Let's peruse the essentials of cool ...

Wow, this song is incredible!
This joint is straight crack! Dope! Heroin!
This video made me really upset. I consider myself a pretty tolerant person, but I can't stand Pat Buchanan. The part that really bothers me though is that he is not alone in his feelings towards race, a la Russ Limbaugh. I could not believe he actually went as far as to say that "white folks in America are not responsible for the 70% illegitimacy rate in the black community" and that "whites are not responsible for the fact that African Americans commit crimes at 7 times the rate of white Americans". He makes it sound like black people are inherently incapable of doing the right things, and neglects to acknowledge the fact that the US social structure, which has long slighted minorities, is still a dominant player in these disparities. The fact that the majority of people in power in the US are Caucasian is a testament to the fact that our social policies are skewed. If you want to talk about illegitimacy, let's talk about the funding that poor urban schools received under "No child left behind" or in a bit of recent news, the cuts that were made to education by republicans in the stimulus plan. I just think it's absurd to make such bold accusations without acknowledging all of the processes at work. Do black people need to be held accountable? Yes, they most certainly do, but let's be real. The government has exploited minority populations for years and still continues to do so. Why else would 70% of all stop and frisks in the state of NY be against blacks and hispanics? Is it just because they are bad people? No! So, if you want to talk about "African Americans" committing crimes, let's also talk about all the BS that goes on in our criminal justice system, a lot of which is tied to racial bias (eg. Sean Bell, Diallo, corrupt judges in PA). I mean, why is there STILL a huge disparity between white collar crimes and blue collar crimes? Why can you carry a longer jail sentence for possessing crack as compared to an equal amount of cocaine? I think this debate further exemplified secretary Holder's comments. Why can't we hold a discussion about issues such as the New York Post cartoon or inequities in the criminal justice system without being called "sensitive". I am just glad Michael Eric Dyson was on there as well, because he has the gift of gab and he was able to offer a few counter punches. Like I said, I usually don't like to get too political on here, but this clip really angered me. How do you feel?!? Note: I don't care if you totally disagree, just share your thoughts.
I mess with this track. The beat is hot, and I can appreciate the fact that they are being critical of the pervasive tide of materialism that has taken over the rap game?!? LOL @ "when I blow up, I am trying to count stacks of gold". That line immediately made me think of that "Cash for Gold" commercial that aired during the Superbowl. Random, I know. Enjoy!
I know I am not the only person who missed this the first time around, so here you go. Amanda Diva is definitely ill, not to mention the fact that she is also fine. Haha! Shouts out the the good people at Check The Rhime for the link. Enjoy!
01. Foreplay Intro - DJ Wonder
Check out this dope mix put together by DJ Gaffle. I downloaded this joint back in October and completely forgot about it until it came up on my Zune shuffle. Anyway, I threw together some quick cover art for all the heads out there who need a visual in order to download music. Haha! Believe me, there are mad people like that. Enjoy!
Who says you can't listen to music in style? Check out these ill speakers conceived by Russian designer Ilshat Garipov. The off center weight that sits at the bottom keeps the speakers at a constant tilt allowing you to point them in any direction you choose. Given the tilting design, these speakers are said to shake when you start playing music. I am assuming that if you play bass heavy tracks, these bad boys will look like they are have a mini-seizure. If all this wasn't cool enough, they connect to your computer/mp3/phone/etc. via bluetooth meaning that you don't have to deal the hassle of cords and cables. I will be waiting in line for these if they are ever produced!

Behind every blog is a purpose, we hope. And so it is here, at Ill Vibes. There's no format, no organization, no agenda - simply a cornucopia of thoughts we hope to memorialize in this Internet medium. What common ground you may find is the interests shared among the administrators, four university students whose passions for music (especially the state of hip hop), art, travel, philosophy, comedy, dance, politics, pop culture, fashion, and - quite frankly - the good life have brought them together to share their essentials of cool. From reviewing the latest CD or introducing the world to the next incredible artist to documenting various travels or criticizing a latest concert, you'll find it all here and more! So enjoy, and definitely leave comments. Not only do we love to express ourselves, but one of our greatest traits lies in our listening to other people expressing themselves.
