Too much for my needs right now. I’ll be back, maybe.

Winter X Games 15

mystrb — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 06:26:31 +0000

WX15 has gone and passed. Viewers were witness to many firsts with progression thresholds shredded in many sports. From the gen pop perspective, it fully delivered on the promise of thrills and spills. As a collective audience, I think we should definitely be looking forward to X17. But first, I have to recognize the spots from the past games which were undoubtedly great. (Full disclosure, I worked on these. Regardless, I think you’ll agree, you haven’t seen anything like this.) A true full agency effort that I”m stoked on.

Mad props to Nic Sauve as well for killing it in the Real Snow comp. I’d love to see more of this content with X.

Supposedly an alternate ending by Yogi Bear’s animators. Rugged.

Kraak & Smaak

Dutchies Kraak & Smaak remix Jalapeno Records labelmates Smoove & Terrell’s “You Don’t Know”

And their own newly released track “Dynamite” featuring Sebastian. Art direction reminds me a bit of So Me.

The Desk

Since I was young, my favorite place in the world aside from my bed was my desk. It was a place for learning, for thought, and for exploration. It brought simultaneous focus and distraction. A set of physical boundaries where work was to be done (but often it was not.)

Hater’s Ball meets Cali Swag

mystrb — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 14:22:24 +0000

JD wish he produced this beat. It’s got that vintage Dupri sing songy rhythm perfect for his flow. He does a mediocre job with it.
C Smoove has a pretty good pass on this with the Milwaukee Bucks line.
The rest of Cali Swag is garbage.
B.o.B. comes in way hot. He then makes a hard left and proceeds to rap off beat. Terrible.
Bow Wow not really doing much for me.

Now that Weezy is out he is going to murder this Drought 3 style.

Who did it better?

Rump Shakin’: Halloween ’10

mystrb — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 19:38:29 +0000

It’s Halloween weekend. And we all know what that means…candy and lots of it. But that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the other great thing about Halloween…parties. You know what happens at parties don’t you? Rump shakin’. How does all those candied apple bottoms get to rockin’ and rollin’? Blame it on the funk.
