7MIN WITH CROOKED I

0 comments Posted by mr. la at 6:05 PM

It's 7 MINUTES with Crooked I...nuff said.

So if you thought that Skeme just dropped his mixtape so he could disappear then you obviously don't know him too well. He's actually been in the studio that much harder with the likes of 1500 or Nothin, NuJersey Devil, Problem and more that I won't mention at the moment. He's preparing Dead Presidents with NuJersey Devil and some other people that may have Skeme a bit more known after it drops. For now he shot me this freestyle...though I'm not one to listen to anyone's redux of D.O.A. by Jay-Z (except Trey Songz because he did that right), I'm always curious to see what Skeme has to offer to the public. So peep it out as it will start Skeme's Music Mondays that will go down right here.

THE FRESHMEN - HELLO THERE

0 comments Posted by mr. la at 2:00 PM

Bad Lucc sent this over to me yesterday and I forgot to post it...smh at myself. Shake has it up so I'm going to swipe his link. Read below to get a background on the group:

Put the Gorillaz, Outkast and the Beastie Boys together in a cheap motel room with a microphone and you may come close to the sound of The Freshmen. The group consists of three members; Kristo (mc), A. Wolf (mc) and THX (producer) hailing from the Bay Area and Los Angeles, California. Their first single, “Hello There” ft. Nio Tha Gift has already garnered them both critical acclaim and a growing presence on the radio dial. Currently they are hard at work on their upcoming debut.

Hello There (f. Nio the Gift) - The Freshmen

Off the Don Cannon x DJ Skee's Crips and Bloods: Made In America, the music to go along with the Baron Davis produced movie that I wanted to check out back in February. The track is called America and was done by Compton emcee Problem. Swiped from OnSmash.

Clipse feat Pharrell Im Good Behind the Scene Video from Electric Army on Vimeo.

I posted the audio, I posted part 1 so I have to keep it going with part 2 of the behind the scenes. As you can tell...The Clipse did make all this happen in our city. The Clipse show LA love...so we should show it back.

INVERSE - SO FAR VIDEO on MTVU

0 comments Posted by mr. la at 1:33 PM

Tunji & Toby aka Inverse have a new video that you can vote for on MTVU.com...so after you watch it here, go there and vote for it into rotation. Support your own folks and we can start to see more of our talent on TV. Complaining about how we never see new acts or we never see West Coast artists on MTV or BET isn't going to solve it...it's up to the people to demand it.

SHAWN CHRYSTOPHER - NEVER TAUGHT ME HOW

0 comments Posted by mr. la at 3:36 PM

Now as I was hooping, drinking, and eating BBQ with these artists above yesterday in Ladera Park for the Eighty's Baby festivities...nowhere in that timeframe did Shawn tell me about this song he's leaking today. That Shawn Chrys is always full of surprises. Peep it out, it's produced by Zaire Koalo. A City With No Seasons coming August 11th...be ready.

Never Taught Me How (prod. Zaire Koalo) - Shawn Chrystopher

AIR JORDAN 1 "OESTRICH" (BARFS NOW)

0 comments Posted by mr. la at 3:25 PM

Whatever the story is behind these...I don't care you will have to search for yourself. I think these are a tragedy to the AJ 1 legacy. If I change my mind it will be because I saw them in person and they were better looking. Based off this pic...I'm not checking for these on July 7th and I won't post the other screen shots.

JAY Z - D.O.A. MUSIC VIDEO

0 comments Posted by mr. la at 3:14 PM

I premiered the CDQ here, I like the song and the video dropped after the BET awards...which I was not home for because I was at the Eighty's Baby BBQ drinking and hooping with rappers like Chris Focus, Y-O, Shawn Chrys & Basicali...oh yeah Soulja Boy Tell'em. I hear there is some footage being edited and then you'll be able to see what I'm talking about. For now enjoy what I think was a necessary track from Shawn. I don't care what folks say, this song is hard and very necessary...DEAL with it. Borrowed from OnSmash.

My lovely lady pal Sterling Victorian just hit me up about her FREE show tomorrow as part of her band Crazedotcom. They will be rocking at Grand Star, yes the same place as Broccoli Kung Pao...most likely in the downtown part of Grand Star. So it looks like you can see two different shows in the same building, DOPE.

MEKA'S FINAL (2)DOPE WEEKEND IN FLOSS ANGELES

My (2)Dope Final Weekend In L.A. from 2dopeboyz.com on Vimeo.

My FCC fam Meka was pretty much at all the places I was this weekend so it's only right to show you what we saw. If you didn't know Meka will be moving to NY on Friday...we'll miss his cameos in LA but when opportunity knocks you have to answer sometimes and not treat them like Jehovah's Witnesses. Don't fret though...2dopeboyz will continue to keep the party going and we'll still be supporting it.

RIP MICHAEL JACKSON: THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME, EVER

1 comments Posted by mr. la at 7:01 PM

No matter what your passion is in life, your calling, your career move...Michael Jackson was an influence. My youngest brother is an animator, he has no desire to hit the stage, he doesn't dance much but still, Michael has made an impact on his life as Mike actually impacted us all, if he didn't I wouldn't have posted this, my brother wouldn't have drawn it, Y-O wouldn't moonwalk during UNI shows, Kanye wouldn't try to make many musicals at his concert, 50 wouldn't want to perform all over the world with his music, Chris Brown wouldn't dance like he does, Oprah wouldn't give to poor countries, etc. No matter what Michael did, he did it big and he did it his way...as we all should strive to do in our own lives. So over this weekend...celebrate his life because it's a part of yours.

BET AWARDS AFTERPARTY presented by BILLBOARD

I don't think I posted this already...Crooked I reps us, so even if the group itself isn't Left Coast, we represent Crooked I and who he's spittin with. On top of that MOP is on the track. Enjoy. Oh and Slaughterhouse EP dropping August 11th.

Hood Hop (f. MOP) - Slaughterhouse

MACK 10 - SO SHARP (F. LIL WAYNE & RICK ROSS)

0 comments Posted by mr. la at 12:53 PM

What is their connection besides their names all being 2 syllables??? I think Mack 10 gave the other two their street credibility and they owe these tracks to him. At any rate Inglewood's first 'star' has remixed this song with Ross of course and below is the mp3. The pic is from the shoot they did a couple weeks ago for this song. So excited...(crickets).

UNI REACTS TO MICHAEL JACKSON'S DEATH

0 comments Posted by mr. la at 11:09 AM

If you know UNI on any level, a fan, a family member or maybe you've caught them perform once or twice...then you know the impact that MJ has on these guys. And from this footage you can see the effect the death has made on them here, and you can see how it has effected many others elsewhere. Keep in mind UNI is on the other side of the world right now and heard this happen. Though UNI is from here, you can see the impact worldwide in this video. Peep how music truly bridges worlds.

LOS ANGELES LAKERS vs LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS

0 comments Posted by mr. la at 6:49 PM

SOOOOOOOOO...the Clippers will (rather BETTER) draft the man above so that they can look to be like the other LA team pictured above him, or forever just be known as LA's other team. NBA Draft tomorrow...ESPN.

NOOKA x HEYDAY SUPER DEBS HIGH TOPS

0 comments Posted by mr. la at 6:27 PM

The good people at Nooka put a touch on HeyDay's limited sneaker (20 pairs I hear). I'm not a fan of the shoe...but if you notice I posted that exact watch not too long ago. Well that great pattern is used in the shoe, see the straps and toe. The white colorway will drop later this year where as the black version will be at Nooka's pop up store, popping up July 9th in NYC at Odin's DEN (E. 11th).

AIR JORDAN - SPIZ'IKE "BRED"

0 comments Posted by mr. la at 6:05 PM

So these aren't to be releasing til February 2010 but these guys here say they will have them sooner than later. Now as far as me and the Spiz'ikes go...i usually like the ones that look more like the original 3's. So the white with the gray, the 'true blues' and now these...besides that don't even point the others out to me. I may see whattup with these early...yeahhhhhhh.

CONCEPT CITY x DIZ GIBRAN

Concept City Presents: Diz Gibran Live at Nokia Club from Broccolicity TV on Vimeo.

All apart of the Broccoli City family, Concept City is the music division and got a good summary of Diz' performance up at Club Nokia the night of my bday. Diz had some words for me...and when it comes to Diz it's deeper than rap, blog, etc. He's a good person and I wish him continued success. Peep it out friends.

AKOMPLICE x WEMOTO

0 comments Posted by mr. la at 5:42 PM

I know I've posted things from Akomplice before but I thought this was an interesting collabo. The two companies are from two different countries but have a mutal respect for each other and a working relationship...to reflect this they put out this collab and with the different designs some colorways are made by Akomplice others by Wemoto (you'd have to check the tag). The other cool thing is that the brands will push the other brand's pieces in their native country. Now that's internationally connected. So you can go to Akomplice or Wemoto.

PAC DIV x CLUB NOKIA

Same show Diz & The Clipse rocked...well my boys at Pac Div were there as well. Check them out.

I mean the Clipse have been hanging tough in Los Angeles...they're very much connected out here. So during the duration they chilled with DJ Skee as well as shot the video for I'm Good (a perfect song to roll out too). Peep both videos out.

PROBLEM - MOTOR BIKE

2 comments Posted by mr. la at 3:39 PM

With some changes on the business end that will not be disclosed here, Problem has been working hard and pumping out new material. This is the tentative radio single entitled Motor Bike and has a bit of the flavor of his last radio smash "Wherever You Like". I also have a track which will probably be the street single...it features DJ Quik and Jim Jones...if you act right I'll probably drop that tomorrow. For now download this and hit up Problem with feedback. It's not mastered yet so consider this a preview. Produced by 1500 or Nothin'!!!

Motor Bike (prod. by 1500 or Nothin') - Problem

NOOKA x UNDRCRWN

I like when two brands I'm feeling do a fresh collabo...it's colorful, it's abstract and they're limited. The ZENV watch is limited to 200 pieces and goes for $275. So head right over here and grab yours (or mine).

PAC DIV x VIBE MAGAZINE by JASON PARHAM

0 comments Posted by mr. la at 2:15 PM

My boy Jason Parham did an article for VIBE with the Pac Div boys and has a full transcription of it over at his spot. Below is an summary:

“What it is Pac Div, what it is?” In early March I interviewed the auspicious Cali trio for Vibe’s Real Rap Issue (on newsstands now) in anticipation of their forthcoming major label release on Universal, applicably titled Grown Kid Syndrome. Below I’ve provided the full nine-page transcript of our meeting at L.A.’s Farmer’s Market on a rather frigid, and surprisingly windy, March afternoon. What you’ll read is a conflation of good times, as Pac Div speak on not being able to keep a girl because of their addiction to rap, why Ghostface is like a “good pair of drawers,” and how they have a new-found appreciation for The-Dream. They also offer a small preview of what to expect with Church League Champions, the precursor to their highly-anticipated debut. READ MORE.
