re-up because i’ve been getting a lot of e-mails about the fact that the DL link in this post is down. i don’t really care what genre of music you like. this song should appease you.
among the best songs i’ve heard all year. this guy, who could easily be mistaken for an extra in oliver twist, is actually one of the more creative electro / dance producers i’ve come across. his ear is phenomenal, as you’re about to see. PFOP put me on a few days ago, and i’ve never been so grateful.

wow. his new album, love to make music to, dropped not too long ago. i bought it on iTunes, that’s how much i support his music. hit his myspace and get familiar real quick. shout out to the dudes over @ blind i for being up on him, too.
oh, and there will definitely be a couple of people who DL the first track, and not the second. i guarantee by the end of the day, you’ll be back here DL’ing the second track, too. watch.

WOW. better press that “play” button.
the marty mcfly’s. the real joints, slim. actually, it’s just one shoe. but whatever. i just saw B2TF: II on TV like two days ago, too. supposedly they work with the power laces and everything, too.
what exactly are power laces?
OH BOY! originally called the SLAM BALL’s, and then the nike mag’s. read up on the history, gather up 2.5 G’s, and bid on these bad boys here. oh wait, the auction’s over. still, though. you coulda had them.
homeboy who is selling them is the designer, and i suspect he has come across hard times, because he woulda let these joints fly a minute ago. or maybe i’m just hating.
if you win, they come with a bunch of extras, like the original sketch of the shoe.
i know this isn’t a fashion blog or anything, but you know these things are crazy. if you want a close up of them in action from the movie, visit EF lifestyle and peep their logo.
my man vince (who gives a mean shape up @ his barber shop) put me on to these guys. i don’t know who they are, but the song is both ridiculously inappropriate and catchy as $#!t.
“boppas, boppas, boppas, boppas…“
good god. the big guy can rap a lil bit tho. but where did they find those little girls to dance for them?
if any of the regulars that hit this site receive an absurd amount of facebook messages from us we sincerely apologize. there were some technical difficulties with the message system and we kept trying to figure it out which means we kept sending messages. we’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you. blame mark zuckerberg tho, not us.
the reason we were sending these messages was because we are gearing up to begin the new season of dc to bc radio. modi and i will be in the studio next wednesday at 10pm bringing you all kind of heat on the air waves and on the web. please spread the word and jam us next week.
every once in a while, there’s a youtube clip that i just gotta give creators their props. and i think this one of them. my man’s cousin, tahir, and his homie made this "i know" spoof. and i actually really like it. tahir has the pharrell swag down to a science. HA! enjoy.
apparently, if you make $20,000 a year, that puts you in the richest 12% of the world. that’s the kind of inspiration i need to hear amongst graduation.
good grief. will someone give this little guy a break? he’s had to sell his gamecube, his pants, and his saturn sky on ebay. the worst part about each one of those pictures is that it’s clear how bad his situation is. ashy hands, frowns upon frowns, and for some reason, in that saturn picture, he’s holding his groin. not to mention the pair of pants he’s auctioning off look like he scooped them from a flea market. that was held in the rain. nothing’s going his way, man.
now he’s on divorce court trying to divorce from his wife. WHAT!? he has a wife, and they were recently wed!? i saw it in people magazine a while back, but i thought i was dreaming. oh boy.
after doing some google work, everything i wanted to say is in this complex mag blog. kudos to whoever compiled gary coleman at his finest. but i’m still letting you watch the divorce court joint here.
did i ever tell you guys that the guy above was my landlord?
ok, let me explain. if you’ve ever seen the best show on TV, the wire, you’d know that gbenga akinnagbe (silent “g” in the first name) portrays chris partlow, arguably the craziest, most intense character in the show.
he’s like me. kinda. he’s from montgomery county, maryland. he grew up about 15 minutes from my house. he’s also nigerian, as i found out when he called me after replying to his craigslist ad for subletting an apartment. he started speaking to me in yoruba, because he knew my family was from that part of nigeria just by reading my name in an e-mail. when he discovered i didn’t know what the blood he was saying, he laughed and we got down to business. a week later, i was furnishing his extra large 4-bedroom jumpoff.
like i said, i found his apartment on craigslist. it was listed in washington heights, home of the haze/dominicans/arroz con pollo on every corner. 163 and broadway, man.
he was definitely a nice guy, although every time he asked for the rent, i almost shat my pants. why, you ask?
that’s why. try not paying the rent to that guy. your body will be floating in the mississippi river.
OH NO! that is alfonso ribeiro, better known as carlton, from fresh prince. balleralert put me on.
while i’m no gossip site or anything, i hate to see my favorite celebs blow up like this. he used to be fit. in fact, did you know that before his role as carlton, alfonso was a world renowned breakdancer?
2 dope boyz strike again. i posted the OG version, now let’s hear wale rock the nike boots off this remix. corny, but i bet it just got me like 3 times the amount of hits via google. i’m just saying though. green lantern freaks a classic dre beat on this one. beyonce needs to watch the *^#& out!

three years in jail for smacking a woman over the head with a bottle of alcohol at the club. that’s also another reason i steer clear of those venues. click here for the story. how do you all think mariah feels? and isn’t this like a whole celebrity fit club season’s worth of working out down the drain?
she could rap, though. dug deep into the library for this joint.

quality youtube videos are lacking in the ‘08. so i had to bring this back to life. plus, ricardo said he needed it in his life…with commentary. so here you guys go.
4 and a half minutes broken down:
0:10: “ey dea. it’s me again. ya boy marv-o.” his swagger is incredible. he ever so slightly rocks from side to side.
0:26: the introduction of the peanut gallery. my favorite is “steven jackson, action jackson.” but do you all see marv-o’s arms up on his homie in the middle!? he’s just maxing and relaxing. but it is still ridiculous. so
0:33: “y’all already know the rules, so we ain’t gon’ waste no time on that.” that’s what marv-o just said, right? then he proceeds to tell us the rules. he can’t make up his mind!
0:59: eli is hyped. but he’s not even about to rap. but he still pumps both of his arms like he’s about to bless the beat. good grief.
do i even need to say how classic envy’s flow is?
1:10 and 1:14: this is where it gets intense. envy calls eli a cripple. TWICE! and eli’s cool with it!
1:37: envy’s haircut is similar to boosie. but just like 30 times worse. find him a barber, immediately.
2:03: marv-o’s boo (yea, the dude he felt up 26 seconds deep in the video) gives a ridiculous pose. like, a “check me out, check my swag, i’m the man” type joint. but it’s so weak, and the camera doesn’t cut away. so he just looks extra lame.
2:10: envy is confused as to how eli curses twice and is still able to rap. marv-o tells us that any cursing will get you disqualified instantly.
2:17: eli has realized his dilemma and promptly stops flowing. i don’t think i’ve seen anyone this nervous. the music even stops at 2:26, and eli has to think of something, quick. oh boy.
2:48: eli gets right back at it, with a series of “yeaa” noises like a gucci mane or a jeezy impression. i won’t even tell you how good each of his lines are, just listen to it.
3:36: eli curses again, and is so hyped. they end the competition right there, and put a heart-shape over eli. why? i don’t even know. good grief.
i swagger jacked this entirely from road to zion, and i’m reposting it for those anybody who gets upset at people voicing their opinion. in the words of kanye ta-da:
“even if they’re dissing me or i’m the butt of jokes, i respect people for giving their real opinion.”
so when you hear me say something reckless on this page, it’s no diss. i’m just voicing my opinion. not shitting on anybody. just trying to give people something other than what TV and radio forces you to be on. that’s why bloggers are the new dj. that’s what i heard, anyway.
wiz khalifa - star power. best trunk music. ever.
the native soul - an evolution. it's $ulaiman of blind i. rapping!
christian rich - the decay mixtape [think electrorock meets hip hop and dates it for a bit.]
the paxtons - members only. chi-town/dc-bred dudes. nice rhymes, crazy beats.
evidence - the layover mixtape. this joint is CRAZY.
crucial mix by PFOP's lo. love songs and such!
if coldplay and jay-z made a album, it'd sound like this.
GLC - i ain't even yet: the mixtape. kanye's G.O.O.D. music artist's latest offering.
dandiggity's eclecticuts vol. 2. assortment of eclectic cuts. obviously.
dj klever - flashback. CRUCIAL mix of 80's jams that you've probably never heard before.
g*two - one man army. newest talent out the DMV. he's nice.
