Can you imagine being at a show like this? They’ve got it all. They dance, they sing, they rap, they put on the greatest show ever. Their hair is great, their moves are great, the clothes are fabulous. I wish I could go back in time. Doesn’t it look like Pepa is just on mute and Salt is doing all of it. Wait a minute Pepa didn’t do anything….it should have just been Salt & Spinder(ella).

Plenty of hits including An Open Letter to NYC, Car Thief, Ch-Check It Out, Intergalactic, & many many more. So if you think you can handle the beastiness of the Beastie Boys go ahead and give a try. Download and Remix. Who knows maybe one day you’ll make the next Grey Album.
Meet the oldest rock band, the Zimmers with their cover of The Who’s “My Generation”. The lead, Alf, is 90 and i’m positive will be humped by 20 year old blondes in no time. The Zimmers will be featured in a BBC documentary to air in May of this year. Tim Samuels, the man behind the project, has been all over Britain recruiting members of the group (who even go to 99 and 100 years of age), by finding lonely & isolated old folk who can’t leave their homes. The song is produced by Mike Hedges who has worked with U2, Dido, Cure, & more. I love old people.
So honestly, I figure this blog just can’t be a legit blog without having the greatest party song ever known to man. You just can’t get the vibe of 8 Million Stories without having a little dance in your chair while you go on through. So baby please, why don’t you party all the time, party all the time, party all the tiiiiiime. In memory of the musical stylings of Mr. Edward Murphy.
A little bit a gold & a pager, all I need is a little old school in my life. The Cool Kids, the next best thing in the music blog land, maybe be all that jazz, straight legit with gold chains and fly gear but is their sound as old as their look? No, no it’s not. It’s not like old LL and it’s not the Run-DMC of our time either. Their sound is a lot like a lot of the new shit that’s been hitting the streets lately. I’m not saying it’s bad, it’s far from bad. It’s actually quite listen-a-ble. But a cap and a pair of cool shades, can’t make you the cool kids on the block. Nonetheless I still like it a lot. They never said they were anything but themselves. They are pretty cool indeed actually.
Before ‘Monty are I’ was on Stolen Transmission, even before they were just ‘Monty’ they were ‘Monty’s Fan Club’ and they were one of my favorite local bands. They have a whole new sound and a whole new fan base. There was a time when I would see them all the time at local gigs and worshipped the ground they walked on. I still have my old school Monty’s Fan Club tees. No matter what they become, they will still be good old Monty’s Fan Club to me. Monty are I is an entirely different band.
KRS-ONE, “the Teacha”, and Marley Marl, one of hip hop’s first super-producers, team up once again, to follow up on Nas. KRS-ONE is making an album called “Hip Hop Lives”, which will be executive produced by Marley Marl and will be released May 22nd, 2007. KRS has always been an outspoken leader for the hip hop community, only makes sense he’d stick up for it. Here’s an old school track:
Why is it everything Supreme touches turns to gold? Supreme and Oakley team up as a great duo with these new killer shades. I can picture these on Humpty humpster or Shock G from the Digital Underground (I love them). I love these sunglasses, lately the only thing everyone has been hyping is the come-back of the aviator. I also love the movie Nothing But Trouble because I’m a huge Chevy Chase fan. Plus it does have Tupac in it.
Did anyone see the finale of the Surreal Life? By the way i’m not happy with the way they ended it or with Traci winning. She got lucky way too many times just like Andrea did. Come on now, Rob should have won it but Traci? Traci? Terrible, just terrible. Ron should have beat her, no doubt about it. None of them are A-List anyway. Kathy Griffin poppin out was just ridiculous, who is she to choose the winner?
And did you see Rob completely freak out on Ron? Not just Ron but the whole place, the set, the drums? Rob goes crazy a lot clearly. Surreal Life is not the first set he has destroyed. He has some serious anger issues.
(Back in the day, do you see all the familiar faces??? MTV)
What is it with throwing drums? He seems like a real sensible guy. Have you heard him preach? Let’s do the right thing, respect, honor, it’s all bullshit. This old school video makes me really want to respect Vanilla. He drives me sick with his baby whining and tantrum fits. He’s a loose cannon. But in this video Arsenio Hall really gives it to him. It almost makes me feel bad for Vanilla. But you can see he hasn’t changed, not at all. He still holds all the same values and spills the same shit on the Surreal Life as he is here:
Can you imagine a celebrity going on a talk show like that now? Never, we’ll never see that.
