I just seen this video today and it's fuckin' dope! I liked the song when I first heard it and this video just brought the true beauty of this musical composition.

Cannonball
Here is another short documentary from the same guy that brought you the Scrapertown Documentary on scraper bikes in Oakland. His name is "California is a Place" of vimeo, Cannonball is one of his earlier videos depicting how the recession fucked up the city of Fresno, thus leaving many, many nice homes with pools in foreclosure. Now, that these houses are vacant and some towns left deserted, it left a gigantic amusement park for Skaters to skate pools. Another mans garbage is another mans treasure. In this case, ONLY IN CALIFORNIA!!

OAKLAND, CA "Home of the Scraper Bike"
Why do I love California, especially the Bay Area? Because, of its rich culture. We are innovators, trendsetters, and we have a beautiful story to tell. "The Scraper Bike King" Short Documentary can be seen at the 'Cannes Independent Film Festival' May 12- 23, 2010. Enjoy this!

Drugs in Philippines, Guns & Guillotines
Capone & Noriega are back! Other than the contextual context of the song, I felt hip hop! It must be the beat, the goggles, and Carheart.

Top 10 Bay Area FRESHMAN!
This list was put together by 106 KMEL's resident DJ; AMEN in effort to promote Bay Area's young and rising talents. The list is in no particular order either. In my opinion, I think these freshmen have tons of potential. These videos are based on the "recently uploaded" feature on YouTube. My 2 cents I'll keep to myself, scream at me!

Ironman 2: After the credits
I caught Ironman's midnight showing last night because just like everyone, were all Marvel geeks at heart. In my opinion the sequel was just as good as the the first. I can't hate on Robert Downey Jr. The guy plays Tony Starks perfect AND Scarlett Johansen is a cold hearted killer. Well, other than a review that wouldn't do the movie justice, I wanted to share with you the easter egg at the end of the credits for the people that would rather leave when movies are done. I did. Enjoy!
THOR!

Wu Tang vs Waka Flocka
The beef is not totally targeted at Waka, but more of the lyrical content of all these cookie cutter rappers these days. Method Man is speaking the truth on whatever radio show he's on, alongside with Ghostface. It's true though, the kids don't know the roots of Hip Hop. I don't even think that most of these X generation kids know that it consist of 4 major elements. SMH.

Beat session with Lee Majors & Dru Down
Dru Down, the mack of the year is fresh out and the big homie, Lee Majors has him in the Stay Tooned studio working on his next album. That night Lee Majors made it a mission to find some major slap. He went through over 100s of beats that night from his email, but gave me the opportunity to slide by the Oakland studio to play some personally for Dru Down and himself. It went well. I wanted to showcase Dru Down at work more than anything else. So, not too much Dex Beats and more of Dru in this vlog.
Dru Down's album "Chronicles of a Pimp" will be releasing this year sometime in the Summer, so be on the look out. AND I believe Lee Majors is coming out with an album entitled "Turkey Bag Boy" as well.
Lee Majors also gave me a snippet of a track with himself and Jessica Rabbit over a Dex Beat. It sounded ill and mentioned a possible video. So, stay tuned!! Enjoy.
