In my continuing quest to promote Wiz Khalifa, here’s the link to his new mixtape. This is a must download for 2 reasons:

1. “Won’t Land” sees Wiz taking on the Camp Lo “Luchini” beat. That is one of the greatest beats ever, if you think otherwise – you’re incorrect. Wiz pays homage to the O.G with the flows too, I dig that.
2. “If I Were A Lame” – Wiz addressing what he’d do if he were a lame to the tune of Beyonce’s “If I Were A Boy”. Solid.

On a sidenote, me and Glaciers went out drinking with Wiz manager while we were in NYC. Cool dude, and he also had some interesting tales about the spot we’d seen Adrien Grenier leaving from the night before. Haha.

If you didn’t catch THIS all over the internets yesterday you should’ve. One thing’s for sure, that shade45 interview was probably the most effective promo R.A’s ever done in his life. Though I disagree with a lot of the Rugged Man’s statements(gtfoh with Margarito and Mosley), he’s obviously a big fan of the sport. What made this shit properly hilarious  though, was how heated Floyd gets.

Let’s be real here, R.A’s opinion should be meaningless to someone like Floyd.. but in true Kanye fashion Floyd is simply not having it. The fact that he went and rung up a hip hop radio station to get in an argument with some rapper he’s never heard of over the dudes opinion is just comedy.

Oh yeah, and if anyones got links for the Pacman Cotto 24/7 episodes – holla in the comments.

Here’s a link to the full Mayweather vs R.A debate.

If you didn’t already think Pepsi was rude as fuck, this timeline should’ve got your mind right. Personal highlights include 1906 where they stooped to using subliminals “drink” and “delicious” – genius. 2005’s IMPACT stylings are equally wretched.

In my opinion they shoulda stuck with the 1973, it’s the best balance of distancing themselves from Cokes branding and looking half dece. That latest one looks like a logo for a petrol company.

On the topic of Pepsi though, try and count how many people you’ve met in your life that prefer Pepsi over Coke. I’d wager that none of you know more than 3 people tops that are on the Pepsi buzz.

… and I’m always reminded of that fact when I watch this video, being that it dropped round the same time. “Name On A Cloud” is taken from Wiz Khalifa’s Flight School mixtape and sees the skinny dude doing his thing over the “Runnin” beat. Top 10 beats ever btw, R.I.P Jay Dee, and if you’re one of those dudes who wears “Dilla saved my life” tees and you didn’t know he made this… now you do. We’re all about bettering the community round here.

Back to the vid tho – it rules for the reasons that Drakes video sucked.  It features a great yet simple performance from the artist. It gives you an idea of his character and something to identify him with. And most importantly it sits well with the mood of the song. It’s also very nicely shot, quite a remarkable effort really for something that’s just a mixtape cut.

As I’ve said before, I rate this kid.

Taylor gang or fucken kill yaself.

If my calculations are correct, The Game’s Auckland concert is exactly one week from today. As of today, I have not bought a ticket. That isn’t all that outlandish considering I’ve never been the most organised fellow. However what I did find alarming was the realisation that, as of today, I don’t know of anyone else who’s bought a ticket either.

Perhaps all the people I know are just Game-haters, but I think the issue here runs deeper. Seems whenever we have an ‘urban’ artist of Game’s caliber we’re all quick to assume that the promoters a shmuck, not enough people will buy tickets, and it’s not gonna happen. Subsequently we don’t buy a ticket and the prophecy is fulfilled.

It’s a shame cause whenever a more ‘niche’ act like say Dizzee Rascal or Lupe Fiasco comes to town, people are jumpin out the fucken window to go buy their tickets – funnily enough, a lot of these same people probably bump Game’s music much more than they do either of those 2.  The fact that the niche acts are always brought over by the promoters we actually have faith in helps, but I think people also just find it easier to believe that smaller acts will actually come here, as opposed to the big superstars. Inferiority complex ?

The other key beef I see people having with this concert is the Logan Campbell Center.

The Logan… fucken … Campbell center.

I’m sure there were fans saying “oh well” as soon as they announced that.  Some out of fear of leaving central aucks for a show, others out of dismay. God I hate that place. I can’t quite put my finger on what causes it, but it’s just depressing. The most depressing venue in Auckland. It feels like a bigger than average school hall. Thinking about it now, i feel ashamed of what we as a city subjected our international performers to back in the day. A circus tent by some rugby fields, and Logan Campbell Intermediate. Fucken mean, no wonder I never got to see Wu Tang.

Whatevs tho, let’s take this to the polls. Who’s going ??

Dj Class in this bitch!

This video cracks me up. If you’ve been hitting clubs in the past 12 months you’d be hard pressed to have not heard some “Baltimore club” or “BMore” songs and remixes creeping into peoples sets. I don’t know shit about this genre except for the fact that heaps of the songs use the same break (I don’t know what the break is called, ask P-Money he’ll tell you) and they like to sample ignant rap quotes and repeat them a few hundred times throughout the song. It’s great.

Anyways, if theres one Bmore song you’ve probably heard without knowing.. it’s this bad boy right here.  This vid is made all the more comedic by the fact it’s directed by Class himself, and is budget as fuck. When you got Kanye West jumping on a remix of your song I woulda thought you’d score some finances behind you – unfortunately not for Class. Best bit is when he shows the patron in his cup … which given the setting looks suspiciously similar to a glass of water.

Had a chat with our mate Nicholas last night, he’s in Tokyo at the moment and wanted to inform me of a new pastime he’d recently partaken in whilst visiting Akihabra.

Mimikaki

What is Mimikaki you ask ? Here’s the definition:

For 2,500 yen you can experience the pleasure of laying your head on the tender thighs of a yukata-clad young woman as she picks the wax out of your ears.

Now I don’t regularly engage in picking the wax out of my ears, but on occasion I’ve had to handle a blockage (hey man, flu + loud clubs + flights .. it can take a toll). I can’t say I’ve ever found it to be that sensual an experience to be perfectly honest, and the thought of some chick I don’t know having to scrounge round my ear seems somewhat embarassing .

Perhaps all the attraction lays in the head to thigh action ? Regardless, it’s apparently all the rage at the mo and Nick rates it so it could be worth a look in. What say you’s ?

Like most, I first came across Tyga via his single “Coconut Juice”(pause) early last year. The video was lavish, and as he was/is signed to Young Money/Decaydence  – it featured cameos from Lil Wayne, Fallout boy’s Pete Wentz and his cousin Travis from Gym Class heroes. The song was admittedly rather cheese, but no more so than everything else which was going on at the time.  Combined with the star power cosigning him I figured hearing much more of that song and him would be a no brainer.

It was not to be though, and until Jordan showed me this a couple months back I thought he’d disappeared off the planet.  “Live Forever” caught me offguard, with Tyga’s flow sounding reminiscent of some mid 90’s New York shit. In fact his get up even looks like something Shyheim woulda worn.

Now he’s back with a new vid, and he seems to be distancing himself even further from the pop lane they initially tried to carve out for him. Still goin hard, but the content and video is L.A all day on this one. Mean shit, don’t write him off just yet.

Ok, we’ve all seen the photos – if you haven’t… your internets is pretty weak. I don’t really have anything to say on the matter, this is a matter of public opinion. Cast your votes and weigh in with the comments.
