Playing GOD
Whussgood!
So Weezy sold A Milli after all. I'd say the tracks i dug into most was "Doctor Doctor". Koko rang me up the day it dropped just to tell me his favourite quote from the album - "But I'm a Doctor, they dont understand my writing!"
Thats pretty sick.
In anycase, now that NBA season is over, Euro08 takes my full attention. And tonight, i got my money on Germany to be 2 up at halftime. $200 please! Anybody wanna play God and make this happen?
Speaking of GOD... check out the video

Garnett & the Celtics takes 08!
Whussgood!
Celtics takes Game 6 and the title by blowing out Lakers by 39 points.
Finally, its Game 6, and Celtics takes the crown as this season's NBA champion. Im ecstatic. Talk about a long road to see success! After 12 seasons of almost single-handedly carrying Timberwolves through thick and thin, he gets traded to Boston, along with Ray Allen (who also 'suffered' 11 seasons without winning any rings) and well...the rest is history.
Prior to this, "The Big Ticket" has been a beast in the game, earning every accomplishment possible, including Most Valuable Player of the 2003-04 season, NBA Defensive Player of the Year of the 2007-08 season, being named to eleven All-Star teams and being named to eight All-NBA and All-Defensive Teams. He is also the all-time leader in NBA seasons played with averages of at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists per game.
So its nice to finally have a trophy.
some of KG's best moments through his career according to NBA

something to ponder
Whussgood!!
Over the last week, i've come to seriously think about what improvements our music has made here in Singapore. My first thought was that most will say it is little to none. But then again, it is those people who dont really come out to the gigs, come on to this page, or any of the other active writers and practitioners of hiphop. But that's another story altogether.
What are the improvements? Well, the fact that we have regular monthly showcases provided by clubs like Butter Factory, Zouk, MOS, Home Club, etc, and indie promoters like 65&Hope, Beats Society and Pushin On to name a few. But how many really puts the local guys in the tangle with the international acts. very few do. now. i wonder really if we can move forward past this stage in our progress.
As an artform, i certainly think all the people who's taken a proactive approach, at one point or another, has helped HipHop and its related artforms to the foreground. We are included in street festivals, we have grafitti for art installations, dance crews are popping up every where, and we get to see this happening before us. Its nice to be frank.
And alot of it is also because of the push by the mainstream market - HipHop is now officially Popular. therefore, i will have to say that we are now considered pop music. dont go boo. its true. but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Micheal Jackson is the King of Pop and i do recall him making R&B.
So what is our next step? Why cant we move forward? Sure for the love of the music we can do something greater. But herein lies the problem - sort of.
Many feel that by doing it for the love, most prefer not to tarnish that motive by staying broke - whether by choice or bad decision, thats left to them. Yet, that is where we need to move forward. We have to keep funding our music. And if you're apart of the music, that means funding yourself! Or in other words...GET PAID!
So fuck exposure, i say we get paid for being exposed. Im tired of promoters/labels/agents/ and all others saying its for exposure. Even if you're performing to the president - get paid, then donate that money to charity if you really dont want to keep it. That's what i'll do. Perform for free for a charitable cause - not for exposure. I dont need to tell you the benefits of money. you can figure that bit out yourself.
I love making my music. I hate starving.
Who wants to do something about this?

ps. some of the most talented cats i know, stopped making music because when you're out of school, and free from National Service, you have things like responsibility to your home, family, and bills. just a thought.

Hope Awards...
Whussgood,
So far 2008 has shaped up to be preeeeeeetty nice for
us here in Singapore. Everybody seems eager for a nice come back. Bedsty pretty much went along with it too. We've made some new friends, witnessed some new talents emerge and seen the music here progress.
Itseems fitting then that Freaky Z has set up Hope Awards. This is an award ceremony for the people who have been contributing to our scene here. Its entirely by popular vote so for those who is on a one-track "i do
it for the love of hiphop" will be very happy. Make a hot song, drop a stunning live show, and we'll give you props. So kudos to Freaky Z for this.
Oh, did i mention 1Asia is nominated too?
send in your votes for 1Asia to 65hope@gmail.com
