Meyhem Lauren got it all day…
The XXLmag.com features article on the lifestyle is giving shine to the younger heads coming up in the game.
Jose Hustle is a young cat from down south who became an Internets Celebrity with his ‘Been Had _____’ meme videos.
I see that shorty been had that Polo, but then I had to ask Jose Hustle just how ‘LO he could really go…
Lastnite on the Combat Jack Show, Complex Magazine’s Editor-In-Chief Noah Callahan-Bever was kicking it about some of his favorite comicbook artists. He mentioned Todd McFarlane and Rob Liefeld as his heavy influences in the genre. I’m more a fan of older generation artists like Neal Adams, John Byrne and Frank Miller, but when I think of the newer generation artists whose work I enjoy I look at Adam Warren.
Warren was the dude who adapted the Dirty Pair into a comicbook series. His artwork is heavily directed by anime and manga illustrations. I appreciate it for the graffiti compositions I see inside of it. Warren acts as a storyteller in a similar fashion and retains a frenetic storyline to match his storyboards. I’m excited to see he has done a series with Marvel’s Iron Man character titled ‘Hypervelocity’.
I’m gonna copp the trade on Amazon unless someone has read it already and tells me that I shouldn’t bother.

BluCheezTV is back on they Kid Cudi shit.
Special thanks goes out to DJ Franchise for mailing me this Boba Fett hoody before I sent him a payment for it. That is what I meant by true believers.
This fanboy video is really a dedication to my mom and my dad who raised me in Corona Queens just walking distance from the 7 train, Flushing Meadows Park and LaGuardia Airport. They gave me the space to dream about outer space.

Hip-Hop still has the ability to surprise me after all of these years. It’s still confident and boisterous letting you know it is in the building. It’s still trying to come up, by hook or crook. And it is still so New York, and by that I mean Brooklyn.
Last night Joell Ortiz hosted a Hip-Hop homecoming at the legendary nightclub S.O.B.’s with a few hundred of his friends and two of the hottest rappers in the streets. Sean Price and Troy Ave came thru to represent for their respective parts of Brooklyn.
This show was so Hip-Hop there might have been only two chicks in the building. One of them being Sean P’s wife, Mz.B. The other was some sloppy drunk white chick. In the NYC I grew up in this chick would be sporting a buck fifty on the morning after but NYC now is way more forgiving of disrespectful people. Hell, even Giuliani was voted in twice.
As much as Hip-Hop needs the arthouse aspirations of a kanYe West to aid in its global growth it still needs the underground artists like Joell Ortiz and Sean Price that give back to the culture by returning to it’s roots in clubs like S.O.B.’s and giving opportunities to young artists like Troy Ave to experience the energy of a sold out live show.
