Super Dope Fantastic Blog


Check out my mans new blog
Sdonsuperdopefantastic.blogspot.com

SDon is a man about town. A man of Lesure and travel. but still at the core is a humble man of the people. I heard he and his small clan of associates run this blog straight posting the illest in whats new in street fashion, media, life and all sorts of other shit Yamean!? Oh you think you met SDon and he wasn't black and he didn't talk all ignorant and shit like he does in the blog. Oh you thought he was some smart ass hipster with tight pants but when you saw him his pants were of a reasonable fit. But one time he had these grey jeans on that was kinda suspect but you let it slide cause your mans was all "Na he's cool man! That dude be on some ill chill shit" and you were all "aight word but I think he still might be gay cause he's into fashion and he was saying some weird shit. But he did have some fly Jawn with him so that might not be true. But you hope it is because you wanted to get with that Jawn and you spent $220 dollars on your jeans so your basically just haten... Fucken Haters..

Named "Independent hip-hop's premiere festival" by SOHH.COM, the festival supports this genre of music where advanced lyricism, stinging political commentary and quality DJ performances flourish in a seemingly parallel universe.

The 2009 lineup will feature performances from ATMOSPHERE, TECH N9NE, LIVING LEGENDS, BROTHER ALI, B-REAL, GROUCH & ELIGH, CAGE, BLU & EXILE, EYEDEA & ABILITIES, LMNO, DJ VAL THE VANDAL, VERBS AND THE BAYLIENS; the event will be hosted by 2MEX.

Akilles: No Rest for the Weary


My man Akilles links up with Phrequency.com for an unedited interview. Here's a taste.

What would you want somebody to take away from your music, either at a show or from your album?

AK: "I want them to feel like they understand me, and understand the things that frustrate me, and understand the things I take with a grain of salt and I'm happy with because I only write about things I argue about for hours with people and have discussions about. I want people to feel like they're listening to something they can't classify. I don't want people to turn it on and say “oh he's trying to sound like Jay” or “oh, that's that backpacker shit” or whatever. I really don't want to be lumped into any particular genre like that. I have a lot of lyrics on this joint, so people will call it hip hip off the top, but I'm really into songs. If people can understand the individual concepts on songs, that would be great for me. I really want people to feel it and want more."

Totally Absurd Inventions (funny shit)

Bumper Dumper
from TotallyAbsurd.com

Bumper Dumper
US Patent Issued In 2000

Camping can lack certain niceties we have all come to appreciate, such as a place to sit and ponder yonder while our daily duties grow fonder (were not exactly sure what this means but we really wanted it to rhyme). If you're tired of using the bush or smelly outhouses, here's your dream come true, the Bumper Dumper. Just plug it into the trailer hitch of your vehicle (we'd like to think it's a pick'emup truck) and have at it.

We're not sure how intimate you want to be with your friends and neighbors but we would suggest a Bumper Dumper portable privacy screen as a nice accessory. See more totally absurb patents and inventions here.
