I"M BACK

YATTA!!!!! 

FLCL: ~~~~FOOLY COOLY

I was attempting to watch "Samurai Champloo again... so I went to the youtube channel of Samuraikevin... (youtube is great for finding an entire series to watch) and pretty much his whole collection of S.C. has been disabled because of copyright laws.... BUT... he had a new series on there.. well.... new to me... It's called FOOLY COOLY....  it was produced by Gainax which is the same studio that produced Neon Genesis Evangelion... It's an OVA (original anime video) which are usually one shot specials or short series. So this show is only 6 episodes... not 26, or a million DBZ..... I watched 3 episodes of this and I really like it.... since I'm half way done I'm sad that it's going to end so soon... usually I have a few months or weeks to finish a show... It's about a young boy who lives a boring life in a Japanese city.  He hangs out with his older brother's ex girlfriend who is in high school.. he's only like 12.... his brother moved to America to play baseball... one day a GIRL (alien) or at least I think... so far... came and hit him with her moped.... then she starts living at his house as a made... since I was hit, weird things begin to happen...  Mechanical monsters and robots are coming out of horn shaped objects that protrude out of his head..  The first Robot that came out of him "Canty" ... is his friend and maid???... and lives with him too because of the crazy girl that's in his house ... so whenever a new robot foe comes out of the protagonist... Canty fights them... by swallowing the boy and then turning super strong.... I KNOW>>>> this sounds weird... it is..... its very confusing.... but it's very good animation... and I'm sure if i watch a few times, i'll get it... or maybe when I'm done with the last episode.... check it out... it's pretty cool..... 

New/Old discoveries part one: Madvillainy album

MF DOOM & MADLIB are MADVILLAIN = the MADVILLAINY album

As each year goes by and more horrible music is being played for the masses, I fall farther out of love with hip hop... But it's these times, that I start to look for some raw organic shit with no gimic.... something that has zero radio play, never went platinum, but an artist that can pack out a show every night in any state and is very slept on... That brought me to this 2004 released Madvillainy album.... The rhymes were raw, up front, nothing too fancy, no tricks... they were what they were... and the production by Madlib is by far some crazy GENIUS shit that I haven't really heard since I bought J-Dilla's rough draft...they beats are grimey, dirty, sounds like tape air in the mix, two track, scratched up vinyl, and thick bass heavy drums and bass lines...There are hardly any hooks on the album, most tracks are like a verse and a half..two minutes long... this is good....no GREAAAT MUSIC... you can't fake this kind of stuff... This album accomplishes what a lot of my favorite mainstream artists like Jay, Kanye, and whoever cannot achieve.  This music is extra extra personal... I've been listening to this recsord for just a few days and it affected me more than a lot of my old favorite music has.  It even influences me on how I want to approach making my own records from now on.  The track below is called "Fancy Clown", it's my favorite record right now, and possibly one of the best rap records I've ever heard in my life. In the background during the record, a phone conversation is going on...WHO DOES THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Madlib is about to be my new favorite producer JayDee rest in peace... try and listen to this song below and not snap your neck from the enjoyment!!!! 

Mos Def <3 MF Doom

I got this one off of okayplayer... Mos Def spittin MF Doom's verses in the studio.. Watching dope artists show love is so great.... and you can tell he listens to Doom A LOT.. cause he recites a lot of lines... It's pretty funny too... the track Rap Snitches that he's talking about is underneath the verse vid.... I love MOS ... I got some Doom Tracks too... his voice and the way he approaches tracks is crazy different... funny thing is.... people don't know that people like MF Doom and Mos Def have just as many fans or maybe more than any body you see on tv.. they have real connections with their fans because their music is 1. crazy dope 2. has substance 3. their live shows are always packed and very intimate, and 4. has things REAL people can relate to... That is the making of... GREATNESS .... enjoy these vids .... 

Tokyo

1 city... 3 Directors... TOKYO! I really want to see this film.. I'm only familiar with Michel Gondry's work, and not even the artsy stuff that made him famous, more so the urban stuff he worked on like, Dave Chappelle's Block Party, and Kanye West's "Heard em' Say" video (the one in Macy's) ... 

H..o..l..y.. SHIT

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! Mos def and Kweli are reuniting as BLACKSTAR.. They just announced a handful of tour dates coming up soon... This is the shit!!!!! maybe they'll finally do an album together since they'll be spending so much time together.

World Series: Japan vs USA (I'm half way through the game)

VS

Right now I'm watching the World Series... It's the Semi Finals... when I walked in the room, Japan was losing 2 to 1, and after a few innings, now the score is Japan up 6 to 2.. KILLING THESE MUTHA FUCKIN Hillbillies!!!!! Now, yes I'm American... but one... I love Japan, and two, it's time for these little Japanese to be the ones to Humble these big dumb MF's from thinking that they're the best at every damn thing... remember that dude who said all the crazy racist shit at that press conference when the world series started about the US starting baseball and none of these countries can beat them.... well, I'd like to see his face now... cross your fingers, I hope Japan whoops they're hot dog and cracker jack eating asses!!!!!!! EEKEYYYYYYYYY NIHONGO!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I'm Back...

I've been busy eating pizza and watching 30 Rock but I'm back in the swing of my blogging thing 

Q-tip in Japan...crazy!!

He came out just like this in the show that I seen him in.... watch how the crowd goes nuts when he turns around... wild!!! 

50 year anniversary for Kind Blue

Kind of Blue sold over 4 million copies to date, making it the highest selling Jazz album of all time... Ladies and gentlemen... this is "Thriller" numbers for this genre of music... It has been a mind blowing 5 decades since this album was released in 1959.  It is said that every musician that  was involved with this project went on to create their own "genius" material..."Cannonball Adderly, John Coltrane...etc..and they all became masters of their craft in their own right... this also goes for recording and mixing engineers involved in the project... *sidebar* with that being said, that is the pinnacle of what the word "classic" is suppose to represent... when everything involved becomes legendary... I'm ashamed to say i still don't own a copy of this album (note to self)... Musicians, and creative minds around the world still refer to this album as feeling "new", "refreshing", or "inspiring" ... Can you imagine doing that with only 5 to 6 tracks.... We shouldn't have been so joe about Illmatic's classic 9 records... Ahhhh. (sigh) I'm saddened because these kind of records are known as the best music in the world.... and now that all of these legends are gone, there will  be slim chances of any more "classic" material being made. Especially with this "CRAP" that's being made now that people are trying to call "MUSIC" listen to "So What"... and here what timeless music is suppose to sound like.... Peace Yah 

Willingboro is wil'in! this is a SUBURB!!!!!!!!!! (this happened last year)

Authorities have charged a 19-year-old township man with murder in connection with a fatal stabbing that occurred during a large fight last night between rival neighborhood groups in Willingboro.

Darnell Williams of Tallwood Lane in Willingboro is accused of stabbing 19-year-old Julian Corry Jr. of Buckeye Lane, also in Willingboro, during the fight outside Garfield East Elementary School on Evergreen Drive, said Joel Bewley, spokesman for the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office.

Two others involved in the fight were also stabbed, and a third person suffered a head injury, Bewley said. Their identities were not released, but Bewley said their injuries were not considered life-threatening.

The fight broke out at around 9:45 p.m. on the basketball court outside the school. Bewley said Williams was among a group of neighborhood people gathered at the court who were approached by a rival group from Buckingham Park. A fight broke out, and during the melee Williams stabbed Corry in the leg.

Authorities believe the fight broke up after several shots were fired from a car that drove by the basketball court. No one was hit.

TV vs INTERNET part ONE: 30 Rock ladies and gentlemen

If you know me personally you know that I think that the Wire is probably "THE GREATEST SHOW TO EVER BE SHOW ON TELEVISION...EVER"... second to the Cosby show, and the Simpsons is somewhere up there in that list....  (scroll down) 
 

Now...I've been a huge advocate of the internet and why it's been destroying tv so bad in the past years... but whenever tv does something great... I'll have to post what I found... NOW.... I've found another excellent show. 30 ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this show is the best!!... look I know it's been out for a while now and won numerous awards and all that chocolatey goodness.... but i was on "One of my favorite video sharing sites...that will remain nameless" and i watched one of the episodes of 30 rock just to check it out... and i loved everything about it... 

- Tina Faye is a genius for creating this show... and hilarious

- Tracey Morgan has always been one of my favorite comedians, all the way 

back to the Martin days 

- The cast is so well put together.... Alec  Baldwin is now one of my favorite actors because of this show 

- The show is realistic and the atmosphere is very inviting 

- I like the whole idea of it being the behind the scenes of a NBC show, and the show is an NBC show.....!! who came up with that!!!!!!! so creative.. 

- IT's SUPER FUNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! watch it!!!!! 

One of the best beats I have ever heard in my entire life........Nujabes is the shit!!!!!

Who knew that Samurai Champloo would introduce me to do this man and his incredible music... this is perfection... it evokes so much emotion.... I love this... and him being Japanese.. proves my theory that people who are creators or fans of hip hop outside of America embrace the "REAL SHIT"... REAL music... REAL instrumentation... boom bap... hip hop that "WE" all love... not this hybrid bullshit that's coming out today... this is real... you can tell he was influenced by Pete Rock, Large Professor, Preemo, and Jay-Dilla.... even if he doesn't know... he was influenced by them.... but i love how in most of his music he plays A LOT of original music over the samples..... A LOT of music.... this man is about to get a lot of money from me... cause I'm bout to start collecting his entire collection.  

K'naan and ENUFF!!! I love both of these guys!

it's funny that the best verse over this beat EVER!!! is a freestyle.. A "REAL" freestyle!!! 

this dude is nasty!!!!

Jay Electronica

Charles Hamilton

and K'naan!!!! this arsenal of M.C.'s is a crazy force that's going to storm this year!!!!!!

I still can't believe it.. this still feels like a dream...

Coincidence... I think not... it's time for things to go back to the natural order as it was intende... We are the people who create, innovate, intellectually, and physically run the world.... The future is here..... Happy birthday Martin Luther King Jr.... and Welcome the 44th President Barack Obama...... 40 years in the making..... no.... 500 years in the making..... history and the future finally meet...  it's a celebration...
