   About itsthefoundations
theFoundation, a funk, hip-hop and soul quartet out of upstate New York, has been burning up clubs and house parties from Yale University to the Brooklyn Academy of Music since 2001. They met in August 2001 at Bard College, where they studied jazz by day, and dug deep into funk by night. Performing as a straight-ahead jazz quartet from time to time, they brought that knowledge to the music they were playing after classes, at house parties and in local clubs. Their diligent practice schedule paid off quickly, as the band secured opening slots with George Clinton and The Slip within 8 months of forming. By drawing inspiration from the likes D'angelo, The Roots, John Coltrane, The Police, Meshell Ndegeocello, and Common, they've cultivated a style that allows them to play 3-hour marathon concerts that veer from neo-soul to gospel funk to underground rap. In the last year they've recorded an album, written commissioned works, and begun touring the american northeast. Presently they are working on material for a mixtape, a stripped down hip-hop/jazz ep and writing songs for a second album. Past performances of note include: 3/2/02: Opened for George Clinton and the 420 Funk Mob, Annandale, NY May 2003: Shared bill with Brad Mehldau and Joe Lovano, Marlboro, NY August 2003: Headlined at Nuyorican Poets Cafe October 2003: Headlined Bowery Poetry Club 10/23/04: Headlined BAMCafe at the Brooklyn Academy of Music 5/23/05: Headlined Bard College Spring Fling 5/28/05: Return engagement at BAM 7/25/05: Opened for the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Woodstock, NY 8/19/05: Headlined Philadelphia Museum of Art's "Fridays after 5" series 4/29/06: Headlined Georgetown University Jazz Festival

All the girls out there are totally lying when they tell you that size does not matter. Want proof?
I am telling you this because it is the honest truth, look I should know, they say that it is all in the way you use it, not how big it is, well I got news for you all, that is pure lies.
I know from personal experience, I will tell you about a secret that Joey has made me promise to never ever tell anyone, but since he has not called me in three weeks after standing me up, I am going to break the promise and tell you how he went from having a tiny wang and in 4 months he is now about nine inches and get this, it is still getting bigger. He has been secretly taking grow pills from this site, copy and paste the address into your browser to see them. KAKIM.COM
I found out when I was at his house, three fridays ago, we were getting ready to go to the mall, so while he was in the shower, I went in his room, sneeked under his bed and found a box with pill bottles in it, there was like 9 full bottles and 4 empty ones, all ordered from KAKIM.COM I was laughing at first but then when he came in the room and caught me looking at them, he freaked out and made me sware to not ever tell anyone about them, especially girls from school or work that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the popular girls around here, when just last year he was the shyest when it came to girls.
I just never put two and two together until he explained it all to me, I did see his prick and yes, it is huge, pronostar huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering 6 bottles from the website at KAKIM.COM for you know who.. he does not have a myspace account, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the pills will work on any man, or they give you your money back, living proof that they do work on any guy, seeing is believing. KAKIM.COM

All Girls are straight up lying when they say that size does not matter, I got proof.
Heads up here for you guys, my best friend Pete has been getting all the girls at school and work after he has not had a girlfriend in the past 2 years. I asked him if he is drugging them or whatever so he told me his little secret. He has been taking these tablets, Click here so see where he gets them from CKAPS.COM they made his little magic stick grow almost double the size it was in about 2 months and he says it is still getting bigger.
I thought he was kidding around so I investigated a little bit into it and sure enough I found nine bottles of the these pills under his bed and to top that off, his 2 brothers are now taking them too, I don't know, but I am thinking now of buying them for you know who.. I know it sounds shallow but after seeing the results, it is hard to not do it.
I am telling you I have all the proof needed that they work, the place you order them from even guarentees that they will work on any guy or they give you what you paid right back. Don't pass up on this one guys, it is 100% confirmed and for real. Get them while they are still available by Going here Just copy and paste this address in your browser. CKAPS.COM
