Crew Love
Everything Else By Gotty™ on May 31, 2009 at 4:23 pmWe decided to switch it up a little for this edition of Crew Love. Instead of giving you the music that inspires us, we chose to share a few url destinations that we like to spend reading. Consider this Crew Love: The Sites We Like Edition.
David D.
Filmdrunk — Vince is simply the funniest writer I’ve seen on the internets. Pretty much every post about the ridiculousness of Hollywood is literally LOL material. Peep this classic post about the origins of Swine Flu: “Look, all I’m saying is that if a few babies had to die in order to make Willowreferences timely again, so be it.”
MZ
Straight Bangin — Joey mixes Hip-Hop, Politics & Sports for an enjoying read. Reads like Pitchfork except he actually sounds like he likes rap music. All this from a Michigan alum…whodathunkit?
True Hoop — Henry Abbot covers the NBA from all angles & has only gotten better since linking with ESPN. Search Who Is William Wesley, which alone is enough reason to check out the blog.
Jason H.
Mets Blog — I’ll admit I’m jealous that Matt Cerrone gets paid to blog about my favorite baseball team, the NY Mets. But as an early follower, I’ve seen the site grow from a personal site to now a corporate sponsored machine. You have to give a guy props when he gives up his day job to run a site with minimal profit, then blows after all the hard work.
LC
The Exactly — Like a carafe of sangria stirred with tomorrow’s hangover, this site is the glitz and grime of Los Angeles. Although there’s a strong emphasis on West Coast Hip-Hop, host Zack Lee follows a formula of posting whatever is dope to him, wherever it comes from. From Pac Div to Dilla, kicks to cuisine, Mr. Lee’s tastes aim to please the senses.
Fail Blog — Tremendous failures at life abound. This site is where I start my day with a coffee and a laugh.
TC
Naked With Socks On — A shrewd take on a topics every woman, man, child, elephant can relate to: the relationship. The site’s tagline — “Revealing Everything While Still Leaving Something to the Imagination” — is pure 14kt gold as each daily article meshes factual events with hypothetical propositions to lead to some unpredictable responses from the various adult readers. It’s also a swift 180° for writer Anslem Samuel, who steered the XXL ship for several years.
Darius Sinclair ™
/FILM — Find out about current movies, independent films and DVD/Blu Ray releases. Strictly for movie buffs and, like yours truly, pirates!
Kotaku — International gamer news in a “I don’t give a fu*k” attitude. Cures all your rouge gaming needs, and then some.
Contra™
TextsFromLastNight.com — Ever since I quit drinking, I like spend time laughing at those who wish they could. TextsFromLastNight is the perfect way to do this. Aside from being fascinating and thoroughly amusing, it also serves as a stark reminder not to sip that poison.
Read My Writes — There are few people I respect more than my man AV. If I may quote Beanie Sigel’s track “I Can’t Go On This Way”: “My heart’s in the Faith I don’t practice/I still pray along, forgive me for my actions,/Cause I still spit gangsta, think Muslim, and act Kafir.” AV outgrew that mentality and is now a very devout and well-read Muslim. As for me, I’m still more like Beanie, sifting through the pages of his blog hoping for some sort of light to shine on me.
Beware
Need 4 Sheed — If I could look at music blogs all day, I would. But, since most of them repeatedly regurgitate the same material daily, I seek info on another one my vices, the Detroit Pistons. Via her soon-to-be-outdated blog, Need4Sheed.com, webmaster Natalie Sitto delivers all the biased banter a Stones fan could need. If we’re lucky, she’ll continue to do so once her namesake is jacking up threes next season in San Antonio.
S. Cadet
Joystiq — Geeks need to get their gaming news fix after they roll out of bed in the wee noon hours from a Call of Duty all-nighter. Joystiq provides news on release dates, well-written previews that tell readers more about the game plus they break stories way before the competition. This way gamers can maximize their play time without going outside and risking sunburn to cop a Game Informer or, God forbid, Gamepro.
Jesse Hagen
Metal Lungies — I’ve long admired and wanted to participate in their “Beat Drop” posts, where they highlight a producer and ask a well-educated, diverse panel to offer up their individual favorites from said producer’s career. Each “Beat Drop” contains behind-the-scenes knowledge, excellent short stories and most importantly, rare, hard-to-find music.
http://metallungies.com/category/beat-drop/
Hip-Hop Is Read — The most impressive collection of sample sets of any site. Want to find the source of RZA’s haunting vocal chop on “Verbal Intercourse?” Or discover where Dr. Dre found the guitar lick for “Xxplosive?” This is the place to go.

Filmdrunk & the Filmdrunk Commenters are hilarious though
my choice of blogs has notably changed over the past few years. I don’t necessarily want to read about the same gossip over and over and the music either. I recently stumbled upon NWSO and i love it. i’m glad he updates everyday because his is one of the first ones i turn to in the morning. I also enjoy blogxilla, undressingHer and The Cynical Ones.
adding fmylife and texts from last night!

@ DopeAlicious
Cocaine Blunts…

http://www.lefthandedtoons.com
nice picks crew…found a few new jawnts to hit up on the mornin stroll (no trick)
@ Teef…
“The Best Of DJ Quik (mixed by Matthew Africa)”
Might have to check that. I’ll believe it when i see it tho. A ‘Best Of’ Quik mix is about as hard to put together as a white puzzle.
Doe - davidz exclusive. If they don’t have your size, no luck.
Certain Footlockers have a real comparable pair though. Not on their site but I can prolly show you pics & get you a sku later.
@ Beware - I haven’t listened to it yet. I haven’t come across any mixes, as opposed to compilations, so I’m interested to hear how this turns out.
@ Gotty - those Asics you’re looking for that Turk has in the pic for the NBA post, were those GR’s?
thisiswhyyourefat.com
ifuckinghatethatshit.com
Yeah, they hit limited FL’s but I have yet to scope out a 13. I had a chance to grab’em last summer & passed. Regrets like a mofo. I’ve called, pulled strings & even put a bounty on a 13. No luck whatsoever. Still looking but it’s like looking for a kidnapped kid: as the days go by, you lose a little more hope lol.

I don’t check it regularly but they always have great vids if you’re into old rap music. And TC that baby site is hilarious.
http://realultimatepower.net/
i hate to always be THIS guy every “crew love” post, but where are the Gotty picks? i mean i’m assuming the sites from the daily “cooler” posts are among them, but i wouldn’t mind knowing what’s on the bookmark list of the faithful leader (no heaven’s gate)
@sherm. Gotty never leaves TSS. Ever.
Ever.
^ I’m afraid Contra is correct. Gotty utilizes what we, the crew, send him via Reader.
lol, point taken…Gotty is the Howard Hughes of the blogosphere
lol, again, i tell you.
you are exposed (pause) to my randomness daily. this is more about those who you aren’t bored w/yet.
don’t you ever get tired of being a don and wanna be a capo for a day?
they had em on ebay in my size. some bastard outbidded me with seconds left!!! ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
don’t you ever get tired of being a don and wanna be a capo for a day?
—————-
one day soon, you’re gonna come thru & TSS shall be gone. I’m propping up a beach chair soon enough.

Super Blues on the left. FL version on the right. Slight diffs. but basically the same.
@ Gotty - awwww hell naw…at least hand that shit off to the crew…tss is like my morning paper, happy hour and night cap all rolled into one…let TSS live!!!!
^ remember, Young Paduwan, all good things come to an end…but also know that energy isn’t created nor destroyed, it’s changed…when Gotty decides to shut the lights out on this motherfucker, some of us might wanna take that as a sign that it’s time to move on as well, but please believe he’s got some underbosses than are more than capable of keeping the legacy going, lol…
that’s why you should cop a t-shirt, as a memento of all the good times that have been shared, PAUSE, lol
