The things you find in the dark, dirty, and damp places of the city.

Sly Dunbar Heavy Manners

I could care less seeing rapper such and such wearing our gear. It's almost expected these days. Rappers will wear ANYTHING for anyone.

But when I get a flick from Unite of Sly Dunbar wearing a Heavy Manners tee I get that same geeked feeling that I used to get when I first started designing tee shirts.

Who is Sly Dunbar?

Sly Dunbar along with his partner in crime Robbie Shakespeare have produced over 200,000 songs give or take.

Not impressed?

No Doubt, Madonna, Ben Harper, Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, The Rolling Stones, Grace Jones, Joan Armatrading, Gilberto Gil, Joe Cocker, Serge Gainsbourg, Sting, Khaled, Mey Vidal, Tricky, Doug E. Fresh, Carlos Santana, Sinéad O'Connor, The Fugees and others have had these guys make songs for them in the last 30 odd years.

Thanks for making my day Sly. Keep the riddims coming and can a dude get a pound for rocking the overalls with one strap please? Easy star.

Hugh Mundell

Cause I'm feeling nice I'm gonna post twice.

Hugh Mundell is one of the most severely overlooked roots singers ever. Who knows what would have come from Hugh had he not been murdered at just 21.

This has tunes from "Time and Place" and a few others I believe.

Track List:
Blackman's Foundation
Great Tribulation
Time Has Come
Stop 'Em Jah
Time And Place
Don't Stay Away
Can't Pop No Style
Rastafari's Call
One Jah One Aim One Destiny

Michigan & Smiley

Boom.

Studio One inna rub a dub style.

Classic niceness.

Track List:

Rub A Dub Style
Nice Up The Dance
Thank You Jah
Compliment To Studio One
Time To Be Happy
Eye Of Danger

Only 6 tunes, but each one is rough.

I'm not even gonna waste time explaining this one. This is a mandatory LP for anyone serious about this kind of thing.

Photo of The Day

Is this a good photo? Sure it is, but even more importantly it triggered an immediate flashback for me of the first time I took acid. I'm not condoning the use of drugs by any means, but when you are sixteen and only have a skateboard and walkman (tape not cd) to your name the idea of "hearing colors" is pretty appealing.

So as it were I was sitting in the Felicita parking lot waiting for the two tabs to kick in. They hadn't done anything as far as I could tell so I walked to 7/11 to get myself a Slurpee.

I walked out of the store and BOOOMMMMMMMM! Peaking at full bore. Passers by saw a kid staring into the eternal depths of his Slurpee believing (at the time of course) that somewhere in that frozen slush of Coke with a dash of Cherry (like there is a better combo?) was the key to life.

Spoiler alert. There was no "answer" to life's eternal question I was just a stupid 16 year old with a head full of acid who was about an hour away from being grounded.

Grounded on acid. Those were the days.

Best Of FFFFOUND!

I never ever tire of this site.

Crack smoke for the eyes.

Junior Delgado

If you don't mess with pure digital 80's business then just read on cause this one ain't for you. If you do get down with digikal digikal then by all means grab this one.

Check out the "Chilly" tune.

* Unite was this album you were talking about a while back?

Cam'Ron

Killa!!!

I'm going on record here and saying that I stays with Cam. Whether there is any validity to the whole "beef" with the once mighty Dipset or not I can't say. I will say I don't really like Jim Jones the dude single-handedly is responsible for black people wearing Ed Hardy and breaking up the Dip. You hear that Jim? You the Yoko of Dipset.

As far as "Crime Pays" is concerned it's actually real good. Cam just has that way of being the underdog and the out of pocket black word wizard all in one. It's a delicate balance. Many try, but few are as convincing as Killa.

Get this one.

P.S This cover is a serious disappointment. With all the crazy ideas that Cam comes up with you'd think he would pass on this wonky ass cover. Tisk, tisk.

Aye!!!

Sometimes I wish SDTW was just an image blog. It would make my job easier.

This one is gonna be all over the net soon. The "Dick In A Box" duo return for some mother loving.

Street Where?

Shop talk starring yours truly and Baby Hawks:

Me: "What the f*ck is up with this leopard hat? Who the hell is gonna buy that?"
Baby Hawks: "Some gay dude came in bought one the other day."
Me: "Who makes it?"
Baby Hawks: "The Hundreds."
Me: "Figures."

Editor's Note:

Your sexual preference is not a valid excuse for poor taste.

Sexting?

Above: Started dying when I saw this at the grocery store yesterday


They have a term for this?

Gone are the days when moms would find a note in your jean pocket from "Lindsey" talking about how she ..."wants to knock boots with you at Eric Martinez's party this weekend." Also do you remember having to hook up at house parties with your chick all ninja style?

Now kids just have a whole library of digital dirty thoughts in their pocket. Although, I'm sure a lot of parents are going through phones too which is probably way worse.

I'm about to date myself here, but I remember the closest thing I had to sexting was getting a page that had my girl's number plus an extra "69."

Riff Raff

Jamie put me on to this wreck.

When the media talks about rap having a negative effect on kids today this is what they should show.

Forget the race issue. That isn't even a factor in the slightest. We are talking complete unchecked idiocy here folks. I do not posses the vernacular required of properly shaming this dude.

Where would you even start?

Music Pirates

If you're hip to .rar and torrent downloads you're gonna want to download this add on for Firefox.

Skip Screen lets you bypass the download wait countdowns for most file hosting sites. So instead of waiting 45 seconds to download your little Gnarls Barkley album or whatever you are trying to get your little greasy mitts on you can just click through it.

Genius.

It doesn't work on every file host, but it's saved me a lot of time so far.
