Thankyou and Goodnight...

Well as you can see I have not posted in well over a month so its safe to say you assumed right and Im leaving the blogger life behind in 08. I really have thought long and hard about this and upon reflection I realised: 1. I spent FAR too much time on the internet doin this shit, and 2. Im sorta over it. I gave it a crack for just under a year, the first 5 months being an absolute mess, posting almost as often as 2DB (loll) and the latter jus chillin, but Ive come to the conclusion that I really dont have the time this year to dedicate to runnning a GOOD blog, and quite frankly, I dont want to. Music is pretty much my life, hence why I started one, but I think I enjoy being an admirer more than anything and lets be honest, theres THOUSANDS of blogs out there bloggin the same shit, jacked from the same 10 big blogs so hey it aint nothing lost. But I did really enjoy it, especially my 2nd time round, when I was 100% myself, posting only shit that I really had a passion for and not dickriding on what was brand new 10min ago, and hence my own taste in hiphop definitely came through. And thank you to all those who commented and became frequent followers of Eff-It-All, I really did appreciate it, hell, I even got asked to be a contributor on someone else s blog as a result, that was a shock!

So to round it up, thanks for peepin my 5c worth once in a while and may 2009 be another year for fuckin good Hiphop and music all around, coz yall KNOW thats what we live for.

Peace and God Bless
Whitney

P.S My five cents worth for 2009...
1. Blu is gonna get shat on for his upcoming rock album (ahem CRAC responses ring a bell?!), nonetheless ima chew that shit up and STILL be a Blu obsessor (till I die, LOLL).
2. Sene, Co$$ and Blu are gonna form a supergroup, do a short film, write shit, I dunno they gonna do something big together, they are way too tight and way too dope not to, the fact they havent done something already makes me VERY suspicious, I am WILLING TO put $$ down those three cats have somethin cookin slowly in the oven for 09.
3. My boy OU (Outasight) is gonna hit mainstream, or get REAL big to say the least.
4. The fall of Nahright is upon us
5. I still wont be speakin any espanol after 3 months in Mexico..smh.

If Sene aint gonna blow the hell up in 2009..

then please, shoot me now, cos it´s a damn crime against nature if he continues to be slept on. Yet another collabo between Sene and Erik L (who is a damn beast by the way, Lose Control EP?? uhh yes, nothing more needs to be said). This may just take over Take off The Blues by The Foreign Exchange as No.1 track to be on repeat.

Sene is well beyond his years on this...well everything really, lmao.

Buenas tardes!!!

or Buenas dias to all the ppl in the southern hemisphere, aka home. This is the longest I´ve EVERRR gone without posting, haven´t even been keeping up with what´s been goin on, to my UTTER dismay, well, had the whirlwind trip to L.A, and have made it to Los Cabos, Mexico where on the third day on the job, I´ve already settled right in and taken to blogging from my computer when I should re-writing contracts, lmao. So yes, I made it, wohoo. Talk bout culture shock, straight outta Blood In, Blood Out this place is, ahaha.

P.S That is my bad ass shot of Venice Beach, CA last Friday.

Laterrrs

Quickest post, still packing my shit (lolll) even though I leave today for almost four months. All good, blasting N.E.R.D having the coolest time, lol. Will report back when I finally get half way across the world and land in L.A, NEXXT to bright orange cheese! I'm sorry all you American folk but bright orange cheese is really, REALLY not normal.errr. No cheese for me for 4 months, lmfao, nooo. Let's just hope the smog doesn't choke me before I get out of the aircraft, haha, ok no more mean jokes. :)

Kanye- Heartless Live in NZ

This isn't my footage but from someone who almost had as good a postion as I did, and I didn't get Heartless on video so this is good ish. Can't wait to watch my Nas footage, damnnnn. Will upload when I get to L.A, upload speeds here are SHOCKING!

Ooh Ooh

Was just over at RH and spotted a new track from Redman. OMG back in the day when I used to smoke a lot (lolll), I used to roll with my two guy mates that listened to Redman NON-STOP! I swear they thought they were Meth and Red themselves. Well they were over the day (blazed of course) and pissed me right off by watching Redman videos on Youtube for over 2 hourswhilst I was bored outta my brains and just hit the sack. Gotta love Redman. This song takes me back in the day when I was a lil shit, cruisin round the city wit some chrome 16 inch subs jammed into my boy's crappy Ford Laser..PICK IT UP, PICK IT UP...

Hell yea, I love Chester French!! Dope collab. Apologies for the lack of posts, been HELLA busy last few days, had my house party on Sunday and progressed to get pretty damn drunk under the hot sun. Then went to the Nas and Kanye concert last night, front row baby, was amazing. Sorry Yeezy but Nas sorta kicked your ass at your own show.Shot 2DB.

P Money- Everything

I love, love love..

Substantial!! Ever since I heard him back in 04 on some Nujabes ish, I was hooked. Therefore, it really is MY BAD that I was hella late on his dope ass album this year, Sacrifice. Copped it a few months ago and been bumpin it ever since. And I'm having a BBQ this Sunday which will no doubt turn into a house party justtt coz I wanna blast this track. YES, I'm sick of the club, Yes, I miss house parties..so you know Ima get it bumpin this Sunday, haha..mad sunshine, good food and a lotta Tanqueray, my shiiit.

Substantial- Resurrection of the House Party

Quoting Cube...

Today was a Good Day. And it really was, sun was SHINING bright, Summer is here!!

And no more uni life..wohoooooo

In celebration..

Sooooo

I should be working on my oral presentation but err, I'm over it, might jus wing it tomorrow. Anyway, on a real random note, my friend and I were discussing people that we know that don't swear at all, and at our age (e.g. early 20s). Well I for one, swear like a house on fire, ever since the age of about 12, it's been a issue. Of course I don't swear around certain older peeps (coz hello... backhand across the mouth!) but on the whole, I swear quite a damn lot, especially for a chick. Although there are a few chicks in my classes that drop a few fucks, shit n bitch up in the mix on the regular. Personally, I think it started as rebellion against my parents, mum: "watch your language, act like a lady", me: "ohh fuuuuck off" muttered under my breath of course cos yet again it woulda been backhand across the mouth. Maybe I'll grow out of it, I dunno.... but for now I'll be cussing my ass off...like a lady, lol.

ANNNDDD Again...

Yes, I really do think this is worthy of a re-post, there hasn't been enough downloads of these albums from my blog as I would have liked (yeah, that's right, I'm watching you!), so I'm posting again. yes you can call it propaganda but if there isn't at least one album/mixtape you think is DOPE BEYOND BELIEF, then feel free to hack my blog and delete it.

My "wtf...they aint blown up yet" list for 2008..


GOD...I've been dreading this post as the more I search for new shit, the more I discover I know fuck all about this. I've been following the blog scene for just over a year now and have sort of found myself gravitating towards the same sorta artists e.g. Pac Div, Blu, U-N-I etc etc and listen to other artists that they either associate with or have heard on a track with them so I haven't really been "discovering" new shit lately, which is dry as that's why I turned to the internet in the first place. Well on the rare occasion that I did go hunting by myself I have found a artists that have dropped some of my favourite albums/mixtapes of the fuckin year! And here they are..

1. Outasight, y'all know I been obsessed with this one since my first blog. If you STILL haven't got it, here is the link to his critically acclaimed album, Radio New York.




2. Stalley- This one I was wayyyyy late on, by like 4 months!LOL. His Goin Ape mixtape is DOPE!! those beats are killa and his flow is smooth not to mention he aint a dumb fuck either, perfect combination. Don't sleep on this one!
Download: Stalley- Goin Ape Mixtape: Part 1 Part 2

3. Greg Enemy- I owe a lot to MySpace friend requests as a significant number of my favourites I have found through clicking "Accept", lol, Mr Enemy being no exception. His self titled, free EP is the shiiiit. I love that fusion sorta hiphop, I don't like comparing but to compare the beats, you could liken to XV, e.g. the I don't give a fuuuuck sorta beats but he is on his own shit for sure, which I love. He will be the next "Big Blog Favorite", and you can quote me on that! Not to mention I have a thing for guys with glasses..ANNNND I didn't even know this but Mr Enemy is behind all the beats!..wtff..y'all NEED TO HEAR Top 10, that is my jam.

4. Mirage & Concept- This had to be one of the OMG one's of the year along with Mr Enemy. Good lord, where the fuck have these two been hiding?? The production is sooo smooth it aint funny, and Mirage's flow fits perfectly with every track, switching it up slightly every round. This is gonna be my ULTIMATE summer record, so for all you Southern Hemisphere peeps like myself, grab yourself a beer(...or 5!), hit the beach and wild out to this on the iPod, and the others...well jus pretend!
Download: Mirage & Concept- Long Days & Long Nights

P.S For those who aren't familiar with the fact that New Zealand resides usually a day ahead of everywhere else, the concept of their title Long Days & Long Nights refers to the fact that Concept (from my home, Auckland, NZ) would be workin all night where Mirage (from PA, USA) would be workin all day, yet at the same time.

That's it for now, this post has taken way to long to put together. I highly suggest you d/l all of these EP's or mixtapes, they're fuckin worth it.

That's right!!!

Say it again and say it loudly..we RUN SHIT when it comes to Rugby or Rugby League!! And YES...FINALLY WE KICKED SOME AUSSIE ASSSSSSS and thrashed the mafuckers last night in the World Cup Final...considering we got eaten alive last year almost 50-nil or something, I am savouring this moment right now. And as for that haka..ohhhh shiiiiiit, was some spine tingling stuff right there, yeah the Australians BEST know to make a quick exit after being all staunch and walking up to "take up the challenge"..the sight of Benji Marshall (No.6 for all you non Southern Hemisphere residing folk) lookin the Aussie side Kiwi (aka hori) in the face is classic, esp considering he earns about $5 million a year off the Australians.ahahaha.

Shuddering at the memory of myself having the exact accent of the commentator back in the day....errrrr

This went down as one of the best days of my life..

2nd row at the Stevie Wonder concert then venturing backstage to meet the man himself...shiiit.
@ Stevie Wonder.

We can take it all back to the register...

Listening to this song right now, one of my faves of all time, and no-one I know either knows this song let alone has a clue who the fuck the emcee is. Therefore if you know where this first verse is from, I think we are destined to be soulmates, LOLLL, seriously though, cos it basically means you're on the same page as me, and that's one rare occurrence. And DON'T GOOGLE IT..cheaters, lmfao.

Oh good lord..

The Alchemist is backkkkkk. Alcky (as I like to call him, lmao) is hands down one of my fave producers of all time, I don't understand why people don't rate him more, I'm officially stumped! Anyway, his album The Cookbook, which everyone has been waiting for, was released on iTunes today. Thanks to 2Db, here's a HELLA DOPE TRACK from the album feat everyone's favourite colour, Cudi and Evidence, damn that's a whole bunch of FINENESS up in that track..uhh video plz???!! I need that eye candy!

Download: The Alchemist feat Blu, Kid Cudi & Evidence-Therapy

A sweet reminder why Alcky runs shit!

UpAllNight...

with Godlee Barnes, BLZ, ULB, Johnson, whatever the fuck you wanna call him, e.g. Blu & Mainframe. New video from J&J, just what I needed today..more new ish from my prophet, Blu, lmao.

Johnson & Johnson- Up All Night

Keys Open Doors, Keys Open Dooors

Some new Clipse footage, which is a nice surprise. This is from the Fun Fun Fun Festival that recently went down in Texaaaasss, lol. Keys Open Doors, Keys Open Doors, prob one of my favourite lines everr from The Clipse, dry I know!

I'm sorry..

but I really, really can't help but love 50 Cent, yes he's a gimmick and whatever else all these conscious peeps are sayin but he still gets me goddamit! Anyway, alot of people don't know, but I'm a BIG fan of Ultimate Fighter, which is especially strange for a chick, but I just think it's the closest thing to legally killing someone humanly possible, therefore I watch it half cringeing at the thought of what could happen, but half amped to see someone's shoulder come outta the socket. Maybe its down to the testosterone filled, "manly" family I've grown up in.

Anyway, my latest On Repeat song- Get Up by Fitty featured in a UFC ad..oh yes..

Invincible live in Switzerland

Man, I love this chick, an absolute breath of fresh air. This is Invincible live from Switzerland doing her track "No Easy Answers". And because I've finished exams and on a high I'm gonna rummage through my own collection and upload my FAVOURITE Invincible collab with Japan's DJ Kou-G aka Grooveman Spot..track is wayyyyyy slept on. Shit, people that aren't up on the Jap scene are missing out...BIG TIME.

P.S Sorry for the lack of posts, have sort of rediscovered the real world now that exams are over, lol.
