEAUTIFUL...anyway enough ranting. This is my new tele...if the bitches don't like it...they're fucking skanks! lol...I know you all want one now =P

Wednesday's wayback playback vol.1?

sooo this is pretty much to cover my ass for yesterday....I've been MAD busy with work so if I ever miss a tuesday, I'll be posting this "wayback playback" the wednesday immediately after if possible. ANYWAY this is one of my all time favourtie tunes PERIOD. I figured I posted a few hip-hop tracks already, so I might as well hit you with my other love which is reggae. take a listen.

Enter The Dragon.

These new ads for the Nokia N-96 are sick. Bruce Lee is one of the greatest, ever.

Owe me

"Grams,Grands,Gucci, I'm G'd up" - Cameron Giles



Despite posting daily picks, this is my shit A.T.M.

Fuck what ya heard, Cam'Ron's that dude. Stay waiting for that new G.O.D.

Daily Picks

This will always be my shit. J. Dilla R.I.P. Crazy how I used to think that was actually him in the video, it was actually his brother. Damn.

It's a celebration bitches.

Just taking the time out to shout out my dude Parodi who's birthday was yesterday. Dudes, don't hate on him. Ladies, put my phone number down for one call and holla at him. I'm just fuckin wit ya, Peace.

Okay

so Yeezy's album wasn't that great in my opinion. But Yeezy's that guy who is an MC regardless. He master's the ceremony and he did that at the American Music Awards last night. Feel the 808's and his heartbreak.

Grubbin'

Grab your shovels and pitchforks. Boy it's time to eat. If you're from T.O. y'know what it is. 3.50 for a slice of Big Slice and it's clearly worth it. Especially when you're out late with your boys and your girl. Feel like eating? Big Slice, Holla.

that's not creepy at all...=|

okay chill mr. rogers

we don't say "rick roll'd" anymore lol

now we say you've been BARACK ROLL'D BITCH haha =P

wayback playback

alright so I've been going on a bit of an 80's craze lately, so here are a few of the best songs of that time, although I wasn't born in that time (90s music is better anyway...) the 80s had some classic tunes, so here's a bit of a tribute to some of my favourites.

Afro Samurai: Cartoon Cocaine

I'm in no way, shape, or form, a big fan of any Japanese anime or cartoon shit since I was a "likkle yute". Dragonball Z was the shit tho and you can you know what my dragon balls if you think not. If you havn't watched Afro Samurai, you definitely need to peep it. Samuel L Jackson as a samurai just is ill no matter how you slice it. The whole season is on DVD right now and I definitely copped. The soundtrack of the series was done by RZA of Wu Tang. If you like Samurai swords, karate, and mainly violence/ action, check this show out.

Killa Bees on Attack!

I would KILL to have one of these sick varsity Wu Wear bombers right now. A very hype piece of clothing indeed to commemorate one of my favourite groups of all time and greatest hip hop group of all time.






My dude JMac has two of these bad boys in MINT condition.

G.O.O.D Music, and we do this

Common Sense, with a new ill track produced by none other than the legendary J Dilla. J Dilla is hip hop, you already know. This one is called I've been pimpin. Chi town stand up. Common is just one of those bright artists in a depleted roster of rappers.



Nostalgia...



Common just unleashed his new website as well, it's quite exceptional. Check it HERE

TERRORISM

"did you hear that!?" "he said fart!" lmfao! RC is the best !!!

I definitely would've shot him too

another jokes skit from RC with the six flags guy...geez I hated those commercials =|

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

One of my favourite skits on RC lol I think that it being sideways makes it even more hilarious...on a side note I really couldn't find a version that had it right side up and with the original song, a lot of tools have made remixes and failed horribly...EPIC FAIL.

lmao...this little thing

hilarious intel commercial parody I saw a few days ago, WELL DONE whoever made this =P

That's gonna leave a mark.

There's something just irresistibly funny about stupid injuries. My dude had to be Ronaldinho with a cart wheel throw in and shit. All I have to say is, young man, you got knocked the f*** out. If that was my son, there would be a football brawl right there and then, word to my soccer hooligans out there.

Just a Little Bit

New leak from Drizzy himself via October's Very Own. This one is called Little Bit (remix) and it has a unique sound and is off of his latest mixtape So Far Gone. It features a remix of Lykke Li's original track Little Bit. She's an artist out of Sweden with a dope style. Check it out yourself.



"The pressures on. Both hearts beat like a metronome, both in sync like a Justin song...feels so right, but it's just so wrong. I wonder what my world bout, when niggas that I know try and take my girl out, and her friend's say I ain't the one to go for. She just jealous cause you always get approached more. Oh Well, tell her fall back, tell her call back, tell her to get a man that ain't cheatin on her ass with a girl I know, ye, tell her all that."

Girls I Do Adore.

Adriana Lima is a Brazilian supermodel best known for her work with Victoria "Don't Tell Nobody."

Soo...

So I illegally downloaded 808's & Heartbreaks and I could NOT listen to one full song besides "Paranoid". The idea was clever, but the content was sub-par. It'll probably catch onto me later on, but as for now...




By the way artwork made by Kaws, the graf artist.

To Each His Own

Alchemy at it's finest

another dope joint from the alchemist.

Return Of The Jedi...according to Ye

hot song I heard today, definitely worth a listen. He collaborates with GLC, another hype artist on his G.O.O.D music label. check it out.

TUESDAY'S TURNING BACK TIME VOL.2

A classic video, but an even more classic song. I could only find the edited version with the real video...but if you don't already know the lyrics to this song...YOUR ASS NEEDS A BEATING. WU-TANG FOREVER!!!

To Each His Own

Opinions is a species of property - I am always desirous of sharing - Charles Lamb

That's what we do.

Shaq Fu..

Don't mess with Shaq Fu...Period. T-Mac getting that grade 5 getting pushed into the sandbox type ish. Shaq just said, pick on someone you're own size...or bigger.



Another vid of Shaq going ballistic on Brad Miller. Dude didn't even do anything! haha It was all Oak.

IRON CLAW: The Legend Of CB4

Chris Bosh is oficially hilarious. If you havn't heard anything about him and his online comedically genius videos, he's challenging Baron Davis of the Los Angeles Clippers to a viral video showdown. Here's his first entry that had me rolling. Cabbie coming through with the cameo.



To Each His Own.

Street Lights

This is just so chill. Dopeness. Remember to pick up 808's and Heartbreak on Nov. 25
