Some mixes from Mista Donut and B.K. Akila.

Time for a little music update. This one is for you hip-hop heads. These are some mixes that I absolutely love. For those that don't know, Mista Donut is a writer/DJ/producer out of Japan. Those into Japanese hip-hop may have heard of him through his superb mixes released on the Subcontact label. He also does "Drum Lesson", a monthly hip-hop event in Koufu, Yamanashi. 

First up is "Summer Jam '07", by Mista Donut and Bonchi Kuts Akilla (Too Perverted Brothers). Its a pretty chill mix of hip-hop, jazz, some soul, and I even spotted a Maeda Norio joint on there . The intro is kind of long. Anyhow, enjoy:

Next up we have "Too Perverted Blends". This time they do a pretty straightforward mash-up style mix of hip-hop acapellas and instrumentals. Blends and cuts smooth as butter, and some interesting choices for the mixes: 

Props goes out to Dr. Malta.

Nintendo 3DS hardware specs revealed?

Good morning everyone! Time for a little update with Nintendo's upcoming handheld, the 3DS. So what's inside the innards of the upcoming Nintendo 3DS? Well, if sources close to IGN is to be believed, the upcoming 3D-enabled handheld is one mighty little device. According to IGN, the 3DS will boast not one, but two 266MHz ARM11 CPUs, a 133MHz GPU, 4MBs of dedicated VRAM, 64MBs of RAM and 1.5GBs of flash storage. While the source wasn't able to provide any other details of the ARM11 processors the 3DS will feature, the site points out that early iPhone models as well as current gen Microsoft Zunes and other Android smartphones also used the ARM11 processor. The site added:

"As we learned in June, the 3DS' GPU has been named DMP's PICA200, which features a maximum processing speed of roughly 200MHz, though it seems Nintendo is scaling it back a bit for use in the 3DS. Numerous developers working on software for the platform have likened its graphical capabilities to current-generation consoles like the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, albeit on smaller, lower-resolution screens."

"The handheld will also have substantially larger storage capacity than preceding models, jumping from only 256MBs on the DSI to 1.5GBs of flash memory on the 3DS. The total drive space can, of course, be expanded using the 3DS' SD card slot."

What games for the 3DS are you most excited for?

Ip Man.

Today, I thought i'd stray away from the video games and post one of my favorite movies.  When I first saw the movie, I said to myself,"This is not something usual, this is unusual and this is better than Ong-Bak (Thai Movie)." I definitely have to let others watch this movie especially if you are a Bruce Lee fan.Because this is the story of Bruce Lee's kung fu master Ip Man. 

Here's a little review I found online.  

Ip Man is a 2008 Hong Kong martial arts semi-biographical film that is based on the life of Ip Man, the celebrated martial arts master of Bruce Lee, and the first to teach the Chinese martial art of Wing Chun openly. The film focuses on events surrounding Ip Man that took place in the city of Foushan in China between the 1930s to 1940s during the Second Sino-Japanese War.

Ip Man is the first film to be based on the life of the martial artist rather than the martial art itself. The producer Raymond Wong developed this film with full consent from Ip's sons, and had filmmakers head to Foushan, to research Master Ip Man's life. Ip Chun, Ip Man's eldest son, served as a consultant for the film.

Ip Man was released in Hong Kong on 18 December 2008, receiving widespread acclaim from both critics and audiences. Following its critical and commercial success, Ip Man was nominated for 12 Hong Kong Film Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Director.

Here's one of the fight scenes from the movie. Pretty awesome.

What would you do if you were the last man standing in that fight?

A little bored right now, so thought I would update with some video game related music that i've listen too.
