Pick-Me-Up Wednesday

And we're back youngsters!  Pick-Me-Up Wednesday!  Hope you enjoy the videos and they help you get over the hump (Pause... if that's even necessary).  You're comments are appreciated, thanks for everyone that's been hitting me up on and off of the comments page.

Soo.... does MSNBC keep it TOO Real?!?!?  You be the judge...

This is for all the trap n*ggas, block n*ggas, my street n*ggas.   

 

Shouts out to my cousin "Byrd" in that video.  He's doing major things in Cali right now with the acting, be on the lookout for him.  You might've seen him for a quick moment in Radio and Coach Carter.  

I love music for its efforts in breaking the language barrier and all, but this is OD.  SMH.  "Tuts Mah Bahday"

One of my favorites of all-time!  Live performance of T-Baby's "It's So Cold in the D"

And the cover...

Hope you guys are more lifted... a few more days to go and we've reached the weekend!  I'm taking final exams now and this SUCKS.

And back by popular demand (not so much):

During your child's well-attended 5th birthday party, would you, for $50,000...

• Do acid?
• Crack?
• PCP?
• Pot?
• Chainsmoke?
• Get very drunk?
• Smoke opium and dress up as a demented elderly Asian man?

Not so sure about how life'll be with the kids?  Understood... ok:

• Would you... watch a porno movie starring your parents for $1,000?  $10,000? $100,000?  What's your price?
• Would you... watch a porno movie with your parents for $1,000? $10,000? $100,000?
• Would you... star in a porno movie and then screen it with your grandparents for $100,000?  $1,000,000 for a scene with the same sex?  $10,000,000 for anything involving an ostrich, a slab of beef fat, and multiple wiffle ball bats?
  

It's ok if you feel uncomfortable answering, but you KNOW you have an answer in your head.  I'll leave you with this one:

IF YOU SUCCEED, YOU GET IT ALL.  IF YOU FAIL, YOU GET NOTHING!

• Would you... attempt to eat 60 McDonald's hamburgers in 1 hour for $1,000?
  
• Would you... attempt to run a Marathon in under 3 hours for $500,000 (you have 1 year to train)?
• Would you... attempt to hold your bowel movements for 2 weeks for $50,000?
• Would you... attempt to masturbate to orgasm 10 times in a 24 hour period for $2,400?  Using only PBS for your viewing pleasure?  Using only pictures of from STD Informational brochures?

Everyone can be bought.  Whether or not you face facts, you've already made your decision my dear readers... mwahahahaha!!!

Enjoy your days.

L.@.Me!

T.Y.M.E. Machine... Tuesday?!?!?

Ahhhh Hell Naw!!!

A wise man once told me not to fall off before I get on... I feel like that's what ALMOST happened.  I apologize for not posting T.Y.M.E. Machine Monday.  I know some people wait for that like the 1st and 15th, lol.  Anywho, I figured I'd try to make up for it with some quality crack-milk for the hungry children.  

"Hey Ice, how you gonna do that?" You ask.  

Here. 

Wale - "Nike Boots"

(This is pretty darn major)

Then, we give you the SUPER Remix featuring me and the homie AP (Ok, it's not official, but sometimes it be's like that).  I'm not sure if this is all a trip to the past ("Nike Boots" is an old song) or the future (this IS the Future of the DMV at a glance).  Not sure... but does it really matter?  Enjoy.

Wale featuring Ice the Villain & AP - "Nike Boots (SUPER Remix)

Icing on the cake... classic Hip-Hop.  JUST got the mp3 and did this almost a year ago.

Ice the Villain - "Serious" (Prod. by Shamroc)

Letter to the L.@.Me's (and anyone else reading)

Again, my bad for the brief hiatus.  If only you knew what I was cooking up in my absence from you all, you MIGHT forgive me.  However, no excuses, it's almost 2009 and I should do better.  That's what blogging is for, right?  Don't worry, I got us... 

L@.ME!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Better late than never... right?

Shouts out to all my friends, family, supporters, and L.@.Me's.  You are appreciated.  SERIOUSLY!

DMV YouTube Cypher Pt. 2: Mouse

Remember my "DMV YouTube Cypher" I did a few posts ago?  

I present to you... part 2 by Mouse aka The Waldorf Posterboy.

Enjoy!

*Applause*

I'm liking where this thing is going.  G*Two up next!

LATE T.Y.M.E. Machine Monday... SORRY

Sorry... I'll let the video do the explaining.

And we're off... this is the FUTURE!

Since this IS a typed document, I will go on the record saying that DRAKE could be the FUTURE of not only Hip-Hop, but music in general!!  There is NOTHING he can't do.  Call it what you want, I'm a fan.  STRAIGHT LIKE THAT!  He murders Lil Wayne on EVERY track (that I've heard so far, about 4 joints) and can do records like this... if YOU don't like it (Fellas) ask your girl if she does... POINT PROVEN.   I can soooo relate... music please!!!

Wowww.... Shouts out to YouHeardthatnew.com (Howard U. Alum)

Alright, this next one may not be the FUTURE, but i love it!!  A Few L.@.Me's may be able to relate.  This is PURE entertainment, and I LOVE "Off-the-top" Freestyles, so... here ya go!

ps 

You don't get the full effect unless you listen to the ENTIRE thing... let the brainwashing begin!

Ahh... refreshing... Sorry for the delay folks.  Hope I made up for it!

Stay tuned for more of the goodness.  I got new tracks on the way, I hear I need to give you more than just the old joints on T.Y.M.E. Machine Mondays.  Will do... 

DMV YouTube Cypher

Got some info on a YouTube Cypher for DMV Artists on www.whynotnando.blogspot.com (you should check it out) and decided to be the first to send in an entry to start off.  It's pretty much the classic style of cyphering; spit your bars, pass the mic.  Only thing is, it's got the new millennium twist so we're passing the mic over the internet (Cool, huh).  Hopefully more DMV Artists step up and we can really turn this into something.  Enjoy!

Shouts out to Nike Nando and Thrilla Nilla 

Pick-Me-Up Wednesday

Need a pick-me-up?  Good.  Here folks... Smile.

This is quite funny to me... 

Reminds me of home back in South Carolina... lmao!!

Ladies, you might not agree, but this is DEFINITELY a "Pick-Me-Up".  In so many ways...

Shouts out to Goadometalk.com for the video.

Whew, now wasn't that refreshing?!?!?!  

Now, I leave you with this question I read in a book the other day.  This question is only for the hardest, hungry, most thugged out of people (me, of course, lmao)....

Would you... wearing a mask, punch your grandmother (or oldest living relative) as hard as you can in the stomach, ONCE, for $10,000 is she never found out it was you?  Would you do it for $100,000?  $1,000,000?

ok....

Still hungry for more?

How much would it take for you to take a bite out of...

A Dead Rat?

A stick of deodorant?

A live snail?

A four year old Milky Way Candy Bar?

Your Arm?

A stranger's arm?

A Corpse?

A piece of you feces?

Ok, ok, I'm done... don't blame me, blame the book!  Oh how I love random humor. Peace.

T.Y.M.E. Machine Monday!

I don't know about you, but this feels like the beginning of a good week.  Also, I'm flirting with the idea of a dropping a mixtape soon... Yay?  Nay?  Lemme know... 

Either way, T.Y.M.E. Machine Monday!

LCD - "Hoes Takin' Pictures"

(I'll never forget first hearing this. HILARIOUS. But still a great song. So true.)

Chainz - "Lock N Load"

(Oldie, quality punchlines though as always)

Ice the Villain - "She Love Me, She Love Me Not"

(From the beat you can hear its from a while ago. Ahh... Teenage Love)

Hope you've enjoyed today's episode of "T.Y.M.E. Machine Monday".  Stay tuned.  I got a few things bubbling behing the scenes, don't wanna jinx it though... Follow my moves people... oNe.

Like this song...

Not as big a fan of this mixtape as I am the other 2 installments, but I respect him sharing some of his light and puttin' his folks on.  Drake is clearly the best feature on the entire project and only appears once.  Anyway, my favorite track is "Magic".  The beat is addictive.  R.I.P. Pimp C.

Yeah... um... not so much.

I don't know if this is funny or just strange, but I must say, Beyonce is a BAD jernt!!!

Hip-Hop...

SEMTEX TV: DELA SOUL, MOS DEF, NAS, WILL I AM, KANYE WEST, DAMON ALBARN ROC THE MIC @ THE G.O.O.D. MUSIC AFTER PARTY, LONDON, UK from DJ SEMTEX on Vimeo.

I love watching FREESTYLES!!  Not people reciting prepared verses, but off the top FREESTYLES!!  Even when people mess up or aren't as nice as when they write, there's nothing like seeing someone keep it in the essence of true Hip-Hop.  Gotta love it!

What You Been Up to Ice??????

Thanks for asking!!! 

Pick Me Up Wednesdays...

Week getting you down?

Need a Pick Me Up?

Then sit back, enjoy a laugh or two, and get your silly ass over the hump!!  

It's PICK ME UP WEDNESDAYS suckas!!!

I'm having a ROUGH week, so without further ad0... 

Let's start this off right.  EVERYONE knows someone like this... 

Is Hip-Hop Dead?  CLEARLY NOT! 

(If you haven't noticed, I'm a big Will Ferrell fan)

Things that make you go, "Hmmm...."

Shouts out to Tee

Ok... just because your week might suck like mine... BONUS!!!

(Disclaimer for the Internet Thugs: Seeing as though this is MY blog, I can do what I want, and therefore I post what I want.  If you have any issues with what I post... well... not really much you can do, but please refrain from playing the now homo "No Homo" game if you see anything similar to the video posted above and would like to oppose my preference in comedy)

Sorry folks, just thought I'd cover all bases and detract all Internet weirdos. Anyways, stay tuned and I hope that your week is a bit more bearable now.  Mine is. 

G.A.B. Interviews Ice the Villain

An interview from a few months ago... lmao at rapping her up at the end of part1.

(That was really 2 parts put together.  They asked it twice to get more shots.... TRUST ME!)

G.A.B. interview with Ice the Villain pt1


G.A.B. interview with Ice the Villain pt2

Shouts out to G.A.B. and WHBC.  

HU I got US!

DMV WE got US!!

Feeling it...

I'll be the first to tell you, I'm not the BIGGEST will.i.am fan, but I have the utmost respect for his style of music and his creativity.  Above all else, I love the momentum he helped to create in this year's election.  This video right here is pretty tight too.  

(I get chills everytime the video gets to 2:05.  POWERFUL.)

T.Y.M.E. Machine Monday!

We're here again!!  This is actually becoming something I look forward to, there's not much else anymore.  And we're off!

Ice the Villain - "Ouch"

Chainz - "See C"

Lil Wayne, Juelz Santana & Ice the Villain - "Hood $hit"

T.Y.M.E. Machine Mondays!  LEARN IT!  I'mma drop some new stuff in a bit, just hoping y'all understand that these songs are YEARS old.  Don't get it twisted, the evolution is disgusting, but until you see where we came from (GREATNESS), you wouldn't understand where we're going (PERFECTION).

-L.@.Me-

Umm.... Confused.

So, anyone that knows me closely knows the role that Erykah Badu plays in my life (If you don't know, don't ask, JUST THIS ONE TIME).  Anyway, she is very much the beacon for eclectic, soulful, and powerful music.  I would go as far as to say she's a genius in her own right.  

So, I'm on her MySpace page the other day and come across what you will see below.  Let's just say, I was a bit lost.  I mean, I respect an E. Badu co-sign, but this... well, to each his own. 

I have no more to say.  Observe.  PLEASE give your comments... 

Midnite - Supa Nova Slom

I still love you Miss Badu.  "Peace and Blessings".  Congrats on the new life.

Shouts out to Tee and raqstar.

Actually, while we're at it, let's get into something I REALLY like from the Queen.  

Erykah Badu & Ice the Villain - "Honey" (The S.H.I.T.)

I got more songs with her on the way (already done, but won't drop 'em yet)... man I'd love to make an album with her.  It might improve my diet and make me a sex symbol ;)

ROTFLMAO!!!

Ever needed a pick-me-up?  I have (ex: complications w/ the post below) lol.  And for that reason, I present to you a few jewels that work for me when I'm getting pissed off.  Enjoy!

"The Landlord"

"Good Cop, Baby Cop"

That's a funny little kid!!!  Maybe I'll start doing this "Pick-Me-Up" thing more often to help you get through the week.  Whatcha think???

Howard University 2008 Election Footage

A little blown I'm trying to convert the videos from my cell phone and the audio won't work.  AND, this "free download" has this corny "Evaluation Copy" on my stuff.  PISSED.  But, I promised footage, and I shan't go back on my word.  This does the experience NO justice!

Singing the Black National Anthem

Barack Obama has been elected President of the U.S. of A!

The streets were crazy afterwards.  This is Georgia Ave.  U Street was MUCH worse!

Even Ryan Leslie stopped by the Mecca and performed "Diamond Girl" and "Addiction".  Don't ask what it had to do with the election, just know that it happened.  Shouts out to him.  Genius.

Truly a historic moment.  Can't wait to tell my kids about it.  Still pissed I can't make this audio work for you... oh well.  Stay tuned suckas.... 

This WAS me...

Meant to post this yesterday morning.  My Apologies... 

I was blessed enough to be a part of Howard University's 2008 Election Watch.  It was truly a moving experience.  I will put the footage up as soon as I can, for SOME reason we have school today, lol.  Radio Practicum calls, stay tuned.  But for now, I leave you with a song that has en ENTIRELY different meaning from when I first heard it.  I had to have heard this song like 50 times up and down Georgia Avenue, in the McDonald's parking lot, in my friend's cars, rooms, and being chanted across campus....

Shouts out to my family, my ancestors, my friends, and the UNITED States of America!  We have a long way to go...
