NEW BUFF1 video "REAL APPEAL" feat. AB - produced by 14KT

WORDS FROM THE HERO

Peace, Man I am Glad I decided to take time away from music to do this HobbyshopHero site. I have so many people around me doing great things it would be an absolute shame not to have such a dope venue to share the things I do with my fanbase & Readers (what up Everyone!)

BUFF1 can not receive enough praise from me. The same goes for 14KT. I swear to (insert ? here) that these cats just cant go wrong. Buff has released 5 solo projects that I am aware of and thats on top of his work with the Almighty AML and There hasn't been one single song that I would consider "FILLER" or Skip (and those who know me know I got A Ichy Trigger Finger for that Fast Forward Button). Same goes for my man 14kt who's production is out of this world. (his Rhymes are super dope as well) When you hear A beat thats 14kt's it is impossible to not recognize. I was absolutely Blessed to have worked with him for one of my most personal tracks to this date "I WANT HER" from my sophomore LP "Crush Your System".

The 14kt produced / Dutchmassive Collaboration "I WANT HER" is now at this very moment among the TOP MOVERS in the magazine URB's NEXT 1000 contest thiny, GO VOTE if you like @t www.URB.com/Vote4Dutch

Needless to say it has been an absolutely breath taking year for the ATHLETIC MIC LEAGUE. Let me breakdown two personal situations I have had recently w/ A-SIDE WORLDWIDE'S catalog.

• After never hearing anything from NOW ON (besides HAIRCUT'S amazing Instrumentals) I Finally got to listen to one of their tracks "The Willows" and was blown away. I then proceeded to listen to the Album "TOMMOROW ALREADY" and it has not left my Walkman for 2 months Strait. I mean, This is one really really dope album from start to finish. I feel like a fool for never taking the time to check out the music which made me realise how many dope albums I must be missing, and how many dope artists have no Idea how much they would love DUTCHMASSIVE due to A Lack of crossing Audible paths...(sigh)

CLICK HERE 2 purchase "Tommorow Already" via i-tunes

• DJ HAIRCUT releases "Just aint Gonna work out" under the Alias MAYOR HAWTHORNE on STONES THROW - and I had no Idea until I had already been using the song as spiritual Aid copeing with a Break up. I had no Idea the Track I was listening to each morning and night was HAIRCUT's ALTER EGO and my man ASTRONOTE on the BEAT (I guess I had this remix for a long time) hahaha.

In Closing I am blessed to be surrounded by such talented and humble cats. I am so proud of Buff for taking the leap of blind faith by leaving his 9 to 5 & following his dream! Imagine if all the albums and songs you love never existed because the artist spent all his or her time working a dead end job and put music on the back burner. Be Sure to SUPPORT the music you Love by purchasing the albums. I dont care if you download ish for Free.... Once you do and you decide that you love that album. Go show that love and support and if you really cant afford the 10 dollars which is complete understandable in these times, then support by putting as many people as you can onto the album and get them to purchase it.

I wanna end this by saying next to "RAIN DANCE", "REAL APPEAL" is my favorite Track off of BUFF's Latest album. So Im glad they chose this for the next video!

I wanna say whatup to STEPHANIE! ESTES - "WHAT UP! STEPH LUVA!" and I wanna Say what up To my man Kendal! "WHAT UP! where's my Replacement Joint? I havent forgotten the loss of once hahaha" PEACE AND ENJOY THE VIDEO!

WORDS FROM THE HERO....






WTF is a Hipster?!? Neo-Soul?!? BackPacker?!? Commercial?!? Battle-Rapper?!?!

"LABELS"

Music defined by the sound? The Lyrics, Beat?... or is it music defined by the style or brand of clothes you wear? Is it a Lifestyle.... From my understanding, Mickey Factz coined the Hipster phrase or at least made it spread more.
But the thing is, and I will make this perfectly Clear. I DONT CARE. PERIOD.
I would never Enjoy a persons music based on they're so called "Swagger" and I would never not like a persons music based on what they do or dont wear.
When Common was in his Mismatched - Badu -Thrift shop phase I thought he looked ....Well (if I dont have anything nice to say..) point is.....Electric Circus AMAZING.
A few months ago Buff & I were speaking on the phone about his new album, some 14Kt Beats, Finale, Rawkus, Pac DIV, U-N-I, And Street Wear......
but Jamal Bufford is not really a fan of the whole "Streetwear" phenomeom. However, I on the other hand Embrace it whole heartedly. Now Buff always was a Fly Gear rocking Rico Suave Super emcee.... Back when The AML crew was Rocking Sweats and Kicks.... =)
I love alot of the styles now, but I understand Buff and why he doesn't feel the Bright Colors, 80's retro, 90's throwback ish..... Is That Hipster?.... Hahaha. The one thing that Buff & I can point out, Pull out, and for the love of god, Do without...Is the Super tight pants on men. Haha
It's perfectly fine to wear normal pants that fit properly, but these skinny tight pants..... oh man... Im spending way to much time on this......So I guess Everything I mentioned was Clothes when trying to depict "Hipster"... Does anyone know any particular Music traits of A so called "HIPSTER". Cus I dont.

Hipster (contemporary subculture)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the late 1990s and during the 2000s, the 1940s slang term hipster was used to describe young, urban middle class and upper class adults with interests in non-mainstream fashion and culture, particularly alternative music, independent rock, independent film, magazines like ViceClash and websites like Pitchfork Media, and organic, vegan, or locally-grown food.^[1] In some contexts, hipsters are also referred to as scenesters.^[2] and

It is difficult to give a precise definition of a hipster, because hipster culture is a "mutating, trans-Atlantic melting pot of styles, tastes and behavior[s]."^[3] One commentator argues that "hipsterism fetishizes the authentic" elements of all of the "fringe movements of the postwar era—Beat, hippie, punk, even grunge," and draws on the "cultural stores of every unmelted ethnicity" and "gay style", and "regurgitates it with a winking inauthenticity" and a sense of irony
