Man, I’ma keep it ten thousand with y’all… That Foxy Brown interview has me turnt UP! I been in the streets everyday this week. That’s why I haven’t been able to fux with this weblog. I apologize if y’all are tired of listening to the Action Bronson on Sneaker Fiends shit. I have not been in the lab to put my thoughts together cohesively. Robbie from UnKut is in town too. Shit is cray.

The pic above are my Timbs after rocking out with Just Blaze and various trap-house deejays at the Brisk Bodega event. Yo Brisk… How come y’all suckas ain’t invite the Internets Celebrities to host y’all event? Why you jacking our swag without showing that love? Is there any love in this world?
No Wale and Kid Cudi

Just Blaze killed it. What more van I say. He spun a Foxy Brown track for me too.

A few nights earlier Robbie and I was rocking with the god emcee at Red Hook Park. Rakim headlined a CityParks Brooklyn Summerstage show that was reminiscent of so many park jams in my younger life. Thankfully no one had to tap power from a lightpole.

We gotta teach Robbie how to do the wop this summer before he goes back to Kangarooland.

Here’s a bunch more FREE shows going down this summer via CityParks…

DJ Premier stopped by the Combat Jack TV show and brought me back to the days when Hip-Hop was so beautiful for me. It’s crazy to think we sat with someone who’s music DEFINES a genre. While Guru (R.I.P.) wasn’t the greatest emcee he was the perfect complement to Premier’s soundscape.

Take a ride down memory lane with me for a moment and you’ll agree with me that DJ Premier needs to be placed on rap music’s Mount Rushmore.

No one can see this man.

As per my father AND my grandfather Willie Mays, the ‘Say Hey Kid’ was the greatest person to ever put on a baseball mitt, swing a bat and wear a pair of cleats. Say Hey just had a New Year start for him so I’m giving props.
