Chuck Fenda

I love dancehall and all it's slack ways even if it doesn't promote a positive message, but when it does have a positive message and carries a big tune I think that is when it is at it's best.

Case and point = Chuck Fenda.

The Poor People's Defenda has a way of making big tunes with good messages and although this album is a bit old it is still one of the better modern day dancehall LPs.

Lots of big tunes like "Gash Dem" which was banned from several radio stations. "Gwaan Plant" , "Freedom Speech" , and "Judgement".


Run it.

BUKET Goes Down the Well

Remember that video I posted of Buket TKO bombing the 101 Freeway in broad day a while back?

Well someone else took notice apparently.


Article taken from Juxtapoz:

NBC reports today that the prolific graffiti artist known for tagging BUKET has agreed to turn himself in for acts of vandalism across California.
Cyrus Yazdani, a.k.a Buket, told authorities last night that he would surrender himself next week after deputies visited what they believed to be Yazdani's residence yesterday. Deputies said they found plenty of evidence to use against him, including this YouTube video (c’mon, you have to admit bombing California’s 101 freeway in broad daylight is pretty dope.)
A member of LA’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority Transit Police said there are more than 20 deputies working graffiti fulltime and that Yazdani is allegedly responsible for more than $40,000 worth of damage, which could lead to prison time. Never mind the billions of dollars in damages we’ve caused fighting a war in Iraq, obviously hunting down a graffiti writer is top priority in the world of crime, right?

Buket Agrees To Surrender

Ed* What never ceases to amaze me is how much effort is used by law enforcement and city officials to capture graffiti artists. The fact is graffiti is not a violent crime. It does not deserve to be head line worthy. Don't be surprised if they try to throw the book at dude and make him another "shining" example. ACAB.

Nick sent me this online portfolio site of a whole bunch of writers and artists. Pretty fresh stuff if you have time to explore.

Here's a couple of flicks I liked by RE One

Picture of The Day

Indonesians aren't fond of pigs either.

This picture is from recent protests in Indonesia over soaring food and gas prices. People aren't having it apparently.

The Spurs

Was anyone else clinically depressed after seeing the Spurs beat the Hornets last night?

I'm not a big Hornets fan although, I will say I've really enjoyed watching them in the playoffs, but do we really need to have the Spurs in another Finals. I know, I know they may lose to the Lakers, but think about this:

If the Lakers lose and the Celtics lose which is obviously the worst case scenario for the media and the NBA as a whole we will have the torture of having to witness the Spurs versus the Pistons. I would rather watch grass grow personally.

The Pistons are by no means as boring as the Spurs with their "core" values and strict adherence to "fundamentals", but I bet dollars to to donuts (love that phrase btw) that ratings will plummet if that is the line up for the Finals.

Now if we get Lakers versus Celtics I am going to enjoy the media hype overload for that all the way to the end.

P.S If I was wrong then how come I can Google "Spurs Suck" and that logo pops up? Oh that's no biggie its not like someone took the time to photoshop the word "sucks" into the Spurs logo or anything.

Ghost and Rae

Above: A ghost face.


This track has been making the blog rounds the last week or so, but I think it's because even a decent Rae and Ghost track is better then 90% of most rap now a days.

Best line and I quote:

Rae: "I don't give a f*ck if you twenty five n*gga , you my son n*gga."

You'll get it when you listen to the track.
