Rock The Bells (and your Killa Shirt ) 2010

By Geng-Grizzly, on August 29th, 2010
Rock The Bells was pretty damn intense.  I am sun burnt.  The lines gettin’ in were hellish…and the line to the ferry back to the motherland (rotten as it is – NYC) was even more punishing on the senses.
I gotta say, outdoor music fests just ain’t really my thing anymore…but this one was a good one to go out on because of the handful of really dope performances.  It actually sorta felt like a Rocksteady Anniversary up at Gaelic Park…with the amount of heads, dirt/grass/dust, sun damage, and silly Hip Hop antics you came across…plus Tony Toca was KILLIN’ the tables (as usual)…just in a “V.I.P. tent” this time.
Performance Highlights:
Rakim was amazing.
Tribe was amazing (pulling out Large Pro and Neek The Exotic…and then Busta..very nice add).
Wu was fucking crazy.
Seriously…I’ve seen Wu as a unit once already…years ago…and both Ghost and Rae on separate occasions…but this recent performance was in-fucking-sane.  Every song from Enter The 36… plus favorites like “Criminology” and “4th Chamber”.  Yes.

Shouts to my PTP RTB crew: Wifey Cat, Note D, Big June, Rob Lo…as well as the duo of Wry-Lo and Spot-Lo, plus the kid Peter Baker…and my main millz from the Nuyo and Nightrain days, Apex.  More shouts to everyone who copped a Killa Shirt (even saw a FUGAZI ass “Killa Tape” shirt roaming around…had a picture of three cassette tapes….c’mon b)…

So I get online the next morning to be greeted by that!

Stock is almost out…
That’s all for now.

Bless Clark’s Soul

First off, mega shouts to Aaron for the kind words on PTP and the recent Killa Shirt video (I got you on that “Size M” family!).

So the title of this could be a witty play on words having to do with a footwear staple amongst Hip Hop heads and snazzy Brits (and sartorialistic heritage’y kids everywhere else)…but it’s really not going there.  Maybe it should have…but if you’re a good human being, you will be very fine with the original intent of this post: to showcase yet another installment of B-Less Radio’s pow wow with Super DJ Clark Kent.

So Mr. Kent…how’d you get into production?


Check out this here link for the original Boundless NY post (which includes a nice little mathematically-inclined breakdown of what made DJ Clark Kent the producer he is today).

WHERE MY KILLA SHIRT AT?!

By Geng-Grizzly, on August 27th, 2010

Just finished toiling over a hot laptop and buggy iMovie ’08 to bring you this new video.  PTP proudly presents to you…the KILLA SHIRT (aka the “Woo Tang”, aka the “John Wu”, aka the “Woo Wu”, aka the “Tony Wza”)!

The ad is a short edit of an original idea, therefore it is only hints to how this shirt fully reps all that killa shit.  A double-tribute…tied together in light of this weekend’s promise of Wu doing the entire Enter The 36 Chambers at Rock The Bells.  That ain’t no small shit, so PTP figured it was time to do something this serious…and wearable.

On the front, a bold and timeless frame off of John Woo’s masterpiece, The Killer (one of my favorites of all time).  Flip it over and you have the classic Raekwon quote (off of Enter The 36…‘s “7th Chamber” intro…)…all silkscreened as a classy purple and black color print.  To add on, remember our favorite album that retained a nickname which was then adopted as part of the namesake to this very website?  Yes, that Purple Tape.  That Purple Tape which was enveloped in audio snippets from the same John Woo work of art as referenced on the Killa Shirt along with words from the favored wordsmith behind said album.  Full circle.  Everything is everything.

TO ORDER:
Please note: we do not have a store/shopping cart system set up just yet.
To get your Killa Shirt today, send a message over to geng@purpletapepedigree.com with your shirt size and desired quantity.  We’ll set you up proper.

Sizes: S-XL (2XL and XS on special order)

Also, look out for this shirt (or another edition of it) to appear at a favorite retailer, soon…but best believe you will get the best deal by dealin’ direct.  So hit us up.

Seriously, it has been a week since receiving these in hand and the response has been tremendous.  Not one email blast, post, tumble, or tweet yet…and we’re almost out of the first batch.  Extra EARLY!
