Tupac back?

A little over 10 days ago the hip-hop world celebrated (what would have been) Tupac Shakur's 40th birthday on June 16. We here at Stash Box have mad love for Tupac, one of the best in the game, dead or alive. In addition, Pac was one of the realest and baddest motherfuckers to have ever lived.

While the internet media boomed with a bunch of Pac related content consisting of tributes and other rappers recalling memories of Pac, one thing that came out during the period was a new single by Rick Ross and Meek Mill entitled 'Tupac Back'. According to Rick Ross, the record was conceived as a tribute to Pac and his impact on the game. As Rick Ross puts it they were "paying homage to Tupac". Let's have a listen to this homage...

Bringing Tupac back? This track is steaming pile of shit: the same brand of ignant, generic shit on a whack beat being produced these days. Apart from the referencing of several song TITLES (not lyrics) and his name, this track ain't got shit to do with Pac's legacy. Trust Rick Ross (one of the phoniest, fake-ass motherfuckers in the game) and his cronie Meek Mill (who is Meek Mill anyway?) to be making money off Tupac's name through this whack ass song about themselves. Who expected Rick Ross (a.k.a Officer Ricky) to pay proper homage to Tupac in the first place? Is Officer Ricky really making an homage to Pac when he's saying shit like "Brenda's having my baby"? Isn't Brenda's Got a Baby about a 12 year old girl who fell victim to the fucked up shit (underage pregnancy via incest) that happens in the ghetto? Rick Ross don't know shit about shit.

Pac wasn't about that bullshit, he never spit about Mercedes Benzs and brand new rims. There's some words of Pac that I will never forget. This footage is from an interview done in 1994, while Pac was in prison...


What I want people to know is that don't.... don't support the phonies, support the real youknowwhatimean? How can these people be talking about how they so real but they don't care about our communities? How can they be talking about how they all this y'know the hood bahblahblahblahblah they don't care about our communities. Listen to the words people say in they lyrics and tell me, if that's some real shi- if that's real to you? yknowwhatimean? Listen to what they sayin. Dont just bop your head to the beat, peep the game, and listen to what I'm sayin, hold us accountable for it nahmean?
Listen to what people say, watch people. Cuz you can fake for a long time, but one day you gon show yourself to be a phony yknowwhatimean? And that's what alot of people are doin these days.

17 years later, Pac's name ends up getting spit all over the same shit he was telling you to watch out for? Also, Officer Ricky is a prime example of someone who got outed as a phony. Tupac Back = a steaming pile of shit on his legacy.

The good people here at Stash Box are going to pay homage to Tupac's legacy by bringing some of that REAL Tupac vibe back: We are declaring war on these same bitch-made phonies.

To all the fake ass bitches like Meek Mill and Rick Ross, this is what 2Pac is saying from thugz mansion...


Watch out for part 2 of this multiple part expose on fake-ass rappers in the game.....

Honeybeats EP

While we all up on this phony business, it's time for a fresh breath of the real. Today our boy Kaligraph E has just dropped his first official release: a little 6 track EP full of delicious gems entitled 'Honeybeats EP'. Like a pack of candy snakes, each track carries a small punch of sweetness per dose.

3 months later...

It's been a while since we put an update, but expect a few new gems in the not too distant future.

It's been 3 months since I made the post about Libya, 3 months since NATO undertook their operation.



So what's been happening since they started?
- Bombing civilians? Check
- Killing of civilians? Check
- Daily bombings? Check
- Bombing neutral buildings including universities? Check
- Using high grade and possibly experimental weaponry (depleted uranium)? Check

Instead of giving a measure of what's real, the disinformation game is taking place, drawing away from the real issue of kids being blown up by discrediting the "lies" coming out of Libya and dismissing the fact that people are being blown up altogether.

When Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama start speaking on behalf of "the world" but India, China and Russia want nothing to do with this, who do Hilary and Obama speak for?

And when Lupe Fiasco starts calling Obama the biggest terrorist, you know shit just got real.

Dirty games are taking place.

You better start recognising folks.

p.s. Keep eating that dick, punk. Looking forward to more comments.

Golden Standards

Alright folks, I know it’s been a long while since there was an update, and I for one, blame my ridiculous uni schedule and stacking up of bullshit group assignments. Also I’ve been super lazy, but today came an article that finally stirred me from my slumber. Two police shootings in Melbourne in 2 days…no thanks. Osama Bin Laden killed? Pass. Nope, this one is about Australian television’s night of nights; the TV Week Logie awards.

Now for those loyal international readers (ones we haven’t already lost due to sporadic updating), I’ll break it down for you. Americans: think Daytime Emmys, but downgraded by about 10 times. Worse shows, worse actors, much lower production values and just grade-A bullshit. Everyone else: it’s a shitty award show where people who consistently give terrible performances on television are rewarded for their shittiness. It’s kind of like if there was an award show where the only candidates are Andy Dick.

Anyhow, here is today’s reading material, hot off the press from the ever illustrious www.news.com.au .

 Ahhh the coveted gold Logie; the award everyone on Australian television lusts after for some unknown reason. The damn thing is ugly as hell.

Karl, his wife and the gold Logie.

 The winner of the gold Logie for 2011 is one Karl Stefanovic, television host and disaster report go-to-guy for channel Nine in 2011. Hilariously made a fool of himself in a previous Logies award ceremony by getting smashed and doing drunk-guy shit on camera.

“Thanking his wife Cas, he said: "She has been a great influence on my life and has also got the best arse I have ever seen."

Enter: contemporary feminism. Now if you have done your reading, you will know that this article is mostly about shit that happened at the Logies that night. However part of this article is devoted to Karl’s acceptance speech, where he apparently made and ass of himself.
The above quote is the line in question where people have ridiculously dubbed Stefanovic a sexist, or at the very least, labeled the comment sexist. Let’s take a step back and examine this line for a bit. Karl Stefanovic has done his fair share of reporting this year, the various and numerous natural disasters, the royal wedding, all that jazz. He comes home to be at this award ceremony and wins the most illustrious Logie of them all. In his acceptance speech he credits his wife (read it people: WIFE) for having been a great influence on his life, and also for having “the best arse [he] has ever seen”.    
Now, children, can anybody tell me what is so sexist about this comment? The man is obviously elated from having beat out all the other chumps for the most-valuable-chump award. In his acceptance speech, the man compliments his WIFE - not his girlfriend or mistress, but the woman he’s married and has children with – for being a great influence on him and also for having a nice arse. SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT WENT WRONG HERE.
In 2011, countless articles have been written about how women are not appreciated or valued enough by men, not given the credence they deserve and downright trodden on by us chauvinist pigs (there are some on this very blog), and this guy compliments his wife’s ass and is immediately labeled a sexist? Is there even a slight possibility of men NOT being labeled sexist short of first being spayed? I can’t recite my fucking ABC’s without being labeled a fucking sexist.

Now I know some of you might be thinking this is the end, and oh how I wish it was, but if you’ve ever read any of my shit on Stashbox, you’ll know that it’s never over with these stupid femcunts.

Most of the article is useless babble about other stuff that happened at the Logies, but right near the end comes the kicker:

“But picking up her best new talent award, The Circle host Chrissie Swan showed why the audience loves her.
Looking at ageing classical musician Andre Rieu, she said: " I tell you what Andre, if I was 30 years older!"
Six months pregnant, Swan said: "I'm a hormone with a hairdo" and spoke of how she shares the couch on The Circle with a group of women who share their tears and "we talk about boobies and whatever".
"See if you can throw that piece of cake into my mouth"

I tell you what Andre, if I was 30 years older. And maybe 100 kilos lighter… But seriously now, this woman who hosts a morning panel show (a panel made up of women, hint hint) has basically propositioned (you know how I mean) a distinguished musician, and "the audience loves her". ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?? Not only is the generously named “best new talent award” a fucking farce (as well as the whole ceremony itself), but she has gotten on stage and made a sex gag in front of hundreds of thousands and it’s all good? FUCK THAT.

 For those of you who don't get the point yet, I'll put it in layman's terms:
 ‘I love and appreciate my wife’s influence and physical body’ – SEXIST
‘I’m a massively fat land whale and I would have sex with you, Andre Rieu, if only I was EVEN OLDER THAN I ALREADY AM’ – HILARIOUS
Take into account that Andre Rieu is an established and highly acclaimed classical musician who makes millions of dollars and is considered a pretty funny guy, and this fat bitch becomes more and more offensive as the seconds pass.

You think this:
She isn't even pregnant here. No I'm not kidding

Has a legit case to get with this????
See that shit behind him? That's a goddamn ORCHESTRA. You couldn't even get a chair behind Swan.

Not only does this quote offend me, but my eyes have been assaulted with the visual of this queen-of-dugongs while she is fully clothed, let alone doing the nasty with an old man. “Where is the justice?” I hear you asking. I’ll tell you where; in Johanna Griggs’ control:

“Seven's Johanna Griggs, accepting a Logie for Better Homes and Gardens, took him to task on it, and the room was with her. "Karl, we don't have bum and boobs jokes; it's just nice family viewing," she said.

She later told The Australian that the ceremony "didn't have to be like that . . . I was just saying, 'C'mon, guys, it's a really smart room just lift it a little bit'".


No kidding people. Family viewing apparently does not include the appreciation of a man’s wife, however it does include a vision of obesity (won’t somebody think of the children?) propositioning a distinguished man in front of hundreds of thousands. We don’t have bum and boobs jokes hey Johanna? Well your good friend Jabba the Hut begs to differ, “we talk about boobies and whatever”.

And I ask again: WHERE IS THE JUSTICE?

Enjoy being free while you can, boys, because with the way this bullshit is seeping into peoples’ minds, being a man will soon be a crime punishable by death…or maybe they’ll just make you get with Chrissie Swan.

Obituaries: Wiz Khalifa



CAMERON Jabril Thomaz was born in Minot, North Dakota to a mother and a father serving in the military. Due to his parents’ service, Thomaz spent time in Germany, England and Japan before finally landing in Pittsburgh to attend Taylor Allderdice High School.

A rapper to some, a star to himself, when he was 16, had all the intentions to keep it G. Notorious for taking niggas hoes to smoke hella trees wit em, the young boy fresh was known for rollin blunts of 50s, stuck in his moms basement, havin dro for sale, however niggas was smokin haze then. His stage name ‘Wiz Khalifa’ derived from people saying that he was wise beyond his years, with ‘Khalifa’ meaning successor, Cameron always had a sunny disposition and would never turn down a shot of Tanqueray. From champagne pouring to paper plane twistin, he was never lacking in confidence. Always critical of those speculating that his plane would land, he failed to see that his landing was part of his own doing...

Enjoying growing success as his work progressed over the years, Khalifa’s movement, the ‘Taylor Gang’ was his most positive creation, but later on he would find it was also his most heinous. The ‘Taylors’, growing in numbers, were forever singing his praise, and rightly so. After all, the Kid Frankie inked his whole body and you know what? He never gave a motherfuck.

However it is yet more ‘Taylor Gang’ members who would see to his end. After signing to Atlantic Records in 2010, the Flight School graduate (with honours) had his soul taken from him. Forced to do collaboration after collaboration with ‘Stargate Productions’, they took the young boy’s heart and destroyed it, forever relegating him to the hallowed halls of post-fame. As such, the new-school ‘Taylors’ support him no matter how many unnecessarily poppy, over-synthesised and shitty tracks he puts out now, claiming they had always been there from the beginning. Now these lames fucks wit them blunts full of schwag and rep 'Taylor' as if they mean it. Wiz has had his image defaced by these new ‘Taylors’, having his face used as display pictures on facebook in celebration of the music industry’s latest sacrifice to the lord Baphomet, rather than to mourn the death of such a G.

Once so true to his roots as the Taylor Gang General, the Prince of the City turned dark horse for Los Angeles one day woke up, looked in the mirror and had to shoot the first thing he saw...

A truly sad day for all involved, on the eve of his first album dropping from Atlantic Records, we are gathered here today to mourn the death of Wiz Khalifa. To the ages, we commend your memory, from the jets to the paper planes, still blazin still blazin still blazin...

A tribute to when Wiz was still with us:

Dating advice? On a blog?? WE COULD RULE THE WORLD!

Come one come all! To the first instalment of Helyetica’s very own dating advice column! You read right folks, I am starting my own dating advice column. Why you ask? Well the answer is simple really; being as I browse these jokes of websites run and owned by major Melbourne newspapers, I am subjected to the horrible excuse that passes for dating advice in this day and age.
Make no mistake, I hate dating advice writers as much as any person with an IQ higher than single digits, they are a blight on today’s society and somehow dictate the rules of ‘the dating game’. Upon viewing today’s reading material, this humble (read: opinionated) young man has had enough of this bullshit. Stash Box's very own ‘dating advice column’ is dedicated to the drawing and quartering of modern dating advice funneled down our throats by the fucking idiots at theage.com.au and news.com.au (the Herald Sun website) who seem to think that modern society doesn’t have enough ills bringing it down already.  

So let’s get down to the brass tacks shall we? Today’s contestant is a surprisingly attractive dating columnist who goes by the name of Samantha Brett. She is the resident dating ‘expert’ at www.theage.com.au. The one whom the editors have deemed fit to tell mostly clueless, horny, middle aged women (and a bunch of beta bitch boys) how to hook up with the opposite sex, as well as give her two slutty cents about anything else to do with sex, relationships and life as a woman in general. Sounds like a real riot right? Read some of her stuff and you’ll see exactly what I mean.
The notes for today are not about dating per se, but rather the ‘empowerment’ of women in modern society. As always, read your notes kids!


The title of the article will already give you some insight as to what will be discussed in the article, namely ‘loose girls’, or, what the good people here at Stash Box like to refer to as ‘sluts’.

“The other day I heard an interesting interview on the radio with a woman who described herself as having spent her youth "hopping from one man's bed to another"

The beginning of this article serves not only to introduce the issue of women behaving like whores, but also to give us an insight into modern media. This is the kind of tripe that pollutes the air waves when you aren’t being ear-raped by the very latest bullshit track from unapologetically slutty chicks like Ke$ha or Rihanna. How does that make you feel people? What’s that? I can’t hear you over the brain dead moaning coming from your motionless body. Listen to too much radio and this is what will really happen to you, heed the warning children.

“Of course, any woman who has casual sex with a man she's not in a relationship with will know all too well that, on the night, while she might feel closer to the dude she's bonking (physically, emotionally, even spiritually!), the next morning when the booze has worn off, the pheromones have died down and she's no longer looking as hot as she did the night before, he's (most of the time) no longer that into her.”

Where do I start? Sam suggests that any woman who sluts it out with a man WILL know that the morning after the dude will not be so interested. “No longer looking as hot as she did before” can be interpreted as code for: when she looks like Courtney Love, has cockbreath (like Courtney Love) and sounds more like a man than the dude she just bumped uglies with (Hole anyone?). Readers, how do you think you would feel either being greeted by this image, or heaven forbid, EMBODYING this image? It’s not rocket science folks, really now.

 "Don't be scurred girl. OWN that sexuality. WORK those oral herpes"

Hilarious yet filthy images aside, this poses two problems. Firstly, if these women truly know this, as the author states, what does this say about modern women? Does this sound like empowering knowledge for a woman to you? Secondly, if they don’t actually know this, as I think a lot of modern women don’t, then what the hell must be going through her mind?

This leads me to my next talking point; alcohol. “The next morning when the booze has worn off”, writes Sam, giving another unintended, yet startling insight into modern Western culture. This is the world we live in, children. A world where it is automatically assumed that any sort of late night romp you have must be fueled by alcohol. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at the accuracy of this claim. Having been a leading proponent of this kind of behaviour myself, I am inclined to weep, WEEP FOR WHAT WE HAVE LOST.
Many today wonder what has happened to the youth of today and indeed, the adults too, where alcohol is blamed for so much of society’s ills. This is your culture people, this is so deeply ingrained into everyday life that people are starting to see past alcohol as a problem in itself, and look for other reasons why people are so fucked up and stupid these days. The passing, off-the-cuff manner in which booze is mentioned her only solidifies my point.    

“…while women are entitled to the same physical pleasures as men, society still frowns upon a gal who owns her own sexuality, has sex like a man would and forgets to call him the following day, if ever again. And therein lie the double standards.”

Dear ol’ Yeti, why must you always disagree with the professionals?
Yes, you may think that you are entitled to the same physical pleasures as men, but one look at any one point in history will dash your ridiculous hopes and dreams of being the town bike. Sad, I know, but there is hope for you yet, young sluttawan, if only you BELIEVE in your abilities as a whore.
The sad fact for all you hoes out there is that there is no double standard at work, this is just some more shit that is being fed to you by new age femenists that believe men are useless and demand more than equal rights. Read the fucking links and you will see why.

“CHAUVENIST PIG!” I hear you all yelling, well to you I say; shut the fuck up and listen. There is no double standard because women are sexually worth more than men. It is a basic instinct for me(n) to want to go out and fuck as many females as possible, it’s fucking science people. Women, however, must weigh up all the options before finally settling on a mate, because as we all know, it takes me(n) one night to achieve this goal, sometimes more than once (ask about me), but women will bear the effects for 9 months. 
 In terms of society frowning upon sluts, you reap what you sow. You have built this society yourselves, you girls who call other girls sluts have created your own barriers against having the cake and eating it too. You can’t have it both ways ladies. Your Western institution of marriage is a stuffy old concept which has borne the hellspawn that is known as modern divorce law.

If any of you have ever watched ‘Two and a Half Men”, you will be familiar with the character of ‘Alan’, the resident beta bitch boy. He is subject to divorce law which forces him to pay alimony to his colder-than-a-witch-tit harpy of an ex-wife, Judith. If you care to pay enough attention, you will realise that this law creates the premise of the entire show. Alan is legally kicked out of the house that he bought with his own money by his wife, and this forces him to live with his brother Charlie. Without this ridiculous law - which forces Alan to work his ass off every day to make enough money to give to Judith so that she can live without having to work or pay for anything - the show would not exist. Keep in mind that before Charlie Sheen decided to go on a winning spree, this was the most popular show in the US by far.

YOU HAVE DONE THIS TO YOURSELVES. By letting this bullshit happen, you have effectively branded yourselves sluts, because without divorce and the accompanying laws, the concept of marriage might still be pure. This might force people to actually consider what they are getting into through critical thinking, and not just spur of the moment marriages because you fucked one time and he bought you dinner. Vegas anyone?

Too bad this uni student has homework and has to postpone the rest of this article for another time.

Until then,
Helyetica.
