Thunder And Lightning…

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

lightning

Westbrook is the perfect complement to Kevin Durant’s game. He is tough as nails and is fast as lightning. Westbrook ignited the Thunder’s fastbreak by grabbing 8 rebounds by himself. The Thunder are faster than the Lakeshow and the Lakers are one of the leagues top 5 teams. I’m not gonna say the Lakers are in trouble yet, but they are now immersed into a three(3) game series and if they get caught slipping their defeat would be epic.

The key to the Thunder’s victory is that their All-Star doesn’t have to dominate the ball for them to win. The Lakers were blown away with Durant scoring only 22pts on ONLY 12 shots. This isn’t a case of Durant and Westbrook making their teammates play better, but their teammates are extra motivated to bring their intensity up to the level of their superstars. The Lakeshow better find some motivation themselves or they will be on vacation faster than lightning.

G.O.A.T. Cap Rap…

pitt new era

Shouts to VillageSlum‘s Mel D Cole and LTD Mag‘s Hawaii Mike for turning out Thursday nite (the new Saturday).

TanyaMorgan’s DonWill told me the MLB New Era fitted caps that every collector MUST own without question. It’s bigger than Hip-Hop. It’s about where you come from and how you represent. At the end of the day, it ain’t where you are from it’s where you’re hat.

new era

You gotta have the Clemente Pittsburgh alternate just like you have to rock a Yankees joint. It’s called the rap dude uniform. Like Dickies, Chucks and wifey-b’s.

new era

The Atlanta joint goes hard. Shouts to OutKast for making this hat more popular than any Brave can (current Braves, Henry Aaron is still the HR GOAT, natch).

new era

Cleveland’s Chief Wahoo joint has a similar colorway to the ATL joint. This was one of the first 3-D 59/50s back in the day.

new era

You might could imagine that the Dodgers joint stays on top. Crisp and clean as all get out. Classic. Iconic. Timeless.

Big up to Reginald Jackson. This is why some heads say they from the ‘Ay.

new era

The Cincinnati Reds joint is close to DonWill’s heart. I might have a gang of Cincy hats in my archive, mostly to match with all my deadstocked Griffey Max shoes, but the Cincy hat also matches up riderk with your Jordans.

This is one of my fave joints. The red, white and blue is so American. Polo Ralph Lauren does a lot of shit in this colorway and the ‘P’ says it all.

Respect to Thundercracker.

Peace to Polotron, Ambush, Soundwave, Viceberg, Buddah, Gary, ‘Drun, Gardy, Rahiem, Duncan, Colin and all the Whypticons.

This hat design was originally made for a team whose owner skated from Washington D.C. because there were too many brothers moving there.

We still there.

We still here.

Smacking Thunder Out The Lakeshow Moufs…

KD, Westbrook and the rest of the Thunder enjoy that home cooking.

29 pts – 19 boards

But better than all of that was an MVP 4th quarter against the best finisher in the Association.

Thunder will get one more joint in this series.

Next year KD will pwn the league.

CLASH OF THE TITANS…

iceland

The above picture was taken during the volcanic eruption in Iceland. Lighting strikes where the Earth has opened a wound. Who hangs around to photograph shit like this? White, natch.

Who would win in a fight of lightning versus lava? Or the internets versus ninjas? You decide here…

‘Just To Get A Rep’


‘Check The Technique’


‘Who’s Gonna Take The Weight?’

All you need to know about Guru from Gangstarr is that one night at Mars nightclub during a TRIP party a brawl breaks out in the rap room and Guru grabbed the mic to settle people down. He had an unmistakable voice that was raspy and rough. He instantly garnered the respect of an OG with his voice and his rhymes. The fact that his rhymes were about the truth is why he is a legend.

Gangstarr is iconic Hip-Hop because they represent the powerful sounds of the voice and the drum. Just like the Roots are at the essence of everything simply Black Thought and ?uestlove, Gangstarr was Guru and Premier.

God bless Guru’s soul and give peace to his Gangstarr family.

Everytime I hear this song I will have to spit Guru’s verse.
