Snoop Dogg Previews "Malice In Wonderland"

S-N-Double O-P...D-O-Double Gizzzzeeeee! "Malice in Wonderland" coming soon...

This is blog post #999. The next post will be blog #1000 for The Real Just! I didn't want post #1000 to be just anything normal though, so I came up with an idea to celebrate 1000 posts. The Real Just was created back in November, so November to August is 10 months. I've decided to make post #1000 the Top 10 Mixtapes of the first 10 months of The Real Just. 10 Months, 10 Mixtapes...Let's GOOOOOO!

The Real Just is also quickly approaching 40,000 hits. WOW!

XV- Everybody's Nobody (Mixtape)

To be completely honest, I've never even heard any of XV's music. I just know that Nah Right, 2 Dope Boyz and my NT fam on Twitter have been talking about this mixtape and that is good enough to peak my interest. Oh, and a Wiz Khalifa feature sealed the deal for me to click the download button.

This is blog post #998, 1 more blog post until the big post for #1000.

Raekwon - House of Flying Daggers

Raekwon feat. Ghostface Killah, Method Man and Inspectah Deck - House of Flying Daggers (Cirty/CDQ)

I'm definitely looking forward to that OB4CL2!

This is blog post # 997, 2 more blog post until the big post for # 1000.

Air Jordan X - Chicago

The Air Jordan Chicago X's are one of the most popular and highly sought after Jordan's. PERIOD. The colorway looks amazing, the 45 on the side is on point and the fact that Jordan Brand is releasing these on top of everything else is just ridiculous. I can't even begin to start but : Chicago X's, Space Jam XI's, True Blue III's and Infared VI's in the matter of less then a year? WOW.

The Real Just Sneaker Grade : Must Cop (no brainer...)

This is post # 996, 3 more blog posts until the big post for # 1000.

Clipse x Kanye x Kinda Like A Big Deal x Live

Clipse and Kany West performed live at Webster Hall in NYC last night. This isn't the highest quality video, but I would never miss an opportunity to post two of my favorite artists. I Can't wait for "Til' the Casket Drops".

This is post # 995, 4 more blog posts until the big post for # 1000.

Air Jordan XI - Retro Space Jam 09' (More Pics)

I don't think it's going to get old to see more and more high quality pictures of the Air Jordan XI Retro Space Jam. I can't believe these are quickstrikes and come out on Black Friday. I bet it's going to take a TON of camping out to get these at most places. I PRAYYYY they make more of these then what the term "quickstrike" refers to...

This is blog post #994, 5 more blog posts until the big post for #1000.

Slaughterhouse - Slaughterhouse (Album)

...And now what everyone has been waiting for!

Drake feat. Saukretes - The Search

I've never heard of this Saukretes guy, but new Drizzy is new Drizzy! I remember when I use to type in Drake in Google images and nothing would come up so I would have to put Drake the rapper. LOL. Props to the kid for coming up heavy in the last six months. NT put me on to Drake a long ass time ago and I'm thankful I was on the bandwagon way before there even was a bandwagon.

Maestro Knows - Episode 2 : Berlin

Clipse feat. Pharrell - Eyes On Me

Clipse feat. Pharrell and Keri Hilson - Eyes on Me

The tracks that keep leaking from "Til The Casket Drops" are sounding real nice and I'm starting to get excited for this release. I saw on Twitter today that they just wrapped up a song with Drake that is suppose to be bananas! I can't wait to hear that...

A Lesson in Bay Area Slang...

100 Bay Area slang in 3 minutes...I think I had heard/said like 95% of the words on this song. LOL.

Props to HipHopUpdate where I spotted this at...

Fly Society - Fly With Us or Lie Beneath Us

Fly Society - Fly With Us or Lie Beneath Us (Mixtape)

This dropped a while back, but I didn't realize Curren$y was all over it, so I didn't download it. Let's be honest...I had heard TK rap a few times before and that wasn't motivating me to waste any space on my Macbook. LOL. I know Fly Society is Spitta's company, but thought this was more of the West Coast crew doing there thing for Terry Kennedy. TK should stick to skateboarding and macking Run's daughters...

Air Jordan XI - Retro Space Jam 09'

I think everyone knows how I feel about the Space Jams. Even more pictures have released and I had to post them...

The Real Just Sneaker Grade: MUST COP OF ALL MUST COP'S

Eminem - The Warning (Mariah and Nick Cannon Diss)

Eminem - The Warning (Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon Diss)

We all knew this was going to happen after Mariah Carey's "Obsessed" video. WOW Em went innnnnn on Mariah and Nick and I got a great feeling by all the references that Eminem has plenty of more material to fuel the fire for more tracks.

Nick Cannon is a herb, how he ever landed Mariah Carey and made a bunch of money off of his crappy music and movies I will never know. I can't front though...Wild'n Out was my SHIT. Why does MTV scrap good shows and replace them with bullshit like "16 and Preganant" "Paris Hilton's BFF" and "True Life" (to name a few)?

Curren$y - 16 Switches (Video "Teaser")

Thiiiissssssss foooollllllllll...peep the hat. LOL.

Where in the hell is that "How Fly" mixtape??!!!??? It's suppose to drop today...waiting.

Wiz Khalifa Previews Tracks off of "How Fly"

Wiz Khalifa went live on Saturday and dropped a few gems off of the "How Fly" mixtape that him and Curren$y will be releasing tomorrow. I listened to maybe half of this stream, but I heard three new songs while I listened (20:00 mark or so and then the 35:00 mark) and they were all FIRE. I haven't been so hyped off a mixtape in as long as I can remember. The waiting game begins...

J. Armz - How To Be An MC Vol. 60 (Mixtape)

Beats, beats and more beats. Aspiring MC? Flowing in your car by yourself? (raises hand! LOL) Just a general lover of good beats? Check this out!

Max B - Public Domain 6 (Mixtape)

I'm a little late posting this up, but I have just caught that wave and I'm riding it into shore. Oh, and in case you didn't know BIGGGGGGGGG MIKEEEEEEEEEEEE!

America's Most Wanted Tour

The America's Most Wanted Tour hits the Bay Area on Saturday 8/15. Lil' Wayne, Drake, Young Jeezy and Soulja Boy will be at the Concord Pavillion and I think I just might have to hit up my first concert in WAY too long. The last two or three times Weezy has been here I have missed it and I just don't think I can deal with that again!

:::Update::: Tickets purchased! Yaaaaaaaaaaa Diggggggggggggggg!

Drake's Live Performance at S.O.B.'s in NY

Air Jordan XII - "Flu Game"

The Air Jordan XII "Flu Game's" are set to re-release again in November with a slightly different look then previous releases. Jordan wore this in the game that he infamously played in with a really bad flu and still managed to score 38 points. 38 represents the points scored, 97 was the year it went down and the sick face is just an added touch (a wack one...) to this classic sneaker. Jordan Brand must of had a ROUGH year last year and beginning of this year because they are releasing some HEAT at the end of this year for the 4Q.

The Real Just Sneaker Grade : Must Cop

I don't know if any true Jordan fan could possibly forget the image from the "Flu Game" in the 1997 NBA Finals when Scottie Pippen basically had to carry Michael off the court. Chills just looking at this pic...

Jay-Z - Run This Town (Instrumental)

Jay - Z - Run This Town (Instrumental)

Closed Session with Curren$y (Rapper Weed)

Lil' Wayne - Million Dollar Baby

Lil' Wayne - Million Dollar Baby (Full/No DJ) (prod. Just Blaze)

Weezy F and Just Blaze? What more can you ask for?

24 more blog posts to hit that 1000 mark...I'm starting to think of a few ideas, but I want to make it something dope. Stay tuned...

Air Jordan I Retro High Black Ostrich

With all the Jordan I's released in the past two years it is hard to get excited about any colorway that isn't an original. Throughout the crap though, I have seen a few pairs I have really liked over the past few months and the "Black Ostrich" is high on that list. I have always loved my all black J's and they often turn in to my every day, go to the grocery store, walk around the neighborhood or pick up dinner type of kicks. I could see these fitting that profile. I doubt I'll cop since there is a ridiculous amount of crazy kicks coming out this year, but it's not because I'm not feeling these.

The Real Just Sneaker Grade : On the Fence

Got Beats?

J. Armz - How To Be An MC Vol. 1 (66 Biggie Beats!)

There's been 58 "How To Be An MC" mixtapes that have dropped since this one, but this is a re-issue with a ton of dope Notorious B.I.G. beats on it.

Gatorade Limited Edition : Jordan Series

Jordan x 14,641 bottles of Gatorade...

Wale feat. Gucci Mane - Pretty Girls

Interesting collabo for Wale, but Gucci Mane is getting a lot of attention on the internet so this is probably a good move. Maybe Wale is looking to regain some of his credit from the NT fam by putting NT's favorite artist on his track?

Michael Vick Conditionally Reinstated to the NFL

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has conditionally reinstated QB Michael Vick today, which will allow him to participate in team practices and meetings, but not games. Goodell said he would consider Vick for full reinstatement by Week 6 of this year's NFL season (October 18th). Vick was suspended from the NFL after admitting his involvement in a dog fighting ring in 2007, which he served 23 months in prison for. The Atlanta Falcons have relinquished their contractual rights with him and he is free to sign with any team.

::: Don't get any ideas Al Davis! :::

Maestro Knows - Episode 1 : Bread and Butter

The start of Season 2 for Maestro begins in Berlin, Germany. Homeboy has been on his travel game touring all over the US and now in Europe for Season 2. Stay tuned for more pointless videos that I still wonder why I watch. LOL.

Maestro Knows - Season Two (Intro)

Air Jordan XXV

The first official sketches of the design of the Air Jordan XXV have surfaced to the public. The Jordan XXV takes inspiration from the Jordan II, XI and XXIII. It looks like Jordan smartened up and ditched the whole "Jordan 2009" idea they had for the "XXIV's" since I'm sure not a lot of people dropped nearly $200 after tax for a shoe that looked and was named like it was a Team Jordan. Although no colors, materials or official pictures have released yet, I have a feeling that the XXV might end up looking pretty legit. Only time will tell...

Big Sean - Getcha Some (Video)

This is one of my favorite Big Sean's tracks off of the "UKNOWBIGSEAN" mixtape. Stay tuned for Finally Famous"...hopefully dropping this year.

Kuroshio Sea

This is the second largest aquarium tank in the whole word. Fricking INCREDIBLE! The song is "Please Don't Go" by Barcelona.

50 on Entourage...

I thought for sure this fool 50 would get longer then a 10 second feature on the show tonight, but I guess not. WOWWWWWWW at the Phantom drop...

BTW...WHAT THE FUCK is up with the guy at the end of this clip? Where in the hell did they find this bum at?

Taking Back Sunday - New Again (Album)

This is another album that is not the typical Just listening material, but works with my rock vibe of the night. Wifey recommended it, so I thought I'd check it out.

Gucci Mane - Gangsta Grillz: The Movie Part 2

Gucci Mane and DJ Drama Present Gangsta Grillz : The Movie Part 2

This mixtape dropped last week but the only links I could find for it went straight into downloading (and wouldn't let me cut and paste it). I could always zShare it, but usually that requires too much work and time went I don't care that much. LOL. Here is a zShare link for someone who isn't as lazy as me when it comes to these things...

Thom Yorke - The Eraser (Album)

I'm in a weird mood, sick of rap right now (probably for tonight only...LOL) and Kanye gives Thom Yorke from Radiohead the ultimate co-sign, so I figured it was worth it to do a little investigative work to find a download link to this album from 2006. I found it and the link works, so check it out.

BTW I'm listening to these Peter Bjorn and John album's I downloaded a few weeks ago and I got to say I am totally feeling both of them. Check out my "Take Yourself to School: Peter Bjorn and John" post if you haven't yet...

Nike Air Trainer II - Tecmo Bo

One of my favorite video games of all time and one of my favorite football players of all time are the inspiration for this Nike Air Trainer II "Tecmo Bo". Two Raiders colorways and props to the legend Bo Jackson mean that these will be a hit with Raiders fans across the nation. These were suppose to release next week, but are popping up in sneaker boutiques already. All my Cali heads better act quick before these all get scooped up!

2Pac - Unreleased Material!

2Pac feat. Snoop Doggy Dogg - If There's A Cure (I Don't Want It)

2Pac feat. The Outlawz - War Gamez (a capella)

These are two tracks that were previously unreleased from the late great 2 Pac. I'm pretty sure these have been on previous albums and leaks but with a different beat plus a random artist that Pac would of never worked with. SMH.

You gotta love the "Snoop Doggy Dogg" reference before he had dropped the Doggy from his name...

Kanye West : Live @ Chicago Theatre

There were ad's all over the place for this on most of my favorite music blogs, so I'm sure that Kanye's performance at the Chicago Theatre was watched by a ton of people last night. This is the whole performance sponsored by Fuse in it's entirety: Flashing Lights, Through the Wire, Put On, Hey Mama, Jesus Walks, Heartless, Pinnochio Story and Touch the Sky. Yeezy!

Boaz - "Hustler" (Video)

My homie put me on to Boaz almost a year go (what up Trot!) but I haven't given him too much attention on here as of yet. It's funny how shit comes full circle sometimes and now I'm receiving e-mails from Boaz's street team/manager/etc with info to post on the blog. This track is off of Boaz's album "The Audio Biography".

A lot of talent coming out of Pittsburgh, PA...word to Wiz Khalifa and Kev Tha Hustla.

Mike Posner and Big Sean Live at S.O.B.'s

Mike Posner ad Big Sean perform "Cooler Then Me" one of my favorite tracks off of "A Matter of Time". I'm loving that Mike Posner is getting more attention lately, so hopefully his buzz will keep up and his mixtape will drop sooner then later.
