Kicking off our new Mixtape Mondays theme is hip-hop’s rising star Wale and his mixtape entitled The Mixtape About Nothing. Wale (pronouced as WAH-lay) is a Washington, D.C. based hip-hop genious who has been compared to such hip-hop greats as Lil’ Wayne and Lupe Fiasco. On The Mixtape About Nothing, Wale samples clips from the sitcom Seinfeld extensively. Track number 6, The Kramer, samples the now infamous Michael Richards Laugh Factory outburst, in which he repeatedly addressed a group of hecklers as “niggers”. Track 8, The Vacation from Ourselves, features Julia Louis-Dreyfus (aka Elaine) saying, [read more…]
Tagging buildings is so last year. Pick up your game by tagging an entire subway train car. This adds a wholenew set of challenges – you have to complete the piece before the train rolls away, and you have to watch out for subway security and police, among other things.

Who else can embody toy soldiers, cannibals, and sexual P.E. nerds so well? In their final performance on the show, they impersonated the judges and did an amazing remake of flash dance. [read more…]
Okay…so the past 10 days have been extremely frustratingannoyinghorrible interesting. Jetcomx was basically Stumbled and Digged to death. Once we made the front page of digg for the second time, there was no hope for the server. I wouldn’t be surprised if it caught fire and/or exploded in the datacenter.
