Stretch Gots a Story to Tell
Stretch Gots a Story to Tell from Gasface on Vimeo.
Walking back from a shooting in Harlem, we bumped into Stretch Armstrong, right in front of WCKR (!)
That's the station where he started -in 1990- what would later become the "Stretch and Bobbito Show", which many consider the best show ever.
The guy NORE used to call "the albino ostrige" recalls a number of great moments and a greater number of (then) unsigned rappers who blazed the show : cats like Jay-Z, Eminem, Big Pun, ODB, Big L, Biggie, and also a 16 y.o kid in shorts named Nasir...

Jay Electronica “Exhibit C” (Produced by Just Blaze) (Radio Rip)
Jay Electronica, rhymes are haunting and intellectually insane
that I question my own thoughts about who's the best emcee now
each month or so he pops up with a joint that amazes me and intreges
me, when his album drops I'll be the first to cop it in stores.

lil' wayne no ceilings mixtape
In my mind, Lil' Wayne has surpassed the label of
a "rapper" he's beyond that. He's a emcee, a street
poet, not a prophet! but an undeniable poet.
To me he's a combanation of two artists such as
Jim Morrison of the Doors, and himself, it would
be easy to speak on another artist that may be simular
but when you put the esoteric style of morrison and the grittyness of
wayne you'll have a supreme emcee

just a thought
At times we loose sight of who are at times, and we
grow mad for various reasons. And like the elder folks
used to tell me when I was a kid that, music heals the savage
beast, it naturally do. Even when, I hear songs that, I haven't
heard since I was a child, and the songs have deep meanings to em'
as well truley heals the the hurt that's going on in my soul

Spike Lee
Around two years ago I had a chance to meet him.
brotha was on point with his words, for exactly
an hour in a half he let me in his world, I was
amazed and inspired at the same time. and from
that day on I old myself, that I'm going to live
life to the fullest. He didn't wanted to be a
film student at first, he said he bullshited for
two years in school (Morehouse College) until he
was inspired to do film. He told me as well as others
to chase after your dreams, never settle because you
want to make money because the money will come if you
enjoy what your doing success follows and then money will
be there. Spike is an innovator, creator, and a fa sho' brotha.

Farrakhan "We Do Not Live In Post-Racial America"
Farrakhan: Don't be 'pacified' by Obama election
By ERIK SCHELZIG (AP) – 20 hours ago
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Minister Louis Farrakhan on Sunday urged his followers not to become complacent by President Barack Obama's election and to work to repair communities.
The 76-year-old Nation of Islam leader said in a speech commemorating the 14th anniversary of the Million Man March that people shouldn't become pacified by the election of the first black president.
"This can pacify you and lull you to sleep in a dangerous time, making you think that we live in a post-racial America — when the opposite is true," he said to loud applause.
The Chicago-based Nation of Islam has embraced black nationalism since its founding in the 1930s, and has used Obama's election as a launching point for celebration, intellectual discussion and a call to action.
"You may not be pleased with everything he's saying and doing, but you have to understand that he's been voted in to take care of the affairs of a nation, and not yours and mine particularly," Farrakhan said. "He's the American president, not the black president."
Given those broad responsibilities, African-Americans need to "accept responsibility to build our own communities," Farrakhan said.
Farrakhan has recently had a strong presence at events addressing a rise in youth violence. He has said the death of Derrion Albert, a Chicago high school honor student fatally beaten by other teens in an attack captured on video, should be a call to action.
Sunday's speech was billed as a plan to focus on reducing crime. Farrakhan didn't lay out details in his 2 1/2-hour address, but said members of the Nation of Islam have shown a blueprint for helping people repair their lives. The organization has long focused efforts on recruiting in prisons by encouraging inmates to study the movement's teachings.
"They're going to prisons and they make a man and a woman whole, the prostitute gets cleaned up, the drug addict gets changed," he said. "You see a model in Muslims in the Nation of Islam when our people come into the mosque toxic and then are made useful."
Farrakhan said the theme of repairing communities will become the basis of a series of future lectures. The leader regularly speaks at the movement's headquarters, Mosque Maryam. The lectures are widely distributed throughout the movement.
Farrakhan was joined on stage by recently resigned Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton, who has announced a Democratic primary challenge to U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, a white congressman who has represented the mostly black House district for two terms.
In comments to the crowd before the speech, Herenton recalled presenting Farrakhan with a key to the city despite the controversy it caused.
"It was easy for me as a mayor to present a key ... to a man who is worthy, to a man who speaks truth, to a man who possesses wisdom, to a man who is courageous in thought and in action," said Herenton, who was the first elected black mayor of Memphis. "To an anointed man."
JUST A THOUGHT:
I'm a true beliver of the truth, what he said is no different than what the brothas in the barbershops is saying. I value his words and even though I'm not muslim I totaly understand and agree with the things he say. It's sad, that when Obama first put his name in the race a year or two ago he was crusified and belittled by damn near everyone, including his own race. And it was the first time I ever seen racisim in my face for the first time. We I mean "we" as in all belivers of making this world unite should do are part rather it's reading to homless child, or taking in knowledge ourselves, just a thought y'all.

This house is amazing!!!!!
Nestled on the hillside in Spain’s north coast, Casa Q is a grand achievement in contemporary design. Composed of a series of offset, asymmetrical rectangular sections, Casa Q is a black obelisk in Norte De Espana. The home rests on a wood-slatted patio overlooking a pool and the town below.
Casa Q finished construction in May of 2009, as built with the help of Egitur S.L. and Satie Arquitectos S.L. Modern chairs by Bertoia and tables by Saarinen would work great on the poolside patio, while the interior could use a bit of what the home doesn’t feature naturally– color.
just a thought # 30 by Hissan Mock
Mahogony soul, with almond eyes
stare at me at a distance
I view her whole overall beauty that
that arrested me
with a seductive vengence, I want to
explore her like the crusaders
sailed the sea's
and kiss her softly while I add her
to my needs
cause she is a missing piece that's been
missing from my heart
It tramitized me for years but I found the
queen of my heart
we may not together for now but we
ignited the spark
stare at me at a distance

that arrested me

"H.E.R." by Hissan Mock
Your close to my heart for a reason, even when we never spoke that much
I had you heavy on my mind that my heart was speaking
just your name exuberates pain and pleasure with beauty in between
your quiet to most but to me your everything, we relate
because we hurt with a passion and when we release our pain problems
come from our everlasting actions and even though my
eyes can't see you I feel a oneness cause I'm right there with you so
when you read this you know who you are, stained souls
know the reason we try to palliate to ease the broken cuts to are hearts
so I pray that you and me will never grow apart so pin this
this poem to your wall like you did my other art.

This movie got alot of flack, only because people feel the need to know the murders
in this joint, the sure mind games and the suspense makes the movie what it is! I dare you to watch the movie with the light's out with no one around you cause the first 50 minutes of the film will really mess you up!

the shit!
This song, truley reminds me of halloween. MF Doom and the crew really struck my spirit when they did this song. It makes me think about the haloween maybe because of MF Doom's mask lol. I love everything about it, horror movies, mysteries, candy and most of all fun! last year in 08' is when I found this song give a listen.
October Horror!!!
I'm a horror fanatic! and proud to say it. Since I was a child I
I've seen alot of great horror movies and since this is October I
want to pay homage to those great horror movies, of the past and the future
Audition directed by Takashi Miike
this movie is a total mind fuck! I found this movie to be very
deeply disturbing on every level, it's really a build up to the last
fifteen minutes. And the creepest line out the whole movie was
"Words create lies,Pain can be trusted." which is so true, but damn!
and the most grusome scene is when the killer vomits in a bowl and feeds
it to her victom. I rate this movie on a scale to 1 through 10.....25! lol
