The Greatest Entertainer…

the addict

These dudes from the Bushwick Social Club are cool with me. They posted the i.C. film ‘Checkmate’ in a drop at their website. They have invited me to come to their monthly party in Bushwick.

Eh.

Not that Bushwick ain’t the hot little neighborhood right now, but I really can’t fuck with these dudes because they don’t believe DOUG E. FRESH is T.5.D.O.A.

You ain’t really, really Hip-Hop if you don’t know what I’m talking about, or you don’t agree with me.

Ask ERNIE P.

We were at the old Octagon on the west side. Everyone was mobbed up. Tragedy performed and niggas threw ice at him because he was talking that thug shit and the room was filled to the brim with goons. This was no ‘mixed’ crowd of rap fans. This was the Bronx, Brownvsille, Bed-Stuy, and yes, Bushwick. 1992. Lord Finesse even got ice thrown at him when he started doing a ‘freestyle’ of verses everyone had already heard. The crowd was anxious to see KRS-1 and the tension was building up. You know who came on the stage and took the entire crowd and brought them back to a good place?

DOUG E. FRESH is so Hip-Hop. DOUG E. FRESH is my hero. If you don’t know that he is Top 5 Dead Or Alive you need to sit your ho ass down and shut the fuck up.

And I’m not saying this because I’m drunk.

HASH MILLS on the handycam

This was from the OAKLEY HIT + RUN artist event.

I need another one of those in my lifestyle.

And speaking of ‘Hit & Run’, I have been bumping this LOLEATTA HOLLOWAY joint for the last few days.

Don’t anyone make real shit anymore?

CAPTAIN BILLY SUNDAY’s PIRATE RADIO PODCAST

donny

DONNY HATHAWAY is one of the most important soulful vocalists from the 1970’s. Some of the greatest voices from that period would see their careers shortened from malady and tragedy. DONNY HATHAWAY suffered from severe bouts of depression. Similar to the beautiful and stunning PHYLLIS HYMAN, he would also commit suicide.

The duets he performed with ROBERTA FLACK are among some of the most timelessly romantic songs you will ever hear. DONNY HATHAWAY’s voice transcends the vinyl and plastic disks that he is recorded on. He is the essence of soul.

And may GOD rest his.

Whoever you give a kiss to today you should do it like you were giving one to JAYNE KENNEDY.

Today is the beginning of her new year.

Shouts to all Scorpio ladies on the check-in.

I see you Marvelous.

jayne

JAYNE was the first to do it for me.

You know she is still fine as wine too.

In my mind she can never fall off because she will always look like when I first fell in love with her.

Is It Real Sonn, Is It Really Real?

the real

The brothers from The Real have been putting in hell’a work on these internets over the last year. When I first peeped their steez I wasn’t feeling them because they seemed to be disconnected to the subjects they were riffing on. Kind of like a comedic troupe of carpet baggers. As time has passed they have honed their craft with sharper writing and mostly making sure that every week we get a brand new video from them.

I see these dudes all around the city. They move like me, except there’s two of them. They were at the DeCon Media party and they also were in the Mark Ronson showcase. These dudes are definitly Internets Celebrities. That’s what someone called them. When Mark Ronson played the Georg Kranz classic dance hit ‘Din Daa Daa’ we all sung along. The twins told me they made a video to this song. I told them to send it to me so I could post it. The video is actually good.

I fucks with The Real now. They have a cool sense of humor. Plus, these niggas recognize that evolution begins and ends with hard work. So why not whistle while you work?
