Rapper Big Pooh is at it again, and this time he teamed up with the Legendary Hip-Hop producer - Black Milk. The Purple Tape is the beat cd Black Milk put out a while back called - Music From The Color Purple. Rapper Big Pooh just got the green light from Milk to rap over the beats for his project. With "Pretty Dirty Things" on the way, and the high buzz of Pooh's last project - "Delightful Bars", it's no question in my mind that Pooh will be in the commercial limelight in no time. Enjoy::::
My Homie Jared Hawley went IN on this Post!! He basically sums up Austin, TX in a nut shell!! Peep the breakdown after the jump!
If you move here to ride good BMX spots you are stupid, unless you like trails. What I can say about living here is that it is the easiest city to live in by far because it is OK to be a roach. You can just chill on someones couch for the low price of $50 bucks, the option to clean up, or you find a dumb hoes bed you can sleep in for the fun price of laying the pipe to a muffin topped bird shit white scene chick(a.k.a. hotel bottom of the bucket bitch). If you have lived in any other city and you weren't mommy and daddies charity case(a.k.a. professional student)you can live in Austin with no money, eat good, and get drunk every fucking night with out having to do shit. My roachin' day are over but I'm about to give the game away for free cause I got a job.
#1. Most Important step you need a BMX bike even if you don't ride it.(shit fuck the bull shit you can even have a faggot/fixed gear bike if you don't know now you know.)
#2. You need to have JOKES no body likes a boring roach.
#3. If you ain't staying with a dumb hoe throw your land lord(owner of the coach) some dough or clean up.
#4. Don't complain about your living situation you a roach.
#5. Steal drinks at the bar. ain't nothing wrong with a P.O.D. (previously owned drink)
#6. Be a fucking maniac when you drink everybody loves a good story
#7. You only need about $20 bucks a week depending on the person of course you can find that anywhere.
#8. Act like you are trying to find a job but don't ever get one. a job defeats the purpose of being a roach.
#9. Don't give a fuck about anything.
#10. Learn when its time to bounce.
With those easy steps you can have a blast in this town and not do shit. Roachin is easy if you have the right mindset.

Big Joe is something else... The first time I watched this video I was absolutely blown away that Big Joe was actually releasing some inside information about the industry. This is something that every aspiring artist needs to hear. Keep in mind that homeboy is from the street, so he's a little rugged on the breakdown. Nonetheless, Big Joe keeps it real in the field.

Still feeling the sting of New Year's Eve all these days later? A synthetic alcohol substitute developed from chemicals similar in composition to Valium could give users the pleasant feelings of tipsiness without affecting the parts of the brain that lead to barroom brawls, crippling addiction, and sleeping in your car.
Unlike all those bunk point-of-sale hangover remedies, this headache-eluding synthetic is being developed by some serious brainpower at Imperial College London. Professor David Nutt, one of Britain's top drug experts, was recently relieved of his position as a government advisor for comments about cannabis and MDMA. Now, he's trying to change the way Britons think, and feel, about getting drunk.
By harnessing benzodiazepines like diazepam, the chief ingredient in anti-anxiety med Valium, Nutt sees a future of drinking without becoming addicted, belligerent or -- and here's the kicker -- intoxicated. Using one of thousands of possible benzos, researchers are working to tailor a colorless, tasteless synthetic that could eventually replace the alcohol content in beer, wine and liquor.
Drinkers could toss back as many glasses of the swill as they want but would remain only mildly drunk from first drink to last, keeping good-timers within legal limits whether they like it or not. If one did find the buzz too intense for a particular task -- say, driving home after a long night at the pub -- those warm feelings of inebriation could be instantly turned off with a simple antidote pill that mutes the synthetic's effects on brain receptors.
The skeptics (and delinquents) among us wonder exactly why Nutt and company think that people who enjoy getting roaring drunk would voluntarily switch to a tipple that lacks the knock-down power of authentic alcohol, but as a matter of public health it's not such a far-fetched idea. After all, alcohol has been both a bringer of good cheer and destroyer of lives for thousands of years now, and a 21st-century update to an ancient favorite could be in order. In the meantime, we're sticking with scotch.
The Athletic Mic League is one of my "FAVORITE" Hip-Hop groups!! When I heard that A.M.L. is making a comeback, and dropping a album. I nearly went berserk!

If you enjoy this video and have never heard of Athletic Mic League, check out their myspace page. If you would like to purchase one of their albums, just check itunes.

His words staggered the erudite audience gathered at a technology conference in Oxford last summer.
Professor Henry Markram, a doctor-turned-computer engineer, announced that his team would create the world's first artificial conscious and intelligent mind by 2018.
And that is exactly what he is doing.
On the shore of Lake Geneva, this brilliant, eccentric scientist is building an artificial mind. A Swiss - it could only be Swiss - precision- engineered mind, made of silicon, gold and copper.
The end result will be a creature, if we can call it that, which its maker believes within a decade may be able to think, feel and even fall in love.
Professor Markram's 'Blue Brain' project, must rank as one of the most extraordinary endeavours in scientific history.
If this 47-year-old South-African Israeli is successful, then we are on the verge of realising an age-old fantasy, one first imagined when an adolescent Mary Shelley penned Frankenstein, her tale of an artificial monster brought to life - a story written, quite coincidentally, just a few miles from where this extraordinary experiment is now taking place.
Success will bring with it philosophical, moral and ethical conundrums of the highest order, and may force us to confront what it means to be human.
But Professor Markram thinks his artificial mind will render vivisection obsolete, conquer insanity and even improve our intelligence and ability to learn.
