Yes, Word!!

Back in Bizness
Yo! "1976 Magazine" is still alive - despite the nasty rumours (well, not really). Anyways, here's some interesting links to check out:

"News on the D.L." - the hiphop news on the net
GAM3 Slam Dunk Videoclip - this is the first in a series, but it's very nyze (requires Quicktime, 3.5 MB download)
Annual Design Review - "I.D. presents the results of the 2002 Annual Design Review, America’s largest and most prestigious juried design competition"
A A Book - here's a guy who really takes his blog seriously, nyze graphics

The Jukebox
From Stones Throw Records website: "Ever seen a snippets tape? Cheap cassettes with all the best parts of a record mixed together to get you hyped about the album. Soundpieces came out in 99, so why play the snippets tape here? Because Madlib made a snippets tape like his life depended on it, with sides A and B full of all kinds of weirdness not on the final record, an early "Discipline 99", and hints of the chaos behind the doors of the Loopdigga's Hideaway where the record was recorded."

Lootpack rules, so check it out. As a matter of fact, its one of my goals to have them play at next year's GAM3 finals.



Stones Throw's Peanut Butter Wolf has also put together a new compilation of the many 45s he has released.


The Fat Lady Sings
My hiphop & streetbasketball project GAM3 is over for 2002. At least it would appear so since our "Grand Finale" took place Saturday August 10th on probably the largest open square in central Copenhagen (Rådhuspladsen aka City Hall Square that is). It was a wonderful, exciting and hectic day for me. Thanx to everybody who was there - and helped to ignite a new annual Copenhagen, street event. For sure.

If you couldn't be there or at one of the six GAM3-camps, don't worry. We have already posted a nice little video (high or low resolution, requires Quicktime) on the GAM3 website of the winning dunk of the Slam Dunk Competition by a dude named Abdullah - amazing abilities!

More video and stills to follow!!! We have recorded a lot of footage.
