This side of sunshine....

Roy Ayers is by far one of the most influential jazz/fusion/funk artists ever. Probably second to James Brown, he has been credited to many samples that are used in Hip-Hop and popular music. I bought this album last year and this is the 1st song of the record (A real masterpiece in my book). If you ever feel the need to explore and expand your musical tastes....this is a great start.

Weekend Movie Review pt.1

Iron man: (7/10) Saw this blockbuster on opening day and I forgot how much it really sucks to be late to a movie on its premier date. Sat all the way in the front but AMC tends to have mercy on those unfortunate late movie goers by giving us reclining comfy chairs. BACK TO THE MOVIE!: I was a bit over hyped by the movie and realizing that I have never even picked up an IM comic book, I really had no idea what to expect. I got what I expected but I felt that it needed a little more to get me over the edge. Robert Downey did a great job and whore of a love interest did a fantastic job too.

Enchanted: (4.5/10) Don't know what came over me to watch this kid's flick. But something told me that it was gonna be a worthy watch. WRONG! Its rather cheesy and corny amongst other foods that I'd throw at the screen for its exploitation of little girl's dreams and fantasies only to be broken early in their pre-pubescent lives. It was watchable at best and I probably wouldn't admit to watching it (with the exception of those reading this).

No Country for Old Men:(8/10) Talk about a great movie! It leaves you on the edge of your seat yearning to know what drastic and horrific end the next victim will endure. Javier Bardem brings that killer to life unlike no other mass murderer i've ever seen. The ending is something left to be desired but you be the judge. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

God Damn, that DJ made my day.....

I went to check out Feel Good Fusion on friday night. FGF is a free 18+ hip hop show they hold over at the Terrace every last friday. Much props to Seano and Denkym for putting on some good music. They know their hip hop...but the crowd is exactly what i'd expect out of an 18+...alot of 18 year olds. There were a few fights that broke out (completely unHIP-HOP).

But the highlight of the day if not the week...was meeting one of the most influential DJ that really changed MY LIFE when it came to hip hop and music in general. I was able to buy him a drink of Hennessey and coke to show my appreciation for all that he had done. We spoke for a couple minutes before he was grabbed by some groupie love.

To speak a a bit on him. He's part of the World Famous Wake Up show that is still on to this day. I spent many of my friday nights/saturday mornings in Junior high/High School staying up from 11pm-2am taping the shows. To me it was the only day of the week that I was able to listen to indepedent artists and music that influenced the genre itself.

What a blessing......

All up in mah mOUF!

Jan 08' Movie Review

Well i haven't done much around this blog...and you've probably got much to do anyways..if you're reading this..here are the movies of the month!

THERE WILL BE BLOOD - MUST SEE! - Great performance by Daniel-day Lewis...i always liked my left foot..and you should too!...Its a long movie but it keeps you on the edge of your seat. I was expecting for it to be a drawn out movie shoot in a single location but i was surprised on how well the story turned out.

Diving Bell and the Butterfly - Interesting - Again, another story i wasn't actually drawn to see but I was persistent to give this flick a chance. I have never see a movie shot completely in first-person. Definately gives you an insight on near death/ coma experiences.

Until the breakadawn

one of my fave all time Hip Hop tracks

FUCK OFF, PAYPAL!

This is some major bullshit. So I sold some shit on ebay...big freakin' whoop-dee-fuckin'-d00....i finally find a seller that will actually follow through with buying my shit....I find out that since the guy paid using paypal, I can't withdraw more than 100 bucks of MY FUCKIN' money i have in the account a MONTH. Yes, you can only make withdraws up to 100 bucks a month..[or depending on your account status]..

they make you upgrade your account..to some PIDA "PREMIUM" account in order to wire the money to your account. A couple work arounds is that you must apply for their debit card in order to have INSTANT access to your damn money or...buy more bullshit from one of their shops online.

TALK ABOUT A SICK RIPOFF.....
