THE GET GOT

Note to self: Get with a Mexicana, make a baby, and feed said baby steak and spam. Then, put aforementioned baby in a music video and watch all the money pour in.

Yo last night was nayners! Almost every important person in the Seattle Hip-Hop scene came to celebrate Sosa’s Birthday at Cin-Cin.  This kid is definitely loved in the Seattle music community. It was myself, DJ Kenji, and Astronomar holding it down on the decks.  While Thee Satisfaction, BlesOne, Miguel Rockwell, Fever One, 10-4 Roger, Pho-Sho, B-Geezy, Benadrill and a whole slew of musicians came to show their love.  Even Digable Planets were there – not to mention Gucci Suede from Camp Lo sayings wassup during my set.

Happy Birthday Sosa!

My favorite Teddy track:

Snoop is a G. I can’t really say that I can relate to 99% of his songs,  but  I think its dope when he comes up with love songs like “Beautiful” and this new joint with Brandy and Pharell.

I have never been so outraged in my life!
As you may all know NBC has confirmed to shift around their late night schedule moving Jay Leno’s horrible show to the 11:00 slot, while pushing Conan’s newly inherited Tonight show to 12:05AM.  NBC execs’ claim that this strategic shuffling will make up for Leno’s falling ratings.  As a response, Conan has then declared that he will resign, with pure class, from the Tonight Show.

This is upsetting because Conan O’Brien is the only good thing on NBC nowadays.  His show is probably the only reason I have for staying up late.  Not to mention he’s paid his dues.  He’s waited almost 20 years to take over this slot!  I will surely miss this man if he were to leave late night.

I’ve never been a fan of Jay Leno.  To be honest, I think his comedy is cheap and quite low-brow. Actually, his show is playing as this entry is being written. I’m trying to see why the network execs have their mouths wrapped around his nether-region – and I can’t tell why! His show is not funny. Either his audience is comprised of a laugh track or they are being forced to laugh.  It’s just horrible!  If NBC decides to make the aforementioned changes, it’s late night ratings will suffer a great loss.  TRUST YOU ME.

Never mind the awesome picture.  Listen to it.

Just give me a funny woman that can rock a t-shirt and I’m set.

If you’re a DJ or a record collector/enthusiast then you know all about the pleasures of digging for vinyl. Sifting through all those dusty crates is our version of treasure hunting. To me it’s one of the most cathartic things you can do. Whenever I have a bad day or just need to clear my mind I try to make it down to my usual (secret) spots. It’s just relaxing.

Yesterday I decided to venture down to one of my favorite spots. As I often do, I moved in for the ‘New Soul Arrivals’ section first. Unfortunately, someone beat me to the position, so I walked around the isle to look through the singles section instead. As I sifted through the crates, I saw a very familiar face digging right next to me. I was trying to figure out why he looked familiar – I’ve never met this dude before! Then it all came to me. It’s CUT CHEMIST!!!

Please realize this dude plays an important role to me and DJ-ing. He’s one of the main reasons why I took up the hobby. His work with Jurassic 5 is one of the earliest reasons why I fell in love with hip hop. It was only normal for me to be awestruck. The only thing I could do was ask him if he was Cut Chemist (He said yeah) no small talk, no signatures. Just exchanged pleasantries and that was good enough for me.

and this is why I love digging.

I cared about a girl as much as this.
