Vote Yes On Prop 19 :: Twelve Songs About Weed

Tomorrow, California residents will take to the polls and push the lever on a historic ballot initative, Prop 19, that could legalise the sale, possesion and taxation of marijuana for personal use for anyone over the age of 21.

2 Mo’ Gin: Reef The Lost Cauze “OPG Theme”/J-Swift “I’ll Do Mine” (MP3)

Nice Pair 

Last night in Philly, Prince Paul was on the wheels at a shi-shi spot, only 5 bones before 11. Sorta made me sad for us aging heads, the man that DJ’ed for Stetsasonic, brought us De La Soul, tutored 3rd Bass and helped turn the phrase Dan The Automator into something of a household name through the legendary Handsome Boy Modeling School project (has anyone heard from Dan lately?), had been reduced to rocking for a buncha Rittenhouse drunktards and deluded musician types (myself included). I guess money is money, dough.

That self-indulgence aside, I must pass along another couple of joints to check for, the first accompanied by another anecdote that all four of my readers have come to expect and revile. I don’t have satellite radio in the car but my fancy friends do; I consider it a treat …

Delicious Vinyl DJ for iPhone (MP3)

Legendary Los Angeles-based hip-hop label Delicious Vinyl has just yielded their first iPhone app with Delicious Vinyl DJ. This dope application allows you to scratch and mix some of the label’s freshest classics including Pharcyde’s “Passin’ Me By” and Tone Loc and Peaches’ rendition of “Wild Thing.” However, no “Sittin’ on Chrome”; what’s up with that?

Nonetheless, run to the fridge to grab a Heineken and pretend it was complimentary, provided by the club for your prowess on the ones and twos, then download Delicious Vinyl DJ and earn that beer.
