Rest In Peace Adam Nathaniel Yauch August 5, 1964 – May 4, 2012
I can’t even begin to describe how influential the Beastie Boys were as a Hip-Hop band. When you look at the bands and artists who founded Def Jam like the Beasties, LL and later on Public Enemy it was clear that some kind of mythical nexus had been formed from the sounds of the South Bronx.
Words become so cheap when legends leave us. I don’t want to lessen my memories by forcing words on to this page. The Beastie Boys are everlasting punk rock funk blues Hip-Hop. They are the hombre habanero version of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They are music. #RIPMCA

Get Ready 4 Combat…

Montreal stand the fux up!
Mount Royal’s favorite deejay A-Trak stopped by the Combat Jack Show. Just Blaze aka The Cheat Code called in to the show from the studio with Hip-Hop Hollywood impresario Ludacris. Benhameen poetry and grooves. Matt Raz news. A-King snooze.
Yeah, your normal dose of weekly Wednesday fuxery.

Gotye: Somebody That I Used To Know
Sunday, April 22nd, 2012
I haven’t been able to turn this Gotye song off in my brain for the past month. It sounds like Sting and Enya yelling at each other.
It’s not the lyrics but the beat that I love so much. And the hook just makes me feel like this would be the dopest ‘Grown Man Rap’ breakup song.
So here’s the plan… I reach out to Sean Price, Dice Raw and Black Thought’s people (all via TWitter) and ask them all to fux with the instrumental version.
The second part of my fiendish rap plan is to get Rah Digga in the middle of this ‘Grown Man Rap’ track. This shit is about to be cataclysmic. Just imagine for a second, Sean Price, Dice Raw, Rah Digga and Black Thought on this joint. Yeah, you just creamed yourself [ll]. I did too.
*Burnout Update*
Internets, this is why you should NOT do drugs. I BEEN listening to this track since Dice Raw smashed it way back in January as his ‘Game Of Thrones’ freestyle. Duhhhh!
The NFL Enters A New Era…
Saturday, April 21st, 2012
Since the 1950s New Era has been the official ‘on-field’ hat for Major League Baseball. When I first got into collecting New Era caps we didn’t call them ‘fitteds’. They were called ‘Pro Caps’ since the only other people with these joints were the professionals who worked in them.
New Era just became the official ‘on-field’ cap for the National Football League. To celebrate their achievement New Era is releasing a series of their classic 59Fifty Draft Day caps with the team cities embroidered on the front of the crown and team logos on the side. The caps come in a box that resembles a formula from the Wonderlic Cognitive Ability test. LOL.
The draftees will wear this cap on the podium this Thursday as the NFL draft gets underway. I wonder who will wear this Buffalo cap on Thursday, Michael Floyd or Riley Reiff?
I can tell you who will be wearing this Dallas cap. Me.
