Throwback: Gimme Some More



Today in class, I found myself just browsing youtube in search of old music videos. I'm a big Busta Rhymes fan, and I haven't seen this video in a while. After watching it again, all I could say was:

WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THIS FOOL!

what a fun video that probably was to make

Asher Roth: Seared Foie Gras W/ Quince & Cranberry Mixtape



Asher Roth is back with a new mixtape. Now to be completely honest, I have mixed feelings about the guy. Sometimes I like him and other days, I could care less about what he does, but today in my friends room his voice came over the speakers over this beat and I couldn't deny he goes in on this song, the rest of the mixtape is actually real good. Anyone who listened to his Greenhouse Effect Mixtape, I think this is arguably better. He goes in over tracks produced by Madlib, Just Blaze, 9th Wonder, J Dilla and more!

Absolut Jay Documentary




No matter how old this man gets, you have to love what he has done and given to music over the years. He's getting old, but i'd still see him live.

The video production and editting on this one is dope, well put together documentary.

Illadelph Halflife




Couldn't pull an all nighter studying, without taking a couple breaks and watching lost classics.

Duke University

Imagine, your thinking about what elective course your going to take for credit to graduate. Your taking an "elective"...something relatively light and interesting, an easy A. Imagine going to class, you walk there with your ipod in ears and you take a seat. Now imagine for the next hour, your professor doesn't just talk about formulas or world politics, but the whole lecture is about DJ Premier, Nas, and all you do is listen to classic hip-hop records such as Illmatic. Not only is that what class is about but your a blessed with the presence of 9th Wonder as a teacher. Who would ever imagine, that hip-hop would emerge from the streets, looked down upon by many, to being taught in a prestigious PRIVATE UNIVERSITY such as DUKE UNIVERSITY! This is just a glimpse into what that reality is like....




The video is kind of long and remind you this is still a CLASS. If every class was ran like this, it could be boring, it'd still be cool.

30 for 30: Reggie Miller



Espn just premiered there 30 for 30 Winning Time Reggie Miller vs. The Knicks documentary. If you have the slightest memory of the 90s, you can remember how great of a shooter Reggie Miller was. I remember playing old nintendo and playstation games just picking the Indian Pacers to play with, just to shoot jumpers with Reggie Miller. If you love sports, especially miss the excitement the NBA use to hold, look try to watch, download, buy this documentary. It's real cool to hangout. The retrospect and 90s NBA is tough. Check out there series.

Look how hype the NBA playoffs use to be...

¡BlaH!: Talk Abou Falling Off

Now this is some wild news! You ever listen to anyone back in the day, then all of a sudden they just fell off the scene...faded into the background smooth, and just never been in the news. This here is the perfect example of someone who just let go!

Remember this Guy:



Well he's landed into the news this week, and to my surprise, I see he's on Rick Ross status! This man let go! No homo, but we all remember the classic song, "How does it feel" and the video, this guy has now the freeway beard, rick ross gut, and charged with solicitation of prostitution...Dude looks like a retired football player or bummed out security guard! Just look at the pics

¡BlaH!: Modern Day Romance




Hanging out in the dorm today, a friend came threw and puts this youtube on. It's kind of funny, but I can't tell if the dude is serious...

Even if he isn't we all know we know someone who lives by this philosophy.
