BEAT THANG!!! FROM DA BEAT KANGZ

for some reason I had a very detailed dream about this new piece of hardware. THE BEAT THANG from a company known as the BEAT KANGZ, is a hilariously designed, named and marketed sampler/beat production studio. Check it


in my dream my friend Cito was such a prolific BEAT KANG that the company hooked him up with an infinite number of BEAT THANGZ. I really wanted to be a BEAT KANG and have my own BEAT THANG, but Cito wouldnt hook it up. Oh well I guess Im just not up to BEAT THANG snuff.
