La Di Da Di

Yesterday I dedicated my twitter page to one one of my fave MC's Slick Rick. Why you ask? Well I've always loved the the late 80s and 90s era (90s baby woot woot! lol) and I don't know something about it really appeals to me. I was watching some early Spike Lee "joints" (Do The Right Thing, Crooklyn, etc...) and I was inspired by the fashion and I started sketching some designs that reflected this time. Soooo long story short I just thought I would post some photos, music, and some video clips from back in the day. Enjoy!

Dope People You Should Know | Fuze The MC

If you haven't heard of him than PLEASE get your ears out the mainstream for a quick sec. He goes by the name of Fuze the MC. Fuze has opened for J. Cole. Big Boi himself has said in reference to Fuze "...the dopest nigga I've heard all year...and it's July." This song is from his new project that he is currently working on. Enjoy.



I thought I should include this one too...one of my personal faves from Stereo Typical Music (2010).

Dizkreet | Power REMIX

So I was introduced to Elmo's blog today (not the Sesame Street character lol) and found this remix. In my opinion this is the DOPEST remix to Kanye's "Power" that I've heard thus far. This Ethiopian artist goes by the name of Dizkreet and there is no lie that this guy has talent on the mic. For more on Dizkreet visit his website. But for now just listen.

Old People Are DOPE!

Especially this guy. When I'm his age I want to be just as happy as he is. lol
