Freestyle Session x Inglorious Basterds


So this passed Sunday I attended the annual event, Freestyle Session in downtown LA.
I did not attend the first day because usually those are just for the people wanting to battle in the prelims and since I was not entering I just decided to watch the Top 16 the following day.
So I rode with Mike and we get there around 1ish. Compared to FSS10 the venue was a lot smaller. We came in and watched a few cyphers but mainly waited for the battles to start. Got a pretty dope spot where I could see everything.
When I heard about the Top 16 I was pretty disappointed. A lot of no shows came up. I was so psyched to see Jinjo and Rivers come around but they ended up not coming at all...FUCKING GOOKS! ^_^ THAT'S AN ANGRY ASIAN FACE FOR YOU!
The Top 16 crew list was eh...I don't know how some crews managed to get through the next round but I guess the majority of crews that entered didn't do well during the prelims..*shrug* I can't say much because I didn't attend first day.
But sources tell me 1st day was pretty lame.
Real treat was seeing Funky Masons and Hustle Kids..dope crews. Muh fuckin' Kleju...is short!
Top 8 battles were better because each crew was pretty nasty.
Killafornia vs. Funky Masons was fuckin' craaazy. Remind is still on his shit.
Anyway just chilled most of the jam, watched the battles, bought some FOOOOOOOAAAAMMMMM HATS!!! cause I'm such a beeeeeeeeeee-boy and went after to JJ's! O_O
Highlights of the jam: Jalen vs. Lil Demon...fuckin' sick ass battle. Them kids are unnecessarily good..especially Lil Demon. Like 9 rounds non stop, pure power..amazing.
Do Knock's backflip...if you were there...you know.
Funky Masons, Hustle Kids, Formosa Crew was pretty dope.
Squadron came with it, nasty lineup. Props to them for taking it this year...once again USA prevails at FSS...

ANYWAY! After the jam..me, Mike, and Blaine went to JJ's and Nes, Krys, Tony and Vanessa met up with us. Good laughs HAHAHA O_O
Then we watched Inglorious Basterds...

a movie I've been waiting to see for a while.
AND boy let me tell you! It was pretty darn dope.
First of all let me just say..you must be a fan of Quentin Tarantino movies to enjoy a movie such as this. If you're not into heavy dialogue then don't watch it.
I saw two fat guys in front of me snoozin' away during the movie...
What can you expect from a QT movie..of course there's going to be intriguing dialogue that reveals characters' backgrounds within 5 minutes of their screen time than other full length movies that fail to do so.
Brad Pitt was a funny and enjoyable character but Christoph Waltz stole the show as the leading villain. I got goosebumps during his scenes because he was somewhat of a creepy individual but somehow hides his devious traits.
He's probably my favorite character from the movie...
Overall an enjoyable experience with lots of subtle humor thrown in here and there. If you complain it's boring then you're not listening...LISTEN TO THE MUSIC! >.>


..Yeah.

DISTRICT 9


So I just watched District 9 and I went in with mixed feelings about what to expect from this movie.
First and foremost let me just say that this was movie was awesome! I heard a lot of mixed reviews surrounding the film; some saying it was amazing and others stating the opposite.
I didn’t want to hype myself up and expect too much from this film because I personally feel once you do that...the movie will never satisfy your high standards.
The first half of the film opens up like a documentary but naturally transitions into a feature film.
The movie is centered on actor, Sharlto Copley who in my opinion did a tremendous job portraying his character Wikus Van De Merwe. He conveyed so many emotions throughout the film and developed his character from being a wimp to a believable badass. It’s also dope because this is his first feature film...
DO NOT expect a typical aliens trying to take over the world plot. The story is unique and offers a different perspective as to what humans would really do if aliens encountered our world.
While the first half is interesting it did move slowly but it really built up to the second half of the movie where the action grew bigger and bigger.
The CGI was amazing and the designs of the aliens were vivid and creative. The aliens also conveyed many emotions that you sympathize for their cause.
The alien weapons were dope as hell especially the Half Life gravity gun...the action scenes made me yell "OOOH!!!" repeatedly. I like the scene where the guy exploded..
While I was somewhat disappointed by the ending I was still satisfied with the outcome. The conclusion was very open ended and I wouldn’t be surprised if a sequel was in the works because I feel there could have been more to explain.
But overall it was a very enjoyable movie and probably one of the best summer films to come out in 2009.

Watch it.

WHERE IS YO MASTA!

So what's been going on lately?
Pretty much the routine cycle of work, practice, and hanging out with the homies and ladyfriend. Sometimes I wish it could stay like that buuuut school draws closer as the days go by =[
I want to practice as much as I can before school starts because I know once it does it's going to take up more of my time. Of course I'm still going to find time to practice but just not as much time..
Oh well...it comes with the struggle.
I'm actually pretty excited for Freestyle Session 12th Anniversary...

It's actually the 11th FSS buuuut whatever. It's coming fast and I just saw the crew list and dang does it look promising. Crews from Korea, France, Poland, etc. all coming down.
I'm only attending 2nd day because of budget issues and I'm not battling so I'm just gonna watch the battles. Hope it's gonna be ill.
Time to buy lots of FOOOOOOOOOOOAM HATS!!! and....SPPPPIIIIIINNNNNNN BEEEEANIES!!!...and BEEEEEEEEE-BOY OR DIIIIIIIIEEEEEE SHHHIIIIIRTS! hahaha
