Starting from the ground up – at park battles in the Manhattanville housing project – to spittin’ freestyle classics on countless mixtapes like Kay Slay’s Streetsweeper series and other street joints by Purple City and DJ’s like Clue, Whoo Kid, Envy, Enuff, Dirty Harry, Kool Kid and Clinton Sparks, Bathgate built an enormous underground street buzz and following for an artist without an album out or a record deal. With his name ringin’ off in streets everywhere, a bidding war ensued that landed Bath at Virgin records. His jumpoff single “f*ck That” (aka dubbed “Bump That” for radio) became an instant hood anthem, which Rolling Stone magazine also dubbed one of their cool hip hop, singles of the year. Now for the 09, Bathgate is back with his latest street banger “Pockets full of money” as well as his latest mixtape, Hosted by DJ Drama “Thanks 4 Not Helping”.

Usually I do not post on blogs, but I would like to say that this article really forced me to do so! Thanks, really nice article.
I never would have thought I would have to be familiar with this thank goodness for the web, right?
At this point you should have a blog with a banner for the tv show you chose, with a post with a picture and complete links to each episode. This gives you a site that you are going to lead people to to fill out a survey to gain access to the videos. The code you put it in the last step will make that survey window pop up.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
