Chris Brown Cleaning up His Act?




No... He's just cleaning up the local freeway and eating Mc Donalds
I wonder if while he is digging holes in the dirt if remembers what he did that night?
Or does he think he is out there 4 no reason or 4 something that never happened??
Some people live in their own realities.
Either way he's sus.

"On" Radio: Def Sound - Last Song Of My Life (W/Strings by Kyle Malkin)




Why not make the last song of your life on your 1st full project?
"Something." was my 1st... Sometimes I forget about it...
Many of you never got your ears hoooked on it
This selection is dark introspective and each line is written as a last greeting to myself and others like me..
"Wave goodbye to the Hello's"
This song brings out my ALL in every line, every time I have ever performed it...
A a composer and good friend of mine Kyle Malkin added strings to his favorite song on the record and recently emailed it to me
I slipped and re fell in love with it.. I hope you do 2!

Im not really with the Gossip buuuut....


I thought this was funni

LOL @ this moment.
Regarding the Kanye thing, I think it was way worse to see Lil Mama hop on stage and interrupt Jay and A. Keys lol...
You dont like Ye bombarding your stage, well aint nobody tell you to hand him the mic...
Fans are fickle...Ye is the same arrogant obnoxious outspoken rapper since "Dropout"...Dont hate him for the same reasons you love him.
I think what he did to o girl was sus, but @ the same time, was it really outlandish? after seeing this whole Serena thing on ESPN bout them talking bout they are gonna suspend her, I really believe certain people blow some of the smaller things into larger scenarios. People make mistakes. I could get into the Vick, C. Brown convo...but I'ma just say, nobody is perfect...Nobody...(sidebar, Kanye was lit peep the bottle)

Sentences is life"

Reflection Eternal

Talib Kweli Performs Unreleased Track From New LP from 25 Magazine on Vimeo.




I know alot of you are looking for Drake's LP, but to be honest, my most anticipated album outside of BP3 is Reflection Eternal pt 2. Part 1 was a classic, and was really a big music changer in how I saw what most call "concious rappers", if you didnt like it, please no longer speak to me and swallow glass ....

Funni tho, just thought of this, I think the same way Def respects Mos, is how I respect Kweli. Black Star was dope

My Favorite TV Opening Song EVER!




I love this intro man!

I remember this was the first time I had ever heard the song
and once I heard Tribes song I had noooo idea it was a real song before the Waynes Bros.
So technically Marlon and Shawn hipped me 2 one of my favorite songs of all time.
"Beautiful guys, cut & print!"

So lets play a lil game of before and after shall we...
Joaquin is on the same show 2 different times as two different people.





Enjoy this interview from hell!!
Whats funnier than this interview is the day Joaquin gets his senses back and decides rapping is not 4 him and he wants 2 return 2 the acting world the white world will re accept him like (I.e. Robert Downey or Brittany Spears).. "We" dont have that luxury of the "come back" (I.e. Chris Brown)

MULTITOUCH

GUTEN TOUCH from Multitouch Barcelona on Vimeo.




Text Via fabrik:

In the last years technology has advanced in giant steps”…this is not a new thing but today it seems to be a reality for everybody. Open source is now an open door that will come into all houses, exponentially speeding up creativity and development possibilities.

Next, a short introduction that will analyse the key moments in the last ten years of technology and creative development in the field of interaction and new media, and end with the performance and interview of one of the most interesting artistic collectives in the last few years: Multitouch Barcelona.

interaction is a kind of action that occurs as two or more objects have an effect upon one another. The idea of a two-way effect is essential in the concept of interaction. (Wikipedia)

…When we add to this simple principle, the passion for the code, creativity and the natural human aspects for fun-born Multitouch Barcelona. The collective born just one year ago was able to quickly enhance his international recognition thanks to his experimental, fresh and funny video installations.

Multitouch was founded by four young designers, based in (X), who work across interaction and New Media, and develop platforms linked to entertainment, play and experiment, by constantly exploring the communication between people and technology.

Word?





Is Chris serious with this one?
You dont remember... Word??
He also needs 2 work on his acting skills
he doesnt even look like he believes himself
I think its best Chris stops talking to the media in general
he's only making something we soooorta forgot about worse.
