Hip Hop in relation to Sb, Cw - Cunninlynguists, Little Brother, Kanye

Snowboarding. 

You know that feeling when you're surfing down a 30 degree'd medium-groomed piste with 5-7cm of powder on the top?

Sun on your back. Smile on your face. Strong, bendy board on the bottom.

Godjizzlla feelings...

There's a whole stoner/boarder culture in the USA/Canada where bros wear gangsta clothes, smoke pot, and ride the slope. Kind of like the surfer-culture, except they switch sand for snow, surf for carve.



I like it. In the winter of 09 I went to Whistler and hiked around with my board; when the sun came out and I was carving down peacefully (doing the odd butter here and there), I felt God-like. 

Godamn.



The hook is good ***, the rest of the song is very complicated... You'd think that these intellectual rappers are just rambling on? What are they talking about?

There's 3 types of Rap: Intellectual (Cunnin), Mid-intellectual (Lupe), and Stoopid (Lil Wayne).

I like the middle ones the most, imo: Lupe Fiasco, Pharell (quirky) Kanye (eeh kinda) Wiz Khalifa (kinda)


I be doin alright, I be doin ok, as long as I can see another day


On a strangely related tangent, C-walking:


When I was a sophomore in high school I enjoyed watching vlogs on Youtube, and there was this one asian kid, Kevjumba, who had this cool video of him c-walking. Not gonna lie. This vid inspired me to cwalk. haha




I have memories of cwalking to this on weekends at my boarding school. Ha.
Once the beat comes in, bam! Sick song to cwalk to.

Lol @past me.
