Wednesdays at the War Room!!

Zack and Scene killed it last night at 2080s. Which is nothing new really, but last night’s insanely awesome hiphop/’80s dance party at the War Room sported a Miami Vice theme that upped the totally-rad factor by several notches. The show was playing on the flat screens and projections over the bar and the dancefloor, the perfect accompaniment to the tropical-feeling, bamboo-flocked roof deck and the hot-as-hell dancefloor. Scene even thew in a slow-jam set for the lovers in the house. As usual, the crowd was as mixed and stylish as it gets in Seattle. One dude was rocking the white-on-white cotton jacket and pants look. You go, Sonny Crocket. If you haven’t been to the best Wednesday night throwdown in the city, you’re missing out.

The Stranger





Compared to those classic hits, contemporary Top-40 hip-hop stands up to scrutiny about as well as a tool shed in a tornado. But hook up some "Cold Lampin' With Flavor" and I'll be on the table so fast it's like I'd been born and raised shaking my butt up there like a pasty Jewish Shakira. Which is why 2080's night at The War Room is the best place to blow off all your midweek steam: DJs Fourcolorzack and Scene don't just play '80s jams, they break out the '80s jams you forgot about, would never hear on the radio (unless it's KEXP), or never even heard in the first place. These guys are experts at sifting through, selecting, and remixing should-be classics to keep the party hopping. And it is hopping, even though it's on a Wednesday, when most people would rather stay home.

Young Berg's Chain Snatched

He goes to Detroit for a concert and before heading straight to the hotel, stops by the club. Within two minutes he got BEAT the fuck up at the club and someone (above) snatched his chain. It's soooo coolldddd in the D! hahaha. DETROIT WHAT!@! Anyway, He skated without performing like he was supposed to.

While we're at it. Ya Boy has a diss track towards Berg.

That's probably 1 out of many to come from several young kats who don't play the whole I'm the best young rapper ever.

Footage of Double-O (Kidz in the Hall) Getting Beat

“It was at a venue that we had just performed and, you know, it was a ridiculous situation that they will unfortunately make me pretty rich from and who knows, second, third, fourth album might be on I Gotcha Records.”

- Double-O of Kidz in the Hall

Note to anyone, anywhere, doing anything. There are CAMERAS EVERYWHERE, EVERYONE has a cell phone, no matter what, assume you're being recorded mothafuckas. This behavior is not acceptable.

Public Service Announcment: Increase the Peace

And not the kind that delete's ya peeps. (c) Obie Trice

Funny that Mike would reminisce on some love movement shit today. Last night at the club, mothafuckas outside start screamin and pushin each other. Someone got shoved into me. I just looked at the dude shovin people, held up two fingers and was like "Increase the Peace, man." Homeboy started shoving me. "Go across the street before I punch your ass." "All I said was Increase the peace, man, how you gonna punch me for wantin to be peaceful?" "If you want this shit to stay peaceful you better go across the street. I'm gonna give you 5 seconds" I watched him count down to 0 and of course there's no real climax to this story other than the dude sat there thwarted by a kid half his size. I mean, I kind of figured if it would be way too ironic if he fought me for saying peace that it just wouldn't be possible. That would be some GNARLY SHIT.

I always wondered if hot headed mothafuckas like that go home, sober up in the morning and look at themselves in the mirror on some "I'm a dumbass" Charles Barkley shit. Cuz I guarantee some mothafucka had a nice bark one night. UNTIL THEM SIGNS GO UP IN THE AIR! THATS HOW THE FIGHT STARTS!

Sometimes I want to hire a bodygaurd to LEGALLY whoop some peoples ass. Maybe one day when I'm eatin off Mike and Smizzy's record deal. lol.

Back to your regularly scheduled program... Soulful Sundays!

Here's one of my favorite old school soulful jams. I think it fits the story well.

"Every time we go out man... we always get in... total FUCKDOWN..." lmao.

Nelly & Ciara - Stepped On My J's Snippit

The song isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It doesn't change the fact that for the most part Jordan's are DED to me anyways. But it's only a snippit, so who knows what the full song has in store. Also, I seriously hope the snippit video WASN'T Nelly's and was just some fanboy, bc if Nelly has some of the same J's as I do, and he's not on that super exclusive tip... I'd be a little disappointed.

EDIT: don't be disappointed fanboy lol would Nelly rock the PHILLY"S? think not. plus most of those boxes were size 8/9...pay more attention

What you guys think of the song? Leave a comment and let us know.

Diddy's Rough Week

First the 2pac Murder is placed on his shoulders. Now this:

Shyne Trying To Tie Diddy To Lawsuit Over 1999 Shooting

Issue at center of suit is whether Shyne acted independently -- or as part of Bad Boy collective -- when he fired shots.

After nearly two years, Sean "Diddy" Combs completed his deposition last week in the $130 million civil lawsuit stemming from the 1999 Club New York shooting that sent the Bad Boy CEO's former protégé, Shyne, to prison, MTV News has learned.

Oooohh Child... Things are gonna get easier. OH! That's a 2pac song. Sorry no taste at all.
