CHOPS - AUG 13 - RIP ISAAC HAYES - OLYMPICS - TALIB KWELI - MORE 90s STUFF

We lost another one of the greats! Singer, songriter, actor Isaac Hayes past away on Sunday. This man was the shiiiit!!! That voice was so distinct. Not only did he capture us with his music but he did with his comedy as well, making regular appearances on South Park as the role of Chef. Here are a couple videos to remind you of the late ISAAC HAYES... he was on bad mother..... shut your mouth!!!!

So the Olympics are going on. Everybody's watching. Y'all saw Michael Phelps tear shit up. Smashing every World Record. He's already the greatest Olympian ever and he still got a couple more races to go. I don't know about y'all but there are more than a couple of hotties in Beijing. I can't wait til 2010... VAN CITY is gonna be LIVE!!!! Here are some hot Olympic athletes.

Amanda Beard - Swimming - USA


Jennie Finch - Softball - USA


Ana Ivanovic - Tennis - SERBIA


Fatima Moreira de Melo - Field Hockey - Netherlands


Erin Philips - Basketball - AUSTRALIA



Hey Canadian athletes!!! How bout a fucking medal?!?! This shit is mad embarrassing. I mean teams like Tajikistan and Mongolia have a medal. Ya... TAJIKISTAN!!!! Where is that? I have no idea... i never even heard of that country til today!!! But they have a fucking medal! Our government needs to step shit up and fund our athletes!! We're the frikkin laughing stock of the world!

Rumor has it that Talib Kweli will be in MTL for the annual Concordia concert and guess who's supposed to be the oppening DJs... you got it... GOONTRIBE BABY!!! That should be a fun day! These Concordia concerts are always dope. Last time Talib performed, he brought out Kanye West! That was before he was the mega star he is today. But who knows, he might bring somebody with him again! I've been a fan of Talib's for a loooong time and to have our names alongside his is an honour!

The Blast

Like I mentioned before, we're planning the next Down with the 90s party. One of our partners Solid Ground hooked up with Labnoise to put together a little teaser for the next party. This shit brings back a lot of memories. Here's the teaser and a couple of other videos that had us buggin in the 90s

Down w/ the 90s Teaser Video


Ice Cream by Raekwon, Ghost, Cappadonna and Meth

ICE CREAM MAN IS COOOOOMMMMMMIIIIING!!! LOL! This track was fire!!! ! Check out the HABS jersey! And for the real heads... check out the Rugged Child, Shyheim, at the end of the video.

Lately LIVE by Jodeci

This is one of the greatest songs EVER!!! Stevie is the originator but Jodeci does a SICK job covering this song! I think this is the first time MTV did an Unplugged for urban artists.

Anything For You - Snow ft. Nadine Sutherland, Beenie Man, Buju Banton, Terror Fabulous, Louis Culture, Kulcha Knox

FIIIIYAAAAH!!!! This tune gets me hype EVERYTIME I here it. This is probably the greatest collaboration in reggae history! And to think, the main singer is a white dude from Toronto. Who would've thought?
