roots

C.S. and I enjoyed the ERYKAH BADU featuring the Roots concert from the less expensive seats. Truth be told is that there aren’t ANY bad seats in Radio City Hall when the soundmen are on their grizzly.

The Roots are the most legendary, as usual even though their set was brief. Keep in mind this was ERYKAH’s concert. They did some of their classics and some of the joints off ‘Rising Down’. The song ‘Criminal’ is becoming one of my all time favorites. Black Thought spit the entire Kool G Rap G.O.A.T. rap song ‘Men At Work’. Rappers can’t even pick up a microphone after this dude. I have said this a million times, but how sick is it when a nigga knows his catalog backwards AND your favorite rapper’s joints too?

Since I am such a shitty photog I kept the camera down and I just enjoyed Mrs. BADU’s performance. ERYKAH has such a commanding stage presence even though she is like only five feet tall. She has a knack for pulling off notes that you would never expect to come from her throat. She’s just indescribably fantastic. I would love to see her and JILL SCOTT team up again like they did at the CHAPPELLE Block Party and just go note for note. It makes me think of PATTI LaBELLE and NONA HENDRYX.

Speaking of the group LaBELLE…

I missed the show this weekend at the Hammerstein Ballroom that was a tribute to PATTI and the group LaBELLE because I was getting my bounce right at the KeiStar party with DJ SPINNA. It was an evening of ghetto karaoke as we danced and sung out classic shit from the 1990’s. Whether it was rap, new jack swing R&B or whatever we all knew the lyrics. The funniest moment of the night was when the entire building sung the chorus from Color Me Bad’s ‘I Wanna Sex You Up’. Hee fucking larious.

The next KeiStar party will be another STEVIE WONDER tribute. If you need me to tell you how good these joints are then you might should hang yourself from your bathroom shower with a pair of pantyhose like sonn did in that RICHARD GERE movie. That dude was a loser. Don’t be that dude.

I squeezed off a hundred bucks from my stimulus check to hang out Saturday night. A hundred dollars ain’t shit no more! Whose fault is that?

$3.25 for two 4-piece Chicken McNuggets and 32oz. McD sweet tea
If you haven’t fucked with the McDonald’s sweet tea then you need to, or get yourself a pair of pantyhose and climb in a shower stall and you know what.

$10 admission to the party
KEITA and SPINNA are my friends and I consider it a privilege to support their events in word and deed. If I was that type of nigga who is looking for a guest list hookup for ten dollars I would go to Rite Aid instead and buy a pair of pantyhose. I would then go home and climb into my bathtub and tie said pantyhose around my neck and shower faucet. Then I would turn on the water.

$13 Belvedere and tonic x 4

WTF?!? $13 is gonna make me start rolling with my flask again. Fuck it, the drinks were on G DUBBZ. Actually, the drinks were on me and my Social Security benefits.

$8 poppy seed bagel with fresh lox, cream cheese and organic pomegranate juice
At 4am on the Lower East Side while drunk people are stumbling around and puking their stomachs out I enjoy my sandwich and the scene.

$20 taxicab to Brooklyn
Used to be a problem to get a cab ride into Brooklyn.

Ha! I still had a couple of dollars left in my hand. Too bad that Ripple is closed down. I could have used one more drink.

Me and ED LOVER on our way to a fitted hat convention. Okay, I’m lying.

FREE AL SHARPTON!

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Somebody needs to get AL SHARPTON out of jail. GOD forbid that my ass gets shot by the police. If and when that happens the one thing that I can count on will be for the good Reverend, AL SHARPTON, to disrupt traffic.

I know that I won’t receive justice in any tangible manner, but at least someone will be stuck in traffic somewhere in Manhattan with no clue as to what the delays are for. Is the Pope back in town? Is the president speaking at the U.N.? Did terrorists attack? Oh, some nigger got killed by the cops and AL SHARPTON is walking around with a megaphone.

I am not hating on AL’s racket entirely because he does speak the truth when he says that the agenda of the police is to remove Black faces from the city. My problem with SHARPTON is the knowledge I now have that he was an F.B.I. informant. SHARPTON may have been one of the cointelpro cogs that administered the dispersal of crack cocaine into the community.

SHARPTON was a conduit for the street hustlers and money boss players in Harlem. These people trusted SHARPTON because he was always seen preaching and opposing police brutality. All the while SHARPTON was helping the mafia distribute drugs through the Black community. This is another reason why SHARPTON opposed RALPH BAKSHI’s film ‘CoonSkin’ so vehemently. There was a caricature of an overweight phony fire and brimstone preacher who happened to be a front for the mob. Shit hit a little too close to home.

I’m pissed at SHARPTON for convincing NICOLE PAULTRE-BELL that it was in her best interest to receive an open police docket as an offender. There are doors forever closed to this woman now that she doesn’t even know of. If AL thought being arrested was so important than he should have gone in by his gotdamn self. I’m sure he has an office inside of 1 Police Plaza where he and all the F.B.I. informants have their coffee and donuts.

DP,
You betta pray that your dumbAZZ never need a rally bitch!

DP Votes For Complex Mag Obamas…

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

complex

This is like the third or fourth Complex mag Obama I have hit up over the last two months. Mass Appeal had a nice event and I fucks with that mag something serious, but Complex mag throws a better party. Period. Point blank.

The last two joints I went to were for the crappy Kool-Aid x Reebok collabo. I hate the sneakers, but the party was off the cheese plate. The joint that I went to before the ‘Iron Man’ premiere was for a new brand of Axe reodorant called Proximity. Both of these functions were hosted by midtown sneaker emporium Training Camp.

Sonn is the manager of the store. I asked him what the shrink was like for these events. He said “nada”. they have security posted all around the store along with sales people too so he said that no products have been displaced or unaccounted for.

There was some kind of vodka and hors’d ovaries making the rounds. The key to an Obama that isn’t with your favorite booze is to just slam the drinks as quick as you can. I can usually go in for six to ten rounds in under an hour. I count by stacking my cups. I wouldn’t suggest that anyone drink as much as I do. I have been doing media sponsored Obamas since 1989 when my homey Polotron worked for this ad agency Lintas.

I remember being passed out in the bathroom of the old Studio 54. I missed the LL Cool J performance. I did however catch KC and the Sunshine Band. Good times, good times…

I still go hard at any Obama that I make it inside of. Sometimes that means stealing a bottle or two of the booze that sponsors the shindig – Hennessy! Good looking out. I will have to give up my reckless partying habits some day soon, but until then make sure that you have me and a plus one on the guest list.
