The Biggie Tribute

As many of our readers and friends already know, yesterday was not only Daylight Savings Time but also the 11th year anniversary of the Biggie’s death on the corner of Fairfax and Wilshire. My homie Mind ELv8 uploaded some best of biggie mixes/tributes for us. Way better than that crappy Biggie tribute that came out this year with Bizzy Bone and Chingy (WTF).

Laptop Cruisin’

I will let you in a on 2 secrets of my listening pleasure. Sometimes I get sick of listening to my iPod on shuffle b/c God keeps on playing tricks on me by playing back to back Whitney Houston songs (which I have 3) out of my 80 gig library. Sooo…I go with option #2 and #3.

Option #2 - Scion Radio

Favorites:

The Rub Radio w/ DJ Ayres, Cosmo, and Eleven

TruElements radio w/ J. Period

Option #3 - Deezer

Simply search for an artist and listen to the catalogue online. Try it! Look up A Tribe Called Quest.

Thank me by leaving a comment or a better option for music. Btw, Pandora was so last 2005.

Los Pimps de Los Sneakeritos

Def if you are on the East Coast, go drive up and see 3 legendary hip-hop acts, dope shoes, and one of my favorite DJs - J. Period. If I was in NY, I would be there. Instead, I will be in Kansas City. I heard its the new London. We’ll see.
