The DP dot com Football Pool (Wk 6)

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

ouch

The good news is that we will know in a few days if SNICKERS is willing to sponsor the pool. I really hope they do because the prototype sneakers that I designed at the NIKE studio called the Air Max 1 ‘SNICKERS’ look fiiiiyah! I used the colors from the candy bar wrapper in a premium leather. I’m almost tempted to buy them for myself. So we’ll see what happens…

Figures the week that The Ray-vens aren’t pooling with us they decide to take the fall. There’ll be a few more where that came from AMADEO so don’t start sizing up your Super Bowl ring just yet. The first quarter of the season is in the rear view mirror and what I’ve learned is that the NFL is still the most unpredictable, frustrating, energetic way to spend a Sunday afternoon. We should get together at the sports bar in Park Slope one Sunday and talk shit. That might be tough for some of you that don’t live in NYC, but for those of you that do I am looking at November 5th. Holler bizzle.

This week’s lineup look fairly simple which means that we should all come out of this one seven for seven. Week 6 is for me to provide a pyschoanalysis on why I choose my picks. Let’s see what the lineup looks like…

NY GIANTS @ ATLANTA FALCONS
The Giants are feeling realy good about themselves which means its time for them to sputter again. MICHAEL VICK does to the Giants what MICHAEL JORDAN used to do to the Knicks. School is in session, Giants get a hungerectomy.

MIAMI DOLPHINS @ NY JETS
After getting bitch slapped by Jacksonville, the Jets need a little ‘get right’ medicine. The ‘Fins are like Viagara made out of chewable Flintstones vitamins for AFC East teams. Hell, for the league.

HOUSTON TEXANS @ DALLAS COWBOYS
The Cowboys need this win to stay in the mix for the NFC East crown. The Texans are already counting the days until which they can go back on vacation.

TENNESSEE TITANS @ WASHINGTON REDSKINS
After that loss last weekend the ‘Skins need to rebound in a major way. Unfortunately, they don’t.

CAROLINA PANTHERS @ BALTIMORE RAVENS
I’d love to say that the Ray-vens take another on the chin this weekend , but I think they will manage to win this one late in the game. Carolina has yet to beat someone substancialiscious.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES @ NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
All you Philly fans are prah’lee still drunk from last weekend. So is your team. A perfect oppurtunity for the Saints to eke out another home win in the swamp.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS @ PITTSBURGH STEELERS
Kansas City has been surprisingly decent, props to TONY’s KANSAS CITY. BEN ROTHELISBERGER and the Steelers have sucked ass mightily. I’d like to think that HERM EDWARDS could will his boys to a win in this one, but that’d just be crazy. I’m not crazy.

Cross your fingers in the hopes that we get SNICKERS to underwrite our NFL football pool, but in any case the winner will still get a DP dot com prize pack of goodies and a new pair of kicks.

SATISFECTELLENT!

NYC PUBLIC SCHOOLS CHANCELLOR Does Not Care About Hip-Hop Honors Week…

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

edumicate

If Hip-Hop has any chance at bringing a lasting and positive influence into the lives of people there has to a return of the mindset that knowledge rules supreme over nearly everyone. I understand that is a wild cliche, but its more truth now than it was in previous years. As a nation we are becoming dumber and dumber. S.A.T. scores are tumbling across the board. If it weren’t for Asian kids we’d be a nation where our next generation is borderline retard.

Hip-Hop has defined the cultural values for American youth for more than a decade. The Hip-Hop music that currently dominates the airwaves of commercial stations is derived from simplistic monosyllabic nursery ryhmes or it tells the story of material aquisition as the benchmark for social mobility. If the kids that listen to and live the Hip-Hop lifestyle are to become viable, responsible adults we will need iconic artists to redefine their values. Books over bling sounds too simplistic, but ultimately without a reduction in the consumerism ethos of these artists we won’t see any progress. At least JAY-Z could maybe write a song about why New York City schools are so miserably underfunded by the State. ‘Dear Summer School’ or some shit.

For VH-1’s Hip-Hop Honors week some NYC public school students may end up hopping trains and buses to get to school because they don’t have transit cards. The city’s schools chancellor JOEL KLEIN has mandated that all students register for their transit cards. The thinking is that many kids receive these passes and they don’t use them. This costs the city millions of dollars since the crooks at the Metropolitan Transit Authority invoice the city for each card they issue. I have a more novel idea, the city should take over the MTA and discontinue the flow of patronage cash it brings to upstate politicians. Charging kids money to get to school is essentially like levying another tax on their parents.

DALLASPENN dot com is for the children.

DALLASPENN dot com is HIP-HOP.

VH-1 Honors HIP-HOP

Sunday, October 8th, 2006

cube

First off, I have to show love to the people at VH-1 that read my site on the regulack and invited me to work the red carpet for the 2006 Hip-Hop Honors Awards show. When you see the broadcast of the show you will be treated to a view of one of the truly historic Hip-Hop concerts. The performances were all sharp and there are some dope surprises tucked into the show. Tune in to VH-1 on October 17th @ 9:00pm. You won’t be disappointed.

As far the red carpet was concerned it was a super charged setting filled with so many artists and personalities that I can’t recount them all. There are a few people that stood out in my mind so let me give you the scoop on them…

MASTER P was unavailable, but KING TEE pitched in to do my cameraman work at the last second. Without his help I wouldn’t have been as on point as I was. You need several sets of eyes to help you navigate the swirl of activity on the carpet.

ESKAY from NAH’RIGHT is a beast! He had a designated spot of the carpet right near the stage. It looks like that XXL/Harris Publishing machinery has found out what most of us on the internets knew already.

DON DIVA Magazine held it down right alongside me and occasionally stole my shine, but they were veterans on the red carpet and they were smart enough to bring their product with them.

MUSIC CHOICE video show was on my other side and they were cool too. The lesson I took from them is that I need to step my recording equipment game up. Next year I come out the gate with a DP dot com flagged microphone.

RAKIM ALLAH, the God emcee, is one of the classiest artists ever in the world of Hip-Hop. I hope for nothing but continued success from him. This dude is unpretentious and cool as all shit.

FAT JOE keeps it realer than most all day, everyday. He spent some good time chatting with us and even gave me a few drops for this websites upcoming podcasts.

ICE CUBE also kicked it with me for a hot second second and dropped some real street knowledge on what Hip-Hop needs to do to remain relevant art form into the next generation. ICE CUBE is a superior performer too. Wait ’til you see his stage show.

MC LYTE is still my girl. I haven’t seen her in a loooooooong time and she still remembers the kid. Bigger than all that is the fact that he looked great and hasn’t aged a bit. She also killed it onstage.

KWAME is my dude from way before this rap shiite so you know he gave the website some sick drops.

You can’t play with my YOYO. This is my rappin’ baby mama. She was dimed out like a mother.

True to form, REMY MA was a hot mess.

The BEASTIE BOYS weren’t as cool as I imagined…

A funny moment was WONDER MIKE from the SugarHill Gang looking to get some sound bites in with the press corps. I used that time he was standing around to fix my equipment. Instead I should have asked him what it felt like to be famous for stealing someone’s rhymebook?

WENDY WILLIAMS is a biiiiiig bitch, but she is totally hittable, as my dude ZILLA would say.

The original gangster ICE T and his hot piece of azz wife showed some love to the kid too. I ccould have totally stuck my tongue down her bulbous breasts.

The RZA and GZA were dope enough to give me some sick drops on my microphone. When I redo my ‘KILLA BEEZ FOR LIFE’ mix CD I will include those joints.

All in all it was a great day and the show that VH-1 produced was incredible. I may have to give Viacom a pass from my wrath for a few weeks, or until the next coonfest FLAVOR FLAV program they create.

G DUBBZ And The GOP Rock On For Hip-Hop Honors Week?!?

Sunday, October 8th, 2006

rock on

Son of a BUSH and original gangster family member, G DUBBZ, has seen this all before. Even with a national approval rating dipping towards historical single digits there’s still a ‘What Me Worry’ attitude at the White House. These are the folks that stayed at the craps table on the Titanic. By forcing the big oil companies to take their feet off our throats it looked like the Grand Ol’ Party was going to pull off a November surprise and retain most of their entrenched power throughout the Senate and the Congress, but then some thing funny happened to the party of morals and values. Take a walk with me through the recent newsreel…

Congressman MARK FOLEY’s actions have given me someone to highlight in my declaration’s of non-gayness and he will be responsible for a couple of people losing their jobs, but the real problem that is symptomatic with the power structure on the Beltway will remain. Men like FOLEY are allowed to exist in their world without judgement or repercussions because we are cynically ruled by our government. These politicians have such a disdain for us that it manifests itself in an above the law attitude.

Do you think we are in Iraq by accident? A group of people saws the advantage and the tremendous resource of oil and decided that they should possess it outright. There was never any consideration for the losses of our bothers, sisters, sons and daughters to the cold desert. The United Nations was pushed aside like a skinny woman trying to save the smelly arab kid from getting punched in the mouth by the 800 lb. gorilla bully. Even though the situation in Iraq is now pointing towards a firece civil war between Muslim factions with our troops unfortunately caught out there in no-man’s land, the Republicans have earmarked $20 million for the printing of new ‘Mission Accomplished’ banners.

Although it seems that the war in Iraq and the blatant lack of morals displayed by this administration may help to shift the direction of our country in November, it is still up to us to insure this. Make sure that you are registered to vote and I would also like to ask you to register as a Republican. It’s time to change our government into the people that represent our actual morality and sense of community. You can’t fix a car engine while the hood is down, you have to go on the inside.

vote or die
