Gwen Guthrie – ‘Ain’t Nothing Goin’ On’

It was just a few years ago that Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro tailback[ll] LARRY JOHNSON had almost as many Roc chains as Memphis Bleek. You don’t get those baubles by baring your breasts on Bourbon Street either. You have to work your tail off to come up on those necklaces. Back in those days Jay-Z and L-J were roomies in a multi-million dollar Trump Tower condo.

Then Jay-Z had to fux shit up by getting married. And Larry had to fux shit up hanging around Fantasia. Jay-Z even repo’d some of the Roc chains that Larry had been rocking.

The real nail in the coffin was Larry getting fired from his day job. Now who is gonna go splitsies on the condo with Jay? A milli is a big nut to swallow[ll] with an NFL unemployment check. Good thing LeBron is still throwing up the Roc sign. Maybe Jeter is in the market for a roommate.

I feel bad for Larry though.

I’m sure he’s gonna miss the camaraderie.

Fux a camaraderie! This shit is war. The DP.com football pool is like a bunch of rowdy schoolkids on the back of the bus. Everybody is pulling and tugging each other [ll], but the leader remains the same. Flacco’s Mighty Unibrow can’t be stopped. I don’t just simply need him to fall off, but I need everyone in the top10 to take a dive. That way I can gift myself this XBox360 DJ Hero prizepack.

Do I have an XBox360? No. But beating the ass off all of you poolers would be priceless. I want the glory more than the videogame. I want to say that I beat the best fux’n pick ’em poolers on these here internets. After that happens I am good.

MANTRONIX ‘Needle To The Groove’ cover by Gnome/Gemini

I had to dig out this pic from the archives because ot os one of my single favorite pieces (did you see what I just said?) of art. I framed this jumpy in the crib but I haven’t mounted it on the wall yet. Imagine looking at this piece every single day? Your mind would be blown clear off like a shotgun hit you. That is how I felt looking through the OG Piecebook.

Thanks to Chino BYI and JuliBee for shooting me a copy. Now I have to find Chino’s first joint called ‘Mugs & Monsters’ which is an homage he curated to all the fly characters and portraits that artists burn up. If you want to talk about a fly character then you have to holler at my homegirl JuliBee. She came through 1st Saturday at the Brooklyn Museum of Art with her crew, LeeLo and Lil’ Chelsea.

Brooklyn Museum of Art 1st Saturday is still going on strong after a decade because they actively install new and fresh exhibits in the galleries that attract some of the best looking people in NYC. From Kehinde Wiley’s heroic Black male portraits to Takashi Murakami’s trippy canvases there is no shortage of amazing artwork that can found on display in the museum. Couple that with the fact that the museum boasts one of the nation’s best permanent collections of African and Egyptian artifacts on the regulack and you have a world class facility that you can tour for free every 1st Saturday.

The uber-attraction for this event was a compendium of photographs titled ‘Who Shot Rock’. The exhibit features pictures of iconic rock musicians. The problem with the exhibit was that there was no focus to the images displayed. Rock music has been with us for damn near sixty years. I don’t think anyone could curate an exhibit to comprehensively describe all of that time and all of the genres that have emerged from the American rock scene. Plus the images lacked a context for which they were describing the subjects pictured. It’s like looking at backstage photos of the Doors and then seeing a magazine cover of the White Stripes. WTF?!? Who fux’n cares.

The ‘Who Shot Rock’ exhibit will bring some asses into the museum but it is hardly one of the best curated exhibits that the Brooklyn Museum has hosted. The same could be said for the dance party that took place in the grand ballroom. DJ Evil Dee was listed as presenting a set of music that tied in to the ‘Who Shot Rock’ exhibit but he was more on a Michael Jackson x James Brown kick. Sure, that’s good music, and sure that is even rock music in a broad literal description of the genre, but it wasn’t fresh. Evil Dee made a major PU~ in my book for not playing any of these songs…

Jimi Hendrix – ‘Purple Haze’

David Bowie featuring Queen – ‘Under Pressure’

Funkadelic – ‘Who Says A Funk Band Can’t Play Rock’

The Clash – ‘Rock The Casbah’

Devo – ‘Whip It’

Red Hot Chili Peppers – ‘Give It Away’

Soft Cell – ‘Tainted Love’

Afrika Bambaataa – ‘Planet Rock’

Beastie Boys – ‘No Sleep ‘Til Brooklyn’

The Police – ‘Roxanne’

The Clash – ‘This Is Radio Clash’

Queen – ‘Another One Bites The Dust’

Parliament – ‘I Call My Baby Pussycat’

Rock music is filled with dance grooves inside of its DNA. The deejay is responsible for bringing these truths to light. The deejay is the aural curator at the 1st Saturday dance party. Maybe I’ve been going to the BMA 1st Saturday event for too long because I know I could have rocked that ballroom better than this month’s deejay.

Hey @brooklynmuseum you need to holler at these internets.

Winning At All Costs…

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

It wasn’t just in NYC baseball that we see how winning and spending money are closely connected. NYC politricks has the same effect when a multi-billionaire put his “weight on it”. In his bid for a third consecutive term, NYC mayor, Michael Bloomberg, shattered the previous record that he had established for campaign spending.

The Bloomberg machine was reportedly spending upwards of $850,000 per day in the lead up to this year’s election. As you might imagine, his opponent the NYC comptroller William Thompson was nowhere near that amount.

The final tally of votes gave Bloomberg the victory but the margin was barely 6 percentage points higher than Thompson. Just like the Yankees World Series triumph over the Phillies was closer than most people would like to imagine it makes you wonder what the outcome would have been if these two clubs, Team Bloomberg and Team Steinbrenner had not decided to break the bank on the way to the top.

The question I have for the Bloomberg administration is what do they plan on doing to offset the campaign expenditures? We already know what the Yankees have done. They have secured over a billion and a half dollars of TAXPAYER money to build their new stadium. The building is a monument to their status as feudal lords over the south Bronx. With all the money the Yankees generate from shit like merchandising and television licensing you might think that they wouldn’t need to dig in the pockets of the public like they did. That was money that NYC sorely needs to place in the city’s infrastructure and educational systems. Maybe then more Black boys might be able to graduate high school?

The rich don’t get richer by educating the poor or even by making sure that the potholes in the street get filled. The rich get richer by making us poorer. Here’s an interesting graph detailing the current value of the Yankees franchise. They are assessed at exactly the amount of money that they received from the taxpayers. So it isn’t the Wall Street field suite owners that make the Yankees so damn valuable. It is folks like you and me. I hope that at least you are enjoying your World Series win since you paid for it.
