Re: The Dopeness

Whos world is this?! the world is yours!

So watched the movie "The Wackness", and i must say was a pretty good film. First few minutes were dope as they really capture me with a blend of Nas bumping and the whole New York feel to the scene. Dope, i cant be bothered writing too much on it so il just copy paste the synopsis for yall..

It’s the summer of 1994, and the streets of New York are pulsing with hip hop and wafting with the sweet aroma of marijuana. The newly-inaugurated mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, is only beginning to... It’s the summer of 1994, and the streets of New York are pulsing with hip hop and wafting with the sweet aroma of marijuana. The newly-inaugurated mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, is only beginning to implement his anti-fun initiatives against “crimes” like noisy portable radio, graffiti and public drunkenness.

Two people, however, are missing out on the excitement: Luke (Josh Peck) is a socially uncomfortable teenage pot dealer with no friends, issues with his parents, and a colossal lack of confidence with girls. He trades weed for sessions with his therapist, Dr. Squires (Sir Ben Kingsley), whose much-younger wife (Famke Janssen) is slipping away from him. Squires, a drug-addled shrink with a hairline retreating to the back of his neck and a state of mind slouching back to adolescence, is an unlikely role model—but the two of them forge a friendship based on a mutual need: getting laid.

The intergenerational duo set off on a crawl that takes them all over New York, where they encounter several of Luke's "business associates,” including a Phish-following dreadlocked pixie (Mary Kate Olsen), a New Wave, keyboard-playing one-hit-wonder (Jane Adams), and Luke’s supplier (Method Man).

Luke has long had an aching crush on Dr. Squires' way-out-of-his league stepdaughter, Stephanie (Olivia Thirlby from Juno), and is stunned at his good luck when she returns his affections. Luke’s innocent first love experience with Stephanie becomes a life lesson that sets him on the pathway towards adulthood. And when Squires breaks down, it is up to the younger man to throw the older one a lifeline.

Propelled by an exuberant hip hop score, The Wackness captures the spell of 1994--a time of pagers, not cell phones; a time when Tupac and Biggie were alive but Kurt Cobain had just died. Funny and moving, The Wackness is an offbeat tale of two lost souls stumbling towards maturity.

So i was in welly about 2 weeks ago catching up with a few of the dudes that live down there. Staying at a mates flat, which in tradition to 'uni students' was smelling like ass and look like a garbage shack. despite all this they threw 2 sick nights with decks evens!

who knew most of these cats know every single word to biggies "gimme the loot" ?
me n my purple hoodie, signin off.

been a while?!

it has been a while since i put a post up, its due to the net rate i had last month, my speed became capped during the first week due to an excess in ps3 game downloads. never that again!

well i got a treat here. I was born and semi raised in South Africa and at the young age i distictively remember watching music vids the on tele but half the time the black dudes that played music were never actually hip hop artist, but a genre known as Kwaito. Now i wasnt a fan of this style, it was more of happy kinda music expressed in a different language! enough said about that, last night i thought id do some research on hip hop artist hailing from S.A (south africa not south auckland) and i found nothing less of a amputee. haha what i mean is i found a full bodied hip hop society and to show u what i mean heres a taste of two artist that have been on rotation since lastnight....
first cat is 'Proverb' his works are great, reminds me a bit of like a cannibus style.
second cat is 'Optical Illusion' mean beat with a sick bassline and video.
