The third installment of day to day w/LUPE Fiasco is here for your reading enjoymeny. Inquiring Mind gets the big thumbs up for this idea/featuure.

I don’t care if ESPN has them ranked as #1 I still don’t care for the Spurs. I do, however, believe that they will be in at least the western conference finals.

The year was 1996

Digable Planets reunion tour? That is interesting, because I am not to sure about their success, after their second album (which was eh). I know King Britt has stayed busy the other two….

Beck is performing @ State Fairs now? That is the last place that I’d ever expect to hear about him performing, especially in Phoenix.

Juelz Santana Back Like Cooked Crack 3 (Fiend Out)

A perfect example of what long term planning and long money can get you. As much as its about tomorrow, its about next week, next month, and next year people.

2005 NBA Preview Index vs Joeys NBA Preview…Personally I think if the Heat can gel (which they won’t) they’ll really be the only threat to the Pacers in the East, and the Spurs in the West. I’d like to see Bron lead the Cavs to the second round of the playoffs and the Suns have a decent first half of the season w/o Amare.

ATTENTION!! Skaters with Visa Cards who haven’t gotten a chance to get to NY, LA or parts of the far east, get the rundown on the seminal skate boutique Supreme.

Eric Koston BOMBS AWAY!!

So I went to Homecoming this past weekend and have observed5 new things:

1. DO NOT sing “I’m Sprung” while you are in the shower after you get off the phone w/a female u just had an argument with while your boys are in the living room. Don’t ask how I know this.

2. Ladies, WEAR UNDERWEAR in the cold!! I understand the no panty lines thing, but DAMN I saw a girls dress that was so tight in 50 degree weather I could see the dimples on her ass thru the dress.

3. Juelz “The Whistle Song” is the current cut of the negro movement, AYE AYE AYE!!!!

4. There are still white guys out there who wear cornrows, WHY?

5. Even though I graduated from college just 2 years ago, I went back and felt like I knew no one there. It was all good though, got some kicks, got some recording done, free clothes (good lookin larry) and had a damn good time. Didn’t really make an observation there, just wanted to speak on that.

you and me, BAPE Ice Cream and B-B-C, just because we skate down the road, don’t mean we can’t slam phantom doors…

choose or lose

Homecoming was cool, recap later, lets go:

Tapemen…man mark is killing it right now. We gotta get something in the works for the rest of the year and beyond.

Tela - Sho Nuff

I’m sure you already know that Cam’ronn is down but not out after what went down in D.C. over the weekend. One word killa :insurance? Would’ve saved u the bullet wounnds and what not, but I am interested to hear the first rhyme that he mentions this incident in.

More commentary on the NBAs dress code including some interesting quotes from the man in charge, David Stern. As is always the case, Sir Charles speaks his mind as well.

This weekend it is all about the coming back to the overpriced school that has you in 20 years of debt to the institution you graduated (hopefully) from. Yes people many a black college are having Homecoming this weekend including HU, Howard, Morehouse, Spelman, Lincoln, etc. 2 words for 2 days: Lets go!

If I was a NBA bench warmer turned ESPN blogger I’d be ok with that. Not mad at all to be honest with you.

I haven’t really gotten into the japanese super exclusive brands yet, but these wiretaps x vans kicks are way fresh. I’m not mad that Up Against the Wall has Prps.

Big L Flamboyant (remix)

HYPEBEAST has the inside track/super scoop on the latest gear from the North Face Purple Label Hot sh!t i must say.

Are illegal, undocumented immigrants the good, bad, or the ugly of the american economy? I mean they do work hard and are forcing people to learn another languuage. However it can’t be a shining spot that illegals have almost as many rights as citizens. They either need to be given some classes to get their legality straight or get them out the country.

Nice writeup about Lupe Fiasco over @ Inquiring Mind.

I remember when I was in jr. high reading basketball recruting magazines, hoping to find my name in them, and they used to rant and rave about Jason Collier. Dude was a solid college player and decent pro, and you hate to hear him go out like that. R.I.P.

i got to get it, i’m so hot, terrific…

all on me

Girl Skateboards DVD Box Set is the first thing I want for X Mas people. Other items on the list will be added weekly from here on out.

E-40 interview via catchdubs The Fader.

The Walt Report

We recently passed 100,000 visitors for the site, so I’d like to thank err body stoppin by this here blog and checkin it, downloading links, and leavin comments.

you a slave to a page in my rhyme book…

fame

As far as up and coming producers are concerned Cookin Soul got it. Dudes are nice like that. Remember where u read it first (I think, I don’t read to many other blogs).

Ras Kass is talkin real greasy in this here interview, but hey I understand. If I would have been in jail for years and had no one really to vent to I’d do the same thing.

Pharrell featuring Gwen Stefani Can I Have It Like That (video)..thats my first time posting a rapidshare link so if i messed up, let me know.

The new Black Rob and Bun B albums are out now, but Lord knows I’m not posting them on this here blog. If you want em get @ me.

Few things on my mind:

Wheres Silas? Nevermind Silas and company return with a bang, or should I say a warning.

Right now is not the time of year to talk about what you havent done yet. Example, if its raining outside and u have that one uncle thats like “man i wish it wouldn’t rain all the time, or i’d be outside working out/running”. NEGRO, the damn summer just passed and there were 75+ days of heat and sunlight and u wait until one rainy week to complain about the rain?

As far as hip hop is concerned I find myself only listening to new music from kanye, pharrell and a few under the radar left coast groups (and thats mainly for their production style). Its to to listen to Young Jeezy or the Diplomats when not in the presence of crack..er hipsters occasionally but I’ve never moved coke and am to old to be fascinated with other dudes stories of moving it. I’m not gonna sit here and complain about hip hop, I’ma just plug my mixtape (if y’all want a copy holla dunnies it comes well recommended) and an upcoming one I am trying to finish by years end.

Is the HLTRNX board the friendliest, most focused crew out there? Either there are hella kids that want to be down or theres alot of DJs over ther who get it in.

Go back and listen/download a 3rd Bass album and try to front on their production. I’m trying to loop up breaks in their songs as you read this.

throw your triple beam up, this is fish scale, i balied out the county with counterfit bills

The Hundreds re-upped something vicious. Eric I’m sending you cheese ASAP!!

Amare is out for four months? Thats not a good look for a team that already lost Jow Johnson and Q Rich 9ok maybe rich wasn’t a super bad loss). Anyhow it seems like the Suns are going to have a rough go of it until All-Star break. Heres hoping Golden State does the damn thing this year,

Ain’t no love in the heart of the city….

Koston spits the real on everything from Nike, Element, and all things that deal with skateboarding and skate culture. A hella good read.

Who is crazier: the dog or the wildest interviewee ever? Leave the drugs alone people, for real.

The Low End Theory gives you the breakdown on NO I.D. and his highly slept on, super ill album. The rhymes were eh, but the beats were masterful. I’m am mad @ $33 for a copy now. Shoulda copped when it first dropped.

AllHipHop gives you a brand new and pretty candid Ras Kass interview. I would have tried to tell ya’ll to look for a certain quote, but eff that just read the whole damn thing.

KRS ONE - Outta Here

Tug-of-war is so serious now kids are killing their friends if things don’t go their way? I’m not letting my nephews or niece have any homies.

Jay Z feat. Sauce Money Wanted Dead or Alive 97

Magic Johnson Jr. is focused. If my dad earned 90 Starbucks I’d be ready to go as well, but would u want to be cool with just having that passed down to you, or would u also want to start something of your own?
