"Forgetting that God is not religion, but spiritual bond"

My homie Morty McFly back in Paris sent me this a few days ago, and i was really taken aback. I've always been huge fan of Immortal Technique (especially for his knowledge of history and his revolutionary ideals) but to see him deliver the truth this straight up on Karmaloop TV (of all places) seriously impressed me. The existence of established religion, especially that of Christianity, is one that we often take for granted without really questioning it or educating ourselves as to how things became the way they were. HOw can we move forward if we don't understand history? Just some food for thought. Props to Morty and to Immortal for being so goddamn REAL.

Whose Who?

I came across one of these pictures a couple days ago and was like "GODDAMN!" that boy looks like Dave Chapelle. What do you guys think? The man in question (up to you to decide from the photos...) is an upcoming rapper from the ATL named B.o.B. You may have seen him gracing the cover of XXL Freshman issue with Wale (puttin D.C. on the map!), Charles Hamilton and Asher Roth (the latter of which i am not the hugest fan of...but ill reserve actual judgment on that until his album drops). B.o.B however, is super refreshing (like green tea!) and original. Cop his mixtape, it's called Who The Fuck is B.o.B?. Click HERE to download my favorite track from the aforementioned mixtape, called "I'll Be in The Sky".

The Ultimate Drunchies

I've been meaning to post this for a few weeks but it totally slipped my mind (for self-explanatory reasons, judging by the theme of the post). I finally figured out what my favorite drunk munchies are; Stacey's Simply Naked Pita Chips! No need for flavor other than the sea salt, Between the time i got home totally shit housed and the hangover started to go away i somehow managed to go through an ENTIRE Costco size bag of these. They're so delicious you dont even need extra flavor, but they are quite amazing with some Hummus. If you need further encouragement to try out this miracle of the culinary world then pcture this:Me, H-Man, drunk as a Russian gorging my face with Pita chips in bed, enjoying them as much as the Hof eating a cheeseburger on a hotel room floor (though my daughter wasn't nearby imploring me to stop drinking...). That work for ya? ;)

"Out on a Friday night, big smiles and flashing light..."

Wasssssssup, all apologies for the delay, i was in NYC all weekend to see my boy EQ and my boy MJ, who will both be helping out with a little Fresh Like Green Tea secret project for after the New Year. So today's post i LONG overdue, but i had told myself that i would not post until I had the photos of the event. My sister had them, and in true little sister fashion took forever to get them to me. As you probably know by glancing at them already, they are from the Little Brother show in DC that i went to with my lil' sis in October (see how long it took for the pics to be sent?!). It was such a great show, Alixe had never been to a legit small venue hip-hop show before (and heard of Little Brother before that night, blasphemy to some of our ears!) and was seriously impressed. Phonte and Big Pooh ROCKED the house (straight from the lips of Phonte himself, 'they say birds of the same feather flock together, well me and Big Pooh rock together"), along with a guest appearance from none other than Joe Scudda. He only had one verse but the crowd went bananas during its delivery. Phonte is seriously inspirational, so much charisma, told funny ass jokes at T-Pain's expense (which if you read Attack The Wakk you know im a fan of) and DAMN can that guy sing. Big Pooh held it down too, and even had his momma, who lives around here, come on stage and take a bow. The ended the set in the best possible way, by turning out all the lights and playing my favorite song, "When The Party's Over". I know the pictures of me with them are not nearly as thug as the one I have with Pusha, but i really did feel starstruck meeting them, which explains my goofy ass smile. Props to Ratgirl for finally allowing me to grace you folks with photographic evidence of a great night in the District.

"First class with the seat back I still see ya!"

Just peeped this while I was watching FX earlier today, such a fresh commercial, the music fits in perfectly. I do happen to be a huge Nip/Tuck fan as well, and am definitely happy to hear that new episodes are coming in January. However, this being said, and my affinity for Kanye tracks being well known, does anybody else think it's sort of ironic up that the song is in a show about COSMETIC SURGERY, considering that his mother died resulting from complications after undergoing a cosmetic surgery procedure? Nip/Tuck does acknowledge the dangers of cosmetic surgery (sometimes...) but it is always presented as a successful solution to any body problems. Just some food for thought...

Lose Your Life - The Alchemist ft. Snoop Dogg, Jadakiss, and Pusha-T

This video has been out for a while, but i somehow totally slept on it (I've had the songs for months and have loved it). I just watched it today and got kinda blown away. The animation immediately reminded me of Beavis and Butthead, but a more twisted (if you can believe it...haha) version on a bad acid trip or something. Jada murders his verse (pun completely intended), and as always, i thoroughly enjoyed Pusha's cocaine flow. It also reminds me of the 90's horror gore genre that was real popular. The track is off producer Alchemists new album, The Alchemist's Cookbook. I highly recommend it, especially this one craaaaazy cut featuring Evidence, Kid Cudi and Blu called "Therapy". The beat is simply mesmerizing...while we're on the subject of drugs (due to the somewhat disturbng nature of the video above), check out my sister blog Attack The Wakk for a brief discussion of anti-drug commercials...

"Unification of the DMV I Will Achieve Indeed..."

I know I'm a couple days late, but it's finally here! I present to you to the long awaited video from The Ambassador of Rap for The Capital himself, the D.C. anthem "Nike Boots". I been BUMPIN this song since it came out and have been impatiently waiting for the video. The performance part of the clip is shot at the Homecoming at Howard University earlier this year. I have also attached the remix to the song, off The Mixtape About Nothing, which co-stars none other than "call me by my new name, Featuring Lil' Wayne!" for you listening/downloading pleasure. I got maaaad love for Wale, I've been following his come-uo since the Hate is the New Love mixtape, and cannot wait his first LP to come out, supposedly in 09'!

H-man and Pusha-T!



Last night I attended the Clipse's new mixtape release/Play Cloths (their new clothing company) event at Commonwealth in DC. Free booze, mad people (the line went around the block..). The Clipse were supposed to make an appearance, Malice was a no show, but as you can see from the photo above, P to the Usha made it (two hours late and acting like he'd sniffed some of the product that he is so famous for baking). All in all it was mad cool, since the Clipse are from VA Beach, which is not too far from DC, so they sort of have a cult following in the DMV. Check out the photos below,an interview with Pusha at the event, and the link for the new mixtape . Also, check out the Play Cloths website, they're some awesome stuff. I can't fucking wait for Til The Casket Drops in 09'...
