“That Ain’t Hip-Hop!”

Editor’s note: 40 DAWG describes a real-life moment with a live-action Riley Freeman

I hate Hip-Hop sometimes…

While walking thru this city of ours on my lunch break today I was gonna run up in Dr. Jay’s on 34th to see if I could come up on some “hood staples” on sale in their sneaker dept (I did – some Barkleys and some AF1’s for a buck). I’m about 100 feet from the store listening to my iPhone and all of a sudden something is thrust in front of my face. I proceed to slap the item and the hand and arm holding it down in a natural instinctive fashion. Dude proceeds to have a mild attitude and then reassesses when I glare back at his monkey ass. His “Street Team” comes over to his aid and now that he has numbers I’m asked the requisite

“What the fuck yo? We just out here tryna grind yo!”

To which I respond,

“And your man fucked up by jamming something in my face.”

So this little dibby-dibby army of four packs in closer together forming what they thought was a “wall” and I’m like,

“So you mad now? If you gonna move, then move if not step the fuck off…”

They didn’t wanna move, but wasn’t gonna do nothing so I proceeded to part their little crowd like Moses. One finally chirps up,

“Thats fucked up yo, that ain’t hip-hop yo! Support real hip-hop!!!”

I chucked them the bird, turned around and proceeded on my way…

I hate Hip-Hop sometimes…

ERNIE must be some kind of busy for him to not come thru here and hype up his FREE film screening this week. Hopefully this drop brings him out from under his bridge.

champeezy bitches!

It’s Friday, and my ass is broker than a joke. I’m actually not broken in as much as I am dealing with a “temporary fiscal deficit”.

Looks like it’s gonna be one of those weekends where my ass does mad free shit.

* ‘Krush Groove’ screens tonite at the Grand Army Plaza central library.

** ‘Favela Rising’ screens tomorrow at the Brooklyn Museum of Art First Saturday. BMA’s First Saturday theme is Brazilian Night. So get out your samba shoes and come dance with a gaggle of Black Bebel Gilbertos.

Krush Groove’n @ The Library?!?

krush groove

The Brooklyn Central Library is out to prove that the library is no longer the place that old books come to die. This Friday, the Brooklyn Central Library on Eastern Parkway and Grand Army Plaza features one of the earliest commercial blockbusters from Hip-Hop history.

40 Dawg was just talking about ‘Krush Groove’ too. This joint is a great film with tons of humor and Hip-Hop nostalgia just flowing through it. Run-DMC, LL Cool J, the Fat Boys, Kurtis Blow and Sheila E. all play significant parts in this flick. This screening will be fun since I haven’t seen ‘Krush Groove’ in a theater since fools were wearing Puma track suits. Most of all. it’s FREE.
