You Low Down Dirty....Skank?

Yes that's right. Skank, or Skanin' to be exact.

Skankin' is what you do 2 a.m. in a London club drunk off of the intoxicating percussion and baseline of what is known as Funky House. I know, we've put you on to this already. But lets take it a step further. See there's rules to dis ting, yeh. You have have different kinds of skankin, yeh git me yeh? For now I'm gonna take you through two types of skankin. Tribal Skank, and Migrane Skank. Shout out to my mate Dubbyoo', whose blog I jacked this sht off of (thats one a' my London fam).
NY!? Its about time we start comin' up with our own dances!

Well here goes:





Hah! Biggups to London. Man is really on dis ting!




And just in case you forgot...or missed it....This is the Official Video

"Ladies!"

THE MOVEMENTS MOVIN'!

Ight sooo.....

As you know...or probably don't know, your boy RIPMC'izzle has been out in London connecting the dots. And yes, the image is looking a lot clearer now. I am declaring a full on TAKEOVER. Yes. Mark your Calendar because the Writers Block Movement will be taking over UK for a week.
My agenda in going to London was to shop for venues, and to broaden my network/meet people.

Mission. Accomplished.

I must say I've met a lot of new and very cool artistic individuals, and also, I had the opportunity to develop an even better relationship with those that I met on my first Exodus to the UK. Twice Ive had people in the street tell me either "Are you a poet? Yeah, I saw you perform a few months back" and "Writers Block! Writers Block! I thought you went back to NY?!"

Mission. Accomplished.

As for the venue...heheheh. Lets just say I landed us a gig at one of the most prominent venues in the whole of London. Yes folks. We will be holding a Writers Block Event at the world famous:

CARGO

God is good. Peep the specs....



Yeah I know.....


I know.......

Yeah......Yeah. Its Done. Post over.

Writers Block Week Takeover (Sept 16th-22nd).
Writers Block x Cargo London(Sept. 23rd)
Oh and did I mention that the Writers Block Week takeover also falls during London's Fall Fashion Week? Heheheh.
Order your passports.
Get ya money up.

Read A Book! Read A Book!

And that book should be...

My name is Jason. Mine too.

by Jason Reynolds & Jason Griffin.

Yes both of their names are Jason. But one should stand out to you like the curly locks that adorn his head. That one is Jason...Reynolds. Part of Writer's Block Collective, who in this video sites that his hair although different from that of Jason Griffin, is what is the same between them.



I am definitely gonna read this story. His Story. Their Story. You should too. Check their website for more info, and read a story that should be a staple in your mental diet.

Book avaliable on April 21, 2009.

Hmmmmm.....? ok. Kanye+Cudi






Oops! Wrong pic...




Okay, here we go! Kanye + Cudi
+
Common

The industries a funny place. And artist are funny people. This song to me is like when your Pastor, First Elder, or Deacon tries to crack a sexually charged joke that doesn't go over too well. Like, "nice joke but....just sounds quite weird coming from you...". I like the way they flipped the sample though....

Now, let's not get it twisted. I love gettin' head....
(when she knows what she's doin....cause, I'm picky wit mine).
And this is the anthem
...?

Jerkin'

And no I ain't talkin' 'bout chicken. It seems that something has managed to slip past my radar. Whilst I was re-organizing my life a new movement has seemed to happen. It is called Jerking. And as pausatial as that name may sound that is the name of the current pre-pubescent dance movement.

It is like a mixture of hyphy, chicken noodle soup, and some other sheeiit. Peep the video.

The song "Your A Jerk" has mesmerized the innocent blank minds of teenagers all over the US, and has them submitting whit-less YouTube videos of themselves doing the jerk. You can spend hours just looking through them. Trust me, I have.....n't.

Exhibit A:



Exhibit B:



And yes your eye's do not deceive you. Very shortly after the Jerk came out, some melanin-deficient dudes at UCLA proceeded to jack the steez. Another one bites the dust.
If you like what you hear, you can transplant some of the Beef Jerky on you iPizzy, click here for the Jerkin mixtape by JHawk.

L'Homage to Jazzy Sundays

Sundays are the best days for brunch, a cup of tea, and some smooth smooth smooth JAZZZZ!!!

And not that ol' throw back CD 101.9 FM, Jazz. (not that I am hating, I love me some Kenny Gezzy).
But, I am talkin' 'bout that new new type of smooth jazz. Currently everybody should be pondering on their week while listening to the serenading rhythms of the Jaspects.

These group of young handsome brothas' that were formally trained jazz students at the illustrious Morehouse College. While the men are fresh out of college, they have thrived for six years on the music scene, and have had their music appear in the 2005 major motion picture “Hustle & Flow,” on Carlos Santana’s “All That I Am,” and worked with with platinum recording artists David Banner, Wyclef Jean, Big Boi (“Kryptonite”), Mary J. Blige (“Just Fine”) and newcomers Janelle Monae, Algebra, PJ Morton, and Fonzworth Bentley.

So click here to listen to some smooth smooth jazz on a Sunday afternoon....

and if you'd like to hear and download their new single "Unifunk" listen to the video below, and click the link for more info.


Happy Sunday.
