Any blogger can tell you that it's pretty easy to fall behind in your posts. Throw in a full-time job, frequently tearing up DC basketball courts and a rager lifestyle during the weekends and you get the idea. I did, however, need to make it back to get the word out about my boy A.Ware's most recent project, is Lady Heroin. It dropped yesterday and it's really sick. A.Ware and the team at Greedmont Park have been doing some pretty ill things as of late. Listen or DownloadLady Heroinhere.
I'm finally making it back to Atlanta next week. Although it's for work and only a couple of days (Tuesday & Wednesday), I'm mad excited to make it back down to the A. If we consider ourselves friends you probably have my phone number, BBM, Twitter, whatever. If you don't, no worries. I can be easily found at these places:
Tin Lizzy's
Morehouse
Moe's & Joe's
Probably Tin Lizzy's again
And that's pretty much it.
I'm only in town for a few days so hit me up if you're down for a light to moderate [to extreme] rage session.
I'm taking a short break from asamp was right so that I can get settled in D.C. This should be the supreme unjealous and I'm glad to finally make it out here. Atlanta was fun but it's time for a new chapter.
Jay West has teamed up with Decatur Dan and Phil the God for a video preview for his Drugs+Candy mixtape, due next week. Going from his past music and from the clips in the video, this is some music that we need. Check it out:
I'll be posting some mp3's as the release date approaches. Shouts to Wayne for the heads up.
Annnnnnd the lovely lady from the Language video was present. She is QUITE snookish.
J.Cole will be in town tonight performing at The Loft [Center Stage.] If you're in Atlanta, don't tweak. For a sample of what he might do tonight, check his freestyle for the XXL's 2010 Freshman list:
I don't know what to say. Seriously, I'm at a loss for words. And that doesn't happen often. We started the week by losing to the "worst team in NBA history" then follow it up by getting DRUG by the Hawks in Atlanta. This makes no sense. We're the third most valuable team in the league and we're still performing like this. We've actually lost our last four games to the Cavs, Raptors, Nets and Hawks. It's embarrassing, really. So after this week of disappointments, I'm continuing my ongoing push to get Lebron to Chicago next year. Why go to the Knicks?? Don't go to sorry ass New Jersey. Come to the historic Chicago Bulls. I mean, either you or Chris Bosh. #kanyeshrug
Once again...this shit's not gonna cut it.
We play the Warriors tonight and I really can't take a 5th straight loss.
So yeah, I can't be the only person treating this game like the true National Championship. The SEC Championship is being played today at here in Atlanta with #1 Florida playing #2 Alabama. It's pretty hard to predict this one, but I'm going with Florida. Even without dumb ass Carlos Dunlap I think that Florida's D will be too much. McElroy hasn't really been tested on a stage like this, while Tebow has done this pretty much every year he's played. Mark Ingram's health could be an issue for Bama even though reports say he's going to play. Plus, Trent Richardson's not a bum either. I also feel like the matchup between Julio Jones and Joe Haden will be big also. But like I said, Saban and all, the Tide just won't have enough to beat Florida.
Sorry Bama fans.
But hey, at least you can sit back and imagine this actually happened...
But still, word has it that Thome Yorke from Radiohead has decided to team up with Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers to form a supergroup that has yet to be named. Even without a name this sounds dope to me. The band will start playing together next week and also includes Joey Waronker, Mauro Refosco and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich. It's still unclear whether the band will play original music, Radiohead tracks, RHCP tracks or a combination of them all but with a roster like that, it's hard to fail. When some of their material comes together I'll be sure to post it, but for the meantime I figured I'd post the live versions of a couple of my favorite Radiohead and Red Hot Chili Peppers joints. Ariiite.
Radiohead - No Surprises Live
RHCP - Scar Tissue Live
Imaging if Yorke recruited Dave Grohl for the drums...YIKES.
Also, flicks and videos from yesterday's in-store appearance from Phoenix at Criminal Records are coming later today. Oww.
Big game tonight in Chicago. We have a chance to tie the series at 3 games apiece and force a Game 7 back in Boston. And I think we can do it. Even though it sounds like a Disney movie, the Bulls gain a lot of confidence with every close game we play. And in contrast, the Celtics lose a little. I'm not the kind of fan that's happy with just not getting Piston'ed...I want to WIN. And I believe will will tonight and next game. So what?? And it's gonna be a close one. Three of the five games have gone to at least overtime and one of the non-overtime games was won by a last second shot. If we show up to play, then I'm sure I'll be doing this after the game:
Andyaknowdaaaat.
Now onto the "controversial" foul from Rajon Rondo onto Brad Miller: I think that it was a foul and maybe even a regular season flagrant foul...but a flagrant fould in game 5 of the playoffs with 1 second left?? While I wish the flagrant would have been called, I don't think that the ref would make that call at this point in such an important game. But Rondo did leave Brad Miller's mouth lookin like this. Damn. And after Rondo throwing a punch that connected and getting off, why did Dwight Howard get suspended for Game 6 after throwing an elbow?? That's messed up. With that being said, I'm sure that the next person to commit a flagrant foul in this serious will definitely be suspended....if he doesn't play for the Celtics.
[Note: I know you saw Josh Smith's ass try to get that under-the-legs dunk during last night's Hawks/Heat game. Not only did he miss it, but he gave the ailing Heat even more motivation Wtf.]
