Koncept & Tranzformer "High" (Official Video)

Koncept in the kitchen... I don't think i would ever be picturing that but shit  here it is. This video is pretty awesome, the beat is dope and the song is about something that i can completely relate to, being HIGH. Koncept another one of BBAS hard working members killin it again.

Tragedy Khadafi's "Each One, Teach One" & "Outstanding" (prod. by Audible Doctor)

The Audible Doctor has been busy making beats. And here he goes with some more crazy ones. These two  songs are both really fucken awesome. He is such a talented producer and I'm glad that he's doing more and more projects. Can't  wait till he comes out with his own actually (wink wink)... Regardless Tragedy killed it on both songs and Audible Doctor did his thing.

YC The Cynic “Hello, Newman!”



YC The Cynic not to be confused with just YC. Yes, they are two different people one of them which can actually rap and the other that just made a catchy song that really is NEVER going anywhere. Anyways, YC the Cynic just released this song today "Hello, Newman!" I'm  going to assume that he might of been a fan of "Seinfield" ... well whatever it is this is a dope song and YC the Cynic is dope. So check it out:

Hello, Newman! by YC The Cynic

Random Axe ft. Roc Marciano “Chewbacca” [Video]


Random Axe has some of my FAVORITE Mc's. You have the best of Detroit in there and with this song you're adding Roc Marciano you can't go fucken wrong. Roc Marciano had a crazy album  he dropped last year that was dope as shit. So when i heard this song i knew it was gonna make be redonkulous. 

Murs x Ski Beatz "Lets Go!"

the first time that i ever met murs was when I was an intern at Def Jux. He was really funny and told me that I should NEVER go no tour  with a bunch of dudes cus its gross. I still to this day i  have never been on tour. But I'm glad to see that he's still on his grind. This video is really different from his older stuff but I guess it's a new type of music coming out "Rap Rock" and he's doing his thing with it. Check it out

DJ Premier on Will Sessions' "Elmatic Instrumentals"

This video is a promo video for Will Sessions but it has one of my favorite producers, Dj Premier promoting. So of course I had to watch. Just have to say that this mix tape is fucken ill. And to have a video with DJ Premier giving them props on how well they recreated the music is prob the biggest honor. He is a legend and knows what this should sound like. Will Sessions did an fucken AMAZING job and Elzhi killed it.

Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest REVIEW



I’ve watched many movies and none have really made me think and feel sad. I think that Michael Rapaport did an amazing job of getting this documentary done. I know that Q-Tip went crazy about it and tried to tell people not to watch it but I think it’s cus he thought he looked bad (which he did) but at the same time it is what it is. I mean if the other people in the group say the same things then I can’t think that they are all against him. At the same time I think that they needed to really talk it out and then hug it out. Sometimes stupid shit you need to forget about ESPECIALLY when you’re an influential group like them. The movie shows real emotions and thoughts. It’s something that you don’t see in hip hop.  Now, the reason why I was sad was not because of the whole beef that they had but because hip hop today isn’t like this anymore. The music doesn’t have the same feel and no matter what people may do today they won’t make that impact on the hip hop world like Tribe did. It made me remember that “mainstream” hip hop was actually good in the 90’s. Hip Hop was a fun and socially conscious. Artist wanted to be smart and they wanted people to think which is something artist don’t do anymore. Being in the music industry and having to listen to music that sucks it makes me sad to think that “mainstream” hip hop will never get back to that. There isn’t a new group today that would be able to have a documentary made about them that people would care about. If this movie made such an impact on my feelings it had to be AMAZING. So if you haven’t checked it out yet you should!!

Brown Bag AllStars - Got It All (DJ Brace Remix) [Official Video]

This is one of my FAVORITE BBAS songs. So i'm glad that they made a DOPE ass video to it. The way it was shot is fucken amazing. I couldn't really say anything bad about it. I think that these dudes are really takin it to the next level. They make me believe in hip hop... Good music, dope beats and awesome lyricist. So check this shit out.

Frank Ocean "Thinking About You"


Frank Ocean - Thinking About You (music video) from High5Collective on Vimeo.

aight i like frank ocean. I think he's got a good voice and he's really fucken weird which is something that i'm into. This video was paid for by him NOT any label. It's weird and it really doesn't make any sense to me but shit I still liked it. WHatever he's tryin to be different and a rebel. I think it's workin cus people are def tryin to get it in with him.

Elzhi freestyle @ SOB's NYC LIVE

I went to see Elzhi a few weeks ago and he was amazing. I taped most of the show i even got YC the Cynic and Eternia on stage as well.I was trying to edit the videos then forgot to put them up... Ooops... it's all good. I'm putting it up now. :)  You can check out  more vids on my youtube page

Kick Ass Pussy Pump w/FREE Demo DVD!

So we all have heard  of a penis pump it was only time when they would come out with a Pussy Pump. Uhh... yeah not really interested in  trying to make my vagina bigger and or swollen SOooo  yeahhhh... not gonna try it.  But this is suppose to help women that  just can't get the Big  O. It helps blood flow  to the clitoris. This to me sounds pretty scary like someone pinching it. I do like however, that it has a "How to" video. and the description really kills me, "Amaze your husband or boyfriend with the look and feel of huge, puffy lips." really? does my boyfriend really want to feel huge puffy vagina lips???? 

Beer of the Week



I haven't done this in a while. I actually have been in hibernation for a little so my drinking really hasn't been on point. Even so I have definitely drank enough to do another post. Umm... I don't think I ever payed homage to the Japanese Beers. So this week I wanted to showcase one of the Best beers from  Japan, Sapporo Beer!! It is fucken amazing. If you get it in a can its in this crazy metal looking thing and you look at it and you're like, "WTF??"  but once you crack that shit open and drink it... it's amazing. It's a light beer and it goes down smooth. This is a refreshing beer that I love drinking when its fucken hot out. For more info Click Here

I love Elzhi and there is going to be WAY more of him since i did get a chance to see him live at SOB's. But this is his new video and I LOVE this song off his Mixtape. I can't believe people don't like it. Ridiculous. But he did justice to a classic song and if anyone else did it... it would prob suck.

TV's Andy Levy Apologizes To Chris Brown And His Fans

As much as Chris Brown is popular he really needs someone to put his ass in place. I personally don't want to support someone that abuses his girlfriend and is slightly crazy. I really don't understand how he gets away with this shit. It just shows how stupid people are. So I'm glad to put this video up... GO TEAM LEVY!!!
