Lighten the mood a bit

Bit of nostalgia here for you... Secondary School I.T. WHY?

Secondary School I.T. lessons were just an excuse to do nothing, or catch up in the wasteful hour on homework due in for the next period... well that was the case at my school (also called the Pikey Dump) I remember being taught where to place my fingers on the keyboard I still know that but everything else I learnt from "eating chicken and chips and going on msn" as Afrikan boy would say.

God bless you Year 10 I.T. of doss magic, the throwing of various shit at each other, tasty gossip i.e. figuring out whose going out with who or who got caught with whom dry sexing on the grotty acidic stained 'I Luv Billy 4eva 01' tables in the science rooms and my personal favourite wondering how whats her name managed to "wipe the wrong way" after being told of dubious stains and smells in the cooch department earning her the name 'Feaces Flange' (as she was so kindly dubbed by a friend and I that used to be inseparable.)

However, the best was finally realising the magic of the Internet... searching for stupid things on the net like those ring tone codes you could type into your Nokia 3210, (I had the Ruff Riders Anthem *cough*) actually that was bangin, I want that monophonic kick ring tone back!

This is by far the best of it though, AMAZING. I read it again with fingers toes and hair (platted) crossed in hope it would still be as hilarious as it was when I was 14, and omg YES. I fucking LOVE 'Black People Love Us!' if you have never see it... where've you been and for those of you that have... take a walk down memory lane at some of the sheer genius from this amazing oldschool website.



I wish I had remembered this website when that prick from uni decided to argue with me about the fact that he felt that HE was completely warranted to grope MY hair and give me an S.S. style interrogation on just why my hair was as it is...

"Johnny calls me "da man!" That puts me at ease. It makes me feel comfortable, because I am Black and that's how Black folks talk to one another."

"Sally loves to touch my hair! She always asks me how I got my hair to do this. That makes me feel special. Like I have magical powers!"

"Sally and Johnny are always going on and on about how Tiger Woods changed the face of golf, and the Williams Sisters changed the face of tennis! On and on...like, almost for too long!"

Check the testimonials, nuff people getting upset. I love the slow witted, they're always amusing times.

Remember these...

NEDA/ Martyr

Neda is a name that has now become synonymous with those fighting for Mir Hossein Mousavi to be elected. It's the plight that Iranians are faced with should they choose to stand up and speak out for their freedom. It's time for us to wake up from our disturbingly comfortable ignorant stupors and make it our mantle to inform those of us who don't know become more politically aware and in touch with the cultures of others.

Neda was a student and like many young Iranians was gathering with protesters and her father to fight for Iranian political constraints to be relinquished. She was shot down by a hidden sniper (as is now becoming the terrifying trend in Tehran) she symbolised even through peaceful protest defiance against hard line president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Ignorance is frighteningly celebrated in western culture and it's horrendous that it takes shocking images like this to make us see beyond our own existences and try and wrap our minds around what life means for other people, I know I'm certainly guilty of not paying enough attention. I want to be fair to our generation in the sense that I remember learning about Vietnam and it taking uncensored media in the 60's to make people of our age stand up, take note and use the tools around them to get the message out there and shine a spotlight on the tragic state of affairs... which was the push for change that was needed.

We can't know everything but we do have the Internet a powerful tool of influence that we use to fill our minds with vacuous Perez filled garbage (admittedly he is a fun to loathe) we could spare some time to do our best to get people talking, to eventually use all our voices to pressurise a government keen on oppression to stop the censorship. Iran is made up of 70% of under thirties who've placed themselves at the forefront of protests to strive for their right to choose better futures.



Great posts on My Fucking Redundancy , ATCN & all over Twitter, The Guardian, BBC. Doing something big or small is still a step in the right direction we don't have to be drastic in order for our unified support to be felt.





RT Set your Twitter location to Tehran & the time to GMT+3.30...up the traffic, create a jam & stop real talk being censored! Wise words from a fellow blogging friend of mine.

R.I.P. you utter LEGEND

Words fail me, I cant even express the utter impact this legend has made on the world of music... I reserve the right to retain an air of cliche because I still honestly cannot believe he's dead. Legend completely encompasses the absolute genius that he was, someone even through death that will always remain a poignant and influential figure in the world of music and dance. We're all utterly honored to have grown up and witnessed his magic.

Yes there was a time when we all had a dig I'd be a fucking hypocrite like this cunt (Perez Hilton) if I didn't admit that but this is a time to show respect for the MJ's outstanding contribution to music and celebrate his incredible creativity.

I can't really write much more and rather than over do it I thought I'd compile some words from others together, I've been reading some amazing quotes posts so leave a comment if you feel to. spafe.

"I have never felt this before in my life. I could measure my childhood 2 now on an mj growth chart. if this is true. Rip. The last legend." - Pete Wentz

Doctor's Orders 4th Birthday - FREE MIXTAPE

I'll be honest - I don't really like other people that put on hip-hop nights in London. They are usually very trendy west / east london c*nts with cr*p DJs where people are more concerned about their gimmicky look than the actual music.

Rod "Spin Doctor" Gilmore is definitely one of the few exceptions. He has not jumped on any band-wagons and has been putting on quality hip-hop parties for years. Here is a free mixtape he's put together to showcase 4 year birthday of Doctors Orders.

Check the mixtape HERE.

Fiddy

50 Cent War Angel LP

DOWNLOAD HERE

I'm not a Fiddy fan, he offends me in general... hence why this post is so late as I had to be sure I was ready to expose my eardrums to it but this is more than tolerable... I don't abhor it, I think I actually might venture to say I like it.

I was expecting expensive sounding showy off mahusive bassy beats, the over blinged backdrop to him being an egotistical gun wielding prick (not forgetting to throw in the occasional thick thighed girl). but War Angel is actually not overwhelmingly irritating and there appears to be an effort to reinstate in our minds that the man at one point did have lyrical flow and didn't always regurgitate repetitive questionable and soul destroying content. Get a bit of the fat kid loves cake humour with his interesting British accent in London Girl... amusing, makes for an easy to listen to LP.

Seems to have gone for dissatisfied older wiser rapper not impressed with current state of hip hop in C.R.E.A.M. he slates the skinny jeans and mohawk heads kinda like they're all to blame... and not at all anything to do with the guns, bitches and bling bullshit he often passes off as 'new' content.

Thought provoking? no it is not but definitely quite a few tracks you won't help but naturally gravitate to as the music and his flow culminate and form a classic time... Cocaine Feat Robin Thicke is just a pure and simple good time, C.R.E.A.M. is another track to look out for and the cheesy but entertaining London Girl don't know whether it's to do with the gashley he has in it to splurt out stuff about his penis in our great accent but I'm feeling it. The only problem I'm finding with this album is the more I listen to it, the more I like it so I find myself randomly saying shit like "Redrum redrum one sugar ten shots one gun" damn you Fiddy with your non amazing yet surprisingly catchy and dare I say 'class' lil LP.

DJ Snips TV - Hip Hop Legends Concert @ BB Kings

Funk Flex presented the Hip Hop Legends part 2 show @ BB Kings in NY. Nice N Smooth, Krs One, Black Moon, Smiff N Wessun, Mc Lyte, Raekwon, Inspectah Deck, Freddie Foxx, Naughty By Nature...... and thats just the people i managed to film. The show was as sick as the line up looks.... enjoy....

Trash Metal meets Emo meets Happy Hardcore?

really!??

the meeting of 3 great genres of music, i think you'll agree... wait for the ending.

Burberry... dry like toast?

I expect WOW...

I expect more from the big guns because I would probably sell a family member to have Mario Testino photograph me every freakin' waking moment of the day. A clear appreciation and cohesive nature with the finer things in life Testino's photography instantly screams unforgettable and iconic.

Perhaps my eyes have been spoilt with crazy Westwood & Galiano flouncy designs that beige makes my pupils feel as though they'll hemorrhage, because for the latest installment from Burberry I'm at a loss for who to blame... Burberry or Testino because the 2008 & 2009 campaign are basically the same thing. DISSAPOINTED. It's just a different shitty celeb I don't much care for gazing wistfully/post coitally into the camera with someone of the opposite sex drenched in sepia or black & white effect and soft focused to the max to appease us. You've already done the near a tree in a beige mac/holding a beige mac shot... why must you insist on regurgitating this again? With everything so beige I feel the need to punch myself in the stomach in order to wake up from a fashion coma. I dig classic but this is just fucking lazy... I can go to Shoe Zone for copy cats and repetition season shit, be imaginative you cunts.
