Hip Hop won't make you dumb, but Lil' Wayne will...

this is a very interesting article that brings up a few really good points. click link to read whole thing.

According to the Wall Street Journal, The 25-year-old founder of WikiScanner, a database that tracks the IP addresses of anonymous Wikipedia editors (revealing that the CIA, the Vatican, and various Congressional staff members -among others- have made edits on the site to remove potentially sensitive information) is back at it again, this time causing controversy within Hip Hop:

"Virgil Griffith used aggregated FaceBook data about the favorite bands and books among students of various colleges and plotted them against the average SAT scores at those schools, creating a tongue-in-cheek statistical look at taste and intelligence. For example, the favorite musician of the smartest students was Beethoven , with an average SAT score of 1371. Also on the “smart” end of the scale were Sufjan Stevens (1260), Counting Crows (1247), and Radiohead (1220). And sadly for Lil Wayne , enjoying his music was associated with being the dumbest, with an average SAT score of 889."

Who Would Have Known

i felt many people would want to know: What is a perculator?
A perculator (perc for short) is basically an additional water chamber found in the main shaft of the bong tube. Several companies use different designs, but they all focus on more water to smoke interaction, making for a better filtered and cooler hit. Some of the better known companies take it a step farther by adding diffusers into their percs, which basically break the smoke up into smaller bubbles making a cooler smoke.

Here is an example of a 3-chambered Phx trinity.




What is a diffuser?
A diffuser is another type of downstem for a bong. Contrary to a downstem, a diffuser resembles a test tube as its sealed on the end or pierced with many small holes or slits. These slits break up the smoke into smaller bubbles than a normal downstem.

Why the need for smaller bubbles? The smaller the bubbles, the greater the surface area of the smoke that contacts the water, thus filtering and cooling the smoke more efficiently. This makes the bong almost silent silent. Many glass companies sell diffusers to fit their bong: Roor, Phx, and Bluedot.

Here is a pic of a german Roor diffuser along next to a Phx diffuser.

Bay Area: Evenodds feat. Big Rich

new video from Evenodds feat. Big Rich called gettin' money all day. there are many very funny things about this video and i'll just point out a few cause i'm kushed out my mind. first 10 sec of video Big Rich is counting $1 dollar bills, when they are performing at end there's no one there and there using blatent cord mic's as if they were cordless thats why it looks so tiny in big rich's hand (plus he's huge), and by the end the storyline of the video, which doesn't make sense, has them getting robbed. how hood is that? haha

Classic+Story=free and i are snorkling

when i was way younger, i'm talking 1st or 2nd grade, i was in love with a girl in my class and her name was Iesha Jackson. she was beautiful, funny, smart and would give me her peperoni's on pizza day. after the year was over and it was summer i was hanging out at the school, hooping or playing kick ball, and i saw her across the playground with her mom dukes. so i ran over and was like "what up pretty young thang?", she looked up and was crying. she said "my mom's section 8 got moved to Fremont and I'm moving." she turned and walked away with her mom. that was the last time i saw her. one day we will see each other again. but until that day came my cousin Rachel blessed me with tape of Another Bad Creation's (ABC) coolin' at the playground ya know!. on this glorious cassette was a classic song called Iesha. HOLY SHIT!!!! the best part about it is that i still listen to this song 16 years later and it has the most hilarious but classic video. make sure to watch the whole thing cause the ending has a snow storm. haha. i couldn't embed it but click the link or photo and watch it.
