Tastespotting

By Chungaiz | Published: August 29, 2008

Nas And Green Lantern – Nigger MixTape

By Chungaiz | Published: August 29, 2008
  Nas’ rhymes have almost always been on point, but like Jay-Z his beats have been massively dissapointed me. Many people, in fact. The Nigger MixTape by Green Lantern is a better way to listen to the latest Nas album than the released (“Untitled”) version. Download the Green Lantern and Nas mixtape here.

You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video I’m pretty sure they don’t make good comedy sketch shows anymore do they?

A bit odd, but I like it. above: Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote (source: hyungkoolee.net) South Korean artist Hyungkoo Lee is exhibiting his Animatus show in the Natural History Museum [...]

By Kai | Published: August 15, 2008
This is a little bit older, but a brilliant bit of reasoning by the kiwi’s – disposing of a stranded eight ton dead stinking whale which can not be burried or cut up: easy, blow it up and “let the scavengers, seagulls, crabs and what-not can clean it up”. You need to a flashplayer enabled [...]

You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video Breaksblog looks like an awesome resource for free Drum’n'Bass, but most particularly it’s an opportunity for me to relive my youth. The first club I ever went to was Blue Note for the Sunday night MetalHeadz sessions. I used to rock a suit [...]
