Red Bull Big Tune Finals Update

Here's a bootleggy video of a few of the performers. Maybe it's just me but it seemed like the 300 - 400 people crowded in the Seattle gig were MUCH louder than this new york crowd but that's just me.



In order of appearance:

-EQ (Houston)

-C-Sick (Chicago) **WINNER**

-Rob Bates (Chicago)

-Illmind (New Jersey / Philadelphia)

-14KT (Detroit)

-Mr. Dibia$e (Los Angeles)

-Algorythm (Washington, D.C.)

-Rising Son (Seattle)

-Brainstorm (Seattle)

-Malek aka Hitmaker (Oakland)

-Marc Garvey (Oakland)

-Ritz (Philadelphia)

-myself, J. Bizness (The 909 / Los Angeles)

-The Best Kept Secret (Washington, D.C.)

-Frank Dukes (Toronto / Detroit)

-Sound MOB (Houston)

Anyway, on some east vs west bullshit, they picked off all the west coasters first. Maybe I'm making more out of it than it really is, and it could just be the sound differences of the coasts. but whatever.


Brainstorm has a blog up on his myspace about the day to day antics that happened. Apparently he got rushed into picking a beat and he used one he didn't want to use at the time or something. Which, if it were me, I'd have like a top 2 or 3 that I was thinking about for the 8 weeks inbetween comps, lol, but it's all gravy.

Look out for the competition to be broadcasted on BET in Feb 09.

Madden 09 - First Roster Update

They just put the finishing touches on the first Madden roster update.

Here's a few important details:

QB Brett Favre – Traded to Jets
HB LaMont Jordan – Released by Raiders/Signs with Patriots
TE Jeremy Shockey – Traded to Saints
SS Mike Green – Released by Seahawks
SS Jamar Adams – Signs with Seahawks
DE Michael Strahan – Retires

--
HB Ricky Williams – Dolphins – 83 to 85 – Ricky looks like “a beast” and is running very hard and should get plenty of carries this year in Miami.
DT Red Bryant – Seahawks – 74 to 78 – An injury derailed his strong start to camp.
DT Brandon Mebane – Seahawks – 80 to 82 – Very strong DT who bull rushed his way to 29 tackles and 2 sacks his rookie season.

--
QB John Beck – Dolphins – 78 to 77 – His nickname is “Checkdown” by a local Miami writer. Guess that is what happens when you are accustomed to having 0.6 seconds to throw.
WR Mario Manningham – Giants – 78 to 76 – Has looked slow and can’t get open in New York so far.

If you live in Seattle. I'll see you at midnight at your local Wal-Mart
