Via 50 Minutes To Live

Tical’s comic book is actually coming out, and more information has been released since we posted about it last December. According to Amazon, Method Man will be a lean 110 page paperback. Meth cowrote the comic with David Atchison and artist Sanford Greene.

Here’s an amusingly typo-filled plot summary from the book’s Amazon entry

Private investigator Mosley Paine hasn’t always been a P.I. Before retiring to civillian life, he was a top agent of an international conspiracy known as the Order of the Secret Method, a deeply religious assembly of elite “murder priests”, descended from the Biblical Cain, who hunt creatures thought only to exist in Biblical myth. Though an excellent Method Man, Mosley suffered expulsion from the sect when it was discovered that he was having an affair with the irresistable daughter of Grand Arch Occisor d’Arc, head of the organization. But when Mosley’s arch nemisis enemy–a Leviathan of giant proportions–reappears stronger than ever and threatens to destroy all that is good, Mosley is convinced to rejoin the Secret Method to lead the epic fight against it.

The book drops on July 23rd from Grand Central Publishing.

Haven’t done one of these in ages. If you need a Weezy wallpaper for your computer this is probably the best you can get.

Hip Hop + Art is a series to feature high quality Hip Hop related art. If you have any art that you’ve come across that you think is dope or if you have some of your own art you’d like to share hit me up at Dj01 at metallungies period com.

I didn’t actually cop this. Rather, my brother copped it for me. Its the life story of MF Grimm. The format is a comic book and is spans his whole career (up to American Hunger). Very interesting stuff. I didn’t even know dude was on Sesame Street?!

Seems like kind of a downer at the end, but Grimm seems positive. Read it. You’ll see.

Two weeks ago on this day, I was in Toronto watching the best live act on earth in concert. The Roots, who I haven’t seen in about 2 years blew everyone’s mind. There wasn’t a second that wasted from all the James Brown covers to ?uestlove dancing. I didn’t bother to bring in a camera because no photo taken with my shaky/tired hands would do justice and looking at my camera phone pictures you can’t even tell that I was at the concert. This made me think of them as the perfect candidate for: Hip Hop + Art entry.

The following two I couldn’t embed into the post but defiantly deserved a mention.

Graffiti is a form of art, as well as being one of the four hip hop elements, which leads me to naturally think hip hop + art is a perfect match. With this ML is launching a new series which will feature hip hop inspired art of all forms.

I will try to do batches of stuff in entries that I find, but to kick it off I just want to do one piece. This is a superb oil painting that coincides with the recent 10th anniversary of the death of the man some also called Frank White. I think alot of hip hop heads would defiantly have this in their living rooms.
