SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

butter

You’ve got to be extra sometimes if you want to people to respect your steez. You can’t be like the others. I think that remarks the style of kids from Long Island to a degree. They are trying to keep up with their cousins from the city so they go in extra hard to show that they can hang.

Right near my house in L.I. is a nice little sneaker shop called Extra Butter NY. These dudes represent for Long Island in a major way. Not just with kicks, but with streetwear and gear. I paid a visit to this shop which is right in my backyard to see what they were all about.

Now I may not have to go to the city any longer for my exclusive shit. The folks that run Extra Butter are from the future. They host a ‘movie night’ in their store. The theme this time is called “Sextra Butter“. The movie is ‘9.5 Weeks’. I fux with Extra Butter NY.

The Future Of Rap Music…

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

das racist

A few months ago RAFI pointed me to a music video from this band called Das Racist. Their steez re-awoke something in me that loves rap music.

It could have been their intelligent wordplay with cultural cross-referencers and newsworthy non-sequiturs.

It could have been the fact they were the kind of don’t give a fuck retards that have been missing from rap music.

Smart dumb rappers were the rage back in the early 1990’s. But even then it wasn’t so much about intelligence and geo-political recognition as much as it was about rapping polysyllabic words. The self parody aspect of Hip-Hop was lost when rap music’s tagline became “keep it real”.

Rap music was never intended to be about reality.

Reality sucks.

Hyper-reality is what’s really ‘hood.

What’s really food? Das Racist. From their sub-cellar underground dance classic mega-hit ‘Combination Pizza Hut Taco Bell’ to their trippy freestyle inspired ‘Chicken & Meat’ Das Racist sits squarely in my fastfood fanboy wheelhouse. I will officially lose my shit when they make a song about iced honey buns from the bodega.

Consider me an official Das Racist stan right now.

Being the thinking man’s rap group is no small feat either, but they are good enough to bring RAFI KAM into the Lower East Side to enjoy their set so I think you other emcess need to take heed. RAF and I were joined at the Das Racist show by a fellow internets from Cleveland who still gets it in Ohio.

@IamRobAck is the future of the internets.

Das Racist is the future of rap music.

The iNternets Celebrities know this because we are from the future.

CHEA!

The iNternets Celebrities will be in the Building for our first annual Barbecue in Brooklyn.

It’s a celebration Bitches!

To all of the Bloggers and the sites that have changed the paradigm in media communications. It’s really about celebrating how we get the word around. It was always about the word.

OhWord has returned from a self-imposed sabbatical with a new plan and a fresh new layout.

DJ J.Period will be on the decks along with the immortal DJ Rob Swift.

Just think about that for a second…

Combat Jack will Bring the daily mathematics along with the burgers and franks.

Meka from 2 dope Boyz should be on the eastside right about this time. Let’s welcome his relocation to NYC in proper fashion.

Nah’Right? You in town?

Hof what up? Are you gonna rep for the OS brand?

Shamz? I’m looking for you and Dan to give the OKayPlayer movement a face.

DeCon Media’s Ruffian!

Pardon Me Duke.

Model Minority?

Where the fuck is Biochemical Slang?!?

B.Y.O.B.

Bring Your Own Blogger (or any other B you know of)
It’s a celebration of the best and the brightest in the online game: The people who influence the people who influence everyone else. We are the new vanguard for media and communication. We are the folks who make events like Rock the Bells possible and profitable. We all read each other, and now we get to meet each other.

BYOB is an invitation-only social convention that brings together all the important people who write, direct and create content, and all the people they read, in one place to eat drink and commune about the future of online entertainment and music media.

Here’s the date: July 18th (the Saturday afternoon/evening prior to Rock The Bells NYC leg @ Jones Beach)

If you are coming to NYC for the show send an e-mail to me –> dallas dot penn at gmail

The BBQ is free and there will be drinks so if your B was going to be Burgers, Beer or Booze you need to think of another B to bring.

Let’s get it…
