sqwinty eyes v2

wow. what a coincidence

Rayquan Elliot aka Seymour Cake aka Hearthrob of the Hood aka Rick Fox of the Hood aka the Gorgeous Gangsta aka Mr.Monday Night aka Pyrex Stack and all that. #1 on my list of personal favorite rappers ever. Best aliases. Went in on every track. Crazy work ethic. Did all the right things for the right reasons. Coincidence because I was just at work reminiscing over how I used to listen and devote free time to anything 'Stack' related religiously. Looks like its that time again as a mixtape with new material drops tomorrow. Time to pull out all those old mixtapes. I remember when I first heard 5th Ave Glamour Girl on hiphopgame, good times.. squad up.

if i had a kid..

we would both have RETROSUPERFUTURE sunglasses. Jus sayin'.

you into tattoos?

Well if you answered yes to that question, and if you want something super original, super unique, and super professional. Journey's End is the place to be. Mike Ivey is the best and probably the most experienced in town, 18+ years I think. So go get your tattoos done asap.. while your sober and on a full stomach of course.

happy birthday to you

february 7, 1974

i think i fell in love..

with a band named Javelin. I couldn't even decide on which song to post. They have an album coming out sometime in April I believe, which I will be purchasing. Peep Game.

next read: graphic novel edition

go ahead/you can steal the swag

theblaaahg.com

Figured we should start featuring other blogs than those in our own circle so here goes nuthin.. theblaaahg.com is one that I've stumbled across plenty of times these past few weeks, while on a mission to learn and immerse myself into the culture of our own city, Richmond, VA. "theblaaahg" is just one of many blogs that I want to feature for it's content involving everything from fashion to music, design; it even has it's own shop! But my blood thins from giving too much props.. so peep game.

next purchase: wallet edition

SIKE!!! hoes.

cambodian baddies

It must have been fate that I'd see this. I just found out I can't go backward when I'm changing channels and I don't have a remote, so I was forced to actually check to see what's on each channel (I figured I might come across something interesting, and I didn't wanna have to cycle through all the channels if I passed it). Now I don't usually write long messages with these posts, but this one was just crazy to me. And the thing is, I wanna say it didn't really shock me and that I'm not nieve to the world. But in reality, there were times when I was watching that I was thinking to myself "Wow... Why?" Answer: There's just a bunch of sick people in the world. The thing that people seem to talk less about, though, is there are good people as well. There's always gonna be good people and bad people. What's my point? I don't know. Still, I'd suggest you watch this video. Keep your eyes open. Peace hoes. (realized how inappropriate that actually was)

this the right one

i'm watching you

ducey x r&b

big o

This is what happens when I can't find the real State of the Union Address to post for y'all fools. Whether you go look for the real one or not is on you, pahtna. I watched it, it was good. Mad jabs sent at the elephants. I aint even watch this video, though, and I'm still posting it. That's G. That's Duce. Swag. (as in swagger jacking spiff's choice of words)

hey, you can do it too

Support your favorite artists that is. Swag.

thought i'd post this because..

well.. ya know.. Keep It Tight. Nudies. Vintage Lady Mags. Maybe to get some photography practice in as well, but mostly for the underlying themes directed towards women.

 p.s. shouts to Chase Cheeks Leak for all his production over the past months

they get us young

Just about every person in my family born in between '76 and '92 has a similar picture. yea.

New Camera..

and no Photoshop.. yet. This post is really just an attempt to put Chan closer to the bottom. By the way, remember when I said that thing about werewolves, like "Whatever happened to werewolves?"

Just caught this commercial leaving work. Seems to have that old classic Universal Pictures feel so I'm down for it. If only we could get a modern-day Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but none of that comedy horror stuff.

ahead of many

unfortunately.

My New Best Friend: Chan Gailey

And this is where the sarcasm ends. "Mildly enraged" is the perfect phrase to describe how I feel about us hiring Big Chan, 'us' being the Buffalo Bills. Us being the team who passed up Leslie Frazier (Vikings defensive coordinator) for the most conservative offensive coordinator we could find, because thats going to give our offense the spark it needs.. smh. This was a comment on the Chicago Sun-Times blog before the hiring was made:

      Well at least the (Chicago) Bears are looking at Chan Gailey, one of the most conservative coordinators ever. He is highly mediocre, but suits the role of coordinator who only gets one or two year contracts before he is fired. By that criteria he meets every qualification that Lovie is looking for. Mediocre, Conservative, Doesn't last long with a team, easy to fire, easy to hire, attacks a defense by not attacking a defense. But most think Gailey will end up with the Bills.

                                                                             "Deng"

I'm looking for an explanation. I heard somewhere that Bill Cowher suggested that we should hire Gailey on multiple occasions, which leads to a theory I've been juggling around all day. Maybe Cowher and his coaching friends thought it would be hilarious to get us to hire this vintage forgettable coach from yesteryear while dodging the job himself. They're probably in a laughing coma by now. All in all, as long as we win games next season this will be forgotten. Josh McDaniels can tell you. I'm sure Duce is in a laughing coma too while his Vikes are fighting for a conference championship. Get your laughs in before Sunday, ya chump.

Vampyros Lesbos

"A Psycho-Sexadelic Horror Freakout!"

I definitely had to wait for MLKDAY to end to post this, following a nice respectful post from duce with vampiric lesbians and all. What a jerk, right? But seriously I've been reading about this 70's vampire-sex exploitation film all day and being that it's a cult-classic only made me download buy the dvd from amazon that much faster. It's basically about this vampire woman who seduces other women for blood (and I guess pleasure?). The victim is supposedly a lawyer who travels to the island on a minor case of inheritance. The soundtrack is supposed to be top-notch as well and even though I've been sitting on it for a week I haven't given it much of a listen until tonight. It feels kind of corny posting about vampires with all these people in a frenzy over Twighlight but I find films like this and Nosferatu to be a whole lot more interesting. Then again I've never read or watched Twighlight soooo.. that's enough rambling. I should start producing beats for this weekend. Whatever happened to werewolves?

martin luther king jr.

duce: I grew up in a house where the dark parts of history were told. (Imagine being 5-years old and hearing about columbus' raping escapades. .yea.) One man that was put above all was mr. king. Even though i was always more of a malcolm-type of guy (considering his transformation), i've always had tremendous respect for mr. king. I remember seeing "my friend, martin" for the first time when i was young, and that may be one of the first times i understood racism. It was the first time i felt like i could connect to a man that so many had adored. It was a good feeling. I appreciate all he's done for not just black people, but all races. My belief: He would appreciate the progress we've made so far in race relations, but he would know that there is so much more work left to do. For now it's all speculation. Rest in peace for a man who died too young.

gil scott-heron is back...!!!

christina hendricks for $100

Now I don't want to start off on the wrong foot or come off jumping stupid with daring posts but whatever.. to start this whole "shabang" off I'd like to showcase Ms.Christina Hendricks. Actresses are the best and I've been watching a decent amount of film noir lately while I should be sleeping, so if thats not enough to justify this post maybe this song will.
