I Heart My Polo Lifestyle

Toyota “I Wish” Commercial

I remember back in the day I used to clown this song & anybody who said they liked it (though I couldn’t really find anyone who SAID they did).

We were ALL lying to ourselves & each other as this song was actually pretty dope & most definitely holds it’s place in nostalgic Hip Hop history.

Shout Out: Skee-Lo. You made a true classic.

Reblogged from Von Pea (dot)com.:

Yessur...the black tees are back. if you want one you can get it here for $20. It includes the "Gatekeepers" joint we recorded for Mick Boogie, the instrumental (which is mostly just a sample until the hook comes in lol) and it also includes a thumbs up from the both of us that you'll be able to sense from the universe once you hit "add to cart".

88-Keys & Travie McCoy Caving The Roof In At Ace’s In Austin, TX

Here’s a beat I made a couple of years ago which I never finished. I made this to pitch to Travie McCoy when he was working on Lazarus I believe. Again… This is unfinished material; a beat I literally cooked up in a few minutes, but could YOU hear Travie on this? Let me know. Post your comments below & share with your friends… & enemies too. Fuck it!

Shout Out: To m’man Travie McCoy yo we have to get up. I glanced at your Twitter profile & it seems like you moved (back) out here to The Rotten Apple. Holla!

R. Thentic – The Manhattan College Dorm Years (Beat Tape)

88-Keys — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 14:06:36 +0000

One of my close friends, R. Thentic, just released some beats he made back in the day. He’s dope AND he’s a fellow ‘Lo Head. Oh & you have to appreciate a friend who doesn’t tweet about me bringing him along with me to Kanye‘s crib. Yeah… R. Thentic is a low key kind of dude… & a chameleon.

It took me a few minutes to figure out what the Hell this guy was talmbout but, with the help of a lil’ thing called a “search engine” (which most kids don’t know how to use these days apparently since they’re still asking me “have you done anything since that ‘Viagra’ song you did with Kanye?”) #FacePalm Needless to say I found my answer.

Shout Out:

Citizen Cane (aka Sean C.) for bringing me aboard & allowing me to truly make a difference.

Actually… I think I’ll shout the rest of the people on my list out once I get that clearance to. Check back here for the update. #SwornToSecrecy

Aight… Peace!
