Kim Kardashian has lifted the high watermark from the thigh to the waist with her marriage to divorce reality television show. Never before has a big butt been so profitable to a woman. Sure, there’s been other big butts in the game recently but Kim has shown that you can reach the heights of stardom with zero talent.
Who else comes to mind when you think of famous derrieres?
You have to laugh out loud when you think that BeYonce named her clothing company Dereon. That is some backwoods Texas ‘bama Black bullshit. Only Black people would think that Dereon is a fancy name. Unlike Kim K., BeYonce IS talented and works her ass off to boot.
Well, not her whole ass, but you know what I’m sayin’.
Jennifer Lopez isn’t as talented as BeYonce but then again she works even harder than BeYonce to get her paper up. Jel-Lo has already been married four or five times.
If she lives to be as old as Liz Taylor her marriage-divorce score will be at least a score.
Amber Rose has way less personal talent than BeYonce and J-Lo yet she still has more creative talent than Kim Kardashian. Amber Rose is a professional muse. She took KanYe West’s star and made it a supernova, then she took a middling mixtape rapper and made him mainstream. Where Kim K. takes other people’s swag from them Amber Rose gives away swag like an H & M gift bag.
We may never see Amber Rose getting wild paper from prostituting her image like Kim Kardashian because she doesn’t have those kind of managers surrounding her, but best believe it’s Amber Rose you want the kiss from. Baby, you’re a star.
Editor’s note: The following piece was published in the November 2011 edition of The Source magazine. Copp that! Word to Combat Jack…
If you asked DruHa, the CEO of DuckDown Records, Hip-Hop’s longest lasting independent music label, how he has maintained his foothold in the music business for the better part of 17 years he will tell you that he sees the music game as a marathon and not a sprint. DruHa doesn’t push his artists to deliver music that they don’t feel is right. While this methodical pace may not resonate with pop music stardom it has helped DuckDown Records garner a loyal fanbase which continually supports their artists.
With the idea of being built for the steady pace that wins the race DruHa signed up to run in the ING 2011 NYC Marathon. This isn’t the kind of publicity stunt that your favorite rap impresario might pull off, but an honest and sincere effort to raise money and awareness towards Alzehimer’s disease. DruHa’s father, Harvey Friedman, passed away earlier this year after struggling with the disease for nearly a decade.
In DruHa’s own words, “I wanted to do something extremely challenging in memory of my father and to raise awareness about this compassionless disease. To properly train for a marathon, I’m quickly learning it takes dedication, perseverance and sacrifice of your personal time. All qualities my father exemplified; it’s a fitting way to pay tribute to him”.
After 17 years of the most real, most raw rap music you may have ever heard you should open up your wallets to support DruHa’s efforts in completing this grueling challenge. You can make your donation here: http://2011teamr2r.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=467404&supid=333503565

Carlos Santana – ‘Black Magic Woman’
For this weekend at the Brooklyn Flea I pulled out the Santana ‘Black Magic Woman’ Dunk Highs in the hopes of having some goodluck voodoo I call ‘Shoedoo’. Shit started out bricker than a muvv too. I felt a kinda way about Chocolate Snowflake not checking the weather beforehand.
I ended up having a good day because my homey @MikeyCCL came thru and spent a grip on Deadstock Dallas’ refinery. LOL
My other folks came thru like @DrewPreme. While the shorty @plotzpie and her husband @fineartslibrary almost copped some expensive SB joints, but I guided them to some of my more affordable #swag. Even Terrence came thru and shot some video. Deadstock Dallas isn’t done yet. There are two(2) more outdoor weeks left of the BK Flea and I’m gonna have to pull out some real heatrocks to keep my spot warm.
My favorite trade today was to this weirdo who jumped on my John Byrne ‘Phoenix’ saga X-Men for $15 by offering me $12. I accepted. LOL. I had the comics tucked away in the shoebox of the Steve Nash Air Max 90 Quickstrike ‘Phoenix’. I’m like Crazy Eddie out here making deals and practically giving this shit away. Come thru and check on me Internets.
This weekend also included a visit to the Brooklyn Museum of Art to catch Rich Medina hold it down on the decks as he repped the Jump-N’Funk sonic movement. Brooklyn Museum of Art is the POP LIFE when afrobeat is the vibe. The sound in the great ballroom is all over the place unless you get there early and find that speaker sweet spot.
I’m telling you to get there early since I already know how to play the room. The 1st Saturday party was a fitting end to the day’s activities. I’m going back to the lab to curate another two(2) weeks of Deadstock Dallas at the Brooklyn Flea. I’m pulling out heat from ALL my collections so I hope it doesn’t snow again. My heat will melt that snow and turn it into water. And we all know water no get enemy.
