The Vent Part 1

Why is it that girls with small breasts grace (if we can call it that) the cover of top-selling magazines bearing all but when a girl with big boobs in a bikini does it it's considered soft porn?

Granted, it's not the type that etv would promote - this is too tame. But still...

Sigh. This shot is timeless, and perhaps it's because it is shot in black and white but Damita Jo has tig ol bitties and it just is what it is. Does not having a nosejob exclude everyone else from art?

Friday Favourites - DJ Babu

You thought we forgot huh? You thought it's all cheapline soccer T-shirts for theblagg's start of the weekend? No sir, we stay on the grind and we do our best to deliver. So there you have it, just what you ordered: a Friday Favourites by one of our favourites, DJ Babu of the Dilated Peoples.

theblagg spoke to the master behind the decks while he was on his South African tour. We then went home and watched his iphone-created short films and let's just say Babu was on a cloud nine when making them. Hit up youtube to see what we mean. For now though, don't go anywhere, check out our chat below:

Nike Japan Free Run Music Shoe

Nike Japan has just dropped one of the coolest videos in a while yo. The video features the DJ duo called Hifana doing some sick stuff with running shoes. These guys even use them as samplers - as in beatmaking samplers (NO JOKE YO!!). This showcase took place in Tokyo and we've got it for you right below. Too Dope!! Peep it.

Pledge Your Allegiance

This is not a Broke Phi Broke frat. This is not a cheesy intro. Ahem. This is fratpack all lowercase!) and their take on The Kills' Sour Cherry. Made up of three Vaal Triangle dudes: me, Mr Mr Calibre The Boy With Infinite Skill as well as Hytone (not pictured) the crew has been doing their thing for a bit now. You might have heard of their Far Out Mixtape - or not.

But theblagg is going to make sure you hear their second, as yet untitled, mixtape which is going to hit a site near you on May 27. For now though, enjoy Sour Cherry.

Oh and let us know what you think.

Podcast Put On

An exchange between The Ordinary Girl and "Vaal Triangular Son, To Be Particular" originator X-Rate on an early April morning.

The Ordinary Girl: What is the Nauts and Crosses Podcast II? Do you and producer, Ootz, present or just rap?
X-Rate: It's really songs that didn't make the album [that Ootz and I are working on]. We are just showcasing our work on this podcast...yameen?
T.O.G: So how does it work? Are the songs just played non stop or is the podcast in radio format with breaks in between songs?
X: Well...it's a medley of songs so how it works is that, basically, you can't skip a track because all the songs are presented as one mp3. So you just play the mp3 and you'll find about 14 tracks on it.
T.O.G: What exactly is on the podcast?
X: Those are songs we did just nje! Plus some of the older songs we did in our individual capacity just to show what we do. We feature Zubz, Battlekat, pH, Nthabi, Reason, Eli and more.
T.O.G: The podcast is great but when can we expect a X-Rate and Ootz album?
X: Sooner than soon. Its finished its just admin now...

Uh-huh, we've heard that one before. Download Nauts and Crosses Podcast II for FREE here and here.

And yes, although we know what Brotha X was saying theblagg cannot advocate the use of "yameen" in public or around small animals.
