Transcendent Premiere!

So a while back we posted about a young Emcee named Transcendent, and gave us a exclusive sneak peek to an track off of his upcoming mixtape. Well today he released the track in full. Enjoy kids!

Movie Review and Preview

So, tonight I took a girl from my former school on a date. We decided at the last minute as we walked up tot he ticket window to see "The Last Air Bender"


NOW, the movie done by director "M. Night Shamalan" (sp?) is based of a Anime played on American TV channel Nickelodeon.



vvvv: This is a FAN MADE video of what would come if there was a movie made of it.







vvvv THIS is the trailer for M. Nights version that went into theaters.






Now, my critique is somewhat short. M. night although constantly being bashed for fucking up movies... did a decent job on this one, GIVEN the fact that he had a crap load of anime and pre-written, pre-drawn, pre-released story line and tv show to work off of. its a shame he effed the small bits he did at all. (>__<) First off, he should have fired his casting director....

I was unaware the world was made of of all white people... But this movie changed that. he must of not noticed that in the cartoon, the different tribes resembled there real life geographical counterparts.

The southern water tribe = Eskimo-type people. The earth nation was Native American/Hispanic type people. The fire nation were Asian type, resembled Japanese mostly. And the air nation, was a mixture of White/ Asian influence.

Second off, M. Night condensed a good half the story line and the movie skipped around a little bit, making it hard to follow if you hadn't seen the cartoon before. This alone made me want to ask my date if we could sneak into another movie, since she kept leaning in saying, "I'm lost, who is he?"

Third off, That dumb ass director condensed a movie that already ran just under 2 hours. Wtf?! why condense it if its 1hr 45mins long, just get your lord of the ring shit on and make a 3 hrs give us the full story line!

THEEEEENNNNN! Inside that two hours of condense storyline, he only gave us one chapter... OUT OF THREE!!!!!

But off to better things, In the commercials for the movie before hand, I saw a trailer for a movie I've been waiting to see if it got put into productions. THE GREEN HORNET. Many of you know that hip hop was shaped by pop culture, and one of the biggest influences was martial arts, and BRUCE LEE. well, Bruce Lees FIRST American TV acting role, was as KATO, in "THE GREEN HORNET".

For those of you who don't know who Bruce Lee was, here's the second fight scene he has in his debut American movie, ENTER THE DRAGON vvvv




This movie stars Seth Rogen, from movies such as, "Knocked up", "Zach And Mari Make A Porno", "Pineapple Express", and "Funny People".

Jay Chou is a Chinese pop star and has Acted in a well know live action movie of an anime called "Initial D (The Movie)". If it looks familiar, Initial D is what was used as the base for "The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift" IMO Initial D was a better made movie, better (and more) racing scenes.

Heres a trailer vvv




So with no further a due, everyone, THE GREEN HORNET TRAILER! vvv

The Second Effect

So, I'm going to be posting up a bunch of Album Critiques for a bit because were so far behind and have to play catch up, before we can be a step ahead of the game like in 2008.

This post is about a artist I introduced about a year ago, called Kill Paradise. A while back KP put out his third album called "The Second Effect" You can listen to the album in full along with the rest of his music on his purevolume @ http://www.purevolume.com/killparadise/albums

but here's my fav song off the album, its called "Just Friends?"



This album, although short is simply amazing and fun to listen to in the car with your friends, or when your doing some spring cleaning. It's got a fun upbeat tempo, and fun lyrics. The songs are all poppy love ballads, but at the same time promote having fun with out getting overly serious. It's so fun to listen too. ENJOY =)

The Storm Troopers 365 Project

Hey guys, Remote here. So as you all know I'm heavily into photography and it's what I'm studying in school as my major. I just wanted to bring you guys a set of 365 of the coolest StarWars action figure pictures ever!

As you know hip hop is based around that geeky vibe, and pop culture of the 80's, and Star Wars has played a decent influence in a lot of Backpackers lives. So Enjoy the few I post here, and continue over to Stefan's Flickr to see the rest @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/st3f4n/sets/72157616350171741/

Thank Me After Your Done Crying

So, lately I've been feeling really sad, or indifferent almost. I've got this feeling that the world around me is spinning faster than I can turn to watch it. But at the same time the days move by to slow to keep my attention; so I fall asleep and forget what I should be doing.

This along with the feeling that I've fallen in love with a girl I've only met once and danced with at the club, a girl I went to school with, and acted like I wasn't interested in her; and another girl I've only met once, and talked to for a total of 2 minutes... Intrigues me, knowing full well that I don't have any true feelings for any of them.

I've now figured out what has caused these feelings to start. Drakes new album is so expressive, that he actually conveys his feelings into your mind if you listen to the album repeatedly in a days span.

My mind was blown when I realized this. Rap and R&B music has taken such a poppy turn in recent events of the media's control that it's rare a song comes out that does anything more than make you wanna dance, party and get drunk.



Thank Me Later conveys FULL FEELINGS across the air waves as if Aubrey is spilling his soul to you in a confessional. Well put your Pope hat on, and dig in deep, because it's a roller coaster of emotions for yourself after he's done.

If you haven't picked up this album yet I strongly recommend it. I will be playing this in the car on my next date, hopefully it'll turn my date on like it does me, cuz my emotions are running high, and I'm almost to short to control them.

Break Through Artist of the Week

This weeks break through artist of the week, is 17 year old Kristian Garcia, aka Transcendent, out of Cypress CA. I met dude in the "Freestyle Rhyme Session" of Bboy.org. We clashed at first during the online cyphers and discussion of hip hop and what it means to be an emcee. But since then we've become some what close, and I'm proud to say dude can seriously spit. He just recently got offered a deal at a local independent label around his home town. He blessed us with an exclusive preview of a song off his up coming mix tape enjoy.



Now obviously that's just a short verse. so enjoy a few of his other tracks hes let out on to youtube.





We here at LSG wish Kristian good luck with his career and expect him to make it in the underground scene with no problem.

Next week we'll introduce a hot gospel Emcee from the ATL who's coming up.

Thank Us Later

Drakes first ever Studio Album entitled "Thank Me Later" dropped last month. As many of our readers know we introduced Drake to you about 2 years ago when we first started, letting you know, he'd be the next big star.. Well Thank us now or Thank us later because we were right.




But, as well stated in "Hip Hop Wired" 's review of the album, Drakes new album isn't meant for the hardcore rap fan. This album is more so an R&B album than it is a Rap album. And rightly so; Drake essentially took his life story, added his Ill flow, and up staged Kanye's use of real music in 808's to provided us with 14 incredible tracks.

But don't get me wrong I'm a huge Kanye fan; in fact Kanye produced one of my fav tracks on the album.

Show Me A Good Time


This album is a must have, Drake bought back the true feelings of a Rap/R&B album, reminiscent of Outkast.

NEW MUSIC!!!

Okay okay, so as the last post stated, one of my fav, Hip Hop groups J5 is dead..... no surprise, the mainstream media hates real talent being in the spotlight and radio play....

But, on a another note, I have beomce fond a new electro band called Kill Paradise. Lately i've been digging into my techno/drum and bass/electro roots. Always being a fan of that style of music, i decided to find some talent yet to hit the big scene....

I found a guy called Casio Disco and i liked him, but he leaves some to be desired......... on his myspace friends list, I found DJ Pickee, now DJ pickee was good, he mostly remixed other songs, but his work was good. In one of his songs which quickly became my fav. was a group called Kill Paradise...... I found them on his myspace friends list, and instanly fell in love.....

This is what the electro club scene has been needing. Hope you all enjoy.

Here is currently my fav. song by them and my ringtone might I add. =(^_^)=

New track from Lupe

Okay, now first off, I gotta say Lupe's new mix tape "Follow the Leader" is Hot as Hell!

Secondly happy April 1st.

Thirdly I was on bboy.org, checking on a battle I'm a part of. And this dude post a new track from Weezy and Shady. Turned out to be a April fool's joke. =( I dislike Weezy, but he and Em on a track is worth a look see.

Then I looked at a list of recently released tracks on the left hand side of my page...... Lupe's name caught my eye. I'm like What?! Wyclef f. Lupe Fiasco - Fast Car (remix).............Word?! This shit is mad hot. Enjoy. Sorry No DL though. =(

Although they do come hard on this one......Lupe's verse is still my favorite. =)

Mercedes Gravity Car Yes Gravity Car haha

The Silbervogel Gravity Car concept, by Jakob Hirzel from the Pforzheim University Of Applied Sciences in Germany,this vehicle has no engine, but still wants to Evolve and become a real racing spectacle. The racer relies solely on, gravity to pick up speed. We're thinking the whole exempt engine thing is going to give the Gravity Car a little handicap in conventional races, but as a thing for show & tell you would win an award this is probably not safe to drive on the highway either haha goodlooks to gizmodo for the photos.

Artist of the Week: Blake Lewis

Okay, now i understand most people love American Idol, and at the same time most People hate AI. But every one remembers Blake Lewis from season six. He was the spikey haired, beat boxing, white boy, who made me look at the TV and say, "Where the hell did he learn that?!" Seriously dude was my Favorite off season six. And the only reason I actually watched it.

Now you probably wondering why he's my pick for artist of the week. Well I was watching a show about where the AI artists are now, on my TV guide channell, and realized he not only made a kicks ass "hip hop/pop" album; (I'm listening to it as I write this) But he also did a track with your favorite rapper's, favorite rapper, Lupe Fiasco. Yeah at first I said "No fucking Way!" but yes way.

His new album is called "Audio Day Dream. Here's just a little info on Blake himself.

Audio Day Dream begins with an intro titled "Silence Is Golden ..." and ends with the outro "... I Choose Noise." Together, it's the mantra Lewis lives by.

"I've always been attracted to noise, even as a kid," he says. "I was obsessed with 'Mork and Mindy' because Robin Williams did so many sound effects when he was talking. I even love an annoying racket, especially if there's something rhythmic about it. You can beat-box to a car alarm."

Blake got both his love for music and rebel instincts from his mother, who ran away from home at 15 to pursue a singing career. He got into hip-hop as a kid through Rob Base and Fresh Prince cassettes and moved into grunge in junior high before discovering electronic music through "The Saint" soundtrack (with Moby and Orbital).

After learning piano and saxophone, he eventually began doing musicals and singing in choirs and a cappella groups, where he honed his skills beat-boxing. When he auditioned for "Idol" on a whim (he had never seen the show) the judges insisted he showcase his human turntable skills. He complied, beat-boxing through Seal's "Crazy." But then Blake made a request. He wanted to also sing Maroon 5's "Sunday Morning," which hadn't been cleared by the publisher, so he boldly said, "Turn off the cameras and let me sing it anyway." And thankfully they did.

Found all this at, His official Website, www.blakelewisofficial.com

Here is a YouTube "video"; =/ Okay, "the picture of his album cover, while the song plays" of his track with Lupe. But go Grab the Album it's worth it, from the "car ride", or the "house cleaning day", to the "cuddle-ling with your baby" moments. haha

Eiffel Tower Looks Like A Space Ship Deck made of Kevlar

Next year marks the 120th anniversary of the Eiffel Tower. To celebrate, the French will be adding a spaced out webbed Kevlar observation deck to the top, doubling the size of the deck and making the Eiffel Tower look like some sort of alien space shuttle haha its pretty dope its not permanent jus temporaily like for show its a good sight to show the future and the old together in such an remarkable display of creativity.

The Nike Air Max "Running Man" Package

Nike connected with well respected artists Parra and Misha to assemble two pieces of the “Running Man Pack” - the Air Max 95 and Air Max 90. Parra, a legendary underground artist from Amsterdam, went to work with his signature colors on the Air Max 95 complete removeing Nike logos from the tongue and sole and instead replacing with his own unique artwork as you see there is no nike airmax logo at the top of shoe or the bottom even tho these kicks are still 1000% official, he jus added his artwork which makes these kicks even more rare to cop
Misha Hollenbach went to work on the Air Max 90 transforming the shoes with a more updated midsole, custom laces, and added his own austrian flava to it the color theme was mostly a tribute to his homeland.these kicks 1st droped in europe but then went thru a brief re-release and is now sold in the US they wont drop till 3-22 so image the rareity of these kicks they wont eva drop again courtesy to nicekicks and kix-files for the pics
