Space Jam
Although there hasn't been any official date announced, Jordan XI 11 Retro SpaceJams are suppose to drop sometime late this year. Although I haven't been following too much on sneaker game lately, might as well be this one if I'm gonna get back in it. Yes, Jordan 11's were always my fav, along with III & IV's
I guess Niketalk.com will be back in rotation on my weekly sites to visit.
Old School...
So you have old computers/parts taking up space in your garage?? Here's something you can do with them.

Real wizard....
We all remember that "Don't tase me Bro" guy.. well, I think this guy tops that by long shot...
what a bunch of retards in the crowd. I think the cops gave this guy plenty of opportunity to get dress and resolve the situation. Although, not sure how 3 big cops could not take down and handcuff one dude.
Maybe this guy will overtake Susan Boyle as new "internet sensation", a real wizard who can make his junk disappear.....

Cool Commercials...
This is a pretty crazy commercial. One long continuous shot...
Talking about commercials, the "Heineken walk in fridge" one is my favorite at the moment. You guys all have seen this...I know it's not new, but still puts smile on my face every single time I see it on TV. Marketing genius.

Storm has finally ended....
Probably the Best Phone I've ever owned, but all good things must come to an end. After 5 months with this do it all blackberry, I will have to do without for few weeks until the latest Blackberry "Niagara" 9630 comes out. The good ol' standby Blackberry Curve will have to do for now.
Counting the days.....

Can I kick it .....
Another one of my "Legends" series made in March '09.
A Tribe Called Quest was/is probably my favorite hip-hop group of all time. Threw a quick mix of my favorite ATCQ hits I had in my collection. Most are Tribe's songs and few select song "featuring" either ATCQ or members of the ATCQ.
For Full (35 mins, 16 tracks) track listing and download, click here.

good bye MR. Turducken...
Super mario, Zelda, street fighter.... growing up, I was hooked on to lot of games. But no game followed me to my adulthood like the Madden series of football games. I remember countless days of ditching high school just to hangout at my friends pad to play madden. Madden '92 was my first introduction to Madden football. How times have changed....
Although at times he seemed clueless as far as "commentating" during last few years as a broadcaster, his legendary catch phrases will surely be missed.
The Notorious One....
Here's a little Biggie Smalls piece I put together in Feb after I saw "Notorious".
24 mins, 16 track Medley of my favorite Biggie hits.

Playing for Change ....
Here's a collection of "feel good music" that I've enjoyed on weekly bases via youtube. Fusing together different artist isn't a new concept, but the choice of music, artist, and various instruments/vocals seamlessly edited together, these guys are definitely top notch. Automatic add on my youtube playlist rotation. And also for a worthy cause as well.
Check out Playingforchange.com and their upcoming CD/DVD release.
and Especially for you Bob Marley Fans......

Cool it now......
Here's a mix I made back in Dec. 2008
I grew up listening to New Edition and their subsequent solo careers. NE was one of my favorite R&B group back in the day. This mix contains various hits from the group and from their solo albums. This was my first attempt making a mix with VCI-300 & itch instead of my usual turntables. 
I wasn't completely used to it yet, so you will hear some rough parts. Enjoy!!!
Funk Man (the stimulus package)
Hieroglyphics' own & the "Mistadobalina" himself, Del the Funky Homosapien is offering his new album "Funk Man" for Free download here. go get your stimulus package!!!
thanks fred for the heads up.

The Music turns me on....
Here's a pretty cool site where you can check out some mixtapes made by people around the globe. It's very broad based as far as genre goes and I've found some good mixtapes on here. If you are tired of the usual mixtape sites with "bling bling'd cover" tapes of 15 different Lil wayne tracks, you might enjoy stuff from here. And Yes, my mixes are on here as well....

30 Years of Hiphop.....
Here's a lesson on 30 years of hip-hop (538 tracks) in 60 mins. Although it was probably done with a 4 track and not live mixing, still very well done none the less. JaguarSkills got some SKILLZ. Seems like he favors the eastcoast, but think he covered pretty much all the essentials (especially the 90's hip-hop, which are my favorite decade).

it's finally my turn to rock the mic.......
My first post.... well let's start with my first....rap/hiphop song....
I still remember the very first Hiphop/rap songs I was exposed to growing up as a little kid. My dad had just given me a new Radio with a cassette deck. While I was playing around, flippin thru channels, I landed on a station that caught my attention. It was KDAY AM 1580 out here in Socal. Yes, for you young ones, there was a time when we used to listen to hiphop on AM dial.
So what was the very first Rap song I've ever heard??? Supersonic by JJ FAD
The fast BPM beats, catch tunes, and what seemed like super fast lyrics they were spittin out at the time, my young mind was hooked on hiphop ever since. Think they played "give it all you got" by Afro-ricans very next track...2nd rap song to register in my brain. memories...
