Drink Much?

So...Im sittin on my couch watching some CSI on Spike (the O.G. CST, go Grissom!) at like 3 p.m. and this commercial came on. I could not believe my eyes. I really don't know what to say about it, I'm split on it. Part of me would love to have to go to the club, as a clever way of avoiding exorbitant drink prices (unfortunately for now H-Man is ballin ON a budget...), and the other part of me thinks that this is the last thing the American people need, they are rampant enough alcoholic binge drinkers already. All i DO know is that this Drake "Fun" Thomas character is definitely lame as fuck. Though it looks like the dude can draaaank... The "Disposable Flask": A gift or a curse?

Thank You Chuck!

So the new beef this week is actuall really surprising ; Charles Hamilton vs. Soulja Boy! Mr. Hamilton went on the record somewhat criticizing the ringtone rapping bullshit that allows a disgrace like Soljah Boy to exist, and evoked a response from him. The end result is THIS hilarious "diss" song, done with auto-tune for comic effect over T-Pain's "Can't Believe It". Charles Hamilton, a.k.a. Sonic the Hedgehog, is an amazingly creative artist that has been working tirelessly, releasing mixtape after mixtape, whereas Soljah Boy has done absolutely nothing except for creating a ridiculously annoying dance. Charles Hamilton is part of the future of hip-hop, and hes definitely battling Camron for supremacy over the color pink!

The Most Loveable Hater

I was flipping through my iPod at the library today, trying to find some peaceful music that wouldn't distract me too much from my mathematics trying-to-remember-all-that-bullshit-from-high-school session, when i stumbled upon something that just seemed perfect for this forum, George Carlin's rant of "Things That Piss Me Off" (Get it HERE) I could not switch the track, and despite being in a silent library I was having a very hard time controlling my laughter Its brilliant, he foul-mouthedly, methodically, and hilariously goes through things that piss him off. He truly was a great comic, so muc more intelligent and educated than most of the entertainers out there, the man truly knew waht he was talking about. It was truly sad to see him go last year. Some of us may even remember him as the narrator/conductor of one of my personal favorite television shows as a child; Thomas The Tank Engine. I know it seems crazy, but its true, look it up... R.I.P George!

... Part II

You may wonder why i have yet again posted a picture of Ghostface again, and even if you were not wondering I am about to tell you. I have decided that whenever i write about experiences (both Fresh and Wakk...) that happen to me in New York City that i do not have any photos of, Ghost will be accompanying picture. I mean, after all, no New Yorker looks more thugged out or crazy than Ghostdeini the Great (besides for maybe ODB, may God rest his eternal cracked out soul). I did not deliver photographic proof of the extreme debauchery that went down in the Rotten Apple as i had promised, but i will tell you, debauchery on a massive scale definitely happened. After a monstrous 36 hour drinking rampage that involved phenomenal amounts of whiskey and vodka, as well as a Fresh Mango Margarita (breakfast at Cafe Habana, Prince St. and Elizabeth, mmmmmm.) and a coule 40s, H-Man hit rock bottom. Only MJ and he remained til closing time that night, when after a terrible attempt at speaking Spanish most terribly and inappropriately, H-Man was seen on the street of the Lower East Side kicking garbage bags and chasing after rats. That's right ladies and gentlemen, disgusting, and perhaps even wakk. As a result of this most enjoyable yet so destructive binge, I got sick as a dog and had to stay in the next night and watch MJ get drunk while we played video games, topped off by getting up mad early and having to endure the 5 hour bus ride back to D.C. with a splitting headache and a ever. So much fun followed by so much pain. All in all, awesome weekend, big props to MJ and EQ, I love you motherfuckers.

...

Nothing wack to report today my friends, cuz tomorrow ill be in New York Fuckin Citaaaaaay. It's my boy EQ's birthday, he was my sound mixer and producer for my hip-hop radio show back in Paris. Hes flyin from LA to NYC for some celebratin, so i'll be takin the bus tommorow afternoon. I might not be postin so regularly this weekend, but ill take plenty of photgraphic evidence of the debauchery that is bound to ensure, and ill try to hate long enough to be able to find something to write about for this forum, haha. Have great weekend, and just for once (its the only time ill ever say this!), don't hate, appreciate.

Anti - Drug?

Have you ever seen those "Above The Influence" anti-drug commercials. Do you ever sometimes think that the supposed "negative situations" depicted seem hilarious? I saw this commercial, and just started laughing hysterically. Wouldn't you want to walk in your kitchen all high and shit, lookin for a snack, and have your dog start TALKING to you? It seems crazy that anti-drug advocates (especially anti-weed...) somehow think that a talking dog might discourage youth from smoking weed. If anything, a talking dog may be great motivation for someone TO smoke. It just baffles me. It reminds me of the scene in road trip where Barry's (Tom Green) grandfather smokes and the dog starts talking to him (see below). Don't be afraid to light up and enjoy!

CONDOM DOG UPDATE!

So apparently, the dog discussed on Attack The Wakk yesterday is not dead (yet...), but is in the doggies hospital attached to a tube (i don't quite know how). There is no word yet on my boy's relationship status, but lets all hope that Brooke (the sick dog) pulls through from the awful experience of ingesting semen filled latex. Ill keep you updated on any further developments...

CRAZIEST WAY TO GET CAUGHT CHEATING!

Right, so cgheck this: After i went to the Clipse party last night, I met up with one of my boys, who told me the craziest story I have ever heard from almost anyone's mouth. This anonymous individual has a girlfriend. While his girlfriend and family were away for the holidays, he volunteered to house-sit for them. While house-sitting, he ended up fucking some other chick at his girlfriend's house. After the deed was done, he somehow inexplicalby just left the used condom on the floor. Unfortunately for him, the family's dog (which apparently is pint sized) happened to eat that condom. The dog proceeded to get very sick in the next few days, so much so that when the girlfriend and family came back to town, yesterday, they took the dog to the vet. Upon pumping the dog's stomach the veteranarian found the condom, and insisted that it contained sperm. My boy gets a call at 9 pm last night with his girlfriend screaming at him and telling him that her dog is going to have to be put down, and that its his fault. I haven't had the nerve to ask him if the dog died, and he certainly has not admitted to his actions....i hope the dog is alright, but regardless, this is the type of story that legends are made out of...

A Bathing Ape Winter 2008 Collection

I always liked the Bape sneakers (even if the Bapestas are pretty much a rip off of the Nike Air Force 1s) and the fullzip sweatshirts, but come on, this shit is getting out of control! Their winter collection looks like the bad part of grandpa's closet in the 70's, not to mention the astronomical price tags. Come on Nigo, you can do better than that.

Quit Hatin on Rik!

I really don't get it. People are attacking Rik Cordero's videos because he manages to make excellent videos on small budgets? What the fuck is goin on?...if it wasnt for Rik, wed be seeing the video to "We Takin Over" (not to say that its not a DOPE song...) again and again no matter who the rap artist was. Rik is raising the bar for what can be done creatively with low budgets and certain other people are just resistant to that change. He bring s grittiness and style that makes his videos more like short films than videos. Good shots are better than frivolous bullshit bells and whistles. The hip-hop community needs to understand and embrace the change of aesthetic that Rik is bringing. Here are a few of my favorites of Rik's videos.


I been bumpin to this song for a while now...hot like fire.






You know i had to put some DC love in there, shout out to the undisputed ambassador of rap for the capital, Wale!

Hatin Hard With MJ in NYC...

The title and the picture really say it all...

Curtis!

I just want to know WHY, after putting such great artists as Wale, Kid Cudi, Blu and B.o.B this month, would XXL decide to give this clown another cover. Can you even remember what 50's last album was called? Do you know what the upcoming is supposed to be called? What the hell happened to G_Unit? After Kanye destroyed Curtis in last year's sales showdown (with Yeezy pickin up a few Grammys along the way) i haven't heard anyyyything from him. The last time i bobbed my head to some 50 was listenin to "Hate It or Love it", and most of that was The Game's doing...

HATERS OF THE WEEK: THE D.M.C.A

Alright. Something extremely unfortunate happened today over at our other blog, Fresh Like Green Tea. Some of you may have seen the Kanye West post from yesterday, which included all the already leaked tracks off his upcoming album, as well as all his animated music videos (straight from YouTube). Today, all of the post was removed from the blog by Blogger, and i was notified via email that apparently i was violating other people's rights through some of the things on my post according the D.M.C.A (Digital Millennium Copyrights Act). I'm seriously shocked. I only posted songs that have already been leaked all over the internet and showed videos that were easily available on YouTube. On top of all this, I was encouraging my readers to go out on Nov. 24th and purchase Kanye West's new album. What the fuck is wrong with a world in which a lowly blogger with a small audience giving free promotion to an artist they like and admire by re-posting already leaked material easily available elsewhere? I am in the process of drafting a statement for both Attack the Wakk and Fresh Like Green Tea in which I ask anyone that has a problem with that is posted to email me, and if the claim is reasonable, i will remove the material. And just one more thing: FUCK the industry for this.

Soup alla Beef Vol. 2

So here's a pledge to the new Urban Secretary:

With the car industry crunching and shriveling up its the perfect time to expand and improve public transportation nationwide. I think this would be essential to not only provide a cheap, convenient and clean way of transportation, but also social development to the US as a nation as one.

We all know public transport IS cheap, because its cheap, IS convenient, because you avoid traffic and parking, IS clean because you are saving gas, congested highways, and wannabe roadkill, but what else can public transport do for us?

Personally I grew up in a German city with excellent public transport, as in most European cities. This is not because we are better over here or anything, but because we have, in Germany for example, 82 million people living on top of each other. Thats like having 10 New York Cities between NYC and VA Beach! So to get your drivers license in Germany cost you around a grand and gas is about 4 times as expensive as in the states. Quite the incentive to us public transport.

I myself recognized another benefit. Everyday as a kid I would wake up, get fly, put on my backpack with everything I needed for the day, and head on out. And I wouldn't be home till dinner. Its unbelievable the amount of different people I met along my way, and NO city spot or even "close by" city was to far away. Imagine three cities within 20 minutes of each other! VERY different cities at that... Now you can only imagine the network of people we built up and were exposed to.

You meet people from all walks of life. This is a good thing. It makes you grow up and learn about LIFE. True life. And this is exactly what America needs more of, for a better cultural understanding. Especially the land of Suburbia.

In a wrap: Quality Public Transport is the first step towards a healthy, strong, aware and open society, in which people truly get to know their neighbor and hopefully eventually become not only their brothers keeper, but their neighbors keeper too.

So get out on that bike, hop on the metro, cruise to work and observe the daily grind wake up. Get on that pulse of the city and live as one.

Peace and be safe.

Where Da Gold At?!

After laughing so hard for 10 minutes that I nearly cracked a rib, i began to wonder a few things about this clip. Is it real? I see the NBC logos on the mics, but the amateur sketch (which was pretty much the funnies thing in there)? If this is real, then I am truly in disbelief of the ignorance that exists i this country. And also, one might think that the reporters chose the most ignorant people to interview, which in my view, is completely unprofessional. If this is fake, all I can say is that it's amazing. I hope it's a hoax...

Beef Soup

No doubt I could not be happier about the class the American people showed by setting aside any fears they may have and voting for the best man as president. The "May the best man win" style democracy is blooming live and in full effect.

However, the one thing no one is talking about, is the self centered attitude America has had and still displays during the race and in the aftermath of the election. This self-centeredness is exactly what got the us into disfavor with the rest of the world in the past and we can't let it happen again.

During this election all people ever talked about is what Obama is and will be to the American people. Fair enough, he is the American president after all. But what is he to the rest of the world? What impact does the symbolism of having a black president with remote middle eastern and Muslim decent have for the rest of the world?

Let me say it how I see it:

For example, how would you convince young soldiers to attack a nation and notion that shows true opportunity. A true ideal no longer represented by the "western white bad guy" but instead a man from a common background. By common background I mean a man that rose to the top by his own ability and and hard work, and not through passed down aristocratic political connections. The election is proof of a meritocracy if you will, and no nation or peoples on earth has ever disagreed with the value of meritocracy. In addition he looks Middle Eastern and his middle name is Hussein. No doubt this choice of Barak Hussein Obama will significantly take out the wind from the sails of any terrorist PR Rep...

According to this it seems like the best way to fight terrorism was to vote for Obama. This is just one example and I'm not looking to tire your eyes, but my beef simply is this: In the public eye, why don't Americans ever sincerely, consciously and critically debate the way the world views them and their actions? It would make things easier for all of us in the long run if the US politics and media became more worldly.

I can only hope that Americans don't revert to thinking they are the greatest nation on earth and they have more right to existence than other nations do. Granted, we have made a good choice as president, but he is more conservative than people think. Democracy is a peoples politics and it is still on us to repair the US image by taking action and showing humbleness and compassion to the world.

We have spoken, now we have to act.

Soulja Gurl!

Even though this shit is HILARIOUS without knowing the reasons behind the apparently sudden freakout (sadly, the young woman is afflicted with Bipolar disorder and had neglected to take her medication), the underlying reason is that she would not be screaming "Souljah Girl" if it were not for the most unfortunate existence of the dreaded ringtone rapper Soulja Boy. Last week he publicly thanked ( i swear to God this is true) slavemasters of the past for bringing Africans to America where they could get rich and get bling. In the immortal words of the legendary Ice-T, "Fuck Souljah Boy! Eat a dick!"

Sexy Balloon Burst

This belongs here. Even though this here be a forum of hate - gotta love them titties...

T-Bag

Aight, here we go, part 2 of the T-Pain hatefest. I stumbled upon this video the day before i went to NYC (excuse me for not posting it sooner) and was just appalled...I know that this video is supposed to be ironic, but i se no difference in the usual behavior of either T-Pain or DJ Khaled in other more "serious" videos...T-Pain is still bouncing around like a fucked-up looking zookeeper and Khaled is doing what he does best...screaming "We The Best" at the top of his lungs, rocking a pendant that discreetly says in enormous diamond encrusted letters...you guessed it..."We The Best". Yeezy is right at the beginning of the video when talkin to T-Pain ;"No I will certainly not go to the club with you", cuz i definitely wouldn't either.

College Education At Its Finest

haha

Playin It Out

Mr. Paul Potts - Bigup my man! All you Radio Stations, TV Channels and Show Rooms Instigators out there - yous wack for turning this once miraculous moment of sound into a played out piece of "i can't hear it no more" wackness. (I believe the US has been spared of the abuse, so enjoy it if your seeing this for the first time...)

Pain in my Ass

Alright. I think it's time that someone asks publicly what we've all been asking ourselves secretly; what the fuck is up with T-Pain? I've got to give him some props for bringing vocoder back to the scene (allowing Weezy and Yeezy to make some damn interesting stuff), but other than that, the man is a joke. Take this picture above, for example. Does this look like an immensely popular singer (?) or a fuckin circus clown? The answer is quite clear, he's startin to look more like Ronalod McDonald than anyone ive ever seen. It's not as if he dresses like this in the privacy of his own home, he actually willingly and enthusiastically appears of TELEVISION like this. Dude's gotta put that top hat away for good...plus i will also say, the man's catalogue is starting to sound suspiciously similar and redundant...

Featured Hater #1

Be it a Joker or a Hater - there is always an ounce of truth hidden behind it all.

Hate, Hate, Hate!

Welcome to the daily hate space, where Mr. Knutz and I will hate on whatever we see fit for that day. Ima start off with some hate, we wanted our blog to be "attackthewaCK", but lo and behold some other dude had already registered that name on blogger...so naturally i went to the blog, and much to my dismay and disgust, this individual does not have a single post up. You'd think someone with the brilliant idea of creating a name as great (you know it is!) as "attackthewack" would at least have one post...so...we settled for the closest thing, the misspelled version, "attackthewaKK". Anyways, it is only appropriate that the first post be a picture of the two guys brining you the daily hate report, Swervin' Irvin and Mr. Long Knutz, way back in the day. Get ready for some serious hatin y'all...
