Hip Hop Horray...Hooooeeeeeeeeeee!!! @ the old school guest this year.

The date is CHOPPED. It is usually the first weekend in June(Memorial Day is the 27th so..that would leave June 1st as the open day..) though. FYI. I know that Governor's Ball is the 7th,8th,9th so.....

Stay tuned for confirmation. Used to be a one day event but the past couple have been two so.. We'll see. I will put the date up when I get it. Or you could always @ ?uestlove.

If you live in the Chi and you missed this, shame on you! Looked like a good time.

I've been kinda out of things lately so I HOPE that haven't missed the chance to see this in my area. If I have, I might have to GO OUT and see it somewhere else. This looked like quite the event. Dope music.

I mean it IS THE ROOTS AFTER ALL. They NEVER PUT ON A BAD SHOW. Ever..

I see you Jay!

Another joint I've been sitting with for a little bit. Very dope. Then again, it is Dice Raw so yeah...that is what I expected.

The reaction to @2Chainz being on Fallon with @theroots with Black Thought backing him up on my TL though..

August 21, 20122 Chainz, Black Thought, The Roots No comments

Apparently, some of you don't watch enough of FALLON 'cause Tariq OFTEN accompanies ALL TYPES OF MUSICAL GUESTS ON STAGE. Filling in for vocalists/other rappers parts. It is part of Riq's talent. You should catch them at a live show then. You can REALLY SEE MR. TROTTER get loose.

If you missed it go to Yardie's site..

So I'll post them up for those of you who don't follow them on Twitter or go to the site. Not sure WHY you don't frequent their site but that's on you. I went as a 'fan' this year. Not as someone covering it so not much footage from me. Had a really good time. Here are a 'few' blurry flicks (again...didn't bring the Canon so these are pretty raw...) and some video courtesy of Okayplayer...

Not MY FLICKS... Check the properties of the pics for credits.

You can read a very in depth review of the album here.. or

listen to it on live stream...

Support

Let me be clear. I need you to SUPPORT the artist whose music you see/hear in the music player here. Some of them are my FRIENDS!! I want them to make money. So while I may put up a link here or there that they didn't 'endorse', it is only out of the love for their music and the fact that I want you to SUPPORT THEM. So please do. Seek out their music. Some of them are VASTLY UNDERRATED and your FAVORITE MUSICIAN loves them. So it isn't 'talent'. It is exposure. Which is all I am trying to give them here.. SO SUPPORT THEM!!!

I post 'em up ON THE REG. I post 'em, pay the compliments I want to when necessary and leave it at that. Period. If you happen to be the 'man in the young lady's life', don't worry dawg, I don't want your woman. I'm good.

If the fact that I do post up women means that you don't 'respect' any serious topic I discuss then your 'Fuck You and your respect ' is in the link below...Go ahead and read it....I think that should about cover how I feel about what 'you think'..

http://thewarehous.blogspot.com/2011/01/shoot-messengermiss-entire-fuck-outta.html

As for the 'woman' who are afraid of being 'exploited' by a site like the one I run here..Or who feel like I 'stole' your pics or something along those lines.. I have addressed you as well...

http://thewarehous.blogspot.com/2011/07/so-i-guess-i-have-to-be-bad-guy-it-isnt.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A%20blogspot%2FrDZx%20%28The%20WareHouse%29

I do occasionally interview folks so browse around. I don't call them interviews though. I call 'em 'Chats' 'cause that is usually what is like. Not claiming to be some CNN reporter over here. Just asking questions that many of us want answers to and some questions that some of you don't THINK TO ASK OR THINK CERTAIN FOLKS ARE GOING THROUGH/THINKING ABOUT/DOING. I like to dig deep so if you agree to an interview, be prepared. I might ask you anything. I probably will stay away from the majority of the 'standard' questions though. Just bare that in mind. Again..the site's official email is thewarehouseblogspot@gmail.com if you would like to be interviewed. Hit me up.

The popular posts usually contain enough POSITIVE examples of how this works great for both THE BLOG and the subjects of the posts. Usually, those post are a DIRECT RESULT of support from the young lady via a posting on THEIR OWN TWITTER, blog or Facebook. So thank you for that IN ADVANCE (and if you have done so in the past..) for that mutual support. It is appreciated. Truly.

Oh and one more thing...

I DON'T WATER MARK PICTURES THAT I DIDN'T EITHER TAKE OR WERE NOT ORIGINALLY GIVEN TO ME. I have seen folks RUSH TO DO IT and it is pretty damm sad. Not my style. I am not a fool. I know that most of what I do in regards to pictures can be replicated so there is no need to act like I'm out here doing more than what it is. I provide a space to see a collection of pictures in that regard. Nothing more. Nothing less. Watermarking pictures that aren't 'mine per say kinda comes off a little pompous to me. That's just me though..

I want you to be able to tell when I do TAKE THE PICTURE without me saying as much. What do I look like watermarking your pictures up if I didn't 'take them'?

You see the watermark on a picture here with the blog's name in it? Then you know I took the picture in some fashion. Screen shot. With the camera phone. With the Canon or the web cam. Or it was given to me for exclusive use. (At least at press time)
