When OB4CLII dropped, one of the stand out tracks was the ode to Ason Jones better known as Ol’ Dirty Bastard. Almost a year after the albums release Raekwon took it upon himself to commemorate his fallen comrade by making this song his next single. The Deluxe edition of OB4CLII is available now on iTunes
Yes I posted the bootleg in all its glory before, but here is the real official straight from AMC version. Look for the show to premiere Halloween night at 10pm. Could be a classic.
Five Day Weekend and Traffic Entertainment are proud to announce the upcoming DVD release of 80 Blocks From Tiffany’s, director Gary Weis’ 1979 documentary about the South Bronx and its gang culture. The previously unavailable film will be released in the Fall of 2010, the first time it has been offered to the public in decades, and will be accompanied by a handful of exciting bonus features.
80 Blocks From Tiffany’s is a look into the late seventies gang culture that will show you a side of New York pretty much unseen except by the people who lived it. I’m copping the DVD the moment it drops, and if my recommendation isn’t good enough for you then hit the jump for more information on this amazing project.
If you aren’t already a viewer you should definitely check it on Cartoon Network‘s Adult Swim programming block. Anyone who grew up reading comic books or with cartoons like Jonny Quest and G.I. Joe will appreciate how Venture Bros. subverts the foundation of those shows and ramps the smart-assery up to 15, plus the spot-on comedy helps.
