So I was listening to some of Cage’s previous albums and decided to do a little search on the internet to see what he is up to.

I have always been a fan of Hieroglyphics and their music and I am still glad they are still putting it down for hip-hop. They have never stopped so this is not a come back.
If you are like me then you have the too many games and not enough time to play them.
One thing I always worry about is when a group breaks up or want to put out solo albums is that one artist gets the shine and releases more music.

Okay stop whatever you are doing and go to AmazonMP3 store because they are having a sale on albums for $5 dollars a piece. It is very random what is on sale and it is just best to look if the album you want is on sale.
Thanks King Fantastic you have given me another reason to miss the west coast with the video of “Class of ’97 (1979)“.

Trying to expand my vinyl catalog and was surprised by a nice little gem some record companies are doing to keep buyers purchasing physical copies.
I first witnessed Juart Little’s impressive work at DeviantArt and was taken back by his use colors and expressions. He definitely chooses some of my favorite artists to give his interpretation through his designs.
Sometimes the screenshot is enough…[ : Video")](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoLzPumZyrY) Pre-orders are up on Fifth Element for Evidence – Cats & Dogs and you get this song, Same Folks featuring Fashawn (video above)...

Ninja Senki is the brain child of Jonathan Lavigne and is a throwback to old school platformers with refreshing gameplay.

There are two albums that definitely caught me by surprise with releases this month.
John Robinson delivers fierce lyrics to any track he spits on. Now he has teamed up with Robot Koch to transform into Robot Robinson.

It is that time again for the 7digital.com holiday sale called the Advent Calendar and they will be bringing deals until the 24th of December. December 10th is there hip-hop sale with albums from $3-$5 a piece.
So it is that time of the year again where I wrap it up with my top picks of 2010. So much great hip-hop out there and a lot of it I missed but will try to make up for next year.
The movie, Unthinkable poses the question, how far would the United States go to protect itself from a terrorist? To answer the question is Samuel L. Jackson as the mysterious interrogator/torturer simply known as “H”.
Paul Robertson has been one of my favorites ever since I have seen his video, “Kings of Power 4 Billion %“. His artwork and videos have always made me think he should make a video game.
While downloading, “Madvillian – Papermill” like instructed to by Stones Throw, I missed this Madlib interview the first time.
I haven’t put up a game trailer in awhile (I believe the last one was Bioshock). I enjoy when the tone or atmosphere of the game is set by the game trailer. Medal Of Honor: Leave A Message does just that.
Doing my usual deviantART browsing and typed in hip-hop and this little gem popped up. The artist goes by DirtyDre and this is his take on some of his (and my) favorite emcees.
Recently I purchased the Shaolin Wu cap from AmazingStore.jp and wanted to make a video of the cap coming out of the box. The stitching and quality is just what you expect from a New Era cap, excellent.
New music video from Turbo from his forthcoming album: ElectroRock v5:LLLLL. This was written, directed and pretty much everything else was done by him and his directing skills are stepping up to the next level.

If you remember auto reverse then you had a cassette collection of hip-hop that you lost once you went digital. Fast forward and now we have another F.A.T.

Here is everything that I acquired from the Steam Holiday Sale that ended on January 3, 2010. This should satisfy my gaming needs until 2011 (we will see if I don’t buy more games before then).
It is here a new year and time to take the music out of the crates…uh I mean hard drive and see what I played in 2009. I didn’t want to make the typical top 5, 100 or whatever number you want to throw in there.
Wanted to have a separate place from Ecliptic Sight to display artwork, designs and photos. Art by Ecliptic Sight was the outcome with the focus on the art instead of the words.
Now that it is after the holidays and everyone has probably received some extra cash to spend.
So this Christmas Dumbfoundead and I have decided that you all should enjoy this CD in your iPod or CD player for FREE, on us. ~8 Bit Bandit

Finally got around to rebuying Killarmy – Dirty Weaponry after my CD was scratched up beyond recognition from being played too much.
There are certain artists out that make music for the love and progress of hip-hop and music, either by what they say or do.
Here is another album cover done by headpiece747 for the video game, Lost Planet. The soundtrack was included on the collector’s edition of the game.
Found this artist named indi1288 on DeviantART that takes photos and turns them into digital art. This one caught my eye because it is of Milla Jovovich from one of my favorite movies the Fifth Element.
Here is a new video for two songs off of Tone Spliff’s Authentic album. First up Krumbsnatcha takes the mic and lets us know that he makes the music for his fans with the song, “Do It For You”.
What do you think? Just picked up Team Fortress for the scary price of $2.49 from Steam available for that price from October 29th until 2:00 PDT.
DJ headpiece747 goes on a drunk shopping spree and this is what he bought:
Here is something new to the sight (site), that will be an outlet for DJ headpiece747 to put up some of his obscure or familiar music.
Artist: Hasan Salaam Song: 15 Minutes Album: Children of God Director: Mark Carranceja
So I passed the Digital Dust – Dusty Folders Vol.1 to DJ headpiece747 and he was taking back by the skills of Primus Maximus on the Monome.
Primus Maximus (of Digital Dust) put up this video of him using a device called a Monome. He reworks Raekwon’s “Incarcerated Scarfaces” and adds some scratching to make a chilled out version.

I know the title of this post is dramatic but this video is crazy. College Humor enlist the talents of Freestyle Love Supreme as their interns to do a freestyle battle in the office. Just watch then it will make sense.
Now is the time to go buy the Rakim single, “Holy Are You”, from Amazon, Itunes, Emusic or other reputable digital outlets. The reason why I am promoting this song so much is because:
I found Logan Walters’ Wu-Note Project by accident, searching for images to update my MP3 collection. After seeing the cover for GZA’s Beneath The Surface, I had to find out who was the designer.
Do you remember the cover for Atmosphere’s third album called, “God Loves Ugly?” This time it is your chance to have your mug on the cover.
Remember the Rakim post then you will recall me talking briefly on Soul Assassins TV. Here is the full rundown, DJ Solo of Soul Assassins fame has the time slot of 6-8pm PST with the show called DJ Solo’s 40s & Blunts.
So I was watching Soul Assassins TV (more on that later…) and DJ Solo drops a Rakim joint that I never heard before.
Okay, okay I confess that I heard of the Stones Throw project OJ Simpson from Madlib (Otis Jackson) and Guilty Simpson about a year ago.
Evidence from Dilated Peoples has been making his mark with his solo albums (The Weatherman LP & The Layover EP). EV continues that tradition by now signing to Rhymersayers Entertainment.
So when DJ headpiece747 isn’t mixing or drinking his life away, he likes to design stuff. From the new design of the sight (site) or missing album art from his CD/MP3 collection.
Here are the videos to go along with the photo review. Enjoy.

Well this might shock some of you but I did manage to get to E3 aka Gamer’s Paradise. The wonderful group that got me into E3 this year is Kaieos. Kaieos is spearheaded by Keith Vu.
Werner Von Wallenrod’s Humble, Little Hip Hop Site is a little gem that I discovered around 1998 and have used ever since. What Werner does that has kept me hooked all this time is list albums from Hip-Hop artists.
Roosevelt Franklin – Bare Food Mr. Len and Kimani Rogers (Roosevelt Franklin) are back after their groundbreaking album “Somethings Gotta Give” with their follow up album “Bare Food”.

Through my usual link hopping I stumbled across a little quicktime movie loading up and boom a rocket was born.
Although this was an elaborate hoax, Marco Ecko has done something that would have put him in the hall of fame for graffiti. He has tagged the U.S. President’s Air Force One jet with the words, “Still Free”.
AM-DeadLink will break the disobeying bookmarks that clutter your internet browser. What AM-DeadLink does is simple it will search and locate duplicate bookmarks and give the option of destroying them.
I have crawled through 960 free SxSW songs from my previous post to deliver you only the Hip-Hop tracks from their selection. So without further ado, free legal Hip-Hop tracks from SxSW.

Smif N Wessun feat. Dead Prez – Warrior’s Heart Video From the album Reloaded
Binary Star – Masters of the Universe (MOTU) Binary Star – Waterworld Two free full length albums for download from Subterraneous Records. It seems that Binary Star really got screwed over on these two albums.
My title sounds like a song, “Golden Axe Gone Away…” You can finish the rest if you must but before I get off track. I recently put my Golden Axe arcade cabinet on Craigslist.org for sale.
Proof from the group D12 was murdered outside of a Detroit night club. Proof was only 32 years old and was a gifted artist.
I have been on a recent Firefox binge thanks to UNEASYsilence.com. They put up three articles that I have adapted into my Firefox life. The first one is skinning the ‘fox with a theme called Flock.

You can now preload SiN Episodes: Emergence through your Steam client. If that makes no sense to you then refer back to my previous post on SiN Episodes.
PSP Magazine This sight has been around since the debut of the PSP and has only gotten better. They had a few magazines that were formatted for the PSP to now still offering magazines, videos, music, news and more.
SXSW 2006 South by Southwest 2006 is upon us and if you cannot go like me that does not mean you cannot enjoy the music.
Over at ThinkGeek.com you can own the ultimate portable media center on Earth. It is called iZilla Digital Media Monster and it is better than all other portable players.
In the same vein of my Free PSP Content I also try to find free and legal music that I can download. Be sure to check my post for 1 Million Free and Legal Music Tracks for more music.
John Kricfalusi the man behind the wildly popular Ren and Stimpy has created a blog called all kinds of stuff.
There will be a total solar eclipse on March 29th, 2006. Why am I making such a big deal? You do know the name of this sight, the logo and it only happens once or twice a year, right? Well for the non-cynical types,...
If you were crazy enough to get your Sony PSP at launch like I did then you were probably as hungry as me to feed it all the free legal content I could get my hands on.
What do you get when you mix an evil cyborg, animation and Hip-Hop? The answer is in the title, the AntiFlow teaser trailer of course.
Metal Slug Heads rejoice for our favorite black device will be home to the Metal Slug Collection.
That’s right kiddies do you remember Miami Vice. No, well have you played Grand Theft Auto: Vice City? Yes, so they pretty much ripped off the whole show except for the violence and mafia.
I was looking for an article at my local library (Google.com) for a PSP server that I heard about. Basically some developers were trying to run a sight hosted off of a Sony PSP.
Wu-Tang is for the children. We teach the children… -ODB at the Grammys
Shoot the Core is the next in line of sights offering free goods for your computer. What are shmups? That is short for shoot ’em ups that are similar to 19XX, Ikaruga and R-Type.
XP Games – A Windows XP Freeware Game Guide has put up a impressive list of freeware games for your daily entertainment. This great thing to see in a time of $60 dollars and lackluster titles.
I was checking my older posts and noticed some posts were not uploaded or did not come over from Blogger. So I decided to add them all at one time to make my post count jump to 46 in total.
Well I have done the impossible and beat Half-Life 2. It was not impossible but challenging with puzzles to figure out and an intriguing story. This game is the total package: graphics and game play.
Welcome to a new experience in review sites. Ecliptic Sight was born out of a simple idea, as most things are to only give information of things that are good.
It started with CS:S and now Half-Life 2 has claimed the rest of my life. If I did not have to work I would have to force myself to stop playing so much. I am now a CS:S and HL-2 addict with no sign of recovery.
My first impression of Counter-Strike: Source or CS: Source for short or CS:S for shorter was simply breathtaking. Visually this game will annihilate most console games.
So where are the Natural Born Killers or Dark Knight Returns Reviews? Well, you can blame Counter-Strike: Source for that not happening. I am a full Counter-Strike: Source addict.
This review would have eventually been written but due to the circumstances, I thought it would be appropriate to do it now. J Dilla aka Jay Dee was born on February 7, 1974 and passed away on February 10, 2006.
Firewater will officially be Tha Alkaholiks last album as a group. This marks over ten years of drunken funk from Catashtraphe (Tash), J-Ro and E-Swift.
1 Million Free and Legal Music Tracks – Free Music for your downloadable enjoyment. I found this sight about two years ago and have downloaded countless MP3s. The sight has lots of different genres to pick from.
This was a list that I posted on the CAG forum about my top CDs of the 90s. I based my list on how I much I listened to each CD back then and how it impacted me at that time and now.
Jay Dee aka J Dilla passes away at age 32 on Februray 10, 2006. This is really sad day in music because he had his own sound and it will be missed.
I wish I had found this website when it first started as I would be swimming in video games by now. That is a personal dream.
I have finally gotten around to posting all 4 of my reviews for last years E3. It was a great show and one of my personal dreams to attend.
Day 3: Today I was on a mission because there was so much I still had not seen and played and this was the last day! This was the first time in my life I wish I had a PDA because in my mind I had a long list of what I...
Day 2: Walking towards the convention to E3, Atari had their logo Matrixized with the then unreleased Matrix Online.
Project Blowed will be the host of Battle of the Beats 2. It will feature musical producers coming with their finest tracks.
Well I told you in my previous post that Detrimental Storm was approaching…well folks it has finally arrived. Detrimental Storm does not only have one sight but four sights for your musical progression.
Do you have Ecliptic Sight Perspective? Well do you? That’s correct ladies and gentlemen I am back from server purgatory to give you what you need.
My last host is still down and has not reinstated my sight so I had to jump ship again to a new server. Hopefully this will be my final home.
Welcome to a new experience in review sites. Ecliptic Sight was born out of a simple idea, as most things are to only give information of things that are good.
Danger Doom: The Mouse and the Mask is a great concept album but to sum it up that way would not do it justice. Danger Doom is one part Danger Mouse, one part MF Doom and a dash of Adult Swim.
Day 1: I walk in and my senses went into overload from all the lights, sounds and people. I can honestly say I have never been to any event quite like this.
For my first music review I chose Redman: Dare Iz A Dareside. You’re probably wondering out of all the vast amount of albums and artists. Why would I choose this one? One word: Consistency.
Steam has done it again with another great map release in the form of cs_militia. Hands down this is one of my favorite maps and I have been playing it a lot in the past couple of days.
I am becoming a first person shooter connoisseur and on my quest to becoming the FPS dominating human. I will need more games to feed my FPS frenzy. What better way to do this than with free FPS.
Dilated Peoples have always made music for Hip-Hop fans. Dilated just makes raw and pure music with the beats, rhymes and scratching that are cleverly put together.
Maybe a lot of people have already seen this video or heard this song from Mos Def called Katrina Klap. It was released after Katrina crashed in and devastated so many lives.
Warrock has been trying to keep up with my Steam buddies at Valve by releasing new features and updates constantly. From the time I started playing it they added blood splatter and a new map.
When I read on a PSP news sight that 29HD Network was opening a pay-per-video download service I had two words: Thank You. This is exactly what I have been waiting for since I bought my PSP last March.
Ultimate Avengers is coming to DVD and UMD soon (February 21 to be exact). This will be based on the Marvel Ultimate comics that have been making a stir in the comic industry.
Well it seems my partner in crime has a new website up called Detrimental Storm Productions. On his sight (yes that is how I say website or site, clever no?!) you can discover producer extraordinaire Mr.
Just added a recently played tracks to my sidebar. My intentions was to add the Last.fm weekly tracks box but it was to big for my sidebar.
Just found this on last.fm, a way to show the weekly track chart on my sight. It will be a way to show what music I listen to the most and what I am currently listening to the most.
Valve has done a great thing for the gaming community by adding Steam as their download system. It not only allows for people to buy games but also download demos, patches and models.
Just wanted to say happy holidays to everyone and I hope it is a great time with family and friends. Also a happy new year and don’t drink as much as me, which is pretty close to drunk status.
SiN Episodes will be another game delivered through Steam provided by Valve. Valve are the makers of Half-Life and Counter-Strike series and have created a download system for their games as well as third party...
So I stopped by one of my favorite sights for optimizing my pc, TweakGuides and low and behold sitting on the front page is this tagline: WarRock – A Free Battlefield 2 Alternative.
Just added a search button to the left menu to make it easier to find articles and reviews from the sight. This is making everything so much easier like I posted before.
Just got my F10 in the mail and it is everything I expected and more. To your right you will see my first picture taken of my Half-Life 2 box looking shiny in black.
My E3 experience could not be summoned up in one word. It would probably fill up three thousand pages if I wrote out every little detail of days at the big event.
The first music review of the Sight had to be Redman. Hands down the most charismatic character in Hip Hop. He has consistency coming out his pores. Think that is bad see how many times I use consistency in my review.
It is no secret that I am a CS:S addict but a Counter-Strike: Source Surf addict takes time and patience. Up until recently I had neither one for Surf maps.
First, I have to thank Clark Steel at Gamerave.com(seems the sight has not been updated for awhile) for giving me the tickets to go to E3. None of this would have been possible without him and his Sony PSP blog site.
Well I talked about how great Xfire is and put up my profile with Xfire’s miniprofile. The miniprofile is accessible once you login to Xfire.com. You can change the size and style but that is about it.
What if there was a way of founding your gaming friends online? Better yet there was a way of telling what game they are playing? On top of that being able to talk to them and then joining their server with the same...
Alright here it is the brand spanking new ultra spectacular totally different sight. Okay okay it looks almost the same but I have switched the format to blogger.com.
