Carnivores vs. Vegans

Where’s the support group for friends of vegans (or just old fashioned vegetarians) who have to deal with the hassle of their dietary needs, inability to eat anywhere and overall food snobbishness?

Eminem “3 AM” (Travis Barker Remix) (VIDEO)

Has anyone else noticed that every time Travis Barker does one of these remixes he makes the track sound much better than the original cut? Why aren’t more hip-hop artists bringing him in as a studio musician?

I know The Game brought him in to make the “Dope Boyz” track, which was one of last year’s best records. Maybe there’s more out there I don’t know about, but I still think we need more Travis Barker in the hip-hop game.

Regardless, I’m always impressed with these joints that Barker does and think he’s definitely one of the most talented musicians in the business.

Thank you Mr.James!!!

New Questlove & De La Soul Prints

I’m loving these new prints that just got delivered to the office so much I had to post them up. They’re some old show posters from a DJ set Qool Quest did in San Diego (or is it Whale’s Vagina?) and a De La Soul show in Aspen.

I tried to snap a picture, but have too much light coming in, so I just grabbed some screenshots instead.

The artist’s name is Scrojo, who I’m hoping to work with next time I need a dope show flyer.

Olympic great Michael Phelps acknowledged “regrettable” behavior and “bad judgment” after a photo in a British newspaper Sunday showed him inhaling from a marijuana pipe.

In a statement to The Associated Press, the swimmer who won a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Games did not dispute the authenticity of the exclusive picture published Sunday by the tabloid News of the World.

“I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment,” Phelps said in the statement released by one of his agents. “I’m 23 years old and despite the successes I’ve had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.”
