TYGA, The Throwbacks & Rapper Steph

Today I made a friend go to a concert for a guy he didn't really feel: Tyga. He's not a really well known rapper, but he does have some connections.

Tyga's Labels:
Decaydance: FOB (Founder: Pete Wentz), Gym Class Heroes, etc.
Young Money: Lil Wayne (founder), Dizzy, etc.
G.E.D Inc.: Website

The opening act was fun. But Tyga brought over his own crew from G.E.D. We watched them open & they were pretty cool too. We left soon after Tyga came out- after a long, drawn out introduction. He did one song, and we concluded he was just full of hot air and left during his second song. I'm not saying that he's arrogant or anything, but that's really the vibe he came out with.

Rapper Steph was awesome though, her songs were politically inspired and something out of the ordinary. The throwbacks were just fun people to to watch, they were dynamic and full of energy. Hey, even though we stuck around for the opening act, we still has some fun.

The Throwbacks:

As for Tyga, well, like I said before, we didn't stick around to see what he offered. But I can say she shows some sort of promise (I think he's a funny kid), we'll see in his next album. I'm not going to post a vid on him cause, well, I dunno which one to put up. Also, he'll probably be more appealing if he rapped about more mature things. But hey, he's only 17.

---Edit.
So my friend went to the concert after I left, and she told me he was really nice and personable....damn. Guess I was wrong about him? Guess I'll never find out.

What would you do for Earth Day?


Yesterday's Daily Dig asked readers to tell them what would they do to celebrate Earth Day. The winner gets 20 pounds of Books! Of course I didn't win but...my answer was mentioned in the email lololol :) Which one would Winnie Say?


But anyways, what I really did was recycle some old cargo pants into a bracelet, and other thingies as well, I would post that later.

Anime Obscureness: Saiyuki

Guess that I found on the "Show" list on YouTube?
(Squeals! Top left clockwise: Sanzo: the serious priest , Hakkai: the motherly figure, Gojyo: the smoker, and ladies man, Goku: the happy, hungry kid)

This is the first anime I ever watched knowing that it was an anime-japanimation--whatever you want to call it. And even though I'm trying not to draw anime things as often, Saiyuki is one of my BIGGEST sources of inspiration I had, just because the style was so different, at least for the more older male and female characters. (Notice how in other animes, you cant tell if someone is 16~37 years of age?)

Anyways- the show got a little more cornball to me: Redhead and Monkeyboy fight, demon comes, flashback, victory, off to the west. The show is 50 episodes long, but does it need that many? 30 would be enough, really. At least it's not Inuyasha long. (shudder)

Still awesome.

And the comic relief, although it feels like there may be too much, is nice. The anime is not intended to be too serious- sometimes characters pick on each other for the way they are drawn, like Gojyo and his wierd antenna hairs. And for some reason, when the show does go down a very serious path, you cannot help but miss the show's little corny jokes.

Also, if you are a girl, there is quite a bit of eye candy, and potental yaoi moments. oolala.


Oh, and female characters are okay and fun too like the merciful goddess (too lazy to find a pic of her)...wait, damn, she don't count as a girl really--she's a hemanphrodite. Oh well, anyways, all FEMINIME characters have huge boobs. Why? I dernos. I don't seem to get it. Probably to draw more attention to them. I mean, all the guys are soo pretty.
