80's Babies Had The Best Cartoons

No contest. Hands Down. And I'm intentionally leaving out many of the obvious joints (He-Man, Ducktales, Chip N Dale's Rescue Rangers, Captain Planet, Thundercats, etc.)











and these weren't exactly cartoons, but they was the ISH!



These are just a few. I just relived the first 10 years of my life on youtube just now.

This dude is so hip hop

I'm so sincere about this. I tried to warn yall. I really did. Live from a hotel lobby at SXSW. And oh, RNLC6 (that's not a typo) is well on its way.

Mosaic Whispers

Click the album cover to download

You don't know this, but you really do want this album right here. You want it really bad. So click it and get it. You'll be happy you did. Disfruta.

EDIT: The link is fixed. Password free.

And I'll go ahead and give some pretext before ur completely disoriented by it. It's an acapella album. It's fly tho. It's one madrileño who layers his own vocals to create beautifully complex soundscapes. Google can fill you in on the rest.

Whoever had this idea is a genius

[||] 16 homo minus 16 homo. Full blown homophobia status.

Still, the idea is genius.

Expect the Unexpected

yup.

Is that the Mexican Tupac?

@ 2:51. Tell me I'm lying! (Warning: it's a lil nsfw. sorry mom.)

In Wonderland

White Niggas I Fucks Wit

I'm not sure what's the cause of this lapse in ethnic pride, but there's a few white ppl who, if given the chance, I would invite to the family barbeque. The reasons vary, but I consider them all the truest white niggas in the game.

Feist
This white woman is like the Aretha Franklin of white people music to me. I say this because true soul music comes from *drumroll* the soul and carries with it all the nuances of a culture. There's a reason that Deep South down-home country soul music sounds like it does. There's a reason all black people can relate to it. It captures all the raw pain and sorrow, joy and hope, of a people, our people. In some way, I feel like Feist is so unapologetically and authentically white that she communicates the same thing for white people like Aretha does for us. I'm left feeling like, "Oh, this is how white ppl feel." It's different man, yall [white ppl] be on some other ish. It's cool though. I'm sure it seems like I'm jumping out the window with this one, but yo, Leslie Feist is the truth. She's the essence of whiteness from this imaginary place called Canada.

Chuck Norris
If it was McCain/Norris instead of McCain/Palin last November, I don't think our President would be black (nor would our Lambo's be blue).

Matt Damon
Yeah, some of yall might expect me to pick Brad Pitt. I mean, Brad does get to put his penis between Angelina's lips--which I think is as close to Muslim heaven as mere mortals can get--, but as far as actors go, Matt Damon is the most gifted in the world. Dude can act his [insert "no homo"-disclaimer worthy object here] off.

Penelope Cruz
Black women, I'm sorry. Penelope Cruz can have my children right now. I have this thing for talent. There are a lot of beautiful women in the world, but not many of them are talented. She's both, and both in both (as in beautifully talented and talented in her beauty--if that's possible). Plus she's only, like, one of the greatest genetic phenomena of our time. (Did you know there were two of them?!)

Michael Jackson
Because, white or black, he's still the greatest entertainer of all time.

Bill Clinton
I know we got Obama, but be real, Clinton was the first black president.

Sean Connery
Coolest white dude ever.

Honorable Mention:
Kanye West
We lost Michael. We'll eventually lose him too.

The Juice Is Loose

Oran "Juice" Jones - The Rain (1986) -

Please, do yourself a favor. Give yourself a few minutes and reacquaint yourself with this classic video.

Why do I have a camera in my hand?

Tragicomedy. Discuss.

Why God invented white people

For pure comedic purpose. My apologies to anyone who finds this vid offensive. And yeah, I said "invented."

Emo Rappers

I and my compadres had an in depth discussion about this video last weekend. Rap has been building towards this moment for some time, but the emo rapper has officially arrived. Did you hear what this nigga Cudi said?

Emo Quotables:
"I got 99 problems, and they all chickens/ wish i was jiggaman"
"She bought the toys that I would play with when i was by myself/ why he by himself?"
"but they all didn't see... the lil bit of sadness in me/Scotty I've got some issues that nobody can see and all of these emotions are pouring out of me. I bring them to the light, it's only right,this is the soundtrack of my life, the soundtrack of my life."

Am I wrong for calling this a landmark moment in hip-hop? And by "landmark" I don't mean to say that I consider this a positive development; I'm actually neutral. I mean it's a significant point in the development of the genre. A rapper gets on a program and sing/raps about how he's a sad little boy... Even with Kanye and the mullet, I still never thought I'd see the day that a rapper would ever say that. Shoot, singers don't even do ish like that.

Unless their emo. < cudi voice > Welcome to Heartbreak < cudi voice >

So Far Gone > Mixtape About Nothing

I said it.

How to Make a Grape Sandwich

Rachel Ray, eat your heart out.

YEEEAAAHHH! GET MONEY! OOHHH!

Reasons why I'm posting this:
1. I think Weezy ghost mic'd the last part of Soulja Boy's verse, beginning with "knick knack paddy wack, give a dog a bone..."
2. I do recall Weezy saying "white benz, crome wheels/like a napkin on a nickel." Am I alone in calling that line brilliant?
3. This song, ignorance not-notwithstanding, goes hard.
4. Don't have to worry bout gettin posts deleted. 8-)

You can't wu-tang betta than tha BAWSE

This is second only to 50's "it ain't trickin if you got it" shop till u drop wit Ross's baby mama. Word to this nigga's chain.

Those unfamiliar with the feud between Officer Ricky and Curtis or Ross' proven past as a correctional officer, google it. It's not what we do here. I will, however, echo Maino's statement that it's disappointing that Rick's been denying his past so hard. It was also trisomy 21- level retardation to think it wise to bring 50 into it. It is good for guaranteed entertainment though.

Had to change the title to reflect the Philadelphian ending.

Keep it real, nigga

Real Niggas Light Candles 4 has been done for about a month. All I need is cover art. It's sad as... well, let's say there was about to be a lotta sibilance in that short sentence. I'm starting to feel that there's a vibe between the winter additions and the spring ones, cuz as soon as I rounded out the 4th, the 5th began with a completely dialetic vibe. That is to say, don't be fooled. There's a reason there's candle smoke on those covers. Vol 4 is done and Vol 5 is about a-third to halfway done. I might shock and awe. No theatrics? It worked for Biggie. It worked for L-boogie.

Volume 1 was groundbeaking, Volume 2 was historic, Volume 3 was classic. Only time will tell us how much it really... matters. All I can say is, quietly, I led a lotta leaders. I see yall and I know yall hear my footsteps: if I'm not in front of you then you know that if I keep running, I will be. Vol 5 might be my personal 808's and Heartbreak. That is, if Vol 4 is my hybrid of Ryan Leslie and Ready to Die.

Real Niggas Light Candles:
Volume 4, sooner
Volume 5, soon.

To the casual reader, this rant is nonsense--understandably. But to the regular reader, especially that reluctant, reticent, regular reader (because, in addition to being ur favorite blogger's favorite blogger, I'm also ur favorite blogger's least favorite blogger--you know who you are), you know what this means: I'm DipSet right when Cam took over the rock (CHEA!)--you can't tell me nothin'. I might have to stop supplying yall material till yall shout me out (a nigga can't get a link credit as the source?--"lls," as the young kids say now).

Don't you know that everybody hears a star?

Nevertheless, I only believe in riots of convenience.

Anybody interested in submitting cover art for Volume 4, send it to youhypesikenah@gmail.com.

I feel like Hov

Sincerely,

Your favorite blogger's favorite blogger
