Eagle Eye

Youth

My little geeeez are still getting dark slash light up where I work, almost every night of the week.  This is their favorite song right now to dance to.  The video is low budget and fun to watch.  Check the move, it’s called “Evil Canivel”.

I Does This

My Dudes, Stan Ipcus

I’m about to put out this Stan Ipcus x Dirty Jax BEST OF IP mixtape.  It represents the end of an era.  Single Stan Ip is about to be a wrap (I’m getting married next month son).  I’ve been recording for more than a decade as a bachelor, and since my boy Josh aka Sure Shot from Dirty Jax (above with Big Fat Ip hahaha) made my first album cover for Pu Click Poetry (not to mention covers for my second album Extra Him AND third album Flirting with Fame), I asked him to lace me for the BEST OF IP.  The mixtape has a bunch of new stuff that I’ve leaked over the past few months, some on air radio freestyles, remixes, and my favorite songs from my last three projects (Bachelor Party, Real Breezy with DJ Roz, and Flirting with Fame).  I even snuck a live throwback from my College Park days on there.  Check out this review of Bachelor Party below…the free download link is there too if you still don’t have that get it asap!!!!

Buzzafied Bachelor Party Review

In addition, I will be posting free download links to my entire discography, from the late 90’s “little gipper flipper” years to now, along with the BEST OF IP, on April 1st, 2009, here on WESTCHEDDAR.  Here’s a little promo video I did, kind of a warm up for next week…one of my favorite songs to perform…a true IP standard…”I Does This”.  I’m spitting that quickness so keep up!!!  Enjoy, and check back with WESTCHEDDAR.COM (that’s right we dropped the wordpress from our web address finally) for the Stan Ipcus x Dirty Jax BEST OF IP mixtape next week.  It’s a classic…

And here’s a bonus.  My first ever Youtube video, which also features me spitting that quick style my “day one” friends and fans always appreciate.  This is “Hey”, off Real Breezy with DJ Roz, over a Red Hot Chili Peppers loop I put together.  Another one of my favorites to perform…

See you fools April 1st…peace.

This is the first movie of 2009 I am looking forward to seeing in the theaters.  Paul Rudd, Jason Segal, and Andy Samberg?  Nice.  Though Judd Apatow has nothing to do with this one, it still seems like it has potential for big laughs.  Finally, a chick flick for men.  And yes, I’m heterosexual.  Peep the trailer.  See you at the theater.

P.S.  I just found out that Westcheddar alumnus Nick Kroll is in this movie too.  From his Facebook update:

“Nick Kroll wants you to see I LOVE YOU, MAN this weekend. Cause he has like 2 lines in it and its really funny.”

Dance with Matis

My Dudes

Yo, this is hilarious.  Basically, you upload a picture of yourself to this website, and it puts your face on the body of some dude who’s dancing on stage with Matisyahu.  It’s a real video clip too, taken actually from the Festival of Light show that Max B and I performed with Matis at this past December.  Check out the video I created to see what it’s all about, and then try it for yourself, it’s very funny and super easy…

Ipcus dancing onstage with Matis HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Post your Dance with Matis video links in the comments section so we can all check them out…thanks!

The Finisher

My Dudes, Sports

My cousin CI has some great new products available from his NO MAS NYC brand.  Known mostly for his clever, sports related t-shirt line, he’s now expanded into BAGS.  The Finisher Bag, if you take a closer look at the pics above, is made of a vintage Starter jacket!!!!  Bananas.  Perfect for the gym, a weekend getaway with wifey, or really anything that needs to get bagged.

NO MAS NYC also has a bunch of new t-shirts and sweatshirts available for sale straight from their website.  My favorite is the Crenshaw crewneck above.  I’ll let my cuzzie describe it:

In the late 70s and early 80s, Crenshaw high school was a baseball powerhouse of epic proportions. The ’79 edition of the team featured future major leaguers Darryl Strawberry and Chris Brown, and is considered the greatest team never to have won an LA high school championship. Their season and loss in the finals to John Elway and the Valley Boys from Granada Hills is well chronicled in Michael Sokolove’s The Ticket Out. See also Crenshaw native Nipsey Hussle wearing our crewneck in his debut video.

That dude Nipsey Hussle is pretty nice with it.  Kinda reminds me of Snoop Dogg.  Check this video of him spitting on Crack Distributors Radio during a recent trip to NYC, he goes in…

Now you go in…to the NO MAS NYC online store…now!!!!  Cop something fresh for spring training….

The Return of Fitz Winkleman

Youth

I spent the better part of the last decade hosting game shows for kids in all of my after school programs, from Mt. Kisco, NY to Gaithersburg, MD.  Recently, after putting my game show on hold for this school year, it was time to bring it back.  The streets were asking for it, true story.  So here it is, the latest episode of everyone’s favorite game show THE NEWLYFRIEND GAME, hosted by yours truly FITZ WINKLEMAN.  Enjoy…

Wanna see where it really all started?  Check THIS OUT:

And stay tuned for THE RETURN OF SKIP SMILEY….

Blue Note

Uncategorized

I’ve listened to this one song alot in my car for the past few weeks, so I thought I’d share it with my loyal readers because it is really dope.  This is a type of rap music I always liked.  Real laidback and lyrical, with an ill sample and hard drums.  Blu, who is from California (my birthplace), is considered one of the leaders of the new school of rap.  I must say I’ve heard alot of his songs over the past couple of years, but this is the first one that I have ever played on repeat.  It’s called “Amnesia”.  Check it out…

Oh, I’ve been banging this too.  The Cool Kids “Pennies”.  I put some of the middle school kids I work with up on these guys, and now it’s all they listen to.  Supposedly this song is the first leak off their official debut LP, When Fish Ride Bicycles.  Sounds crazy.  Peep the video…

And here’s an alternate video (the Decon Version) of “Pennies”…

Peace.
