We all know the routine. You’re in a conversation, with somebody about some topic and they might say something like “Come on what REALLY happened” and all of sudden you break into you’re worst Jack Nichloson impersanation and say “YOU can’t handle the truth!”. Oh I’m the only one?  And who amongst us has not found some way to break into a Scarface imppression and exclaim “Say hello to my little friend. But you get the deal. Well ANYway we present to you the the movie lines that every black person knows.

You know you done f**** up right?

“You been bamboozled…”

“Till you do right by me…” (6:20 mark)

“Sexual Chocolate!”

“Do you understand the words coming out of my mouth”

Dres of Black Sheep and Jarobi from Tribe Form A Group

(from Evitan’s people)
In 2010, Dres reemerged, releasing From The Black Pool Of Genius, and now the Black Sheep emcee is joining forces with Jarobi, one-fourth of the founding core behind fellow Native Tongues group A Tribe Called Quest. The duo will release a currently untitled album under the moniker EVITAN (NATIVE, spelled backwards) in early 2012, and the first single from that album is “P.T.I. (Occupy Wall Street),” a song that touches not only the specific happenings of the Occupy movement, but also on the broader feelings of anger, uncertainty, and a desire to mobilize felt by young and old people across the country.

“The 99% need to have not just a voice, but voices,” says Dres on what inspired he and Jarobi to write the song. “We need to have more voices that speak to our plight beyond what is given to us via the media.” And despite the logistical difficulties, Dres and Jarobi were adamant about shooting the video amongst the OWS protesters, noting that they “couldn’t be soldiers and not see the front line.”

Might make a good bar arguement. Top 10 Most Intelligent Rappers

(From Pep’s people) 
 Pep Love, part of the legendary Hieroglyphics crew, is one of the most esteemed veterans of independent West Coast hip-hop. It’s been 11 long years since Pep Love has released his critically-acclaimed album, Ascension, which took seven years to create. Since then, Pep has toured with his Hiero brethren, Souls of Mischief and Casual, nationally for 2011’s Rock The Bells Festival. Now, Pep is back with his official solo album, Rigmarole. With Rigmarole, Pep has set up the perfect wake-up call to new and old fans alike and he seeks to galvanize like-minded artists to rise again. With 17 tracks, no filler, Pep provides a lot of material to take in but after one listen, you’ll see that it was well worth the wait. Rigmarole is set for release on March 6th, 2012 via Hiero Imperium.

Well after an extended stay in the land of triflin and procrastination we here at GHz are back on the grind.  Just when you thought the adults had left the buildng.  BOOM guess who steps in the room. We have made a vow to be moe on it in 2012.  Please hold us to it.  Let us begin…..

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.

- 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
