A great review of Get Familiar…if you guys don’t have it now, go cop. I talked to Chris Hall Saturday night and he said hes still into sneaks and all of that so keep your eyes peeled DC area.

Open House @ Girl Skateboards

With the advent of serato, ableton, etc it is easier for people to make disposable music or make music that sounds pefect w/o proper musical talent/knowledge. Essentially heads still need to pay dues in order to get ahead in this world whether it be DJing or production. Read varying opinions about all of that and make your own decision.

Graffiti Chocolate Bars….super dope look for the writer in all of us. (via the aNYthing GLOB)

If you didn’t get to go (like myself) read the wrap up of ASR…or at least one from a skaters perspective.

I swear I haven’t seen this commercial in hella. This was at a time when you truly thought a Nas and AZ album was going to happen. Now I’m not thinking it ever will….the good ‘ol days…

Rage Against the Machine is playing Coachella? Hopefully this is all the members of the band, not studio players living out there fantasies (On a sidenote, Cosmo and Dave Nada ended Taxlo last week w/Bulls on Parade and the place went ape sh-t).

J. Kidd:

R.I.P. Disco D…I never really heard any of dudes music, but anytime a person takes their own life you have to sit back and appreciate them for everything they did on this earth and appreciate your life a bit more.

Trey Songz - Wonder Woman

The Suns handled the Wizards quite easily Tuesday night. Whoever said anything about the Wizards being the “Suns of the East” was wrong with that observation.

Jim Jones x The Hundreds

Loon speaks on his beef w/Capo:

Darren Harper has basically blown up D.C. area skateboarding in the past 2 years (with Bobby Worrest) and has a feature article in the city paper that chronicles a day in his life, growing up in the hood (cliche as it sounds, I’m familir with where hes from and its BAD over there), and how skateboarding has to work.

Common - Remindin Me of Sef

New Lakai Tees….

A couple of good Soul Sides posts located here and here. Leave some feeback, thats one of the illest and most helpful sites (personally) out there.

Even though its barely been open a week, Commonwealth D.C. has been honored as one of the 27 Coolest stores in America. Such a great look for everyone involved.

Read about Ian being in a New York Times Article and watch the Ice Cream Vol. 1 DVD here. Big things playboy.

These shoes dropped in 1997. They were $185 at the time and are retailing for $216 this week. Yes I am buying two pair. Yes I have my priorities messed up.

It’s The Menagerie here, posting for the first time in years (almost 2).. with some good “brick temperture” alternatives sure to “melt the nightlife”.

Stairmaster your league pass game up right now. (well at least temporarily). AI-Melo part deux and Gilly vs The Suns part deux. (free trial til next Monday, everybody)..

The Winter X Games begin in a couple days. Here is this genre’s Rafer Alston.. got the underground (XGames) and the mainstream (Olympics) coinciding with each other quite lovely. Be on the lookout for him to attempt more 1080+ madness.

With no Juicy J present this year (or any other year for eternity), I don’t think I’ll be watching the Oscars as intently as I did last year.. but I did see Dreamgirls and Axel Foley did his thizzel.. I dont know about Norbit though..

Just in case you forgot.

WC and The Maad Circle - Curb Servin

Pictures from a (hipster) Soundclash in Brooklyn…

Levis is suing denim companies who can reproduce vintage Levis better than they can? Thats a b-tch move….step your game up Levis.

Redman - Lost Ones freestyle

Royce 5′9 - So Sick (of Your Song)

It snowed in Phoenix? Yea this global warming thing is way out of wack. I know some people still had flip flops on, but hopefully cats got to enjoy it. I don’t think its snowed in the Valley since ‘92.

Prodigy - New York Sh-t…this is ill…

Shout to the bol James for the stuio time and jokes. So yea here @ BTY we do the “real hip hop” thing. I’m gonna give you the in home studio view of where we get down and the final results….

it all starts with the Mic. Ripped straight from Cool Js arm…I don’t really spend to much time on this, but I got a cool 8 bars if anyone is desparate.

This is the area where James gets his button pusher on real sick…

Here is what I use to get my fake chop on. The pads are solid and its prepping me to drop my rent money this cheese on a mpc 2000.

Here is where I get my P Willy/Chad Hugo Boss on…

So our engineer/bass player/p.b./etc. is a super apple dude. Like he has a 30 inch monitor, Mac Pro w/4 hard drives, macbook pro, and a 500 dvds on his computer. This is the area that plays back our creations or deletes my sh-tty mixes…

And here is the payoff for all of our hard work (and gas money, and toll money, and burger king money)…This is a better than yours exclusive…Dupont Menage The Courage…man this continues what has been a great start to the new year musically….
