Do yourself a favor and drop whatever it is you're doing (once you get finished reading this, of course) and go to http://www.thehippiehoodlum.com/ right now, and buy Too Deep's new album! I listened to it straight through last night and I've been checking it out again all morning, and it's dope! The production is tight, all the beats are bangers, and the kid's lyrics are on some next level,

Epicly Later'd : Josh Kalis Episode 7

2011-03-28T11:06:00.000-07:00

This is the final episode of one of the best series O'Dell has put out thus far. Josh Kalis is legit, a street skating purist. No image, gimmick, or hype, the dude just goes out and consistently destroys. I love that.

The Answer

2011-03-12T14:39:00.000-08:00

Once again a cacophony of questioning resounds but receives no answers. Profound questions, deeply woven into the DNA of all of us. Fair questions, selfless, and pure. Although many try, these questions remain unanswerable, for now. The fact that they remain though, persistent and stubborn, refusing to be silenced, assures us that there is an answer; and demands that we never stop investigating.

Remember a few months back when pictures like this one first surfaced showing an emaciated Curtis Jackson (50-Cent)? We were told he lost the weight to play a cancer stricken football player. Wow, what devotion to a role! This movie must be a

So in no way do I mean to make light of the situation over there, it has moved me greatly, but I have to take it down a notch for my own sanity, so I'm taking it WAY down with this one. Hey, lighten up! I needed that. The world can be a really scary place if you

Man, I forgot about this kid but his "Time Code" part is burnt into my cerebellum; these days I need a lil remindin from time to time. Kirk's part in the video

Police Van Plows Through Group Of Pedestrians In Egypt.

2011-02-03T15:21:00.000-08:00

Things are really starting to get ugly in Egypt. What started as passionate protests aimed at a 29 year dictatorship, have now taken a more violent and scary turn. Mubarak continues to hold his ground; using the ole' "the countries gonna completely fall apart if I leave now" trick. Dictators, so predictable. Everyone senses the instability of the regime and because of this, total chaos has

Whoa! Yesterday I expressed my love for these guys; and whadaya know? I woke up this afternoon with this joint in my Twitter feed. And, the track is tough! Das Racist is definitely making a case for their "real" hip hop legitimacy. Man, I'm gonna be bumpin this one all day. You should too. Das Racist - Swate by Pretty Much Amazing

Flashing LED Light Teeth

2011-02-03T03:47:00.000-08:00

First it was gold fronts. Then a few years later, platinum fronts took over. Eventually, diamond encrusted fronts became the rage leading Kanye West to have to out do everybody by actually removing his bottom row of teeth and replacing them with diamond transplants. Now, Japanese fashion designers are taking dental fashion to a whole new level. Multicolored, flashing, LED light fronts! I heard

Haitian Farmers Burn Monsanto!

2011-02-02T15:56:00.000-08:00

Last week I read a story that was so awe inspiring, so moving, that I had to just let it linger for a few days. I waited for my emotional reaction to to temper, and my rational mind to reestablish itself and reread the story today. It's power has only gained momentum. This story has been almost completely ignored by the mass media but it demands to be told. On June 4, 2010 a "gift" was given to

Revisiting Blakroc

2011-02-01T22:10:00.000-08:00

The Blakroc album came out in 2009, was easily one of the years best albums but was universally slept on. Usually, attempts to combine rock and hip hop fail miserably but this time it worked. I don't get bored of this record despite having listened to it pretty consistently since it's release (that's saying A LOT). I posted "What You Do To Me" a couple weeks back here's another bangah.

Toy Alert! What Are You Doing!?

2011-02-01T18:54:00.001-08:00

*(The term "toy" is used in graffiti culture to describe a writer with no style, no skills, no respect) It's this kind of basura that fuels the graf hater's fire. Stop it toy boy! With so much trash to choose from, I think Toy Alert! just might become a series. Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.6

Wabi-sabi

2011-02-01T16:48:00.000-08:00

The Japanese have a term: Wabi-sabi. We don't really have an English equivalent. Its a world view, an appreciation for things that are beautifully decayed or falling apart. It's an acceptance with the fact that all matter must age and eventually pass, a kind of peace and agreement with the natural order of things. In the West we have the urge to "fix" everything; to a apply a coat of paint over

The Most Epic Nature Video Ever!

2011-01-31T20:54:00.000-08:00

Lion vs. water buffalo vs. alligator vs. entire herd of water buffalo. This is nature at it's best and wildest. I mentioned this video at work and was shocked at how many people had never heard of it. So, if you are one of those people, prepare to be astounded. If you've already watched it, watch it again it's good for a few viewings.

Paths Are Never Straight Lines

Paths Are Never Straight Lines.The zigzag, journey uphill and down. They reach dead ends. But when we put our best foot forward, we just might venture in utopia's direction, toward a world from below, by and for all. We gingerly find stepping-stones to more marvelous destinations. They strive to cobble together whole landscapes out of non heierarchical practices. We kick broken glass from our

You Say You Want A Revolution?

2011-01-30T14:01:00.000-08:00

Why do these video montages always have the worst backing track? The videos incredible nonetheless, just mute it and put on Black Flag or something.This one gets really intense about halfway through. It reminds me of Tienanmen Square. Hopefully Egypt's protest will have a better outcome. Here's an interesting doc. about the Tienanmen Square "Tank Man"; enjoy.
