Graffiti moved from simply ‘getting up’ into a legitimate form of artistic expression thanks to people like DONALD WHITE pka DONDI.
His top to bottom burners were all-city subway canvasses I used to watch at Chambers Street on the J/M/Z platforms.
WHITE was more than just all-city. He took graff all over the globe. Piece to the colorful universe he created.
Back in 2005 I used to run a feature on this site called DipSet Deep Thoughts by Cam’Ron Giles. I was pretty much an admitted DipSet stan back then and Cam’Ron was the spiritual leader of that movement. I didn’t wear pink because of Cam, but he validated it in my wardrobe better than I ever did by myself. DipSet was ‘hood fabulous FLASHION (my word bitches).
Fast forward to the present and the rapper that I stan for the most is Sean Price. Black hoody rap is still flashy and it stays preppy in Polo Ralph Lauren. Sean Price just opened a TWitter account – @SeanMandela. They should’a never gave this dude a laptop. This is going to be entertaining and informative. Edutainment in the rawest sense. It’s only just begun…
What emcee would drop a verse namechecking the queen of AfroPop? Maybe NaS? Mos Def? When is the last time you really wanted to hear NaS? Does Mos Def even rap anymore?
Peep how Miriam Makeba is two words with three syllables each. Sean Price just ethered your favorite rapper with that namecheck. Botswana!
Yo for real… What is this ghey shit about when someone (presumably a man) tells another man to suck his dick?
Sean P say, “Don’t never invite me to your manhood. In jail that will get you kil’t (no William Wallace).”
Practical advice to all the TWitter insomniacs from Sean P.
Real Talk.
An article published in the NYTimes earlier this month says that criminals choose the Yankee cap over most sports related apparel because of the ‘Jay-Z effect’ and the cool factor he brings to the item. Ha! The Yankees ownership does more crime on the daily robbing the Bronx residents of their resources than Jay-Z has in his entire life.
But the article made me think outside of the box…
If I could just get a placement on a rapist doing a perp walk I might could move the rest of these joints.
The story for the early part of this NFL season has been the play of Michael Vick for the Philadelphia Eagles. Vick is the most exciting player in the game right now and he seems to be finding his form that he sported prior to his incarceration two years ago.
Philadelphia is a strange town and they seem to have taken to accepting Vick as the representation for the team. As long as Vick keeps winning games, especially this upcoming weekend against the NFC East rival Redskins and former Philly QB Donovan McNabb.
The DP.com football pool is back in effect again. Shouts to everyone that signed up. Last year we gave a DJ Hero console to the pool’s overall points winner. This year is no different and we have a selection of prizes for you football fans. EA Sports Madden ’11 for PS3 or DJ Hero2 console and game.
Good luck to all of you poolers, and good luck to Michael Vick.
I can see Patrick Ewing taking an NBA franchise to the promised land and he never looked more Jamaican than the years he rocked that Red Sea part in his hair.
