Job Well Done



Don't really have any words. But, party time is over. It's time for all of us to take action now. Fixing the country is not a one man job.

A Quick Laugh...



The thrill is gone.

R.I.P. Jax



Wow. Hip Hop literally died on stage last night at Lenny's. When I woke up this morning and saw the homie Nicole's (aka Severe) Gchat message saying "RIP JAX" I wanted to ask "who?" but didn't. You know, its kinda awkward asking people "yo, who died?" Then when I went over to Kaos' blog and saw the post he made on Jax I got reminded of exactly who it was and just thought oh damn...

Jax was one third of Atlanta's Binkis Recs (BINKIS: Before Ignorant Niggas Killed Intelligent Songs). For years Binkis was a stronghold in Atlanta's underground rap scene, even aiding in launching the career of DJ Drama pre-Gangsta Grillz. Really, more than just the "rap scene," Hip Hop period. If you were a lover of music, supporter of the culture and resident of Atlanta you'd surely seen these dudes perform and walked away remembering what you saw.

On a personal level, I can't say that I knew Jax, I only met him a couple times through the homie Craig who is in BINKIS as well. Can't say not one bad thing about dude, everytime I'd spoken with him was a pleasant experience. But that's neither here nor there, at the end of the day a dope MC, fiance and friend to many has passed.

He passed out on stage performing at Lenny's last night from a heart attack. According to Creative Loafing Jax suffered the heart attack while performing the title track from his 2007 solo album Sharper Images.

While its sad to hear, especially seeing as how he just purchased a home and was about to get married later this year, at least we can say the man died doing what he loved most...on stage at that. How many of us wish that we could die doing what we love?

RIP JAX

Bobby Creekwater-BC Era Mixtape



Ok. I'm killing two birds with one stone here.

First, I'm posting this vid the homie Sol Messiah sent over not to long ago. He's been pretty busy in the studio and documenting some of it on camera. Here's a brief drop with him and Bobbby Creekwater giving you a prelude to what's about to happen with them. If you don't know Bobby Creek used to be in a duo called Jatis around the turn of the century. They were signed to Loud which was also home to Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep and dead prez just to name a few. Alot people likened them to 'Kast at the time, but things ain't really pan out. Then Bobby Creek resurfaced on Eminem's Shady Records back around 04-05. He still hasn't dropped an album over there, so the wait is still on.

However in his time over there he managed to drop two dope ass mixtapes, Anthem To the Streets Volumes 1 & 2. Today he dropped his latest joint The BC Era. I haven't listened to it yet, but Bobby Creek hasn't let me down yet, so I feel comfortable posting it. If its wack ya'll be sure to tell me...aight?

Its A Celebration! (part 3)




I haven't posted any funny party flyers in a minute because shied, I haven't been out partying. Know why? Because its a recession going on.

That didn't stop these folks from capitalizing though. If you don't have anything to do tonight nor the money to do it with, consider stopping by Club Mariachi for RECESSION FRIDAYS. That's right RECESSION FRIDAYS.

Its free all night, they got $3 drinks and 2-for-1's on the bottles! You might just win a free gas card! They need to be giving those away to everybody, I've never heard of Mariachi but that shit sounds far. And tonight they're having a Halloween Bash with a live performance from Gorilla Zoe. I hope he don't wear all that ice to the club though, got damn recession shawty.

Once again RECESSION FRIDAYS ladies and gentlemen. Why let your current financial situation keep you in the house when you can go drink and dance for cheap? We complain about all these other spots bustin' heads at the door. Celebrate your brokeness at the recession party! Broke & Boujee ain't got nothing on Broke & Broker.

{Rick James voice} Its A Recession, Bitches!

Giaaaaat Daaaaaaamn



Z-Ro is one of my favorite rappers and songs like this are reason why. Soundtrack to my life right now. I swear I need one of those "Shit Happens" bumper stickers they said Forrest Gump invented.

Swag Is Down



I spotted this at TheOnion.com.

According to an alarming new study published Monday in The Journal Of Applied Behavioral Science, the time-honored American activity of swaggering, an extremely arrogant manner of walking, has dropped by nearly 90 percent since 2007. (click here to read the rest)

Somebody needs to tell Soulja Boy this, because according to him, his swag is at an all time high.



I'm sorry. I had to do it. This song is absolutely terrible, but DAMMIT, its catchy as hell. DAMN! This song is more than a guilty pleasure. Its just bad. I told someone this song is like smoking Newports. You know its bad for you, but you just can't help it. If you absolutely hate Soulja Boy, do not click on the video or stop it now. Because you are going to be singing along to this damn song by the end.
