Time Spent Gigabytes Obliterated
Just to play devil’s advocate:
Let’s for one second agree that immigration is a crime and that the people who employ these immigrants for pennies on the dollar are innocent. Lets ignore the fact that the economy would go into shock if we lost the cheap labor provided by immigrants from Asia Africa and South America (not all immigrants are Mexicans. Stop giving the quote unquote enemy the same face).
If you subscribe to this logic then even you, being a reasonable person cannot pretend to see justice in housing and jailing innocent children for committing no crime, apart from being born to the wrong side of the economic see-saw. The Bush era policy on everything from economics to war has had a deep seeded impact on our way of living. I can only imagine what the landscape of this country will look like in twenty years.
Land of the free home of the brave,
indigenous holocaust and the home of the slave.

The Least of These - Trailer (by indiepixfilms)
VIDEO: The Least of These explores one of the most controversial aspects of American immigration policy: family detention. As part of the Bush administration policy to end what they termed the catch and release of undocumented immigrants, the U.S. government opened the T. Don Hutto Residential Center in May 2006 as a prototype family detention facility. The facility is a former medium-security prison in central Texas operated by CCA, the largest private prison operator in the country. The facility houses immigrant children and their parents from all over the world who are awaiting asylum or deportation.
Sigh.
Band, True Widow’s A.H.A.T.H.H. feels like floating on a stretcher from a codeine induced coma, through a dark cloud of distorted guitar riffs. Your Guides on this journey; Lead singer Dan Phillips and bassist Nicole Estill lend their voices more to the backdrop than center stage, this lets you experience the music as a whole without missing any of it’s intoxicating qualities.
Overall the album blends well together and is short enough to satisfy without sounding bloated from extraneous music. Stream album in full on NPR.org links below and check out their blog for upcoming shows.

Tiger: Thanks for having me
Jimmy: It’s been a year and a half since you’ve been on our show.
Tiger: yup,yup
Jimmy: What have you been up to?…
Tiger: Oh nothing.
Right there you can feel Tigers head about to explode but he brushed it off and kept it moving. The match between him, Amy and jimmy was hilarious check it out. Here

Video : Outasight It’s Like That
Ready for the warm weather OS drops the visuals to It’s Like That. Interesting how he seems to have no hangups about how rappers should look or act and yet spits better than a few of the new guys. He may be the most comfortable Hip Hopper, seriously.

Brooklyn! That is all
Sounds good smooth lyrics throughout from the blacksmith, I cant help but hear hints of Fifty in the hook. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, just saying.

Source: Smoking sectionSo I was checking out some pictures of runway models like us gangstas do (Harlem stand the f*** up yeah! yeah! aye) and I saw the Hakaan 2011-2012 fall collection from Paris fashion week.
Now first I would like to say: I like it , they’ve got some creative designs and the clothes are beautiful.
But…
Some of these bitches on the runway look like they got slapped by a Vietnamese pimp on the way out the club; like they got stabbed and did a little blood letting for that porcelain heroine addict look.
Exhibit “A” Cyborg chic
Lookin like she’s trying to find John Conner and stop the rebellion
Exhibit “B” Night of the dead living
She’s barely standing I mean look at her I think she died two days before the show and zombied the runway out. Zombies are in this season.
Exhibit “C” Wind Tunnel face.
The Grinch who stole the last half M&M from the green room.
Then they brought out the man behind Hakaan and it made sense. It’s Danny Devito! Mister It’s always sunny himself or not, though designer Hakaan Yildirim bears a striking resemblance.
Disclaimer: I am but a mortal man and have flaws, not many but they are there. I don’t make fun of peoples looks, however these Fashionistas are trying to tell beautiful healthy goddesses that women are supposed to look like this, that the road to perfection is paved in starvation and what looks like blood loss I can’t quite explain it. Never the less, love your self sexy queen of all the earth and stars. For you are perfect in every way and the thought of you brings a smile to peoples faces.
You just need the right people and energy around you.
…
And let me borrow five dollars I got you on Friday but don’t cash the check till’ midnight I don’t need another over draft, and child support is next week.

A week or so ago the entertainment world was abuzz with it’s ominous description of Charlie Sheen’s outbursts. Now after his massive one man media blitz Sheen has been #Winning all week. Like it or not he is living his life to it’s fullest, and has become something of a shaman style wordsmith.
Memes and parodies of the one with tiger blood are everywhere, but how can someone keep up with this bombardment of charlie sheen quotation awesomness?
You don’t have to. Some poor magnificent bastard at Complex Mag has compiled a few of his greatest hits and invented the Charlie Sheen Sound Board chock full of Sheen auditory gems like:
“Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body”.
And
“I’m not Thomas Jefferson, he was a pussy”
*Sigh*
Weeping children…wipes tear…
Use it to prank call your mom or blast it from your iPhone at church. I can’t wait for the app store & android market to piggy back.
Need to insult your peers with the eloquence of Roman scripture and the loquacious, unhinged, mental instability of Muammar Gaddafi? Yes friend there’s an app for that.

Confession: I like Oj da juicemans new mixtape DAMN IT.
Alright real talk I grew up listening to Biggie Gangstarr Nas UGK and outkast but that doesn’t mean I can’t like the quasi coherent Culinary art school 2 I fux with this.
Is it a dissertation on the state of the economy,hip hop or Libya? No. Does he care? No. If you feel this is going to ruin the world than keep ignoring it. And yes I feel this is better than the other guy I spoke on.
It’s not for errbody but Here go if you’re interested.
