PLS DON’T BE A DOUCHEBAG, CHEGO LUNCH + cooL and amazing…things!

Let me preface this by saying that 95% of the people are reallllly amazing!!!!  It’s just the sh*tty 5% that hold up the line and are oh-so-helpful in making things difficult.

Yeah, that’s Mike D from the Beastie Boys.  And here’s a sample of what he has to say about Roy Chulo: “…His work is really analogous to what a hip hop producer or dj does, chopping up a sample, re-contextualizing it, adding BEETS, maybe a little vocal and on and on.” AHAHAHAHAHA. “BEETS”.  If you [...]
