A Hero Ain't Nathan But A Sammich, Sondoola....

I guess the Providence Phoenix is waiting for us to make it happen hero style as we were made mention in this week's edition in the Heroes of '09 piece:

Peep Here

A host of our musical brethren also caught made mention.
Good looks to the Phoenix finally recognizing a world below the obvious in recent days (Probably cause Chris Conti's a cool muthaf*cka)....

Anyhow, Happy Holidays you ungrateful f*cks.
I'll hit yall with my struggling best of '09 list when I get some breathing room.
We need an itinerary or a secretary or a tooth fairy or some ish....
Best wishes and alla that sappy stuff.
Peace.

After Glow....

This guy seemed to enjoy his self on his B Day the best way most of us can...By calling earl after a long night of drinking and smoking (vice versa) smoking and drinking.....

I have learned 3 valuable lessons this past weekend:

1. I should have been born Italiano cause my love for meatballs (pause), eggplant parmesan, and pizza bread is infinite. Esh's Mom's Christmas party is the best ish since ThanksGiving!!!

2. I am an absolute beast when it comes to the "giving" aspect of Christmas, and, as much as I'm perceived as "the least humble cat" some people have ever known, I don't need to show yall my shopping receipts to drive home a point.

3. Toys R Us attracts the most thugged out contingent on the planet. Now we should all praise and give thanks that society's so-called biggest threat actually care for their kids extra on the holidays nowadays, but imagine the culture shock I experienced having passed through Geoffrey the Giraffe's headquarters for the 3rd year in a row (my daughter is 2 and this is her 3rd Christmas, I won't front, I hadn't been in Toys R Us for like 20 years or longer before her birth) and all the white house wives were replaced with cats larger than my 6 foot 200 pound frame, squeezing toy Mickey Mouse's feet, waiting for the likkle jingle to jump off, and giggling like skool girls...while looking at me waiting for me to join in on said giggling....Awkward, money. Awkward.
PS: I hate seeing people I haven't seen in years whilst shopping...Like anyone wants to speak on it mid stroke emptying their pockets in the tide of Yule. Bah-Humbug, suckas...

Peace.

Catsup...Ketchup...Catch Up...

The month of December usually creates insane madness for all....
The weather, the gigantic holiday preparation...Mostly the holiday preparation...
Don't get ate up before the new year arrives...
I been 'gwan around trying desperately to accomplish ish I been set out to get done and hadn't had the time....In the same setiment, I been kinda busy with my "right now" as well....
From the pattern(s) of my current social situation, I would say that other people are in the exact same boat....Either that or I'm the as*hole no one 'wan deal wit'...Heh.
That's cool.
I sleep really good at night. Do you?
Can't trust no one but the man in the mirror anyhow:
Or seek refuge in old pals...

I'm talkin' old skool crew, like VHS and ish:

I was lookin extra scruff for the past couple of weeks, so this ish hadda go!!!

Which is usually good warmth preparation for this crap:

There you have it, gang...An introduction to winter (vibes and weather).

Stay warm and stay Peace.

Costume Jewelery....

F*ckin' Halloween yo...
Too bad I'm not 22 and Spanish cause Latina Night looked really big time and 1/2 naked....
Big up to Jamaican karate masters....
Big up to Brazilian broads that rock the stereotypical hand gesture ish whilst vibin'...
Here's some flicks of the past weekend, Halloween style, costumes and all...
For the record, J Strest & DJ AlBums' costumes were the best I've seen in ages...Problem is (for yall), they're inside jokes (which I love)....My man Swerve had Elliot on lock though...I just never got a flick of him (my bad)...
I did see a tall ass white dude dressed as Sho'Nuff from The Last Dragon that I found heavily entertaining....
Rap dudes on stage...In costume...the verdict's still out on that ish...
Bilbo Swaggins and Gandolph the Brown courtesy ala Durdie Dirty...
There's irony in the flick with rap dudes rockin prison stripe costumes....I'm just sayin'...
Christmas is creepin' up yall...
Peace.

Spelling Bee Drop Out...

Big ups to Mic V & DJ D Nap for inviting we to rock my old neigborhood hot spot that is The New Wave Cafe of New BedRock, MA...
I must admit, the soundman there, for a small spot, knows his sh!t...
Most elder caucasian sound guys are the type to attempt to tame Hip Hop cats loudness and clarity, but this cat treated the sound like a punk rock show...Big Ups....

Durdie Dirty did their thing...

Romen Rahlo even rocked right quick...

Bums manned the helm...

And I went home pie-eyed (What's new)...

Peace Potnas.

Big Hip Hop Weekend in Providence....

Man, oh, man...
I am f*ckin' beat down yo....
El-P on Friday and ED.O.G. & Masta Ace last night....
It comes in spurts, I tell ya (pause)....
Got a lot of drunken Blackberry Camera pictures for yall to stare at....
Firstly, everyone's favorite Providence based sound man:Friday he was all about the Tequila (ask Esh) and by Sunday this dude was screamin for the show to be over so he could go home and go to bed....I think I might have failed to mention that in the interum of El-P's Friday show and ED.O & Ace last night, DJ Premier popped through to the exact same venue Saturday night and got busy on the 1s & 2s....

PDP rocked with Esh right quick then got rushed at their merch table for product and autographs....

F*ck Ya Face!!!!
Ha.
Good ish...
El destroyed downtown Providence btw....
I even ran into this guy!!!
And it was this cat's birthday weekend....
And that was just Friday!!!

Saturday I recorded two more joints for my upcoming solo project....I'm still not giving away the title of the project yet cause I always seem to watch said ideas float right into the hands of someone else, but I can tell you the names of the two tracks I recorded are "Live From The Land Of Make Believe" produced by my man Deto22 of Phenetiks outta CT with Esh on the hook...and "Smarts" produced by my man Intrikit....

At the rate I'm going right now, these joints may or may not make it to the final cut (obviously), but the thing is...I just now started to cut tracks that might not fit...In the past I tried my hardest to keep everything...Even IF? something didn't fit....Which explains a lot looking back now....My bad....

Last night I stormed Providence (Yes...a pun) with like 7 or 8 of my mans from New B in honor of Masta Ace's performance....Oh yeah, ED.O.G. was there too (I kid, I kid)....Both of these Hip Hop heroes "tore the rough off this bumba ras-clahtt...."

Now THAT'S, Hip Hop!

Almost as Hip Hop as promo stickers!!!

Hey!!! There's enough wall and glass there to not run over somebody else's images, man.....
And that's it for now from my over-tired ass!!!
Big ups to everyone I saw between these 2 shows....Far too many to run down the list....But big ups to you yo....
peace.
