Group Home



Some kid from school who knows nothing about rap asked me if I knew Lil' Dap. Shamed, I didn't. So I researched. As it turns out, Lil' Dap isn't some southern dude like I expected; in fact, he's an old school guy from New York who once was part of a tight duo called Group Home, along with some dude Melachi the Nutcracker. Wikipedia learned me on the two, and I downloaded their album from '95, Livin Proof. Lyrically they aren't super exciting, but while I gave it my first listen I noticed the beats were pretty much all the dopeness (instead of the wackness, duh. shitty fucking movie.). As it turns out, most of the album was produced by none other than DJ Premier. If I didn't have such a constant stiffy (aka BONER) for Dr. Dre, Premo would def be my #1 fav producer ever!!! (All apologies to the RZArector.)
Anyways, enjoy:

Serious Rap Shit - My favorite track, but surprisingly not produced by DJ Premier. Instead, it's his lyrical counterpart from Gang Starr, Guru, who also raps a bit in this one. Don't give up after the first 53 seconds; the beat totally changes in to some real funky gutter shit. (NOTE: I just discovered this, so it may be old news to you, but if you go to "File" then "Get Info" for individual songs, you can choose where you want the song to start on your iTunes. It also transfers to CDs if you set it, so you can cut out any embarassing blowjob sequences that might pop up. Or cut the song out and leave the beej, whatever.)

Supa Star - The above video, hit single, and featured on the GTA IV soundtrack.

Up Against the Wall [Low Budget Mix] - Great Premo beat.

Livin' Proof - Early '90s NYC rap in a nutshell.

Lil' Daps got a solo album coming soon, so look out. Hope you enjoy.

Out like rap ever being like this again.

Widukinds Top Ten Pet Peeves. OF ALL TIME!

I'm a happy person, but some things make me >:(. Tune in soon for my counter list of things that make me <('_'<) ^('_')^ (>'_')>. Also, please add your own.

10) Whenever a baseball crowd boos an opposing pitcher for making a fake pick-off attempt because they think he balked. Either know the game, admit you don't know what constitutes a balk (me), or admit you know nothing. Just don't pretend to know what you're doing.
9) People who pretend to know what they're doing. This really fucks shit up sometimes. Like when I had to fill up one of my boss' cars with gas, and by the time I got to the gas station I realized I had no idea how to open her gas tank. It could also be something like pretending to know how to operate a firearm before blowing your friends face off. This one covers a lot of ground.
8) If someone gets asked to "speak up", and then they just stop talking and restart talking at the same volume.
7) While you're sitting at a computer and someone comes to the cabinet next to you to get some files out and profusely apologizes for annoying you the whole time they're there, when in fact you wouldn't notice their presence in the first place. I'm trying to write a blog post, damnit. (OK seriously this just happened to me again after finishing that paragraph. Also, thank you for reading my "Roadkill Cafe" shirt out loud. I was not aware I was wearing such humorous apparel. I need to do some laundry.)
6) People who invite all of their friends on TheFacebook.com to go see their crappy high school band preform somewhere, or ex-JV lacrosse coaches who invite you to go watch them DJ in New York City.
5) Getting asked to do something for someone, doing it, and then receiving complaints about how you handled going through with the favor. Like when someone gets told to "buy some 40s", and when they come back with the merchandise, a certain special someone throws their head back and goes "ugghhghgnhgnghgngn...I hate OE!"
4) Drivers who do this:

I have a sunroof and they're driving a pink car!!1one1! lulz...

3) Wikipedia haters. Saying one should distrust Wikipedia because "anyone can edit it" is about on par with "don't smoke weed because it makes you lazy" in the world of terrible arguments. I'm sorry, but if I come across an article about a high school in which "Penis McPenistein" is listed among their alumni, I'm pretty sure I can figure out that it's fake (alright, UHS!). Don't be so fucking paranoid and stubborn to adapt to new times. Smoke some weed. Research Hellfire missiles and the FARC and giant squid on Wikipedia. There, I just planned your next date.
2) Asking for help and then totally rejecting the help. The cabinet bandit at my office does this shit, too. One time she complained that her files weren't writing to a CD at home (how am I supposed to help here?), and asked for alternatives. I told her to get a flash drive. She said those were too expensive. I told her to email it to herself. She said that she doesn't want anyone to read it, and she wanted an easy way to store a lot of files. So I told her to get a flash drive, again. Then she said she likes floppy disks and walked away. Thank you cabinet bandit for that titillating conversation.
1) Sideline reporters.

Another good one is when someone gets really upset and you tell them to "relax" or "stop yelling", and they just respond "you relax" or "you're yelling". CoughNamesakeCough...

Some spare change for our resident vagabond...

I have been severely lacking of ideas of late, but HomelessNigg complaining about his cereal got me to teh YooToobz:



The best part is...I still eat these fucking things. What an unbelievable product. The only reason I ever wanted these when I was little was because of those amazingly stoney commercials, and now I'm still eating these fucking things! Today I was sitting in LensCrafters, in the Financial District, two days after my 20th birthday...and I was eating a bag lunch with Gushers for dessert.
Those clever fuckers over at General Mills got a lifetime customer because of a commercial they made when they were probably stoned out of their mind. Motherfuckers.

Anyone remember Mrs. Mungers class from One Saturday Morning?



I thought it was funny when the two black girls were made super eloquent. But then they showed Gordon.
I swear to god this little series came about when the stoners who made Recess called up the stoners at ABC and were like, "dude we only got 22 minutes", and the stoners at ABC were like "dude. fuck. ok." This is up there with alot of the stuff I've seen on Adult Swim, and those guys make some weird shit.
