The Godfather and I...

This was def a bomb night @ the Hudson Hotel 5 dayz before Xmas with the man next to me ripping the tables for 2 and a half hours, Godfather-Legend Afrika Bambaataa. The crowd was packed and everyone was sweating it out (as they should). BAM threw on some old school Hip Hop along with the break beat for the B-Boys/Girls in the crowd along with some house and 60's r/b soul...crazy and after all that maneuvering through mass amount of his faithful Hip Hop disciples, I managed to step in and get this pic above. It wasn't my 1st time meeting him or dancing to his set and it sure wont be my last! Best believe we gotta get him in our doc or at the least be able to run the idea by him. Video footage to coming soon....PEACE to all my ZULUS! and beautiful people...Peace Love Unity-Have Fun!

Juice in Duetsche!(German)

Yo this is kinda comical when you think about how American movies are translated for other coutries, especially a movie like Juice. Aside from getting a few laughs because of how they translate Q's(Omar Epps) dialogue, its a testament to say that it did/does have a broad appeal other than just North America. Man no matter what language it's in old girl's "gold grill" was wack!

Big Bro Speaks on Hip Hop (Dirty South edition) pt .1

On my trip to "Da Ville" aka Music City, I got a chance holla at my older brother(yes same Mom type of brother) "D". He's a Educator-Photographer in da M-I-S-S and my 1st OFFICIAL tour guide to the culture of Hip Hop as a snotty-nose. He dropped some knowledge on me of how Hip Hop(local crews-clothes-shows) influenced the scene in the Nashville growing up and later on, influenced my friends and me. Dirty South has definitely progressed(thank gawd) since then in regards to the culture but its still not where we think it should be but hey..we def got more than mountains, sweet tea, and country music...fa sho! -K;EZ

Ladies First!

LADIES FIRST.....
Aside from it being A.A.H.M., I think this video deserves some major credit for the imagery and skills of the then pre-mega celebrity, accomplished writer-actor-singer, Ms. Queen Latifah. Also,with the ill skill debut of the UK bred MC Ms. Monie Love, these sistas represented what it was to be a lady in the noble sense and represent to the fullest. I never would've thought Queen would go to these heights of being worldly recognized, but if you really acknowledge the video, is it any surprise really? Enjoy!
