VIDEO: Michael Jackson (Live)

Legendary performance that he put on at Motown's 25th Anniversary show. This is the one that blew him up to superstar status. Recognize a show stopper when you see one!! Really though, "Billy Jean" is straight rediculous in this clip.

A few stats from the Thriller album:

*Highest selling album of all time--worldwide, estimated as high as 109 MILLION. Albums. Sold. Still does 130k a year to this day. Better than most rappers.

*Had 7 Billboard number one records off this album. There were only 9 songs on it.

*Won 8 Grammys, 3 MTV music video awards, and countless other recognitions.

Wow.

NYU Student Riot: Students List Demands for Bill Disclosure and Support for Palestinian Students in Gaza Strip

Wow...my school is on the riot tip again. Who didn't see this coming?! Really though I saw this going down yesterday afternoon from the library, no idea it was going to turn into something this big. Get it iiiiin fellas. Guess the core group of students got expelled, here is a blurb about what is going on:

[Democracynow reports "NYU Students Occupy School Cafeteria Here in New York, several dozen student activists have barricaded themselves inside a cafeteria at New York University. The group Take Back NYU has submitted several demands, including the establishment of a socially responsible committee, a full disclosure of the schools annual budget and support for Palestinian students in the Gaza Strip. Student: The first two orders of the socially responsible finance committee will be an in-depth investigation of all investments in war and genocide profiteers, as well as companies profiting from the occupation of Palestine. "

Wanted to throw this up to exibit my homemade Bandana Heart (see lower right). Bad pic but I was in a hurry, dig?

The weekend was wonderful, although I was the victim of some predatory behavior, word to S****a, she was cute with it though. Sometimes the love cannot wait, don't hesitate.

Things are going well for the triumvirate though, been going hard out in NYC, an can't wait for my brothers HY and TH to touch down next week. HY skipped the dreads, TH supposedly got a flat-top these days, and I been growing the du out as you can plainly see. 6 years with a shaved head an now I'm catching a few more dreams with the hawk up. Holla.

Birthday next week...so much else going on but I would rather do it cold turkey and have you wake up one day an see your boys somewhere you never thought you would see them. Suprise suprise the sleeves are deep and so is the repetoire.

P.S. Hey Ma. I miss my car.

While we're on the topic...we present to you GMK's new single "College Girls" buzzing it's way around the country at the moment. Take a quick listen, do what you're told an request it!! It's hot--but it takes a dedicated fanbase to make it happen! Hold your boy down while the levee breaks.

Vans Owen Hi LS

The J-O inspired Owen Hi LS just dropped avaliable over @ Grip for a heavy $180. I'm feeling them though, cept I would never pay that for something so close to the 5's..! Might as well just cop a pair of J's.

VIDEO: Robin Thicke - "Dreamworld"

I'm feeling this joint! But for some reason it also reminds me of Bob Dylan in a major way. Similar tone/intonation in the verses, not all to characteristic of Robin Thicke. Still a good track though, the guitar is sounding super clean as well.

VIDEO: Asher Roth - "I Love College"

Yourboy Asher goes in on this track. Sure to be a hit with the Greek Life for those who live it. On another note, Young TH caught up with Asher back @ Magic in August:

They cheered Coronas and probably chopped it up a bit about college. Not going to it, persay...but how much they like to party there. Hahaha...pause.

tupac - california love


kid frost - la raza



Honestly I spend too much time rifling through new artists, videos, blogs etc... time to show more love to the classics cause that's where I be gettin my mojo from. Tupac's video is genius--couldn't happen today though. Kid Frost really puts it down for his fam on this one and you gotta respect that/ remember how many latinos were there starting the music with african americans in the bronx. Slept on!!

p.s. I used to have a local video store that killed the game in West Seattle for the first 12 years of my life, then blockbuster came it. It was called Video Vault.

VIDEO: Jadakiss "Letter to B.I.G."

Had to bring NY back after that last post..! For real though this track is extremely dope to me, although I think I'm only gonna like Jada's version, everybody else is just going to ride the mobile IMO. Thats cool on a "Swagger Like Us" or "A Milli" or even a "President is Black," but you can't really fuck around when it comes to paying your respects to a legend and claim you were fam cause the movie came out an you like this beat. Guaranteed somebody's gonna outdo themselves an its gonna turn into beef over whos down with B.I.G.

Enjoy the video though, Word Is Bond.
