BILL MUTHAFUCKIN MURRAY!

One of the best scenes in movie history IMO. Wu Tang’s RZA & GZA encounter Bill Murrary hiding out as a waiter in a dinner. If you have yet to see the film Coffee & Cigarettes (2003), I highly recommend you Netflix it now!

eNjOy!

NEW SCHITT (DOWNLOADS AND SCHITT)

We know it’s tempting to take and not ask any questions, but think about this. If a crackhead can pay for crack, why can’t you pay for proverbial crack? We’re gonna hit you with consistent shit, but please, don’t come here and expect to get the new Lil Boosie album or any shit like that. That’s just not our steez. But on the flipside, it would be silly for us to fuck around on the artists we love and post their entire jawns for free too. So we’ll hit you with crack, archival shit, new singles, fresh finds and the like, but don’t expect full joints like that. It’s just not sensible. Now the messageboard and the email lists….well, that’s a different story. You just gotta gain access to those, and who KNOWS what you’ll get But on to the dope shit after the jump…
