What I'm Reading ... @iambeanpie

(OC sporting his Beanpie gear)

The homie Shaun hit O and I up with the first volume of his comic book, Beanpie, in addition to a bunch of other promotional material. It's been a while since I read a comic book. I dig Beanpie's real life approach AND it's based in Connecticut (the state I technically call home). Anyway, Shaun is definitely doing his thing and this is just the first issue in the series. It's definitely enjoyable. Check it.

Beanpie is written by Shaun Bolden. It started in 2007 and is part of an ongoing saga. After two years of writing and promoting a story, an artist was found. Dino Diaz joined up with Shaun and they began to work on their first comic strip which was in Urbanology Magazine in March 2010. On June 5th 2010 they released their first comic book entitled, Beanpie: The Hustle Begins at the Comic Convention located in Toronto.. The response at the release was a positive one and the two continue to reach out to people and embrace new fans daily. Beanpie can be found on eBay. If you are in Toronto you can find the comic at Silver Snail, A Different Booklist, Beguiling, or Studio 47. The graphic novel is scheduled tpo be released in December. Stay tuned and READ BEANPIE!

"There's a difference between ninja and ninger"

A little old (not that old) but still VERY hilarious. It's a conversation. Let's have it. Or, you can just tell me "what a ninja gotta do to get some orange chicken around here?"

The Throat Chop Session: Shyne is the Last Real What Alive?! FOH!

Hey Shyne, Fidel called and he wants his cigar and the entire Cuban military uniform back. Oh and XXL, Hip-Hop called and said eff yo couch; you ain't doing shit on a higher level. The last couple of covers have been a rapid decline for XXL (and I'm being generous by ONLY saying the last couple). But you wanna know the the quickest route to irrelevancy? You feature irrelevant people. Kat Stacks' (I won't even mention Waka) name appears on the cover of XXL under the header "The Real Street Issue"? FOH!

I honestly hope this is just some photoshop crazed fool who had a picture of Shyne, XXL's masthead and a little bit of free time on their hands because this cover screams fuckery, right up to the headline, "Last Real Rapper Alive." Wait, this is still a picture of Shyne on the cover right? Is this a misprint? Should this have read, "The Last Real Wrapper Alive"? Shyne went to jail and came out and sounded like shit. His post-jail music has been horrible YET folks keep posting it up (it's arguable that his pre-jail music was shit too). His best verse was probably the telephone recorded verse on Usher's "Confession Remix" and that's sad. This dude is now on the cover on a magazine talking about what? And who even cares. There's a gang of folks putting out quality music yet XXL is entertaining this shit? Wow.

There's no way in hell that Shyne is the last real anything alive. I stand by that statement.

Eff all that!
