sorry its been so long, expect changes

I've decided that seeing I looked at so many blog/websites daily, I'm gonna post the things I found interesting all on here. That includes music, videos, basketball, funny shit, and anything else I manage to stumble on.

I'm also gonna try and find a nicer looking layout. Anyone who knows any good customization sites, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

....and you thought you had handles

Former Project Playground member and current Harlem Globetrotter Kenny “The Blenda” Rodriguez was caught on tape recently in Maine by White Shadow who is working on a freestyle documentary. There are a lot of moves you’ll see in this that have never been revealed, much less imagined! Enjoy:

Nas - Be A "Ninja" Too

This video had a lot of hype, turned out real good if you ask me.

LAKERS 2008 NBA CHAMPIONS!!!

I won't act like this series will be easy, cause it won't, but just thought I hadn't given my Lakers for giving me a very special 21st birthday present by knocking off the Spurs last Friday. Here's a few videos to get you ready.

Sunday conversation with Kobe


Sasha Vujacic - "THE MACHINE"


Lakers vs Celtics - the only NBA Rivalry

Wale - "A Mixtape About Nothing"

I now feel bad that I didn't include Wale in my rant about fresh hiphop music. I first heard Wale put in down on a few tracks with the Roots, then copped the mixtape he released last year called 100 miles and runnin. I'm now a Wale believer! youtube and google him, you'll learn more than I can tell you.

Anyways, he just now dropped the "Mixtape about nothing", which is based around the hit show Seinfeld. The combination for anyone who knows me well will knows me well, has blown me away, as hiphop and seinfeld are easily 2 of my top 5 hobbies lol. Wale even convinced Seinfeld alum Julia Louis-Dreyfus to record a brief skit for the mixtape. So make sure you download it here

Anyway, here's a few videos he's featured in.

The Roots - "Rising Up" feat. Wale and Chrisette Michele. "Good rappers aren't eatin they're olsen twinnin", man thats dope!


Wale - W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E.


make sure to check him out!

Daytona - Finally something FRESH in Hiphop

When I eventually get around to doing my latest monthly music blog, you'll see that I've lost interest in a lot of new music lately. This dude Daytona has come across with a fresh sound, pun intended, putting out this new mixtape with freestyles/song over all the classic tribe beats called "A Tribe called Fresh". He comes across as a swagger happy type dude that's into real hiphop, whichi is a rare combo these days. Download the mixtape here.

He also features on the latest Juan Epstein podcast with Chipa Sounds & Peter Rosenberg talking ish with them over an hour about this and that, and is was also interviewed on the latest edition of Rosenberg's Hot 97 underground hiphop show.

Make sure to check out the video for "Lyrics to go 08" video feat. Joel Ortiz & Kardinal Offishall. DOPE!

...just more funny funny stuff

Live by the sword, die by the sword (make sure to look at the 50million related home shopping network bloopers, I had a good solid 30min sessions the other day)


The real Love in the Club video. WORD


....if they spoke english in this video, it would not be funny...


and just in case you've been hiding under a rock, the Bill O'Reilly dance remix

Food Witherspoon Interview

Cool interview with Food. Talks about his influences, the state of hiphop & his new album. Make sure you check him out at http://www.myspace.com/foodwitherspoone . I produced "shoulda coulda woulda" so make sure to check that out as well.

...I'm on my deep house shit, feel me

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm not the biggest house music fan in the world. That said, there are a few gems I've loved over the years, and I'm growing into more and more of a deep house fan. so here are a few picks that get me movin


Bob Marly vs Funkstar Deluxe - "Sun Is Shining"


ARMAND VAN HELDEN - "You don't know me"


Wamdue Project - "King Of My Castle"


Daft Punk - "Around the world"

some more music

Skyzoo - "The Necessary Evils"


Nas interview - says he wants to work with MF Doom on his new album!


Maino - Hi Hater

more later today

Kenny Smith Hyperdunks - Defensive Play Of The Year

I only just found this. I can't stop laughing

Great interview with Wale

He raises some very interesting points.

Charles Hamilton On Power 106

this dude is serious. he's only 20!

Kobe MVP 2007-08 Season

its about time. the league really isn't that consistent with their voting though. i mean, if the whole argument last year was that dirk was the best player on the best team, why didn't KG win it this year? Aside from Ray ray and the Truth, who else does that team have? Kobe's now on one of the most balanced teams in the NBA. Go figure

Kanye's in on the vocorder act too!

This is just the video with the song playing in the background. At first I was a bit concerned when i heard about this track, but the kanye verse makes it all ok. mind you, in a few months i won't be able to listen to this lol

Guess who biz-ack

Here's some new music i've been feelin:


Mickey Factz - The Flood


Kardinal Offishall - Dangerous (Feat. Akon) (DON'T HATE, YOU'LL BE SINGING ALONG TO THIS IS NO TIME AT ALL!)


Alicia Keys - Teenage Love Affair (Cool video, cool concept)
