What the pho?

So me and Moniqt were listening to Man on the Moon and decided to scour the newly discovered whosampled.com to determine whether or not Kid Cudi had any actual real production ability. Questionable. Cuz we found this:

So.

Haven't posted in a hot minute, my bad. But I have been working on the new movements with TheCoolKidList. Don't trip, it's gonna be epppiicccc.

Dick Cheney is a Basehead

That's all.
For Real

New Ish

Attention Attention Bay Area rappers: you've got company

I know him as Roberto but you will now know him as Roberto Antonio...he posted this video of his new song and I think it is totally neat-o, especially since Don't Let Me Down is one of the most beautiful songs written. So lissssen

"aaahhh...this shit slaps."

Girls Lust for Life- True Panther Sounds

Alexes showed me this video that she is in...and it is incredible. Good shots of her house, various spots in the city like Dolores Park-- where Z and I spent this afternoon brassmonkeying-- and the song is a light, summery tune.... So look. And get like us.

ROCK THE BELLS

I'm convinced that this leg of the tour, the show at the Shoreline Amphiteater, was by far the best one; primarily because a) we were there and b) it was in the Bay. No brainer, people.

The Roots were the best act, followed closely by Damian Marley who preformed an astounding "Could You Be Loved", as a finale encore. Mayers texted me in the middle of the show, "I am in LOVE with ?uestlove" and it is a true story. His ability and talent on those drums is ridiculous. But Captain Kirk Douglas' guitar solo was incredible; definitely made the set. It was well worth the $53.45, I must say. A glimpse:

Ice Cream Paint Job

On a mission to the Mission, Lohraw took me to Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream  on Harrison, and it was....yes....I am going to say it...amazing. 

Unlike hyped up locations that are also involved in the reinvention of ice cream, HSIC is humble, relatively inexpensive, and welcoming. Very unpretentious, which I liked.

I got sweet summer corn and caramel miso ice cream...flavors one would never associate with the classic vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry that has been plaguing our cones since day one...no more!!! Make way for mcevoy olive oil, honey thyme, and government cheese! If you ever find yourself at 2790 Harrison St. in SF, CA, definitely dip inside for a little scoop. 

Holler

Thoughts?

I found this youtube video for nikesb and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I love Ice Cube, and the song "Today Was a Good Day" is obviously the slap that knocks hard, the storyline is poignant and funny, and the cinematography is dope. But Kobe's cameo...? Product placement...? LA...? Sellouts? I don't know how I feel about it so lemme know how you do.

My bad for not posting in a while. Things have been hectic and work everyday has officially taken over my life.

Oakland: the most beautiful city besides other beautiful cities in the Bay Area. I have spent most of my summer in Oakland rather than Berkeley, where I squandered many a high school day...now that I am fully in tune with my hometown I am discovering lots of bits and pieces of it that have been overlooked in the past...

Speaking of Oakland, if you haven't been to Pretty Penny yet, you should go. Yesterday I came up on a Marc Jacobs purse, ruffled silk shirt, and white crocheted top from the 1970s. Goessss. I am very juiced. Pictures to come.

Tomorrow Lohraw and Monequa (possibly) will venture into the SCO for some adventuring; pictures to come on that too.

Oh, and if you're going to be in Oakland tomorrow night, go to the Oakland Art Museum in downtown near the lake. We're bout to run it so you should come through...

Back to work. Commit a slow and painful suicide? Perhaps.
