Mean As

For many in Auckland, being a fan of “urban” music ain’t easy. Sometimes you don’t want to go to a club and hear guys who sound like robots harping on about Patron and shawtys ALL night. Alternatively,  it can be hard to actually have a good time and stay awake through a whole night of obscure conscious raps over some jazz loops. All things in moderation they say – so for the people that can appreciate Slum Village AND Snoop Dogg, people who like D’Angelo who don’t hate every song that’s on the Radio or TV, or people who wanna hear the new shit they just downloaded off Nah Right in a club – once every month, we’re gonna try and do something Mean.

Shucks… we might even play a 2Pac song that ISN’T “How Do You Want It” or “California Love”.

A sweet excuse for a party on a Monday night! Mondays are hospo night at Cassette #9 and the past few times that I’ve DJed there it has been cranking, which is bizarre to me but awesome at the same time. Come down and celebrate the epicness of the late great Aotea Square with us!

“YEAH… YEAH…YEAH…YEAH”

This song has continued to get better over time, to the point where it is now officially my shit. Due to the fact that the kick drum is mostly absent, the timing on this song kinda threw me at first but once my brain got used to where the “one” was … shit became undeniable.

Bossman Ross was so excited by it he threw a verse on and wanted to shoot a vid. He also continues his alarming trend of not wearing sunglasses in vids – out of it cunt. New verses from the brothers Thornton also.

Let it be known, this video depicts the exact enviroment you should be enjoying this song in. Mint.

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.

Download: Wiz Khalifa – Burn After Rolling

looks to Dat Piff.

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.

Mayweather 4 prez

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.

Rest in peace Grandmaster Roc Raida!

Raida influenced an entire generation of DJs. Not just an inspirational DJ, he was an extremely humorous character too, word to Horse and Thug Doug. He will be missed for sure.

I really don’t want to believe this. Rest in peace Adam Goldstein aka DJ AM, one of the best to ever do it!

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.
