lotta DJ KardiSmack on the way as well as a potential Villian mix for this business so you never know. what you need to be listening to is that major lazer right now if you aren't. not new, but still needs heavy rotation right now if you aren't doing it yet.

2010-06-30T11:18:00.002-04:00

I've been really out of pocket lately but I have some good stuff coming up soon. I'm doing a couple of pre mixes, that I will then send to my school for rotation so that when I return it can be in a big way knaameen, kid?.
Damn I hate looking for work. It feels like trying to take a nail out with a screwdriver. yeah it could work, but it's not supposed to feel the way it feels.

The Devil Meeting Flowers

2010-03-01T21:11:00.001-05:00

today's the day the flowers sit and chat
amongst themselves. the devil sat beside
them all - and in the softest voice so calm
he told them of a story true the skies
as green and grass as blue. i now wish to
recount to you the devil's tale to flowers.

a short delight this tale should be. i share
with you a sight to see. an image for
your mind to breathe. the air is light, sunshine
is free. in this place " eternity "
there sat a man twenty and three. he wished
for peace amongst himself; instead received
naught but his health. so there he sat, alone
tormented shamed at self for how he spent his
time was sad and so he laid asleep.

[and that's where it kinda just left me and i couldn't write anymore, so instead i have this version of it as well.]

he wasn't allowed to look directly at the flower.
There was a little too much,
well, danger to its well being.
So, he refrained.
Instead, with blowing glances he
refreshed the imagery in his own mind.
And that was the blessing of his curse.
The mind's eye cannot keep still.
To replace everlasting perfection in
that snapshot sway
he was granted moments of
reconstruction
involving the now & then
the is & was
the will be's.
Better was the stillness that encompassed such change
No two glances the same, yet
nothing ever truly different
How much beauty in that empty space
between when he was allowed to look and
when he was forced to ook away
how much more in the infinitely singular
moments between when infatuation
meet
imagination.
He listened to the flower's whispers

[and then that one dies too. but there was one that chronologically comes in between the writings of the others, so I guess I should put what little of it exists.]

So the devil spoke his sweetest words attempts at gaining trust
he loved a single flower so for him change was not much
the words flowed endlessly on topics he cared for not
but devils's tales can't be derailed except by Cupid's shot
his heart was snatched by richest greens and deepest golds in eye
as they stared back he forved himself convinced of simple lie[s].
he told the story quickly through, of how the stems could scarcely move
under trance of one so [illegible]
but flowers always know

[and there you have it. three failed attempts at the devil meeting flowers.]

Kardi

2010-02-09T13:48:00.013-05:00

so we've been putting in some work for the album and as we push forward, we've had a bit of a push behind us as well. getting love from various places such as here. i wanted to link up to the interview, but for some reason the computer won't let me, so instead you'll have to look for that one on your own time. i think it's a good interview, but you may not agree. still worth looking into imo. i'll trouble shoot it later to make it easier for the rest of y'all.

so as a treat with the new i wanna give y'all some old Kardi tracks. enjoy.

texts from last night

2010-01-30T07:47:00.003-05:00

(415) 2:41 "I want u to fuck me hella bad"

Yeah I know. It's mean of me not to have sex with someone after that text message, but I have this huge crush on a girl, and it just so happens that she's from Philly/New York/some town in MA (I say this only to promote ambiguity, not like anyone would read this and figure out which one is the real city anyway). Unfortunately, the 415 area code doesn't correspond to those areas, so I gotta let this girl go. She's a cool person, so I hope she can find someone to replace me soon. Granted, I want to believe that she won't find someone with the same performance abilities as I have.

On a more important note, Alan Watt's Book on Zen is amazing. I'm a little less than halfway through, and it has truly reminded me of all the thoughts I have when I'm all alone. Just the positive side of them. Maybe if I think the bad stuff enough, it'll transform from (form from ha) a powerfully depressing experience to an amazingly liberating one.

Maybe I'll have courage today and approach that girl...

WHRB

2010-01-26T15:02:00.002-05:00

So I officially have a slot on the radio station. Sunday night/Monday mornings from 3-4am. Shit slot, but if we can get a nice little following for the department, I think we'll be able to expand our options, making for availability of better time slots. Next year I should have a better slot, but no complaints. As long as I get to broadcast I'm happy. In other news, Thiz and I will probably start a podcast. I might podcast my weekly show and on top of that have something else with the squad.

oh, and 91records.com

Kardiology Sessions

2010-01-24T20:25:00.004-05:00

This is some shit Thiz and I put down during the Kardiology recording process. Unfortunately, I didn't remember any of this shit being recorded, but it exists so I guess we did record it.

not too proud of myself to be honest, but I might as well release it to all of my fans (i don't think 0 counts as a plural number, but all my fan sounds wrong).
hope you enjoy this one.

Black Panthers

2010-01-02T02:31:00.002-05:00

Richard Aoki is an example of a great man who deserves more respect and recognition than he has received thus far. I was recently able to watch a documentary on the man and became much more informed on the black panther party as a whole, as well as gaining information on the source of many of the arms in the beginning of the black panther movement, a gathering of friends (hint Japanese guy).
Aoki grew up in Oakland near Huey Newton and Bobby Seale. As a result of that and his natural disposition toward exuberance and action against social injustice, the three got along well, among others whose names I'm not completely sure of. Richard Aoki (which may mean blue tree, but could have a host of other meanings, ranging from relation to soul to a home or possibly ship or home ground trait) is a man worthy of study. I might take it up if I have the opportunity.

Ummmm my roommate had surgery so theres a pharmacy chillin in my room right now.
Kardiac Arrest is gonna be pretty piff. Fairly piff. Amazingly Piff. The production alone (although Kardi is fronting a little bit on that ohsotired) is on some 88 Stacey Dash shit. Everybody (except the person who's gonna end up using it) wants that shit like no other. He'll come around though. Float Session Volume 3 was recorded, but idk if it'll ever make it online, so I'll need to talk to Thiz about that. We might just have to rerecord to be honest. Suprise is surprisingly nice (pun intended).

Aside from that, SFC - BMF - BOX - EBG - NOOOOO BITCH (that's for you Syzzle, even though I know you be vchatting with the tie for biggest box on campus).

Some Music

2009-10-01T22:07:00.004-04:00

Yeah we here chillin with the 'cardi (spelling denotes a difference from the norm) and I felt the need to tell y'all about a couple tracks. I might upload a few of them, but y'all should spend the time it takes to buy them on your own instead of relying on *two thumbs pointed towards chest* this guy.

Onslaught - Slaughterhouse: This track is "le piff". They just go in, marking the change in MC by pulling the beat, and firing off a shot (pullup and likka shot fi dem a change). IMO Joell goes the hardest, but every verse has multiple points in which the track should just be restarted. It currently has less than 5 plays on my itunes, but that's only because I pull it back so often. You should prolly buy the whole Slaughterhouse album actually.

Black Mozart - Raekwon Feat. Bobby Steels & Rollie Fingers (step your moniker game up): Top 3 tracks on OB4CL2 hands down. Gihad and Broken Safety fill out the trifecta for me, but I'm not 100 on which is on top and which has to take the L. Classic album overall, in fact so much so that I only made it through the whole album twice because I restarted it so many times (noticing a trend in my listening yet?). If you haven't bought this album, just know it's the first cd to get me out of my house since....let's not get into that one.

Mona Lisa - Slick Rick the Ruler feat. MC Ricky D: Yes, they are both one in the same person, but this is the great storyteller telling (one of) the great story[ies]. Why I haven't memorized the lyrics yet I'm not sure of, but soon this will change. Hopefully you'll be able to truthfully state the same after reading this.

The Cherry MC (skit): This shit is just funny. Cop Kardiology if you haven't. Honestly, I shouldn't be posting this, because you already know how good Kardiology was. Right?

umm....Still the same man behind the same keys doing the same things until the weekend hits. Wait, that's tomorrow. It's almost that fucking time. O yeah and Kardi's birthday on Saturday, so show him love when the day hits.

Float Session Volume 2

2009-09-28T00:26:00.002-04:00

Didn't I say we would do it? All we need is the third installment now and we'll be good.

Yeah, it's overdue

2009-09-23T20:00:00.004-04:00

its been too long, but i guess i've just been too lazy/busy to really do this lately. Okay, time to drop some knowledge.

1. If thiz comes through this weekend, the vol. 2 of the float sessions should occur. If he doesn't come through, we'll be looking for a way to skype record it. if we can't do that, it'll just be an audio float session, which is cool for me.

2. I've become a bit of an alcoholic. Actually, my body just can't handle the same amount that my mind can, so my body has rejected my mind's limit about 5 times already. Not a big deal, but post-rejection my mind loses its hold on everything, so I can black out apparently. Also, I've had exactly 1 hangover. Never again people, never again.

3. There is exactly 1 class (of the 4 I'm taking) that I want to go to. As it turns out, this class is my last class on Friday, so I am the definition of live for the weekend at this point in my life.

4. FUCK HOMEWORK

5. Check out 95.3 WHRB some time. Starting next year, at some obscure time of the night, I might be DJing, so that will be live when it happens. Yeah, live is a smut (WHRBIC PLUG), deal with it dolphins.

6. 6 tries, 0 kills. I'm slippin. Changes soon though.

Going Home

2009-08-26T12:24:00.003-04:00

I was recently in South Africa. Actually, I've been home for about 26 hours now. Crazy stuff out there. Right now, I'll tell one light story so that people can get an idea of what life was like.

I was with a student of my father, and we went out to a birthday party. From there, we went to a Jamaican bar called "Cool Runnings". Reggae, beer, daka [guess what that is], and chicken with spicy sauce. I got pretty drunk and had a couple of great conversations, including with a man who had lived in Britain for the vast majority of his life, but was originally from South Africa.

I stayed in Durban, KwaZulu Natal. Beautiful country.

it was almost a good year for yung berg. the third quarter, still time to drop a party track, people stopped talking about his chain (at least not on a daily basis anymore)... he may have had a chance. but no, imma be a smart nigga and hit a woman after watching chris brown go from 106 and park star to youtubing with a bunch of twelve year olds and getting blackballed off stage by jay-z. damn shame berg, you done fucked up. top 5 worst at planning careers, in no particular order, 1. yung berg, 2. the game (he could have made some money), 3. jim jones (why would you think ballin could make you into a superstar when even money didnt? and why lie about talking to cam?), 4. cannibus (hes nice as hell, but he was just unlucky i guess...), 5. the lox (should have gotten that money straight from the jump. classic thievery from corporate america [read: diddy].

2009-07-20T18:45:00.004-04:00

I just finished watching this documentary I started over a year ago (I kid you not. HBO on demand has changed my life.), and it was rather harrowing. A young woman, Schappelle, is found in Bali with 4.2 Kilograms of marijuana, apparently high grade though there was no DNA nor purity testing, and it has since been burned. This leads to a trial, in which she is informed that the maximum penalty for trafficking in this amount is death by firing squad. I suggest you watch the documentary now if you haven't already, and a further warning, I have spoilers.

First off, wow to the psychic. Can't believe it. Don't you just love seeing an outcome after some outlandish prediction? It makes me feel good either way, because they win, they're amazing, they lose, everyone looks stupid.

Also, I think the little brother looks like a pothead, and the one with a record looks like a psycho. I think it's those two, especially since the brother went back to Australia so quickly. Wonder how you all would feel in a Balinese prison.

Wow son. wow.

Stop Snitchin' [edit]

2009-06-22T11:52:00.013-04:00

A little over a week overdue (with as many blunts as matches in one of those free books they give out being cited as the likely delay), I bring you snippets of life. A lot of these stories cannot be written, but must be told person to person. Therefore, I will only be able to share a few things with you all.

There was the senior prank, where we put up a shitload of red cups in the ryley [den] patio. We spelled 2009 in red and just filled up a bunch of space with white afterwards. A kid at my school who is a very good photographer...hmmm I wonder if he lives/will be in NY for the Kardiology shoot...has the best pictures but I will show you all a very amateur video.

There was also an epic bonfire in which we bribed authority with s'mores, and as a result stayed out for a pretty cool session til about 1. As I was moving out, that teacher and my father had a brief conversation in Swahili (my dad had been to Kenya, his home country). But yeah Moses played guitar and my boy sang and it was much more fun than it should have been. Good night.

There was also the ignorance.

She's lovely isn't she?

Felt that it was necessary to say that one time.

Umm there's also this donut place that makes donuts so good you'll want to go at 1 in the morning just to get some. I'm telling you, had I known when my mother suggested it, I would have gone with her without hesitation. Great fucking donuts.

Aside from that, I'm looking for work/prolly gonna end up a volunteer hand since paid work is hard to come by.

I'll be back one day. Kardiology might leak once but I'm hoping not. If this other place drips, I have to put it up one time just because it'd be rude not to.

Apologies.

It's been a long while, I know I know. Very soon, I plan on giving an update as to what life is like. Minor details now, graduation happened, grad parties will ensue, some dorm shit popped off, and general living. you'll see by saturday hopefully though.

Interview

2009-05-14T22:01:00.005-04:00

Just finished the Kardi interview. All I have for now is a DL version, but I'm looking into a streamable version soon. Those megabytes are precious, as I have recently come to find out, so anything less than an attempt would be disrespectful.

Kardi Interview w/DJ KardiSmack

Enjoy.

I Hate Prep School [edit]

2009-05-13T22:17:00.002-04:00

Just listen.

Kardi - I Hate Prep School

[edit]
The details are nowhere near completed. Actually, it's all more or less just an idea right now, but the single above will be appearing on the mixtape "Kardiology". To commemorate the release, and as a general celebration of this great MC, we will be having a release party. Tentatively, this summer in Brooklyn. Cover charge TBD and a b.y.o.b policy. Provided should (hopefully) be: 1. Mixtape 2. non-alcholoic drinks 3. Snacks 4. Music 5. Canvas & Markers (for all graffiti artists to show off)

All still tentative, but should be VERY live when (read: if) it does happen.

Progress

2009-05-12T13:27:00.006-04:00

Even though it still isn't finished (needs more accurate timing, remastering, and for me to chop up Pretty Toney among other things), I thought why not let go of it. Another failed attempt, though I'm starting to understand why variation is a great thing.

Mostly Smooth [updated]

I figure the world deserves more though right? What can I be sure isn't in your library already? I know. The first of the mixtape (Kardiology Coming Soon) teasers.

Transit - Thiz

And if you hadn't already noticed, Rashard Lewis looks like T.I with a goatee.

More congratulations to Kardi.

Big Day

2009-05-08T23:03:00.003-04:00

Though I (DJ KardiSmack) was unable to attend due to circumstance, today was the day that Kardi aka Young Bubbles opened for artist Wale at Milton Academy.

BIG FUCKING DAY.

The concert was a success, and the very second I get the footage, I will not post, but watch it. Then, after the third or fourth viewing, consecutively of course, it will make its way online. My God am I proud of my brother/partner in crime/fellow floater.

CONGRATULATIONS KARDI!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Vacation From Ourselves

2009-05-06T00:56:00.005-04:00

Thiz here

So I'm throwing a concert at my school featuring Wale, (with Kardi opening obviously), and I've been bumping the "Mixtape About Nothing" joint he dropped with 10.deep a while ago... There's a track that really has me floating..

"The Vacation From Ourselves" (I wish I had a zshare link for yall, but I don't)

Dope track right? And seems like a good ass idea. Fuck a Nassau, just leave yourself for a couple days. And you would think it'd be easy enough.. but it's proving pretty difficult.

My goal for the Spring is to take a vacation from myself. To take everything that is normal and routine and mundane about me, and stop giving a fuck about all of it. Just for like 3 or 4 days. 4 days, 4 nights. Word.

[TH!Z]

Better Late

2009-05-02T23:33:00.012-04:00

Though on time is always a good thing. This is some stuff that is recent, but not recent enough for it to be "breaking". Where to begin...

Now I know.

This is a "Blue Key Head" audition. I feel like this person was cheated, but it wasn't my decision. Takes more to do this in front of a large group of people than I have.

Then there was awkward.

New friend, new awkward moment. Though you can't really tell, she walks up to a girl that she has previously never spoken to, then asks for a hug. Boredom at its finest, but hilarious. You should try it some time.

Now something that I don't think I've put up yet, but if I have it needs to be put up again either way.

Off the top of the head. Again, poor audio, but if you manage to hear it, worth the time. This is what happens when you cypher, then you cypher. Kardi needs to start going in again, because he kinda got did dirty with the pass it but I'm not line. Shameful... though Kardi would prolly eat Thiz in a battle. Too bad he doesn't battle anymore.

Look at this though:

Young Bubbles aka Kardi the Bakerman aka Smack and Get Played aka the Overweight Lover aka KardiCrack b[etter]ka the Best MC under 18

I'm considering doing another music drop right now. Maybe you all need something. The question is do I have anything to hand over. I'll toss you something light for now, since I don't feel like getting too heavy.

DJ KardiSmack - Preview

I'll post the full one when it's done, but that won't be for a while since Butter by A Tribe Called Quest is impossible to cut up for some reason.

my first reader

2009-04-09T13:31:00.002-04:00

Today, I was told by a certain someone that they read my entire blog in one night. That isn't much of an accomplishment seeing as I don't write too much, but still I'm happy that said person took the time not only to read, but to mention it to me. This came after having ran into me, ending a long period of time in which we hadn't spoken/seen each other, so the fact that ARW took the time to do this is kind of a big deal. I have a fan, although this person isn't actually a fan, just a friend who wanted to procrastinate for a while, and ended up in this place. Time to blow up governments (I'll just blow up the judicial, the executive and legislative might be a little too personal for the internet/all the other people who read this....haha):

Oh yeah, I have a new moniker now, DJ KardiSmack (KRDSMK)

2009-02-16T23:06:00.011-05:00

Hey young world. I know, it's been a while since I've dropped knowledge but life has been hectic out here on these streets (see Paid in Full), so now that I have a couple stories to tell, I might as well hit you all up.

We just had a long weekend out here at school, so as you know, we've been going fairly hard. I personally have kept it pretty low key, and my one instance of bugging out almost made myheart beat out of my chest, so I'm waiting 'til it's all out of my system before I show you who the iron lung is. But, for us the weekend starts on Friday, during class.

That's Ju Ju singing to our Spanish teacher since someone bought him a valentine's day song. really homo, but the illest way to waste time on a Friday Spanish class that no one wants to be out, even though we all love Sr. Cuchillero.

A while back, there was this percussionist lady named Evelyn Glennie who came to our school and performed. This is a snippet from what little I could sit through.

She's deaf. I'm not joking.

Then the weekend came. We played lots of Rock Band and some CoD4 (pointman gets it in), and there was a little lovefest in Vinny's bed. This is the latter half of what happened, but the real pwnage was the 60+ seconds preceding my recording. We were too busy laughing for me to think to pull out the phone, but some of the penetration still exists.

Yeah, living in a dorm will all guys gets a little homosexual, but it's all out of love....and entertainment.

On a slightly less funny note, Rock Band sent us a message when we tried to name our band "Deez Nutz". Apparently, the name isn't "classy", therefore any online play would have to be preceded by a name change, or else there would be no online play.

What's wrong with Deez Nutz?

I have personally been waiting for waaaaay too long for this, but as per the usual Cam'ron delivers with that CRACKMILK.

Cam'ron - I Hate My Job

Learn something.

2009-01-23T00:00:00.003-05:00

I've heard a quite wild quote from "that hatin' ignant nigga Kanye" (as stated by Xebo).

"I don't really like facts. They get in the way of my opinions."

My brother pllayed with Mos Def who released that bombshell up there which was said on a plane. Mighty Mos was at a loss for a response. How do you respond to something like that?

What would you say had you been Mos Def?

Performance

2009-01-19T21:35:00.004-05:00

So it was the weekend, I was on restriction, and nothing was really happening on campus anyway so some of us decided to get that Rock Band 2 on. We don't have all the equipment in the dorm quite yet, so we decided to just go hard and perform to songs. Unfortunately, I 1. didn't know the song at all and 2. don't know how to perform guitar tricks. Hilarity ensues at my epic fail a little bit into the video, and after that it's kinda pointless. Still, hilarious.

Jack also performed, and did much better than I, so if you want to see a fairly good amateur performance, look at this video:

Then, of course, there is a professional performance, which we saw on tv well after we decided to perform for ourselves. This kinda shits on us, but still I think we did pretty well for ourselves. Watch this:

This wasn't the version that was on tv, but I mean if this one is available, why put on the other one?
I'd beat.

New Kardi

2009-01-15T15:16:00.002-05:00

I know, I know, I'm very late on posting this. For those of you who don't know, Kardi is the nicest MC out right now. This is some shit of his that you might need to listen to. When I say that, I mean DL the track below, put your headphones on, and learn something about hip-hop.

Kardi - Jumping Out the Window Freestyle

Yeah, he's that nice.

Senior Hour

2009-01-11T22:07:00.011-05:00

This was after "Hot Like Fire" performed. We're at school, bored, so we play music and act like fools to keep ourselves entertained. Thank goodness this time I was alert enough to be able to witness this event, although it wasn't quite as good as the original I've heard. Just peep game.

This is how we float.

There is also an EXCLUSIVE video of part of that new Kardi Freestyle.
This is SUPEREXCLUSIVE people. youtube doesn't even have this yet.

I wish I could have gotten the whole thing on tape, but here is the audio for all 0 of my readers.

Long Time No See

2008-12-28T02:34:00.003-05:00

Hello world. this is a joint post, so just in case you notice the tone changing dramatically, there is a reason.
so i'll start with tonight since everything else is so far away and in such a haze (pun intended). We went out to this jack and jill party shit out in brooklyn, and it was semi-lite. i mean, i (nasty) am not the biggest party person, but i fucked with it. now time for the roll call. twins, rebekah, eric, khalid, bj, other twins, ciardone and crew, our conscious, kyle sykes, and whoever else held it down in there. i also saw brandi and tabia, two people who i have not talked to in a long time. it was nice.

niggas and lines don't mix. especially when there are iron heaters near by. I assumed that jack and jill would have some common sense, but they tried to jam a couple hundred niggas in a couple square feet of space, and expected shit not to get hectic. not a smart decision on their part. Also, whenever you decide to have a coat check, make sure that there is enough room for all the coats and all the people you need to quickly and smoothly get those coats out. old ass mfkask back there takin they sweet time like niggas don't have to get home.

[TH!Z]
SHOUTS TO ALL MY WEST INDIANS! BROOKLYN WE GO HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GULLY CREEPA TEK WEH YASELF NUH LINGA DING DONG JIGGY BODY SCOOBY!!!!!!! KABOOM!!

back to live action. this idea got into my head because of some shit i saw on myspace, and it really started to bug me the fuck out when i got down to it.

"No security in the world can keep out roaches."

let that marinate for a second, then realize that wherever there is uncovered food, there are roaches. In the snow bunkers in siberia and in the tropics of hawaii, there are roaches. you cannot escape them, you cannot control them, you cannot keep them away. somebody should make a hitchcock style film about these things, because when everything else dies they will inherit the earth. damn son.

Bus Fight

2008-12-08T14:49:00.003-05:00

This is pretty old, but still fucking hilarious.

If it was a black school, there wouldn't have been a problem from the jump cuz in black schools, the bus is always rowdy. The bus driver wouldn't stop the bus just because somebody was being loud or not staying completely seated. White people amaze me.

Salt Games

2008-12-05T20:00:00.007-05:00

Today, at dinner, I was sitting down and a friend of mine asked for the salt. It made its way across the table, and I heard a loud thud. He picked up the salt shaker again, then spun a penny on the table again. As it was still in motion, he (for the second time) slammed the plastic salt shaker on top of the penny. A little salt spilled out, but the bottom was now thoroughly broken. Then, we waited, and this is the video I managed to secure of the incident.

For all that can't see what happened, as he picked up the salt to use on his food, it just flowed out of the bottom. He was fairly upset, and the video continues (unnecessarily) for a time after that. After laughing about that for a while, we started to wonder where the penny went. It took like 5 minutes, and a few sips too many, to realize that it was here:

I feel bad for the guy who drunk all the apple juice before realizing that he was actually drinking a new, but still disgusting penny. He eats box though, so not a big deal for him.

That's life people. Float higher.

So I'm sure you've seen this commercial.. I hate McDonald's more than I could ever articulate. They might as well give this minstrel a top hat and a suit.. wait a minute..

The Ruler's Back

2008-11-30T12:06:00.004-05:00

So Thiz, Kardi and I went out to a Slick Rick concert on Friday night. It was fairly crackmilk. It was at this ballroom, and Tight Work Army from SC and the Retro Kids performed before the Ruler made it out on stage. Okay so let's show all the videos and pictures (some have yet to be uploaded to the comp) so people can know what's really hood.

Chinese Food Freestyle 1

Chinese Food Freestyle 2

Slick Rick

the Retro Kids

Okay so that's most of what happened. For the Slick Rick shit, you have to 1. hit up thiz or 2. go to a damn concert. You're wack if you never end up seeing the Ruler in action, 43 and still live.

There was also like 40 minutes of DJ Chaos just going IN. Of course, the Floating section was the livest, although there was one woman there who kept up, and every once in a while have a half of a level over the squad. Still, for the youngest heads in there, we kept up. I went absolutely WILD when he dropped C.R.E.A.M. I'm a big Wu-Tang fan, although clan wasn't in homage to them. I was just sick of "crew" and "squad". After a while, you just want something new in your life.

What else happened . . .

Thanksgiving has come and gone, and a happy Thanksgiving to all my people out there. I saw two of my three nieces this weekend, and I'll put up a video of the oldest one out of the group. Her name is Aaliyah, and her birthday is February 12th, and I love her to death, although I don't think she really likes me that much.

Aaliyah

Yeah, she's a sweetheart, and that toy was for my first Christmas ever, so that's history right there. There are some pictures that I can't really share with the public, but if you know me, I'll let you see if you remember to ask. If you don't know me, get to know me. It could be worth it, although I think that I am fairly uninteresting.

I Love New York

2008-11-25T18:45:00.008-05:00

I've been back home for a couple days, and until now I haven't really remembered why I love NYC so much. Then, I had a normal day, and it all came back to me.

The day started a little past noon, when I was able to witness a new phenomenon in my house. Apparently, my cat and my mother have had an ongoing feud as to who is the queen of the household. My mother and cat love each other dearly, but also attack each other frequently. This is what happens when my cat and my mother decide to brawl on the staircase.

Then I went grocery shopping, returned, and spent the afternoon with my brother. We went to check and see if he could get a quick hack in chinatown for his psp, and we went to this arcade and watched Street Fighter 4 get played. Akuma is NICE son. Shouts to that Asian in the suit who was just WHOOPING ASS for so long. You're nice fam. You are nice. We also saw this:

Ummm....we went back uptown, and on the train instead of matching kicks I saw a woman with a bowl cut

and it balded all around, but the hair was died blonde, and she was greying, so the bald part was growing in with streaks and it was weird as fuck. I was shocked to see it, but that's just NYC.

I also saw Paul Mooney in the Starbucks near my crib. THAT'S REAL.

Step your Float up people.

Big Day For SFC

2008-11-24T18:40:00.003-05:00

After years and years of grinding, a huge milestone in the SFC saga: Our very own Kardi is on page one of a google search of his name.

After painstaking struggles with Kardinal Official and all the random Arabic websites that dominated page one, and having to add some diminishing suffix of "lite" or "bronx" to get any immediate Kardi results, the day has come where simply scrolling down (albiet to the last link) will bring you to all that South Bronx born, head bobbin (pause) speaker blastin Kardi certified crackmilk.

Become a fan on facebook, lames!!! Mixtape coming soon.

Wasted No Time

2008-11-23T13:55:00.018-05:00

On the way back to my house last night, I saw a couple literally wearing the same pair of sneakers. I had to take a picture, so this is what you all get. I'm so ashamed of his soft body actions, especially since she was actually rocking them harder than he was. Quick guess: Which pair belongs to the male, which to the female? Answer: Since he's so soft, they both belong to the female. He also had a lip ring.

That's Friend A, who kept assuring us that she was, indeed, herself. She also showed quite a bit of resentment toward a friend of hers for not allowing her to float as much as she would have liked. I like her out of school quite a bit, not to say that i don't like her in school.

As I was walking to meet them, I saw and recorded the craziest paint job on a car I have ever seen. It was really weird stuff, and it reminded me of those crack is wack murals kinda, but my camera sucks so the car is all dark and i kinda rushed since i had people to be meeting, so this is a very raw version.

So yeah, I went out there, went to NYU, and chilled in a room with 6 girls, all of whom were a little like me at the time. It was a nice moment, although I made the conscious decision to not make moves on floated freshmen in college, although it wouldn't have been too hard seeing as I was the only guy there. The only one, for serious. Yeah, we talked, Friend B and I made sure that Friend A got in the cab, and I'm pretty sure everything is okay right now.

Oh yeah, I have another video of friend A just going on and on. Terrible vid, cuz I was multitasking at the moment it was being made, and there are other pics/vids to document the night for us all. I remember it all, but I'll bet a few of the people I was with didn't. This is yet another bad video from a floater's night out.

Late Float...

2008-11-21T00:48:00.005-05:00

Wattup y'all, it's Thiz!

Late night.. early night for my standards..

Two things send me floating: A Tribe Called Quest and graffiti... So I'm bringing em both to you all..

One of the best moments in graff history in my book.. Skeme TNT's "Crime in the City" wholecar.. Literally changed my perspective on life when I saw it/saw this clip from "Style Wars"...

One of the best moments in hip-hop history in my book.. The opening of "The Low End Theory" entitled Excursions...

"We gotta make moves, never ever ever do we fake moves.." -Q-Tip, clearly a floater.

Quick Float

2008-11-19T21:57:00.010-05:00

Yeah. Today was an alright day I guess. A little while ago, me and some people were in the PACC [comp center] bored as fuck since nobody has any real class tomorrow, and people started doing what they do. No provocation, no nothing, just acting like fools, as per the usual. I have a video of it for those who need to see something to make today a little bit better, although I doubt that many of you will enjoy this as much as we did.

Floating late one night.. Inspired by a DJ Premier beat, the album booklet for M.I.A's "Kala", hunger, and procrastination..

Union Square

2008-11-18T12:38:00.007-05:00

Wattup y'all, it's Thiz!

The Clan was floating sometime this past summer in Union Square (Shouts to H. Dunn and the Octagon). We were all seriously airborne, so we figured there was nothing better to do on a floating summer night than to get lite (for those not up on it, youtube "dcole"). We hit the Square, and there were mad heads floating there already..

A crew of breakdancing Asians, some European chicks visiting the city, some hipsters, some skaters, some posers, some Free Huggers, some cops, some other dudes gettin lite, and a DJ running his speaker system off of a generator on wheels.

The Clan got the circle together and started the handclap. The DJ picked up on the vibe we were trying to start and started playing straight dance music. We were trying to get the other dudes gettin lite to battle us, but they punked out. We were going so hard that we began to gather a small crowd around us, and once the DJ cranked up his music, and the cops didn't make him turn it down, we knew that we had started a full fledged party in Union Square. Like true floaters do.

The European chicks were a little timid at first, but eventually caught on to the vibe and started floating with us. Once the DJ dropped the Electric Slide, we had a crowd of about 15-20 people with their heads and hearts in the clouds and their wrists briskly slapping towards the ground (one wife pulled her husband towards the crowd and forced him to Electric Slide with her, obviously reminiscing on floating moments they had together in the past).

As a huge game of soccer broke out alongside a nearby jump rope competition, all amongst people who were strangers to each other an hour prior. The Clan met Doofington from Brooklyn. Doofington's name was a hybrid of the words "Doofie" and "Piffington". "Doof because I'm like, big and I'm kinda doofie. -ington because you know, I got that piffington." He was clearly floating.

There was some pizza, some girl on girl action, and a couple freestyles, that I feel it necessary to share with you all.

The night came to a close and we headed back to the Octagon to finish watching the Olympics. Michael Phelps had just floated to his 8th gold medal, and we were all amped.

When you float, you can have nights like these. Start parties wherever you go.

You Don't Want That

Me, Sykes, and Lemmons were Floating in my room on a Saturday night once, just chilling. Sykes was drinking his gatorade, Lemmons was eating his mike and ikes, and I was watching my anime. This was the good life.

Then, in the corner by himself, Sykes started laughing uncontrollably. Lemmons and I were confused, and wondered what was happening, but laughter is contagious. After a while, Sykes finally got up, and started to tell story, mainly to me.

"Yo son....I was just...like....watching this movie....like in my head right.....And imagine......if me.....and you....was to just....smackthisniggaJordan'sMikeandIkeslikeCH-BLOW!!!!!"

And in the instant he finished his sentence, he put all of his speed into swinging his hand upwards and knocking the FUCK out of Jordan's Mike and Ikes. The box flew up and started rotating, so that mike and ikes literally flew all over my room. We then all proceeded to DIE laughing at what had just occured, to the point where Jordan had to leave the room because he was gonna piss in my bed, which would not have been a good look. This makes us all laugh to this day. So, I felt the need to share that moment (in part) with all of you.

I don't feel like going through the archives for music right now, so I'll share another floating moment with the bums right now. This is me, Joris, John, Yuuki, and the Legendary King Hiro (the one with the hat on) dancing to "Asagohan". Yes it's really gay, but it's a floating moment.

Floating's fun people. You should try it too.

This is me during a not so average day at Phillips Academy. Sometimes I wonder if I should even be in school, but since I'm not failing out yet, I guess I'll stay. I know Milton and Middlesex feel my pain, although they may not float like I float. Tell me if you've ever had this feeling during a test too, so maybe I won't be so lonely in the clouds.

And you might need some music right now too. I'm still in the archives for now, but I'll drop some new stuff for you once I start plugging back in to the music scene. Post December look for that new Kardi, cuz the streets need more. We will now be one of the OFFICIAL Kardi drop spots, so understand that we will have those exclusives that NOBODY else will have.

Hello World

2008-11-16T16:03:00.013-05:00

When you wake up in the morning, and for some reason you're still smiling from last night's adventures. Or when you remember those moments that made you laugh uncontrollably, and hours, days, months later you still get the same joy. When your whole body starts feeling better, and the moment becomes more important than anything else. You blink, and suddenly how you got there doesn't matter, but the fact that you are there makes all the difference in the world. When worries disappear, and your greatest fear is forgetting how to breathe because the jokes are just too strong. When you stop paying attention to everything around you, and run into your own little world, full of all the pleasures in life. When everything is important, because nothing could possibly go wrong.

That's floating. That's the world I want to take you to, so share a few floating moments with me.

Since this is the first time around, I guess I should give something away. This is some pretty old stuff, but if you don't have it, this should help out. If you do have it, this should remind you to put it on rotation for a little while.
