It's really saddening to witness the police abuse their positions of power and know that the police are just at the bottom of the ladder. Imagine what the feds can do to you. SMDH. I caught this atrocious video today on worldstarhiphop and had to put it up due to the magnitude of civil rights that were violated. The police departments locally, regionally, nationally and internationally need to get their shit together because even if there are good cops out there, its the ones like in this video that got me and my peoples saying "FUCK THE POLICE."

Nuff Said.

SONG OF THE DAY

Heavy Rotation. Kanye is Taking this culture to a whole new place.

I was at the bar last night with a couple of the homies watching the NBA season opener. After seeing that the Boston C's are still in the mix to take it all the way back to the chip, I overheard this joint and was diggin' it from the jump.

Aloe is also a famed indie rapper from the west coast who has an extensive catalog pushing work with producer Exile under the name EMANON and many others. He sky rocketed to the homes of all HBO viewers worldwide with his "I Need A Dollar" track which was used and continues to be used in the intro of the show How To Make It In America.

Miles

SONG OF THE DAY

This past weekend one of my homies hooked it up for me and the main squeeze to slip un-noticably into the TLA on Saturday night to check out Mayer Hawthorne and the County. Some other bands were there too, but no disrespect I didn't peep who they were. I was there to see if homeboy was all hype or refined talent. And the show was off the the motherfucking chain!! Not only did dude and his band tear the roof off that bitch, it was probably the best band I have seen perform there. With Mayer's tour continuing to thrill audiences, I know this man is going down in history. Not bad for a white boy with soul huh?

Miles

SONG OF THE DAY

This one right here is coming from the west coast phenom Fashawn who was voted most artistic and creative in the XXL class of 2010. Check out his album with producer Exile entitled "Boy Meets World." and his mixtape "Ode to Illmatic" a joint comprised of all the beats on Nas's official debut finding Fashawn killin every track like it was 94' all over again. This dude has only GREATNESS in his future.

This Thursday night is no different as another party is about to jump off at the Walnut Room with the fantastic/flip records like gymnastics/homegrown very own Deejay Fever. Get familiar. This good brother has got the skills on the wheels. Come on Through!!!

THE PHOTOGRAPHER.

Yesterday I had the chance to get together with a man by the name of Samuel Eli. Sam is a BEAST when it comes to the camera and his ability to capture people, landscapes, and people. This is the type of cat to check out when you wanna just fall back and smoke a lil something while cruisin the web for some phenomenal photos or your looking to be inspired so get yo' shit together and holler at him!!!

SONG OF THE DAY

Last night I had the ultimate priviledge of stepping into the TLA in Philly on 4th and South to see a sold out concert. And when I mean concert I mean on some sold-the-fuck-out-type-shit with motherfuckers scalping tickets out front. Luckily your man got in.(Ahhh the joy of knowing people who always look out).
Headlining was Chiddy Bang with Donnis opening before who completely murdered his short 20 min. set. LIKE COMPLETELY. Chiddy Bang did their thing and held it down but the cake goes to Donnis who I became a solidified fan of since coppin up on Diary of an ATL Brave a about a year back. This dude is SERIOUS. Shout out to my homies Track, Phat Daddy, and Sanni for puttin me on the that new shit in Hip Hop that I can't even title yet, I just know is straight fire!!!

SONG OF THE DAY

I was at my homie's spot this past weekend and this joint dropped. It kinda caught me off guard, I think cuz I've been feeling like this emotion of rediscovery has hit me with certain 80's joints that I hear now. I don't know if I am looking at it from a Hip Hop stand point or just music in general. Regardless, this jointski right here is definitely official yahmean.

For All My 80's Babies,

SONG OF THE DAY

After a crazy weekend in the black apple, I came back to the hometown and had to make a pit stop over at my homie's bbq down at Roosevelt Park official dundee South Philly. Good peoples, and over course bad ass little kids with water balloon fights. To make a long story short, while everyone was playing baseball, I heard this jawn drop on the wheels, and was instantly taken back to the nastalgic moments as a young buck. Damn life is but a dream. Shoutouts to my pops for putting me on to good music, and a special shoutouts to to my man's son Siah. Happy Bornday youngworld. My life wouldn't be the same if I didn't meetchu.

VINYL TRIP

The album "Rhapsody In White" has to be one of the smoothest albums ever! Way before acts like Maxwell or D'angelo were doing their renditions of silky Rn'B Barry White was setting the bar! This 1973 release was produced and conducted solely by the immortal White himself. With Barry at the helm the Love Unlimited Orchestra's lush strings glide effortlessly across the timeless 70 grooves! The song "Baby Blues" an ode to panties is the must hear track of the album! White even developed the art concept (which is amazing)! Long live Barry White!

MEMORY LANE MONDAYS

About a week ago I was buildin with my homie Tola about music. After some good green and in depth politickin about the infinite search for good music, he put me on to this famed Cambodian singer of the 1960's by the name of Sinn Sisamouth. This cat was extra fly with his shit yo. I prolly grew up to his music and didn't even know it while listening to cassette decks around my parents as they chilled out on the summer nights. This is a rendition of this joint called "Sugar Sugar." This dude is GQ.

VINYL TRIP

The liner notes of John Coletrane's Infinity read: "To perceive again and this time it must be said,. for all who read to know that no matter what, it is all with god. . ." Such a spiritual statement is a perfect introduction to some of Coltrane's rich, swirling, and magical free-form music. Originally I was drawn to this lp (from my fathers collection) by it gorgeous cover art-work, but once I placed the needle to the plate I was overwhelmed by Coletrane's wandering saxophone over Alice Coletrane's lush string arrangements. I wouldn't recommend this album to a casual jazz listener, but This album's enchanting and deeply layered sound is truly amazing!
