KONBANWA! (GOOD EVENING) - BANZAI INTRO.

What's going on HMG and HMG followers?! I'm Steve, some people may know me as Banzai, BanzaiPhotography, or pho_sho, but whatever you want to call me is all good. I'm a young cat, 20 years old and currently a student at Northwest Vista. I've lived in San Ant-tony-yo for the last 15 or so odd years of my life and before that, Iceland. You'll see me rollin around town on a Honda Ruckus (was featured here not too long ago), a fixie (copped it off Brandon actually), or a modded civic. I'm big into photography and sneakers, I grew up around brothers that were into sneakers so it's in my blood. I'm also real big into Japanese culture, if you haven't noticed. I've been to Japan once and it's my goal to go back and even study there for a semester or two and maybe even live there. I'm pretty open when it comes music, but if you take a ride with me...you'll more than likely hear some foreign music playing, new hip hop (stuff like Blue Scholars), and oldies. But yeah...be on the look out for more posts, you'll be seeing me around here more often.

And of course...me being silly...

EDUCATE YOURSELF...HIP HOP LIVES.

Hip Hop isn't limited to modern music technology + creative beats + flashy fashion. Some people are confusing this trendy lifestyle with Hip Hop culture. Educate yourself on the foundation of Hip Hop culture, and you will walk away with a deep appreciation of what Hip Hop is. Don't follow trends, they die. Hip Hop lives.

Keep an eye out for Mike Dream's cameo!

A Gem in Oaktown, California

El Taco Zamorano in Oakland is truly an old time favorite from back in the day! Some friends introduced me to this taco truck (restaurant is now open too, right next to it) and I've been frequenting it for years. When we recently got the chance to get out to High St & International, we did! Without our kids in tow, it was all good. It's not exactly in the safest neighborhood, but it is worth making the stop that's for sure.

Although El Taco Zamorano is noted to have the best carnitas in town, we stuck to what we knew...the carne asada! The burritos come stacked with your choice of meat, rice, beans, onions, and cilantro...and perhaps a secret ingredient that makes it so tasty. But you must not skip on the extras - radishes, green onions, and verde. The combo is simply heavenly!




Been ordering this for years!
The "wet" version of the carne asada burrito...yum!

IT'S ABOUT TIME.

Talib Kweli -Reflection, BACK AGAIN.

Ok so the state of hip hop at least to me has been at an all-time low. The message of today's music has poisoned young minds and created unrealistic dreams. The desire for SEX, MONEY, DRUGS, etc. has become the common language of today's youth. This of course is my opinion. Most of the hip hop music of this era sounds like it took no thought to make these so called platinum hits. I stumbled upon this clip by Kweli and the message is so clear. Its about time, real music...BACK AGAIN.
