Haji P – The Fresh Prints

fresh prints pic2

Had this in the ol’ inbox today and thought it was pretty dope. Haji P is outta Wilmington, NC , so you know the Monster blog gonna help him represent. I don’t think I can sum up this track any better than the email, so here’s an excerpt:

North Carolina rapper, Haji P, narrates his venture to becoming a resident of Californias Bay area with his new track, “The Fresh Prints.” Actually, its not really a new new track. Its just a cover of the classic theme to Americas favorite sitcom, “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.” Has this been done before? Sure it has! Is it another rappers shameless attempt at weasling his way into fleeting notoriety? Of course it is! But, its extremely clever and fun to listen to, something we think the originator of this song would be proud of.

M-EASY’s first Man U goal! All On those haters like Will the Thrill!

This is for all those haters out there on my man M-Easy. Doing it big for Manchester United right here.

Dropping goals on cats and on the haters like my man Will the Thrill, who I used to bust up before the student spent 23 hours a day playing FIFA so he could beat the teacher.

LLWS Diving Grab

I love peeping the Little League World Series man. Shit is awesome. This kid, who gets extra baller points for rocking the number 22, makes a pretty sick diving grab.

Chad OchoCinco Kickin’ FG’s

Pretty baller. Usually they get the punter or someone to do this if the kicker is injured. But Chad rocked the extra point and kickoff. Crazy.

Monday Kick(s) Off – Lebron VI vs. Lebron VII

The Lebron VI’s were super popular. The Lebron VII’s are getting rave reviews. Which ones you geelin’ most?

(Note: geelin’ = really feeling. that aint no typo. that’s monster slang)

Above is the most common colorway of the  Lebron VI.

Above is first colorway of Lebron VII, due out in October.

The Monster’s Vote: LEBRON VII by a landslide. I will be copping these for sho! Just not sure if I’m gonna get the colorway above or wait on some others. These look like they will GO HARD on the court.

Hakeem Nicks Mix

A big receiver, drafted by the NY Giants, gonna be a big target this year for Eli Manning I hope. GO HEELS! Hakeem Nicks mix above to show you why he’s the next big thing when it comes to receivers. He ain’t no diva neither!!!

Brandon Tate 90-Yd Return

The Heels lost a bunch of good players from last year, including Brandon Tate and Hakeem Nicks, but are ranked pre-season Top 25! Here’s a kickoff return by Tate 2-3 years ago. BALLER!

Also posted because Connor Barth, as usual, clowns on the extra point. MCR, call up your boy and tell him to stop clowning like that or he’ll never make it in the big leagues!!
