music appreciation

happy monday y'all!

how was the weekend?  the weather was absolutely gorgeous here at the bay.  after working an early event for the ucla v. cal (go bears!) game on saturday, i headed to the city with my girl jenn for the world scs strikers 4 "female fury", an all female fighter muay thai event.  (ok, i'm all for female power and i love my fellow female muay thai fighers, but female fury??!  ugh!  that's just an awful name for the event.)  there were about 12 fights total, including 4 championship fights.  it was a long night but the main event jenna castillo definitely delivered and did not disappoint the crowd.  big props to all the fighters of the evening!

on to music appreication....

okay, first off, what the hell is mayweather doing in luda's undisputed?  the song is alright, but the video is straight g-a-r-b-a-g-e!

q-tip's new album the renaissance is dropping on november 4.  i've never been a die-hard tribe or q-tip fan, but i do have to admit that i've missed his music, so i'm excited!

during mos def's free concert at the defremery park (aka "bobby hutton park" in memory of the slain youngest member of the blank panther party), he had a political message about the upcoming election: regardless of who would end up being our next president, we should be responsible for our own lives and actions and stop looking at others to better our lives.  i happen to completely agree with his point and think too often, we shift the blame to someone else rather than being crticial of our actions and own up to our mistakes.  

speaking of politics and such, i'm ending this post with a link to dead prez's new track politricKKKs.  enjoy!
