30 03 2008

If your like me then you like hip hop. I can say that I have been listing to “rap” music for almost 20 years, my first cd was vanilla ice, please get the laughs out now………(side note: my first date with my girlfriend we went to see the ice man at a bar in abbotsford and I tell you it was amazing, got back stage, smoked a j with him, did some e and got pulled over by the police, but I digest) A couple of years ago I used to frequent a site called tha_industry.net, which had tonnes of pirated albums and shit, but the best thing was the mixtape section.

The industry has since been shut down but I have located a new site that is 10000 times better then the others that have come along. It is called MixtapeTorrent.com and it is the shit. There is so much going on here its hard to find some good beats, so I will list my top 5 in the first 30 pages.

Swishahouse

Swishahouse is still one of my favorite labels out there. Mike Jones/Paul Wall/ Slimm Thugg, if these names don’t ring a bell, then search wikipedia for swishahouse records. shit is hard and awesome flow, definitely recommend this one.

DJ 31 Degreez - Texas Massacre 12

I downloaded the first 8 texas massacres on a dialup connnection and loved everyone of them. Chamillionare has the sickest flow I have ever heard and the man cant be touched. Overall 16 tracks is knda lame but 31 degreez has yet to let me down with these albums

DJ UMC & DJ Blazita - 90s Piff

This one is good for me as it has the early stages for me, not too gangsta I would like to be but with 61 tracks to choose from, its a good d/l. Got some wu, biggie, dre and all those busters that made you feel like a pimp.

DJ OP & Fabolous - The Fabolous Life

Chances are you have either heard of Fab or not. If not you have been missing something great for many years. I can say that this artist is as good or better than the illest freestyler on the planet Cassisdy. The hit song “Breathe” was an instant classic and this is sure to keep your system warm and ready for summer.

DJ Vlad, Dirty Harry & DJ Green Lantern - 2Pac Vs Biggie Rap Phenomenon (Special Collectors Edition)(2CD)

This is the find of the day as everyone knows, I am a huge biggie fan. I used to give no respect to 2pac but over the years my tastes have improved and I now listen to a little pac on a daily basis. From the reviews that I have read this is supposed to be one of, if not the best biggie mixes around. I personally have about 14 biggie mixtapes and currently in the works on my own (Macnesa Presents……. Notorious: release date: TBA) so I will be looking forward to hitting this shit up son.





Sunday Afternoon

30 03 2008

Well another sunday has come and gone, but I am still here. I have been doing my “daily” research on digg.com and would like to present the top 5 articles of the day, well at least in my mind:

50 Cent: Blood on the Sand “Blood on the Sand” is something more exotic, more Hollywood blockbuster. This game sets 50’s character against a cabal of international gangsters on a far-flung, bullet-riddled adventure. Hopefully its better than “Bulletproof” which was hard as fuck to play, but now that I think about i was extremely high on drugs so game could have been cool :D

50 cent video game

  Ladies in Copenhagen rejoice !

Feminism some men may argue, has its downsides - particularly when it means they have to share the housework.

But few would protest against the latest victory for women’s rights.

Ladies in Copenhagen will now be allowed to swim and walk around topless in public pools.

As Lil Jon would say………………………….. “Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaah”

Sitka fishermen strike herring mother lode

How about a job grossing half a million bucks in 60 minutes?  That’s what some commercial seine fishermen in Sitka scooped out of the water on Wednesday — in the form of fatty, silvery Pacific herring. I personally think that it will have a negative impact on the environment, but I am not swimming in money like these fucks :D

Top 20 Most Dangerous Vehicles

I first thought this list was about animals left in cars, but turns out that these cars are actually killers. For example, the Nissan (nasdaq: NSANY - news - people ) 350Z has a death rate that’s about double that of the average sports car.

19 Upcoming Horror Movies We’re Dying to See!
