BEAT JUNKY -- 9TH WONDER EDITION

those who know me know that i'm a beat fanatic. sometimes i hit up Music City in Norfolk just to cop instrumental cd's so i can just hear the beats because i hate struggling to hear a dope beat with a wack nigga rapping over it *cough* DIPSET *COUGH*. so i'm deciding to showcase my favorite beats by some of my favorite producers. this week its 9th Wonder and these are some of my fav "NINFE" joints. next week......Premo.....

G-DEP -- STAY UP

i stumbled across this track last this weekend after seeing it on a site about 2 weeks ago. now, after his lackluster efforts from Bad Boy, i was like "eehhh, i'll pass on this" but due to boredom on saturday, i decided to at LEAST play the track so i can get a good laugh and i was shocked.....this song is actually dope. i don't know what it is but i've played it about 30 times so far. i'm a big fan of songs that make me chill out and this joint puts a niggaz mind at ease. this joint makes me want to go blaze an "L", turn up the iPod and just walk for no reason. i guess he's one of those artists that does better once he "leaves" Puffs control i.e. The Lox and so forth but i'm honestly wanting to see what else this dude has to offer. with the state of this game, he can't bring anything worse than whats already here if you ask me.....

MAYBE NEXT TI....I MEAN, NEVER.....

damn....i don't know what to say to Cowboy fans but....damn.

i know if "I" were gonna play the last game in a historical stadium, i would try my hardest to win. but thats just me. and damn....you lose, not to the Bengals, not the Seahawks but the REDSKINS!!! i mean, imagine had you all won your last game there. can you imagine the happy children and fans who could have said "hey, i was THERE when they won on that historic night.."? but naw, that won't happen. i bet there is a kid in a cancer ward who prayed to God saying "dear Lord, as my white blood cells are decreasing and i am clinging on to life, can you make sure that Tony Romo wins, not only the last game in this stadium, but also probably my last game on earth?"....now this kid is an athiest and smoking crack while IN the hospital. why? because he feels God has failed him. how does it feel to condemn a childs soul to hell Mr. Romo and Owens. and do you know why they are to blame? Because Dallas sucks. thats why. wanna know what happened in the Redskins locker room after that win?


i mean, you can't win EVERY game. i mean its not like the Redskins are your BIGGEST RIVALS who whooped ya ass in your last game in that stadium in front of millions of devoted fans or nothing. i'm glad nobody i know is a Cowboys fan......WAIT...I DO!!! damn Micah and E, hope you don't take this personal but......



i sure would hate to know how it feels to be you guys right now. hahaha. oh, and before you EVEN try to put the TEXANS into this, i'm not a Texans fan.....


UPDATE!!!

hey Micah, i saw ya blog...

"THEM SHITS IS GOIN ON SALE, MANE"....

THIS is when you know that a dude lacks the warm embrace of vagina in his life. seriously. did you hear the "Bitch" come out of him at 0:58? it looked and sounded like dude "seeded" himself. the Penny 2 is probably my favorite shoe as well (going to Footlocker for the first time in my life and copping a pair tomorrow morning) but its not THAT damn serious. now, i know i probably won't wear them until next spring or summer so i can rock some shorts and show them off in all my "chicken legged" glory, but i'm not as excited as THIS negro. i will admit it was funny as hell when he got crunk on the "Vans Guy" and i DO respect the fact that dude is hyped about the shoe because he actually wanted it to wear and not to just because of the hype like 90% of the game today. Thanks alot for that Hypebeast....bitches. but damn dude, pull ya skirt down, fam. and its sad because i know do cats that actually spaz the fuck out like that over damn shoes. now i DID get buck as hell when the Penny Foams came into Commonwealth because it was a suprise, NOBODY in the 7 cities knew who was getting them, and as soon as Larry said "Did yall get the Foams in yet?", the Fedex dude came into the store and it was like a big ass suprise. but come on man, "i love these as much as i love Jesus, as much as i love God......and Kanye West"?! NIGGA PLEASE!!!

MASTER OF THE LUDAVERSE

i used to play this track back in the store and seriously, Luda is one of the most creative rappers in the game from the Austin Powers track to this joint. i mean, damn, he DESTROYS the He-Man theme song for crying out loud. what other rapper could have done it? (and Tommy and E, if any of you mention Nas, i swear to the Most High, i will catch a Red Eye to VA and slap fire out both yall.)

AWWWWWW SHIT!!! REMEMBER THIS, NATO?

MAAAAAAAN!!! This shirt brings back memories!!! aiight here is the story:

its around Fall 2005 in VA and Zack, Renato, and myself were holdin down the store and this girl comes in with a manilla colored envelope and she looks around the store and finally comes up to the desk is gives us the pacakage and says "Its Original David" and damn near bolts out the fuckin store. No name, no nothing. so we open the big envelope and inside is a shirt that looks like something i made back in kindergarten during arts and crafts time and a business card. no website, no line sheet, no label information. JUST THE DAMN SHIRT AND A CARD!!! so, in typical "the three of us are bored as hell, the store is slow and its cold outside so what are we gonna do for the next 10 minutes" fashion, WE WENT TO WORK ON THAT SHIT!!!LMAO!! we added muscles, a fake bape chain, ARMS, an ill fade with the Nas part goin through it and all that shit. i think Kit still has the original "piece of art" that was constructed by Zack, Nato and myself. and to be honest, it looked ALOT better after we got done with that shit.

well, it looks like the guys at Leaders in Chicago, got suckered into buyin that shit. hey, to each his own. but for them to say on their blog "we've been Original David carriers since the beginning and each time we're amazed" had me cryin. yeah, i'm amazed. AMAZED PEOPLE ARE BUYING THIS SHIT!! and then, on their bio, they have a disclaimer: Warning! Side effects include: Making a scene, Mild envy amongst friends, Heightened levels of self-importance. nigga, do you know how hard i laughed at that shit?!

but on a serious note people, we don't do this to EVERY line that people send to the store in hopes of making it "big", just those that go about it the wrong way with NO professionality (is that even a real fuckin word, if not, i'm making it one) and expect us to take them seriously. if you are trying to get your product into stores, stack your money and get a booth at Magic or any of the other fashion gatherings where you can have several people looking at your stuff rather than driving store to store saying "hey will you sell my stuff".

also, before you go around trying to start your own, make sure you have KNOWLEDGE of how its supposed to be done, not how you THINK it should. alot of people think that just because you have a hot idea for a shirt, its gonna make money. wrong. i'm not gonna name any names but there was one line that we used to sell and the guy had ALOT of people wanting his line but he didn't realize that he needed to have the stuff already made BEFORE he even got paid for it and thus, some of the clothes still had CHAMPS tags and stuff in them because he couldn't afford gettin shit done because he didn't expect all that. my advice: work for an actual label first, learn the "ins and outs" of it and THEN go from there. like i always say "you may open overnight, but you will close that afternoon". peace

MY LIFE IS LIKE A SITCOM..

Throughout my life, i have been in and witnessed some of the craziest, unimaginable type of situations and heard some of the wildest shit to ever come out of peoples mouths in my 25 years on Earth. and today just solidified that shit. as i was going to pick up some food for work tonight, i stopped into a local hood spot to get my grub and bask in the "ghettoness" that makes up my city. here is some of the shit i heard today, in the same 30 minutes, that Larry David couldn't even have scripted:

Negro on the phone: "yeah, so i told shawty 'look bitch, when the this dick drops, the bullshit stops!"

"Suburban, Hip hop" youth: "man, Lil Wayne is the prime example of whats wrong with hip hop.".

"Super Urban" youth's response to "Suburban" youths comment: "nigga, you the prime example of a hatin' ass nigga! Get off that niggaz dick and get on ya job, cornball ass nigga!"

EXTREMELY ignorant negro on the phone: "yeah, i went and got her name tattooed on my arm, but that bitch don't realize she gettin dismissed at the end of the month".

7-8 year old black youth: "i want a girlfriend who will take care of me and give me money. thats why i'mma get me a white girl."

man....i love my life...
