Ryan taught me a little photoshop a couple weeks ago. I’m LOVING it. Sometimes the writing/rapping/music becomes stagnant, but you still want to have a creative outlet. I think I found another one. This isn’t done, is a little rough and the font is questionable. But whatever. It’s art…

THIS IS AWESOME!
The Ford Focus line in the 4th verse is incredible.
Every once and a while the proof exposes a gem.
This is one of those moments.

Update: The VS. EP Digital Release
Greetings –
We would like to apologize to all of those searching for the VS. EP, not knowing where to find it or when it will be available digitally. We now have answers (for real). The VS. EP will be available at Myspace.com/Macklemore, Myspace.com/RyanLewisMusic and BengalYucky.com on Tuesday 12/15/09. That is less than a week away. It will be worth the wait – the digital release will feature a song the hard-copy does not have and newly mastered editions of known tracks. Check back in these coming days as we will be posting pictures and video footage from the EP Release Party at Nectar and information on our recording studio opening up to musicians. Thank you for your patience.

Hand Boarding VS. Finger Boarding
Although I’ll probably get shit from the fingerboard community, it’s time to post this. I know, I know…I’m supposed to hate hand boarders. And I do. With their sandpaper hands, big tables, greasy hair and rockabilly music, they embody everything I can’t stand about hand sports.
There has been a long standing, deep seeded war between those that use their fingers and those that use their hands in the world of mini thrashing. It’s a beef that began with the rise of the Eastcoast/Westcoast rap rivalry, that tore the country in half and plagued the 90’s…Except this beef, is more violent.
There was a time where you wouldn’t be caught dead at Northgate with a fingerboard, especially in front of the popular hangout “Ivars” in the foodcourt. “Ivars was the spot man” says pro Finderboarder Macklemore. We use to line up like 4 tartars and a ketchup and see who could backside flip over them. There use to be all day sessions from Red Robin to Lids. Just people expressing their fingers and ripping. When the handboarders came…everything like…changed.”
The handboards feel differently. “They’re a bunch of pussies” screams Dave-Daniel “Broken Bonz” Sam. “They have hands too, right? They’re just too afraid to use the whole thing. Do they hate their palms? Thought so.”
