Innovations: 3D Printer

I'm tellin you people we are in an incredible age in human evolution, technology and history...you see 3D movies (that actually look 3 dimensional not the 3D from the 80's), cell phones and consumer camcorders that can record video in 3D and believe or not there are printers that print in 3 dimensions...yeah a printer that can replicate a object in 3D not 2D...just look at the video and be amazed...i'm still perplexed at this technology, incredible...peep it

R.I.P. Amy Winehouse

When I heard the news on Saturday that Amy Winehouse died it wasn't a surprise...at the rate she was going, an early death was somewhat highly probable...check this video about the age of 27 and musicians dying at that age...its weird and crazy how all of these musicians die at the age of 27...and Winehouse is the newest to join this 27 club...Winehouse had an incredible voice and her album was great...peep the vid

Spreadin the Real: Lloyd on Kreayshawn's word usage

Lloyd spits some real ish about Kreayshawn's use of the word 'nigga'...1) he speaks the truth about the word being used by non-minorities (point blank 'you' just can't and should'nt use the word in public though we all know you say the word freely in private) 2)Kreayshawn is a bad rapper (bad in the sense of terrible not bad meaning good) and 3)"Gucci Gucci" is a terrible song and I don't know why Complex.com rated that one of the top 25 songs of this year so far (go here to see the list)...i mean that song is absolutely terrible...good gawd its bad...but anyway peep the vid of Lloyd speaking about Kreayshawn's loose lips...

Spreadin the Real: Uncle Luke spits that knowledge


I've been thinking this about Wiz Khalifa for a while...glad to see someone put some thoughts to 'paper'...peep the knowledge and game Uncle Luke drops in this column from "Miami New Times" news.....

(this was written by Luther Campbell)
Wiz Khalifa needs to have his head examined. The boy behind the hit "Black & Yellow" has lost his mind over a woman interested only in hogging his spotlight. For months, Wiz has been dating former stripper Amber Rose, whose claim to fame is that her ex-boyfriend is Kanye West. Khalifa even tattooed the girl's name on his hand. Now he's beefing with Kanye because West dissed Amber at Coachella this past April and then, just recently, at the Essence Festival in New Orleans.

But Wiz Khalifa broke a cardinal rule in the rap game. You don't date another rapper's ex-girlfriend. He is not alone. In Atlanta, Soulja Boy recently snatched Lil Scrappy's girl. Lil Wayne's ex Toya Carter tied the knot with some rapper named Memphitz earlier this year.

They broke the bro code. See, when a rapper makes a commitment to one girl, he takes the relationship seriously. Rappers aren't like celebrity football and basketball players, who pass around exes like mustard. You got Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco dating Evelyn Losada, who was engaged to former Miami Heat forward Antoine Walker. Hell, some of these motherfuckers don't even wait for a breakup.

Television star Eva Longoria caught her man, San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker, banging his teammate Brent Barry's wife. Orlando Magic star Gilbert Arenas dumped his fiancée and baby mama Laura Govan after he caught her doing the dirty with Shaquille O'Neal. That is some incestuous shit. Despite the stereotypes, you rarely saw this kind of thing in hip-hop.

We rappers have always prided ourselves on not dating someone else's ex-girlfriends or ex-wives. This will come as a shock to some people, but if we have a relationship, it's with just one woman. Look at Jay-Z. He's been committed to Beyoncé for some time. Will Smith, Run-D.M.C., Ice Cube, Ice-T, and I are other examples of loyal, dedicated husbands in hip-hop.

Wiz Khalifa, like some members of his generation, has gotten soft. They are losing their focus. They can't spot a triflin' woman in the room to save their lives.


P.S. - Its too many simps out here in the world

Spreadin the Real: Hustle is greater than talent?

I don't watch the vids from Jumpoff.tv but I may start doing so because I feel the same way they do on a lot of issues in the music industry...I think the a lot of the music (not all of it) pushed to the people on the FM radio airwaves is weak and hustle is rewarded more than the talent cuz the artists (if you wanna call them that) that are wack are rewarded for their hustle that gives them a pass on their talent (*coughs* Lil B)...peep the video, pretty insightful and entertaining

Spreadin the Real: Shyheim speaks briefly about the freestyle with BDK

I remember the first time I heard this freestyle that Shyheim speaks about...I was on a bus up to Boone, NC for a basketball tournament when I was in the 10th grade...My teammate was a dude named George Key that came from NY and had a mixtape with all Biggie songs...when I heard Biggie's freestyle line when he said "I got 7 mac 11's about 8 38's, 9 9's, 10 mac 10's the shit's never end/ you can't touch my riches even MC Hammer and them 357 bitches" I thought to myself this is the illest freestyle i've ever heard (damn Biggie was super ill)...well here's the video of Shyheim speaking how the epic freestyle happened (and here's the link to the freestyle if you've never heard it: here)

Spreadin the Real: Phonte & Zo cover "Return of the mack"

I don't know how in the hell I didn't hear this great comical cover of Mark Morrison's 90s classic R&B cut "Return of the mack" that Zo! and Phonte performed...this has been out for like 3 months and I just heard for the first time on Tariq Nasheed's macklessonsradio.com show...anyway here's the link for you listen to the track: download here

P.S. - Phonte always brings that talent to any track (shout out to all my fellow North and South Carolinians)

Spreadin the Real: Jill Scott - The Light of the Sun

I've always been a fan of the neo-soul movement and I don't know if you would classify Jill Scott in that movement...what I do know that ever since she came on to the music scene she's put out nothing but original, great music...this new album is no different...I recommend everyone who likes Erykah Badu, D'Angelo and The Roots (though they are not neo-soul but superb a hip hop band) to pick up or download this album...its solid all the way through and keeps you intrigued throughout the entire 15 tracks...

P.S. - one of my fav cuts of the album is "So Gone" featuring the unlikely guest appearance of Paul Wall...

Spreadin the real: Bow Wow - Sell my soul

I was never a super fan of Bow Wow but I like some of his music (ever since he was Lil Bow Wow) but this track right here is something I can rock with...peep the unreleased vid and song (looks like the industry pressure is getting to Mr. Moss. You see the pill bottles in the vid and i've been hearing he's kinda suicidal)...

Random Rant vol. 40: ATCQ - Midnight Marauders

(I loved the Midnight Marauders cover so much I made my interpretation of the cover)

I just watched the Michael Rapaport directed documentary "Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest" (don't ask how I saw it but it was excellent) and I began to reminisce about ATCQ's 5 albums they released...I really got nostalgic when I started to hear a couple of songs from their 3rd album "Midnight Marauders"...in my opinion that was there best one, now this is due to the fact that I was first introduced to A Tribe Called Quest on this album...the previous 2 albums were stellar but this album was so dope...from the classic album cover (that i remixed with myself in it) to the incredible songs it was hip hop in its most inventive form...

I can remember the first time I heard the album...I was in the 7th grade (1994) riding in my older cousin's navy blue Toyota Camry...he was playing "Problems" from the cassette deck and I knew from there I had to go and pick up the tape (damn cassette tapes, that's a medium that's now a certified relic. Listen to one now and you wonder how this was considered high quality with all of the 'air' in the sound. Air, you know that low sounding 'shhhhhh' noise you hear.)...I went back and listened to the album again and just as it was in '94 its still dope...Q-Tip is an incredible producer and Phife sounds great over those jazz-infused beats...

Go download it, listen to the cd or even dust off your old tape and listen to the greatness of A Tribe Called Quest...

P.S. - the documentary finally cleared up the 4th member, Jarobi departure from the last 3 albums...i thought he got kicked out but he didn't, peep the documentary to see what happened (Michael Rapaport should pay me for all this free plugging i'm giving him)
