Hardcore Sitting: Yes, Hardcore…
Aaron Fotheringham is about to introduce you to a whole new extreme sport. Peep game:
Man…just when you thought that you’d seen every sport that they could possibly ‘extremetize’ and then…you see hardcore sitting. Makes me want to push a little harder next time I’m on that snowboard or skateboard…hehehe. Massive props to this kid.

Hip-Hop: Wu-Tang Vs. The Beatles-Enter The Magical Mystery Chambers…
Hey everybody, its been a minute since Voldemars has heard an album worthy of suggesting to listen to, but finally, 2010 has put one out there. It is called “Wu-Tang vs. The Beatles” and I think it’s one of the illest mash-up albums I’ve ever heard. My favorite part of the album is a snippet of Ol’ Dirty singing a Line from a Beatles song, “Love Love me Dude you know i love you, Ill always be true, so please please love me too…” He talks about singing rap and how nobody does that.
This album is dope. What I like about it is they expanded from just the standard 36 Chambers classics and have songs from the solo albums the Wu put out. Albums from Ghosface and Raekwon to name a couple. There are a few parts on the album where the music does not quite match up perfectly, but you can expect that with Mash-ups.
*I’ve been experimenting with fusing reggae instrumentals with hip-hop acappellas. I will have Zonker post one up when I make one that I think is dope enough so share.
This album was put out by Tom Caruana and is a must have for any Wu fan. If you’re a big fan of the Beatles, then it will probably just piss you off to hear kids from the East Coast rap over it. …But!…if you love the Wu and love the Beatles, then you must hear this album. You can grab it all over the web, so give it a listen.
I want to find it!

Art/Graffiti: Abstract Wall By Poseia And Friends…
Here’s a cool high-res (click for the big version) image of an abstract piece done by Poseia, Joker, Kofie, Roughe, Codak, Kema, and Dial. Not usually my favorite style (I’m more of a ‘traditional’ letters and characters fan), but this has got some really dope elements. It’s like the new-school take on the Futura style of the 80’s.
*thx to Berd for the image.

How To Dance To Dubstep…
I’ve recently learned that the electronic music genre known as ‘dubstep’ offers some really good, super bass heavy remixes of reggae jams. Because of that, I’ve been looking for and finding all sorts of goodies that fit that bill. During this search, I stumbled upon this video remix. This little kid is badass…or is that a ‘vertically challenged’ individual?
The original video of the kid dancing has racked up well over a million views on the YouTuber…but this version is definitely the one to watch. Shit just fits perfectly.
Jams used: “Benga – Crunked up” & “Caspa – Where’s My Money Remix”
peace,

A Tour Of The Universe…
Prepare your ego for a massive beatdown. Try and wrap your noodle around this:
This is the type of informational video that can really put things in to perspective. I was watching this trying to keep that initial image of the universe in mind. Think about those numbers they throw out while zooming towards our galaxy. The shit is so huge, that it takes forever just to get to our little galaxy. All those galaxies, suns, and finally planets…and people walk around everyday as if it’s all theirs…hehehe. Be thankful if you’re one of the lucky ones that can keep their paradigm on the pulse of the reality of things.
peace,

Why It’s Called ‘Generation Y’…
From an email:
What Is Generation Y??
Well, I’ve always wondered about this myself…and now I know.
People born before 1946 were called (The Silent generation).
The Baby Boomers, are people born between 1946 and 1959.
Generation X, are the people who have been born between 1960 and 1979.
And Generation Y, are the people born between 1980 and 2009
So, why do we call the last group Generation Y? I never really knew until I saw a cartoon which explained it very eloquently below…& sure makes sense doesn’t it!!

Art: Off The Wall – Doze Green…
Via email (Berd):
“Love this guy … All way back from Style Wars to his current shit.”
Info from friendswelove.com: It’s with great pleasure that we present this studio visit with the man, the myth, the legend…Doze Green. Besides being one of our favorite artists for the longest, he is now also one of our favorite humans.
Long story short, the man knows how to have a good time! But more importantly, he does so while inspiring everyone around him in the process.
In this episode of OFF THE WALL we simply feature Doze and his assistant Ian doing what they do best, paint and have fun. No interviews. No reasons. No justifications. Just a creative process. Enjoy…
Many thanks to Doze Green, Ian Kuali’i, Jonathan LeVine and especially Maléna Seldin for all the love and support in making this episode of OFF THE WALL a reality.
