Late Pass: Mac Miller is Dope

So apparently I was sleeping on Mac Miller when I first heard of him last year. His music was straight but just not really polished. But when I stumbled across his new K.I.D.S. mixtape, I could tell he'd improved...a lot. Like a whole lot. It's not mind-blowing, life-changing music, but it's dope to ride to. [As cliché as that sounds.] Being only 18, you wouldn't really expect the dopeness of this mixtape. Still not sure what you're in store for?? Think Mike Posner - the wackness x Wiz Khalifa x Asher Rosh - sounding like Eminem = Mac Miller. And the videos are pretty dope. Check out these from Mac Miller:

Traffic in the Sky // Don't Mind If I Do
Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza
Nikes on my Feet

La La La La

Download the K.I.D.S. mixtape here.

And put your thumbs up.

Screenshots of Michael Jordan in NBA2K11

Yea, this is pretty official. Shots of MJ for 2K11 have been released and they're pretty much amazing. The first is from his rookie season and these bottom two are shots from the famous Flu Game.


Wow.
Dope isn't even the word.

If you're not excited about this game, something might be wrong with you.

Don't Sleep.

Yup.

Summer Songs: Sublime - Caress Me Down

Aight. Summer Song #4 and it's another joint from arguably one of my favorite bands of all time, Sublime. This is one of their lesser-played songs, but it's still a summer classic in my book. It's off of the band's self-titled 1996 album and the song is called Caress Me Down. Classic Sublime shit.

Damn, I just realized........summer's almost over.

Summer Songs: Jadakiss feat. Kanye West - Gettin It In [2004]

More Summer songs. This one really doesn't have anything to do with summer but it pairs up two of my favorite rappers and I've been listening to it most of the summer. It's a collab from Jadakiss and Kanye West off of Kiss' 2004 album Kiss of Death entitled Gettin It In. Off the top of my head, it's one of my favorite funny verses from Kanye. Check it out:

We need more collabs like this.

Oh yea, and Good Ass Job.

Music of the Moment - July 1, 2010

New Cudi. I never get tire of saying that. This joint is featuring my favorite artist, Mr. Kanye West. I'm hoping that this song makes it onto Man on the Moon II. I mean, let's hope so. And I get a late pass because I was at work all day. Check out Erase Me featuring Kanye West.

Summer Songs: Sublime - What I Got

After talking to my cousin Tiffany about some of our favorite summer songs, I figured now would be a good time to start posting some of my favorites that we came up with. Gotta kick if off with What I Got from Sublime. Great song already, but a perfect example of a classic Summer song.
Can't believe this joint is 14 years old.
