I don’t have anything else to say here.

I’ve been championing Drake as a dope lyricist and songmaker since last summer. This it not to say that I am any sort of authority as I am clearly a Johnny-arrive-lately but what I am saying is that people call him overrated and poppy and such – I disagree. Dude can rap.

That said…why is Heartbreak Drake so startled by being flashed by an overzealous female fan?

I won’t comment on what he does further in the video.

Even so I anticipate “Thank Me Later.”

Good catch on staying in the verse after the impromptu “OH MY GOD!”

Some dude edited “Back to the Future” rented out a movie theater for them to show it and used it to propose to his wife.

I love all things “Back to the Future” and I hope she said yes or at least was nice enough to say yes in public.

Once upon a time I had this job and there was this guy that ran the sales floor named Dave.

Dave is a real go-getter. Type A personality type dude.

Dave is also a finisher, the type of guy that will have an idea and actually follow through with it.

“Tall, Grande, or Venti”  is one of Dave’s brilliant ideas outside of the magic he works in sales.

I thought Joell Ortiz’s flip of Beamer, Benz, or Bentley into “Nissan, Honda, Chevy” was brilliant.

However this right here takes the Starbucks Marble Pound Cake.

Make sure you show somebody.

Have you heard “Rocky Dennis” yet? You should.

I’m in this video. Shouts to Edukation Athletics for putting clothes on me. Also shouts to the pizza spot that delivered food to the middle of nowhere.

I don’t particularly care that the post I’m about to share with you is from 2007 because if you’re anything like me you haven’t had the time to finish the internet and it’s just one of the best things I’ve ever read.

When I was younger I used to read a lot of comic books. My friend Kofi and I used to draw comic books as well, guest penciling each other’s universes sometimes. We were really into Image comics and even at 12 we knew there was something not quite right with the comics that Rob Liefeld drew. I was never big on any of his Image titles, esp not Youngblood. I always thought his comics were just…mindless violence. Shouts out to Jim Lee he was always my favorite. Kofi was big on Todd McFarlane. Anyway, the homey DJ Hyphen posted this link of these cats at ProgressiveBoink.com clowning Rob Liefeld very heavy on Twitter and I thoroughly enjoyed the read so I figured I’d share it with y’all.

Here’s an excerpt from what you are about to get yourself into:

I’m not an expert on anthropomorphism and I’m the last person to consult when it comes to sexualizing an animal lady, but is the tail supposed to come out of the middle of the butt cheek like that?

And while we’re at it, hey Rob, speed lines are supposed to suggest motion, so you only have to draw them going in the direction of whatever you want to look like it’s moving. You don’t need to draw perpendicular lines across them. Your characters aren’t shitting out ladders when they jump.

Without further ado enjoy: The 40 Worst Rob Liefeld drawings.
p.s. You don’t have to be a nerd to appreciate it you just gotta love watching somebody get ethered

No Comment Necessary.

There’s a lot of stories about Canibus that have fueled his mystique over the years. There’s the one about him battling several members of Wutang and sonning 10 of them before Killah Priest came through and shut it down. There’s one about him doing shows painted silver. And then there’s the one about him being on Smookin’ Groves performing “2nd Round Knockout” with a lion onstage.

I just found it on Youtube. Check out how hugs the lion while he raps.

How much does it even cost to rent a lion?

“I took a lion on tour with me, made him respect authority / smacked him in the head for trying to roar at me”. – Canibus

That dude crazy.

Good afternoon folks!

It’s another one of those lazy Sundays. Actually, being lazy on Sunday is still kinda new to me to be honest. Without a 9 to 5 everyday essentially has the same value so really I have no excuse to take a day off hahha!

Anyway I’m here to tell you about my new video “Drifting with the Tide” ft. Awar. It dropped on Thursday and the song is produced by the homey Vanderslice. The video is directed by Matt Hobbs. The enchanting Lilibeth Perez plays the mermaid and Natalia Estevez plays herself but doesn’t really “play herself”…what I mean is she plays Awar’s girl which she also is in real life hahahhaa. Jonathan Eckels handles both of their makeup. Tony Fazio and a bunch of other heads that who ain’t on my facebook friends list helped out as well. Chum was moral support as well hahahaha. Oh and Awar is driving my car – holla! If you haven’t seen it yet, you can check for it here:

I was thinking that I could explain this but what’s the fun in that? One of the things I love the most about how I write is that different people can get different things from it. It’s like I make jigsaw puzzles and deliver them without the box so you have to come up with your own idea of how it’s supposed to look ultimately or you can figure out exactly what it was to me when I wrote it. Making a video adds a whole new dimension to it though…makes it more definitive…but even so I feel like the video is still kinda open ended…

I said all of that to say this: We’re in a very interactive internet world so instead of explaining it…what I’m gonna do is post the rhyme and you guys can just ask me whatever you want about the verse and video and we can discuss it.

So, let’s see what happens!

Choices are: Sink or Swim her way when trying to follow a mermaid
I’m breathing underwater, didn’t prep for an earthquake
Observe fate, my ship had wrecked in the first place
Caught in the undertow, attempting to turn the tide
Tide turned to a tsunami, sucked in my sunken ghost
Now cursing my birth date, black holes for star qualities
Converted in flawed alchemy, drowned in “he doesn’t know”s
Really?….Fuck it though
Love ahoy and it’s first rate right, or was it a “must avoid?”
The tip of the iceberg, stuck from the Crux of Joy
Nosedives from so high, water morphed to concrete
Lovebirds take flight, only to crash soft-ly
Surfs up, Riding the wave despite Moon’s mercy pleas
Combing ore from the ocean floor, but produced Mercury
So until she find a way to come up from the mist
Catch me, drifting away, on water under the bridge

Oh yeah, also feel free to leave feedback on the song and video as well…I very much would like to know what you guys think!

Hit me!

peace

-M-i-C to the K-!-N-G

p.s. Feel free to post the video and share it…that’s what we made it for hahaha
