Lets rip off Navajos for the sake of fashion but then we’ll call it Aztec so the Injuns don’t get mad at us.
This shit is like a minimal version of Get On My Hype. Are triton’s going to make a comeback in the bay? I’m not hella mad at that, I fucked with hyphy but if it means Keak and the gravel pit are gonna make a comeback I’m so about it. I’ll take the Team rapping over those sounds rather than another Clyde Carson nap time record about rubbing ice on hoes or trying to cupcake with velvet.
I like Big Hud, sometimes his rhymes can be average but he does enough to keep me interested,. It’d be dope if he had more wordplay but he keeps his lyrics pretty straight forward, not a lot of line flipping. That track I Woke Up This Morning has this beat that reminds me of trance rap before it went so ravey. Hud has that North Texas/DSR style of delivery, not as syrupy as houston, touch more yelling. Not blown out vocals but yeah just that Dallas loud rap styling. The most south texas sound joint was the money already made with ESG which is nice to see him showing up, I haven’t been listening to ESG lately but now I want to find some new shit from him. Oh and smell my cologne is great for the pimp sample alone, I can get with almost any song that samples an angry pimp c on a rant.
You know that Everest college guy? Yeah I went to high school with him. He raps too, or at least did, under the name Big Nutt.
Hey fool, Matth has a new album out on Anticon called Baby Blue. Remember Matth? He was one of the nonwhites, producing for Pedestrian and did a release with Bully as part of their 7" series that had some heaters. If you don’t know then get learned on your shit fool. Anyways this is his new video for his sample heavy jazz stylin leaning record. I guess he’s going by Matt Chang now, everyone in the rap game is changing their names these days apparently. The record is a lot of humid tubas, shifty ass drums, voicemail drops, porch guitars, wailing things, fish grease, sampler stabbings, things that go ting, blues smoke, oh and no rap. It’s like you watched a documentary about something you never saw. Yeah dawg hella soundscapes and shit be lacing this thing.
You should check it though, stream the shit below fool
Three Signs You Shouldn’t Be Writing About Rap
LOL at this actually getting published.
You should read this because if there is one of a few constant things I do on twitter it’s complain about people who shouldn’t talk or write about rap that keep writing or talking about rap. It’s why I havent read a pitchfork review since 2005. It’s why I get mad at the internets, blogz, tweets, facebook, people I don’t want to be friends with but haven’t bothered to defriend yet, alt tumblrz trying to be down with the skreetz and all kinds of other stupid ass pointless bullshit that I waste my time hating on.

Oh man this was a come up. I came across these via instagram, just happened to see some of these crazy looking bottles on Uproot Andy’s feed. The design of the bottles got me curious so I looked them up. Found their tumblr and an email so I figured what the hell lets see if I can find out where to cop. I get a response from Andrea at La Fiera that tells me they aren’t sold in the US but it just so happened that she’s coming to San Francisco and could bring me two bottles. Life is just kind of awesome like that sometimes. That’s when I remembered I was going to Austin for FunFunFunFest so I wouldn’t be around to meet up with her. I ended up hollering at my homie to do me a favor and grab these joints for me. After I got back we were finally able to link up for a little tasting session.
Both are joven mezcals from Guerrero, Mexico where they are using a Maguey Papalote which apparently is different from the agaves that you’ll find used in most of the Oaxacan mezcals. The one with the white top was from Ahuacotzingo and had a lot more nose. It was more floral and sweet in smell and taste. It was the more delicate of the two is really the best I could describe it as. The red top was from La Laguna in Chichihualco, Guerrero. That one was the stronger of the too, it had more warmth and a stronger fragrance. While I like both of these the red top was really the one I had kept going back too just because I preferred it’s more herbal flavor over the sweetness of the white. I just really like that kind of wild anise flavor that some mezcals have and this one was just subtle and strong enough to keep things interesting. The smokiness is always welcomed as well. I don’t know if it’s the bbq fiend in me but that’s one of my favorite things about mezcal’s flavor.
I do not know if or when these might become available in the US but damn I hope it’s soon. I’m not sure the price point either but these should be here because as far as flavor goes they can compete with some of the higher priced stuff sold in the US already. I suggest you follow them on twitter, facebook, instagram, tumblr all that shit because the more popular they are the easier it will be for me to drink their stuff.
sometimes I reblog myself because people should know more about things I like
After hearing about Franklin’s Barbecue for a few years now I finally managed to sack the fuck up and roll down there. Nevermind seeing some friends go on a fat kid bbq tour of austin that really made me jealous but yeah it was time to man up. If you don’t know Aaron Franklin is one of the dudes really doing brisket proper, and I mean proper as fuck this dude’s brisket does not play. I’ve had a grip of brisket in my life, hell I grew up in Texas you couldn’t get away from it if you tried. Bad brisket sucks, it’s a motherfucker to chew and I hate it. Good brisket is nice, amazing brisket is harder to get but so worth it.
I hate lines but I didn’t want to chance them being sold out. If you show up at Franklin’s at 1 in the afternoon they probably won’t be serving. Dude sells out so buck the fuck up and get in line. They open at 11am Tues – Sun and it was the Friday of funfunfunfest. I’d seen some bands the night before but hadn’t gotten too crunk on beers so I got up early and manned up. I was in line at 9:30 am, this is not the time of day that I like to be outside but I did it because bbq is more important than me being around the daywalkers. A friend was gonna roll but he was up til 4am so I was rolling dolo.
There were about 25 people in front of me when I got there so I didn’t feel too bad. Figured fuck it, just stand here and listen to rap music and espn to pass the time. Well at about 10:45 the line was starting to hit the end of the parking lot so I instagrammed that bullshit. This was also when some one came out to let us know it would be about another 40 minutes or so. That’s when I said fuck time to start drinking beers. Dipped over the CVS across the street and swooped a six. I probably should have informed the people in line with me but I’m not concerned about them and I’ll get my spot back in line regardless, I don’t play doggie.
Anyways I got back in line and got to cracking beers by myself. Just about before noon they finally opened the doors and the line started moving inside. Half hour later I was at the counter and realized I had only 37 dollars in cash on me. Fuck, should have planned ahead. That’s when I saw a girl pay with a card so I made the decision to go in on this fucking bbq.
I ordered a combo plate of ribs and sausage, a pulled pork sandwich, 1lb of brisket (fatty, fuck lean cuts), 1lb of bbq turkey, sides were potato salad and beans. Oh and two coozies and a beer. I managed to somehow bring this meat mountain to a table in one hand as I still had a 6pack I was holding that I was working through. Sat down with a pile of paper towels and got to fucking work.
Buried underneath the ribs was a nice juicy piece of brisket so that was a little surprise of awesome. I ate that whole plate with no sauce it was just so fucking tender and moist that it wasn’t worth my time to really go playing around with some sauces. Honestly until I started going face first into that pulled pork sandwich did I even think about because I wanted more vinegar in it. Really that sandwich was the only miss for me. I’m not a fan of mayonnaise coleslaws, fuck that shit. I’d rather have it clean and taste pork juice and vinegar with a touch of tomato stuff in it. Also I would have liked more bark in the pork too but that’s just nitpicking really.
What I was here for was the brisket anyways and that did not disappoint. This shit would fall apart every time I went to pick up a slice, it was so dope. No dryness, no gristly chewathons, just straight smokey tender beef awesomeness that wasn’t doing too much, just shining the way central Texas brisket should. Outside of some memories of brisket as a kid that are more based on nostalgia than flavor this may have been the best I’d had. Totally worth getting up and standing in line for all the bullshit.
Oh man I almost forgot about the turkey, that was the look too. So many times I’ve had to eat some fucked up ass dry bird by some over enthusiastic circle prayer cook that I just do not fuck with it unless it’s some Yucatan steez. This though was proper, tender, juicy and flavorful.
As for the sauces I did end up tasting those a day later with my left overs that were still knocking pictures off da wall. The coffee joint I’d heard about and some think it might be weird but it reminded me of a coffee stout, smokey with out that burnt flavor that fucks up stouts. It was nice, I kept going back to the tangy joint as I prefer some tang and some spice. It wasn’t hot enough for me but that wasn’t something a little hot sauce couldn’t fix.
Anyways yeah that’s my trip to this spot, dudes serving some block beaters up in austin, you’re advised to fuck with it. Go early and stand there with the rest of the motherfuckers, it’s worth the wait.
I was in Texas last weekend so I stood in line for this.
