This is undoubtedly the song that ended up putting me on OG 3-6. They were too good when they were on their dark, underground stuvvs.
FILM = LOVE! Just developed my first roll (well, my second to be totally honest). My first roll got destroyed in what was a simple rookie film-user mistake. Now that I’ve sort of gotten a gist on how film works, I’ve become even more of a fan than I originally was. I hate to get involved in that whole FILM vs. DIGITAL battle, but IMO I honestly do believe film cameras have a slight edge. it’s that increased DOF that I get. the intimacy in the pictures & the translucent tones portrayed..the grain, and the vintage-y feel everyone has started to crave for. these are all things I value in photography that my $70 film camera gives me, & that the expensive EOS 5D that I’ve used in the past cannot. I won’t lie theaux - keeping up with the film life is gonna be expensive. dropped almost $15 to get 24 exposures developed..but I’d say it was worth it, at least for my first time. I’d definitely recommend developing your film DIY to save tons on the hobby. I’ve still got tons of pictures to take & things to learn, but so far film has definitely took my heart.

invite over that indie girl you’ve lowkey always wanted at your crib on a bland Saturday night to ‘chill & do nothing’. you know - that smart, spontaneous, adventurous & nonchalant semi-hipster, DIY girl who prefers having guys as friends, strictly utilizes her bike as a means of transportation (in a grunge-y sundress), & has an iPod full of Psychedelic rock & Juicy J. she kinda acts like & resembles Tina from IJWMPB. throw this song on the iHome, an acoustic speaker system, or anything that can play music of high quality gently, & sparks are guaranteed to fly.
those glasses…WHAT ARE THEY CALLED. been looking for years
^^^ this. literally, copy & pasted. I don’t usually reblog, but who on earth knows where I can get my hands on those?! o, & s/o to Theo for easily being one of the most innovative dudes out now (fashion-wise). I don’t think he’s completely hip as to how many people currently wanna be him.

different people have varying opinions on what a ‘top anything’ should be in regards to music. for me, it’s definitely about content, but it’s also about that overall feeling you get when you listen to an album. this ‘feeling’ cannot be described. you just know when you get it - it’s a feeling in your gut that lets you know that you’re listening to something timeless. something which cannot be replicated in any way, shape or form. this leads me to my next ‘top’ listing…
have you ever listened to an album and thought that if there was a way EVERYONE on earth could listen to it at the same time that you were, it would solve terrorism, wars, & other global evils? if you haven’t, I definitely have. it may very well sound inconceivable, but i’m not backing down from that belief.

KidsWithoutACause…SuperNovaNGrauze. tomorrow marks the official one year anniversery of “The ‘Say Who?’ Debut” by these cats. last year was fun, man. I remember I’d always stay up til 12 aimlessly typing lyrics in my blackberry when I could be studying for WHAP. I wouldn’t even really call that a mixtape or anything; it was more of a project, completed over a span of one week (or however short our SB was last year). being that dude that always has a camera, I had the opportunity of documenting KWAC HEAVY during that entire week. it’s preposterous how much work was put into this project - especially considering time constraints, and the fact that we were all juniors who’ve never released music in our lives. these guys were everywhere, whether it was photoshoots with sade, me, features with L.A.B., or even stirring up a little beef w/ some people in the hoco area who may or may not have felt threatened by the whole CHB/6G vibe. considering the fact that we all started rapping that year, I definitely believed (and still kinda do) that we held an advantage over the known rappers in hoco at the time..not taking any shots theaux. the project wasn’t that bad, and hey, if you somehow find the DL link, you can get a chance to hear me rap for what will probably be the last time ever haha. anyway, here’s some poorly compiled unreleased footy of these guys from last year messing around & hipping the world to what exactly KWAC stands for.
hey, what’s the true significance behind 4/20 anyway? ever since we were little 8th graders (& probably even earlier than that for some of ya’ll..) we’ve unconsciously been aware that today is a ‘smoker’s holiday’. as we got older, many of us actually used this day to smoke for the first time - further intensifying that whole “traditional” aspect of 4/20. the main problem w/ everything is that no one really knows why they’re smoking. I’ve heard that 4/20 is Bob Marley’s birthday, the day he died, the day one of his sons were born, and other outrageous things like that. it’s actually pretty funny how confident people can be in their viewpoints even when they’re blatantly wrong.
I will admit that I know absolutely nothing about 4/20 - but then again, I don’t necessarily act like I do. smoking has become more of a ‘been there, done that’ type of situation for me. whether you wanna believe it or not, after a certain period of time experimenting, you should start realizing that being sober is the move in every sense of the word, (except for very special occasions, of course). I am, however, completely aware of how important the music aspect of 4/20 is..which is why I’ve compiled the mixtape, THLNIUSL: #SourHourMarathon - Smoker’s Delight. there’s stuff on there for everyone: from the things you’ve already heard, never heard, and never been exposed to - all put together about 30 minutes ago. it’s absolutely essential to bump this all the way through w/ no skips..on a proper system or decent headphones. so whether you’re hip to what 4/20 really means, or if you’re just another sheep following the herd, at least your tunes will be on the 1, no? riiiiiggghhht (Smoke DZA voice) haha. #smokeup
