Say It Ain’t So

June 27th, 2009

When I was a wee lad in high school I used to make Hip Hop mixtapes, rap, and try to make beats. Now this was late nineties before Garageband and FruityLoops got big. Hell, beat sequences looked like Atari programs and you would need a MIT degree in mathematics to work them.

I would use Cool Edit which turned into Adobe Audition and just sampled bits and pieces from songs and sequence them using some freeware 4-track app. I started to make some decent sounding beats but then got fed up with my lack of real musical talent and ended up giving up and deleting all my music.

Anyways, recently I have been realizing that big time producers barely have any real skill or musical talent either. They’re just creative and have a good ear. I’ve been reading up on one of my favorite producers, Polow Da Don.

Both of my favorite Polow Da Don beats were made using the default, stock, sample sythn sounds that come with programs to demo what they do. That’s fucking insane!

I got that shit in Garageband!! How come I’m not a multi-million dollar producer?! Oh yeah, I’m a lazy quitter who can’t swallow his pride.

Jeez, I mean P. Diddy had to at least pay a lot of money and clear the rights to sample other people’s music. Polow Da Don used a fucking free handmeout from Apple Computers!!

Well whatever that’s just one Polow Da Don track. I mean, it’s not like he’s lazy on all his smash hit singles, right? Aw fuck. Some lame Hungarian rapper exposed THE FUCKING NAS HERO TRACK:

What the fuck, man. I thought you were a genius. I don’t know -you can’t go so hard on these guys. It’s not like kids are bumping this shit off the radio, in their daddy’s car, give a flying fuck how much effort some pot head producer put into his beat. You can still rub up on a chick at the club to it. People like catchy, dumbass shit like Souljah Boy HOOOOOOOO!

It’s just like anything else. Once you know how it’s done it loses it’s magic but then again you want to be able to appreciate the craft when you listen to something. I guess I can appreciate the fact people can hustle their way through without doing hard work.

Cheating is a skill too, right? Yeah? Kinda.

Hip Hop Meets Your Childhood

June 26th, 2009

These mash-ups always get me in a good mood and ready to party on the weekend, even though they can be creepy at times. “Have you seen my childhood?”

Our first entry is a mix of Disney’s Alice in Wonderland with one of the Oscar winning Three Six Mafia classic compositions, “Smokin on the Dro.”

Alice’s attitude always gave me the ho vibe. Anyways, let’s get angsty to some raw M.O.P. shit with the timeless anthem, “Ante Up” performed by Sesame Street’s ambiguously gay duo, my boys, Bert & Ernie.

And now the shocker…I pissed my pants in fear after seeing these monstrosities work their magic at Chuckie Cheese. Let’s see these animatronic bastards shuck and jive to Usher’s “Love in This Club.”

Damn, that track was HAWT!!

Some People’s Kids (Not Mind Safe)

June 26th, 2009

This is really fucked up. Skip this post.

On Something Awful Forums, forum members have a thrilling activity called Weekend Web, where users dive deep into the dark abyss known as the internet and pull out epic treasures.

The following is a post found on forum called Bug Chasers, where gay men meet up to exchange HIV, AIDS, and other STDs through sex and…good lord!

The Something Awful Forum user, King Lou, was kind enough to record a reading of the post for your listening pleasure.

Now try your best to forget what you just read/heard and pretend this was a joke. People don’t really do this shit, do they? Aw fuck.

Canada Supplies the Fun- World Wide

June 26th, 2009

The shocker is I thought Canada only exported the natural herbs and spices. How did we get so big in synthetics?

Canada is ‘hub’ for illegal drug shipments

Canada has become a major hub for producing and shipping methamphetamines and ecstasy to markets worldwide, according to a United Nations report released Wednesday.

“Canada, which traditionally consumes a lot of cannabis and produces a lot of cannabis, is also a hub now for methamphetamines and ecstasy, which would likely come as a surprise for Canadians,” said Walter Kemp, a spokesman for the UN’s Office on Drugs and Crime. CBC

32% of our Crystal is going to rich Saudi kids and 27% of our E is going to our fellow tokers in the Netherlands. Free Trade amazes me. Where’s my cut, damnit!?

The King is Dead

June 26th, 2009

Holy fuck, Michael Jackson is dead. I know a lot of people have been anticipating to see him on his latest tour. However, Michael Jackson’s upcoming London dates have been cancelled. They were James (aged 9) and Thomas (aged 11). ZING!

We can’t forget another celebrity died. Charlie’s Angels’ Farrah Fawcett. The story goes when Farrah died earlier today, God granted her one wish. She wished for all the children in the world to be safe. So God killed Michael Jackson. OH SNAP!

Too soon?

Anyways, the King of Pop will truly be missed and remembered for all his great accomplishments. There really wont be anyone like Michael Jackson again. He sacrificed his life and sanity to entertain us yet we continue to shit on him. Some would say that’s the price you pay for celebrity. However, Michael didn’t choose to be a star. His father, Motown, and we chose him. OMG I AM SUCH A HYPOCRITE!

Thanks for the music, Michael. We’ll be listening forever.

Toddler in Flavor Country

June 25th, 2009

Kids these days…

A TWO-YEAR-OLD boy from the city of Tianjin in China is the world’s youngest smoker.

Well, at least the youngest to admit it.

Except he didn’t admit it, his dad did, after proudly teaching Tong Liangliang how to spark up between tantrums and milky vomits.

Liangliang’s dad said his son was born with a hernia, and being too young for an operation, has taken up smoking to help him deal with the pain.

Now he’s a pack-a-day man. Pack-a-day toddler. And he won’t give up, screaming and throwing himself on the floor if he’s refused a durry.

“The father wasn’t aware how serious the toddler’s habit had become until the child began to increase the number of cigarettes he smoked per day,” news agency CRI said.

The Guinness Book of World Records is unlikely to accept the feat, as it has refused such requests before on the grounds that it “promoted a harmful habit”. news.com.au

What this kid really needs is some better parenting and medicinal marijuana.

Cops: Prostitute, Frito-Lay worker agreed on exchange of oral treats

NastyJUNE 24–Meet Lahoma Sue Smith. The Oklahoma woman, 36, copped a plea last week to a prostitution charge for accepting a box of Frito-Lay chips in exchange for oral sex. According to the below Oklahoma City Police Department report, john Faron Jonhson told cops that he informed Smith that he did not have any money, but that she “agreed to give him a ‘blow job’ meaning oral sex, for a box of chips.” Johnson, a Frito-Lay employee, provided Smith with a case of chips he valued at $30. Following her February arrest, Smith, pictured in the mug shot at right, told police that she had a few prior prostitution busts. At her sentencing last week, Smith was ordered to pay a $1142 fine. The Smoking Gun

I would really like to know what flavor chips as I highly doubt factory boxes from Lays come in assorted. Blowing a dude for a box of plain would be a disgrace but it goes to show you…Bitches ain’t shit but ho’s with chips!

Help Iranians get the message out!

June 24th, 2009

As you know the internet is censored in Iran which blocks Iranians from vital social networking sites such as youtube, twitter, and facebook. Iranians rely on these sites for communication, organization, and to get their voices heard across the world.

You can help them in two ways: Setting up a Tor Bridge (connects Iranians to the uncensored internet through a proxy) OR Setting up a Tor Relay (helps speed up the connection for existing Iranians connected online through the proxy)

For novice users I recommend setting up a Relay as it’s easy and we need more on the network to speed up video and photo uploads.

You can learn how to do both through easy steps shown here: http://anonygreen.wordpress.com/2009/06/18/how-to-setup-a-tor-relay-or-tor-bridge/

The Tor client is available for Windows, OSX, and Linux. If you need any help setting up feel free to contact me.

Peace,
