I know this has been posted many times before, but I think IBE is one of the best if not the best Hip album (I know there are many nay-sayers). I dont know what it is about the album, but the feeling of it just fuckin captivates me, and the "rawness" of Gords voice on every track strikes me like a lightning bolt. Correct me if I'm crazy but I'm sure more of you guys feel the same way I do. I dont know if its the liquor thats talking also, but the trasition between You're Everywhere and Makeshift make me want to punch people (in a good way). any ways that is my rambling of the night. thank you wisconsin

I am fairly new here , so maybe this topic has already been talked about here before , but I can add my very small experience to this list.

Who here can see themselves on any HIP concert video and/or DVD , and/or any of THE HIP's single music videos? 8)

My wife and I can be clearly be seen for about 1 second in the HIPEPONYMOUS' disc # 4. Their , video bonus DVD.

After the VIDEO KILLS section there is a doc. about THE HIP on the road.

About 3 minutes into the MACRO doc. the band is talking about the song BLOW AT HIGH DOUGH in concert.THE HIP where playing at a NEW YEARS EVE , show in Hamilton on the IBE Tour [DEC. , 31st , 2004/2005]

We had tickets in the front row and center. :mrgreen:

The camera passes briefly arcross the crowd in the front row , from one end to the other , for a shot of the audience's reaction to this song. I have short dark hair and glasses and I am beside a beautful Asian lady in a light blue sweater [she is my wife]. I have a black and gold HIP CLUB T-shirt on . I look like that I have just been shot. :lol:

I was just wondering if any one else here , has been in any HIP videos? 8)

The front row seats that night , were just incredible. They had a steel wall between the first row and the rest of the floor sections so no one could come into our front row.We had that front row all to ourselves.That was very cool. :thumb: Confusedhock: Big Grin

If any one has pictures from that night in Hamilton , please let me know.Thanks! :thumb:

The good lady (she has ventured, once, to post on here as eviekay) and I have a week off in November and wanted to go away somewhere, possibly combining the holiday with a christmas shopping spree.

Initially we were looking to go back to New York, but we've decided to go to Canada instead. So, have any of you holidayed in Canada? If so, any recommendations??

She favours Montreal, but I fancy Toronto personally...

I'd love to here some honest pro's and con's for both, or even alternate suggestions... and of course, I'd love the chance to meet some of you guys for a beer or two while I'm there (not that it will be for a while yet).

Thanks in advance :thumb:

yes, a long overdue thread for those of us that actually do like the urban music...i know there's at least a few of us...

just for appreciation, save tha hatin' fo Satan Wink !


right now, seriously, if you don't already know, you need to find out about La Coka Nostra...

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Coka_Nostra">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Coka_Nostra</a><!-- m -->

if you're too lazy to check the link, what this is essentially, is a hip hop super group featuring Everlast, Danny Boy & DJ LEthal of House Of Pain, Ill Bill of Non-Phixion, Slaine (best thing to come from Boston since the Bambino trade), and Big Left of the Knockout Kingz...and everyone in the group is white! as a matter of fact, i heard they were actually on that new show about the next white rapper or w/e...so as you can see, the mainstream is coming to them ...

but seriously, these guys are amazing, as La Coka Nostra, or even just their solo endeavours...for the life of me I can't stop listening to Slaine's "The White Man Is The Devil" volumes 1 and 2, absolutely destroys anything Eminem has ever done...

also, if you check this out and like it, but you don't know about their older shit...definately look into as much Non Phixion, Ill Bill, Slaine, Q-Unique, Sabac Red, Immortal Technique, E-dot, Jedi Mind Tricks, Virtuoso, Special Teamz, Block Mcloud, Third Kind, and Circle Of Tyrants...

and it don't stop, and it don't quit, it's so fortified, so jump on it!

  awesome Hip contest

106.9 The Bear, in Ottawa, is holding a contest and the prize is a three day trip to see The Hip in Grand Cayman - hotel, flight and tickets to the show.

However, according to the rules it's only open to those living in Ontario.

The contest itself seems elaborate and somewhat confusing so I won't try and explain it here. Go to website and look under the "Rock Rewards" link. I just heard the ad on the radio but all the info doesn't seem to be on the website quite yet (at least The Hip part) but keep checking back or listen to the station online.

  RIP Darryl Stingley

Paralyzed Stingley dies at 55

By DAVE GOLDBERG, AP Football Writer

Darryl Stingley spent more than half his life in a wheelchair, a symbol of the violence of the NFL, where large bodies collide at high speeds on every play.

He was only 26 when he clashed head-on with the Raiders' Jack Tatum during an exhibition at the Oakland Coliseum as they leaped for a pass.

That play has haunted the NFL for nearly three decades.

On Thursday, the aftereffects of Stingley's grievous injury finally took his life at age 55.

He was pronounced dead at Northwestern Memorial Hospital after he was found unresponsive in his Chicago home, according to Tony Brucci, an investigator with the Cook County medical examiner's office.

An autopsy revealed contributing factors were bronchial pneumonia, quadriplegia, spinal cord injury and coronary atherosclerosis, the medical examiner's office said.

"I am deeply saddened by the death of Darryl Stingley," Tatum said in a statement released by the Raiders. "Darryl will be forever remembered for his strength and courage. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family."

Stingley was a star receiver with the New England Patriots when he collided with Tatum on Aug. 12, 1978. With one jolt, his life was forever changed. His neck was broken; he was left a quadriplegic. In time, he regained limited movement in his right arm and was able to operate his electric wheelchair on his own.

"I have relived that moment over and over again," he said in a 1988 interview with The Associated Press. "I was 26 years old at the time and I remember thinking, 'What's going to happen to me? If I live, what am I going to be like?' And then there were all those whys, whys, whys?

"It was only after I stopped asking why, that I was able to regroup and go on with my life," he said.

His death instantly rekindled the debate over the circumstances of the accident.

"I've thought about that throw over and over the years. Could I have changed anything or done anything differently?" Steve Grogan, the Patriots quarterback who threw the pass, said Thursday. "That hit probably was not necessary in a game with no meaning."

But Chuck Fairbanks, the Patriots' coach at the time, said he couldn't find anything illegal or dirty about it. Nor did the officials; no flag was thrown on Tatum.

"I saw replays many, many times, and many times Jack Tatum was criticized," Fairbanks said. "But there wasn't anything at the time that was illegal about that play. I do think probably that play was a forerunner for some of the changes in rules that exist today that are more protective of receivers, especially if there is head-to-head-type contact. I think that probably pre-empted some of the things that happened today."

Gene Upshaw, who played for the Raiders in that game, got to know Stingley well after the injury. Now executive director of the NFL Players Association, he helped push owners to provide benefits for disabled players: $48,000 in Stingley's time; $225,000 now.

"It was one of those things that happens that everyone regrets," Upshaw said. "I know a lot of people in New England think differently, but Jack had no intention of hurting him. I saw him hit people like that a lot of times. That was the way he played."

That style made Tatum a symbol of a violent game and he never was able to shed that reputation. He eventually wrote a book titled: "Final Confessions of NFL Assassin Jack Tatum."

Stingley, who worked as a consultant for the Patriots, often visited paralyzed patients in hospitals and lived a full life despite his disability. He wrote a book about his experiences entitled "Happy to Be Alive," in 1983, and 10 years later started a nonprofit foundation to help inner-city youth in Chicago, where he grew up and attended Marshall High School.

Tatum and Stingley never reconciled. In 1996, they were supposed to meet for a TV appearance, but Stingley called it off after being told it was to publicize Tatum's book.

But when he learned that Tatum needed to have part of a leg amputated because of diabetes, he empathized.

"You can't, as a human being, feel happy about something like that happening to another human being," Stingley told the Boston Globe in 2003. "Maybe the natural reaction is to think he got what was coming to him, but I don't accept human nature as our real nature. Human nature teaches us to hate. God teaches us to love."

Broadcaster John Madden, the Raiders' coach at the time, remained close to Stingley, visiting him in the hospital daily after the injury.

"After the game, when we found out that Darryl was paralyzed, John told him that from now on he was a Raider and we should treat him as one," Upshaw said.

During his induction last summer to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Madden's thoughts weren't far from Stingley when he said, "We all like to see hard, aggressive play, but you always want the guy to get up."

Ten years ago, there was another scare for Stingley and his family when his son, Derek, was hit in the chest during an Arena Football game in Albany, N.Y. He sustained a concussion, but was not seriously hurt.

Stingley was raised in Chicago and went to Purdue after starring at John Marshall High School. In 1973, the Patriots made him a first-round draft pick.

Just when he got hurt, he seemed ready to become one of the NFL's top receivers.

In 1977, he had 39 catches with a 16.8 average and five touchdowns. Those were very good figures in an era when defensive backs were allowed to hit receivers all over the field and linemen couldn't use their hands to block.

In 1978, when he was injured, the NFL changed rules to open up the game and enacted new ones that are still in effect -- making a chuck illegal 5 yards past the line of scrimmage and giving linemen more leeway in their blocks.

Stingley is survived by his wife, Martine, and three sons, Hank, John and Derek. Funeral services are pending.
