Stylin’ On ‘Em Since…

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

The first actual baby shower I have ever gone to was yesterday. I’m trying to remember why I never went to a baby shower. I know girls that have had babies. I have even gotten girls pregnant. Those women ultimately did the smart thing and terminated those seeds. I’m a liitle sad that I’m such a selfish man. I will prA’li die alone. Suffocated by shoeboxes.

One time I had a beautiful girlfriend who let me style her in the flyest sample shit and other outfits that I found in thrift shops or wherever. She was a stallion tho’. You have to let a stallion run wild. You can’t put them in a cage. I wanted her to be my own private mannequin. Part of the thing that I loved about her was how she would walk into a room and shut shit down.

I also loved that niggas felt some kind of way that my bitch was badder than theirs. My problem is that I’m too selfish. Everything I do is about me. Most people eventually get tired of neurotic, controlling, maniacal personalities. Maybe I do that to folks so that they can leave me the fux alone. I don’t need to date a woman. I need to marry a mannequin.

UnKut: Best Mixtape Of 2010…

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

counterstrike tracklist

You might’a caught this joint already if you fuxes with Nah and the DopeBoyz. Even OhWord had the link to this compilation posted earlier this week. Queens get the money better late than never. UnKut is the reason for THIS blog. Shouts to Jerry and Hydra Entertainment.

From Queensbridge projects up Queens Boulevard to Sutphin and the southside, Robbie even has the Rockaways on lock. If you are from Queens and you rap, and Robbie doesn’t have your tracks you might have to move to another boro. The Counterstrike compilation features some of Queens best emcees and is curated by UnKut.com and is hosted by the bouncemaster DooWop.

Killa Sha appears on tracks and earns his posthumous props that he thoroughly deserved when he was here with us. The joint with ShaLoomie and G Rap is one of my favorite songs of 2010. Screwball’s KL, CNN’s Capone and even more QB Queens flavor. I still can’t believe Robbie does his .mp3 crate digging all the way across the globe in Australia. UnKut.com is the internets foremost rap paleontologist. This mixtape plays like an underground Hip-Hop archaeological find.

Before you pick up the Consequence ‘Movies On Demand’ mixtape make sure you DL the Counterstrike compilation for all that good retrograde Queens rap shit.

Clone Wars Is Star Wars Crack…

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

star wars

The Clone Wars series on Cartoon Network is better than I expected it to be. After the Clone Wars feature film a couple of years ago I slept on this series beinbg developed by Cartoon Network. I wanted it to be bloodier and more ruthless. The series is set in the Star Wars universe in between the timelines of episode II ‘Attack Of The Clones’ and ep. III ‘Revenge Of The Sith’.

As the Separatist vs. Republic war rages on we start to see the chinks in the Republic’a armor. The Jedi Knights are under duress spread far and wide across the universe. Old rivalries are rehashed and the battle lines are drawn. I watched an episode where the Mandalorians were building up their war machine again after several generations of seeking peace, productivity and prosperity. You even get to meet Obi Wan’s girlfriend.

Clone Wars is a fantastic ret-conning of the Star Wars universe that is good television programming for any level of Star Wars fan. I’ve recently been on a clone trooper binge so I am enjoying watching these characters be introduced and placed into their respective roles for the story. I know how the story progresses but watching the details unwind is the best part.

If you are a Star Wars fan I know I don’t have to tell you to watch this show, but if you aren’t totally a fan of the SW storyline you will still enjoy the action and the next generation computer graphics imaging used for the animation.

Footprints In Fort Greene…

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

The red area in the image above describes the footprint of the Atlantic Yards development site. It stretches from Atlantic and 4th Avenues all the way east to Vanderbilt Avenue. As wide as Atlantic Av to Dean Street in most parts for a total of 22.5 acres overall. Simply put, the site is GINORMOUS.

The Internets Celebrities have visited several completed sports complex sites in Yankees Stadium and CitiField but the Atlantic Yards site makes those others pale in comparison considering the amount of humanity that is being displaced just to get the project underway.

We brought some good focus and determination to our shooting in and around the AY perimeter last weekend. The pic above is the IC Illuminati hand grip. It can only be done in a threesome [ll]. Actually, you need to really orgy it out otherwise no one could take the pic. Shouts to Ian Savage on the lenses.

Cas posted a drop over at IC.com about the shoot.

‘Stadium Status’ is proceeding lovely if too slowly for some of the internets liking, but I feel like we are the truth on slow boil. The simmering truth if you will.

chea

Consider that in San Francisco, one of the places where the IC’s have won a film festival, a McDonald’s franchise has poached the idea of the Futuristic Brunch. We don’t sweat the swaggerjacking tho’ because as your fave futurists we was already on to the next.

Ghetto Big Mac III will begin filming as soon as we wrap up ‘Stadium Status’. I think it will be the best film you ever watched about McDonald’s. I’m hoping we can get Grimace to make a small cameo [ll]. McD’s is reportedly laying off all their ‘gender neutral’ characters. The Fry Guys are getting the ax as well. Turns out one of the guys was actually a girl with a strap on. I’m gonna give a long, hard look at the longest fry in the pack now.

We have a another small project in the planning stages as well. We may even do a short on why you shouldn’t try to cut your own hair? BTW, ICs FTW.

CHEA!

FOXY BROWZ…

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

foxy browz

I read an iHipHop article about Foxy Brown and Ron Browz working together in the studio and my mind immediately lit up.

Can you imagine a reality show with crazy ass Fox Boogie and the auto-tuned one hit wonder Ron Browz?

rantwit

These two meatballs would try to start a business. An eyebrow threading salon in Harlem called ‘Foxy Browz’. I think they would have to put some African chicks in there to do braiding as well. Of course, they would have a recording studio in the back.

So where do I go to when I have these moments of unmitigated pop culture creativity? TWitter, natch. This is where I like to go to ruminate on issues of the day.

rantwit

Or whatever shit just pops into my head [ll].

rantwit

But mostly I just talk my shit. To be perfectly 1000 with y’all, TWitter and the loss of my video camera is the reason this blog fell the fux off.

140 characters (spaces included) >>> 600 word drops

Maybe that isn’t entirely the truth, but TWitter is globalized text message catharsis and trust me that you will want to be on TWitter when the Oscars are awarded. Watching an awards show while logged on to TWitter is like sprinkling your Newport 100 with cocaine. That shit turns into a 1000000millie.

rantwit

If you tried to follow me on TWitter using the sidebar on this site you would have wound up at my previous TWit ID. I change them joints like my underwear. Okay, I change my drawls more often, but I keep it moving on TWitter. You can find me now @Rant_Sum, but I am already preparing my latest TWit ID – @Google_Blax. I’m saving that shit tho’ for the return of the Blax Headroom show.

Just know that I keep my priorities posted.
