QUEUE-TIP: “SNATCH”

QUEUETIP

Welcome to my new column “QUEUE-TIP”. Here’s the rundown: Pretty much every now and then I will suggest a movie for you to throw in your Netflix Queue. If you know nothing about me, know this…my movie knowledge is top tier. So don’t fret my pets, take head and get put up on some classic cinematography.

My first installment is quite appropriate considering its one of my favorite movies. Some know about it, but its a cult classic so most dont. Its a shame too, cause its by far one of the most well put together movies of our generation. The direction & writing (Guy Richie) is impeccable, the score is unmatched (maybe the oceans), the character development is astounding and it has more one liners than a Bruce Willis flick.

Fabolous x By Any Means = something vicious for “There Is No Competition 2″

Since you silly bastards didn’t vote for our cover on twitter, Loso hit us up to handle some “other” work on the “There Is No Competition 2″ mix-tape. Can’t really say too much yet, but I can pretty much promise not only will the music be crucial but what we have in-store is pretty special.

“The true master is consciousness, and I mean true consciousness — not simply being awake — I’m talking about the consciousness that never sleeps. The part of you that is aware of your consciousness. There’s a part of you that’s always there, always consistent, that represents your true self — the part connected to God. That’s who you gotta get in touch with.”

RZA – The Tao of Wu

We’ve all got our Maxims, Credo’s, and Mantra’s. We throw it up on Twitter, post it on Facebook — fuck this is sounding sappy already. But you get the point. All these sayings, quotes, and otherwise inspirational pieces of trivial trivia are everywhere. And, honestly…

I don’t give a fuck what Ralph Waldo Emerson says.
