That’s my old computer. I wanted an Apple so badly…by any means necessary. You can see that I made it happen.
Now I’ve got a Macbook Pro. My girl Danielle just asked me how to configure her browser on Safari, and I told her to delete that shit cuz it’s for suckers. Then I came across this awesome graphic that breaks down the types of people who use various browsers. Check it out.
I take it that the majority of people that I know are either nerds or hipsters according to this colorful chart. Using Safari makes Danielle a “huge queer”. Hey, I didn’t say it. They did. I told you to delete that shit, Dani.
Is Seth MacFarlane, creator of almost everything animated on Fox’s Sunday lineup, trying to pull a fast one on us? When I first saw ads for The Cleveland Show, Cleveland’s step-son Rollo had the Lil Boosie fade.
Now, he’s fro’d up like one of the Jacksons (R.I.P. Mike).
I’m just saying. I’m with the Boosie, but looks like they’re sticking with the fro. Don’t think you got that one past me, Seth. I studied your background, read the book that you wrote. And for all you wondering what the Boosie fade is…
…that’s what it is. Just for that, I’m giving you some Boosie to jam. If you like it, e-mail me. I’ll toss you the track. Just trying some new marketing tactics out here. Ha.

re-up because i’ve been getting a lot of e-mails about the fact that the DL link in this post is down. i don’t really care what genre of music you like. this song should appease you.
among the best songs i’ve heard all year. this guy, who could easily be mistaken for an extra in oliver twist, is actually one of the more creative electro / dance producers i’ve come across. his ear is phenomenal, as you’re about to see. PFOP put me on a few days ago, and i’ve never been so grateful.

wow. his new album, love to make music to, dropped not too long ago. i bought it on iTunes, that’s how much i support his music. hit his myspace and get familiar real quick. shout out to the dudes over @ blind i for being up on him, too.
oh, and there will definitely be a couple of people who DL the first track, and not the second. i guarantee by the end of the day, you’ll be back here DL’ing the second track, too. watch.
i don’t really care what interests you on a normal basis, because this isn’t a normal basis. this is what happens when you get bored with the fact that humans aren’t evolving into flying creatures any time soon. what you’re about to see is probably one of the craziest videos in existence. it’ll keep you occupied for the next day or so as i work out the kinks in this thing i like to call DC to BC v3.0. enjoy, and welcome back.
damn. listen to what one of the guys said around 1:15 deep in the video:
“at the beginning of wingsuit base jumping, we were trained to get as far from the wall as possible…but now it’s getting boring, so we play around.“

what’s up world? my name is quinn spencer coleman. you may know me, but you probably don’t. modi and i created this whole DCtoBC thing last year when we became the dominant AM radio program on BC’s campus. modi is the king of this blog, but i’m here to put my own touch on things. please get ready for mixtapes and bangers every so often. i got nothing for you now…but soon, i promise. one love.
did i ever tell you guys that the guy above was my landlord for the summer of 2007?
ok, let me explain. if you’ve ever seen the best show on TV, the wire, you’d know that gbenga akinnagbe (silent “g” in the first name) portrays chris partlow, arguably the craziest, most intense character in the show.
he’s like me. kinda. he’s from montgomery county, maryland. he grew up about 15 minutes from my house. he’s also nigerian, as i found out when he called me after replying to his craigslist ad for subletting an apartment. he started speaking to me in yoruba, because he knew my family was from that part of nigeria just by reading my name in an e-mail. when he discovered i didn’t know what the blood he was saying, he laughed and we got down to business. a week later, i was furnishing his extra large 4-bedroom jumpoff.
like i said, i found his apartment on craigslist. it was listed in washington heights, home of the haze/dominicans/arroz con pollo on every corner. 163 and broadway, man.
he was definitely a nice guy, although every time he asked for the rent, i almost shat my pants. why, you ask?
that’s why. try not paying the rent to that guy. your body will be floating in the mississippi river.
i sent this mixtape to people in an email before even posting it. meaning i didn’t care that they got it from my site. i just wanted them to hear m1. and i swear to god this joint is incredible. nothing sounds like this at all. if you appreciate GOOD HIP HOP, then m1 platoon should be in your iPod, iTunes, boombox, car stereo, and every other place you can jam some music.
you haven’t heard about these dudes? well, they’re a rack of homies (most of which are from DC. just throwing that out there) who go to school out in north carolina, and who happen to have 9th wonder, producer extraordinaire, as their professor. i’m not even lying. so with 9th as their mentor, imagine what kind of music they create. in fact, you don’t even have to imagine, because i got it all for you right here. featuring biz markie, carlitta durand, g5 clive, and savin. oh, and huge shout out to vaughn aka arafat yates, one of the rhymers/producers in the squad. one of the few guys who gets really excited about music in general. i respect those kind of cats out there. without further ado, i’m throwing you the mixtape, complete with taste tests.

and i honestly struggled giving you 3 samples, because there’s too many joints on this mixtape that are must-hears. i’ve never heard such improvement from one mixtape to another. lyrics, beats, overall cohesiveness. damn. THIS SHIT IS INSANE! i’ve never heard anything like it. that’s probably why they called this joint “we not them.” good grief. i’m hyped. everybody needs to enjoy this. and if my words didn’t move you to download this, then click the link and see how many people already have got it. that’ll probably move you a bit. ha. wzup scoopay, chopps, sean d, c4 black, napalm…i see all you guys.
quality youtube videos are lacking in the ’08. so i had to bring this back to life. plus, ricardo said he needed it in his life…with commentary. so here you guys go.
4 and a half minutes broken down:
0:10: “ey dea. it’s me again. ya boy marv-o.” his swagger is incredible. he ever so slightly rocks from side to side.
0:26: the introduction of the peanut gallery. my favorite is “steven jackson, action jackson.” but do you all see marv-o’s arms up on his homie in the middle!? he’s just maxing and relaxing. but it is still ridiculous. so
0:33: “y’all already know the rules, so we ain’t gon’ waste no time on that.” that’s what marv-o just said, right? then he proceeds to tell us the rules. he can’t make up his mind!
0:59: eli is hyped. but he’s not even about to rap. but he still pumps both of his arms like he’s about to bless the beat. good grief.
do i even need to say how classic envy’s flow is?
1:10 and 1:14: this is where it gets intense. envy calls eli a cripple. TWICE! and eli’s cool with it!
1:37: envy’s haircut is similar to boosie. but just like 30 times worse. find him a barber, immediately.
2:03: marv-o’s boo (yea, the dude he felt up 26 seconds deep in the video) gives a ridiculous pose. like, a “check me out, check my swag, i’m the man” type joint. but it’s so weak, and the camera doesn’t cut away. so he just looks extra lame.
2:10: envy is confused as to how eli curses twice and is still able to rap. marv-o tells us that any cursing will get you disqualified instantly.
2:17: eli has realized his dilemma and promptly stops flowing. i don’t think i’ve seen anyone this nervous. the music even stops at 2:26, and eli has to think of something, quick. oh boy.
2:48: eli gets right back at it, with a series of “yeaa” noises like a gucci mane or a jeezy impression. i won’t even tell you how good each of his lines are, just listen to it.
3:36: eli curses again, and is so hyped. they end the competition right there, and put a heart-shape over eli. why? i don’t even know. good grief.
