Late Pass: D/Will’s Cartoon Beat Emporium…

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

late pass

I was doing my thing @ 2DBZ when I came across this post for D/Will’s Cartoon Beat Emporium. I hadn’t seen these previously so I had to take out my internets late pass. I thought this was another project from Tanya Morgan’s Don Will and his crazy Cincinnati Jamaican having six jobs ass.

Nah, it turns out that D/Will is a rapper producer from the Kansas City area (TKC stand up!). He started a project titled Cartoon Beat Emporium where he takes clips from his favorite animated shows and lays his beats over the top of the visuals. Some of his favorite cartoons are some of my favorites also.

The beats that D/Will produced for these clips have some flavor to them. I’m imagining Sean Price going in over some of these joints like the Dexter’s Lab track. These cartoon’s are making me fiend for a big ass salad bowl full of cereal. That and the fact I’m putting this post in the queue and its 2am. And I’m high.

Peep and enjoy…

The Boot Camp Clique Chronicles…

Sean Price – ‘Boom Bye Yeah'(explicit)

In our last Timberland drop the Grand Master asked me if I had a pair of Timbs that I would bring to a cobbler for re-soling. I have already had a vintage pair of elephant skin Iditarod boots given a new sole. I’ll flick up that pair of boots in a few days. Timberland shoes are pretty much indestructible, but when they do fail it almost is unfeasible to repair them. I mean, some of the materials and designs that Timberland uses on their shoes can’t be reproduced by a traditional bootsmith.

I have a pair now that is getting worn down. The style number is #59053. They are a pair of classic Gore-Tex moccasin chukkas. I will definitely try to have these re-soled because the boot upper is too comfortable to give back to Timberland. I’ve been wearing these boots since 1997 and they are broken in so perfect I would hate to lose these. I did a search on the eBay system for these joints in my size and the only pair that came up was in a size 9.5 being traded from London, UK.

You can see from the above image that the moc chukkas have a Gore-Tex lining. The Gore-Tex is actually sandwiched between the leather upper and a calfskin leather inner lining. I’ve worn these boots while camping for days without untying them because they are so comfortable. These are a pair of boots that I will be keeping forever. If I find the all-Black moc chukkas I will be extra good.

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

I swear to y’all that Premium Pete is my crack dealer. Except this ain’t the crack that will have you selling your mom’s TV set to the pawnshop. Then again, you just might. I’ve been a highly functional addict for a long time so we’ll see how I do once I hit rock bottom.

Premium called me up and told me to come thru his shop to preview the most recent SB flavor that dropped. I don’t really fux with any Dunks that aren’t SBs. The Nike SB brand uses the best materials and color compositions. It’s like they time their releases also to be lined up with the current things going on around us.

As soon as I walked into the shop these joints caught my eye. And with the Mets’ pitchers and catchers[ll] reporting to spring training this week it all made sense. How could these Dunk Premiums NOT be called ‘Los Metros’? The orange suede sets them off. Pete made a great point to me that these Dunks rep for the Knicks as well as Syracuse(slightly) but mostly the royal blue and true orange describes a New York state of mind.

I love Spring Training in beisbol and preseason in just about every sport because your favorite team is still undefeated ad losses in the preseason don’t count anyhoo. The possibilities are endless. This is when I dust off the old Rusty Staub batting glove and don my Dave Kingman throwback t-shirt. I may even take a trip on opening day out to the big ball orchard in Corona.

Speaking of baseball stadiums…

The Internets Celebrities are wrapping up their shooting on Stadium Status. It’s a movie about really big buildings that mostly sit unoccupied. You’re gonna love it.
