EmilioSparks.com – Ski Beatz, Iron Man 2 trailer, Ronald McDonald and More!

If you haven’t been keeping up with EmilioSparks.com, shame on your soul. Emilio’s been pumping out interesting content for you, the little man.  Like what? He’s got Robot Chicken’s new He-Man parody, The amazing new Iron Man trailer, and a couple of new interviews.. Check it!

and finally our boy had an excellent in studio interview with uber-hip=hop producer Ski Beatz. If you know anything about hip-hop you understand just how important this is…

Ski formed a partnership with Darrien Dash, cousin of Damon Dash. Together, they co-founded “Roc-A-Blok” productions, as a sister company to the then fledgling, Roc-A-Fella Records. Ski contributed four tracks to Jay-Z’s debut album, Reasonable Doubt. These included the hits “Dead Presidents,” “22 Two’s”, “Politics as Usual,” and “Feelin’ It.” (via Wikipedia)

An Emilio Sparks Interview 2 Years In The Making..

I normally don’t post every interview Emilio does on DAPS because he pretty much produces more content than the rest of us combined. That being said, I’ve been in touch with this particular artists’ management pretty much since the day that we started working the internet.

After being passed some music of Beyond Belief in Early 2007, we’ve emailed, texted, facebook messaged, and communicating any other way we could. It wasn’t until this past December when Emilio was able to sit down with BOB and his producer Kwamé in the WSIA studios for his Emilio Sparks Experience. (Tuesday Nights, 11pm WSIA.fm)

Without Further adieu… here’s Emilio Sparks interviewing Beyond Belief and Kwamé

Check out BOB on MySpace here.

Davecast #10: How you can become a Superhero…

Wowzer! It has been 5 months, and the Davecast is still going strong. I am as shocked as the rest you faithful interwebbers.

What does it take to become a Superhero? The most common answer is exposure to radioactive materials. Well that is plain wrong. The correct answer, as with much of life’s problems, is drugs.

Christopher Reeve is dead. Has been for 5 years now. Oh yeah, this is his death anniversary (deathiversary?). I’m better than Superman because I’m alive and still have my powers and they aren’t lame like his “breath through a tube” or “talk real slow” abilities. Well anyhoo, let’s jump right to it. Enjoy…

Davecast #8: How to Cure Everything from AIDS to Zebras!

davecast8fataldisease

Here at the Davecast we love what we do. Whether it be fixing electronics or urban survival. Now we all have fun and josh-around, but serious issues grab our attention from time to time. This is one of those times. AIDS. We can cure it. Don’t tell the “Man” or we might get sent to Guantanamo.

As kookie as we might be, we are serious about our craft. Dead serious. That’s why we at Davecast and DAPS are here to share in family secrets. Help us help you. Take us to your family and introduce us. We’re harmless, scout’s honor. We have more magical healing powers than Jesus and David Copperfield put together. It’s just too bad about Patrick Swayze, we didn’t make it in time. For that we are deep and solemn. So we are going to try and make it up to you by giving you the secrets of cheating death. Also, I think Kanye West is a racist and needs to be helped. But we will save that for another Davecast. Thank you all.

Davecast: Living to Win: A Guide to How Winning is Done….

“That’s how winning is done!”- Rocky Balboa…. No truer words have ever been uttered nor have had a more profound effect on me. Sylvester Stallone is a great man, not just because he does steroids, but because he knows what it takes to make winning a part of his everyday life. How do you live to win? I get these questions a lot. Now there isn’t any rule book or concrete formula, it is rather a state of mind in which you live life the way you want to live it, basically.

If you’re upset that you don’t know how to live to win, then you are a lost cause and should probably go join a bowling league or act in productions of Oklahoma (Oak-la-homo) because you in fact, suck. I mean come on man, it’s not that hard to win. Look at it this way, it’s the opposite of fail. There, does that help? No? Well I have nothing more to say to you then.

Paul Stanley did the right thing by making the song “Live to Win” (Featured on South Park)… An epic win in life lessons and awesomeness… GTFO

Davecast: Dreaming dreams and forgetting Dreamcast…

Today we will delve into the realm of dreamland. No, not where that cute little eating machine Kirby is from, but rather or sleepy time T.V. I tend to have over the top dreams where anything goes. I really mean anything. I probably should see someone that has a nice comfy couch. Apparently there are books that tell you what they mean, and I’m going to find out. Have you ever watched a horned beetle fight a poisonous millipede to the death? The answer for me is yes, but that was only the beginning…..

The Davecast: Drunk-Jackets?

This week’s Davecast is delivered despite Poppa Checks having gone missing for almost a full week. He is undoubtedly wearing a straitjacket where ever he is, and that also happens to be the main theme of this episode.
