Been using my camera lately & messing with
settings I usually don't touch. Not ready to
post anything up but I did try to give an effect
like I had a lightbox, took me a couple shots but
I finally picked one. Lookin' legit?

&

Degree & me have been writing some new shit,
not gonna release too much info yet but Anti-Everything
is coming soon. Gonna make a sick cover for that shit
& release it on the blog, good shit comin' up better
believe that.

Clean Cut.

2010-03-16T13:22:00.000-07:00

I was getting sick of that damn Matrix
background and a make-over was long overdue
for the blog no homo. I think Coke&Cane. looks
cleaner than Coke-N-Cane. Just testing it out
to see what I like better, my homegirl Tiffany
gave me the idea. I haven't been consistently
posting which I'm really sorry for. Been extra
busy between school & chillin' on weekends &
just normal shit all around. Kicked it with
some hilarious white kids last Saturday, tons
of priceless moments but them dancing in the
middle of a crowd was fuckin' hilarious.

Probably gonna have a photoshoot this week
after school or something. Downtown Clermont
probably, like the look of the streets there
& the scenery.
______________________________________________

On another note!

Been feelin' motivated to make that shit we
call the root of all evil. Destined to have
a pocket full of sin soon nahh mean? Prob.
gonna sell off some sneakers soon. I'ma
let y'all get another Timeless joint
just for reading if you do. Brian SB & Degree
on the track spittin' that real shit for y'all
that want some HEAT.

Today March 9th marks the 13th year anniversary of Big's death. I havent seen any tributes 2him on any other sites. I woke up blastin Ready to Die and now im listenin 2 Life After Death. Its only Right....
Here's a lil somethin

"your ready to die/ tell god i said hi/ now throw down some ice for the nicest Mc niggas know the steelo, unbelievable"

"damn what happened to the summertime cookouts/ everytime i turn around a nigga get took out/ shit my mommma got cancer in her breast/ dont ask me why im mothafuckin stressed/ Things done changed!"

"Apoligies in order/ to T'Yanna my daughter/ If it was up to me you would be with me sorta like Daddy Dearest/ my vision be the clearest/ Silencers so you can't hear it
Competition still fear it/ shit don't ask me/ I went from ashy to nasty to classy"

"Motherfuckers mad cuz I blew niggas envious/ Too many niggas on my dick shit's strenuous/ When my men bust you just move wit such stamina/ Slugs missed you
I ain't mad at you (we ain't mad at you)/ Blood rushin concussions ain't nothin/ Catch cases come out frontin/ Smoking somethin / Sippin White Russians bitch in the Benz bumpin/ I laced it wit the basic/ 6 TV's a system knocking Mase shit/ face it
We hard to hit/ Guard your shit/ for I stick you for your re-up/ Wipe the P up/ Mix shots work your seat up/ Go in the ashtray spark the weed up
LONG KISS"

And to end it on a good note,

Hi Haters...

2010-03-07T16:23:00.000-08:00

I'm back from hiatus.

Sorry I haven't been posting consistently but
a lot of shit's been going down, in a good way!
Saw Alice in wonderland 3D, & Avatar 3D this
weekend. That's definitely gonna win an assload
of awards tonight since it's seriously an incredible
movie. A $12 well spent. Wish I saw it in iMax though.
&
As for Alice in wonderland...Not even a trip on acid
would make that weird shit any good. smh.

I have the SAT's next weekend, that's gonna suck.

&

I always have FML moments throughout my weeks, this
week my phone fell on the floor, restarted, & deleted
30 verses I had written. That shit coulda been a whole
mixtape. SMH. Time to start from square 1. FML.

On the bright side my grades're good.
&
on the flip side my parents won't allow me to get
my license, so it was a whole year of pointless
driving & honestly there's no point to doing
good in school & shit if I'm not gonna get something
that's necessary. I need a damn job & without a car
there's no way.
&
I flipped some Grape 5s for $160. Here's pics of em,
if you're a size 10 you slept hard. Easily worth $200.

I need some in a size 9 now.

Oh yeah, Amanda said I looked
"UHH-MAAY-SING" on Friday.

The Good Ol' Days.

2010-03-03T18:08:00.000-08:00

I was looking through some boxes under my desk &
found this picture. Psshhh, this polaroid was taken
like summer 06 or 07 I believe, 1 of my first times
getting wasted! hahaha. It was at some HUGE concert
full of Spanish rap, rock, & alternative music sponsored
by 1 of the most popular radio stations. My uncle
was performing so I got to go backstage & drink free
beers in his trailer, I was like shit when's the next
time life's gonna be this good?! So I took advantage
of the free beverages & concert, I went crazy that night.
I look so damn young in this picture sheesh. I met Residente
Calle 13 that night to, I had a pic with him but I couldn't
find it. Oh well fuck it, this one is Timeless.
Chillin' with family is always the shit to me.

Anyone remember their first time getting drunk off your ass?
I forgot all about that day until I dug up this pic haha.
Pz & love y'all.

A Day in THE LIFE...

2010-02-26T22:42:00.000-08:00

Today started off feeling like a Thursday, we lived it
like a Saturday & now I'm home exhausted like it's Sunday.
I swear we did so much shit today. This is how the adventure
began (as usual on Fridays.)

Kicked it all day & went to McDonalds early, laughed our asses
off & made jokes ridiculously loud. Decided we'd go to downtown
Disney tonight so we ended up here after pickin' up John.

We walked around & I luckily got to catch George Washington,
his bitch, and some random dude performing some DOPE tracks.

It was freezing balls outside so I decided to cop
some hot cocoa w/ whipcream & marshmellows & all
that good shit that warms you up!

She wishes.

Hit up McDonalds...AGAIN. smh, it's like a guaranteed
heart attack for our asses.

We stopped by LEGOland! Started out just playin' with
the bricks.

Charli was makin' some shit...

Then I created this being the bad influence I am...

[Peep the tail on tht shit!]

We abducted this hilarious motherfucker from his
group & shit, my nigga Drew ditched Chris & some
chick for our mufuckin' clan. At 11:30pm we said
fuck Disney, it's time for IHOP!
This dude has hilarious stories/experiences.

Just Chillennn'!

Dippin' up out that bitch.

Gangsta Grillzzz, tuh-tuh-tuh grillz!

The pictures help tell the story, it's 2am, I'm exhausted.

Fun day/night. Maybe a party tomorrow night idk yet.
Pz y'all.

-Brian SB.

I Need a Beard.

2010-02-25T12:59:00.000-08:00

I wish I could grow some facial hair, my shit
never grows though so my face is always on that
baby status. This is just an example of what a
person with a beard can do. Never underestimate
the powers of the beard, the RESPECT.

Epic Beard Man in action!

(turn the volume all the way up & if you still can't hear it then here's a dialogue.)

Black man: AC Transit
White man: Lets get back to business. How much you charge me for a spit-shine?
Black man: what?
White man: How much you charge me for my Stacy Adams? Im going to a funeral on FridayYou said you [note: Stacy Adams are a brand of shoe.]
Black man: Did you get what I said just now?
White man: Yes
Black man: Whyd a brother gotta spit-shine your shoes?
White man: You offered!
Black man: I didnt offer you shit.
White man: Whatd you just say when you walked by me?
Black man: I said why, why a fuckin brother gotta spit-shine your shoes?
White man: You dont have to!
Black man: Why a white man cant spit-shine
White man: [interrupting] It could be a Chinaman! It dont matter!
Black man: Look dude
White man: I aint prejudice! What? You think Im prejudice!
Black man: [pointing toward front of bus] Take your ass back up there and get the fuck out my face right now.
White man: Why you being so hostile, man?
Black man: Cause. Im pissed off.
White man: Well its better to be pissed off than pissed on.
Black man: Take your ass up there right now
White man: [standing to go to the front] You aint scarin this white boy. Im 67 years old. You aint scarin me. You aint scarin me.
Black man: [now, also standing] Im 50.
White man: You aint scared of me. You aint scarin me.
Black man: Ill put my foot up your ass.
Older white man: No you wont! No you wont!
White man: You wont do nothin to me! [then something unintelligible]
Black man: Say it again! [then something unintelligible as woman who was filming talks over him]
Iyanna Washington: Say it again! Say it again, Pinky!
Someone off camera whom many allege is Iyanna Washington: Beat his white ass! Whoop his ass!
Another passenger: Leave him alone!
Iyanna Washington: It aint worth it, blood, it aint worth it.
Black man: Id put my foot up your ass.
White man: I see tough guys like you and I slap the shit out of them.
Black man: What?!
Another passenger: Stop it!
White man: Dont fuck with me! He hit me! He fuckin hit me!
White man: He fuckin hit me first! He hit me in the face! [unintelligible] self defense!
Iyanna: Open that shit! laughs
Iyanna: We can press charges, blood. I got in on videotape. Hes leakin.
Black man: That motherfucker hit me. No no no no no.
Another passenger: Did he break your teeth?
Black man: No. Bring an ambulance.

That dude got his shit FUCKED by epic beard man!
& then those bitches stole his groceries! SMH. Not
being raceist but c'mon, seriously?

An interview afterwards:

Skip to about :55 & watch him get tazed at a oakland A's game.

EBM got tazed like 4 times & is STILL being belligerent.
Talk about a motherfuckin' certified boss! Vietnam Tom.
This dude is my hero, we need more people like him in the world.

A street interview!

Best Quotes:

"we were going to Frisco to get some weed..for our arthritis!" [0:25]

"Tell that motherfucker I'll give him 7 chances & I'll wait another
20 years & still whip his ass when I'm 103!" [3:20] (Toms is only 67.)

"that's how we got to be friends, i beat his ass, tried to
steal my cocaine!" [5:20]

"YOU WILL GET YOUR ASSSS KICKED!!!" [7:50]

I'd reccomend skipping to the times I put after the
best quotes, unless you have time to watch the whole
thing. This is gold, funniest REAL video I've seen in
a long time.

-Brian SB.

It's Goin Downnnn!

2010-02-23T16:46:00.000-08:00

The Timeless crew is finally going to be
reunited for the first time in 2010. Big
shit poppin' spring break. Chillin' vid,
performance, etc; Honestly we're just gonna
live that life you bitches wish your boy-
friend's did. Tsk tsk. We da rockstars you
CAN'T drink, just the ones you can swallow.

The mufuckin' countdown til the Timeless Take-Over!

-Brian SB.

All I Need Is 1 Mic.

2010-02-21T17:23:00.000-08:00

& some beats. I've been writing a lot of shit
lately. I'm just in the mood to make some music.
I think I might purchase a microphone soon, not
having a studio kills me. Spittin' i a form of
venting/telling stories from how I see it. Instead
of a pair of $150+ sneakers I can invest in a mic.
I mean I only have 2 feet, I don't need 20 pairs of
sneakers. Hm...decisions decisions. Making my room
into a studio would be dope as hell, but im moving
out in 2 years. Ehh. I might just make an attempt
at learning about the best programs & shit. I wanna
get rid of all my furniture anyway. This will be
continued in another post once my vision develops.

-Brian SB.

I Am So Random, Girls Think That's Handsome.

2010-02-20T15:00:00.000-08:00

So lately I've been out all day & catching up
with old friends/making new ones. Yesterday I
was at home for like 10 minutes, chilled w/a friend.
Went back home, 5 minutes later got scooped up &
didn't get home til 11ish fuckin' exhausted. Went
to the bowling ally but we didn't even bowl. smh.
Out of the 20 people in the group 5 bowled. lmao.

I copped my prom ticket today. After that I chilled
at planet smoothie/quiznos with Nicole. I had a large
sub, I'm definitely gonna have the shits tonight.

I burp abnormally loud.

She liked this one.

She can put her thumb behind her hand
in some fuckin' creepy way.

We walked into a store & I saw this
ridiculous shirt. If you'd wear this
go kill yourself. SMH.

Random, but she reads me awkward articles from
magazines in a British accent. Next time I get
the chance I'll make a video & post it up.

We stopped by Leeann's cribo to drop a camera
of hers we've had for months. lmao. She kept
saying she looked bad, I took pics to piss her
off. ♥

She has a parrot! I want a chameleon or some
cool pet that not many people have. I'm just
too busy to clean up their shit.

Now I'm about to go see some randomass family I've
never met, going to dinner & Orlando.

Peace.

Numbah One.

2010-02-16T15:53:00.000-08:00

So I came home to a tee I'd bought recently on
solecollector, it's a Supreme Damien Hirst Box Logo
tee. I love the polka-dot design on it:

&
little did I know there was a message on the back.
A quote from 1 of my favorite songs...

That's kinda hardcore to be walking around with on
your back, but I think it's dope as hell.

In Other News!

I finished designing danNY's mixtape cover.
If you remember when I released his track
"I'm Dope" you might recall the 2 pictures
I chose to make the cover with. If you don't
it's okay because you can see the old post HERE!

I Can See Clearly Now...

2010-02-15T15:21:00.000-08:00

For most of you that know me I'm a blind fuck.
People joke that it's my chinck eyes. I'm not
even asian you bastards. lmao. After months of
putting it off I finally decided to get some
glasses today. Best choice I've made in a while!
I've never seen the world so clearly in my life.
I swear on the ride home I stared at everything
as it passed by, palm trees, grass, signs, old
people jogging, EVERYTHING! I got some classic
Black, Ray Ban, Wayfarers. My mom says they
look ridiculously big on my face but I think
they're cool, not excited for doing school work
tomorrow but for once I won't have to copy notes
from someone else since I can't see the board.

I can't believe how vivid things look to me now.
The world is so detailed, shit used to be almost
2-D to me. I'd been missing out.

& as a bonus, today's fit.

SBTG!!!

Give Em What They Want.

2010-02-14T13:30:00.000-08:00

Today is valentines day, & everyone is always
worrying about what to get their girlfriend.
I'm constructing a simple guide on what people
REALLY want.

Women want roses.

This bullshit.

(I wonder how long "a long way!" really is.)

Cards.

Teddy Bears.

(MJ needs love to...)
&
Love. No real pictures I can think of
for that sorry.

Now guys.....we want 2 things.
Need I say it?

(If you don't get it, go kill yo self.)

Happy Valentines day y'all.

-Brian SB.

Reflect.

2010-02-12T20:04:00.000-08:00

You ever had someone ask you 1 of those questions
that makes you think about what's really important
in life? Something that usually makes you realize
life isn't all about material things?

If you had 5 seconds to get out of your house
before the entire thing burned down what would
you take with you?

5 seconds isn't shit, the only thing I could really
take with me is the clothes on my back & all the
knowledge I have. Maybe my ipod/camera if I was
near it but besides that all the other shit I have
wouldn't really mean much. I'd rather be alive with
nothing than die with riches. Because everything we
use in modern day society isn't necessary. Phones,
Computers, Video Games, etc; all those things are
luxuries. Humans survived with nothing but food &
water at 1 point. Reflect...

Brain Tsunami.

2010-02-11T18:07:00.000-08:00

Every once in a while I get into a
mode where I want to do creative things,
the blog gets a good amount of hits a day
& I was thinking maybe I could slowly but
surely build a brand & adopt the blog's
name into it. Coke-N-Cane. I have ideas
for about 3 tees so far, a motto/slogan
or 2, & I'm still thinking about a logo.
I have some friends that support me & know
I have some sick ideas & they'd cop shit.
So don't be surprised if eventually I start
making moves with that & begin to somehow
sell em through here/solecollector. It'll
probably be launched much later in the year,
after summer. I usually have inspiration
in Puerto Rico there thanks to influential
family & the environment. Everything from
kryp to coconuts to crime to cunts. Y'all
know, the basic shit everyone sees. Only
I view it from a different perspective than
most.

I'm going to Puerto Rico for spring break,
I will have a SHITLOAD of pictures & stories
to tell, can't wait for that. This being said,
just sharing some thoughts. Y'all will be up
to date with what's running through my head.

Speaking of running........

Peace.

So as you probably noticed I made the blog a background.
I'm working on banners and other shit as well, i know the
background isn't perfect but i'll continue to make adjustments
and tweak it here & there. If anyone can help with the dimensions
or maybe on how to make it a still image & not have to repeat?

Well, we Matrix'in in this bitch!
I made it from scratch, appreciate it bitches.

In honor of the background...

Catch T @ 1:49!

Much love.

-Brian SB

And I'm...

2010-02-09T18:29:00.000-08:00

still doin' thissss!

Taking me a while to post cuz we got a new router
that keeps getting fucked with. Smh.

Shoutout to T, I love you. ♥

I figure it's time to drop a blogsclusive
track as we usually do! Ya know ya boy Degree
is doin' the damn thang in & out the studio.
Fuck you if you're not a fan, this shit'll
convert you bastards after a listen.
Off of F.E.A.R.

Degree - And I'm

Probably the last track I leak off of fear.
Y'all should be satisfied w/ this & Self Medicated.

Listen/Download the track.

Onto the next one!

-Brian SB

if you own T&P make some noise.....

2010-02-09T00:00:00.000-08:00

......*crickets chirpin*.......
I don't own any T&P but i know it pretty well... Peep da facts,

I shave for T&P
I act like im goin 2 da bathroom when im out 2 get a better look at distant T&P
T&P has been in style since the Stone Age
When i 1st heard P burp it scared da shit outta me but i later realized dats a good thing.
I prefer P wit a bald eagle or mohawk look opposed 2 a afro.
1 time i got so much T&P i went in2 a coma.

and 4 u rookies out there always test da T&P b4 u just dive in.....

he dunno bout T&P like me ->

T&P goes hand in hand like this ->

and im out........

-Degree

Down With That T&P?

2010-02-08T16:48:00.000-08:00

YEAH YOU KNOW ME!

For those of you that don't know...
T&P makes the world go round! This
is a post dedicated to 2 of my fav.
things, I'm not going to blatantly
state what they are, but I'm going
to make some suggestive themes and
hopefully you can guess what these
letters stand for.

I love it when I catch T&P running.
I don't trust bumps on T&P either.
I hate when T&P give me a sad look.
I've wasted tons of money leasing T&P in my lifetime.
If you haven't had a bit of T&P you start to go blind.
If you happen to have T&P you can mooch off of your friends.
T&P will get you into Hollywood if you know the right people.
T&P always need to compliment each other before they go out.
I hate P that talks back when you're abusing it.
I put T&P over tons of shit I shouldn't.

This post will be continued, probably a daily thought
at the bottom of any of my posts w/ a pic so the slow
ones can find out what it is.

In other news, I copped some dope SBTG's today.
I wouldn't put T&P over these bad boys.

AMBITIONZ AZ A RIDAH

2010-02-08T01:58:00.000-08:00

So much 2 do so little time...I love this blog shit but hardly have time 2 post. If u been followin u prolly notice Brian posts 3X more (make a backround bitch) and a few of my posts hav been half-assed. I start em wit : "i been meanin 2 post" or "i had 20 ideas". Sadly i neva actually do it. So what ima do rite quick is do some mini posts......

1. NO PROMO- As half owner of this shit ima do myself a favor. From now on im not postin any well known rappers shit. This my blog ima post my music and my niggas music and dats it. Take it or leave it! ill prolly post a lil somethin from lesser-known artists i like such as : The Illz, Freddie Gibbs & Pill (google is ur friend). But 4 da most part im postin my own shit. If u rap, sing or have anything u want da world 2 see holla @ me. Im lookin 4 beats too. Da Blog gets 150+ views a day so why not? email me @ degrees09@yahoo.com or hit me on twitter @degreednttweet and ill try n help . Why promote these millionaires who could give 2 shits bout us? i wana help myself, my niggas and my niggas' niggas...

2. PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS- Another thing, freedom of speech is a bich! I dont bite my tongue, i put my heart & soul in2 everything i say/write (even when drunk). But sometimes i dont use my brain. It is what it is, i think its a blessin. Sum ppl can speak their mind but not from their heart im jus the opposite. I think i got carried away wit my RT 3.0 post just bcuz ppl dont look at at dat topic seriously but i dont regret it. I did so much in my life i regret and i've done shit i didnt even think i was capable of doin. Basically im sayin my past just overcomes da person im tryin 2 be sometimes so i might come across as bitter n shit. Tryin 2 change is hard but not impossible.

3. FUTURE POSTS- Like i said i gotta alot of funny and interestin shit i wanna share.
Here's some ideas :
-MY JOB- a post bout my job showin all da fuckery i see and all da trouble i get into
-FUNNY HOW TIME FLIES- i wanna do this post dats a timeline on how shit has changed in my life. Idk tho id have 2 backtrack alot. February 2008 changed my life and it jus stays in my head......
-21- Still not done wit my top 21 albums but i do have a draft of my top 21 movies and girls (4 u perverts ha)
-TXT OF DA DAY- Me & Sb txt like 50 times a day. We always say we should post our convos on da blog 4 comedy. WE'LL WAIT & SEE WHAT DA T&P Says
-5,000- when we hit 5,000 views we got somethin special 4 ya so keep checkin us!!

.........Thanks 4 readin ya...Writin helps me deal wit all da shit this world throws at me and i appreciate ppl comin 2 my/our site...Hope ya Feel Me....

I don't really care for the superbowl.

Who knew you could be so cynical
in a group full of positive people.
Not even crack a smile in a room full
of jokes. I'm not sure what's wrong,
I don't know what's right either.

Tonight this will be on repeat.

I Smell Like the Fuckin' Mall.

2010-02-06T16:53:00.000-08:00

I woke-up this morning & my mom asked if
I wanted to accompany her to the Florida Mall,
I figured I wasn't gonna do shit here so why not?
Took pics of shit I found cool or interesting.

First I walked into this little boutique.

This China trick was fine.

Saw TONS of awesome toys/models.

Giant Gundams.

Medium Gundams.

Little Gundams.

Little Chino was lookin' to.

More Than Meets the Eye!

Straight Outta Japan.

Back in the day DBZ was my shit!

Then there was some Kid Robot shit to.

Optimus Prime x Munny.

Tofu Heads.

An ENORMOUS Munny.

If Only it Was True...

I love collecting these zipper pulls.

Mine.

Munchiez!

After leaving there I strolled into
some big ass candy store with cool
shit I hadn't seen before.

I know we all loved The Legend of Zelda,

& hittin' bricks for coins with Mario.

The Root of ALL Evil.

Wonka in this bitch.

Some classic shit. Don't mix with soda...

After that I browsed around & found some cool shit.

An OLD Ice Cream skateboarding vid:

& a drinking hat!

Did you know Soda machines began
accepting credit cards?

I sure as hell didn't. Like seriously,
who goes around w/o even $1?!

Now this is what I'm talkin' about!

I copped some chinese to go even
though I ate it right there. They
ALWAYS give you way more when you
ask for it to go, my dad taught me.

I happened to walk into a photography
store to see if they had some external
flash packs & I found an amazing deal
on a battery grip! Dude told me that
the Nikon D40 was being discontinued so
anything specific for it was liquidated.
I got pretty lucky, it even came w/ 2
batteries included!

From $135 to $40. Can't hate on that.

Today was better than I expected.
Time to play some tunes, study,
shower, chill, etc;
Peace y'all.

-Brian SB.

P.S.
Sorry for the flood of pictures these last 2 posts.
& I noticed they get cut off on the sides kinda.
If you wanna see the whole thing just click it,
should take you to the image on flickr.

I'm Out in Left Field, I'm Speaking Mentally.

2010-02-05T19:33:00.000-08:00

So today I hung-out with 2 of my friends,
Charli & Simone. I don't think I've had
as much random fun in my life. We copped
chinese then hit up Ross because Simone
claimed there was Kid Robot duffles there
for $20. I doubted her so we went & sure
enough I was right & she was wrong. They
didn't have shit. lmao.

Came home to these babies & rocked em all day.

Then we went back to Bruce Lee kickin' it.
I'm glad I have friends like them, they bring
out the creativity in me, especially Charli.
Her room inspired me so much I think we're
gonna take some days out & make my plain boring
room somewhat exciting. (I'll def post pics!)

Well, I can type about my day but I believe
pictures are worth a thousand words. So
here you go, check out some of my favs today:

As soon as we got to Charli's we munched like
hungryass motherfuckers!

First we had cake...

Then we busted out some double-stuffed oreos...

Then after a lot of careful twisting I made
a triple-double-stuffed oreo. A SEXTUPLE STUFFED OREO!

(It was so Epic I had to show Simone while she was eating)

After raiding the kitchen I walked into
Charli's room for the first time in my life.
Just about all the artwork you see she made
herself. I never knew she was into all that
kinda stuff, it was dope as fuck for me to
be introduced into her little world. Only
pics can explain this amazing mess.

She's been working on this dresser for a long time.
Everything on it she cut & pasted herself from mags,
newspapers, anything really. She's sadly selling it
to a vintage store that offered $300+.

Here's just some random shots of
things I found interesting in the
room.

(The handprints are Charli & Simone's.)

More of Charli's art. The Hot Seat

I pulled out the chair to sit & was greeted by this.

Here's some pics we took throughout the day.

I think her Gages are awesome, I've
always wanted some.

She has another tat but I didn't get a good pic.

Me & Simone kickin' it.

SMH.

Tie that pig down.

Chillin' on tha flooooh.

Stunnin' Playboah!

That pretty much sums up my day.
Post comments & shit. Peace & Love.

-Brian SB.

Many of you that know me know I've been
wearing the same jeans just about EVERYDAY
for a loooong time. Approximately 11 months.
They're Dry Heavy Average Joe Nudies an old friend got
me as an early birthday present last year. Retail
at about $150+. After lots of wear my mom finally
decided to wash them while I wasn't home. I was
trying to wash at a year, but she claimed they
smelled dirty. Well I mean after 11 months of
ball juice what the fuck isn't gonna be dirty? I'm
exagerating, there wasn't ball juice, plus I sprayed
them w/ Febreeze every now & then. They were originally
a dark indigo blue w/ no wear & no tears.
For Example:

Here's what mine came out looking like after their
1st wash. I think they look great.

Check out the all around view of the back.

Wallet Fade & small tear between legs.

Teh Whiskaz!

1 of the many little tears on the inner legs.

My crotch bitches.

Contrast on the knees.

Some pics for fun!

High quality denim is really worth it
& I'd reccomend Nudies to anyone.
I'm considering buying some Petite Standard
A.P.C.'s next. But I have another brand new
pair of nudies I need to break in first.
I'm out dawgys.

This Recession' Is a Blessin'.

2010-02-01T16:20:00.000-08:00

Yeah, you heard me fools.
Everyone's always saying the economy sucks ass.
Oh yeah? I know that you pieces of shit, we all
do! But I've never gotten so many good deals on
shit in my life as I do now. I'm getting 3 pairs
of Bapes for $265, remember back in 2001-2005 when
they'd go for $2-$300 a pair?! I just got 3 for less
than the price of 1 back then. SUCK IT.

Plus, there's been more inspiration for music lately
in my opinion. For artist's to grind & shine. I can
actually re-call a song for you from The Clipse.

You can find me in the streets middle of a drought,
My matress is full, why shouldn't I be out?

& idk if you noticed at 2 seconds but Pharrell has
an iced out G-shock. Shit is insane! Here's another
1 of his many custom G-Shocks. (BAPE to):

As mentioned earlier I've bought some of the best shit
for some cheap prices lately, I got a G-Shock for $30 yesterday!
Retail on em is like $100 so that was a great price. Here's a pic:

[Sorry it's not as sick as Skateboard P's.]

So everyone stop pissin' & moaning & go find yourself
some good prices on shit. I seen houses sell for fractions
of what they were 5 years ago. We paid around $200,000 for a normal
size house & you can get them now for $100,000ish. I bought tickets
to Puerto Rico for $70 1 way & $100 the other way, take advantage
of the times we're in. Cop shit cheap now & flip it later.
I can go on & on, & I know people are gonna disagree, but
fuck it I look at the bright side of this shit.

Anyone ever get to the point where you
think there's no cure for your feelings
but your own medication methods?

Lately school, girls, & home life
have all had me stressed. (What teenager
isn't stressed by these things?)

I have a 250 word list to learn by tomorrow,
I know about 110 or so. We only had a week to
learn em so fuck that I'm not tryna bust my ass
studying, I want somewhat of a social life.

Which leads to the next topic, girls. Me &
my ex dated for 10 months. 10 months is a long
ass time to be committed to someone, & then
just break it off. It's not easy remembering
all the good times everytime I see her & trying
to kill old feelings. I don't exactly embrace them,
but I know I still want to be involved with her.
But idk lately it's just on some "I'll see you when
I want to" status. & it used to be "I always wanna chill."
Know what I mean? Eh, you don't have to know.
&
Homelife isn't really stressful, I just have a short temper
when it comes to a lot of shit & I miss my family in
Puerto Rico (I'm going for spring break atleast), my
cousins spread around the states, & especially fam in
New York, shout out to Andrew, Chinny, & Brandon. I
know they ocasionally peep the blog. I think it's cuz
I don't live with my father & he doesn't even have
a damn phone so I barely speak to him. & at home
it's just my mom & stepdad, if she says no to
something there's noone on my side. My real dad would
kinda side with me on shit & it wouldn't be so strict
around here.

In conclusion, all this shit builds up &
I just wanna relieve the stress & say fuck
it all. Going along with this post is 1 of my
favorite tracks from Degree of all time.

Self Medicated.

"Produced by Hannibal King off of Degree's new album.
F.E.A.R. [Fuck Everything & Rap]
Coming to a hood near you via E-Mail."

leave feedback & shit. I hate how ppl text me saying
the blog is dope, or hit me up on FB. LEAVE CMNTS HERE!

I'm out to shower & watch the Grammys.

2010-01-30T20:27:00.000-08:00

Today was straight, saw some fuckin'
chick flick with my homegirl. smh.
It's all good though we had fun & copped
some chick-fil-a after. I just remembered this(look at 30 seconds):

Then we ironically drank some lemonade. I stopped drinking coke recently,
not really a diet just doing it for fun. My old psychology teacher
told us if you drink alot of it then quit you can even suffer
from withdrawals. That shit is crazy, it's a drug & just about
everyone in the world uses it in drinks. Why isn't weed legal?
Caffeine is more addicting. I'll talk about solely that another day.

Btw, lately seems like everyone's been letting me down.
Shit, I'm letting me down. I went from all honors & an AP
class to 3 generals & 1 honors which I'll probably fail or
barely pass. Anatomy & Physiology. *sigh* Sorry if you felt
the post was boring tonight. I'm just extremely tired. I'll
brain tsunami(fuck a storm) tomorrow & come up with something
more interesting.

For now, this is the song I sing:

-Brian SB.

18 - 16 (Music)

2010-01-30T10:46:00.000-08:00

18 - 16 of my Pesonal Favorite albums all time, all time!

Boom :

18. The Marshall Mathers Lp - Eminem
Summary - Ahh my boy em made da list! Like it or not this guy is top 10 to do it. TMMLP was his 2nd album and it shut everyone the fuck up. He had songs for the critics, wack rappers gettin at him and of course his wife. It also has the best song his career IMO, Stan.
Listen : When you wanna murder your significant other
Top Songs : Stan, The Way i Am, Kim
Worst Song : The Real Slim Shady (typical mtv silly shit)

17. All Eyez On Me - 2Pac
Summary : 1st of all can they please stop releasing posthumous albums? This is what pac sounded like when he was ALIVE. Da beats are flawless and pac was just goin in. This would be higher on the list if it wasnt for unnecessary features that holds it back. Pac was fresh out of jail and he was ready to kill shit.
Listen : When cruisin in a nice whip
Top Songs :Picture me rollin, Can't C me, Shorty Wanna Be a Thug
Worst Song : Ain't Hard 2 Find ( pac + e-40? huh?)

16. The Black Album - Jay-z
Summary : This was supposed 2 be Jay's last Lp, as u can see its not. I guess thats what inspired cuz he made a classic. From beginning to the end this lp is fire. If u know me then u know i think Hova is da best to do it, but ill be honest Nas did ruffle his feathers wit "Ether" ( Jay won the battle tho ). The Black Album just showed that Jay has got Ether X 100.
Listen : When u got time to appriecate a well rounded piece or work
Top Songs : Threat, December 4th, Allure
Worst Song : Change Clothes

NOTE - 6 down and 15 to go. what ya think?

- Degree

RT 3.0 (Respect)

2010-01-30T02:14:00.000-08:00

"Im in your crib fuckin your bitch / no i dont normally do this / but she wants meee / when u gone she calls meee"

Its Saturday nite and i should be doin something fun(ner), but last nite was crazy enough. So instead of throwin my $ round ill give ya sum real talk. The issue ima talk bout always comes up in my conversations, its a big deal 2 Me

RESPECT

Im not talkin bout respect in general. Im talkin bout a specific kind. WTF is up wit dudes?! Matter fact wassup wit u girls to?! Where do ya get off fuckin wit someone who is in a relationship?!
Im Not a saint but whatever happened to class? Im only human and i have a list of regrets and mistakes but Damn.
U dont gotta wry bout me takin YOUR girl............... Unless.......
1.She lied and said she was single
OR
2. It was a random spur of the moment thing dat happened and was probably alcohol influenced.
Dats it, BOOM only 2 excuses... Ima good man lol...

Ive only been in 1 serious relationship. During that 4and a half year span i put up wit so much shit wit these niggas out here. Im not a lame, nobody is gonna disrespect me just like dat. If my girl wants u then fine take her and it On To The Next One... But some dudes really od! I had 2 fuck a nigga up in broad day just because i couldnt handle da fact dat he was always tryin 2 get in my girls ear sayin i did this, this and that. What kind of no-game-havin-ass shit is dat? If u talk down on a females boyfriend just 2 get with her u R a pussy simple & plain and u get no respect from me Punk!!

Some dudes get a rush off fuckin a taken girl and i see the temptation / appeal. But it shows u have very lil character plus karma is a bitch dats HIV positive.
PLUS
1. If u wit another dudes girl, u and him R jus swappin cum/rubber/spit (within da same day probably) via mouth and vagina wich is gross
2. How does the female look runnin round town wit "him" when everybody knows she gotta legit boyfriend
3. Da "side dude" is a cornball if he's payin 4 shit and goin on dates! Like r u actually tryin to wife up a girl who is CHEATIN. SMH!

There's 3 and a half billion women in the world (as of 2007). 51 pct are single, Trust me i googled it....

So you wanna show u got game? Ok why dont u bag every single chick than ill hand u your gold plated pimp cup. I always hear ima pimp bla bla, This dude was callin her while i was smashin. No shit dick dats His girlfriend. I might sound cheesy or a bit sour but its really bout respect and morals.

Evreything i just said goes both ways, Ok Ladies!

am i right or am i right?

Lemonade.

2010-01-29T13:09:00.000-08:00

Who killed this shit more?

I'm sure everyone knows who Gucci Mane is (BRR!)
Most people know who Curren$y is, & barely anybody
has even heard of Big Sean. (Signed to Kanye's label
& 1 of my favorite rappers out now.)

The original song is Gucci's, but I feel that Curren$y
made it doper & Big Sean just annihalates it. Here's
the tracks!

Gucci:

Spitta:

Big Sean:

Favorite Quotes:

Gucci - NONE. [I don't like him honestly. Only reason
anyone would listen is cuz of his flow
& his fuckin' noises. BRR! SKRR! Shit
is catchy but not my kinda music.]

Curren$y - Enviromentalist, I handcuffed myself to a purple tree.
Snooty Truty liein' to me sayin' she aint heard of me.
Groupie who you foolin' you know you be youtube searchin'
me!
[I just think it sounds cool idk. haha.]

Big Sean - I'm on the top floor gettin' brains. Higher Learnin'.
[Big Sean just has dopeass punchlines!]

I'm unusual as shit,I'm Super Bad yo girl probably
doooodlin' my dick.
[I know we all remember the fat dude drawing dicks
like crazy!] Here's a clip:

So who did it the best to you?

Big Sean > Curren$y > Gucci for me.

I'll probably post later on tonight or tomorrow depending
on what im doing.

-Brian SB.

21 - 19 (Music)

2010-01-28T21:40:00.000-08:00

This is gonna be another segment of mines. Since im 21 (and still celebrating it) im gonna post my 21 Personal Favorite albums, movies & maybe chicks(?)

As 4 da album list, I know da older viewers R gona like it more than the young cats. I noticed you youngins(18 and under) R jus plain ol different. Hopefully u can learn a lil somethin thru this list

now lets get it poppin :

21. The B. Coming - Beanie Sigel

Summary - This album is criminally underrated. When i 1st heard it i didnt like it much. As time passed i kept goin back to it. Its just so dam deep but at da same time its stylish. Sigel was goin thru it during the process of recordin this. He was bout 2 go serve jail time, needless to say he should face another charge because he killed every track on this lp.

Listen : When your in da last stage of recovering from devastation

Top Songs : I Cant Go On This Way, Feel it in the air, Tales of a Hustler pt. 2

Worst Song : Don't Stop (still hot song tho)

20. 808's & Heartbreaks - Kanye West

Summary - Another Lp i slept on! I hardly like this at all when it 1st dropped, now i have a tat from a verse off Love Lockdown. My opinion did a total 180. Kanye had just lost his mother and broke up with his fiance, so dude was fucked up in the head fo real. Thats what make this lp so great, u can feel his pain. He cant sing 4 shit so he uses auto-tune as a crutch throughout the whole lp. Full of emotion, 808s is just straight up ill. Since me & my x broke up this shit gets mad spins especially Bad News

Listen : when heartbroken (duh)

Top Songs : Love Lockdown, Say You Will, Amazin

Worst Song : Paranoid (has a good vibe, but bores me)

19. Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 - Raekwon

Summary : Sorry old heads, i cant post pt. 1 up. I don't like it That much. Its definitely not wack but it just doesnt have da illness dat pt. 2 has. Damn OB4CL2 is dope! Its full of storytelling about money, drugs and violence. Its a masterpiece lyrically and production-wise.

Listen : When cookin up crack

Tops Songs : Pyrex Vision, Cold Outside, House Of Flying Daggers

Worst Song : Mean Streets (wack compared to the rest of da lp)

NOTES - 1. ima do this list 3 @ a time, stay tuned.

2. these albums r fairly new, but there r old 1s at da top.

- Degree

It's a Stick-Up!

Imagine you had money on some bank robbery status?
Like the Joker in Batman only you won't get killed. (Genius idea btw)

I wish I was just sittin' on a shit load of cake.
Wether I was Bill Gates or this guy:

Everybody wants money, but noone grinds for it now-a-days!
People just expect that shit to come off of a tree. Find
a hustle people, as for my man Degree he's been makin'
ill shit in the studio! He sent me 6 new songs off of a new
tape he's 1/2 done with. He doesn't know what to name it yet,
I might make a poll. But right now F.E.A.R. is sounding
good to me. Fuck Everything & Rap. Good motto to.
Reminds me of when I was younger in school we had a Drop Everything & Read
period, now there's a Fuck Everything & Rap session goin' on.

BUT! Before that, comes Anti-Everything.
As you can see Degree's got alotta projects goin' on.

Here's a track off of Anti-Everything.

Degree - Robbin Da Bank.

&

MAYBE tomorrow I'll upload a track or 2 off of F.E.A.R.(?)
The songs are even sicker than the 1 uploaded today & on
some original beats.

.............................WOW.................

Its 3:12am and im just gettin in. Im drunk so bear wit me. I had a long ass studio session recorded 6 tracks over some Hannibal King production... Expect to hear some of those (im lettin brian pick wich 1s to post)...

SO...

i had like 2000 ideas to post. Now im home and kinda brain frozen.
im feelin conflicted (big word)on some issues :

RAPPIN VS. BLOGGIN / BLOGGIN VS. MORALS / MY THOUGHTS VS. SOCIETY'S

- I was mad hesitant to blog cuz i feel like bloggers r losers 2 be honest. But i need to get my music out there somehow. Thats y i got da title rappin vs. bloggin....

Da Way I See It : why blog bout something when u can put it in a song?

so wit that said i duno how much ima blog......BUT

- Bloggin is like a drug. U get addicted and u dont wana o.d

OVEREXPOSURE - THE CONDITION OF HAVING BEEN SEEN, HEARD OR ADVERTISED SO FREQUENTLY OR FOR SO LONG THAT FRESHNESS OR APPEAL IS DIMINISHED

- i got morals man simple n plain. I enjoy privacy but at da same time when i see da ppl i care bout not givin a fuck it urks me. so its like a catch 22...either blog and let my life slip thru da internet or keep 2 myself and find out who really gives a rats ass

- MY thoughts are very different from YOURS, HIS AND HERS!

i swear to god ive only come across 1 person my whole life who thinks like me. and dat nigga is a loser who will prolly neva c this(dont ask who).

Im a mix of a paranoid, grimy, wear my heart on my sleeve type of dude. how is that possible? Can u picture some1 who will smack your lil brother, sell bud 2 ur big brother, drink wit ya pops, fuck ya sister and buy ya mom dinner? yea dats me L M A O

UNDERRATED + UNDERAPPRECIATED = OVERACHIEVER

- We gettin mad hits on da blog baby! yup ive gotten txts, calls etc bout my writing...Honestly i got gassed, like dam should i write more?
But at da end of da day i think ppl jus dont appreciate me. ask urself RITE NOW, how many ppl u know dat will do ANYTHING for u?

...................................still waiting............. o ok thats wat i thought ..............

basically this drunken speech is if u underestimate me, underappreciate me, underrate me - Ur building me up 2 believe every lil thing i do is fuckin great lol....

WHAT ELSE?

RANDOM SHIT :

1. I Feel like da nigga in da movie dat always plays da good guy then he dies and ppl r like oh shit dam i done fucked up. i miss dat nigga...

2. My nigga Brian Sb(brotha from anotha) is very talented ya better watch out, homie can take ill ass pictures, make artwork, rap his ass off (COP TIMELESS) and dude gets all A's

APPLAUD MY NIGGA

3. i know most da ppl checkin this r his friends so hey im da drunk 1 dont mind me

4. WHATS A GOOD TITLE 4 MY NEXT TAPE? :

1. F.E.A.R.(FUCK EVERYTHING AND RAP)

2. THE BIGGER PICTURE

3. WALLS CLOSING IN

5. who wouldnt love this Face up there ^^^^

Noone Likes You When Noone's Like You.

2010-01-27T12:09:00.000-08:00

The title of the post is self-explanatory in a sense.
I find it intruiging how people that don't know you
already have a certain personality planned out for you
in their head. There's tons of labels out there, & people
always make assumptions. I think only you know you honestly.
People always say they have trust issues, that they don't trust anybody.
Those are the same people you can't trust, I might be one. I'm not even
sure, so how is someone gonna tell me, when I don't even know me?
&
Supposedly your friends influence you, I don't believe that.
If you have a strong enough will you'll do what you want to
wether or not there's pressure to. If I don't wanna smoke
I won't, if I do I will. In the grand scheme of things,
noone besides yourself can control what you do, you'll always
make a decision on your own. Think about them, because in the
end, you're not gonna have friends like you did in high school or
college. So why try to please them now? The only people down
with you forever are your family & a friend or 2 if you're lucky.
It's kinda sad that I'm having thoughts like this at such a young
age, I just slip into moods where I'm a sort of realist.
Furthermore,
I've been mistaken for things like:
Emo, dick, nerd, corrupted, hipster, & the list goes on.
I can only define myself as a fusion of tons of labels.
Accept it & move on, because I don't follow the norm.

Here's a track I found in my ipod I can relate to & matches
perfectly with the post.

Joe Budden - Clothes On a Mannequin.

_____________________________________________________________________________________
IN OTHER NEWS:
I'll probably make another post tonight with a new track from Degree.
Shit is nice, if I don't do it tonight I'll most definitely post tomorrow.
Thanks to all the readers, I put a counter up last night & shit says we got
about 130 views in a day, I'm proud of the blog & I'll keep posting material
frequently guys. Much love. Gonna hit up Xbox, i got another 48-Hour code.

I'm in, I'm outtttt.

Is You Bout It Bout It?

2010-01-25T17:11:00.000-08:00

So today I went & chilled with my boy danNY.
Had a photoshoot (No Homo) for his newest mixtape
titled "More Than Meets the Eye".

Here's some random shots from today I liked but not what we're using for the cover:

After multiple shots I decided to pick my weapons of choice.
The background, & the picture I'll be incorporating into it.

Weapon:

Choice:

I've already began the project & once I feel it's 100% complete
I'll post it up on here for comments & concerns. I'll also
have a free download link for his mixtape when it's done.
(I'm featured on a track or 2 as well.)

After choppin' it up he previewed me most of the material on
the tape, I picked a song that's only exclusively showcased
for listen/download for the readers of the blog. I figured I'd
pick something that fit the blog. (Coke-N-Cane). Without further ado,
I present to you...

danNY- I'm Dope.

ASSUME (ass-U-me)

2010-01-24T23:16:00.000-08:00

assume - to take for granted or without proof; suppose; postulate; posit

Sry if that HAITI post was too depressing. what can i say real talk is real talk...

So to brighten up the blog i gotta lil joke bein that im high (thanks alot mary jane).

i heard in a lil scrappy song(who knew?) that when u assume u make an ass outta u and me. Ever since i heard dat line ive been using it like i made it up. I told my X dat line over 1000 times cuz she was da queen of ...... ASSUMING

And guess who just made an assumption via txt. Yup my own blog partner, BRIAN SB(hoothoot). I told him i might not make any posts on my days off because ima be busy. Guess what dat fuck said ?

i quote : " just do it when you get home wasted & shit haha. "

.........WTF NIGGA...........

Did i say i was gonna get wasted?! i said ima be busy!!

sad part is i might be busy gettin wasted !

Real Talk Pt. 1 ( u got problems!?)

2010-01-24T22:47:00.000-08:00

So as we start 2 get our shit 2gether with this blog ive been brain tsunaming(hoothoot)and i thought of this idea

REAL TALK

everytime you see Real Talk its just gona be all honesty basically...
so here we GO:

These last 2 months i been feeling down for multiple reasons. Thanks 2 da ppl who have helped(and tried). But theres one thing that really put me in my place.

Haiti

thats right, im not too into the news(its bullshit c'mon b) but of course i heard bout Haiti. Ive been on this place called earth 21 yrs so i've seen tragedy. For some reason this earthquake in Haiti bothered me. Im gonna donate money(i promise)when i find a trustworthy place 2 donate it...

Like i said im not into the news but here are 2 links to stories that i skimmed thru :

1. Haiti's "Miracle Man" Tells Survival Story.

2. Aid groups seek out tents, sites for refugee camps as Haitians flow out of wrecked capital.

Now sorry if im not coming across as a "smart" resource but i just feel like ALL of us bitch n moan meanwhile people are fighting 2 live because of "mother nature"...

So before i sign off just include these ppl in your prayers, shit is real......

- Degree aka Cane aka Gucci Da iron LivER!

After this catastrophe I'm sure most of you saw or heard about the telethon
done for Haiti. Well something that interested me is 1 of my favorite rap duo's
of all time. (The Clipse) Made a limited edition tee shirt under their brand
"Play Cloths". 100% of the proceeds were donated to www.yele.org
The tee sold out instantly, here's a pic.

All I need in this life of sin...

2010-01-24T20:37:00.000-08:00

is me & my ~~girlfriend.~~ Xbox ♥

This shit right here consumes most of my time
ever since I got it for Christmas. Ever since Xbox
my friends bitch at me to get off & chill,

my mom has to yell more for me to vacuum, & me & my now ex girlfriend
fight. (No, we didnt break-up cuz of xbox.) Me & my boy
danNY know what's good, we get online & play for countless
hours. & I only play 1 game to, Modern Warfare 2!

I'm addicted to this game, I get online
& talk shit to all the motherfuckers on
my team or other teams, people in the lobby,
I even talk shit to my damn self!
I unlocked some DOPE titles & emblems that
help me express my self, check this shit out.

I wake-up in the morning & don't even brush my teeth & piss.
I hold it for as long as I can (usually 3 or 4 games) then
rush over to the bathroom during an intermission. Only
way I get up to eat breakfast is if I start losing & get
pissed & blame it on hunger. Which is honestly just me
lieing to myself to feel better. This entire day consisted of
Xbox, Waffles, Waffles, Xbox. I need to get the fuck out of the
house tomorrow.

Here's a pic from breakfast.

I feel this kid's pain, my xbox live account is about to run out.
I'm gonna have to pay $50 for a year or just suffer. FUCK.

Now that Drew (a.k.a. Degree) & I (Brian [SB]) have finally got our shit together it's about time we start giving you some drunk words & sober thoughts. The blog is gonna be dope, just peep the name. This is gonna be a place where you can come to for your fix on music, jokes, kicks, clothes, hos, & all that random good shit. Degree's in & out the studio so often I'ma post some of his new shit up here.

Hit up the space for a sample of our music:
www.myspace.com/brianesbee

New to the blogging thing, still under construction foolies.

BTW, I know everybody's laughing at the
62 year old dude on American Idol that made
his "Pants On the Ground" song. But he didn't
deserve to get famous, on the other hand, here's
someone I think is much more entertaining & has
more to offer. He makes his own beats & raps!
