CANADA VOTES TODAY!!!

Today is the day another Election is upon us. Time to pick the better apple of the crappy apples to run our country. I’m not going to tell you who you should vote for. I will just ask that you go out and vote. Pick the candidate that YOU think will best represent YOUR needs and has the same beliefs as you.

Personally I think all of the candidates suck, but one is better than the rest and I will vote for that person and hope that they can step up and do a good job and run this country.

I found projectdemocracy.ca to be a really good informative site. So if you’re still unsure, check it out.

Again check out the facts make a choice grab anyone you can bring ‘em with you and go vote. All you need is photo ID and proof of address if you aren’t registered. Remember people all over the world have died for the chance to do this so don’t take this opportunity for granted.

Here’s to seeing Stephen Harper in the unemployment line tomorrow.

ROLLING ROCK BEER IS IN CANADA

On Saturday night I went to Heavy Rotation at College Street Bar. Normally when I go there I get Keith’s white on tap. When I got there I found out they have ROLLING ROCK Beer and it’s now available in Canada!!! Rolling Rock used to only be available in the States. It’s my favorite American beer and that’s saying a lot cause most American beers suck.

I hope more bars carry it cause that’s what I’ll be drinking this summer. It has a nice smooth taste that is perfect for patios and Sunday BBQs. Plus College Street Bar was serving it in these cool green glasses. I need to get me a set.

If you want to try something new I suggest Rolling Rock. It’s available at LCBO stores in Ontario and select bars.

MINDBENDER’S LETTER TO NOW MAGAZINE

Any of you read Now Magazine lately? I read it every week, and one thing I’ve noticed recently is the lack of Hip Hop representation in the magazine local and non local. Well I wasn’t the only one, Rapper and Writer Addi “Mindbender” Stewart felt the magazine wasn’t doing a great job representing our culture and decided to write a letter to NOW.

To NOW Magazine,

It’s time to go Tim Perlich on your music department. The incomprehensible void that represents your hip hop coverage needs to be addressed immediately. On the cover of your otherwise respectable and insightful publication, it says “Everything Toronto”. I emphatically challenge this claim on the grounds that, for months upon months, NOW Magazine’s support of the industry-standard-setting, world-class hip hop community has gone criminally unrecognized and disrespectfully ignored. There is no justification for not giving a drop of ink to virtually ANY of the rap artists or events in Toronto. On every level, you are failing local and international hip hop, week after week. You’ve had almost no hip hop event reviews, when Royce the 5’9″, Rah Digga, Maureen “Ma Dukes” Yancey (J. Dilla’s mother!), Black Sheep, Buckshot, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Canibus, Jeru the Damaja, Ernie Paniccioli, Joe Budden and many more have all been here in the past two months. You’ve had almost no local album reviews, when D-Sisive, Rich Kidd, Empire, Cadence Weapon and other Canadian acts have released so much great music lately (at least you didn’t miss Buck 65). And you haven’t done an interview on a local hip hop artist/event in who knows how long. When the KOTD Rap Battle League has been featured on MTV, spans 5 cities across Canada, has millions of YouTube views, and has featured MCs from New York, California, Miami, and the UK, why have you never once featured KOTD in NOW? The same questions linger for ‘The Ultimate MC’ Freestyle contest on AUXTV, hosted by Bishop Brigante, now underway in 4 different Canadian cities. Your lack of support for our city’s hip hop scene is completely unacceptable, and on behalf of the community, I request you immediately improve your coverage. If you can critically assess society on every level, you must allow yourself to be critically assessed.
