Ghostface Killah Day

Arguably the greatest rapper of all time is celebrated this Wednesday, May 11 at Fortune Sound Club. Trying to narrow down my favourite GFK rhyme is nearly impossible so why not have the city’s hottest spinners play, hopefully, every Ghost verse ever spitted! Only heads need apply. Don’t know who he is? Then “bong, bong.” But here’s a crash course. In essence, this IS him. It’s also the only ringtone I’ve ever had. “Just make sure y’all flush Staten Island, y’hear me?”

Yo, check these up top murderous
Snowy in the bezzle as the cloud merges
F.B.I. try and want word with this
Kid who punked out bust a shot uip in the becon
Catch me in the corner not speakin
Crushed out heavenly, U.G. rock the sweet daddy long fox minks
Chicken and brocolli, Wally’s look stinky
With his man straight from Raleigh Durham, he recognized Kojak
I slapped him five, Masta Killa cracked his tiny form
E’rybody break bread, huddle around
Guzzle that, I’m about to throw a hand in your bag
Since the face been revealed, game got real
Radio been gassin niggaz, my imposters scream they ill
I’m the inventor, ’86 rhymin at the center
Debut ’93 LP told you to Enter
Punk faggot niggaz stealin my light
Crawl up in the bed with grandma,
beneath the La-Z-Boy where ya hid ya knife
Ghost is back, stretch Cadillacs, fruit cocktails
Hit the shells at Paul’s Pastry Rack
Walk with me like Darthy tried to judge these
plush degrees, said the cow, wrap the fees
Gettin waxed all through the drive-thru
Take the stand, throw my hand all on the Bible
and tell lies too, I’m the ultimate
splash the Wolverine Razor Sharp ring, dolomite
student in role holdin it

Shit. Be easy.

Vancouver Special v2.0

If you’ve lived in Eastvan, then you’ve seen em. The Vancouver Special was a common house design that proliferated during the 60‘s, 70‘s and 80‘s. Eventually tho, the City said no more to these ugmoe’s and the 90‘s started spawning those pink monster-villas that are all over South Vancouver.

Anyways, Vancouver Is Awesome‘s Executive Director, Bob Kronbauer, hooked up with designer/builder Jason Sokolowski to create the Vancouver Special Playhouse. The 4×8 foot house will unveil this Friday, April 22 at Vancouver Special on 3612 Main Street.

Go on down and check it out this weekend. They start at $1,500 so holler at bobk@vancouverisawesome.com!
