I had fun this Halloween. Got to hang out with family and friends. Take my son treating. Got to hand out popcorn instead of candy.
This song is going out to everyone messing with or capitalizing on the darkness, evil, and fear. You mess with the bull, you will get the horns, and in this case it might not be the horn of a bull…Keep it clean and in the light, yall.
Haven’t posted a sk8 related one in a while, but when Lofa told me about this i had to check it out. J Webb, Mills vills finest goes for the mega ollie and while he tries to bail and kick his board out from him, i think one of his feet actually land on the board and the rest is pain history. Hope he has a quick and onehundred recovery.
Then you got Dys Oner, with his own montage. Stereo been showing Dyson nuthing but love since he been on that team. We gotta find Webb a team like that.
Matt Chaffin, this kid has always been a favorite of mine. Maybe cuz he really reminds me of the hey days of skateboarding. Baggy pants, shirts, fitted, and dope sneaks. His style is sweet too. Hawaiians doing it big.
I believe as a dj its your job to keep the art alive. I probably never embrace Serato, well only if i decide to go on tour again and i need it for our instrumental sets, but even then i found a site that will cut 1 off vinyl dubplate for DJs that want to have custom scratch phrases and instrumentals. I would rather hold up my own vinyl dubplates as a badge of Gold then a lap top of MP3’s. I love music that much and i love to give the experience of DJing and Hip-Hop that i would pay for my own dubplates. Electric Drums came out years ago, but you wouldn’t catch Clyde Stubblefield backing James Brown with none of that junk…bottom line is you can dislike my opinion or think i’m wack, when i’m on the decks its pure Hip-hop needle to the groove, analog low, vinyl crunch, physical records being shuffled like a human jukebox….how about some we just give the drummer some, cuz the drummer aint had some in a long time, HIT IT!
Who would of thought i would be making woven labels? Crazy? Through the years i have learned thru trial and error what and how to run my own clothing/music label, and i say that very loosely. After going thru the two batches of 1000 labels, i knew the next step was to bring attention to detail. In a over saturated market, it takes a lot – not quantity, but qualitiy. I always thought printing on the inside of a shirt was, eh, eazy way to do things. And yes look for LS in a quality store near you. Mahalo
This is some of dat good music. I’ll take Grouch over Jay-Z any day. Yes, you are probably thinking i am crazy but The Grouch been about the streets even when Hova was all cigars, cars, diamond, cryst, and all the material ish.
“it used to be stress, but now its Breath…it used to be broke, now its invest!”
Me and da Ohana is chilling at Turtle bay, well not the Hotel but at a Good Friends spot! I decided to use this picture because Who the heck wears shoes like dat to the beach? Also, sitting in the sun at that time will kill your skin, aaah c’mon. “You break you stick you shred so bad!”
Big ups to Ryan Chun for this one, check his blog out at www.chunzilla.blogspot.com. Mills got the best style for decades. From Holo and Ryan Arakaki rocking that early 90’s style, to Fybes, Mark Gushimi, Clint Chinen, Ian Okui, and those guys bringing in the cleaner street flatground styles. To this bunch of Ruffians- Justin, Chun, Dyson, Keala, Webb, to name a few. I am missing choke people, but i do claim Mills produces the most stylistic and smooth skaters in Hawaii.
Took this from Jeff Staple’s blog! Wow, first i didn’t know that Staple dj’ed. According to his post he was in Japan and he got to dj along side of DJ MURO and DJ KENSEI. Wow, those two djs are known to be huge diggers!
DJ Muro killing the 45’s and i mean Murder, with flawless mixes and on point fading. Wow!
Check the vid of Muro killing the 45’s according to Jeff Staple Muro does not use Serato or maybe he doesn’t majority of the time. Domo Arigato Nomo Serrato! Ehh, you like that one! It really inspired me. I only seen The reggae dj’s in Hawaii and Jus1oh rock only 45’s. The reggae selectors can rock a whole set, but i never seen a Hip-Hop dj from Hawaii rock a only 45 set. I think that might be the next goal.
I don’t know how i slept on this. Only a few men in this world has landing a 900 – Tony Hawk, 1999 X-Games, Sandro Dias, 2004 Latin X-Games, Giorgio Zattoni, and Alex Perelson, 2009 Maloof Money Cup. This kid is 18 years old. I’m glad to see the next gen embracing Vert skateboarding. I wish i had a chance to master vert. There is actually a handfull of Hawaii skaters that can actually skate vert – Rob Gaskell, Rob Waldron, Jared Bush, Bo Ikeda, sorry if i forgot you, my bad.
FIRST listen to the original – Aesop Rock “None Shall Pass”…..NOW!
How could you not love this? Seriously, if you are a music lover this is great. First, the fact that Hardcore heads listen to Ase Rock. Second, the time and effort to record, edit, and mix the song. Third, i respect anyone that can “scream”, yes before i was “this is wack” and “what the heck” but as i was exposed to a lot more Hardcore screaming, you gotta give it up. Vocally, it is crazy. Much respect. AAAAARrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaahh.
Peeped out that Hot16 @ Trops the other night and got to talking to the homie Rhyme the OM. Well first i was talking to Keli’i of the Spacifics about Chi-Ali and the song called “Pass the 40″. If you know this…
If you don’t know Chi-Ali, he looked like Dres of the Black Sheeps younger brother. Got a deal when he was 14. His whole album was produced by the Beat Nuts, and remixes by Diamond D and Q-tip(i think). The youngest member of the Native Tongues. Also on the track was Mr. Lawnge of the Black Sheep with his on point p-nice references. Chris Lighty & Dave Gosett, both of these cats were major A&R’s that help usher in a bunch of 90’s mcees. Dres, caps it off with another word play twister. But wait my point was the guy after Chi Ali, was none other than Hot Dog from the crew The A.T.E.E.M. Super slept on crew that Chubb Rock put on. Word was that the ATEEM was Chubb’s back up dancers, but i thought it was his cousin. Whatevers, peep the song, boom bap niceness….
We also got to chop it up about, KID HOOD. His one verse off of the Scenario Remix, bought a buzz i don’t remember any other mc bringing back then. Really raw, but cut short after he got murdered a few days after he dropped this verse.
Look out for tracks with me and rhyme, gotsa do some boombap call and response. word up G. Outtie 5000.
