Elzhi x Childhood Champs
Eighty's Baby just hit me with the this video, that i saw posted somewhere but ignored it (cuz i was on my phone internet). Peep Elzhi's shirt. Elzhi is a MF beast on the mic! Slum Village!
My life is all have (c) Monch
I live in my own world. It is a dream world, and a world of dream (yes they are different). Simply put, again, I live in my own world (that’s why I can’t never stay focused on anything...I mean ANYTHING). I take in only what I want. Remember what I want, and Do what I want. I have no regard for other people. I know how most things will pan. I’m a realest, I have no time to look at the so-called “brighter side”, cuz shit don’t happen like that for me. I always get the stuff I don’t need, and a lil of what I need, but NEVER what I want. If I want something really bad, I might as well quit because that’s as far as it goes, a want. Living in my own world and having my dreams and keeping them to myself keeps me away from the judgment of others. I have the freedom to do whatever I want at anyone’s expense. It’s not always right, but who cares. It’s my life and I’ll live how I want. In MY world.

Support U-N-I
yes I looked away. Yes I'm tired. AND YES that's Thurzday of U-N-I. That's in line for that Road to the VMA's joint I attended with my cousin and happened to meet up with the Eighty's Baby fam. It started mega late but it was cool. We bounced after U-N-I performed cuz that's all I care about. The Game and Kat Von D were 2 of the three judge's. Kat had an absurd amount of make-up on so she didn't look as sexy as usual. The Game looked like someone just punted his dog off the bridge and had a crew of like 15 people (including 2 12-13 yr olds with BWS chains). and FYI UNI killed that shit. They only did 3 songs (KREAM, Beautiful Day, and Castlevania), but it was enough to turn my cousin into a fan.

Bravo!
BEST. MOVIE. EVER. Seriously. Heath Ledger's portrayal of The Joker was PERFECT! I cannot put into words how spot on and just absolutlely perfect he played the role. That is really The Joker. He absolutely stole the spotlight. It's very sad that he died after giving the performance of a lifetime. I think he surpassed the job Sir Anthony Hopkins did with Hannibal Lector. The overall movie was definitely more of the dark comic book Batman, which how its supposed to be (ahem..Mr Burton). The story line doesn't leave much to be desired. My only complaint is that Maggie Gyllenhaal isn't hot, but her acting did the role plenty justice. I was curious how they would do Harvey Dent, and again, perfect. Whether or not they do another one is irrelavent, this one can suffice for a life. Read HHDX's review of the movie, its awesome. here's a quote :
"Ledger’s creation of a villain who is so capable of being so vile and endearing at the same time is truly a masterpiece, and is performance few are likely to ever forget."
** i saw it twice. Do your self a favor and see it in IMAX (i did the first time). I will see it a 3rd time

Boom MF Bap
Fall in Love by Slum Village is probably my favorite track by the group and possibly my fav Jay Dee cut (POSSIBLY). In the re-pressed copy of Fantastic Vol 2 it was omitted because of sample clearance issues. Boy was I upset when I picked up a copy and it wasn't on it! ANYONE with a OG copy willing to sell? Anywho this joint always sets it off and makes me wanna go nuts despite the mellow tones. Too bad Baatin went crazy and became a coke sniffin, rock smokin, skitzo. He had plenty of promise displayed. long live T3 and RIP DILLA.
ps. i Hate dilla dick riders. even u wasnt down before why now? but still at least he finally gettin his just due in the mainstream. but we all knew before his death he was once in a lifetime god(ess) rest his soul

The Hip-Hop Hipster Label
So the new “in” label is to call the new artists with an old school vibe or dress with tight clothes or rock vintage ish is Hipster. I’m not fond of the label, but if it has to stick, oh well. I mean we had the whole TrapHop shit, and that worked out ok (not!). I mean the hipster label is wack but the artists who fall under are dope as fuck. The complaint also hasn’t been about the music, for the most part, it’s mostly about how they dress. In the homophobic world of Hip-Hop, isn’t it wild homo to worry why a ninja wanna wear skinny jeans. I mean you are the one peepin his male camel toe (no Haux Maux), all I’m worried about is if the music is hot. And some of these unfairly labeled “Hipsters” like The Cool Kids, U-N-I, Kidz in the Hall, PacDiv, Wale, ETC, are bringing hotness. So fuck what they wear. You could rock a tutu and do ballet moves, and still talk about stabbing brains with nose bones, but can’t wear skinny jeans and vintage shirts and rap about a good day. Fuck That! I know some people have a problem with someone born in 87 sayin they bringin 88 back, but why not. Just because they weren’t necessarily a product of the year doesn’t mean it wasn’t an influence and a nostalgia they wanna remember and pay homage to. For the sake of argument we can call all rap music Hip-Hop, it’s just not good Hip-Hop all the time.

So D/L it, look out for the video and try and get to they show at the Key Club on July 5. I unfortunately won't be there, but you should. They put on quite a show!
