B-boys Beware

Be careful of who you battle...

It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you, without a dope post to read through...

With Dr. Dre and Eminem set to drop albums this year, 2009 promises to be a gargantuan year for hip hop music. The most anticipated album with a 2009 record release date as far as I was concerned, is Mos Def's forthcoming album The Ecstatic. This was before Nas & Damian Marley recently announced the details of their collaborative effort Distant Relatives set to release in late June. OMG! The Greatest MC, arguably, and the coolest Marley offspring, maybe, on one record. The record hopes to fuse hip hop and reggae and provide commentary to some of the social issues surrounding Africa. Imagine what it would sound like:


Road to Zion - Damian Marley


Purple - Nas


Welcome to Jamrock - Damien Marley


Warrior Song - 9th Wonder


Khaki Suit - Bounty Killer/Damian "Junior Gong" Marley/Eek-A-Mouse

And just because:

Mos Def - Flowers - The Ecstatic avail 6/9/09


Your pal,

what the fuck

Here is the description for the Stimulus Package for the uci elections. Read it in all its bullshit.

"Do you approve an increase to the Associated Students fee by $15 per student per quarter and the creation of a $10 per student per quarter Student Activities fee effective Fall Quarter 2009 to support programming, student organizations and services?

33% of the Associated Student fee increase and 33% of the entirety of the Student Activities Fee will return to UC Irvine to help meet the financial aid needs of undergraduate students.
After return to aid, 20% of the Student Activities fee will be used to fund Greek Education & Leadership, 20% will be used to fund the Multicultural Programs Committee, 30% will be used to fund Student Media and 10% will be used to fund Campus Organizations Support, Community Engagement Activities and LGBT Support respectively.
Neither fee will be assessed during the summer sessions.
If this referendum is approved and implemented, the Associated Student fee would be $33 per student per quarter effective Fall Quarter 2009.
The UCI Stimulus Package fee will be increased annually based on the California Consumer Price Index (CPI) starting in Fall 2010."

Why does the Greek system need more money? If they can sponsor buses to their events, flyer on ring road, charge hundreds of dollars for dues then why do they get 20 percent of the package? I understand that philanthropy is important but there are other focus caused campus organizations. So why then would they receive 20 and "campus organizations receive 10?" UCI's majority are not affiliated so why do they get one of the largest chunks. go away stimulus package

Man in the Iron Mask



MF DOOM (aka DOOM, aka Metal Face, aka Viktor Vaughn, aka Zev Love X, aka King Geedorah, aka The Supervillain) dropped his new album - Born Like This a couple weeks back. I picked it up recently and I must say it’s pretty satisfying. DOOM once again comes correct with his raw impeccable flow, unusual style, and dubious yet creative metaphors. The overall production is well rounded. This time around, DOOM brings in Dilla, Madlib, Jake One, and even some of his own work. Raekwon and Ghostface even come in to grace the mic on a couple tracks. I especially love the implied stabs at Lil Weezy’s auto-tune ridiculousness. Love him or hate him, DOOM is in my opinion, one of the best MCs today when it comes to raw talent. I mean who else can rhyme “Ball skin” with “Spalding” ? The album cover looks like it was photoshopped in two minutes though. Go cop.
