How perfect was Monday afternoon?
It was a beautiful, sunny day in Corona, Queens.
The Straw man was in town rocking Q-boro pinstripes.
Santana along with some middle relief help and the doorshutter K-Rod damn near gave me a shut out.
David Wright took care of business. Jason Bay represented and other players hit the ball.
Los Mets are undefeated right now and everything is right with the world.
^ FORMAT NY instore
I’m back in NYC. Washington was a trip. Meka and Ambassador were re-united in a HipHopDX x DC takeover. I fell thru the usual suspects in Georgetown. Shouts to Duk-Ki from MajorDC. Always one of my favorite heat holders in the Beltway zone.
Back up top I had to fall thru my spot Richie’s on Delancey. I was determined to copp the Air Max 2009 ‘Megatron Dons’. I saw so many homeless dudes in D.C. rocking the Penny 1/2 Cent shoe.
Since I’m a bum from the NYC area our shoe will be the Air Max 2009.
Twenty two years ago a quarterback who had been left for dead led the Washington Redskins to a Super Bowl victory over the John Elway led Denver Broncos.
Will the Doug Williams’ storyline become the Donovan McNabb redux?
The Redskins needed this trade worse than the Eagles needed McNabb.
The Redskins needed respectability in the league, at least the NFC East.
Everybody becomes a kid again for Opening Day.
Being a fan of the legendary outfielder KEN GRIFFEY Jr. gets a little bit easier for me with Nike’s retro releases of his signature shoes. This summer will see the Griffey Max GD II’s back on the streets.
The first colorway is an all black with red trim. Nike is also issuing a white/grey edition right behind the all blacks in case you don’t like wearing black sneakers during the summer. The shoes rest on the patented Air Max TL platform.
Just don’t let me find out that you are using these kicks to catch foul balls [ll].
Okay, so we all saw the ERYKAH BADU video right ?
Have we all watched the ‘Scarface School Play’?
Both are super effective viral videos aimed at sparking a discussion concerning the images that we see on the daily and take for granted on how they shape our consciousness. Sex and violence are uber-pervasive memes in our culture. Sports might be the most consumed, most egregious combination of the two. Think about it, conquest and domination through the use of men playing with balls. Do you still need to see the pause sign? Fine, [ll].
Video games pick up the slack for those folks not interested in the passive act of simply watching television. These are the folks that want some hand-eye stimulation. Again, [ll]. Sex and violence are the pre-text, subtext and the text message for our cultural entertainment. Why else would Lady Gaga be so damn popular? She plays to our most basic desires of witnessing sex and violence.
EYKAH BADU spoke to Black Entertainment Television about the process of creating her viral video…
BADU’s video ‘Window Seat’ speaks to our most base visceral inclinations, which are sex and violence. Say what you want to about BADU, but she found a way to push people’s buttons without exploiting children.
