Watch it before the haters pull it down.

Thursday, April 9th, 2009The Windex Kid For The Win…
Wednesday, April 8th, 2009
Chi-Town’s very own The Windex Kid is the winner of the 2009 DP.com NCAA Final 4 pool. TWK has been on a Chicago roll ever since BARACK OBAAMA won the election and KanYe West released ‘808s & Heartbreak’. You can’t tell him nuthin’.
Since I kick his ass on the handball court whenever we get it poppin’ at least he can talk shit about coming from last to first when it counted.
Shouts to all the winners from this year’s pool.
Catch y’all in the fall for football season.
Rainy Daze Make Life Grow Up…
Wednesday, April 8th, 2009
The rain hadn’t stopped coming down since the previous night.
The rain puts me in a shitty mood.
Plus I just have all kinds of issues with adulthood.
I did not feel like being friendly with anyone and part of my job requires me to be cordial at least to my clients. I wasn’t feeling them. Usually I can adjust my sullen attitude with a little retail therapy but the the Air Yeezys were sold out everywhere.
I felt like playing in traffic.
When I left the office it was already dark outside.
The asphalt disguises the depth of the puddles and I stepped in several that wet my ankles.
I was on my way to the liquor store when I got a text message from my G. He asked me how I was doing, but I think he already knew. Me and sonn share the same new year’s date. He told me to stop by the studio and share some dinner with him.
I’m glad I didn’t decline his invite.
JOELL ORTIZ was in the studio recording.
His latest song is now my rainy daze anthem.
I needed to hear some shit like this which is light years away from the nihilistic and narcissistic rap music that dominates the genre. This is the type of song that helps you put on your emotional armor. When I left the studio it felt like the rain had stopped.

And The Legend Grows…

Knuckles goes in [ll]! – pix courtesy of 215 magazine
I talk a lot of shit on this website about how crazy my life gets because it really does get that bananas. One of my longtime DP.commenters was in NYC and decided to take me up on my challenge. SIMON is from Amsterdam, Holland so he knows a thing or two about partying, but he has never hit the streets with DP2FTV. This is the realest reality show evar.
Our first stop was the Patron mixer at the Penthouse Lounge. Free Patron. Free food. And a gaggle of ladies in hooker heels and dresses with no drawls on. This is Monday night in NYC. Which is the new Friday if you ask me.
After at least a ten rounds apiece SIMON and I motivated to the Roots crew jam session at the Highline Ballroom. I’m tired of telling you to go to the Highline Ballroom to catch an evening of the Roots residency there. You could set yourself up for one of the best nights you ever had. Highline’s kitchen remains open during the show and the bartenders are typically heavyhanded.
The Roots have been doing their thing for so long it is almost easy to take them for granted. I try not to because I imagine that the day I sleep on these dudes they will fly off a spaceship that will be too legendary. This session featured my homey JOELL ORTIZ. He was the first rapper to get on the stage and pay homage to the Roots crew. I thought that was a great look by him. Hip-Hop was definitely in the building.
I talk about Black Thought so much that I am embarrassed I haven’t mentioned the skills of Truck North and Dice Raw. I watched Dice Raw hold the microphone with a confidence that comes from being a true veteran emcee. Dice Raw reminded me of the days when the Legendary would come to NYC and tear down classic venues like the Wetlands and Tramps.
I can’t wait for the Roots picnic in Philadelphia. DP x Philly stand up!
CAM’RON ALBUM RELEASE PARTY 05.04.09
Monday, April 6th, 2009
Back in the day when ‘Diplomatic Immunity’ was about to drop I was definitely a DipSet stan. Those were still the fun carefree days of Hip-Hop journalism. Even though it was post-911 the rap dollars were still circulating. At this moment I can’t even tell you if and when I will get another check for writing about rap music.
I will still keep partying though since that is what I have done fro the jump. Cam’Ron will be having the release party for his upcoming CD ‘Crime Pays’ at the Highline Ballroom. It will be hosted by NYC radio station Hot97’s own Funkmaster Flex so I expect it to be a star-studded event with plenty of ‘hood celebs to go around.
Is there still an outside chance that a DipSet re-union could take place?
You will just have to show up and see.
