Playoffs (where stats dont mean shit happens)
2008-04-22 18:53:00
His team is bad, but in a league based on indvidual performance there is no one player, double or triple team that can stop him. Providing at least one other player can get hot each game, they got this round at least. I expect Boston to prevail however, and take the Pistons, this year KG will not be denied, will overwhelming hunger for a title, again not figured in the stats. Beyond the Pistons consecutive conf. finals appearances is a team whos arrogance and previous success will be their downfall yet again. Boston look good for the finals, again various analysts will point to the bench and inexperience of Rondo. Well guess what, they performed all year and will continue to do so. Out in the west, the Lakers are looking good for the finals, Gasol is one of the best players in his position and will continue to be underestimated due to the fact of his nationality. Another point not picked up in the stat line.

Rasheed Wallace & Juan Epstein
2008-04-10 22:57:00
No, not together. Rasheed Wallace is easily one of the best players in the NBA. Forget stats, to me they don't mean shit. Last years most valuable player went missing in the playoffs and his team got booted out in the first round. So where was his value there. You must admire a player like Wallace who, for all his talent doesn't jump at the chance to become a face for anyone else and isn't afraid to say what's on his mind whilst under the media scrutiny of pro sports. Refusing to deal with the bullshit and leaving that for the plethora of others who will happily fall in line and take any corporate cheque available. Heres an interesting article and interview with the man himself via ESPN (here)Episode 14 of the Juan Epstein podcast is now available. If you've not heard it before, its Cipha Sounds and Peter Rosenberg breaking down topics such as: fast food, larry david, bpms, porn, government conspiracy theories, bape and working for "the man" to name a few. Not a vintage ep this...

New blog is up from Prodigy. Check it in all its full caps glory (here)I've just jacked this summary straight from Nahright.com because I couldn't of summed it up any better myself!Reading a blog post from Prodigy is a mind bending experience. It?s like a 10 minute journey through a minefield of bad grammar, internet conspiracy theories, random thoughts and small glimmers of wisdom.

Strange article and even stranger interview with Snoop at The Guardian online. The journalist did make one interesting observation however: "The thing that makes hip-hop different from other genres is that is that credibility is often found in the level of your success, not the quality of your music" Correct!

Sobering Reality

"We The Best!"um, no your not.When not watching the hilarious Rick Ross/Dj Khaled videos on youtube, sometimes I do like to deal with reality. Heres a couple of articles from the past week that I feel may be of interest to you all. Article on fatherhood from The Starting Five, one of the best sports sites on the net. (here)Also in The Starting Five, a long discussion about the Lebron/Budchen vogue cover. (here)New York Times article on the never ending 'war' on drugs. (here)Tying in with the above topics nicely is this track: Kidz (NYC) from Mighty Joseph (here).Which also provides a reminder to everyone to cop the album because its the best thing of '08 so far.

Let me say that I'm not down with men in tights or baiting up racial stereotypes for entertainment, therefore I'm not really a fan of wrestling. However whilst on Pete Rosenberg's site I noticed Ric Flair had retired giving me an excuse to post this video below. Well before Rick Ross etc, Flair was doing it big.

Not much poppin today in the world of hip-hop so I thought I would direct you to a couple of websites I discovered whilst spending too much time of the internet. Firstly we have themeaningofdope.com, a site dedicated to all things 90's. Highlights include Buckshot performing at Jack the Rapper '94, a dodgy Alkaholiks Coast II Coast promo video, artciles from The Source pre Benzino and interview with The Alchemist pre Soul Assassins at his parents house in Beverly Hills.Secondly check out muxtape.com, this site lets you create your own mixtape and email to your less enlightened friends and collegues who can listen to it online, up to 12 tracks at a time.

Who the F is Mighty Joseph?
2008-03-26 13:07:00
Mighty Joseph comprises of mc's Vast Aire from Harlem & Karnaige from Brooklyn. Their album 'Empire State' is out now featuring production from Madlib and J-Zone among others as well as appearances from Poison Pen and Murs. Let me say that after feeling slightly baffled and confused after just listening to the Rick Ross album I was extremely glad to stumble across something this good. If I was a lazy journalist I could label this as 'an underground gem with a street edge', (in fact it's so underground right now I cant even find a photo to post up) but as a mere blogger I'm just gonna say this shit is fire! Heres a couple of tracks to download so you get the idea:Legend (prod. by Madlib) Kidz Myspace page to preview rest of the album hereNext step, go here and cop it instead of buying "Trilla", you can thank me later.
