Float Session Volume 2

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

Float Sessions Vol. 1

This is what we do people. Vol. 2 coming soon.

Progress

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

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

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

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.

Until next we float.

Long Time No See

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.

McNigger Lovin

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

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. 

Late Float...

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.

Sharpie Action

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

[another Thiz freestyle real quick since the music has been scarce these past couple posts]

Union Square

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.
