Rapper Ill Mitch? | Funny and Buzzy

One unfortunate afternoon a particular local bboy caught my attention. During practice he was halfway attempting something quite extraordinary and I wanted to see stick around to watch. Sadly, I had to gap early. Someone passed me his bboy name so I decided to google search him just in case he had any dope battle videos floating online.

Instead - I found someone else. Someone strange. With a strange website. A website so strange it was interesting. So interesting I stayed there for 10 minutes with my head spinning. Then I decided I had to share it with the rest of the world. Click the picture to visit his website.

Dope Pictures I Found This Week

I found these really cool images floating around online this week. Thought I'd share some of my favourites.

Carlito Olivero’s Sex Appeal | X Factor USA 2013

The next round of X Factor USA is tomorrow. I should have done this earlier but let me talk about one of my favourite performances last week. By performance I don’t mean who sang the best but who’s act I liked the most.  Psh, this is the X Factor, so the wow-factor counts for something. The wow-performance that night for me was…

Carlito Olivero’s Maria Maria. It’s also biasedly because I love that song so whoever would think to attempt that song better darn well know how to sing it better than the original. Carlito didn’t really do that. His vocals definitely suffered in expense of giving a stunning stage performance. It got a little breathy and it was obvious by the end of the performance he didn’t have enough air to hold that last note. I still enjoyed his performance though.

Rap in Family Guy Voices | Look At Me Now | Beat Box Bonus

So I went on YouTube for five minutes to check out a video and an hour later I ended up in a particularly interesting YouTube channel. It’s owned by a man by the name of Paul Vlahos and he does really legit impersonations of Family Guy voices. What’s even better – he raps with those voices. Flippin’ Genius!

Check it out:

Restless Road | 4 Chair Challenge | X Factor USA 2013

Continuing after my Carlos and Tim rant is Restless Road. Ok, I hate it when people say it because it sounds so barbaric, but the saying ‘a lot of panties are falling down’ might actually be true for Restless Road. And can I add briefs and boxers in the mix too, no homo?

These charming boys – er – men are making ladies AND gentlemen all over the world fall in love with them just so effortlessly. Not only are they actually very pretty but after rewinding (rewinding? who says that these days) back to their auditions, I found them to be very likeable people. Andrew smiles for eternity, Colton is totally loved by his town, and Zach seems to be in good terms with his younger siblings - who doesn't love a nice big brother? And when I say big, I also mean friggin' tall.

Carlos Guevara and Tim Olstad | 4 Chair Challenge | X Factor USA 2013

I don’t usually fan girl about the X Factor but this week’s selection was so spectacular I just had to write about it! I’m watching it all the way from New Zealand, so obviously old news in the US is still news down here.

On a normal X Factor week I can easily forget about the show after watching it. This week was slightly different - I actually found plenty to love the show for. To begin with I was excited for the over 25s but this feeling quickly dissipated when I found Ashly Williams missed a spot in the girl’s category (boo!). Buuut, after seeing the outcome of this week’s selection, the dormant creepy little show-fangirl in me was awakened.

From Swag to Class | Blog Transition

Hey guys, I’ve returned to put some life back into my dying blog.

Actually, I realised this blog became more popular while I was away. I was told maybe I was the problem in the first place. I don’t see the connection.

Oh.

Well I guess that ends this post then.

Cool Stuff | Jeff Bliss vs. Teacher | Duncanville Highschool

I've been MIA on this blog for a while, so I'll get back into it with this awesome video for my Cool Stuff section. This video went viral, and I'm glad it did because a large proportion of viewers on YouTube are still students who really need to see what the value of education is to some of us.

Actually, when I saw this video get popular on facebook, I thought it was going to be something like a Harlem Shake in the classroom, or like, a freestyle rap battle with the teacher. Honestly though, when he started speaking, he had that rhythm in his voice. Am I the only one who thought this? Check it out.

Gallery of Artistic New Era Hats

I came across these pretty cool things. These are customized New Era hats; some are stunning and some don't make sense at all, heh. I'm still posting this up for our viewing pleasure though. I think that's the most practical purpose for these hats, I don't think they'd be something you'd want to be wearing on the daily lol. For a costume party, maybe? Otherwise, I don't see anywhere these hats will go except on the wall or as a decorative accessory inside the house/room :D Still an awesome collection though.

Dope Findings #4 - The Male Edition

I give credit to Sneakhype for finding all these awesome stuff but what won it for me is the description for each one. It's just as hilarious as the item itself. Have a read.

Special Sh*t Seasoning by Big Cock Ranch

"This is my kind of seasoning right here. It's not like I know what I'm doing when I season stuff anyway. I just use a handful of whatever it is on my spice rack and call it good. But with Special Sh*t Seasoning you always know you'll be cooking up that good sh*t.

Seriously though, these are actual seasonings meant for seasoning Hot 'n' Spicy stuff, Sweet in' Salty stuff, fruit or veges and BBQ."

Cool Videos | Animals Crossing | A Parent's Love

My 'Cool Stuff' section is getting pretty busy these days - people this week are actually posting up some nice videos worth sharing. Here are two of my favourites this week!

This first one is hilarious. It's a human's rendition of how different animals cross the road - and how it would look like if humans did the same. Heh. Pretty cute.

Dope Findings | #3

Sneaker Pillow by Vanilla Medallions

How to look fly while sleeping? Sneaker pillows. If you have a couch at your studio and you need a quick snooze with extra comfort. Sneaker pillows. If you're a dance student and sleeping overnight at the dance studio before an exam. Sneaker pillows. Solves all life's comfort mysteries lol.

Bboy Physicx in the Circus | 360 Allstars | Australia

I find it interesting that I’m bumping into a lot of Physicx articles lately, not that I have a problem with it. This latest one is quite a wonder. Physicx in the circus, say what?! Christchurch bboy, Leerok, rubbing shoulders with an international fave, what?! And now… I’m jealous. Lol.

Like mentioned in one of my previous entries, Physicx is currently in Australia. He said he’d be judging and touring while doing workshops. I figured this low intensity stuff might be for his recovery. But I guess he missed to mention joining the circus too. Wow. I would never ever have guessed that in a million years. The idea seems a little off-key, but actually it’s not so bad once explained.

We Are Beautiful | Dove Ad Campaign

“You are more beautiful than what you think”

I woke up this morning with that message hovering above me. On any other occasion I would have brushed these words aside as it reminded me of something my parents or grandparents would say enough for it to lose its meaning. But after having witnessed this Dove Ad Campaign in which the words were used with such gentle force and delivery, I can’t help but take its meaning to heart this day.

Like most girls, no matter how much I deny it, or hide it, I still care about what I look outside the house – still a little self-conscious at times about what others think of me. Some people feel it more than others regardless of being a man or a woman, and we can’t ignore the existence of this weakness we all seem to have: public image.

Music Revives Old Man | Bboy Spot Article

If you don’t already follow the Bboy Spot, you should. They have some pretty amazing products solely for bboys, but they also write some amazing and thought provoking articles. The most recent one I’ve come across (but isn’t a recent article) is about an old man who came to life once he heard music from his era.

Bboy Bucket List | Cypher Styles

Some of you probably have already read this, but for those, better check it! It's worth the read.
Here. GO READ IT! It's so hilarious and true. I realised I have a lot more to cross off that list.

Peace and Enjoy.

Dope Findings | #2

Here's my second installment of Dope Findings! Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to sell these things lol. I think I've made this point clear by not providing links where you buy them. I still need to give credit to the sources though (and direct people actually wanting to buy them!). Anywho, consider these posts as something like a wish list because these things are so awesome that I wish I had them. I do plan to buy some of them! So should you! Lol.

1. Robo Tea Infuser by Kikkerland Design

I don't really like coffee or energy drinks, so I get my caffeine kick from tea! It may or may not be a healthier alternative, but the thought alone of drinking something healthy has some pretty positive outcomes! I'm a tea person and I think these robots are so cute to wake up to for breakfast!

Transforming Wardrobe?! | Takara Tomy x New Era | Shoes

Be prepared to be amazed! I never thought this was ever possible - I didn't even think anything like THIS would ever exist, but take this: what happens when Transformers meet your wardrobe? Boom. Check it.

Videos | Epic Rap Battles

I'm sure most people know about these videos but I just really wanted to share them to those who don't already know them yet. Like the title says, these rap battles are actually pretty epic and can make for really good tunes to listen to. They're hilarious!

Basically these guys who own the channel run the fantasy of what these famous/historical/fictitious figures would rhyme about if they ever met in a rap battle. They are really clever and know their shiz! It pays to know your history too. Glad I paid attention back in school. Heh.

Get connected to their channel!! Anyways, here are two of my favourite Epic Rap Battles.

Dope Findings

I tend to come across some really cool things now and again that has nothing to do with this blog. But if I feel like I can actually use these in terms of my life as a dancer, then I'm sure the average dancer will find their uses for it too. If not, I'll try and make you see how it will come in useful for you.
