SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

My peeps at Richie’s on the world famous Delancey Street are having a summertime sale on some hot kicks and I thought I’d put you folks on in case you were considering an upgrade to your footgame swagger.

As usual my focus is centered around my favorite shoe, the NIKE Dunk, but I have some Air Max 90’s in the mix as well as some flavor for all the ladies too. All the kicks for men are $50 and the ladies joints are $40. The shipping for these sneakers will be a flat $8 per pair. Take a look at the lineup and if you smell anything holler back at the kid.

Brooklyn Bodega Is Saving Hip-Hop…

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

brooklyn bodega

First and foremost, shouts go out to the Brooklyn Bodega crew that pulled off a masterful coup this month by singlehandedly saving Hip-Hop culture. Their events celebrated pioneers of music, graphic art and filmmaking. They extended an open invitation to artists from several generations of Hip-Hop to come together for the love of the movement. They even got ERNIE PANNICCIOLI to come out of his house. ERNIE took this flick of Uncle BAM and me.

The month was topped off with one of the best outdoor concerts ever executed, mainly because it was absolutely free, and mostly because it took place in the planet of Brooklyn. Thousands of people came through to enjoy music that was old and new from some of the greatest performers that have ever held a microphone. LARGE PROFESSOR, DRES, FAT JOE, CONSEQUENCE, SMIF-N-WESSUN, HELTAH SKELTAH featuring SEAN PRICE, and the THEODORE UNIT featuring CAPPADONNA and BIG GHOST.

Personally, my biggest enjoyment was building with some of you folks that stepped to me to shake my hand. Fellow bloggers like STRAIGHT BANGIN’ and video bloggers like ILL DOCTRINE had come through as well as my peeps from D.C. and Virginia and Connecticut. The iNternets Celebrities put in hell’a work too so stay tuned for some of that video. Internets nerds stand the fuck up!

The Boot Camp Clik represented thoroughly for Brooklyn. SEAN P spit some of that fire from the Jesus Price album and then teamed up with his homey ROCK for some O.G.C. classics.

CONS to the QUENCE brought his energy to the show and gave us some of his G.O.O.D. music.

The Wallabee champ was in rare form and the Theodore Unit held him down respectively. WU TANG has the greatest collective catalog in rap music and getting a special appearance from Big GHOST original weedcarrier CAPPADONNA made everything that much better.

A LETTER FROM THE MANAGEMENT

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

Check yo’self before you wreck yo’self…

Are you folks preparing for halftime? The second quarter will over shortly. Where are you at with your plans? Are you in the lead, or are you playing from behind? I was in the lead for most of the second quarter but a few turnovers cost us our lead. We’re a better team than we’ve shown so far, but the second half is the time to put up or shut the fuck up. Let’s clear up some personal business so that we can get ourselves lined up for the third quarter…

I have to make a formal apology to a fellow blogger that I made a disparaging remark about at another website. Jay Smooth, I apologize to you brother. My remark was silly and hateful considering the fact that I don’t know you at all. I just assumed by the fact that my site was not listed on your blogroll you were part of the hate filled handshakes that I encounter on the internets. Maybe your site’s template only allows for a certain number of links in the sidebar. Who knows? I certainly don’t. And I shouldn’t have been so hurtful to anyone particularly one of the Hip-Hop blogging community’s pioneers. Jay Smooth’s website Hip Hop Music Dot Com is one of the websites that has the word Hip Hop in the site name in case you happen to be Googling the word Hip-Hop. That’s a pretty powerful boulder to hold on your shoulder. If you know what I mean. Who has time to add my site to their blogroll anyhoo? Especially when no ones reads this shit in the first place.

So again Jay Smooth, I sincerely apologize to you if you still feel a kind of way.

FLAWLESS HUSTLE’s FATHER’s DAY
You already know that GABEROCKKA is my peeps. Me and dude linked a madd long time ago over some vintage Nautica caps that I was selling on eBay. GABE is mos def one of those Steep Tech North Face heads from back in the mid 1990’s. These were the younger cats that came to Tents and Trails and dropped hundreds on the ill Gore Tex mountaineering coats. GABE stays styling on fools and bagging up fly broads. GABE just added a baby boy to his playboy repertoire…

ADRIAN RAYMOND – b.June 13th, 2007

True story is that me and GABE were in the city getting drunk somewhere and I had to explain to GABE what GOD was. Everything I said is contained right there in the picture of his son. Congrats and blessings G. I’m already looking for a pair of baby Dunks.

REAL HIP-HOP LIVES AT THE BROOKLYN BODEGA…

Saturday, June 16th, 2007

bodega

In just one week New York City will be come the epicenter for Hip-Hop culture once again thanks to the work of the people at the website Brooklyn Bodega. Their brainchild is the annual Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival and it always features artists that have made the culture an overwhelming global movement. This years’ festival is even more thorough than the two prior because it’s several days of events instead of just one culminating with the best concert that New York City will have seen since DAVE CHAPPELLE’s Block Party.

GHOSTFACE KILLAH, SEAN PRICE, CONSEQUENCE, LARGE PROFESSOR, DRES, SKILLZ, TANYA MORGAN plus some special guests will all perform under the sun next to the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday, June 23. I have two(2) more sets of a pair of tickets for the show that I will mail to the first people that send me an e-mail with their mailing address. Can it all be that simple? Hell to the yeah. Jump on G-mail and holler at your boy ASAP.

On Friday June 22, CHARLIE AHEARN’s seminal project ‘Wild Style’ will be screened in Fulton Ferry Park. Before the screening there will be a party for the release of AHEARN’s companion book to the movie. This event is FREE and open to all.

ALL MY THICKE SISTAHS STAND UP!

Friday, June 15th, 2007

If you get a chance to catch JILL SCOTT on tour this summer do yourself a spiritual favor and buy a ticket. I just came home from seeing ROBIN THICKE and CHAKA KHAN open up for JILLY from Philly. It was a festival for beautiful, big, Black asses too. They came in all colors and shapes and sizes. There was this one chick that was so red-boned that I could damn near see through homegirl. Sisters had their hair did too. There ain’t nothing that smells better than a Black woman in heat and ROBIN THICKE had the ladies moist.

I’m not mad at ROBIN THICKE either because at least he puts his money where his mouth is by marrying a sister. Dude is a cut rate JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE on the stage though. Nevertheless, Black women love them some ROBIN THICKE. He cooed and whined in that falsetto voice he uses and the entire Radio City Hall was putty in his hands. His set wasn’t too long either. He just did the hits and then he kept it moving.

CHAKA KHAN is great to see as always because she still has a powerful and dramatic voice after all of these years. CHAKA did a complete set of her classics and when she broke it down for ‘Sweet Thing’ you realized that whatever guy was smart enough to bring his lady with him to this show was going to be getting some head afterwards. I was that smart dude and now I am going to bed to receive my reimbursement for the ticket. I don’t have to swim with the sharks because I bring sand to the beach.
