M.I.A. Hajwalah
02.04.2012 | by Dylan | 2 Comments
About a year ago we caught wind of a ridiculous trend called “Hajwalah” or “Tafheet” in which rich Saudi kids drift stock Camrys and BMWs among traffic on the desert highways. Roman Gavras must have too and he ran with the idea, creating a commentary on feminism and middle eastern youth culture for M.I.A.’s “Bad Girls”
Watch some very real, very crazy Saudi drifting from 2011 below. Read more

Soul Cal
01.23.2012 | by Dylan | Comment

Over a year ago we sat down with Real J. Wallace and BAM CIRCA 86, at Pokéz to discuss Brother Nature‘s Fresh Squeezed Lemonade mix tape. Since then they’ve continued to put in work and put out some seriously authentic tracks. I’m not a music critic, let alone a hip-hop critic but I know good when hear it and Real is still at it. In correspondence with his latest digital release, “The J∆hFather of So(u)l Cal,” Real J. Wallace explains, in the short film below, the music’s correlation with the Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway (or ‘the 94′ as most San Diegan’s know it by).
Real’s laid back lyrical grooves combined with early 70′s breakbeats create a really unique, positive vibe that defines the ‘Soul Cal’ sound.
Listen up. Read more

For they are the ones, who do the research.
To make the mud, to build the tool, to run in the well,
to make the test, to log the zone, to set the packer,
cement the pipe, and fire the gun.
To perforate, to pump the gel that carries the sand,
that props the frac, completes the well to produce the crude,
that runs the world for all the people all over the earth who live in the house that oil built.

I Am America, I Am A Pick-up Truck

Obviously Krista Branch’s Tea Party anthem “I Am America” owes some credit to Das Racist. Sarcasm aside, if the Tea Party made “Ek Shaneesh” their 2012 anthem… I might vote for them?
…It’s like Rebecca Black for adults.

Henry Rollins On Youth Resistance

“You are the government. By the people for the people. If the government sucks, you suck. Deal with that.”
Henry Rollins is rad, and that’s probably why RadCollector.com interviewed him. The interview is pretty much right up our alley, I felt obligated to share. Read the whole interview Here
