I didn’t quite take a moment to acknowledge the decade. It’s amazing what happens in 10 years. My interest in music began more than 10 years ago, but I think the landscape that we were once accustomed to has changed the most in 10 years. The rise of file-sharing and Web 2.0 really began right before my teens which is why I’ve titled this blog entry as such–it’s a figurative sum, not a literal one, but the truth is I got into music at a time when walkman were dying and bootleg CD’s were what kept the music going. Little did we know even that would be damn near obsolete 10 years later. Mp3’s were a great alternative, but 56k connections and the possibility of getting a computer virus made downloading feel like entering a Red Light District. Napster helped solved that (somewhat), but even that had limitations.

And it’s not only dope because my sibling wrote and directed it. It’s genuinely well put together. Interestingly enough the project is based on real-life gang member Salvador Agron, who coincidentally took college courses at my alumni.

Usually my posts need some type of slick verbatim. This needs none.

The YouTube video isn’t as funny…

But if you watch the video on the Adidas website it ends with this brilliant image…

This video is a bit old, but I recently stumbled upon it on the Don blog. They usually present their video lookbooks with that stop-and-go style. Looks cool. Nice cardigans.

Really excited about this. I was a big fan of the original.

Notice some del Toro-styled monsters in this. The same team that worked on this needs to get that God of War movie out ASAP.

…for the most obvious rap video to get posted around the blogosphere. Lol. But in all seriousness this song/video is a classic. It’s a Queens thing. Maybe Rek and I will do a remake. Ha.

This is actually a bit old (the trailer that is). It’s scheduled to be released in February 2010, and a screening in NYC in January. Looks dope. I own the Hulk Vs. DVD and it was pretty good for a Marvel animated feature.

Went on a 9-day pre-holiday vacay. I know, I know–a bit random but I finally got out of the country. Pics coming soon. DR was great.

This dropped the other day. I was too busy blogging about my high school’s alumni to post it. I was also busy with the GOODIES blog. Didn’t really care much for the ending, being as how self-reflective endings seem to be the in thing. I don’t blame the director though. You usually get self-reflective after getting trashed. At first I wasn’t much into Cudi’s music (we’re talking June ‘08), but since then dude has made me a fan of his stoner-friendly music. Man on The Moon reminded me of the Silver Surfer–the story of a transplanted drifter constantly wandering and yearning for a sense of happiness and belonging. I’m not sure if that’s what he intended to do, or if anyone else feels likewise, but that’s my interpretation.
