~Classic Rap Moments~ The Beastie Boys,Not Cheech & Chong!

While house cleaning yesterday, i deemed my fave mc jeru tha damaja, too vulgar for my wifes ears...too many references to bitch and hoes...but, instead I dug out the license to ill album and suddenly relived bein 11 all over..."hold it now .....Hit it!'''

Presenting the Beastie Boys:License To Ill

When I was a kid, I used to watch Soul Train after American Bandstand every Saturday from 10a-12p...






..Back before we had cable (basic) we all in my hood thought the beastie boys were black...
It wasnt until I bought an issue of Cracked magazine that I realized for the first time that they were white...
I was intially bothered by Mike D's persona ( which I always thought was a form of cruel mimicry, starting but not limited to his wearing a vw hood ornament, when all the kids at the time were stealin ornaments from much more expensive cars)...namely Cadillacs, and Bmws...lol

Ive since gotten over that, And the beasties have solidified there spot as truly classic hip hoppers...and well deserving.




this is a rare movie suposedly from 1983 of a punk performance at a NY High school...

Dream Wish List Item 1:Herrlicht Eyeglasses

I dont normally gush over extravagances, but there are a few things that make me swoon...this is one of those things...Introducing Herrlicht

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us



HERRLICHT is the registered trademark of the furniture designer Andreas Licht.

It was when he began wearing glasses himself that he started to craft spectacle frames from wood.

Since then, he has designed an attractive collection of unique frames.

HERRLICHT eyeglasses are crafted entirely from either maple or cherry-wood. No metal or plastic parts for hinges, screws or reinforcements are used in the design. The frames are made out of wood 100% and amazingly light. The special treatment and construction process makes HERRLICHT eyeglasses extraordinarily flexible and therefore suitable for everyday use. Select woods, with their varying colours and surface structures, imbue each pair of glasses with its own character. No two frames are alike – every one has its own story to tell, much like the rings of a tree.

As such, HERRLICHT wood frames underscore the individuality of the wearer.


Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

With a love of experimentation, Andreas Licht is constantly exploring the possibilities of the material. The hinges, which are also made exclusively from wood and whose novel design ispire amazement and fascination, are continually being further developed. And new forms and details are always emerging, for exemple fine inlays of antique ebony (Diospyrus ebenum) and maple (Acer pseudoplantus) on the elegantly curving arms.

You can choose from nine different shapes and five types of wood for each of them right now.


...Ever since Ive seen these, I cant stop thinking about them
