iGhettoBlaster

Eff what you heard, this is the GOAT of all iPod docks/players! If you've ever looked for an excuse to take it back and rock an iPod on your shoulder, this is the only way to do it.

Built around a vintage Lasonic boombox, it still has most of the OG features like a radio tuner and EQ adjustment while introducing new ones like a USB port and A/V output so you can play videos.

I wonder if it has an alarm clock function so I can rock it on my nightstand.

The Closing of World Records

Before Serato, when DJs actually had to dig for music, World Records in Alhambra was one of the stops on my "record shopping days". They would always have the newest radio joints as well as a decent house area. The staff was always super friendly and very knowledgeable. Let's not even get into their annual DJ battles; I'll save that for another time.

Thanks to Buddhabong for putting me onto this video - it was shot during their closing party, where they had one last celebration before shutting down. I don't remember why I didn't make it out that day but plenty of cameos in this vid from Buddhabong, Tropik, Source, Goose, Roldan and many more.

No Longer On The Fence



I'm a sucker for good marketing and pretty packaging. I was a little undecided on the whole DJ Hero video game thing but this special edition of it just convinced me. I NEED this game!

It's called the Renegade Edition and it features a different colored turntable/mixer, a carrying case that converts into a stand (!) and a 2 disc CD set, featuring unreleased music from Jay-Z and Eminem.

What recession? I'm definitely coppin!




Sausage Party

Thanks to everyone who tuned in last night to catch me do my thing on DJ Buddy TV. The theme of the night was "Testosterone" and we talked about lots of things guy related from MMA to P90x (will I ever live down "DJ Forearms"?). Big ups to J-Fresh, Jolo The Cholo, and last but not least, DJ Buddy. Good times as always!

And if you missed it, here's the ep for your viewing pleasure.

It's DJ Buddy TV, holmes!

It's goin down one more time!

Catch me back on the best Wednesday night TV show alongside MC J-Fresh (A-List) and the host-with-the-most, DJ Buddy! Jolo The Cholo is on deck to make an appearance as well so expect to get updates on all your favorite celebrity gossip. He's a like a buff Perez Hilton, laced head to toe in Ben Davis and Dickies.

Tune in from 7-10pm on DJ Buddy TV. Don't sleep!



If you missed the first ep, check it out here.

Banksy in Africa

Banksy: Not just for the metropolitan urban landscape anymore. Check out these new pieces, done out in Africa.
































You know he was the type to stare at clouds, just making out shapes all day. I mean, how else do you make a hunted animal out of an old, decrepit wall?

OC Fair: Everything Fried

On Sunday, a group of us escaped the Valley heat out to Orange County to check out the fair. After reading through hundreds of Twitter posts about ODing on food, rides, and games, it was my turn to partake.

I've been to LA one a couple of times but I gotta say that the 'gangster per square foot' ratio is much less in OC. Nothin like getting caught up in a crossfire (while you're trying to enjoy a mexican funnel cake) to ruin your day.

We're here!
















But first things first, gotta grub































Deep fried Oreos and a Twinkie
















Pause.































Peanut butter jelly time




































"It feels like a sweater!"
















Those are some big ass...legs!





















Jamaican sheep.
















Jonart, those are my favorite kind too!






























































It was ummm...interesting



















Saturdays Off The 405

On Saturday, MC and I rolled out to The Getty to catch Cut Chemist rock a set full of eclectic, obscure joints. There was some cuttin, some jugglin, and some flowin. And not once during the whole night did I hear the word "swag". Awesome night.
















































No line at 5pm. This was taken at 5:30pm. I know some of the homies were stuck in that mess...































"What is this? A center for ants?!"
















Weeeeirddd.....
















Sick, without a doubt but I was secretly hoping for Shadow to pop out for a Double Dee and Steinski "Lessons" reprisal. Nope =/

Congrats Jenn! Now you can treat me to Lawry's.
