"R.I.P MCA" - Blackbook Art by Slick Dissizit

DemocracyNow.org - The pioneering hip-hop artist Adam Yauch died Friday of cancer at the age of 47. Known by his nickname "MCA," he was one-third of the legendary Beastie Boys. He was a practicing Buddhist and helped organize the Tibetan Freedom Concert. In 1998, he made headlines when at the Video Music Awards he publicly criticized the climate of racism toward Muslims and Arabs, and the Clinton administration's bombings of Sudan and Afghanistan. [Correction: It was incorrectly noted in our headline today that Yauch was speaking out against bombings in Iraq. It was rather bombings in Afghanistan and Sudan.]

"MCA you went AWOL RIP" - Rath COD/UPS

'AWESOME: I FUCKIN' SHOT THAT' @ The Prince Charles Theatre

ALL BOX-OFFICE TAKINGS TO BE DONATED TO CANCER RESEARCH! Starring: Mike D, Adam Horovitz and Adam Yauch 

"The tragic passing of founding Beastie Boy Adam Yauch was a shock to the system for both music and film fans alike. Not only was he part of one of the most influential HipHop groups of all time, but he also set up independent film production & distribution company Oscilloscope Laboratories, who helped titles such as We Need To Talk About Kevin and Meeks Cutoff find an audience in the States. When the news reached the office of his passing, we immediately jumped to action to put together a screening to celebrate the life of MCA, and we couldn't think of anything better than a screening the Beastie Boys' 50 camera, crowd-shot concert film, 'AWESOME: I FUCKIN' SHOT THAT' and donating all the box office takings to Cancer Research. So come on down, help us raise some money for charity and turn our downstairs screen into one huge send-off party for the & only Nathanial Hörnblowér." - T.P.C.T.Tickets can be bought on line HERE

Armageddon, Fat Joe, N.O.R.E. & DJ Doo Wop - It's Over (Remix)

The wait is now over for Armageddon's latest single, It's Over (Remix) featuring Fat Joe, N.O.R.E. & DJ Doo Wop on SoFlo Entertainment. With a play on words, director Exile Ramirez and cinematographer Brian Przypek compose the visual realities and dynamics involved with entering the rap game as Armageddon, Fat Joe and N.O.R.E. give their uncompromising honesty in taking down any "weak emcee." In this video, Fat Joe and N.O.R.E. make it a statement to point out and capture these individuals who have no place in the industry and pass them up to Armageddon for the final slaughter. It is a bold statement, but given with an undeniable wordplay. Anyone thinking otherwise is welcomed to say so themselves at Twitter.com/GeddyMusic.

Armageddon - Sending My Love (Official Music Video) clean

Armageddon - Dance With The Devil

Armageddon sits behind the Director's chair alongside Gee Notes (of Beast Corps) for the visuals to, "Dance With The Devil." Shot in short-film style, the story follows a street gang in desperate need of a mischievous, adventurous night, and embark on a dark, twisted ride that ends even more demented than it began. Amidst the suspense and mystery, Armageddon still incorporates the classic, fun vibe of Hip-Hop culture as he rocks to a packed house party. "Dance With The Devil," is off his recent SoFlo Entertainment/Geddy Music release, The Journal Vol I: Rebirth.

Cazal Couture Part 2!

Cazal Couture Part 2

By an inter Planetary fluke we were working on an article on Cazal glasses when our brother Dynomite of BREAKS FOR DAYS BEATS FOR WEEKS beat us to it! So after letting him know (as biting is illegal, against the law), and in a show of B-Boy solidarity we decided to link the two! Here is part 2! Fooor you!


BREAKS FOR DAYS BEATS FOR WEEKS Cazal Couture Part 1

As many people are aware, Cazal were standard wear for true B-Boys & B-Girls, but since artists like Rick Ross, Mos-Def, Jay-Z, Kanye West have been sporting them of late, the prices are going through the roof on e-bay . The Kool Skool thought we would have a brief look at the hottest shades in Hip-Hop!


Kanye and the film Rocknrolla bumped the price up on these 858's!
