We just (FINALLY) saw the Tribe Called Quest documentary “Beats, Rhymes and Life”. We’re tryin to get K-Rocka to buy (and not the bootleg) of the movie so we can discuss it on Grownhead Convo. As you know Big Pooh is formally of the group Little Brother another crew that got lots of dap before they disbanded. When I saw this remix featuring another storied percieved number 2 guy, Phife Dawg, I had to check it out. Big Pooh’s newest CD Dirty Pretty Things is in stores now.

A few months back we did an interview with rapper Quinten (straight outta Portland!). Its an interesting discussion about being an adult in this hip hop game and why do it for the love. Check out his favorite cuts from his mixtape L.I.F.E. after the interview.

Quinten probably is through with the folks over here at Ghz since it took us a minute to finish all this.
Quinten’s mixtape has 26 songs. Nuthin unusally about that but more than we can feature here. ANYway Quinten has picked his 10 favorite songs from his project for you to listen to at your leisure. You can download the complete mixtape HERE for FREE.

“This is just one style out of many;
like a piggy bank, this is one penny”
Boogie Down Productions
- My Philosophy
Affirmation of the Day:
I am so versatile and have range
So you have your foundation down; what do you do next? Diversify while keeping a core element that allows people to know it’s still you. My example is around what I learned with having a good fit with my clothes. I let that and the fact that the Ambassador Bruny brand is a classic one serve as a base. I added my bow tie as my signature look and we build everything else around those elements (still a work in progress by the way). Maybe fashion is not your thing; that’s okay. It’s just a metaphor for all of life.
You may be asking, “How do I apply this to my work or school life?” Great question and here are a couple of suggestions for you:
Keep your foundation which can act as an anchor for who you really are.
As things change, including yourself, you need to be able to learn new skills in order to adapt Exposure, Exposure, Exposure. Get out there and see and experience new things. It allows you to create things that others with limited exposure cannot fathom
Question of the Day:
How has versatility been an asset to you?
Action of the Day:
None for today.
Run the Point, from where you are, with what you have!
Your Ambassador,
Mike Bruny

Periodically, we need to check credentials to weed out the spies, posers, and undercover gangsters (reformed gangsters are fine) and make sure you are a real grownhead. Soooooo, you truly are a grownhead IF….
141) … you actually use coasters
142) … you stay in on a Friday…on purpose…and it’s alright.
143) … all these movies remakes just wanna make you see the originals.
144) … you keep more food than beer in the fridge.
145) … you take your lunch to work ‘cause its cheaper than eating out everyday.
146) … you meet people who were born in the year you graduated from high school.
147) … when athletes retired you thought they were old, now you check and you’re older than they are.

A-plus of the might heiro crew recentlt released an EP based on the music of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Check for it here. According to A-Plus “It’s a conceptual EP, certainly. I don’t want people to look at this like it’s MY new album, it’s something I worked on but it’s obviously in a different lane,” emphasizes A-Plus. “I’m stepping outside of my paradigm to do something new, different and artistic.”
