KANYE X JAY-Z

There’s been so much hype on this album, I’m seriously lagging on this but got to share!

“Watch the Throne” is fitting seeing as these Roc Boys have come to be the undisputed heads of what has come to be such a lucrative and marketable empire of hip hop.

With the album artwork by Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy, and the first music video beautifully directed by Spike Jonez (see below), these gents can do no wrong. And no matter how hard I hate on mainstream, I ain’t mad at it. The shits on point. The album has been available on iTunes since the 8th, but you can stream the full album live by clicking the album artwork above or jumping right here. Of course not every track can be a banger, but here’s a heads up: 3, 7, 13, and 16 did it for me!

MY BOTTOMS UP BIRTHDAY

This weekend was finally that big birthday of mine. The few days before the date were feeling extra giddy for me… I still can’t believe I never have to use my fake IDs again! All of this excitement and I was surprisingly not feeling like getting shitfaced. Even though the past two years have been a serious detox, after the majority of my teenage days ended in blacked out oblivion – I now feel no desire to revisit the porcelain god. Fuck debauchery! I want to wake up knowing how I got home and with all the contents of my wallet and purse intact. So we kept it classy… like old ladies.

It started with my man taking me out for  brunch at this amazing spot near our place.

I had some kind of sashimi eggs benedict.
Melted in my mouth and exploded with flavor at the same time!

We had strawberry crêpes. Delightful yummy little things!

Spent the rest of the day lounging on the beach and drinking mimosas…
Still full from brunch, can you tell?!

In the evening we all went for happy hour at Apartm3nt…

And then went to go see Chelsea Lately for her Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang comedy tour! Any single guys reading this should definitely go to any of her stand up shows
ALL CHICK AUDIENCE.

The next night we went to go see Common perform with his live band.

This man is ah-mazing!

The beautiful 3 day weekend ended with a catamaran cruise out of Waikiki

for the Family Dinner video shoot!

DOPE LISTENING

My ears just bit into a beat sandwich. With a mouthful of J Dilla, some sweet morsels of Madlib, and an old school dose of 9th Wonder… I’m drooling. Top that off with some originality, and you’ve got The Stuyvesants. Homeboy living out in NYC virtually introduced me today. My pleasure. I got a link labeled Listen bitch jumping directly to the The Stuyvesants homepage. A “Brooklyn’s Finest” song greeted me, and it wasn’t the Biggie & Jay-Z version either. The track immediately induced head nods, and before the song even finished I had already clicked the “download” link to the entire album.

Oh yeah… and it’s FREE.99

Check diss shit. Dudes crates are fucking prime.

IT’S A REMIX…

Can you dig the sampled sounds of Snow White remixed, reshuffled, and refitted into a soaring trip-hop beat? LOVES IT!

HI HIP HOP

Slow posting these past few days due to such a beautiful weekend! On Friday I went to see the Tempo perform at an indie hip hop festival. Dope MCs and live bands kept the flow into the night, and of course it ain’t a hip hop show unless there’s a fight, right? Amidst all the music madness mayhem, I took some photos to share.

B Cap and Alex flew in and came straight to the event! Tempo Valley at the table with Bretren, Jaime, and yours truly… Miss Tree!

A reunion! The Tempo fam at JJ Dolans for a pizza pub dinner before the show.
Showin some Halloween faces, guys!

Miss Demeanor? Hah! … I’MPOSTER!

There was live art next to the live music…

Tempo Valley featuring Creed Chameleon

You can also find Creed in the Dissizit! SS11 catalog

Oh! And more weekend awesomeness… The Giants turned burned the Phillies to roaches! But I’ll save that love for the next post…
