Jermaine Dupri is the man...but that photo above sucks..and despite dating a very talented graphic designer I still havent hit her up about my layout for the blog...

I lost faith in JD...why? Hes the man tho right...hes small and tried having beef with Dr dre, who finished him...so why the enfatuation...if so I should have arie gold as an avatar as I aspire to be as great as him (the real him and what he embodies of course)

ALIFE...an obsession

2009-06-03T02:56:00.000-07:00

I have a problem...its ALIFE...i love it...i always have...its the hype...im not a hypebeast but i love the collab shit...if its alife and some other brand i need it...reebok x alife i got it...alife x asics i got it...alife x wu tang i got it...and now alife x fila...dayyyym shit looks aight, ALIFE whored themselves out for a while but now they keeping it real...their new website www.rivingtonclub.com if sweet and sexy...every tempted shoppers nightmare, encouraging ever growing visa card fines...my man james (www.thekidspresent.blogspot.com) made a fair enough call on the ALIFE chaser model which went wickity wack and took some D12 X zebra based purple stripe to an already wack model...but FILA has done them proud!!

www.karmaloop.com just had a massive sale on ALIFE and i raped the shit out of it...literally bent it backwards and ate a doule quarter pounder off it while i pinned away on paypal...i have a rep code as well but its buried amongst my junk email box shared with penis pills, adopting russian wives and how i missed the phone call that i won a million trillion dollars...if u want it hit me and it gives you 20% off...mean aye yeah hard out G!

I got those J5S on ice aka pic above...3m is average but the red suede is buttery like eating red riding hood...is she a blood? Who knows some of that gang war fare shiaaaat! Jordan 1 countdown pack coming soon JUly i think might be a cop but not to sure, unrelentless spending aka useless but well see...Im still fiening for the AIR MAX 95 neon release ... dope sneaker, dope model, just eating arse about the price...will need to ponder on that biatch too! and plus i have to pay felila back...

Daniel Merriweather is cool...aside from the biblical name shared by me...his parents named him after me, his last name is rad...its like his parents conceived him on christmas eve with mean weather...aka merry - weather....yeah dry!

PNC - BAZOOKA KID

2009-06-02T00:16:00.000-07:00

What's up people?
How are ya?
Im back...whats been happening?
I got demoted after i got back from holiday, but thats all good, now I just can focus more on the music and making something out of my life...
I have heavily relied on smokes + booze, but im kickin the habit and taking on this bullshit head on...
So 2nd June the album dropped...today...yes...and i bought it, en route to lunch with Marino apres the gym...I feel like im Kirsty Alley, constantly dropping and gaining weight, and then twittering about it...fuckin tweets!

aaaaaa....nyways

PNC - BAZOOKA KID
-----------------------------------
Leading up to this glorious day We all had been launched into the new PNC steez with bangers like FIND ME, MOONLIGHT, TAKE ME HOME, WHATS UP and recently TONIGHT...

But hold up theres more of that goodness/funk/electro meets eiffel 65 goodness wrapped in this album marked at $29.99 like a bar of wonkas chocolate son!!

BAZOOKA'S THEME
----------------------
This track is my shit!!! Its hype, funky beats produced by Forty One & Evan Short, the dude Sam's lyrics butter the track like a hot cross bun on easter weekend when you really want to buy only one but go for that second one anyway! The opening seconds make me think, if I was Michael Bay or the dude who directed Teen Werewolf and was going to do a Kirate kid movie, about some fat kid whos loses weight and fucks mother fuckers up at the end, and has a crazy orgy on the beach with a bunch of sweedish models who's boat stopped working,....(breathe)....then this song would play....seize the day muh fuckers!

1/2 KAST
-----------
I like my slow songs...i like them when i know big dudes sing on them too...i like them when the lyrics make sense, I like them when its raining and cold, and u can just remember shit like ... where all my money went, or how rude i was at some point, or aspiring to be greater (or not) ahaha....but this track is a def sunday thrasher, chilling at a cafe sipping some of that sizzurp aka hot chocolate with two marashmallows (one pink+one white) and 2 sugars...with a "thugs mansion" twang to it, its a keeper, in my "sentimental" playlist on my ipod...its no often i got gooze bumps unless i hear something great or its actually really cold...but i got em!

NEW DAY
----------------
Tyra sounds hot...i havent met her, but sister has some soultry vibes running thru the track...this is the kinda track that belongs on a SNATCH movie when all that shit goes slow mow and dogs are chasing rabbits etc...its some real hype run to the gym despite the snow and smash a boxing bag shit...u gotta hear...its hype.

I love this album, even if sam was a dick i'd still like it, but he isn't which is cool...but either way the album is destined for sucess and is rare to see albums exceed such a steller bench mark set by ROOKIE CARD..i commend you my friend, and as always as are the rest of them proud to call you a friend, doing what you do best and that is some serious music!!!

BUY NZ MUSIC ... or youll end up like blanket man listening to some country american bullshit...what a Nz music hater dude!!

PNC - WHATS UP

2009-04-19T17:02:00.000-07:00

People gradually realise i post alot of PNC and P MONEY and etc etc on this blog and thats also because a lot of people that may stumble on this blog are generally lost...and under the grand scheme of things could post up any shit i wanted to and know deep down that this would get discovered by some lil homie in his room eating porridge in bermingham UK looking for the tim westwood shit...then he hits me and scrolls down, plays the song, and tells his mate...thats how it works, its called pull my finger and ill fart...nah wrong game...ahaha anyways...its a dope track..a back and forth banter of fans and love for music and hate that comes alongside, a true tribute to what can be an ambassador to real hiphop minus guns, drive bys, 40's and some ho callled rosa parks...5 stars...yeah thats right i said it!

DONT SWEAT THE TECHNIQUE

WEEZY F BABY

2009-04-19T16:42:00.000-07:00

Signed, sealed, and delivered to my feet, hands, box, bag, fuck it i got em and Im going to flaunt the shit out of it...Fuck that haters, i bite the hype, i hunted and i achieved!

People hate the Yeezy cuz its hype...thats all it is...this is the first time NIKE ever actually created a shoe name after a musician "kanye west"....and its dope...parts of bape and jordan 5's alike with a glow in the dark sole...These shoes make the collection for now and will an ever impending retail increase on ebay its not just a dope sneaker, but also an investment!

So...i tried everwhere, called norway, states, poland, france holland even the kilates boys didnt have them...i then head down to LIMITED EDITION...leaders in the sneaker game WORLDWIDE hands down...holding tier 0, consortium, acg, bbc, jordan etc theyre hype with a store set like a library its ridiculous....anyways i see the yeezys but in my mind im thinkin nah theyll only have a us 9 or 8 left like the other stores...so i ask this dude, and i tell him my story...he looks at me up and down, he smiles, he makes me wait, he smiles, and he politely says to me and felila, come with me...

So we walk, and walk down winding streets, illusive buildings tower over us, alley ways approach made better by great conversation (his name is angel...oooooh yes u are) and he owns and runs LIMITED EDITION in barcelona...look out for sneaker freaker 15 for a write up...so he takes us to show room/stock room and low key store called OPIUM thats affiliated with him...I look in and thought i was in SUPREME LA...dudes jamming OG jordan 11's (you like that aye sam!), fragment tennis classics lyyin round, a clock made of jordans and under a glass platter thing was a pair of yeezys

He says to me that everyone has wanted it but for the wrong reasons, i.e ebay or just cuz its dope...i told him about marek (who i work with) and how i had to bring this home to show his new born child (mika...this ones for you bro)! and there he had it the last pair...fit like a glove and where as 3 other stores I went to were selling them for 300 euro a pair he spot it for 250 for me...what a dude...he really was the nicest dude in the game...he mentions openinig up a sneaker store in London and that recession is bullshit, and we talk about the carharrt store and how you have to ring a bell to get in (but why when no ones inside ahahha)

1 hour later, a friend later, a yeezy later, and a great girlfriend who helped me fund them, i walked away a happy happy chappy...so ANGEL thank you and yes I will email you that stuff, and thank you for the next 3 colourways to come...your truely are the man

And that was it...after being told to eat shit, that it wasnt going to happen and way to many phone calls...i got them...its a hobby, its a passion, but at the end of the day they are just sneakers...but for me it was telling myself i wasnt going to leave europe without them, and i haven't...mind over matter mother fuckers and right now the mind is proving a whole lot of people wrong!

1 love...t minus 20 days till the next colourway!

dave chappelle move over

2009-04-19T16:14:00.000-07:00

We saw this dude today before we had to train, bus, and fly back to Italy...this guy dressed as a clown, with a real squeeeky voice held the whole street on lock down and basically ran a show on the other side of the street...dude had like 200 people stop on :la rambla: and watch his antics...everything from hasseling old spanish ladies, to kids, and groups of dudes...check the homage he pays to 007...all you could hear was deafening laughter for ages...
I wonder if he pays taxes?
any if he did what would his job description be...i dress as a clown, and immitate people and chase any demographic up a street...ahh yes youre a jahovas witness?

either way dude made everyones day so whoever you are keep on slappin that paint on your face, and keep on not paying taxes...we love you for it! OLA!!!

ON THE GRIND t-i-p

2009-04-19T15:51:00.000-07:00

So this dude above pretty muchs pulls the crowds on la rambla...hes the man, the vid speaks for itself...dudes official...the street im filming on was a stone throw from the hotel and at night turns in to gotham city minus batman...(sorry andy...batman on holiday) its run by scody indian dudes selling cans of beers for a euro each..tried buying one last night wasted for 70 cents ... no luck..he didnt know what he missed out on .. every cent counts! ahaha and then to complement that, the streets filled with prostitutes aka :whores: ahaha...god a movie script in the making..."while batman in on holiday indians with cans of beer and crasy whores attempt to govern the citys income" I NEED A TRAILER!

Barcelona ... what can i say?

2009-04-19T15:10:00.000-07:00

So on friday flo and I took off to barcelona as you do (not) and grabbed a ryan air flight to gerona which is like 1 hour out of barcelona...the plane was shit, leg room was crap and you dont get pre booked seats so its a free for all...stand your ground son! ahaha...aaaaaaaaaanyways touch down in gerona hit up the bus, which is pretty much like the plane but on wheels minus the A/C...
So we left buno siera and arrived in OLA SENIOR!
hotel we stayed at ballin, nice low key right on the main strip and close to everything in need to be seen! So we drop our bags, wash our face, change my undies, lace my feet and we walk and walk walk...around 9pm we roll down to 24 KILATES a store in barcelona that I have become "friendly" with and LOADED has sold their collab with NB shoes...hype beast 101 son!

Was dope talking to the fore front till about 12am drinkin spanish beer, looking at the REEBOK range for winter in europe (ladies ladies ladies...freestyles galore) and the ROCKSMITH range which is tip drill ill! Pol (owner) distro's all that round europe and they way they showed us how they livin ... its all gooooooooood!

DAY ENDED!

Now SPAIN 101: shops open at 10am and close at 12:30pm ... open at 16pm and shut at 20pm...what they do at lunch...umm sleep and eat, but mainly sleep...out of it...yeah pol was aying they dont eat till 11pm, party at 3am and go home at 8am...good one, fuck being the sober driver

We walked around the whole of the city, checked out the zoo ... random yes, but whens the last time you saw lions, tigers and bears (oh my) and dragons and shit...ahahah jizz jokes...nah but seriously the funniest thing on this planet is watchin a hippo go for a swim with his mate...and casually take a shit in the pool that theyre swimming in and watching it all float to the top...and at the same time the other hippo yawns and almost eats his mates shit...friendship taken to a whole other level...WORD!

fuck i just relised theres so much to write and im getting impatient so ill split it...but anyways shits crazy son ate heaps of food, saw some serious funny shit down "la rambla" which is the main street in barca that has all the clowns and dudes who dress up and stand still in costume and this juggling soccer guy on the grind...the official man!

I got yeezys thats on the next post...

met dudes from all walks of life and deal with nike, reebok and puma over there, how they access certain shoes, tier 0 and the whole consortium + the hype behind the originals by orignals range...and how important themed stores are...which is ever so evident in barca...the city seriously shat on italy on so many levels...any homies speak english...unlike the stubborn italians...

Ill leave you with the pics and next post will have all that hypy videos!

2nd update! florence oooooh baby

2009-04-08T03:31:00.000-07:00

Just rocked through Florence for the day probbaly will have to go back due to the illustrious stupid italian lines to get in to the museum...9 hours down, almost knocked a statue over in the ufitzi museum...and yeah the rest is history...stinking hot, chocolate waffles, and a maesto knows a double cheese cheese...

All out a mean day, but so much to see and so lil bow wow time...

ponder this....oooooooooooooooooooooh

Into Bologna...random flicks

2009-03-31T22:38:00.000-07:00

Couple days down and gettin to grips with shiiiat...off to roma today for a couple of days and then got the famila from hollandia down in italia for a couple of days...ended up going to some Mcarthur Glenn outlet mall yesterday an hour out of bologna, outlet stores for D&G, Prada, adidas etc etc...no coinage dropped, wish i could say the same for the others who walked out with suits and shoes...Crack up turning on italian sky watchin super 14 rugby in italian...imagine watchin takashi's castle but then a rugby version and then in italian...bologna is a dope city but a tad boring and at the same time dirty as fuck...tagging everywhere (no HEIST) however what the city loses on their walls it makes up for in their way of life which is capital B allin...Hit up some churches, saw some clergy men, and got denied from using MCDONALDS bathrooms which were upstairs because we didnt have a "ticket" which I guess meant receipt of purchase...so i ran game on this dude, confused him with endless amounts of bullshit (all in english) he got confused and said use the toilets, and I turned around and said nah...fuck your toilets....imagine if I did say that though...oooooooooh what a bad ass! Photos are of the last couple of days some of the house, the park by the house, and city etc etc...you get the idea...swaaaaaaager

In Transit...AK - HONG KONG - FRANKFURT..ITALIA!!

2009-03-29T06:44:00.001-07:00

Travelling sucks! Ive done a lot of it over the last 22 years and the one trip i dread making is the NZ - EUROPE... there is a shit load of waiting around, which is then followed by boredom which then justifys spending money on starbucks and burger king in hong kong airport...Air NZ rules for leg room, Lufthansa sucks balls pretty much, at least we didnt have oversized bavarian dudes rolling 20 deep around us, in stead we had some KO'd asian cat pounding some serious sleeping pills...We met the guy who represents LAS VEGAS to the world as a destination at the line to BK inHK...nice dude he also is the number 1 ELVIS impersonator and showed us photos of him and Heidi Klum together as well as him mentioning that hes in the next TOP MODEL or runway bullshit...nice dude though....had a mickey rourke meets tom berenger vibe to him...hong kong is funny its like all these asian dudes are deaf and just "scream" at each other, but really theyre just talking...just like today walking around IKEA and all the italians are loud but really they just vibing with each other...FUIGAZZI...

I re discovered snapple in the aiport the other day...that drink is OFFICIAL...i had it for breakfast, lunch and dinner in the states and found it again in HK...thank you sugar/fruit goodness!!...will update as soon as I get more flicks up, the bro flown in from London, saw Kate Moss at Gordon Ramseys restaurant said she was tiny and way more prettier in real life...heard that one before, although John Legend really only is 5 ft 2! The photos attached of me smiling is in Hk and the grumpy ones in Frankfurt...I hate Germany, I always have...the people suck...I can say that as I grew up with them...their food is practically the fundamentals to their society and lifetsyle, if only that good taste could rub off on them as a race...ahaha nah theyre not that bad...jet lag sucks balls!

2009-03-21T01:14:00.000-07:00

In the space of the last couple of months I have had some chance encounters with dudes who role heavy/light and pack some serious heat...on a retail buzz tho

Its funny as there is a personal profound respect for those on both sides...

Dudes like Jake and Chey from LOWER & ABC respectively undeniably deserve more than just "kudos" for what they do...the hype and buzz followed by season to season proves to reiterate the fact now that these brands are on another tier...

Then cats like AJ from ADIDAS roll through and despite the fact that he didn't create ADIDAS he still deserves the baller cred for being a serious on to it and down to earth cat for the love of the game...

This isn't a "on my knees - blowing a load - tickling balls session" but more what so ever, see this as raw inspiration...dudes at a relative young age doing their thing on a whole other level, more responsibility and opportunity to take things within the national and international level...

Its just dope to see something, despite a negative media induced climate we live in, to see dudes on the grind and keepin it real at the same time...Whether it be character traits or pure desire to succeed, it proves to be an inspiration to be better and greater and excel on some whole other shit!

I feel like Im on some whole other REV RUN shit right here lying in the bath sending morning prayers from my bath tub...In a week Im off to see the family in Italy, and do a getaway to Barcelona for a few days...Face value a holiday, but really so much more than that, with a once in a year vibe to see the family...and some Q TIP - REFLECTION...

Its been 6 years since I left my family on the other side of the world, and it feels like yesterday which is scary...ITS A RACE AGAINST TIME!

And if you think you had a bad day just wonder what went down backstage after this one!

rappers take heed ... a flash back

2009-03-21T01:10:00.000-07:00

This was hype for me 3-4 years ago...on the tip when kano was flying high..I was rollin through Austria, Vienna catching up with the boys and hanging with the family...Snowboarding down the mountains in Italy blasting this track whilst speeding down the slopes to the chalet...On face value one would think wtf? You would have had to be crying when listening to this, resulting in frozen-ice-tears causing extreme blindness...well yes but I had goggles...One day I'll have the power to make movement like this until then see you at the 9-5 buzz

ETHICAL on some hype shit

2009-02-26T01:40:00.001-08:00

I dig the MTC vibe... but on serious shit I dig this track...the video is killah and the song is ballin...there is something honestly humbling and real about a dude who may sell the "hard" image, breaking out about whats real on a ridiculously easy hook like and sinker with the smooth back beats...The dude Merriweather laces it down with the voice that sets the pace...Its crazy the last 3-4 posts have been about NZ hiphop vids and recent releases...Ill be honest I didn't buuy Ethical's lastest album (coming of age?)...I bought off ITUNES "talk of the town" and have followed him through whatever track or vid he pops up on...sponosred by the cats from LOWER (www.lower.co.nz) hes a got a great team backing him up with links in NY...some would say a benchmarker!

Dope track and dope vid which reminded of the video below it...MITCHELL BROTHERS - ALONE WITH THE TV....enjoy!

TWITTER

2009-02-25T01:03:00.001-08:00

So im re in ve nt in g my self through TWITTER...but since im not cashed up like Johnny and not smart as mr MAC im just updating my twitter online :

www.twitter.com/danatkins

i dont really know what the point is ... not much exciting happens but at the same point who cares its fun to write bullshit to 3 followers just like this blog...i could write on and on and on and on...and just write senseless shit like how im working out at the moment and i consumed a whole bag of lollies (PAMS) and real tired...but just wouldnt be fun for anyone ( although i cud go on for ages) so yeah hit it up if u keen if not...east shit!

ANGELS....on the T . I . P

2009-02-25T00:48:00.000-08:00

hmmmmmm....I like Switzerland...its a cool place, nice food, kinda fucked how they think theyre so cool so they don't use the EURO (currency) and they never really ever do have an opinion...Im dutch and kiwi, i save money and sometimes hold back on the front, which could make me a dick...either way when people listen to this track the following consist:

1.HATERS
2.UNDECIDED (citizens of switzerland)
3.LOVERS

1.Now the HATERS hate because it aint hiphop...and these small % are generally still waiting for the underground to rise above the struggle...(wake up it aint gonna happen, and the reason theyre underground is cuz theyre to shit to make it during day time) HATERS hang on to what they remember, theyre all about memories and reminiscing...
"I LIKE SCRIBE IN 2001"...'I LIKE P MONEY WHEN HE DID..."
but HATERS dont like change...so when the world changes and improves etc, the HATERS stay on their comps and in their shitty 9-5 job just hating, rolling a smoke, drinkin double brown and contemplating what horse to bet on...dj's such as RONSON, AM, A TRAK have all dabbled hiphop and then changed their course...

2. UNDECIDED people are funny...they kinda wait to see what the HATERS and the LOVERS have to say about it...if HATERS say fuck this shit, then so does he, but if the LOVERS say i like, so does he...but if LOVERS and HATERS are in the same room...then mr UNDECIDED goes to take a shit to buy time.

3. LOVERS...they're kind of wierd, when people love a track, does it mean they dig it or they love it cuz thats their mood at the moment ... but that mood being temporary...in that sense it could be vital to string a branch between UNDECIDED and LOVERS and call it the FEELERS...

I feel this track...i remember pete playing this to me, sam, ailsa and flo one night and kinda buggin on it, kinda like when some annoyin dude is at the movies in front of you and just munchin on ice the whole night...you say something or nah? you not undeceided cuz u know what you want to do and how you feel...i let the song sink and then copped it on ITUNES...and been loopin it ever since...its a power play, with elements of few and far between chucked in...its dope...its gotta "smack my bitch up meets firestarter" from PRODIDGY vibe...where you might not here it for a month or two and then hear it again and realise why you "felt" it the first time...

bazooka kid remix? ahah

Some "HOME & WAY" chick ft. PNC

2009-02-25T00:41:00.000-08:00

First off...this video is ballin'...concept and everything nailed to a T..the dude samuelle aka kneegrow holds it down on the black and white front, nailing all that attempt to fluctuate color in his way with his mad WU tang ninja mind tricks assassinating all that attempt to screw with the beat...this other chick...not sure how to say this...to be politically correct Ill say this wasn't her song...obviously she can sing, just don't reckon this was the song that real showcased who or what she trying to be...instead repelling Sam into a takeover mode and ballin it out like the wallflowers at the school disco's next to the fizzy punch stand!
Maybe a marketing strategy to have a greater response to the song and zoom onto stardom, why not have a rapper as n accomplice, that way all the less fortunate people will know im down for the cause...she almost had it, but none the less great 16's

SAY GOODBYE TO FRONTLINE...ALO' DAVID!

2009-02-25T00:35:00.000-08:00

I'm a sucker for catchy hooks and especially dual monotonic old black men singing in the background, but never seeing their faces who go "ooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhh" ... mix that in with some serious straight forward, no bullshit, 101 hip hop guideline music video stance, a modest wardrobe (i.e not to flash which is a good thing) and DEVOLO who is the man...you have a hit...or at least i reckon you do...it still has the hard line underlined muscle and hustle that "borrowed time" had but now with a splash of swagger and a pinch of james brown, there is something that even the odd Caucasian can get down too! Its dope...simple yet effective...if this is the way 2009 is shaping out to be, were lookin' real good...

FINALLY HERE

2009-01-14T10:23:00.001-08:00

Aquiring sneakers has always been much of a talent for a few people...buying them full price is another thing...maybe because Im dutch which means it aint much, but either way im a sucker for ALIFE...(www.alifenyc.com) the footwear and apparel is ballin out of control and my collection boasts some 15 odd pairs of collabs with REEBOK pump, with WU TANG and just straight dopeness...so when they released the azx online it was a must...i owed it to myself and it dropping around my birthday was a must for my girlfriend to cop it for me...what a coincidence you may say, however this is the first pair of alife collabs she has ever bought for me...now the story begins...

NEW: SMASHPROOF FT. GIN WIGMORE - BROTHER

2009-01-09T23:56:00.000-08:00

ooooooh...ive been a sucker for this track eversince the snippet got released on line on the MTC blog...im always down for some greasy chicken, a copy of the notebook, writing poetry about illustrious romantic dinosaurs and more than anything when hiphop heavys drop their guard and spit "the realness" ... I personally have never sat down with Sid...ive met him on few occasions usually through Sam, and I will nervously wave, however more so admire his ease and full swing effort on live performances...aside the media's take on things I rate him as the man! I remember Felila, Campo and me going up to Auckland for the half marathon and sitting waiting in the lounge and Sid and Mr. Sicc was there...a kind of felt it was my duty as a avid fan of good music that doesnt boast a gangster background and hangs with brown and white people that like hiphop but dont tarnish its names by giving passerby's the "uber-evil-hiphop glare" that "sid, .... mate...you rock bro, your sounds ballin"

p.s who was first Duffy or Gin Wigmore...its kind of like Gin was thinkin..."ooh duffy sounds dope, NZ wont catch on to fast ill just do my thing here...and itll be a case of the egg or the chicken..."

Thats right gin and Im t Pain

I want to work for ... Diddy

P-MONEY X THE TEMPERANCE X WED NIGHT

2008-12-07T19:18:00.000-08:00

I'll start this off with saying...FUCK THE TEMPERANCE BAR...the guy that runs it is a kiddy fiddler, his bouncers are wife beating derelicts and their dress code is whacker than a crack smoker...however that behind me, Pete is playing their this Wednesday which is cool...his gig at Garden Bar was mean, would have been just a tad better if there were more than 50 people there, however Garden Bar and Shan are probably still trying to decide who fucked up, either waaaayyy...make your way down to The Temperance for one night only to see the man do his thing!....and never go to that ridiculous bar again...

ONE!

SATURDAY THAT WAS....

2008-12-07T19:11:00.000-08:00

NESIAN on new album!

2008-12-07T19:09:00.000-08:00

These dudes are and could be officially the nicest cats to ever meet, in terms of the welcoming and continuous gratitude they show!!! For those that cop the album do it one way or another, lets get the ball rolling kiiiiiiiiiiid

AK ! ! !

2008-12-03T00:34:00.000-08:00

Went to AK for the weekend again,....gotta gold card membership staying at Casa de la Sam e Ailsa...mean perks to the accommodation such as constant good times, snoring, eating, drinking, x box, downloaded movies, and more recently two consecutive movies that contain male front on nudity...g-o-o-d times...The numero uno Wes was in town as well so it was mean to catch up with the benchmarkers and see whats running hot and cold!! I notched another rapper off my list aka Scribe, met him somewhere on the same lines as meeting Devolo but none the less i drank with him, which theoretically constitutes as fuck all, as the bar tender at his local probably would have more of a connection and Im sure if I pulled him out of a burning house and then ran back in to grab his fighting goldfish he still wouldn't remember me...however despite this its mean to meet someone whos album you've thrashed the shit out of and played to your mates back in Europe!!!

We did a few food joints like this underground sushi place on sunday night on 3..? Queen Street that gave us cabbage with mayo....A WHOLE FUCKING CABBAGE with MAYO ON THE SIDE....in holland the feeling of eating this would be like walking around a playground when your 80 years old, no hair and a constant hard on, without having the pills to aid the limp!

NOTE: SIRVERE I KNOW YOU DON'T READ MY BLOG BUT GO TO THIS JOINT AND EAT THERE, AND TAKE PICS OF THE FOOD ESPECIALLY THE CABBAGE!

Picked up some "female kicks" for Felila, on a day where the only one keen on going to Country Road was ailsa, and where we all including Liam (ailsa's brother) wanted to go home and K the fuck Out!

Anyways pulling on strings, gwann gwann!!!!

kanye wizzler

2008-12-03T00:10:00.000-08:00

Word!

6pm work done, accompanied by a samoan, a tongan, a inked out surfer boy and myself (the gift of the gab), a bottle of alize and a bottle of Canadian Club, we made our way to the gig...missed scribe...caught Nas...and then saw Mr West...ooooooooh...to all the alternative fucks who actually understood why kanye serenaded him self for 20 minutes should all pull their knee socks up, tighten up the bow tie and get back to your gay bash swinger party, because that dude lost the plot...However in saying that Mr arrogant himself was rocking fresh J5's a must ... met the entourage in the morning...pretty much conversation went:

Dan: Yo what up...whats good....yezzzzzur...ola! etc etc

Black entourage: I got two questions for you...how much and do you have a size 11?

Dan: Yeah bro hard....so what you guys been up to anyways...hows the tour?

Black entourage:........you gotta a toilet?

Dan: Ummmm no...but if you get me backstage passes ill catch your shit (exaggerated a tad)

Black entourage: Then what are we doing here?

THE END

He posed a great final question...what were you doing "Mr. I'm Kanye/nas entourage however this white muhfucker prolly dont know that i trim kanyes pupes"...I admit i eat ass when i need to...hell if its got $1000 bucks in i'd prolly rim lick and catch the aftermath...but dude you gotta be nice!

01:00am go to Sanwiches to see Nas, they want $30 im thinking .... EAT SHIT

Then Nas pulls up out back and I scream at the dude for a flick he looks at me and then walks in...I ask his lady advisor she says line up like the rest and buy a ticket...if youre reading this, eat shit, you think you're the bomb because for one night only you riding with Nas, but in 2 weeks Mr Jones wont even remember your name, and when you come crawling to Loaded for me to cheer you up with some fresh shoes and maybe some sneaker protector, ill probably upsell you a can of Ironlak and give you a bag so you can inhale the fumes!

One love Nas

Quinton RIP?

2008-11-09T17:33:00.000-08:00

Whatever happened to this kid...hes in the Romeo and Juliet (1995) epic...his names Quinton Tarver, and I reckon he made those scenes in the film and now hes gone...

If you're reading this Quinton, we love you and so does Tim Westwood (because i speak on behalf of him)

Dizzee Rascal for Prime Minister?

2008-11-09T17:16:00.000-08:00

Who would of that when I went and saw this dude at the power-station he had some alternative motives...world domination... he really does stem his words together fluently like Obama...I wonder where Tim Westwood stands on this stance..

Birthday Bash

2008-11-09T16:47:00.000-08:00

Yes thats right I turned 22....

Its a weird age to turn...18 is huge and 21 even bigger, but 19, 20, and 22 seem irrelevant...Why is that? Is that because they are the staple birthday's in order to drink nationally as well as internationally? ...ah fuck it who cares... For the 3rd year in a row I worked on my birthday at Loaded, some may call this a habit, bad luck or simply avoidance of the obvious..There is nothing like making peoples days by selling them shoes and putting a massive grin on their face when really they are unaware the sales person is having his birthday (which means that day should be all about him) and then your cell phone goes off, to which your half deaf dutch grandmother is wishing you a happy birthday, but you really can't hang up on her!!
That night ended up with One red dog and coyotes with Marino Baz and Alex and of course Felila...There was something remotely funny about watching guys throw ice at 160kg+ nesian girls ... or maybe not...

Saturday night BBQ, drinks and music...see what i mean no rowdy partys, drunk talk, fights, drunken hook ups, arguments, broken glass, random party crashers, ipod music changers, spew, noise control, racial remarks, cipher sessions, ciggarette buts, woodstock cans...it was t-a-m-e...and it was devine!! At 3am to ended up with myself, Marino and Campo sinking back CC and Dry, talking about Marino's Music and what we all had planned for the next year...

This may sound like the most boring night to you but I really didnt care...its was incredible...theres something awesome about being able to sit down with a group of guys, talk smack and not have the itching inclination to go to town, instead laugh at stupid jokes, make fun of youtube videos, compare Obama to John Key and wonder what would happen if we all went to the sex expo on sunday...

Rememeber: KEEP ON DOWNLOADING "EVERYTHING" FROM P MONEY...FROM I TUNES STORE...(thats right ailsa and felila?? dont just rely on me and sam to download a copy ahah)

ohhhh and DEVOLE - TOO SHY....its balllllllin...(...but devlo youre not shy are ya mate?) KEEP IT COMING

2008-11-09T16:31:00.000-08:00

Above is Marek...

there are many ways to describe a man like marek...

He is a self proclaimed king of club music
He released 4 albums called "Hip-hop that makes you sweat down your balls i.e chris brown and terror squad"
Contributes to dans every growing grey hair
Claims he should be given leigh way because he just had a kid
Purposely lines me up to walk into his egg diagnosed farts
Starts beef with the entire Wellington hip-hop scene
Feels hiphop has lost its fun and now in turn prefers electronica and heavy rock
If it wasn't for me and loaded he would be wearing grey/grey/black
He decides what time he starts at work
He decides what time he leaves work
He spends thousands of dollars a week on shoes and doesn't tell Rose
Pretends to be a struggling Polish jew/musician and still gets shivers from the holocaust
Will never pay for anything unless it's wholesale or less than that
Spends a lot of time blogging nuisance
Receives way to much free shit when really...he does nothing
Flys up to every vice party just so he can say he goes to auckland 2 a month
Created a party called Kentucky Fried Chicken Sound System....when really that shit has been done, its called listening to the music inside KFC

....above are a few reasons why I love you Marek...keep doing your thing son!!

the weekend that WAS

2008-11-02T20:16:00.001-08:00

Wow...what a weekend to be honest...Where to start...well Wellington had the worst weather ever, blessing myself, felila and campo with mad delays to fly up to the AK....(again)....after mad deliberation, confusion and considerable hussle from our behalfs we managed to sneak into the only plane leaving Wellington that day...we ended up on the plane with "Cut off your hands" and Mr Sicc and Young Sid...Now these dudes officially fly Soul plane, rock the fresh lines, dark shades and crispy fresh tall tee...where the Cut off your hands, rock the Grey, grey, black combo...someone needs to throw some colour at those cats!! We hit down in AK, and catch up with Sam and Ailsa, followed by mad rush to get the Sky sports up and running for the game....

Holy shit that game was ridiculously dumb and pointless, despite our win...s-h-i-t...we then ended up going to Pete's Halloween partay, which included a shit load of finger snacks, flava flav, ninja, amy winehouse, geek, woody from toy story (?), teen wolf, flashdance, Mr. T and heaps of others...After re-enacting the "everything" dance and confessing my undesirable love for ebony from "the Tribe" and how I used to watch her when I used to live in Luxembourg as a kid
HIGHLIGHT: Sam and Campo discussing movies, in which Sam asks Campo to unzip him so he can piss...

Ever wondered what it looks like waking up at 3am in the morning and looking outside your kitchen window to see a Bit Red Raptor being aided to pee by a knife wielding ninja...gutted you missed it!!

..it was time to go...and thats where my night ended because in 3 hours i was going to run the AUCKLAND HALF MARATHON...cue rocky music

A 6.30am start and finished 2 hours and 15 minutes later I had knocked down a pillar, followed by the most horrific chaffing ever...prompting aisla to title me Mr Chaffy Ball Bags...or something like that...imagine the feeling of water trickling down your leg , although you then think it's blood, thats seeping from your balls and ass crack, it feels like some hindu muhh fucker is doing some real life pins and needle voodoo shit on you...it feels like karma, like that time you ripped a flys wings off and now its pay back!!! It feels like you have no reason to walk anymore, let alone talk, you feel helpless and disorientated, and more than anything else crippled...THATS what greeted me when i finished!! CLASSIC...Aside from seeing a few celebs run it for charity like that dude from Breakfast "Brendan Pongi?" and "Ieremia something...the lady" - who cut the toilet lines before the run...bitch nah...ahahaha...

After the most incredible brunch somewhere in Auckland, (chicken pasta...feel like sirvere writing on all the asian joints he hits up over in aussie)...we ended up at a beach somewhere in Auckland and grabbed ice cream...The beach, the weather, the company was priceless...Theres something satisfying about going to the beach and taking your kicks off, exposing feet whiter than A4 paper, and strolling in the sun while still be comfortable ahahha...good times yahhhh heard...this then followed by Miss Rap Supreme and Ailsa reciting the latest in Celeb gossip and sam downloading The Hills, a meal at Wendy Burgers, spilling the chips, a flight back to 04 which included kids throwing notes to each other, and decent leg space...we had completed a good 24 hours of mayhem...

There is something incredible about being able to say that you can run 21km and not walk any of it, and just keep on going...very eye opening, just next time will have power supplies of vasaline ready to go on command and maybe take my ipod next time...ohh yes there will be a next time...now back to saving for my trip to La, Vegas and NY next year!!!

Quote of the Month: Eat Shit

Chris Brown X Dan @ Loaded

2008-10-29T22:52:00.000-07:00

Wow....where to begin...so Chris Brown and Rhianna cruised into town yesterday...now generally on occasions like this, when all your mates/girlfriend have paid 160 for a ticket, yet you're broke from a one night piss up called "super club" which really has financially stuffed you, you hope to get a free ticket....dream on...or maybe not...Now the key to working your way in is start small!!! I started, and a bit off a piece that may not seemed to be so easy to chew...his name is Gerald Heyward (google him, hes legit) and he is the MAN!! Aside from being afro american with a swagger hailing from Pennsylvania, he's a stand character. I hit him up in the store and started sparking up convo, and before you know it, we taking sneakers which lead him to school me on the air force 1 heritage...and I'm not talking white on white, I'm taking Quest Love collabs and Mr Cartoons laser etchings...anyways he says i need a real leather jacket, on that note excuse my self from work and take him round wellington on a little tour and show him the spots...so this dude is telling me how hes worked with Coolio, Mary j blige, just got off touring with Lil Weeeeeeezy and is tight as with Jay Z...I'm thinking this guys the man, and it semi looks as if Ive got my lips wrapped around his dick heheh...aaaaanyways im saying to the dude we gotta catch up tomorrow and grab lunch, hes goes one better and tells me to come to the gig and bring a mate...So I rocked up with Marino around 6pm ... (marino had to tell the boss at his work he ruptured his stomach mixed with indian curry shit and a tad of pink eye)...which got him there

6:30 hit were out back and the man Gerald rolls out and proves my point to Marino who thought i was all shit up until then..we met up with Flo and Pollz in line (which took 2hours to get in) and good hooked up with B A L L I N seated tickets right by the stage...felt like i was in Space Jam, watching the MonStars play.....(NOTE: I saw Young Sid today and waved at him, yet he doesn't know who I am and why should he, however despite that hes the man)...back on topic, Chris Brown killed it, Rhianna killed it with the MIA tribute and the yeah done...the rest was history...NOW THIS IS BIT IS EXCITING!!!!

So we leave and get told to hang out back, then I get a phone call from a American cell saying to come meet them at the Bolton hotel...we cruise there and the whole entourage and that are there wanting to shop...but its 1am...

So we all jump into a van with security and roll to the shop and open it up for them to do a massive shop...so yeah they rolled, 1hour and a bit later back to the hotel, me and marino grab cheeseburgers and then go to bed...in separate beds...its mind boggling just to think of it...some may think this story is ridiculous but for me this was an accomplishment...I was able to hang within a group of guys and girls who are someone big out there in the music industry and i was not a liability or a pain in the ass...in a greater sense they were intrigued by me and how we do things in NZ...Gerald was the man, one of the most modest men Ive met aside from my old man, who brought the show to life...we've exchanged email addresses hes got my number, I will email him, however to put their life and global tours into the realm of reality, there is always going to be another Dan Atkins in the next city they go to or even country...

But for the last 24 hours I felt great, and totally forgot that I went to superclub and "donated" Sam my watch, spent $550 on shots spread amongst friends however ended up Sam myself and Marino sinking the most, dancing behind the bar, and struggling to find Shan so I could grab my VIP pass which i was promised....but never got....and then flo gets knocked out by the wind and starting crying ahahhaa...priceless

2008-10-19T15:59:00.000-07:00

Yes thats right ladies and gents...I bet you're kicking yourselves right now knowing you missed out on this one...I can think of a handfull of people right now who would be kicking themselves knowing that they missed on the size run on these bad boys...its even been modelled by Dj. Sirvere...next it'll be brendan pongia from good morning tv (TV 1)...

The tee set me back $40 nzd, but im sure...i hope...im sure...that the money is going to a good cause...
and on that note a plug to pera's new video, which hopefully will make it to our shores sometime before the second transformers movie in 2009-2010...it looked mean, heaps of cool extras who looked like famous people...a t Pain, Jin, even a guy who looked like a horse, and a random stalker who turned up everywhere that we were...

ooooooh and before i forget go see "the Strangers"......hollllly shit what a frightner, watched it last night with the gang, I can tell you for a fact that there were undies galore with skid marks and heaps of screams, worth seeing, or unless your cool like me you download it (which took 2 weeks) ahahaa, if only i had the link to the good stuff

I wonder if Sirvere had to pay for his t shirt?

shake shake shake ya booooo-tay

2008-10-19T15:39:00.000-07:00

HOLY!! what a weekend(s) to come..."Super club" aka "la clubo superbo" - aka a mix of Italian and spanish and swagger slang...wow what a line up, when the AK brings the game down to Wellington, to school everyone, yezzzzzzzur...the Sunday following will most def result in lounging around, copious amount of mc donalds, heavy sweats and no doubt long indulgent snoozes on campo's couch while he configures one of his endless sound effects...Then on the Monday a 6 DAY COUNT starts, as Ill be running the Auckland half marathon, on Sunday morning up in Auckland...it blows my mind, that thousands upon thousands of people will be at a start line at 6.30am to run for hours and push themselves through physical boundaries...which makes me wonder why I'm doing this....I guess this is the promo place where i say "thanks to ADIDAS" for sponsoring me with free gears and will be running this half marathon for all the pale, 100kg + double chinned, have more brown mates than white, hiphop loving, white boys just like me...If you see me running early on the Sunday after you've had a great night in town the night before and are just leaving Denny's to go home at 7am, which im sure Felila, Campo, Sam and Ailsa will be doing when im at the line, stick your fist in the sky, recite either "Bad boy for life" or "notorious" (because I know all the lyrics to those tracks) and I will embrace you whilst singing the hook!! The million dollar question is whats on the IPOD playlist for the run...one track that is for sure on there is the "Everything (rap remix)" from P Money, Vince Harder, Scribe, Pnc and D. Dallas...its pretty mean, its one of those tracks when the wind is blowing through your air, you've hit the 20km mark and have only 1000m to go, you see the line, success is imminent and then a massive sea gull shits warm poos on your forehead giving you second degree burns...buts its ok because the remix is dope and hinders the pain, especially when PNC raps about some phantom...(note to self, search lyrics at www.lyrics.com)

Underground Vs Reality

2008-10-05T22:49:00.001-07:00

I-d-i-o-t-'-s...is what i like to refer to "hip hop" artists who try and spin the line about why underground is better than commercial hip hop...My side to this discussion is based on the idea that I'm an avid fan of hip hop and am currently working on an artist myself (but more of the rnb genre)...I tend to find myself fall into these awkward situations with drunk so called "up an comer's" of the hip hop field, telling me about how they "spit" on commercial NZ rappers....thats cool but why spit on success? How do you measure success? Money, music sales, fan-base, artist collaborations, myspace friends?? NZ is far to small for a group of idiots to stand by the "i only listen to underground shit....fuck the sell outs"...hip hop in New Zealand seems to be a dying breed, with resurgence of electro, dub and punk. So why stand a strong line and disagree with what success there is within the hip hop genre? It seems ridiculous for people to argue such a thing, as i may sound naive, however I'm sure people in the underground want to hit success and get heard at a larger level? ... maybe I just don't understand the whole back block behind this whole rap game...I support NZ music, I support NZ hip hop but i don't support idiots flinging mixtapes, rocking fitteds, coin save tee's, spitting nuisance, when really they're just gutted they're packing groceries, cleaning up aisle 3, and cant afford to pay for their lifestyle which primarily consists of stupidly souped up cars, a pack of DRUM rollys, and a dozen of viking at $10.99 at the Mill...maybe they haven't heard of Black Heart...I have, and its fuckin "commercially awesome"

I just had a thought...if they were underground "till the death" ...does that mean they buy BUDGET cornflakes and BUDGET soap??

hmmmm

Fuck the free world says B Rabbit

Followers...."1"...gutted

2008-10-01T23:24:00.000-07:00

So I just realised something....I don't even know how many people check this blog out at all...cuz all i got is one follower...(shot abby)...Come on pera, become a follower g, or is that only once my debts are paid...mahhhhhh man!! I will however build a straight contingency of loyal followers, so far I have Abby, Felila and Ailsa...Dave said he might link it, which is good enough as a win win for me..Maybe I should "e" interview dj sirvere and see how he does it? I reckon its the "notorious" camera...dude pulls it out everywhere, da meanest photos...like ohhh taking a dump....oh shit "say cheeeese"

Visuals seems what people into now a days, some of that less reading, and more watching and hearing, almost like the whole world wants to voluntarily be dyslexic muhh fuc*az...Maybe I should start one of those straight hunger marathon...

"I aint gonna eat mother fuc*ers until i get 10 followers and 6 hits a day..." or maybe I should get this linked to some famous as dude and then put a post up saying...."Mr ? added me as link, ... click the link here, and it automatically links back to mine"

Either way "IM ON THE "E" GRIND"...just waiting for MTC to hit me up now!!

Employee compensated over 'dry humping'
Wednesday, 01 October 2008

A construction company employee has won thousands in compensation after being subjected to workplace antics such as "dry humping" and "genital flicking".

He said one incident in 2007 involved the company's managing director (Mr E) approaching him from behind while he was bending over and "rubbing his genital area" against his backside – a term the report described as "dry humping".

At a Christmas function the same year, Mr C said he was the subject of another unpleasant experience, which the ERA report described as "genital flicking".

"This was a process where, when a group of workmates were standing together, typically in a social environment, one or other of them would flick at or near the genitals of a colleague nearby, allegedly with purpose of making the recipient spill his drink."

Mr E said he recalled some genital flicking, along with Mr C's protests, but that he had told staff "not to flick Mr C's balls because he doesn't like it".

.....

Now i would not call what that dude did as dry humping...its more like Mr A, was drunk, hasnt had much luck with women and finally realised, "fuck it...i might just push my luck and see where it takes me...either way I got a back up plans...just brand it as *a guy thing*" ahaha

This guys a l-e-g-e-n-d! I wish I was a fly on the wall when Mr E told the staff not to "flick" Mr C's balls...how can you go home and talk to the family and be serious about your job and how much you enjoy it, when you get breiefed at morning smoko about ball tap.

It really does make me realise what a perfect country we live in and on that note where ever you are Mr C, E or Z...we all feel your pain!

Where AKON at?!

Zen bar - How I never met Devolo

2008-09-28T23:04:00.000-07:00

So Friday night was the first time id been out in Auckland...now in Wellington you can walk to all bars within 10 mins.....AK seems to have its own areas/zones...in wellington there are a few hiphop bars...one was I95 and before that the infamous THE LAB! That was the place were white people were a novelty factor in there...and the white girls addressed each other as "uso" or "chur cuz" ... we now have Coyotes and Shooters,,,mean aye!!! Fuckin beats the clubs in "The Hills" or the 40/40!!

I rocked up to Zen with my man E dub (legend) into the lingering pits of hiphop purgatory....wow!!!! Im staring at Jordans, timberlands, air max 90's, tall tees everywhere, doo rangs and throwbacks...HOLY SHIT!!! I see Sam, Ailsa and Felila at the bar and run to whats safe...after a few drinks (rum& coke drink of choice in the 09) you start to loosen up, survey the surroundings and start to realise this is what Ive always pictured myself going to at one stage in my life...its incredible, pardon my french but i was surrounded by "phatty bitches" rumpshaking and dropping minge on the d floor.

Id met Awa, from nesian, that day but as soon as he rolled through it was good to see a familiar face...its funny how when you leave your area code and the bars that youre used to you kind of feel out of your element and uneasy. In wellington I tend to roll with Marino and So'o (that making me the token white man) but you never have to worry about anything. Back to the 09, the night progressed I got to meet Mareko, Dj sirvere (surrounded by women and his ever flashin digital camera), the dude from JUICY TV, Corey (awa's mate, who straps his camera to his bicep...wow) and Devolo....but i didnt meet Devolo...if you wonder why...dont wonder...just appreciate his music ahahaha

Highlight was getting stalked by an asian methodist who overly intoxicated was working her way through me to get to Sam...

"...so who are you really?"

ahahaha....biiaaaaaatch eat a dick

Went to denny's till 7am...toasted sammys overrated, but it still cracks me up how the place is empty at 5am yet they still make you wait for 10mins....whats with that? and whats with the people that have exploding faces and bubbles...

on that note im going to leave you avid readers with a video from Devolo....this song really is good/catchy

good to put the name to the face ahahah

SUPERCLUB 2 ... its a wRAP

2008-09-28T22:22:00.001-07:00

so its the time again...the first SUPERCLUB was crazy...now this time theres a line up to fill all the needs for the cats in the 04! Shan obviously doing big things here and now with this lineup you gotta get in and grab those tickets...and the unofficial before-after party will be hosted in campo's room...(that sweet...shot?!) just make sure no one fucks with his dvd collection i.e pushing one in and DMX is a must on the playlist...I think he'd be in heaven if DMX dressed up as Batman and did a song about ACC...hes one of a kind!

Puma or Adidas? ahahah

RIP PAUL NEWMAN

2008-09-28T22:12:00.000-07:00

It seems crazy to think bernie mac and isaac hayes just passed away and now its Paul Newman...I remember watching this guy every lazy Sunday with my old man in films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, the Towering Inferno, the color of money and especially Road to Perdition...if this guy was my old man's idol, it kind of makes you think is there someone out there right now from our generation this can match to that kind of calibre....and have released the best salad dressing ever..I wonder if Lil Wayne will make a salad dressing....some of that sizzurp shit!!

P MONEY - Everything

2008-09-28T21:52:00.000-07:00

I had the pleasure of meeting Pete on friday night on the piss with Felila, Ailsa, Sam, lani and Pete's man Earl aka E dub (I'd pay to watch this guy on a truman show gig he is hilarious)...real good cat and has mad plans up his sleeve for the future which no doubt will be updated through here as it ticks along...No matter what you say whether you hiphop or not...this track is dope...I dont know what him, sam and those dirrty cats are drinking but the videos streaming from that front are on another level to what we seen before...

And to those wondering (like i did) the dudes on the shoulder represent the "music" notice when P isnt listening to music he aint got anyone on his shoulders....."ohhhhh true bro" and gotta love Sam's acting ability at the end with the "hoody" shrug when him and Dave steal Mr. Harder!!

baaallllin'

The latest video to make it to the NZ music scene...c'mon now Russell Simmons we got something here!

D RASCAL at the powerstation!

2008-09-28T20:29:00.000-07:00

I'd been feeling this dudes music since back in the day when napster first arrived and i could download the 21seconds from so solid crew on the dial up...and the old lady would hit you up on why the Internet download capacity had gone over usage!! To find out that Semtex was doing backdrops was incredible, as I used to stream his shit live back in Austria off www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra I flew up that day as had to work at LOADED to cover, and met the hype man for d rascal...one of those guys who's just a good cunt...chatting for 45Min's on the sneaker game in Europe and talking shit about his stories about the trip so far before I even knew who the dude was!! Funny enough he ended up doing a shout out to us before 'Flex" started...the funny thing is that Wellington never gets shit like that...yeah we get the odd musician but not of that calibre and hardly ever rolls through the shop in the 04...biggest thing we had was Poison and elemeno P....woaaaah hold up!

Sam and Dave Dallas opened up which was mind blowing because I never seen them perform live like that before, and it blew me away...its always interesting to see what the response would be to hometown artists...In wellington we love those dudes and people go crazy just seeing those cats roll through town, but you would think people in AK would see them as a regular thing...but hell nah! the crowd went crazy through out the whole set and set up a reassurance that these guys are officially on top of the game in NZ as we speak!!

But yeah if any of you guys see the Hypeman tell em that I say thanks!!! ahahahaha

p.s shout outs to Liam and Jake the funniest combo I have ever witnessed on the juice!

YOURE SO PHRESH RIGHT NOW!!

2008-09-28T20:22:00.000-07:00

I got hooked onto this video from my man Campo & Sam...this dude Tim Westwood is the illest muh fuc*ka to make it out of the UK!! his interview techniques are incredible and his enthusiasm is unlike any other...His interview with Jigga blows my mind ahahahaha

Check if after the jump!! yahhhhhhh
