Yo, we received this DVD about 2 months ago at Monday Night Mic Fights from my man K.O.  Its the third installation of his Say Word series.  This shit has some of the best rollerblading cats u will ever see, and from all over the U.S.  They even touch up Europe!  If you didn't know, well now you do.  This movie has an absolutely fucking killer soundtrack, that only add to the already sick quality shots!! 

Usually when u hear about a "skate" movie, it involves skate boarders.  No diss to them, but these cats on the blades are fucking fearless!!  Its a shame the took them out of the xGames like that.. Unfortunately everything is politicized nowadays, and our xpeoples don't seem to be immune to it either!  Keep crushing ish mf's!  

Educational Vidz... BOOMBACLAATZ!

Have posted these few vids many times before (myspace/fb/etc) but in the famous words of my man Jus, "Truth is Truth". So they are to get posted again! They aren't ALL the examples of what House Music brings, just a few. Not to mention, its this type of shit that helps cats to know WHAT house music is. There are a lot of misnomers all over the place.. People who don't know the difference between Soul House, Techno (crap), Dance/Clubby House (crap), Deep House, and Broken Beat.. Especially in Charlotte. Hopefully this clears up any confusion.

First up, and example of some Deep House.  These Brothas do their collective thing out on the floor in NYC.  Brooklyn T is ill (for those who know, u know!).  This clip is from the movie Maestro.

Next up, another deep house set spun by Mr. V.  Although, I would tend to associate this with some soulful house as well, as the MAWU girls are so damned SOULED out its fucking rediculous!  Let the ladies get open on you a minute...

Lastly on this list, is from a cat I met out in Seattle a few years back.  His name, Free (the soul shifter) off of his Beautiful One Man Show dvd.  Giving us some dope visuals to go along with the broken beat mix of Feist's, Gatekeeper

Lets continue to educate.  peAce.

Dream Mirror Vid (Maf Maddix)

Met an interesting woman today with a tattoo on her finger of a dove... When I asked why she had that tattoo, she said so it would be easier to "flip the bird"... Wit is often something taken for granted!

New Maf Maddix video below.. unSeen vision creation.. Enjoy!

Afro-Cuban Culture vidz.. pt.1

I've posted this on facebook before, but I found some other parts to it.  I'm still trying to find the name of the documentary in which music great, Harry Balafonte, explores African (Yoruba) culture in Cuba, and how it has been handed down over generations.  Many don't know about blacks in Cuba, and this is a great teaching tool.  Being half Cuban, I will never turn an eye on learning more about my mother's homeland.  Enjoy.  Flav out..

unHeard Sound Check

peAce,

Took a trip "out on the town" in this god forsaken "God City" this weekend to see if we could dredge up anything to DO around here while we all slowly vaporize from harmful gases.  In case no one knew, unHeard Sound, is but one, of many W.o.o.d.s.m.e.n cohorts that roam the globe.  They all couldn't represent this particular night, but the few who did, found a possible jewel.  Now we all know the jewel won't last, since no beauty ever truly lasts, but it could prove to be a very nice little target for future ventures.  

The spot is called "Crave".  Its a little lounge that sits on the opposite side of the bar Cans here in Charlotte.   What can I say?  The layout of the place is peace, but that doesn't mean too much most of the time.  They are considered a "dessert" bar, which is the new trend here in town.  Don't know how much I can trust it, simply because its part of a new trend.  And everyone knows that new trends die hard here in the south, save Atl.  The menu was pretty cool.  Our little group of vagabonds decided on the Chocolate Cake, and the Red Velvet Cake slices, which were both scores.  

The pocket DJ was a little suspect at first, but then slid into a nice little old school soul set. A few of his selections included; In The Rain by The Dramatics, and Why Marry by The Sweet Sensations. He no doubt had the same Shaolin Soul vol 1-2 albums I have ha!. Why was he a pocket Dj? No turntables. Only this funky looking contraption and a mixing board. I should've taken a flick.

Overall, the place was pretty chill, and has a shit ton of potential!  But we all know how far "potential" has gotten us before.  All we can do is try however.  Much of the reason "potential" only ends up being THAT, is because of us more so than anyone else.  Flav out.
