The Future...

I'm not sure what year it is anymore. It seems like this whole week has been "futuristic week" for me...

First, I watched the Matrix. Then, we bought lazer guns. And now, I come across these dope pieces of hardware...

Microsoft Surface PC


how ill is that? Can you imagine what this means for internet porn? But seriously, this is on some real "Minority Report" shit...

and then there's this...

Sony Flexible Video Screen


Can you imagine having a TV folded up in your pocket? C'mon now.

What's good Japan? I'm still waiting for my hoverboard...

New Song: "Let It Go"



Featuring Skywalkers, Rae, Wonderful, and D-Cise.
Produced by Febrio
Recorded at Skywalker HQ

An old, but still fresh joint off of The Skywalkers "Colorblind LP." To good music and good karma.

To-Do List

One of the more interesting To-Do Lists I've seen in a while. I just had to share.



Whitey's doing good by the way.

Patron x Steak x Eggs...

First of all, Pirates of the Caribbean 3 gets the thumbs up. But honestly, name a bad pirate movie...

And to the chick that was saving her seat for a friend - looks like she was a no show...

Shout out to Emily and Sterling on the drinks. And of course, the fried mac n' cheese. It was on hit son!...

and now, I present to you a murder. The usual suspects are KNX and Febrio of Skywalkers fame, and Dashes Clay himself. Cameos by 2-Tone of NBA fame, Rae of Rae fame, and Chef Boyar-dean of Culinary fame. Camera work by yours truly. The victim - some beat i've never heard before and a Beanie Sigel beat. Without further ado...



that's with Patron in the system, which was later followed by an early morning breakfast of steak and eggs, cooked by BMB's own personal chef, Chef Boyar-dean. (please believe it, believe it please)

life is good...

The game is called Traxx Pad. Rae and myself had the honor of visiting their studio to test the game out and it's madness f'real. Check the demo out below. And the intro that you see once the video starts up is the actual intro for the video game.



Other notable names participating are Crooks & Castles, Clyde Carson, URB Magazine, 17 Hertz, Traxamillion etc.

Check out Traxxpad.com for more info. Spread the word, this game is gonna be official f'real.

March 23, 2007 - The good folks at bmb chillin at 17 Hertz running through "All For You" (featuring Febrio, Rae and Wonderful) mixing into "Bababa."



And this is a painting our homey's Bryant and Dominic have been working on. Skywalker, NBA, and Hyshine emblems placed around and about with the "beautiful music baby" featured in the center.

Last night we were actually mad deep into a recording session (turned out 4 new joints that should be featured on here real soon, by the way) and while music was being made in one room, they were in another painting this. All in all, it was a very creative environment and it just ended up being one of those nights where everything came out right. Cheers to that.

But anyways, do take a minute and check out some more of Bryant and Dominic's work on their myspace page.

Until next time. Stay ugly.

Slow Day...

It's a slow day, so excuse me if i'm all over the place with this one...


shitty tattoos. Please don't get them. Make sure the artist knows what he's doing...


Copped a san disk reader for my digital camera. Took a trip downtown and this was the first picture I took. I should give a weekly update on this guy...



Transformers x Wamp Wamp. Like I said, i'm a sucker for ill mash-ups...

told you it was a slow day...

MJ, Fade Away, Perfect

Think you've seen every Michael Jordan highlight there is? Peep this 10 MINUTE highlight video called, "The Artistry of Michael Jordan," courtesy of Hoopsencyclopedia. Thank god for youtube...



I thought I've seen 'em all, but there were a bunch I haven't. Some stuff that looked rare as fuck. Dope compilation dedicated to his Royal Airness. This guy must've recorded almost every game/highlight package Jordan had. Keep in mind this video says "PART 1" on it...

the guy is a human highlight reel...

"I think we're dead..."

Feeling Nostalgic...

This gets me everytime. Word to ill video mash-ups...



...with that out of the way, peep this video of Ski explaining the making of "Dead Presidents." Classic song from Jay-Z's classic album, Reasonable Doubt...


The beat set the ambiance, and Jay just took it to another level...

But until then, I keep the trillion cut diamonds shinin brilliant/
I'll tell you half the story, the rest you fill it in/
Long as the villian win/
I spend Japan yen, attend major events/


Memories of seeing the music video on CMC and The Box are kicking in. And did I hear that he's going to do a making of "Luchini?"...

In the words of Rae, "staaahhhhpp it..."

5 Minutes To Kill...

A good timewaster from the good folks at adult swim. It's called 5 Minutes To Kill (Yourself). The title is self-explanatory. Stab yourself with staplers, drink from the office toilet, disguise as a pinata and get beatdown etc.; whatever it takes to make sure you're out of your misery before the 5 minutes is up.



Game-Genie hint: Get eaten by a shark on the second floor.

Accept No Imitations

My man sent me this picture of a t-shirt he happened to come across. For the record we never pressed up the beautiful tee's on white (and by the looks of it, thankfully so). Accept no imitations, support the cause, and be good ;)

Lazy Saturday Afternoons

-BBQ's in hurricane weather, you gotta love it.
-Yo this is art, b.




-The public bathroom group pose.

Monsta's Farewell.

It was a good day to be ugly. Around midnight this past Friday everybody met up at Monsta's pad to drink, sing off-key, pass-out, wish him the best, and say good-bye as he gets ready to move to Las Vegas. Here's a few pics from the festivities...

-Febrio taps out early. Fortunately he did hulk-up a few hours later and finished the night strong.


-NBA
-M*n** Makes M* H***s**e
-Always on another planet mentally, it's MonstaMonsta himself.
- Digga smugglin' Funyuns into the party.

-Wonderful and Digga in their classic "gimme-your-wallet" pose.

-Pictured here is the $100 shirt featuring Rae.



-Jugga KNX manages to put up yet another strong performance and takes the award for "Most Out of Control" for the 3rd party in a row. You can't stop em, son. You can't.
-And of course the perfect night-cap. Food fit for a beast.

Face Melter a.k.a. EUuuugh!

Dashes covered it nicely in the previous blog, but I still think these people don't get it yet...


Do you people out there reading this, as well as those that saw the game at home or ESPN highlights, know how nasty this dunk was? How filthy, disgusting and vile it was?...


...This dunk was so sick, it made even Adonal Foyle's face melt (more than it already has). Makes me think of the lyric...

"fiiiirst...i do it like this...put a look on ya face like ya smelt some piss..."

Stay Ugly (no pun intended)

We Still Believe...

7 in the AM, good lord. Fresh off of Monsta-Monsta's farewell "Leaving for Las Vegas" party, it was nothing but madness. I'll have some pictures for y'all later.

But being a bay area boy, I must let you know that this is what's good right now:

Baron Davis slams over Andre Kirilenko!

Blacking Out at 17 Hertz

Here's a couple clips pulled from the bmb archives.

Early December 2006, and on this night we all met up at the 17 hertz conference room to preview a rough cut of "The Lost Songs: Before They Were Pretty" (shameless plug). With too much corona, nothing to do, and the cd been-done listened to, Digga pulled out his mega-pod (no flomo) and we started running through the hundreds of beats FreshChuck laced between the week before this night, and this night. He's a monster. And because we don't like instrumentals staying as just instrumentals, a lovely little session commenced over a beat that we later used for "The Blackout."

Part 1:
Blacking Out at 17 Hertz 1

-Febrio followed by Keen. KNX, Soul, ChiefGood, and 2Tone also in the background.


Part 2:

- Jugga KNX followed by Keen.

Jackpot or Fucked?...

Is it just me, or is everybody on the internet trying to get their 15 minutes of e-fame?. I was ready to do a blog that needed 2-Tone approval, but he must've fell asleep at the computer, downloading a mixture of anime and Asian porn. (Yeah, That's right, I aired you out. DIRTY TOPS & CLEAN BOTTOMS COMING SOON! COP THAT!). So instead, I came across this internet treasure. Jackpot or fucked? You decide...

Shoot An Iraqi

An Iraqi man locked himself in a room and attached a controllable paintball gun to a webcam. Need I say more?. I won't front. I clicked the "shoot" button. It was too hard to resist. But before you get your panties in a bunch, pull ya skirt down...

1.) I don't even see the guy in the room.
2.) It gave me an error when I clicked it.
3.) I'm pretty sure this guy made the site himself. It's not like this has the "Dick Cheney Seal of Approval."
4.) I'm sure this site gets mad traffic anyways (especially from hicks wanting to get their dick wet, no momo), so i'll be lucky to get a shot in...

Have fun (or not) kiddies!...

You gotta love that.

Game 2, What It Do?...

Tonight, Game 2, Warriors vs. Utah...

And sadly, I can't be home to watch it. If the gods are on my side, I can hit up the on campus pub and catch the game. Dirty's Prediction - If Warriors get the W tonight, it's done deal for Sloan and his cronies in the rest of this series...

Before Youtube finds out and decides to axe it, peep this gem I discovered amongst the muck...

Death Race 2000 x MF Doom Mash Up...



It's so gutta...

Stay Ugly

Retirement Home Webcam

I don't know why, but this webcam has become part of my daily web-browsing rituals; right before www.beautifulmusicbaby.com and right after www.myspace.com/beautifulmusicbaby (shameless plug). 24-hour live feed of a retirement home in the bay area....

...i know, we really gotta get back to making music.



http://www.oiccam.com/webcams/index.html?/retirement/

Also, first person to make an appearance on this webcam will get a Rae autograph on their forehead. Good luck.

The Jump Off...



Yessir, the jump off is here. Beautiful Music, Blogging is officially in effect. Tell a friend to tell a friend...

Consider this headquarters for all things BMB - our music, our lifestyle, our bullshit. And trust me when I say there will be a lot of bullshit...
