So I was laying in my bed trying to go to sleep but decided to do a recap because I had all these questions running through my mind: Where the freak did Lil Mama come from??????????????? Is Jay-Z the President???Who is Lady WTF are you wearing’s stylist??? Did Beyonce really need to have 50 million people in bathing suits dancing behind her??? Is Kanye West on drugs??? Is it me or was every chic in that place wearing different variations of the same dress??? If some of those people didn’t feel comfortable enough to walk in the heels they were wearing why didn’t they just put their flats on?? That’s what we do when we are riding METRO. Half of the chicks that came out to accept their awards were walking like linebackers. Alright yall I can’t think of anymore questions and I’m going to go to sleep now.
If you all forgot to watch Floyd Mayweather vs. Juan Marquez 24/7. Here goes the whole first espisode. I’m going with Juan marquez in this fight. He doesn’t back down from nobody. Floyd hasn’t seen a boxer like this since he’s been boxing. It’s going to be interesting in seeing who wins this fight coming September 19th.
I don’t have to tell you. You can that your dollar just doesn’t get you as much as it used to anymore. Well, CrabzInaBarrel is going to tell you exactly how to make the dollar stretch and still have a good time.
Cheap Movies: Skip the movies and check out an outdoor movie festival in your area. They’re usually fun and free. Bring a blanket and your own snacks, and you’ve got a cheap fun for everyone. If you’re in the DMV area Crystal City check out Crystal Screen every Monday at Sunset showing the classic action movies from now until October 20th. Click here for details.
Free Movies: If you must see the new movie, why not try a movie site like tvshack.net, where you can see new TV shows and movies for nada. With a great selection of movies and shows, it won’t be long before the Feds shut it down so enjoy it while you can.
Event: Want a night out on the town for FREE? Why not check out two of the hottest to rappers in the DMV right now. Phil Ade & RAtheMC “He Said, She Said” Live performance tonight, Aug. 28, 09 at Palace Five (2220 14th St. NW, Washington DC)
The Arts: Want to seem cultured to your new boo? Well, DC has a great selection of free museums to take advantage of. The Corcoran Gallery of Art is also ditching the admission fee for Saturday’s until Labor Day, so take advantage of it before it’s gone for more info click here.
Free drinks?? Wine is the old school get right. Many wine shops and small eateries have wine tastings once a week. The Tivoli in Ballston, VA near to my job has one every Friday. Plus you can get great bottle of wine for less than $10!
Cheap drinks?? Local bars, restaurants and pubs are always coming up with promotions to bring in customers, so don’t be afraid to take full advantage. Rock Bottom Grill, also in Ballston, has $2 pints of handcrafted, fresh brewed beer on Wednesday nights. It makes me sad I don’t drink beer every week. Since we don’t condone drinking and driving it’s worth noting that oth locations are Metro accessible, so you can drink then sober up on the Metro.
Adult Swim: On Sundays Capitol Skyline Hotel Pool offers (10 Eye Street, SW). That $10 get you a relaxing dip in the pool and burgers. Yummy. (via DCFab)
There really trying to make a example out of this dude. Plaxico Burress days might be over in the NFL. Who knows tho because Michael Vick got a second chance and know he’s a Eagle. I’m kind of mad we have to see Vick two times in the NFC East.
Brand new tape from Ham Squad (B.O.B., Playboy Tre) affiliates and Tom Breihan’s favorite mystery rap crew. They continue their 90s alt rock pillaging by rapping over over “Under The Bridge” on “That Loud” (which has been out for a minute but I am posting anyway). It’s a tacky gimmick, but these guys are talented enough to transcend it. There are a few cuts on here that have some of that B.O.B. space/post-rap bleeding through, but then they are also freestyling over “Can I Live” and “Elevators,” so take the good with the bad.
This hasn’t hit the rap blog radar yet, so stop sleeping, internet tastemakers. Download the full tape. Tracklisting after jump.
