Old School Rules
2011-04-16 09:56:00 "Why are you standing up with toilet paper sticking out of your butt? That's nasty dude." And so begins our family movie night. Hey, it is what it is. I live with The 3 Testosterones. If a body part or emission doesn't enter the conversation at regular intervals...well that'll never happen.Anyhow. FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT - the in-house version is a time for air-popped popcorn (Genesis, 12, gets the butter to ratio just right), couch closeness and agreed upon viewing (kinda) This time, it's the parents' (my) choice: I enjoy Krush Groove SO MUCH.

Wholesale Vintage Sunglasses – Taking Cool from the Old School
2010-06-10 08:50:00 Vintage sunglasses are timeless indeed, and these retro inspired beauties are being seen more often now, more than ever. Vintage fashion in general can be inspired from any previous eras of fashion. Most people are fond of wearing eyeglasses from the golden age of fashion in order to make a fashion statement while others use these styles from the past to compliment their current styles further. The styles of vintage sunglasses have changed dramatically in over the six years that it has endured. In turn, the variety of its design and style grew more and more, and now it offers something for everybody. The style of the 1950s men’s eyewear is more into thicker frames. These were obviously wider than the frames of the modern designed sunglasses of today and feature a thicker bridge above the nose. Eventually women began sporting these thick framed glasses too. This was also the time when the cat glasses for women first became popular. Many people are fond of wearing these 50’s inspi...

Old School Sundays: R.I.P. Proof
2010-04-12 05:55:00 Proof "Oil Can Harry" f/ Eminem Producer: Eminem - 2005 Track off the mixtape, Grown Man Shit *TIBS FAV.â„¢ Proof "Biboa's Theme" Producer: Nick Speed - 2005 Track off the album, Searching For Jerry Garcia *TIBS FAV.â„¢ On this day four years ago, Proof - longtime best friend of Eminem and member of the rap group D12 - was gunned down and murdered outside a Detroit nightclub. It only seems appropriate to remember him and his music in this installment of Old School Sundays. Right off the bat, Proof became my favorite non-Eminem member of D12. His deep voice and slick flow combined for a lot of fast-paced raps on some of D12's biggest singles and on his own...

Old School Sundays: Common's 'The Light' Sample
2010-02-21 21:42:00 We all know how prevalent samples are in hip hop. I, for one, really appreciate the creativity that producers and artists exhibit when twisting an old song or sound into something new, thereby adding another dimension as well as longevity to the original. The late J. Dilla does just that flipping Bobby Caldwell's 1980 record "Open Your Eyes" into what became one of Common's biggest singles to date: "The Light". How they all incorporated that sample into such a unique hip hop classic is just brilliant and it's always nice to examine them side by side once again. "The Light" is one of many of my favorite sampled songs... what are some of yours? Enjoy!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Common "The Light" (prod. J....
An Old School Journalist Accepts A New Media World
2010-02-17 02:54:00 With one foot firmly planted in the old school media space and the other squarely situated in the new media way of communicating and interacting, when it comes to remaining stuck in the past or embracing what's new and constantly changing, I'm as conflicted as President Clinton at a sorority rush.
Old School Sundays: Eminem Rabbit Run
2010-02-07 19:05:00 Eminem "Rabbit Run"FULL, CDQ, Track from '8 Mile soundtrack' *MG Fav.â„¢This record really personifies the struggle for success and creativity as Em spits straight through, no hooks, just bars. The delivery and lyrics are like one big buildup of raw emotion hitting you in the chest, and a really dope track to get you goin'. It's so fast paced with the beat and flow that it makes the title "Rabbit Run" appropriate not only aesthetically, but also metaphorically in reference to the grind. Focus, Go, Run!If I gotta scream 'til I have half a lungIf I have half a chance I grab it - Rabbit Run-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Wha-t do you think?

Old School Sundays: Dance Influence to Michael Jackson
2010-01-18 01:00:00 I love this video that juxtapositions Fred Astaire's movie clips from Daddy Long Legs and The Band Wagon over Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" single. The dance choreography, fashion, stage design, vivid color, and overall drama of the movie is simply amazing. Everything is very conscious and elegant. I wish I saw more of this type of dedication to craft and class in today's music videos. Even though the above video is from films, I think some of the more artistic elements can transfer over into mainstream music videos. Watching Fred Astaire dance really shows you that Michael Jackson did his research on the greats before him, and through practice appropriated his own innovative mark onto history. The video below has some more...

Old school Common diss leads new music post
2009-11-22 23:59:00 Common "The Bitch In Yoo [Ice Cube Diss]" Producer: Pete Rock - 1996 Original Demo Mix *Tibs Fav.â„¢Today's Old School Sunday installment is directly inspired by the latest Beanie Sigel diss track on Jay-Z. The latter feud has caused quite the buzz in hip hop but the diss track is rather weak (more on that in a sec). As a result, I felt the need to spotlight a diss track that is widely considered one of hip hop's best: Common's "The Bitch In Yoo" - the Chicago MC's 1996 diss record on Ice Cube and the Westside Connection .The backstory: In Common's legendary "I Used To Love H.E.R." he recited, "I was insulted: she was with the boys in the...
Old School Montessori (1969-1975)
2009-11-10 01:29:00 All this talk about Near North Montessori has got me thinking about my own childhood experiences at the school. Here's the class picture from what may have been my last year at the old Near North, which was then located on Chicago Avenue next to St. John Cantius (the church my father returned to many many years later). Yep, two adults for fewer than 20 kids. Amazing, huh? I took the Halsted bus to and from school (and got hit by a Montgomery Ward van one day running across the street). Paul Guinan and I put out a little newspaper with cartoons and stories in it. Alex Medai and I obsessed over World War II and spoke with English accents...

But first and foremost, DMX brought the energy to the stage and it was refreshing to see him doin' what he does best. Did you see how the crowd was jumpin'? Man, that looked like quite the scene.So how does the video above inspire Old School Sundays? Well, of course everyone has the original but my love for "Party Up" was renewed when I first heard this mash-up of "Party Up" and Eminem's...
Old school and keeping it cool: Bob Mould
2009-10-08 18:25:00 Photo Credit: chromewavesdotorg via Flickr You may recognize Bob Mould as part of the punk rock band Hüsker Dü from the 80's or Sugar from the 90's or part of the duo behind Blowoff but he's coming back to Chicago with a sound that he's been working on for more than 20 years. I recently had the chance to talk with Mould on the telephone to get a feeling of what this hard working musician has been doing, where he's been and what he has planned for the future. He's been busy writing an autobiography that he hopes will be finished early next year, he's traveling the country with Richard Morel showcasing Blowoff in 4 cities now, DC, NYC,...
Cy Yung and J. Slikk drop new track with old school feel
2009-09-17 22:35:00 Cy Yung "Da Hollywood Shuffle" Producer: J.

Slikk is on the way in November. And if "Da Hollywood Shuffle" is signs of things to come, then fans of hip hop will be pleased with another new cat to vibe with. It starts with the J. Slikk beat that takes us back to an old school feel with some nice horns scattered throughout. The verses stand out more than the hook as Cy Yung instantly grabs your attention with the first few bars making me...
Old School Sundays: 2Pac "Brenda's Got A Baby"
2009-09-13 23:55:00 2Pac "Brenda's Got A Baby" THROWBACK VIDEO!Today marks the 13th anniversary of one 2Pac Shakur's premature passing and it's certainly a reminder to reflect on the work of the fallen legend. One of his landmark songs and videos is a record that vaulted his early career to another level: "Brenda's Got A Baby". It was his storytelling that you can't help but get attached 2 in this song and the visuals for it go hand in hand. "Brenda's Got A Baby" has long been one of my favorites from 'Pac - one of a countless number of timeless hits that still resonate today and for generations to come. Let's just continue 2 celebrate 2Pac for his music and his immensely...

Old School Sundays: Eminem vs. Rhymefest
2009-08-16 16:42:00 Eminem vs. RhymefestWas in a freestyling mood this morning so I dug up the classic Eminem vs. Rhymefest battle for another installment of Old School Sundays. It may be common knowledge to even the casual hip hop fan, but before both were famous, Rhymefest defeated Eminem in the Scribble Jam 97 competition. And in the footage captured above, I wholeheartedly agree. Rhymefest's Suge Knight line was the instigator to the roof bein' torn off and it only gets betteer from there as he powerfully spit only a few more bars. Anyway, I know this is news to some of our readers out there so I hope this news (or reminder) helps you take Rhymefest even more seriously. Enjoy! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What do...

Alien vs Predator on My T-shirt, It's so Old School
2009-06-10 04:31:00 Long before Alien vs. Predator (2004) and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) was released by 20th Century Fox, there's probably a similar movie preceding the sequel. Maybe, at that time, the sci-fi movie makers didn't have similar perception (or rather fantasy) of what we think about what suppose to be predator and how the alien should look like. Dinosaurs was the hugest, strongest and most aggressive carnivore ever existed and so they thought it made a great predator character. What about the alien? Surely this guy got the ugly-looking face, big-ass brain that showed how intelligent he is and wore its most futuristic shielding attire. I'm amused by Ames Bros retro sci-fi illustration of the battle between Alien vs Predator (as you see on this tee - $27 @ Anonymous Venice). The imagination we have today and in past about the battle and the two characters are completely different and yet it feel so similar! Now, how both characters will look like in next 20 years?
