Kardi

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.

Listen to This

Shouts to Eric and EIP/EPIC for this one.

Some Music

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.

Stop Snitchin' [edit]

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.
Nasty

ps. I graduated. '09.

pps. (Bluggaman Style)

there was this night

Throw up the ones.

I Hate Prep School [edit]

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

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

NEW CAM

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.

Performance

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

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

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.

Kardi - Let the Beat Build Freestyle

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..

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]

Classroom Floating

[Click Image to View Full Size]

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.
