Black History Month..Better Late Then Never

For this week, since it was my turn, I didn't really have a particular rapper in mind that I wanted to write about. I could of picked your classic rapper like Nas, Tribe Called Quest, Black Moon, Biggie, Pac, Camp Lo, really any one. But if you don't know any of us from Blah Ze Blah, know that we are all old souls. Give me a turntable and a bin of Lps, you won't see me for days. So this week, in honor of one of my favorite producers, artist, musicians of all time:



Barry White

Barry White had one of the dopest, most unique and distinct sounds of his time. There is no denying that whenever Barry White was on a song, it was his own, he had those select strings, crisp drums, smooth beats. His sound, will forever be remembered. There aren't many artists out there where you can say by just listening to them that this is a "soo and soo's" song or "soo and soo" produced this.


His sound, reached out to hundreds if not thousands of producers in the Hip Hop world. Millions of songs from All About The Benjamin, to many Nas songs, to I Gotcha Open, and the endless other rap songs out have samples of Barry White. Even his other artist had such smooth and beautiful sounds, mainly to his production. Love Unlimited, Gloria Scott and Tom Brock, all have class albums in my mind. The man is undeniably a legend and that's why we honor Barry White! Thank you for all that you've done for music!

Black History Month

So as the post continues its my day to present to you a song for the notorious black history month. I thought about groups and solo artists that have impacted me in different ways and one group that stood out in my mind was Little Brother. If you haven't heard there music from top to bottom the production is untouchable. I mean it is 9th wonder what do you expect.







The track speaks itself


Peace!

Accessories: Buttons & Pins

In talking with Kreemo and looking at companies such as Dee and Ricky, it has inspired us to start designing some buttons. A button is a nice, subtle piece that compliments a piece such as a hat, jacket or bag. Similar to a patch, it can make something so plain, more unique and personal. Soon enough, BlahZEblah buttons will be in the works. Stay tuned for updates.

¡BlaH!: A Scenario That Seems All To Familiar

Watching this video, First off I couldn't help but laugh at Curren$y, it just doesn't get old. The face, the voice, just EW. Second of all, we all have been in a situation where you've been out drinking, having fun, and then one chick always has to come and start some havoc. That's just a situation that's all to familiar.
