Talking Heads was an American New Wave band formed in 1974 in New York City and active until 1991. The band comprised David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth and Jerry Harrison. Auxiliary musicians also frequently made appearances in concert and on the group’s albums.

The avant-garde musical style of Talking Heads combined elements of punk rock, new wave, pop, funk, world music and art rock. Front man and songwriter David Byrne contributed whimsical, esoteric lyrics to the band’s songs, and emphasized their showmanship through various multimedia projects and performances. Critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine describes Talking Heads as being “one of the most critically acclaimed bands of the ’80s, while managing to earn several pop hits.”

In 2002, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Four of the band’s albums appeared on Rolling Stone magazine’s 2003 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and the Channel 4 100 Greatest Albums poll listed one album (Fear of Music) at number 76. Their concert film Stop Making Sense is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of the genre.

FACT: In an interview with VH-1, Ice-T stated that “Psycho Killer” was the inspiration for “Cop Killer”

Prowling the internet for something to read today I stumbled onto something pretty cool. It’s called ‘Sanza Hanza’ which means ‘King Surfer’ and is a photozine and upcoming mini documentary. Basically there is a crew of kids called V.I.R.U.S (see title for meaning) from Soweto, South Africa’s largest ghetto. Whilst dealing with the pressures of being impoverished and not representative of the western views of SA they are also a fucking insane bunch of daredevils! What benefits do they get from doing this - I don’t know and frankly I don’t give a shit, what matters is that they do it and it’s fucking badass!
‘TUPAC’

Seven performs a trick called 'Graveling' which basically involves dancing along the moving gravel at 45 mph to create the illusion of running at the same speed as the train.

BAPTISTA

Peep teasers from the movie at the STREET CARNAGE BLOG. If you want to order the photozine and can part with your hard earned 4 pound sterling then it’s available to buy as well.

I might even see if i can catch the tide on the way to B-town this weekend, just need to figure how I’ll open the doors to get outside the trizzzain…. and on that note.

The Meaning of Dope

SIck new Blog for those who love to scour the depths to find that old school clip…

“During a time where immediate answers can be found at a glance on Google or search on Wikipedia, digging is downloadable and footage is as findable as a peruse on YouTube, it’s difficult to find an active Hip-Hop head who cares to be a fan of this culture for their own reasons outside of past times and popularity.

The Meaning Of Dope looks to stand as a respectable ground hosting some of this culture’s past prize moments and memories, spanning from videotaped classics to street team S.W.A.G., and from personal stories as active fans experiencing Hip-Hop’s “Golden Era”, to posting mix-tapes from a time when they needed to meet two criteria - mixing, and being on tape.

We pride ourselves on putting young cats onto shit they’re guaranteed to have never seen live, and giving some nostalgic sparks to the older heads who feel that time has spoiled their art.

We Welcome Ya’ll to The Meaning Of Dope.”

You’s a HO!
September 8, 2008, 7:56 pm
Filed under: Sounds

There is no story to go with this tune. It basically is just straight up the funniest thing I’ve heard for SO LONG. Scroll down for the lyrics, but listen first - THERE YOU HO AGAIN!


Ho by Ludicris from 2000’s Incognegro

Ho (Ho)
You’z a Ho, (Ho)
You’z a Ho, I said that you’z a Ho (Ho)
You’z a Ho, (Ho)
You’z a Ho, (Ho)
You’z a Ho, I said that you’z a Ho (Ho)

You doing Ho activities
With Ho tendencies
Hos are your friends, Hos are your enemies
With ho energy to do what you do
Blew what cha blew, screw what cha screw
Y’all professional like DJ Clue,
pulling on my coat tail
And why you think you take a Ho to a Ho-tel
Ho-tell everybody, even the mayor
Reach up in the sky for the Ho-zone layer
Now C’mon playa wants a Ho always
And Ho’s neva close, they open like hallways
So here’s the whole cake for your Ho Ho crew
And everybody wants some, cuz Ho’s gotta eat too

Chorus

You can’t turn a Ho into a house wife
Hos don’t act right
There’s Ho’s on a mission and there’s Ho’s on a crack pipe
Hey Ho, How you doin’ Where you been?
Probly doing Ho stuff Cuz there you Ho again
It’s a Ho wide world, that we livin’ in
Feline feminine fantastical women
Not all, just some
You Ho who you are
There’s Ho’s in the room, there’s Ho’s in the car
There’s Ho’s on stage, there’s Ho’s by the bar
Ho’s by near and Ho’s by far

Chorus

You got a run in your panty-Hos
Even your daddy knows
that you sucking down chocolate like daddy-os
Your Hos are ho-rrible, ho-rendous
On taxes ya’ll writin’ off, Hos as dependents
I see the Ho-rizon, It ain’t surprisin’
It’s just a Ho-asis, with ugly chicks faces
Hos don’t feel so sad and blue
Cuz most of us niggas is Hos too

Chorus

Because Jay Sean is GASH.

But i like Boy Better Know and the verses on this track.

My favourite 2 are:

‘If she says it’s ova then it’s ova, tell her she’s lucky like a 4 leaf clover

But you keep on ringing her Nokia, worst think about it, she’s on Voda’

‘Forget the knock knock knockin, making a scene 4 neighbours are clockin’

You need to take control, make her know if she dont open the door ur boppin’

But on a better note this is….

This video is well old, but it reminded me of this time where I was chilling at the bar with my pal Claire and her mate comes over and says hi and it turns out its Kid Sister with her boyf A-Trak. Safe.

So he’s just about to go on stage so does one, and Kid Sister is getting ready for her set by getting a bit blitzed. Drinking on your own is no fun so she orders a load of shots of cognac and pops a couple in her pint and a couple in mine….. ghetto drinking carried on all night - Baltimore style.
