Fat guys fighting

The fatties in this video went to my highschool. Funny, but also kinda sad. I'll be back soon with some real updates.

Word to the wise: stay sober!

The positive youth will always remain!

Rapper LIL WAYNE is set to become a father for the third time - model/actress LAUREN LONDON is allegedly pregnant with his child.

The Lollipop hitmaker, real name Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., welcomed his second baby, a son, in October 08 - and now he’s preparing for another addition to his brood, according to online gossips.

Rumours about London’s condition recently surfaced on the internet, and now reports suggest the pair are ready to go public with their happy news.

Congratulations Weezy! You knocked a woman up, be happy it's Miss London. (Take a look readers!)

Exclusive Audio Footage

Exclusive Audio Footage was meant to be the debut album of Clipse, after they signed with Elektra Records. The album's first and only single was "The Funeral". Due to poor promotion from the label, it failed to catch on in any meaningful way despite the substantial buzz it generated with fans, and was quickly deemed a commercial failure. Elektra then decided to indefinitely shelve the album. Clipse were released from their record contract not long afterward.

Exclusive Audio Footage also marks the beginning of the Clipse's recording partnership with The Neptunes. Dowload it here while waiting for Till The Casket Drops. Kinda like a big deal. http://rs345.rapidshare.com/files/86554445/Clipse-Exclusive_Audio_Footage.rar

If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it.

Check out the story behind Polo being a household brand in hiphop and ganglife in general.

The Lo Lifes were originally composed of two boostin' posse's from different sections in Brooklyn. There was the Crown Heights half who were originally known as "Ralphies Kids" (Ralph Lauren's Kids). That name was made by G-George who lived on St.Johns and Utica Ave, which was also where "Ralphies Kids" could be found. Then there was the Brownsville half who were originally called POLO U.S.A. (UNITED SHOPLIFTERS ASSOCIATION). That name being made up by Ski-Lo and Pumpkin (Rest In Peace). The Brownsville half were all mostly from the Marcus Garvey Village with others from Van Dyke Houses. "LO LIFES!"

Just stumbled onto this old RZL DZL vid. 2006 was a good year: justice kickin it, first european cold world tour and true colors getting on their grind. Only to name a few things.

Reminiscin... Can I cope?

23 is a sacred number.

Dropping in june: AIR JORDAN V DARK ARMY. I'm already saving up for these!

Trapped Under Ice, Born From Pain and Terror killed it yesterday in Achen! Cool venue too, world war II bunkers turned into music halls. Pretty sweet (except for the stairs). Copped a new TUI shirt. Pictures later!
TUI is putting out a new record on Reaper Records this year called "Secrets of the World". Get siked! New songs sound really heavy! Oh, I also saw them in Durbuy couple of weeks ago, if you want the story behind that check out "get down with the powered sound" on the right. Check out www.poweredrecords.com while you're at it!

No need for words overhere!

Treat you like the first lady, I put my Barack in ya

The Dream aka Radio Killa is known for banging Christina Milian, producing and his own material. His latest album effort was Love vs Money (I'd pick money). An average RNB record with a couple of bangers on it. I'd certainly wouldn't mind shaking my ass to the next remix featuring Fabolous, Luda, Juelz Santana and Rick Ross. Hopefully I can crank to this at HEAT this friday!

Texas is the reason the president is dead

Being a big fan of emobands such as there are Falling Forward, Jimmy Eat World or Samiam I was told to check out Texas Is The Reason (TITR). Lucky as I am I was able to trade a Poison The Well - You Come Before You agianst TITR - Do You Know Who You Are? (What up B!)

TITR is an emo band from NYC. The name "Texas Is the Reason" is lifted from a Misfits song, entitled "Bullet". It also makes reference to a conspiracy theory about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, in which the president was killed in a plot arranged by Texas Democrats in order to give Lyndon B. Johnson control of the White House.

As I don't believe in coincidence but only in logic, it didn't surprise me TITR was formed by Shelter guitarist Norm Arenas. Having listened to Shelter for almost an entire week in quite a while, it was kinda cool to me to discover TITR in the same week. If you don't know Shelter check out "Mantra" to begin with. Love that band! Ok, but back to emo. Next band I wanna check out in this genre is gonna be Renee Heartfelt and I also downloaded Somithing Corperate - Leaving through the window out of nostalgia. I loved this record when I was younger and it's still kinda cool to me, but I don't know if I would still like it if I discovered it today... Who knows?

Tomorrow I'm gonna watch Terror and Trapped Under Ice perform in Aachen, Germany! Get siked and peace out!

Ain't no such things as halfway crooks

I rocked this ILL Crooks & castles shirt to go see Ghostface at the AB, BXL this night. The shirt draws a lyric form Mobb Deep's Shook Ones Pt. II. I bought this shirt a while ago at a spot in Antwerp called the "Crackwhore"... Euhm, I mean "Crackhouse". Kinda stupid name for a shop but they got a fine selection of Crooks&castles shizz and some Jordans too. I also noticed some mixtapes and porn movies in the counter... Kinda weird... So if you need a new T and something new to lace up or you like porn you should check it out it's next to Nike SB stockist and skateshop "Lockwood" and a bit further down the street is the "Avenue" if you're more into runners. They also sell a slick share of shirts and gear: rockwell, diamond and alife are just few of the brands they have in stock. You can find all shops in the Korte/lange klarestraat in Antwerp. Here you have the websites for avenue and lockwood (couldn't find the one for the crackhouse, sorry).

Ghostface put on a good show, at least better than his fellow wu-tang member GZA a couple months earlier. Tony Starks and his Theodore Unit brought us an energetic mix of wu-tang classics, Ghost's solo shit and some tributes to other clan members and NYC hiphop legends like Biggie Smalls, Mobb Deep and Nasir Jones. Certainly worth my 22 euros although he lost me here and there. But hell it was a great night. Afterwards we went to snack at "Fritland" next to "De Beurs" for a mitraliette (aka good sandwich, filled with some veggies, a hamburger, french fries and a sauce of choice). Stief to the Positief hooked us up. Good shit!




Oh, to wrap things up, Mobb Deep is one of my favorite hiphop acts ever (The Infamous might be the best hiphop album ever), but more on them later on, for now y'all just have to settle with the hard-ass Mobb Deep picture above. Whatever? Party's over, tell the rest of the crew.

Peace out!

Why the world doesn't need Superman by Lois Lane

Earlier tonight I watched Superman Returns with my buddy Bram and as Brian Singer's great effort fluently passed along I came to remember David Carradine's (or in the movie Bill's) rant in Kill Bill Vol. 2 on comicbook mythology and actually it's quite genious so here you go:

"About two minutes, just long enough for me to finish my point. Now, a staple of the superhero mythology is, there's the superhero and there's the alter ego. Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker. When that character wakes up in the morning, he's Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man. And it is in that characteristic Superman stands alone. Superman didn't become Superman. Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red "S", that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears - the glasses, the business suit - that's the costume. That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent. He's weak... he's unsure of himself... he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race."

Oh, and Lois Lane is a superficial bitch. I mean she's in love with Superman but mocks Clark Kent. She goes on and on about this attraction between her and the Man of Steel, but unfortunately "this attraction" doesn't surpass the eye cause when Supes puts on his glasses her love dies. Maybe this is Jerry Siegel's critque on females haha.

Please give me a set of adamantium bones...

Went to see the new Wolverine movie at the day it premiered in Belgium. The opening scene is superb but the movie is average at best. OK, there are some top moments like Emma Frost's appearence and the pressence of our favourite cajun (next to Lil Wayne) Gambit. On the other hand they totally fucked up the "Merc with a mouth" aka Deadpool.

The coolest part of the movie ironically happens when the movie is done. Fox has been distributing different copies of Wolverine to theaters: so if the main ending is the same for all, there are actually more than one after-credits scene.

The first one is about Wolverine 2 (detailing on the Japanese story arc) and the second one is about the Deadpool spin-off. Excuse me the poor quality as of these are made with mobile phones.

never on schedule but always on time

Casio Calculator watch I got from ebay a while ago. Definitely a winner, but what else do you expect from a stylish m*therf*cker like me?

PUUR

If you're sick of Macky D's (like that's ever gonna happen), too poor to go to te Belga Queen or just keen on healty food for a fair price you should check out PUUR. They serve some good quiches with a great salad and some buns alongside it. Last time I went there I got myself the quiche "ZUIDERS". Basic good quiche with cheese, tomatoes and some oregano.

Check it out yourself:

Great record. Eye for an Eye is a band from Boston around in the early 90s. I recently got the CD thanks to my friend Bjorn. It also appeared on vinyl 12" and collects their two 7" 's, live recordings for a radio show and a hidden interview. Highly recommended to people who like Fahrenheit 451 and/or Burn.

5 things you might not know

1. Pharrell Williams is a big Star Trek fan as indicated by his consistent use of the Vulcan salute to signify his label name, Star Trak (get it Star Trak... Star Trek). He also enjoys the work of Carl Sagan.

2. Polar bears never eat penguins cause they live on different poles.

3. Bad Brains cancelled there show next Tuesday at Minnemeers, Gent. Rise is myfavorite Bad Brains record (sorry H.R.).

4. The most famous paraplegic telepath known to mankind is Charles Xavier, founder of the X-men and the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters.

5. Tonight I'm watching Superman Returns again. Superman Returns is directed by Brian Singer and stars Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor. Brian Singer also directed the first two X-men movies and the House M.D. series. Brian Singer didn't direct X-men: The Last Stand because of his work on Superman Returns. He also took Cyclops with him (hence the small role of Cyke in X3).
Brett Ratner did a good job on X3, altough the Phoenix is a space entity.

Every good day starts with a surprise!

I opened up a new pack of Kellogg's Chocos this afternoon (I woke up late). It contained a surprise and not just any surprise but a light sabre (known from the Star Wars franchise)!!!

A light sabre is the preferred weapon of choice of a Jedi Knight. Chocos are the second best cereal ever.

On a related note but still quite opposite, yesterday I went to see the new Star Trek movie, which ruled in my opinion! Directed by J.J. Abrams and with the dude that plays Sylar in heroes as Spock (siked!). The original Spock portrayed by Leonard Nimoy is also present in the movie as a time travelling older Spock from the future. I'm not going to spoil too much, just go see for yourself. It's pure genious how they created an alternate timeline due to the consequences of time travel (I love time travel stories), without harming the original history and background of the Star Trek universe. New and old fans will be satisfied! It's cool if you know some of the original Star Trek background, but it's not necessary to enjoy the movie by itself. I aslo saw the Wolverine pic a week ago, more on that later on true believers!

I'm on a boat like Leo

I'm on a Boat Feat. T-Pain



This is an extremely funny video by The Lonely Island and our well-known certified Lamborginist T-Pain. The Lonely Island is an American comedy group. They just released an album called "Incredibad" which next to T-Pain also features Jack Black, Nathalie Portman, Justin Timberlake and Julian Casablancas.

A love (for) supreme

Sorry if you're disappointed that this post ain't about John Coltrane but about Supreme caps.

I recently bought a new Supreme cap at A Cut Above at Oudaan 15, Antwerp. Just google it to check out their website. More on shopping in Antwerp very soon! Peace!

Marty! We have to go back! Back to the future!

If you have a clue about the finer things in life and know that the best movie ever made (not really), hit the big screen in '85, then you'll also know what a DeLorean is.

If you don't, then here you go: A DeLorean is a time travelling device which was created by Dr. Emmet Brown back in 1985. If you wanna know the full story about DeLoreans check out the Back To The Future Trilogy.
