Dats-Dope : Mixtape of The Year
From The Westside With Love - Dom Kennedy
* It started with 25th Hour, Best After Bobby, and the tape that caught EVERYONES attention; FutureStreet/DrugSounds Dom Kennedy came right back at us with a very well orchestrated array of songs in the latest mixtape titled From The Westside With Love. In recent years, west coast emcees have been playing in the background of hip hop, but artists like Dom give us hip hop lovers a sense that lyricism is still alive coming out of the west coast.
*Honorable Mention:
Dats-Dope : Top 5 Albums of The Year
** I feel like alot of you arent going to agree with this list I conjoured up, BUT.... you know it.... this is all just based observation, and personal taste of course.. I mean, ya'll check the site because you dig the same tunes we do, right? .. so with that being said Em is at #3 because every time I listen to that album I cant shake the feeling of wanting the old pysco Em back.. the chainsaw with the jean jumper and jason mask on at up in smoke tour 2001 Eminem.. like The marshall mathers LP em.. I really miss that em, lyrically. unlike earlier when Hov dropped BP3, and everyone was like we want old jay or jay aint the same blah blah.. but as we listened to BP3 more the new Jay grew on us and we got used to it.... that idea isnt the same for me with Em. not sure why, but Recovery is a REALLLY REALLY good album I just cant... get with.. this....... "sober" sain Em. #Thatisall. Thursday, December 30, 2010

Kendrick Lamar – Live Again ft. CurT@!n$ x Schoolboy Q
When Kendrick goes in like this he is always at his best just straight raw no homo flow, just here all emotion and thought in the rhyme. Q always goes in and hasn't disappointed me yet, they have pretty solid team behind them waiting too see what else they can produce. CurT@!n$ has always been solid and have always heard dope stuff from him but that verse made me want to look into him a lot more.

Jay Electronica – The Announcement (Mountain Dew Code Red rmx)
I guess the world is starting to get hip! Is that a good thing tho? Usually No because once it gets hype its over hyped and then just deaded but in this case I believe its dope. Jay Electronica links up with mountain dew and re create the roc nation introductions with Elec with The Announcement . Its good to see artist like this because it shows that Hip Hop has finally came back to its own and way it was. We never know with the way things have been going we might actually see how the game was before and just the culuture, lifestyle will be positive. They do say history does repeat itself right?

Dats Dope Q&A :Vito Bronson
Contact:
vitobronson@gmail.com
Do you belong to a group?
I guess you could say that. The Grindhouse is my family. DC Grindhouse is the label that I’m on. I’m also Co-CEO of that movement right there. We also got different artists coming out, out of the city and I’m one of them, so. I’m part of a group, and I also do my solo thing, so, you know…
How old are you?
I’m 25.
And how long have you been rapping?
I’ve been rapping since I was like 12.
So how did you get the idea to get your own record label going and when did you start taking this seriously?
It was just out of necessity. There’s not too many opportunities as far as the music game, so you got to make your own opportunities, and that’s basically what we’re doing – doing what was unavailable to us and made it available to us.

Nike Unveils The Future of Football
Nike held a Nike Football Summit at the iconic Dallas Cowboys stadium for the unveiling of the Nike Alpha Talon Cleat, termed as “Nike’s Most Advanced Cleat Ever” and the next generation of Nike Pro Combat uniforms for 2011 season. Some of the top collegiate teams including University of Oregon, Boise State University, and University of Florida are expected to wear as they take the field in this season’s upcoming Bowl Games. Nike also had NFL players Ndamukong Suh, Clay Matthews, Dwayne Bowe, Felix Jones and Steven Jackson at the stadium to help with the introduction. via:FreshnessMag
Nike is just to crazy for me you have to love everything they do just for the fact when they do something they do it big and make sure everyone is amazed. From the whole team of designers, to the people in marketing and to the athletes who represent them Nike never fails in delivering excellence. Even though they chose to do this in Cowboys stadium nonetheless these new cleats and combat jersey that will be for the 2011 season are DOPE!
Three teams will get to debut there new uniforms in the BCS bowl games this year, Florida, Boise State and of course Mecca of Nike apparel for college sports Oregon.

Stussy - Stussy Canada Winter 2010 Collection from Stussy on Vimeo.
Many streetwear brands have been doing the more visual lookbooks. I always found that dope just another way to catch the viewers eyes and keep them entertained and focused on the product. Stussy is keeping up with the trend of that with the help of their Canadian Chapter.
Nike Destroyer Jacket
The Nike Destroyer has easily caught the eye of many people and Nike has received much success with this jacket. With the classic Varsity Jacket look many people enjoy the look of this jacket and getting it customized like Nike action sports like Paul Rodriguez and including bigger name athletes like Lebron James, Amare Stoudemire, and Darelle Revis. This jacket is too smooth and with your own personal touch you gotta love it. MFG located in NY give you the chance, you can email mfg@nikestadiums.com to book your appointment.

In previous post I didn't get a chance to really get a vibe of dude but the mixtape is real smooth with all original production with working mostly with the Baron Boys and this combo def works for both of them.

Big Sean (Baltimore)
Well I meant to post this earlier but no laptop for a blogger is like DEATH so if you love me you can purchase me one so just holla at me ;)
Anyway last Saturday was the Big Sean Concert at Sonar in Baltimore. It was real Dope Live event where pretty much the whole world was there to show love and support Big Sean Music. Every Blogger to videographer to photographers were in the building, the show it self was dope to the opening acts who were def live and kept entertained till the headliner hit the stage. You had wide range of acts up and DMV own Phil Ade was there and did a great set like usual.
I really didn't know I was even going anymore it was pretty last minute so no real blogging was going in on my part I was just enjoying the show and having blast as you can tell by the Pic above I was pretty lit and flight was taken and it was smooth night. Ive seen Big Sean before at UMD when he came with Mike Posner but this set he did really made me a fan, you can see Big Sean feeds off his crowd and vice versa. Sean showed love for the fans who came out and they def got his money's worth, with him performing a full set and fans getting a good Hour out of him performing every song that you wanted to here from him.
Check out the videos and other footage on PatisDope and Boooogie

Logic
Got something new for Dats Dope from artist Logic who is new to blog. Logic who is from the DMV is def a new artist I can dig, Logic has a real dope flow and delivery that sets him different from many DMV artist that I have heard. What def caught my attention is he contacted me about his video and I never heard his name around till that day and then I glance and started seeing Logic pop up many other blogs and twitter and this was all in an couple hours so Grind def pays off.
I gave a listen to Logics mixtape and it def shows his versatility, the mixtape itself is pretty solid with production. Logic is def someone you will be seeing on the scene check out the above video and this trailer he has out its def good vid to see what he is about.
MindOfLogic.com

When you see these dunks what do you think the cat who just got posterized thinks after that especially seeing it replayed millions times LOL.
and of course being sneakerhead you peep him rocking them fresh cool greys that make the dunk o so much better lol, bet couple more folks will be putting more money in Jordans pockets after that.
