Wu-Tang Clan & Jimi Hendrix - Black Gold Mixtape ...

Wu-Tang & Jimi Hendrix - Black Gold - Tom Caruana


We never believed that somebody will try to do it ...

Seriously, I never believed that somebody will try to make a mixtape and use Jimi Hendrix tracks ... this smelled always for me like a profanation, but wait a minute ??

Jimi Hendrix Tracks, genius of guitar, voodoo child, one of greatest live performers of our times + Wu-Tang Clan, Hip-Hop supergroup from New York which literately changed the rap game with their rhymes, flow, technique, and lyrics ... ok this might work ... but there's one more problem, who made it ??? ... If Dr. Dre or DJ Premier would be the ones who released it I wouldn't worry but Tom Caruana, doesn't tell me nothing ???

So I went to check hwho the hell is Tom Caruana ... and I still don't know I know only that he is hip-hop producer and he is a Member of Tea Sea Records he is from UK, and that he is releasing some tracks and I think one album but I didn't check very well, and really couldn't wait to check what he done to Jimi's tracks. Sorry Tom, I Promise I will check your tracks after I will finish to write this post ... you know man, you released something that can be a bomb so I was more interested in your work than you at the moment.

And Beginning is positive straight away I felt that this is Wu-Tang Clan & Jimi Hendrix Mixtape not opposite, but still for me as a fanatic fan of Jimi Hendrix and big fan of Wu-Tang Clan it really sound great, especially that the man who made it is more or less anonymous.Of course some of tracks are not really good, but we are receiving 26 tracks, and number of crap ones is maybe 4 ... especially part of Hendrix's "Little Wing" in track called "Tooken Back" shouldn't be remixed in this way.

The rest is good or very good, the tracks that really impressed me are ( For 2 of them we will give you YouTube Links ) :

2. House Of Flying Daggers
6. Last Call
8. The Wind Cries Mary

13.Hey Joe

19. Dirty Fox
23. Street Rap
25. What's Happenin (Perfect mix of Hendrix's "Crosstown Traffic" and Method Man's "What's Happenin")
26.The Hood

In overall I give to that album 8/10, Tom Caruana took very hard test and he passed it, every hip-hop fan will find something for himself on this album, but if you're fan of Jimi Hendrix remember that here Wu-Tang is priority,and guitar and some guitar solo's are only appearing as a samples. Hope you guys will enjoy listening same as we did while street poets from Wu-Tang we're talking to our stoned heads to the accompaniment of Jimi Hendrix ... roll it, smoke it, listen to it, and comment it.

Here is link to LiveMixtapes website where you can listen to whole mixtape by using livestream or download it for free to your hard drive.

Let's talk a bit about basketball ...

I woke up today in the morning, roll one "paperplane" , and decided to check out what's happening on YouTube, and what I found there absolutely made me laugh, but in the same time think about one team from NBA.

You see I'm not a big fan of Boston Celtics, I have respect for all that they done in history by winning soo many championships, I really like Larry Bird (It's funny that when you think about Celtics, you think in same time about Larry Bird ), and I respect New Big Three for things like on video under :



Guy who made that video done brilliant job, and he deserve ovation.

But problem is ... I just don't like that team, and that's it (I will not tell you which team I support in NBA, cause this doesn't matter)

Enough let's get to the point ... watch this video ...



And maybe I'm smoked but, when I seen that video I realized that Boston Celtics it's more than just a team ... this crazy guy which was dancing over there was so happy most probably because they were winning, what's most funny rest of people were enjoying that, and all of that happiness under Bon Jovi's hit record soundtrack. I will not change my mind about Boston, but now I see that they are brilliant institution which is working hard to satisfy everybody around, especially fans, and from what I know that's what is all about in what we call modern sport

By the way It's shame that this person didn't wore a Boston jersey, then they could use that video for online marketing purposes, I believe it would work perfect, cause after what I've seen I just wanted to be on that match.

MTV VMA 2011 - That's what I call performance of XXI century ...

Chris Brown MTV VMA 2011 performance last Sunday was absolutely brilliant.

It's funny how after his incident with Rhianna this boy put his career back to the right track, most of the people think that he was lucky with two number which were played in the radio, but unfortunately true is little bit different, Chris went trough massive change as a artist, and proof of that everbody could see on this year VMA's

At Sunday night, according to me Brown made best live performance since Michael Jackson times, he started with his worldwide hit track "3 X Yeah" , after that he paid homage to music legends , Wu-Tang Clan by performing "Protect Ya Neck" with genius ODB hook in background, and chorus from Nirvana "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

After moving us back to 1993 and 1991 Chris is taking us to the future by performing "Beautiful People" , and then the real show started, Chris Brown made some incredible acrobatics in the air while he was flying above stunned crowd and all of that was implemented in brilliant choreography.We don't know for how long Chris was training all this dancing moves, but effect was worth of whatever sacrifice he made.

After the performance whole audience get mental, started to shout, and give standing ovation ... Kanye West, and Kid Cudi couldn't sit to the end of show,and stood up before Chris finished singing his last track (well maybe singing is little bit too much said), and as we know Kanye is not very often giving an ovation to other artists ... only Jay-Z wasn't really happy about all that situation, but all of us know reasons why, only thing he said after Brown's show was that he is not impressed, what's most funny we heard that already in similar funny situation in ... UFC , when Goerges St-Pierre said he is not impressed by performance of Mat Hughes after he won champion belt, which sounded funny and ridiculous at the moment.



OK let's be true, Chris done wrong thing with Jay's protegee but this performance deserves respect of everyone ... but maybe Jay-Z just don't know how to dance, so it would explain everything

Video in HD quality is available under soo ... smoke a blunt and enjoy, as it's according to me pure pleasure to watch something like this:
