I’m prA’li looking like sour grapes with all my Yankee bashing but someone has got to put all this championship hype into the proper perspective.
If the Yankees didn’t spend the grip they did on free agent players would they be any better than Atlanta or Seattle?
Manny’s going back to Cali, Cali, Cali.
It’s hard for me to shit on guys like JETER, RIVERA, POSADA and PETTITE who are products of the Yankee farm system under Gene ‘Stick’ Michael and not simply overpaid free agent freeloaders like Ghey-Rod. I was upset that Ghey-Rod was getting a ring because I felt like he didn’t deserve one since he is such a hump in the postseason.
RAFI ‘StatMan’ KAM pointed me to the Sabermetric value called the OPS+ which all the roto-fantasy GM’s are gaga over. The addition of slugging percentage combined with on base percentage adjusted to the fields a player visits gives you the OPS+. It’s a nifty little stat when you want to generate a value for players like Ghey-Rod. Barry Bonds pwns this statistic along with Babe Ruth and Ted Williams.
Ghey-Rod’s 2009 postseason has been the first one where he hasn’t sucked major ass but he still isn’t the star that some of the other less heralded Yankees were. Players like Jeter, Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui are way cooler under pressure. When I reviewed the Ghey-Rod player card I was surprised to see that his BA (batting average) was over .350 for the playoffs.
Ghey-Rod is finally a World Series champion and I can’t take that away from him. He’ll enjoy the parade up Broadway this year and possibly several more before his career is finished. One of these days I may even come to appreciate his Sabermetric statistics (I doubt that). Meanwhile, the rich keep getting richer. Damn Yankees.
What the ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’ has meant to countless weirdos is exactly what ‘Purple Rain’ means to me. It’s a chance for me to sing and dance with one the baddest, funkiest, most hardbody… Yes, I said it, MOST HARDBODY brothers to ever put shit d-d-d-down on these broads.
I don’t say this shit just because Prince Rogers Nelson is my friend on Facebook. I say this shit because Prince has touched more fine tail than the toilets at the Playboy mansion. Prince has beat the seat of of starlets like Kim Basinger, Vanity, Mayte, Olivia Newton-John, Sheila E., Cybil Shepherd, Chaka Khan, Sinead O’Connor (who is fly for a bald chick). I respect that man’s portfolio and I wouldn’t mind coming after him [ll].
Sloppy seconds is all I ever wanted in the first place.
After the movie screens Black Moon’s EVIL DEE will be on the turntables for the always packed out Beaux-Arts ballroom dance party. Make sure to wear some fly purple.
Fux around if you want NYC, this is where I am posting up Saturday nite…

What the fux is Nuevo Groove?!? I have no gotdamn idea, but I am sure some asshat sitting in a record company office will love the name. Plus Future Funk was already used for some shit. My folks over at OKayPlayer just turned me on to a band called Gordon Voidwell and they are the leading Nuevo Groove band in America.
The mistake I am making from the outset is trying to describe Gordon Voidwell because all the reference points would be for shit I have heard previously. Shit like Funkadelic, Afrika Bambaata, Prince, Shalamar, Devo all have their own unique sounds and so does Gordon Voidwell. I’m in a place where I can fux with this band right now.
I was feeling that Shafiq/Plug Research mixtape something serious and that joint was all over the place. The Gordon Voidwell ‘Voided Checks’ mixtape stays right in the pocket. That funky pocket, where I keep the “loud pack”, if you can dig where I am coming from. Take a listen to some of these tracks and tell me what you think.
‘Ivy League Circus’
‘Planet Love’ *this mah jammmmm!
‘White Friends’
Das Racist – ‘Shorty Said’ (GV Remix)
Gordon Voidwell fux with Das Racist hardbody. This is why the world is so damn church. The world is a big place, but the folks that operate under the same cosmic sine/cosine frequency is the small subset. We usually find each other one way or another. Now that I’ve found Gordon Voidwell I’m gonna go along for the trip. Are you coming too? [ll]
