I know this is supposed to be Menage Fridays but I’m tired from DJing and working, plus I passed out watching that bs Knicks game last night. They suck.

I’ll have pictures from the Commonwealth party and Napoleon party this Monday. Stay with us people we are ready for 2008.

The British Government is against fat people….excellent ideas there.

Herons got an impressive sneaker collection. Those blk/red 1s are so crispy, my goodness. Wheat His? Not a game.

3 Things

1. The new Freeway album is good. Cop that.
2. If my people don’t call me for Thanksgiving I will order either pizza or Chinese food, clean my apartment, and watch porn football all day.
3. Why is it called Black Friday? Why not anti-green Friday?

Out of townners - this Friday, come through the shop. 1781 Florida Ave NW.

Beautiful Decay Video Festival

Cool Kids - 88

My brother and I used to get busy on the streets of Mesa, AZ regarding graf. We had names, crews, piece books, the whole nine. Then we just stopped. Read about the new crop of DC writers who plan to paint the city with their style.

Has anybody read Blink by Malcolm Gladwell? I’ve read The Tipping Point a few times and enjoyed it so I’d like to know if Blink is a good read as well.

UP n UP gets Miami poppin. I might be there in December.

Sublime - What I Got

I heard Freeways album on the radio last night and its definitely dope. Like dudes voice and steez is just something I think is like no other in hip hop today. Plus he has an ear for beats. Anyhow check this song and thank me later. For real this is dope.

Cosmo Baker vs. Pete Rock…download this now people.

lets get this show on the road cristal on the rider…

Really dope Cosmo Baker interview about digging, DJing and the life of a music fiend. Excellent read.

A must read Stephon Marbury article [spotted over @ True Hoop]

Shop Gentei x Ghostface Killah

Dupont Menage - Its You

This is an oldie but definitely a great one. Dupont Menage with a heater and one of the first songs we ALL felt was a banger. Smooth sample, light drums, but they still knock - bassline with some funky licks in it. Please download this, enjoy it, and let us know.

yes yes f-cked your favorite pop princess

Commonwealth Party November 28th - DC - Bourbon - Im Spinning - HOLLER!!

Kid Paparazzi x Cinespace x Wale…

So these are pictures from a party full of “hipsters” here in DC….the only black guy is my man Stereo Faith. Shouts out to the dude with the y’all all bamas tattoo - he comes through Commonwealth all the time. This doesn’t seem as ill as an LAX/Cinespace or Rub/U name the club/partY in NYC party…

Peace to Denis & Co. over @ Mighty Healthy…I just got photoshop and illustrator…whats good with the collabo shirt? Matter of fact can we get some Dupont Menage shirts made by MH?

Re-edit Wednesdays or Old School R&B Wednesdays? I say old school R&B Wednesdays all day (go to Elis site and vote for them).

The Hundreds interviews Hellz Bellz. I’ve met Lanie before and she is hella hella cool. Hellz flies out of our shop as well, so its good to see her getting more shine.

Tomorrow is another edition of Menage Fridays. If I can find this OG Menage song I might drop it, but I want to wait until Certified Winner is about to drop before I unleash that one. Either way I got heat for y’all tomorrow.

This is Courtney. She is the best bartender in DC:

By now I’m sure you have read or heard that Kanye West mother passed away Sunday. I’m not going to copy and paste anything from the article because you can do that yourself. What I will say is pick up the phone and call your moms, regardless of the relationship you have with her. I speak to my mom at least 4 times a week, maybe more. She holds my brother and I down like you wouldn’t believe.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Kanye West, his family and friends as they go through this (cuz for real if it was me, I’d lose it).
