Yo, i have been busy for a minute and been overseas, so this thing hasn't been updated for a while. i want to keep this going for my self.

what are you listening to?



Common - The Corner

Nas - Hero ft Keri Hilson

Nas is back. bring on the haters.

I haven't been updating the blog as frequent as i should. I want to keep the 4 people who vist it coming back and not have them forget about it because its just another blog that never gets updated.


So im heading to Europe in 17days and im looking forward to it. Going to spend most of my time in Cyprus, so this first 25euros will be strictly for souvlaki and donkey rides.


Thank god The Dark Knight opens 2 days before i leave and i can go and see it. I loved Batman Begins, the story line followed events from actual comics which made a reader of them very happy. Anyway unless you have been living under a rock you know the sequal The Dark Knight is on the worlds door step and the first test screening reviews have hit the net. So have a read, spoiler free....

"The Dark Knight is The Empire Strikes Back of comic book movies. It is dark, bleak, and realistic. Kids looking for a fun superhero movie need to look elsewhere. This is a multi-layered, authentic crime tale. There is more than one casualty, and it doesn’t exactly end on a high note. Fans will eat the ending up. After sitting in the theater for two and a half hours, it will leave you wanting more."

/Film Round Up


The Wackness. I have been getting really excited about seeing this film. It is set around New York in 94, aka the golden era of hip hop. The film has the great emcee who dose a bit of acting these days, Method Man. Anyway check this great interview where he chats about the movie and jumps a few topics.


check the trailer for this film a few posts below.

Wezzy Update. 1,005,545 sold

In its first week on the market, "Tha Carter III" (Cash Money/Universal) sells just over 1 million units. The last album to top that milestone was 50 Cent's "The Massacre" in March 2005.

No album in 2006 sold as many as 800,000 copies in a single frame, and the largest sales week since "The Massacre" belonged to Kanye West's "Graduation," which nettedanopener of 957,000 copies last year when it hit stores on Sept. 11.

Lil Wayne first appeared on The Billboard 200 in 1999. His previous biggest sales week was a 238,000-unit start for "Tha Carter II" in 2005. That set entered The Billboard 200 at No. 2 while becoming his fourth No. 1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

Damm, Wezz still moving those kind of units in the age of the internet.

Kings of the coke flow Clipse, drop a new joint from the upcoming Re-Up Gang album. Malice & Pusha T punish the Scott Storch Beat.
Clipse - Fast Life

Also Nas Styles on this DJ Khaled production. Nas - I’m On

New pickup/2nd for the year.


Lil Wayne highly anticipated album Carter 3 dropped last week and it looks like its going to do some massive numbers sales wise.

According to the Nielsen SoundScan's Building Charts, Tha Carter 3, which was released last Tuesday (June 10th) was set to reach it's million-copies-sold peak by last evening, which is when Soundscan closes its trackings. On it's first day alone, Tha Carter 3's sales stood at 423,00 copies sold, and as of June 13th, the album has sold roughly 630,000 copies.

This is huge in this day and age for sales, but i guess guest appearing on just about every track/remix in the last year or so is bound to pay off. Not to mention his single "Lolipop" still sits at number one on the singles charts.

The Wackness. I have been watching this non stop for the last 4 days, looks like the movie of '08 for me.


i have some more to blog. Been too busy this week and now too tired from work, but i had to post this.

what did you wear today.


I have been locked up in the house for about week and with nothing to do but surf and watch movies. So i been going through some of my Spike Lee film's.


I really like Spike's films, there is always something to take away or think about when the movie has finished. His political and racial themes are the center of alot his work. Some people might just think that his a angry little man but he writes what he knows and he dose it well. I enjoy the familiar setting of Brooklyn, New York as the major theme in all his work. The dude also knows how to get is characters into relationship nightmares too, but they work out. Check his stuff especially his earlier work, for me you can't go past Do The Right Thing.

"Your lucky im a righteous black man".

This weeks Youtubes.

Kevin Smith's 8th film "Zak and Miri Make A Porno" is in its post production stage and a teaser trailer has been cut. The trailer contains the movies leads, Seth Rogan and Elizabeth Banks. I have enjoyed Seth Rogan since i first discover Freaks & Geeks years back and i aslo thought that Knocked Up was the best film of 07. Movie out October 31th.

Rza(wu-tang} a.k.a Bobby Digital drops first video/single "You cant stop me now" off his upcoming album Digi Snack's.

Now for some 90's classic jams.

The GZA performing “4th Chamber” and “Shadowboxing” live.
Nas throwing down some Illmatic with "NY State Of Mind" live.

what did you wear today. wet-weather beaters.


Sunday was Dennis's dad surprise 50th. He was very surprised, didnt have a clue. Was a great night with plenty of good people, drinks and food. Got to love wog partys. This was a taste of what i can expect when me, Dennis & parents hit Cyprus for 2months in July, cant wait.

Two artists that im very much waiting on to drop albums have a win and a loss this week.


Loss. Nas's attempt to successfully name his 9th studio album "Nigger" is just not going to happen. No matter what Def Jam said in the past they were never going to let him do it. Nas had this to say:

“It’s important to me that this album gets to the fans,” the rapper says. “It’s been a long time coming. I want my fans to know that creatively and lyrically, they can expect the same content and the same messages. It’s that important. The streets have been waiting for this for a long time. The people will always know what the real title of this album is and what to call it.”

July 1st the "untitled" album drops.


Win.Well kind of for Saigon. He has successfully parted ways with Atlantic Records who he has cited since '05 as the reason why he still hasn't dropped his debut "The Greatest Story Never Told". Drop dates have come and gone for this album so hopefully now that he is a free agent we are going to see Saigon and Just Blaze drop a classic. check these from the album:

C'mon Baby.
So Much Pain In My Life.

Provider X NB1500

Saturday the exclusive collaboration between Melbourne's boutique streetwear/footware store Provider and New Balance dropped. The custom NB1500 features very simple blue, grey and black colorway along with the soft suede upper. Usually i would have been all over this shoe but as im going overseas in less then 9weeks i couldn't afford to drop the asking price.


Being a very limited drop it caused a camp out @ Provider's store in Manchester lane. The poor people battled Melbourne's cold rainy night as they set their sites on a pair.Making the decision to pass on these ment i didnt have to freeze but i would of happily done it for a pair. Check out this video of the line just before Provider opened there doors at 10am on Saturday.


More news from the Chef. I found out that Raekwon is going to preform his classic debut album Only Built For Cuban Linx in its ENTIRETY in London. Of course he cant do this without Ghostface Killa as he is on 12 of the albums 18 tracks. So the Chef got Ghost out there with him to make history as he preforms every track live for the first time ever. I have no interest in every really going to London but i would be there in a flash to see this. Throwback joints from the album:
Incarcerated Scarfaces
Ice Cream
Criminology

Some left field sequals were announced this week,they included "Point Break 2:The return of Gary Busee" or something similar and the more interesting one "S.Darko" a sequal to cult hit Donnie Darko. Now i enjoyed what i understood from this film and i was suprised writer/director Richard Kelly had decided to do a sequal, but then i found this:

"To set the record straight, here’s a few facts I’d like to share with you all - I haven’t read this script. I have absolutely no involvement with this production, nor will I ever be involved. I have no control over the rights from our original film, and neither I nor my producing partner Sean McKittrick stand to make any money from this film".

The sequel follows Donnie’s younger sister Samantha, 7yrs after his death. She sets off with a friend on a road trip to Hollywood when she starts to have visions. With Kelly not on board, i cant see this doing anything even close to the first film. it a shame they are going to tarnish Donnie Darko with this crap.


Raekwon the Chef (Wu-Tang) finally gives fans a taste of what they can expect from OBFCL2 the follow up to his classic debut album Only Built For Cuban Linx. This is long awaited by fans and me. The track called "The G hide" featuring who else but Ghostface Killah. Im enjoying this track but i find it hard for anything to stand up to Rae's debut.



i have been watching NZ rapper Savage(Dawnraid) climb the Itunes Charts with his track "Swing" that was included in the film "Knocked Up". With the new found fame he sold 100,000 downloads, signed a world wide deal with Universal and had "Swing" treated to a remix that features Soulja Boy. I dont know about that remix.
"Swing" currently sits at #14 on the HipHop itunes charts.

Bun B, one half of UGK, dropped the 1st single "Thats Gangsta" from upcoming album II Trill a couple weeks back and its slowly climbing to the top of my rotation list. the track ft. Sean Kingston on the hook & J.R. Rotem on the beat.


Also a video preview for N.E.R.D's new single "Everybody Nose" dropped today, its allright. But im totally down with the "Everybody Nose (Remix)".it ft's CRS and Pusha T (clipse). Pusha blows his collaborators away.




smart is the new gangster.

Yesterday was sunday, had a good lunch with dennis and then andrew came over and we went to see Iron Man.


I was very impressed, i would say its the best Marvel comic adaption film i have seen.Robert Downey Jr. did a great job playing Tony Starks & the supporting cast which included Terrence Howard, Gwyneth Paltrow & Jeff Bridges were very well casted too. director Jon Favreau lived up to the expectations i had for this film. Downey nailed his part and the talk of a Oscar is not far fetched at all.


Steven Seagal's micro part in Exective Decision is a running joke i have with some people. it always brings many laughs as Segal was used to sell this film even thou he is in it for like 10mins. Anyway andrew and I thought it was right i picked myself up a copy.

Naledge & Double-0 make up Kidz In The Hall.their 2nd album "The In crowd" drops may 13th and the first single "Drivin' Down The Block" is hot. the video has reached no#6 on mtv's TRL.


the remix is even hotter ft. "Bun B,Pusa T & The Cool Kids too"

chi-town mos def got something in their water, with the amount of acts producing quality shit.consider this copped when it drops.

I enjoy showing my little cousin movies as i was shown movies when i was younger. this week we watched Double Dragon. the kid didn't say a word for 90mins, he was glued. i dont know why Mark Dacascos wasn't a huge star.


Got this yesterday, im late but im enjoying.


Since 12/08/07 my birthday, a open casting call went out to find someone to play The Notorious BIG in a movie. they casted Jamal Woolard, a Brooklyn-based rapper, he looks alright. production started few months back and from what im seeing im not convinced. i hope its just me and this will turn out to be watchable. this video came from the set this week introduces the cast/crew.

Jamal Woolard & the great B.I.G

Loving this jam....

Hello cold....goodbye sunshine...


Busta's last album was one of the best releases in a while. today a bunch of new rhymes from the busta hit the net. including this:
