Boats and ho's

For those of you who didnt know there is a free water taxi into the city thanks to IKEA. the ikea is in red hook and easily located if you google it. there is also a free bus at court street to the ikea. I recently heard that you need a receipt to get on the boat, which is super easy to get around all you have to do is buy a 50 cent hot dog , and boom! But you should act fast cause i hear their gonna start charging.

Slap!


the sham wow/ slap chop guy just got arrested for "Slap chopping" the shit out of some hooker. Apparently he paid her 1,000$ then they went to his hotel room, they started making out and she bit into his tongue and wouldn't let go. So he beat the shit out of her.

Detroit Techno History

A lesson on what techno is, where it came from, who initiated the Third Wave, and some great tracks for listen. It also provides some background info on Derrick May, Juan Atkins, and Kevin Saunderson.

It's a little long but worth every second.

seqsjams pt.2

I don't give a fuck this song is the shit. His new album just dropped on the 7th. apparently it's not that great, but whatever. maxwell rivera b. may 23 1973, been around awhile and a pretty underrated r&b singer, in my opinion. check the Calder in the beginning, pure class.





So good.

El Capo.

Pitchfork has a documentary all about Jim Jones and his career from family to right now, poppin champagne and eatin byrd food. It's really good to have a major contributor of contemporary hip hop have his story told. I never quite understood where Diplomats came from and how they blew up so quickly, not on talent alone of course. Jim Jones has quite the story, apparently having been involved with Big L during his time with Children of the Corn, a group made of L, Camron, Mase, and Bloodshed. Growing up alongside Damon Dash, the two of the struck their claim in the hip hop industry and , aligning themselves with Jay-Z, RIck Ruben, and other hood rich zillionaires. I'm all about Jim Jones now, I always was, always. I like him better than Cam'ron to begin with, less flashy, sort of, better production. I don't know, I don't really know anything about hip hop nowadays except for what I like and what I don't like, mostly whatever I hear on the radio. I like Jim Jones and his crew, especially the Euro members of Byrd Gang, check that out too. Watch this, Jim Jones is pretty incredible, and very successful, and him and his friends smoke a ton of weed. Blunt rolling documentary more like it. The rest of the chpaters (all 11) can be viewed on Pitchfork's site.
