Madhouse Mondays: Notorious B.I.G.

On March 9, 1997 Christopher Wallace (Notorious B.I.G.) was murdered for his music. Put one in the air today for Biggie Smalls and dig this mix by DJ Short-E. Fuck the bullshit.

 

Feel Good Fridays: Eisenhauer Beats

Dig this instrumental cut from Eisenhauer Beats and peep the whole collection for more head-nod goodness.

Throwback Thursdays: Hall & Oates

Let us not forget just how groovalicious Hall & Oates were. This cut is so tasty. 1981 y'all.

Way Gone Wednesdays: Opio & Free The Robots

Ready for some heady space raps? Opio & Free The Robots have teamed up for this brief but bizarre banger. Dig in.

Real Talk Tuesdays: Stupid rules

Folks. If you have a rule (or a law) that is severly underwritten and/or outdated - don't be afraid to call for change. Some of these are downright silly (did you know that in Winona Lake, Wisconsin it's illegal to eat ice cream at a counter on Sundays?). This week in California, Harbor City Narbonne high school girls basketball team was ousted from their state tournament for wearing pink-infused uniforms in support of breast cancer awareness. The powers that be stated "Uniform colors may only be a combination of the official school colors". What a crock of shit. Read the whole story here. Let's do better, humans.
