I Dare Ya.

i'm sorry.
i just can't stop laughing!!!

all right.
it's over.
back to a sneaky beats leak:

progressive drum & bass mini holiday EP
from bwlp on tap: All Things Equal.

Yoga. Girl.

what's sooooo funny about this is that i know verrrrry few fellahs who haven't had
notions rocked all throughout this vid.
i once had a young lady try and hip me to the script about
yoga being an 'inside job.'
hmmm, REALLY now...

'Nah i'm-s stay."

c l a s s i c.

heavy in some tee, hee!

Wow. My Old Crew. Connec. Hip. Hop.

now i'm o say this on the realness.
somebody videotaped a crew i was actually IN back in 1985; SideWalk Breakers.
but i got put on by Jr. and JonJon in Milpitas.
Jesse, Jonny, and Jr. repped big time.
Jonny used to rock a curly quasi-mohawk...
i got put on after responding to a challenge by poppin and launching into a handbone routine that i perfected back in the crescents (Crescent Park out at the green box on the latenite!)

the south bay was key in representing real b-boyness back in the day; proud to have been a part of it.
more notable crew in De Milpas at the time were Heartbrears Crew, Balance Breaking Crew, Just Us (San Jose), Sidewalk, hmmmm maybe a few others.

we used to DO IT!!!!

it's hard for me to tell who's who in this version of the crew...(i'm not in this footage) but i was down circa 1985.
ask around, Milpitas California!!!!

Mmm, Cut The Check. Roots. Michele. Michelle. NASCAR et. al.

So ?estlove tweets that the Roots have something for Democratic Presidential candidate, Michele Bachmann's, walk-on for Jimmy Fallon's late night show this week, alluding it's Fishbone oriented...

They decide to rip into Fishbone's 1985 classic, Lying A$$ B*tch as Michele Bachman strolls out for the interview.

"la, lala, la, lalalalala.."

Jimmy was reportedly respectful and kind on the show.
However, I REALLY would've wanted to be a fly on the wall for the debriefing up in the NBC corporate headquarters with Fallon on speakerphone...

Naaw, naaaw, funk that; what I REALLY want to see is Barack, Michelle, Michele, NBC's late night programming vice-president Dough Vaughan, and Fox News Senior Executive Producer of News and Politics, Jay Wallace, hashing this out at my local coffee outlet, Blue Bottle Coffee over here in Jack London, Oakland!

That would be the shizzinit!!
(come onnnnn, you know you'd join me...)
There was a leetle funk as she participated in a one-word-answer-per-que session when Fallon said President Obama and she replied, "finished."

But hey, weren't Michelle O (and Dr. Jill Biden) were boo'd at a Nascar event just last week?

Let's just keep all this bad behavior pushin'

The world is blurring as challenges to preconceptions about gender, color, politics, and culture in general are fading like watercolors.
(respect eviscerated it's more like IDGAF on 30 # test text!)

And people are plain, not being nice...
[and since there hasn't always been a lot of niceness anyway, I suppose all this is okay...]
Does anyone know that in the digital age, we'll be able to replay these things "...fuh'evah?! Fa eva eva, Fa evah evah?"

Get ready for a really freaky campaign year.

Po poo poo politico pot -shotin' BIG time.


We however will report our take on things, will be looking in quite other directions to big up those positive things that elevate hard working individuals on the come-up. Regardless of race, political affiliation, or affiliations in general.

(...we don't want to end up on an ANONYMOUS hit list! tee, hee, kinda.)

Love and Relationship hold answers- but you gotta be ready to receive.

We're on some Love and Relationship Ready-To-Receive from now on.

Get with the plurals, people.

The Best.

...edition of Paper is out.
thematically, i cannot remember many magazines casting a zinger on point to this degree.
the themes are tight, clean and precise.
Miranda July's trapsing throughout is really funny.

(...not to mention;
she rocks the kind of lips you want to kiss in a million different ways.)

every issue should showcase high-art paper couture constructions on gorgeous* human beings.


*insert your definition of gorgeous as a link here:

really.

in it's own way, this issue is nearly close to perfect as possible.

everything in it is killer.

think of it as the kind of parallel kick-a$$ clinic of publication on par with the gamesmanship display Barca layed on Manchester United last year for the whole world to see...

it costs money at a few fru-fru newsstands i normally patronize...


but you can cop it at the world-renowned Amoeba Records at upper Haight in SF.
breezy.

An early morning drivin' track from an early dj frank niao demo.
Something nice for Fall.

Just A Moment. 99%.

To the 1%; to whom the 99% owe so much:

The world has changed in so very many ways since 1979.
It has been since then, that I was the age of my average current 5th grader.
My father served in the military.
And just about every man of age in his Kansas state neighborhood did too.

I know that sometimes, many times, it appears that people do not appreciate the Americans that serve in the military forces.

But I want to express that this is one person who understands that there is a human being, a daughter or son of a mother and father- a person who wears the uniform.
I'd even go so far as to say,... beyond an American.

It's important to note that the freedoms we exercise in this country are not free.
As such, we walk a fine line in the eyes of many with regards to situational appropriateness.

It can also be said that all's fair in love and war.
If you have personally known either, you realize how true that is...
or conversely is not.

Living in an age of juxtapositions is nothing new. However one thing remains pure as the winds of change: PRESENCE.

Be present. Stand up for yourself. Learn through growth.

And by all means, LISTEN.


We at BWLP respect those who serve in the armed forces for what they do and what they give up so that we can at least have an opportunity to follow our dreams... at least.

Heavy. Heavy D.

You better know it.
Heavy D was just m****kn LEGENDARY.
None fresher, when at the top of his game. He laid it down for folks like Biggie to aspire...

Aw man. 44?!?

WE WILL MISS YOU, Dwight Arrington Myers. ONE OF OUR FAVORITES OF ALL TIME.
Peace to the...

Message of the day from the Angels: be extraordinary.
Extraordinary people do extraordinary things- and you don't stop.

Thomas. Cain. Oh keeeeeeee.

I kinda feel like we've been here before...
How I WISH Thurgood Marshall was around to speak so eloquently to these matters.
