Infinivision: Pilot Episode - Classics [Video]

2010-01-28T01:40:00.000-08:00

This is the first episode of MY webseries, Infinivision.

I been trying to get a webseries poppin' for a little while now, but I never had a camera I could just carry around with me.

Fortunately, your boy just got a Flip Cam so now...I'm going ham with these videos. Now for those that don't know me, I'd like to say I make pretty entertaining videos for people. So just check it out, it's going to be a weekly series, a new episode every Tuesday at about 9pm. I can't say right AT 9 because you know...youtube does it's own thing sometimes but yeah.

In this pilot episode, I go downtown for The Cypher Show and run into Buzz Burrus, and I also participate in a cipher with Chavis Chandler.

Apple: The New iPad [First Impressions]

2010-01-28T01:33:00.000-08:00

So today, just like almost everyone else on Earth, I found out about the iPad. Apparently, it's striking the middle ground between an iPhone, and a Macbook. To many, this is Apple's attack at the netbook market that is oh so lucrative right now. So now, if you are taking the time to read this post from me, you probably want to know what I think about the device. Well...

I am disappointed.

I cannot help but be disappointed by this offering. Why? Because I feel that it could have been so much more. My very first thoughts were, "Okay, looks cool. But what exactly does it do?". There were two ways that this product could have went. I asked on my Twitter was this a large iPhone, or is it a small Macbook?

There's a VERY large difference. If the iPad would've been more in line with a smaller Macbook, then I would have been satisfied. That's what many people had drawn up in their minds. But what we got was essentially a larger iPhone. It's currently running on iPhone OS 3.2, but is modified for the iPad's use. When I had an iPhone, half of the amazement was that a product so small, could do so much! I had everything I needed in my pocket: AIM, e-mail, twitter, web, games, notepad, (no camera), the list writes itself.

But now we have a larger version.

For iPhone users: Do you imagine typing on a large scale iPhone keyboard? You can see how annoying that will be right? Yeah. You STILL have no multitasking because of the software it's running (even though I can see updates coming that would implement that), which means you won't be able to switch from surfing the web, back to AIM, and watch a movie all at once. *thumbs down*

I could write a large dissection of what the iPad does, but you already probably know enough about it. Almost every gadget site has been liveblogging from the Apple Keynote today. Or I could talk about how people are still going to buy this thing even if it doesn't really do anything NEW...but you probably know that. Apple has a knack for marketing, I can say that. So I'll save you that extra reading, but one last thing.

It's called an iPad.

Boy Burner: Blackberry [Video]

2010-01-06T23:54:00.001-08:00

Let me tell ya'll bout the homie Burner.

That boy show mad love, but up until this point I hadn't heard nothin' from homie. So I kinda took him for granted as a artist cuz I'd chop it up wit him but you nahmean, I didn't even know him but from off Facebook lol.

I seen that nigga at the photoshoot that Dante Marshall had on the 27th. I dapped him up but I ain't have a chance to talk to him like that cuz it was kinda loud in that bitch and I was wit my girl u dig, lol. But just so happens he got a video for his song called "Blackberry".

Never heard it till I just watched the video, but I like the song, and I like the visual for it. Not to mention your boy got that hot Blackberry Tour. Lol...so check the shit out, shit was directed by Gerard Victor with assistance from Myron Watkins.

After hearing/seeing this shit...

Look for that Boy Burner x JFin collab. lol.

Thirty.30: Exhibit J [Day 22]

2009-12-22T17:45:00.000-08:00

This is a dope picture above me.

But yeah man...this is one of my favorites so far. I was always like if I did a joint over this track...I would HAVE to do something epic. Because when I first heard this track I was so blown away by it. I wanted to make sure I did that shit justice you nahmean? So I did a verse originally and that was it but I wasn't satisfied with it, so I pretty much made a psuedo-song to it. It's still remnants of that original verse but it's much more to it now than I had intended.

Hopefully ya'll like the results.

Thirty.30: Royal Boy Bullshit 2.0 [FIK...Sundays?]

2009-12-20T20:23:00.000-08:00

I realized some shit.

I never did my F.I.K Fridays shit this week. So I'mma take a break on the Thirty.30 and do this shit TODAY. Up to bat we got a uhhh...Royal Boy Bullshit 2.0.

If you know about the original Royal Boy Bullshit, I pretty much went ham on it and I wanted to make it like a normal track on EVERY CD I ever do. Like years from now it'll be a RBBS 50.5 or some shit, but a lot of people didn't get like...

What makes Royal Boy Bullshit, Royal Boy Bullshit? The beats are different, there aren't reoccurring themes...

Yes. There actually are. Both songs are about 2 minutes in length with me just spittin' the most random shit (as always}, but it's heat. And my flows are always on some other shit. So I be on my...

Royal Boy Bullshit.

And plus, don't Royal Boy Bullshit 2.0 just have the coldest ring to it ever? Really, anytime you ever put NUMBER POINT O after some shit it sounds all high tech and shit.

Thirty.30: Fresher Den You [Day 19]

2009-12-19T20:42:00.000-08:00

So today I was having a LOTTA trouble writing, and I couldn't find no beat that I really just FELT. Other than Gucci Mane, and I told myself not to do another Gucci joint till Monday lol. But then I seen @PLofficial's tweet about him doing a show at the Motor City Casino for Big Boi and Monica's party [big moves], and I was like man I need to go over Fresher Den You. That's how this came about.

Shout outs to that nigga, I finally had met that dude at the Bullfrog for some shit, I can't remember off top what it was. It mighta been a mixer. But the nigga was cool as hell. So there you have it, Fresher Than You, Thirty.30 Style.

Tomorrow I think since I missed F.I.K Fridays and did a regular joint, I'mma drop a verse off Fin Is King 2 so I can get a quick refuel on my mind lol. Watch some movies and shit to get some source material. HOLLA!
