Kurious – Toca Tuesday Freestyle
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009Curren$y & RubyHornet – Rapper Weed
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009Closed Session w/Curren$y: “Rapper Weed” from Ruby Hornet.
Closed Session is the newest addition to the RubyHornet content machine. The premise is simple, we teamed up with SoundScape studios, Chicago’s premier recording studio and provide artists with beats from Chicago’s top producers, give them an atmosphere tailored to their needs, get out of their way, and let them create. What we are left with is footage of the artist recording on their terms, as well as dope new music.
Each artist has a different process for recording, and for Curren$y we shut the studio down, told everyone to leave, and turned the lights low. We only went through a few Tony Baines’ beats before Curren$y found the winner. He vibed with the instrumental for a couple minutes before reaching for pen and paper, and some other kind of paper, and then entered his zone. For many
artists, ‘I don’t write my rhymes’ is their favorite phrase, but we found the opposite to be true for Curren$y. Close ups of his rhyme sheet reveal cross outs, and rewrites, and he would scribble, recite, revise until he found exactly what he was looking for. After a few short hours he entered the booth, meticulously recording in a similiar fashion. Shortly thereafter, “Rapper Weed” was born.
We released the song last week, get it below, now check out the video. Also look for the next Closed Session featuring Truck North and Big Pooh to premiere soon.

DVD Review: Watchmen
Friday, July 24th, 2009Rating: 3 out of 5
Synopsis: Set in an alternate 1985, where Nixon is still president and threat of nuclear war is palpable, an ex-superhero is mysteriously killed and a masked vigilante, Rorschach (Haley), sets out to solve the murder. Rorschach, and the rest of his superhero comrades known as the Watchmen, soon realizes that this particular crime may be a part of a scheme to rid the world of all masked heroes.
DVD Release Date: July 21, 2009 Trailer: Click Here
Purchase DVD: Amazon.com Rent DVD: Netflix.com
Director: Zack Snyder Starring: Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Jackie Earle Haley
Rating: R (for strong graphic violence, sexuality, nudity, and language)
Genre: Action/Adventure
Review: Apparently, Watchmen was a graphic novel before it became a movie and had a huge fan base. After watching the film adaptation, I don’t really understand what all of the hype was about. The movie had its moments of greatness, specifically when Rorschach (Haley) is doing anything on screen. I would have been more satisfied if the film was just an hour and a half of him taking care of criminals with his “vigilante” methods. Haley did a great job portraying the masked hero whose idea of justice is to butcher his criminal victims. All of the other characters in the film were pretty much forgettable and their side stories were not interesting. Another issue with Watchmen was that it is 2 hours and 40 minutes long. This is completely and utterly unnecessary. Granted, the visuals were spectacular and the idea of having a dark and disturbing superhero movie is appealing, but it did not have to be as long as it was. Watchmen is now available on Blu-ray and DVD.
