I always said that lawyers ruined the soundscape for Hip-Hop music. The concepts that the Bomb Squad created would never have been possible in the current attorney pwned music business. Don’t take my words for it tho’.

Peep this documentary called ‘Copyright Criminals’…

Now I see why the mixtape game is so prevalent now. Who could afford to clear a sample?

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.

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].

Queens Finest…

Riding out with Timeless Truth lastnite reminded me how much I miss my old ‘hood.

Corona, Queens is the epicenter of the city that is the birthplace of the artistic movement called Hip-Hop. In the 1980’s Flushing Meadow Park would host a weekend extravaganza called ‘Queens Day’. There would be free concerts all throughout the park and Queens’ finest would be on display.

This drop is just a small tribute to the Unisphere in Flushing Meadow Park, Von’s on Northern Blvd, La Cabana, The Colosseum, Q.P.’s, The Jackson, Lemon Ice King, Busy Bee Mall, Queens Center Mall, Green Acres, and the list goes on and on…
