Artist(s) of the Week: Fresh Daily

-I was really impressed by the Super Friends track back in 08'; and since then I've kept my eye on most of those artists including this particular one Fresh Daily.. Over the years he has been very consistant and never ceases to amaze me. With great production and a super chill flow that blend together into pure dopeness. His newest (FREE) album Mothership/L A N D is one of my favorite releases of this year.

*Here's a couple of tracks of his new album.

UFC 118: BJ Penn Vs. Frankie Edgar 2 [RESULTS]

*WOW,, as you can see I cought the fight on my computer via online stream.. I Know I'm CHEAP lol. Well Frankie Edgar (White Trunks) proved himself yet again but re-defeating the future Hall of Famer BJ Penn (Black Trunks) with a great display of athleticism, showing no signs of ever slowing down throughout the fight. While Penn on the other hand, might have just showed us how he is just not the same GREAT explosive fighter that he once was. All in all I'd say it was a good fight, I have new respect for Frankie Edgar, but still I expected more diversity from BJ Penn, at least more kicks and take downs, but again just like most of his recent fights, he relied heavily on his hands, which I think Penn is still one of the best if not the best boxer in the UFC, but that might have been what had costed him the fight.

*RESULTS:

Lightweight Championship bout: Frankie Edgar [WIN] vs BJ Penn (via Decision)

Heavyweight bout: Randy Couture [WIN] vs James Toney (via Submission)

Middleweight bout: Demian Maia [WIN] vs Mario Miranda (via Decision)

Lightweight bout: Kenny Florian vs Gray Maynard [WIN] (via Decision)

Welterweight bout: Nate Diaz [WIN] vs Marcus Davis (via Submission)

Senior DAZE..

*So school officially started for me this week and as far as classes go, I actually enjoy them. Although my school had some changes over the summer its pretty much all the same..wack.. Before school started I just had to ask myself "I'm about ready to start my final year of High School, and move on to bigger and better things" (?). And by the end of the first day of school, I immediately came up with the answer, YES...But I still cannot believe how my life is flew by. One day I'm in Kindergarden, the next thing you know I got to start looking for a job, and by tomorrow I'm gonna be taking my own kids to school lol (scary).. Most of the time when I think about that, I get mixed feelings. Most of the time I ignore it and move on, but there's times when it hits me. With summers not feeling much longer than school weekends, and just how time really flys by. But still, I really did enjoyed what I had. Overall I've had a pretty decent Life up to this point I guess...But idk, I guess I took in what one of my coaches said to me over the summer too seriously. "Enjoy this summer as much as you can because after High School, that's when life starts.."Summer" isn't "Summer" anymore, its just another day."

*SCHEDULE 2010-2011 (for now?..)*

Freestyle Friday: Biggie Smalls

-DOPE freestyle from the Brooklyn Legend when he was about My Age.

Artist(s) of the Week: Gnarls Barkley

-The "Super-Group" consists of Cee-Lo Green of Goodie Mob and again Super-Producer Brain Burton aka Danger Mouse (one of my Fav. producers EVER)...One of Danger Mouse's best collaborations similar to Broken Bells,, Cee-Lo's soulful vocals with incredble Danger Mouse production create a very unique and enjoyable sound. When I first discovered them back in middle school, that was when I really opened up my ears and started listening to more varieties of music. I really enjoyed both of their REALLY DOPE albums and can't wait to see another album in the works.

*Hit the jump for more music from both thier albums PLUS MORE.

* Gnarls Barkley - Crazy [Off debut St. Elsewhere]

Just Because: Uptown

-In honor of one of my Fav. songs off Bun B's latest 5 Mic album, I thought I'd post one of the first collabs between these two artists, also one of my Fav. tracks..which is off of Drake's critically acclaimed mixtape So Far Gone...I Swear everytime these two collab, the outcome is fucking dope!..Can't wait to hear more from both of these VERY DOPE artists.

* Drake - Uptown (Feat. Bun B & Lil Wayne)

VideoPortrait: Kanye West - POWER

-When I first caught this on after Jersey Shore last night on MTV, I did not know what say afterwards other than "what the Fuck did I just watch.?"...although I was impressed by the imagery, I still did not know what the meaning of it all, but I knew it all obviously had something to do with Power....In case you want the full detailed breakdown of the video, you can visit here...The video portrait was Directed by Marco Brambilla (Demolition Man...awesome)...Off Kanye West's 5th studio LP Good Ass Job Dark Twisted Fantasy.?
*Kanye West - POWER (Feat. Dwele)

And the next 5 MICS goes to....

-So its been about 5 years since the last time the prestigious 5 Mic review was given by The Source, the last one being given to Lil Kim's The Naked Truth (making her the first Female' MC to recieve the award)...As you can see by the nominees above, the competition looked pretty solid, but The Source has finally crowned it's next 5 Mic album, and that is Bun B's latest solo album, Trill O.G.. | To tell you the truth I'm not mad at all by their decision, I bought Bun's Last two albums and loved them..And I Recently took a Listen to his Latest effort, Trill O.G., and by far was the best of his solo career and is somewhat worthy of being in the ranks such as Illimatic & The Blueprint..I mean if anything I feel that this guy deserves to have a 5 Mic rating just as much as anybody else. Years of killing it, showes that it was bound to happen, Congradualtions. But still I feel that they still did not give The Roots' How I Got Over & Eminem's Recovery the proper credit that they deserve (5 Mics!!!)....In case you are confused about the 5 Mic rating system READ HERE.

*Here's a few REALLY DOPE cuts from Bun's latest 5 Mic album, Trill O.G.

What's Else Do I Need.?

-So school's just right around the corner now..I took a couple trips to the mall this summer, along with other stores around town & online shopping, and so far I picked up some jeans, cargos, chucks, polos, t-shirts..and right now im thinking, "what else do I need?" well I think know that I need a new belt, new hats, maybe more polos?, some new J's wouldn't hurt, all while i'm trying to prepare for my last year of high school..idk I think I might be good FOR NOW..maybe i'm exaggerating.

Artist(s) of the Week: Ratatat

-I've been following these dudes for a little while now but I didn't start to take them seriously until I heard the cuts they produced for KiD CuDi's Album, Man On The Moon: The End Of Day, which were incredible. Although there tracks do not have vocals the music speaks for itself, there recent album, LP4, dropped in June this summer. Even though a lot of their beats sound pretty similar but their still very DOPE producers.

*Hit the jump for some pretty fresh cuts off their newest album plus the tracklist & MORE.
