one of those unpopular aspects of life that today’s generation tends to avoid. Talent and skill are important, but what often separates excellent from
average is the willingness to work harder. A great deal of artists and
athletes share this character flaw. They
just do not have the ass power as Quincy Jones once eloquently said, when
describing the one thing that Michael Jackson had that other artists lacked. The ability to sit there, working from beginning until end, and see things
through.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Arriving on the scene in 2008 with his first
in the series of four mix tapes “<i>Inhale Part 1</i>,” The Boy Illinois has
remained persistent. In 2012, he released “<i>The Memoirs of Gilbert
Gaston</i>.” The project garnered acclaim and was widely well received.
Currently he is on the road promoting his latest release entitled,
"<i>Jean Baptiste</i>." Upside of Down caught up with The
Boy Illinois on a busy night which included a video shoot and a car accident.
Looking slightly fatigued as he takes his spot on set, The Boy Illinois
immediately snaps into form and sheds all signs of wear once the camera starts
rolling. Hey, all in a days work.</span></div>

The current landscape of rap, which serves as the chief mode
of communication for the hip-hop culture, is over saturated with stagnant
typecasts. That is why Twone Gabz’s
vicarious portrayal of Malcolm X stands out. Over a track produced by Xcel, Gabz
illustrates the vicious cycle of poverty and destruction being conquered
through mental revolution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During these
times, it is not often that the consumer finds an asserted dose of
consciousness, injected into the culture. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It’s a moderately warm day in Chicago’s historic
Hyde Park neighborhood. Dave Jeff is
making the rounds at his newly reopened Phli store. Dj Broadway Streetz is on the 1’s and 2’s and
a steady stream of traffic is flowing in and out of the building. Most of the people are here to survey the
layout of the new store and others have come to pay respect to Dave the
unofficial godfather of Hyde Park. A
small circle has formed at the entrance of the store and Dj Broadway leaves his
post behind the tables to personally greet the young man wearing the Atlanta
Braves hat. “ What’s up Skooda.” is
followed by several handshakes.The Get Money Gang signee apologizes to the waiting
crew and blames the combination of rush hour traffic and a construction project for his tardiness. Settling into the plush white leather couch, Skooda makes a slight
adjustment to his shirt.He tells the show producer that he
is ready to start the interview. The
last few weeks have been a blur for the young K- Town emcee. Filming music videos (5 to date), sandwich between
all day studio sessions has become the norm. Today Skooda Chose takes a break from the
regime for a Q & A with Wayne MT.</span><br />

York Sun Editor Charles A. Dana once labeled Chicago the Windy City in response
to the heavy boasting Chicago official’s dished out after snagging the World’s
Fair of 1893. In 1985, a little more
then 100 years later, members of the Chicago Bears entered a recording studio
and left with a catchy tune entitled <b>Super Bowl Shuffle</b>. The rapping Bears made clear their intentions. “<i>We’re not here to start no trouble, we’re
just here to do the Super Bowl Shuffle</i>.”
Can you imagine the thoughts running through the other locker rooms? Releasing the song during the regular NFL
season with a record of 12 and 1, the team had not played a playoff game but
they were already shuffling with the Lombardi Trophy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">20 years ago on the last day of school, I made a trade with my classmate Quentin Russell. Big Que, which I called him due to his physical statue, and I made several transactions over the course of the school year involving various Nintendo cartridges and trading cards.<br /><br />I was attempting to get him for a special diamond edition Bo Jackson Two Sport Upper Deck card on this particular swap. Quentin didn’t bring the card that day but he did bring a cassette tape that would impact me far more then the Bo Jackson card ever did. On that last day of school, just minutes before the bell rung to start the summer of 1989, for the price of a slightly used copy of N.W.A and The Posse. I in exchange received a slightly used copy of 3 Feet High and Rising.<br /><br />20 Years later, 3 Feet High and Rising has come full circle as De La Soul preps for the re-release of the album and an anniversary tour to commemorate all things of the soul. Upside of Down News got the chance to talk with the Plugs about life on the road, Tommy Boy Records, a new Nike release and of course 20 years of tuning in.</span><object height="300" width="400"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=4436074&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=4436074&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br />

The Bulls guard captured 3 Rookie of the month accolades during the regular season and averaged 16.8 points to go along with 6.3 assist and 3.9 rebounds per game.<br />Rose stated during this afternoon’s press conference that “coming into the season, my biggest thing was to get this award, it show’s how much effort you put into it.”<br /><br />Rose joins a short list of point guards selected number one overall to also win the Rookie of the Year award. Oscar Robertson and Allen Iverson are the only other guards to do so.<br />D-Rose thanked the Bulls organization, for bringing in veteran guard Lindsey Hunter, and credited team captain Kirk Hinrinch for helping him with the pro game transition.<br /><br />After winning two consecutive State Championships at Simeon Career Academy and leading the University of Memphis to the National Title game last year it was no surprise to hear the humble Rose state that “I just wanted to go out and play hard and get it from winning, I know that the Bulls’ pushed for me to get the award by voting and stuff like that but It wouldn’t feel right if I wasn’t winning."<br /><br />The Bulls are currently engaged in a first round battle with the Boston Celtics. Chicago won the first game in Boston heavily due to the 36 points scored by Rose. The 36-point performance by the Bulls rookie guard tied Kareem Abdul Jabbar for most points by a rookie in a playoff debut. Game three is scheduled for Thursday April 23 in Chicago. The series is currently tied at 1-1.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136177776110180975.post-74297815504575948572009-04-15T10:40:00.000-07:002013-02-15T14:50:44.422-08:00Chicago legend set to coach at Florida International University<em><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana;">Zeek inks 5 year Deal</span></em><br />

Thomas is set to head the Panther’s men’s basketball team, which compiled a total of 13 conference victories over the last two seasons. In a press conference held at the University, Thomas acknowledged the turbulent times still ahead stating, “ That if we go from one to six to fast, you may miss something”. After losing only four seniors from last year’s team Isaiah will inherit a fairly young FIU squad. The new coach plans on building the team up piece by piece and into a consistent winner. Zeek led the NBA Indiana Pacers to 3 playoff berths before being replaced by former rival GM Larry Bird who elected to hire Rick Carlisle for the 2004-2005 NBA campaign. Thomas resurfaced in New York as Team President Head of Basket Ball Operations and Head Coach. He handpicked what would turn out to be some of the poorest performing teams in franchise history. Plagued by lawsuits, public feuds with players and the eventual loss of owner support Thomas was giving the pink slip at the end of the 2007-2008 seasons. </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136177776110180975.post-83735825147848894582009-03-25T10:04:00.000-07:002013-02-15T14:51:06.599-08:00<span style="color: #cc6600;">FOLLOW MY LEAD</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;">So last night I was reading the Chicago Tribune online and I came across an article that said, as of the summer of 2009 the Sears Tower will be known as the Willis Tower. My first question was why would you do that? My next question was, who the hell is Willis and who gave them the nod of approval to fiddle with a Chicago icon?<br /><br />Apparently the Willis Holding Group is a huge insurance broker based out of London who recently rented out space in the Sears Tower. According to the Tribune article The Willis Holding Group will be giving the namesake to the historic landmark at no additional cost.<br /></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136177776110180975.post-27134935569719705642009-03-09T09:25:00.000-07:002013-02-15T14:51:44.147-08:00Only the Strong survive<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvbtqAr8vVhFpwOt6BVVjzIpxMO4WHZMPzcGITUuBxrDAXnscrhwHqLXBIzEUgi8MAUeAvQfNB9YNImvGeBGDIRNG4X45evDrNoyrWf4OUBwz1Tqa1ixj1YIs1yC3v-k7W7yA0yklfnMFk/s1600-h/mikkey_halsted+copy.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332413381094172578" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvbtqAr8vVhFpwOt6BVVjzIpxMO4WHZMPzcGITUuBxrDAXnscrhwHqLXBIzEUgi8MAUeAvQfNB9YNImvGeBGDIRNG4X45evDrNoyrWf4OUBwz1Tqa1ixj1YIs1yC3v-k7W7yA0yklfnMFk/s320/mikkey_halsted+copy.jpg" style="cursor: hand; float: left; height: 265px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 177px;" /></a> <span style="color: #999999;">Mikkey Halsted is definitely a family guy.

If the Plan is successful the music labels will siphon in a stream of desperately needed revenue for copyright holders. Jim Griffin President of <em>Choruss</em> defined <em>Choruss</em>, as a “learning experience that will promote music” and capitalize on the widespread usage of music online.</span><br />

Okay, I did not personally witness any emcees retire but the ones who remained in the building didn’t want the mic back.

<span style="color: #999999;">NBA Great Norm Van L<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">ier</span></span> was found unresponsive in his Chicago’s west side home Thursday February 26<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">th</span></span>. Van <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Lier</span></span> a third round selection of the Chicago Bulls in 1969 flourished on the prep level winning a Pennsylvania state championship in basketball in 1965. The small-framed Van <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Lier</span></span> played the game at a level that far out stretched his 6’1 physique. Known as a defensive specialist Van L<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">ier</span></span> also dished the ball well leading the league in assist in 1971. After being traded from a Cincinnati Royals team that was coached by Bob <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Cousy</span></span> and included Hall of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Famer's</span></span> Oscar Robinson and Nate Tiny Archibald, Van L<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">ier</span></span> found him self back with the team that originally drafted him in 1969. Van L<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">ier</span></span> was traded from Chicago to the Royals immediately following the 1969 draft. Norm made his first appearance as a bull in 1971.<br /><br />As a Bull Van <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Lier</span></span> solidified a back court that included storied Utah Jazz Coach Jerry Sloan. The two incorporated a style of basketball, which personified the meaning of scrappy defensive intensity. Norm had his best years while with the Bulls and was selected to three NBA All Star games and three 1st all defensive teams.<br /><br />As an analyst Van <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Lier</span></span> was known to speak bluntly and frank when it came to upholding the integrity and performance of the team he played nearly seven years for. Often time’s viewers at home were amused or either rubbed the wrong way by <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Stormin</span></span> Norm's point of view. But one thing was always understood.

Wiz was fresh off of a show at Chicago’s Abbey Pub with fellow L-town chum Que Billah and Houston’s Devin the Dude. The west side emcee unveiled to the Upside of Down crew his new moniker Phat boy Fresh and talked about the possible origins of the cult slang word Whaadown.</span> </span><br />

Why Noch???<br /></span>The Bulls pulled the trigger on a major deal sending fan favorite Andres Nocioni to the Sacramento Kings along with often-injured forward Drew Gooden. The seldom dressed Michael Ruffin and Cedric Simmons were also part of the deal. In return the Bulls will receive former all- star center Brad Miller and swing man John Salmons who averaged 18 points a game with the Kings.<br />
The Bulls were not done. Later on they shipped the steady yet rarely used two guard Larry Hughes to the Knicks in exchange for Tim Thomas, Jerome James and Anthony Roberson. With the return of Thomas and Miller the Bulls add a catch 22 to the chemistry of the young and often inconsistent team.<br />
If Miller can regain a touch of what made him a two-time all-star. Shoot and hit open shots and provide a productive presence in the post. And if Thomas can let by gone’s be by gone’s come off the bench an produce the same kind of spark that he gave Phoenix during there play off run a few years ago, John Paxson looks like a genius.<br />
But if Miller and Thomas prove to be washed up and even worse bad seed in a very young locker room the Bulls could be headed toward another lottery pick.<br />
Two Lottery pick may be very well possible for the Bulls in the upcoming NBA Draft after trading two guard Thabo Sefolosha to Okalahoma City hours before the trade deadline expired in exchange for a first round pick in the June draft. At Press time the Thunder’s record was 13 wins and 43 loses.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136177776110180975.post-82581227031240112812009-02-23T07:14:00.000-08:002013-02-15T14:53:48.588-08:00Wayne MT's Top Ten<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirkDKaoDvBUPbWP9Rq_45TeS9hoPh8XhUrufNLJh0v2fPyTOY6TVCltWgNkpUaX93HkRoSjWglp6J-LlTAY9j6tRtVj3psM3wrpj6HhNWB4gkIfp4MVdTy4Px5NQ9ykYO-hDMiCHEAUTGR/s1600-h/BizarreRideIIthePharcyde.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306010510999044962" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirkDKaoDvBUPbWP9Rq_45TeS9hoPh8XhUrufNLJh0v2fPyTOY6TVCltWgNkpUaX93HkRoSjWglp6J-LlTAY9j6tRtVj3psM3wrpj6HhNWB4gkIfp4MVdTy4Px5NQ9ykYO-hDMiCHEAUTGR/s320/BizarreRideIIthePharcyde.jpg" style="cursor: hand; float: right; height: 197px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; width: 200px;" /></a><br />
<strong><span style="color: #33cc00;">Number Eight</span></strong><br />As a child I spent a lot of time at my grandmothers home on the South Side of Chicago. The great thing about this was she lived in an area of the city that carried a music channel called The Box. The Box was where I got first dibb’s on all the fresh new music. One day in the spring of 1992 toward the end of the school year I saw “Passing me by”. At the time I thought that it was the illest beat ever produced. The video was also visually executed well. Slim Kid Tre rapping upside down. Fat Lip macking to a girl out of what was later revealed to be a car door minus the rest of the vehicle. The other cuts on the album proved to be just as original and lyrical with a slight touch of dark humor. Songs like “4 Better or 4 Worse” and “Pack the Pipe” display colorful storytelling skills and were instant classics in my circle. Coming in at number eight on the Wayne MT list for ten favorite hip hop albums The Pharcyde with Bizarre Ride II.<br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Box_(US_TV_channel">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Box_(US_TV_channel</a>)<br />

Each song resonates with the right nerve touching the right sound at the right time earning the phrase. ”That’s my SHIT”. This statement leads to the action of adjusting the volume, usually several notches higher. Mmmmm Hmmmmm you feel it now….. A Classic.<br /><br /><br />Hip Hop has produced some incredible albums over the last 30 years. Originally I planned to take on the monumental task of compiling the 10 greatest hip hop albums into a list. After hours, okay I admit it. After days of thinking of methods to consolidate every hot run into ten, I decided that the only way to truly do justice to the thousand of artist who made a contribution to the culture was to pick my favorite ten Albums of all time.<br /><br /><br />Number Ten<br /><br />Digable Planets Rebirth of Slick creatively created its own lane in 1993, earning gold status and a Grammy Award for best Rap Duo or Group. “I’m Cool like dat, I’m cool like Dat”, swooned many units of fans while refuting time and space. In 1994 the Insects from Brooklyn morphed into Creamy Spies and proclaimed “I’m Slicker this year, I’m Slicker” on my tenth choice for favorite Hip Hop album.<br /><br /><strong>DIGABLE PLANETS</strong></div><div><em><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Blowout Comb</strong></span></em><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJRbZIvfUUhCYd2KBgaiQ0yMCHuK2axCUcS8fAGPa0nv9yLxC0yluC5xJTdIsUadsOJyF6iJI2dHANS2whfvsYZ8czYC8soDXjM0gC9x33aI-rwVW90UjDfZ4HbLaxnClSBhuKctPwCfCD/s1600-h/Blowout_Comb_Cover.jpg"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291237291401574034" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJRbZIvfUUhCYd2KBgaiQ0yMCHuK2axCUcS8fAGPa0nv9yLxC0yluC5xJTdIsUadsOJyF6iJI2dHANS2whfvsYZ8czYC8soDXjM0gC9x33aI-rwVW90UjDfZ4HbLaxnClSBhuKctPwCfCD/s320/Blowout_Comb_Cover.jpg" border="0" /></strong></span></a></div><br /><div>Released in : </div><br /><div>1994</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Label: </div><br /><div>Pendulum/Cooltempo</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Favorite Song on album: </div><br /><div>For Corners</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Favorite Collaboration on album:</div><br /><div>"Graffiti" featuring Jeru The Damaja</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Favorite Beat on album:</div><br /><div>"The Art Of Easing" Produced by, Ish (Butterfly) Butler</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136177776110180975.post-64998262764757879662008-12-27T19:58:00.000-08:002008-12-30T15:46:35.019-08:00?uest Love w/ UpSide of Down News<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw0mJ5woUD7VvumnY9nbnOZYPXn9Oj87ZGaguOxINivFdeJq5UaITm-5uL-pX7_Z-XqCYK0EemcpSjs8L2C7hhwZ7ItnHjlAMJOcN7K4cwWu9-g_R9C2k4Z57BhNmsFmbGJEcnF7vR9ua-/s1600-h/questlovetwo.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284983049730727698" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw0mJ5woUD7VvumnY9nbnOZYPXn9Oj87ZGaguOxINivFdeJq5UaITm-5uL-pX7_Z-XqCYK0EemcpSjs8L2C7hhwZ7ItnHjlAMJOcN7K4cwWu9-g_R9C2k4Z57BhNmsFmbGJEcnF7vR9ua-/s320/questlovetwo.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><blockquote><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><em>I thought it was an adventure, and it turned out to be life.
