watch Homeboy Sandman's video, ..yall motherfuckers gonna play his shit, shiiiieeettttttttt!! (extreme measures)



the boy sand freestyles for 10 mins, he is a beassttt!



heres the link to the video leave a comment, show some support!!


also from the show last night at Sputnik, i wish i had my camera ..i would upload the video with the quickness. Stage presence means so much, when a performer has so much energy & gets the crowd live ..its amazing. I've def seen a few that hype up the crowd, it changes everything about the show,& how i feel about them as an emcee.


oh & another thing ...its SO cold outside its fuckin celsius ...hahahaha right Sandman? new slang people ..thats def going to be in an upcoming song or freestyle LOL ;D

luckily my bad luck with the mta late night missions home didnt fuck up the night ..i guess we had "a lil bit o' luck" who stole the big head idea ..shiiitttttt


seeee??

^^& while thats up ..upcoming show at Crash Mansion March 22nd ^^ including NEG's Loj!

..but I'll remind ya bout that again later =]



&& yo ..how fucked up is that you left mr beatz ...!! =X

Album of the Year?

Overall 2007 had a bunchhh of great albums! Hip Hop is Dead? siiiike!!! I think Nas really made the artists go innnnn this year after his album and the whole controversy that came with it, props! & hopefully he sets the bar with his album in Feb as well ..'08 will be crazy!
