"Jiu Jitsu is akin to a physical game of chess, in the sense both opponents begin with the same amount of options. During the course of the match, opponents will progress by taking away options from their opponent until there are no options left (aka a checkmate)."Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position from which to force an attacker to submit. The system is based on the ideal of a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique to defend themself from a bigger, stronger assailant. BJJ can be trained for self defense, sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition. Sparring and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition.
The Perry Bible FellowshipSo who is the PostmodernConsumr? We spoke to several prominent members of the hiphop community to find out:
"I remember meeting PostmodernConsumr, or PC as his friends call him, in a club in SoHo back in '93", mentions Jay-Z with faint smile on his face. "This white dude comes up to me and clowns me, making fun of my clothes. I was young and a little insecure at the time, so I wasn't sure what to say. He made me hip to the importance of looking sharp though, which is why I dress the way I do," he continued.
"Yeah, he was like 'nah, you gotta come hard L. Leave the softy ass love shit to guys like GURU and CL.' And I listened" - Big L during his last interview before the tragic shooting that claimed his life
"So why isn't PostmodernConsumr more famous?" "I'm not sure," replies Method Man. "He was never into the whole MTV, gettin in videos and makin' money shit. He was always more of a father to our styles. Sometimes I see him in the audience when we be rhymin' at shows and I feel like a shorty playin' in little leagues or somethin' wit' his father in the crowd."
"Postmodern Consumr? He like the apple-kiwi on the lightswitching wallabie freak, James Bond in the Octagon with two razors knahmean?" - Ghostface Killah
Laughing, an inebriated Slug told our journalist how the Anticon-movement actually started: "Yeah, so, I was visting Timmy (Sole - editors note) up in Maine sometime around the mid-90's. We where doing our normal thing that we did back then, trying to be black and stuff. Then Jel walked into the studio with some tape by this white artist, I think his name was Postmodernist Consumption or something, and Timmy just fucking FLIPS. He starts talking about how all this hip-hop shit is for dinosaurs and that we should stop doing this mindless boom-bap. I never got into doing the whole Anticon-thing as much as the rest of the guys, but think something flipped inside most of Anticon when they heard a white rapper being so much realer than they could ever be, you know? So they just did some new stuff instead."
"I guess he was always more of a producers producer, an MCs MC, if you understand what I mean." explains DJ Shadow. "His music is certainly funky, but noone would ever play it on the radio, and I think he liked it that way. He made music for the sake of making music. Nothing else. In a way, I guess you could say you hear his influence in all of our music."
"Before he heard PostmodernConsumr Andre 3000 was a pretty normal guy. Now I feel like he needs attention all the time!" - Big Boy of Outkast
"I'll just be honest: most of those lovestories I tell aren't really about me. They're all about this white dude from Sweden most people have never heard of. He was ok with it though. He never wanted to talk about his private life anyway" Guru once told a journalist when he was getting high after a Gang Starr show in SoHo.
"PostmodernConsumr ghostwrote Nature of the Threat" - Ras Kass
"PostmodernConsumr made me turn into a commercial MC. I realized I just couldn't compete with this guy, even after I had released Illmatic," Nas once told the press. "I thought I might as well make money rather than be a second rate artist."
"He may be a white devil on the outside, but his soul is born of mother africa" - Minister Louis Farrakhan
"If you look closely, you can see him stand behind MC Busy Bee in Wild Style's famous club scene" - Anonymous journalist from The Source
"We actually created Fondle'em just to release his music, but that cat just couldn't give a fuck less about having his music released. I still remember talking to him about it in his apartment late one night. In the end he just looked at me with those piercing eyes and asked why I was still there. Then I just realized that this cat was just going to stay in that dirty run down place he had in Brooklyn making beats and dropping rhymes, until there were no more beats or rhymes to be dropped. Then maybe... maybe... he'd relsease something. Perfectionist, man. Perfectionist" - Bobbito AKA DJ Cucumber Slice

Economics is a social science seeking to analyze and describe the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. Economics studies how individuals and societies seek to satisfy needs and wants. Alfred Marshall in the late 19th century informally described economics as "the study of man in the ordinary business of life"; the vast number of topics to which the methods of economic theory have been applied suggests to some that economics is simply "that which economists do." A common misconception in economics is that the main interest of an economist is money.
By its original and broadest definition, art (from the Latin ars, meaning "skill" or "craft") is the product or process of the effective application of a body of knowledge, most often using a set of skills; this meaning is preserved in such phrases as "liberal arts" and "martial arts". However, in the modern use of the word, which rose to prominence after 1750, “art” is commonly understood to be skill used to produce an aesthetic result (Hatcher, 1999). Britannica Online defines it as "the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others". By any of these definitions of the word, artistic works have existed for almost as long as humankind, from early pre-historic art to contemporary art.
Vegetarianism is the practice of not consuming meat, with or without the use of other animal derivatives, such as dairy products or eggs. Some people choose to refrain from wearing clothing derived from animals, such as leather and fur. Veganism excludes all animal products from diet and attire, whether or not this involves the actual death of an animal (dairy, eggs, honey, down feathers and silk). Vegetarians are found in countries across the world with varied motivations including religious, ethical, environmental, and health concerns. Many are also just pragmatists who believe vegetarianism to be a much more efficient means of feeding people (i.e. it takes less land and resources).
