Felonious Munk to President Obama: Balance your Checkbook, B!

“Stop your life, B. Get your whole sh-t together!’

What is the government’s credit score. It’s gotta be a 350….”

I know I’m late on this (I actually saw it a couple days ago) but if you haven’t watched this yet, check it out: HILARIOUS!

New York Observer‘s exclusive, unaired Occupy Wall Street Fox News interview footage

I haven’t been paying that much attention to the Occupy Wall Street protest movement despite the fact that it’s spreading and there’s been some questionable incidents related to it but this is amazing! A must-watch. The only part where dude perhaps gets into sticky territory is right at the end (which surprise, gets cut off) when he starts talking about Solyndra! There’s a good reason the interview in this footage has been unaired on TV. Sadly, the mainstream US news media isn’t really about addressing the difficult topics with honest, intelligent debate and dialogue that isn’t just empty, worn-out talking points.

[Mixtape] Listen to Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire – Lost In Translation in FULL

I know I’m late on this and I just posted on dude the other day as well, but hey….

“Since the fall of NY’s iron fist rule over rap, it seems like every couple of months someone declares, “NY is back.” It’s usually someone trying to push a new rap cat to the Hot 97 crew. Those dudes are aight, but, they always seem to miss one thing — actually reppin’ what it’s like to live in NYC. Cats will rep the drug trade of the city or the club scene but miss out on what the rest of us who aren’t living New Jack City coke dreams are fucking with. Yeah, you gotta have a song about someone getting stomped out with a pair of Timbs but you also need a song that reps Kennedy Fried Chicken.

Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire comes with a slow drunken master delivery on Lost In Translation, he drops song after song that combines the grittiness of NY with a soundtrack that weaves in and out of noisy, experimental bangers. These are songs that remind you of the heyday of experiential NY rap while occasionally throwing in random references to Marvel comics and American Ninja to put the whole shit in perspective. Basically, these joints sound like the time you saw a Mexican dude and a Chinese dude arguing in Spanish while a garbage truck backed up and someone drove by blasting the bass line of “Grindin.” You know Thursday night on Flatbush Ave.

Cop this shit, an Arizona Iced Tea and a snack pack while you sit on your stoop and watch the world go by..”

Seems like I can’t escape this dude. Everyone in my immediate circles who still cares about hip hop has been talkin’ (no, practically raving) about Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire since he dropped the video for the original version of “Huzzah” a while back. Track is cool, not my thing but I can’t front, I can see why it’s going in this viral hip hop era as my dude, Ty terms it. Mostly though I dig this video, not even because it knocks off the iconic clip for Craig Mack‘s “Flava In Ya Ear (remix)”, but because of the old school Just-Ice-style rude boy hat eXquire is rockin’ in it!
