The beauty of a blog is that once it is created, it never goes away (unless it is deleted), so if nobody knows I have one and only 3 people read it everyday or people do the usual and read something without leaving a trace of them having been their only later to tell you word for word the content of your blog or a lyric from your song. Argh! Now that's frustrating. I wish I could hand everyone in the world a copy of Tailgating but I can't. Some folks will catch on later. Shit, it will probably be a cult classic in 2049. With all that being said let me allow myself and Zilla Rocca to reintroduce himself and his CD, "Bring me the Head of Zilla Rocca". It's definitely worth the listen. guarantee there are songs on there everyone will enjoy regardless of hip-hop genre preference. (i.e. crack or back pack or mandex, etc.) He put together a dope little video with a backdrop that resembles a late night television show hosted by Conan O'Brien or some guy. Shouts to Jimmy Giambrone the young Nigel Barker slash James Cameron of Dangerous in Public.
I ran into the IIourshow Nigahrazzi and we had a nice little chat about music, performance, Obama and more. Check it out.
Also peep the video Thor TV put together for "North Philly" feat. DJ Bedtyme 357 off "Tailgaing: The 3 Second Rule"
Shout outs to Jason and Ian for the video footage. Check out Sico Syrus of Inasirkl Music Group killing it at the Beats on the Beach conference in Miami, Florida brought to you by iStandard, Inc. and DBHH Management. I fell back and let my fellow Philly representative do his thing and he murdered it. Check for Siconomics 2.5 coming real soon with the Spit it for Philly Remix featuring 2ew Gunn Ciz, Reed Dollaz and E Ness. Free the Queen. You see the shirt suckas!
I have not been this excited about a movie since... since... um, like Menace to Society! The movie stars Jamal Woolard aka Gravy, (yes the dude who got shot in the ass) Angela Bassett and Derek Luke. The trailer looks sick. I think I will really be able to get into the whole Gravy as Big thing once I sink into my seat at the theatre. I might even get dressed up and take a date to this one. Let me know what you guys think of the trailer.
After the Daily Conversation promo spot with the Time Life infomercial feel and P giving the "so so" I noticed that Torae had a knack for creating creative visuals... now being as though I count the young vet as an ally since our days on the showcase scene, I had to post this and give it a nomination for creative vid of the year. The UMA's and that dude who runs it better make a category just for this... and he better win for free. Fuck it. Givew my man a check and nominate this shit for a VMA.
Hey guys!
I rap if you didn't notice the extremely long post of performance videos or the latest September video (Yo!Adrienne waddup!) posted below. Before I was an emcee I was a fan though and I continue to be a fan of hip hop as well as other genre's of music excluding most country (sorry Dad).
Nowadays when I express distaste in other music besides my own, people tend to figure me as a hater. Oh no. Not the "H" word. Yes the "H" word. Someone decided that once you record a song you know longer can have an unbiased opinion of others music. Well to quote my own self "before I picked up a pen niggas was wack".
I do however have some of the dopest homies in the industry both signed and unsigned and I do enjoy many other groups and individuals on the scene currently. I guess it is my responsibility as a blogger in the Peter Parker sense (thanks Uncle Ben), to use my powers for the good of music, my chosen love and profession. With that being said, I introduce my crew to you. When I say crew, I mean cats who would let me sleep on their couch or vice versa.
These are people who I've taken 4 am trips from NY back to Camden to catch the train across the bridge home (I see you Big Lou) with after shows. People I've taken weird road trips to Rhode Island with. People I've had lunch with in San Diego while annoying chicks wouldn't shut the hell up! (Distant i wanted to kill that jawn!) We've almost been mangled by pit bulls with retarded owners at Venice Beach. I would fu*k you up for these people.
Don't get it twisted.
Also please let the spiders of google lock this into the annals of internet history. The Rap Pack is officially born. With that being said, the rest of you can officially die. In no particular order I give you Distant Starr and Al Mighty of Magr, Zilla Rocca and Nico the Beast of Clean Guns and myself, the man, the myth, the rap Vincent Chase, 2ew Gunn Ciz. *cue the horns, gun shots and belly dancers with grapes* More on that later.
So where do I start?!?!?
Oh, I know where to start. Let's start with a member of the Rap Pack. Since he just released a mixtape; a mixtape you say? Yes a mighty mighty mixtape entitled "Bring Me the Head of Zilla Rocca", my Beat Garden bredren, Clean Guns cousin and fellow Philly Gun Club member, Zilla Rocca, producer extraordinaire, rookie of the year blogger and seriously underrated emcee has been making more noise on the blog circuit than Peter trapped in the body of Jesse, the new aged Banshee.
Not only is Mr. Rocca a sharp dresser, but he also put together one of my favorite joints of the year so far. I say that not because of our homie status, but because its true. He's like a brother and we would all tell our brother if he sucked now wouldn't we? Yep so check his blog out. Check his myspace and try to find him on facebook (you stalkers!) and download his damn tape. Its hot fiyah.

ENJOY!!!!
