20th Anniversary: Dah Shinin'

Dah Shinin'  Smif-N-Wessun 

20th Anniversary

I just got the privilege of seeing Smif N Wessun perform at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto; celebrating the 20th Anniversary of "Dah Shinin'". I didn't make it in time for the opening acts...but got there just in time to bump into Tek by the bar and got my vinyl signed before he was due on stage. As Buckshot was hitting the stage with classic joints....I couldn't help but feel a overwhelming feeling of nostalgia. The security was tight and I almost got thrown out for lighting a spliff....but was quick witted and avoided being ejected from the venue. As Smif N Wessun hit the stage I was past tipsy and felt like I was back in '95....They performed all the classic joints with a dash of some recent work. I threw together a highlighted clip of the performance(which can be found below), but despite being in the front row....they ran thru the crowd and performed "Sound Bwoy Bureill" standing on a bar in the back corner....after the show Smif N Wessun hung out to sign shit and take pictures with fans...I got steele to sign my vinyl before I bounced. Overall the show was great and it was the best ten dollars I ever spent....Mind you, I got my ticket the first week they went on sale and people were paying twenty five dollars at the door.....

                   Steele got ink'd up just before the show by Toronto's very own Scoot Mason

To Pimp a Butterfly-Kenrick Lamar (Micky Bluntz-Album Review)

To Pimp a Butterfly - Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar's album "To Pimp a Butterfly" was due to release on March 23rd, 2015., but has been released a week early. With his critically acclaimed singles "I"(Prod. By Rahki) and "The Blacker the Berry" (Prod. by Boi-1da, Koz & Terrance Martin) being stand out tracks on the album, the album is packed with great music. My personal favourite is "You Ain't Gotta Lie(Momma Said)" (Prod. by LoveDragon) for the simple fact that it takes on a smooth vibe but holds so much truth lyrically. I was also feelin' "Complexion"(Prod. by Thundercat, Sounwave, Terrace Martin & Antydote) and "U" (Prod. by Taz Arnold AKA Ti$A, Whoarei & Sounwave). Overall the album is layered with great melodies, deep lyrics and sound production that has great soul-jazz-funk inspired beats. Get your copy at itunes today....

Michael Jordan is an official billionaire....joining the Forbes Billionaire List

Michael Jordan is now an official billionaire....joining the Forbes Billionaire List. Air Jordan was one of the highest paid athletes and also makes a healthy living from Nike payouts. The Jordan brand grossed an estimated $2.25 billion in 2013, earning his Airness some $90 million. His most valuable asset is his stake in the Charlotte Hornets, worth more than $500 million. The value of all NBA teams went up after Donald Sterling went on his rant and was forced to sell his team due to his actions and Steve Ballmer bought the LA Clippers for a staggering 2 billion. Forbes puts MJ on the list with a net worth of 1 billion dollars. That must look like pocket change to Bill Gates (net worth 79.2 billion) and Warren Buffett (net worth 72.7 billion). The only reason I'm posting this is because Michael Jordan's shoe had and still has such a huge impact on Hip Hop culture.

The number 3's and 5's are my favourite....Which one(s) are yours???

Side note...The number 3's is the first pairs to bare the Jumpman logo.
