First of all, Rihanna is very hot. like, duh, why did i even have to type that at all?

BECAUSE in this new video she's even more hottTT!!!-she doesn't speak or sing(could that be it?) i think the proper word here is allure. AND Kanye (regardless of what your opinion is) 's really doing cool videos, even if that only applies to Hip-Hop( i know the bar is kind of low).so yea, "Paranoid" by Kanye West ft. Mr Hudson with an appearance by the real sex kitten Rihanna. Artistic like in classic black and white.

RE(w/m)INDER #2 continued

WHAT?! still don't believe me?

RE(w/m)INDER:

TRUST ME!!! if you ever get to experience this live,
as the saying goes, "YOU ALREADY KNOW"-cliche, but oh so true. This video is only a sec but its taped by yours truly. M'Shede was working security for the Clan so i got stupid close with Ced's little camera.

i won't usually say much or anything at all in these posts titled "RE(w/mINDER" because the point of this new part of my blog is that its supposed to be nostalgic to those in the know. it goes without saying. They are rewinder reminders. so with that said, you know when that beat came on it was dumbed out silly. Millenium Center, few years back, in the name of a reunion tour(pre 8diagrams) and YES! all 9 members were present.

Thnks wes for taking me last minute, out of everybody you coulda called.

RE(w/m)INDER:

it's hard for me to miss people when i feel they're still with us

i couldn't just leave the last post alone as is, as i felt i needed to post this for my brother Gui.
Dolo you're forever living in my heart. However, do miss your cool charisma, that laugh, "what's good man?...do it then", and all around great personality.Seems like this time a year i always feel you in a breeze or smell you in a garden. thanks for teaching me how to use photoshop back when, and turning me onto to the most underground Hip-Hop. I remember your friend came to visit and all y'all did was talk Portuguese like it was nothing. it was then i said this brother fluent, didn't even grow up there like that, but true to his roots! This cat is talented. And you never would've said so yourself. No talk. Just action. 'Telephooooooone...just fly awayyyy to heaven brotha....just save a place for meee.'

FAT SHOUTS to NuFaces!!!!!

One of my, if not MY FAVORITE GUITARISTS...

so nice i had to post it twice. My brother in creativiy MRK82, menes rebezzar kedar, a St.Croix/Virgin Islands native, and Durham NC resident, is truely ill with it people. we met in college when i beat him in a freestyle battle(two sides to every story), only to have the crowd demand more( cause shit was truely high in entertainment value). So, in this extra ACapella round Menes won a much needed $50, and while my crew was all in my ear, 'Yo! that was that bull..., you had that!,etc'- i took it upon myself to go outside and find this kid and tell him how much i respected him as an emcee, and that i'd yet to meet someone on campus to challenge me like that. To say the least, Mrk was incredibly humble, extremely confidant, and shit was mutual. Basically, we been friends ever since, especially after he came into this head shop Buddha's Belly where i happened to be working, to find we both shared a love for visual art, amongst other things as well. ENTER, the keystone to it all, our other brother, from Brazil, via Hickory, NC- Gui/ Guilherme Tovares O'liveira (Doloveira). Together, us three(the stongest number there is) formed Konphlux(82's idea) after Gui wanted to start some kind of site. I just wanted to do some designs and have an outlet. It has become so much more since as a result of menes, his networking, and ultimately honest vibes about its growing. I could go on more about how influential he and i's mentor Kruma Kedar has been. Kruma has spent hours kicking that O.G. wisdom to us, but in a more spiritual way, and suggeste to me one of my favorite books; The Flower of Life(check it on wikipedia or something). Nonetheless, check out the flux as 82 just casually rips with ease in his bedroom cooling. Skanking. Again, you may find some technically sound guitarist/bassist out there who took suzuki in elementary school, but this dude is self-taught, begun like most w/ a lil acoustic he tuned by ear in the dorm, and now look! The rawness, or shall i say pureness in which he plays does it for me. I've never NOT felt some kind of emotion when i hear him play. Ok, check the flux.

i'd have to make an entirely different blog about his design stuff. crazy space age vector art, it gets reall nuts!!

Gordon Voidwell with another one here: "Ivy League Circus"

of of his 'Ivy League Circus EP' on Latchkey Recordings. Yes, these are the same cats who put out Team Blackout (Rev. Run's son's group off of MTV Reality show Run's House) ACCEPT this actually sounds decent and is not gimmicky. Really, Kether Gallu-Badat and his team are pretty good and also did the Joell Ortiz stuff and other solid releases. Voidwell did the video too for this one.

WWW.HEROES ON CANVAS.COM

This is a really good thing here so please go check it.
I couldn't get any of the images off because its a Flash site and i'm not techy or computer savvy nuff to do so. Regardless, i ran across this during my monthly periodical binge. I can't begin to tell you what zine put me up on this. Its one of the best Flash websites i've seen since the Stylewars.com( by Mare 139) joint back when it was released on DVD, which won stupid Flash site awards back when.

ANYWAYS... this project couples some graphic designers from all over with dj's from all over. The dj gets immortalized in a graphic, which is then transferred via Giclee(too dumb to find accents on here too)Printing to 18x40inch canvas. They are done in limited quantities and at relatively reasonable costs. LARGER THAN THAT though is THE BIG PICTURE (R.I.P. Big L)- all of the funds, and I mean ALL (minus some costs for printing and artist's commission) goes to help kids infected with HIV/AIDS. There is a dance program that is dedicated to, which helps lift the spirits, at least, of these youngsters. SO, for more info definitely go check and if nothing else witness some people usint their gifts for good and not JUST profit for once. ANd if thats not enough, all my web design heads, get a little inspiration for your own Flash site.
