The Rise & Fall of the Southern Rap Empire

August 28, 2009  |  Uncategorized  |  No Comments

From crunk to snap music, Southern rap has reigned supreme over the charts for the last half decade. When ATL stole the crown from NYC as the Mecca of hip hop, aspiring rappers and producers made the pilgrimage from all over to find a better, more trill existence. Most would fail upon realizing it’s not enough to simply rhyme ‘grind’ with ’shine’ as many times as possible. After everything Lil Jon and TI did for Atlanta’s growth, the Georgia Department of Tourism should write them monthly checks.For my fellow Atlanta natives, I should point out that what old school ATLiens may think of as Southern rap is not really what I’m talking about in this article. The OutKasts and Goodie Mobs of yore are not what made the Atlanta Braves hat the new Yankees cap. What I’m talking about here is a little more, well… basic. Let’s have a look:

Quick Movie Review: Inglourious Basterds

Best movie I’ve seen in 2009. Great acting, great action, great story. Great fucking sound.

.

Gruesome. Borderline horror movie death scenes. It’s hard to feel sorry for Nazis though. I guess that’s the point.

I held my pee for an hour waiting for the climax.

Leica store to hit Palm Beach

August 26, 2009  |  Uncategorized  |  1 Comment

Leica is preparing itself to open its first US store in West Palm Beach, Florida, where it will be located on the trendy Clematis street in the downtown area. Offering more than 26,000 sq. ft. of classrooms, museum, studio, store and administration, the emphasis within this building will be just digital photography – hence doing away with the need for a dark rook. As for the general photography store, that will take up around 3,000 sq. ft. of space, including the Leica Store in Store (SIS). We’re looking at a 6-week timeframe for the store to be opened. Looks like more and more tech companies are opening up brand specific stores to push their products, and we lay the “blame” on Apple’s successful Apple Store for making this method prominent.
