yeah so was browsing the internet and came across this cool website for a design competition for Eminem's UK release of his Relapse album

the campaign uses augmented reality so users can print off a special marker code and then paint over a virtual 3D image on their computer screens... pretty crazy stuff

anyway thought i'd play around so here's my Eminem vs Alive Not Dead design rendition

if ur crafty with ya fingers go create your own at www.therelapse.co.uk

yo yo!!

so sunday was one of the most fun days iv had in a while - at Jeanne's intro to acting workshop = total blast!!

have to say it was my first time doing anything like that. i have no problem getting up and spitting shit into a mic in front of total strangers but acting... dammn that was just plain HARD folks OMG

yeah ok so it didn't help that i had a brutal double hangover with shakes to boot  lolz, especially after the AnD party but even so it was totally worthwhile :)

had an awesome krew of peeps there, no pretention, no "i'm the man" shit, everyone came with their hearts out and put the work in

we started w/ some fun (if not a little weird) improv exercises and then got into some script work where everyone got to play a variety of characters to test our their limits. I ended up as a priest... (Whaaat haha) and a used car salesman, neither of which i have any experience nor affinity for!

anyway my biggest takeaway was just how truly hard it is to lose yourself in a character and situation you have no knowledge of.. working out the back story, making your decisions on who the character is/has been and fleshing out those experiences based on your own imagination and ability to draw on personal emotions is just D for Mad Difficult!!

massive props to Jeaanne for being a total darling xo. i was at ease the entire time i was there, no matter how nerve racking on occasion and her breadth of knowledge, glorious persona and funny stories made the day!!

also shout it out to Jason Tobin for getting my ass out of bed and forcing me to come. haha jokes bro, i owe you really :D

so if you're in any two minds about going - JUST DO IT! you won't regret it, hell i'd do it again tomorrow so my only request is that Jeanne should come back more often!!

word

ok so u will hv all seen the smash youtube hit MV "Jizz In My Pants" riiight?

Well here is the sequel (for the ladies) which is just as funny :D

Puke In My Mouth.....?? GOLD!! haha

ok this is some crazy shit so you gotta check this guy out

Baba Brinkman (check his myspace) is a literary emcee currently touring with his adaptions of Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales"... as a RAP... He recently performed at the Art Studio during the microfest here in Hong Kong and we had the chance to see him perform which was awesome

Basically, while he grew up battling like most emcees he took a shining to old world english literature and has since created rap versions of Chaucer (the father of english literature) and other tales.. managing to retell (translate) 15th century language into todays's pop culture environment.

he makes the comparison that rap today is no different than 15th century story telling, its still about pimps & hoes, money & power.. it always has been, but the real insight is the battling and story telling of old which still exists today

Baba also came to GROUNDED last weekend and jumped the mic for a set with me which was a privilege to say the least..

so check out one of baba's literary performances below and go watch his new "Rap Guide to Evolution" which he performs at poet meets around the world and even to Harvard classes

Mean!!
