NYC Monday Is The New Friday…

I fux with Mondays.

Hardbody.

Shouts to iFux’ iCandy

Mondays is the shit because after you kick Monday’s ass they can’t give you another one until next week.

Fridays is the scam homies.

When can you really taste Friday? When does that shit become your own? 6pm? So now you only got .25 left of Friday for yourself?!?

F for fail otherwise known as uLose.

Thank GOD for Mondays in NYC. The new Friday. The first part of Friday. Friday in NYC is really Monday and Tuesday. You need Tuesday to get on your after hours steez. Paradise Garage from 4am until noontime. Or Bassline, or Lovelite, or Choices, or (gasp!) Robots.

If I went to Robots then GOD would be the only way back to Earth.

Sonn be tripping hard. Body. Body and Soul.

Last night the spaceship was on some sexy vote shit. Everybody is trending out for voting like that shit is skinny jeans tapered to zero. Niggas don’t know that my vote was to come and enjoy that free ass wine. My #1 neggar on the $1 dumpling trigger, Freedom’s DJ Herbert, and my homey DJ Scribe were on the sound system. Haven’t been to a Scribe joint in a minute. I forgot how much soul these dudes got.

The crowd was on some beautiful Black bullshit with pretty motherfuckers like Maxwell just maxin’ and relaxin’. I knew I wasn’t sexy enough to be up in that party, but I stayed anyhoo and I drunk my free wine.

Fuck that wineglass bullshit. Got myself a plastic cup so I could go in @ 100mph with no brakes.

Never smiling.

Shouts to flameproof Flamboyant Productions

They screened that video clip from the BBC’s bootleg MICHAEL MOORE about voting shenanigans. Nobody that promotes this voting shit ever gets it right. There’s always a fear factor to entice you to vote. Nobody ever talks about the positivity of communities coming together to struggle and survive.

Niggas in Ohio will wait on a five hour line because there is only one broke ass machine at the polling station. That is the glory you fucking faggots. How powerful is the dream of having a voice. I won’t even sit in no hotdamned church for longer than three hours.

Voting is realer than GOD in some communities. It is a connection to the motherfuckers across the railroad tracks. Everybody wants their garbage picked up three times a week. Not just now that the ‘hood is being gentrified.

I wish Abdul had always stocked organic vine tomatoes instead of Lil’ Debbies. Awww sheeeeeeeeit, who am I kidding? Lil’ Debbie grew up to be a whore. And I loved her sweet, creamy goodness.

VOTE AND LIVE is the grand idea. A Diddy swagger jack or another Diddy community organizing program? You be the judge. The correct answer however would be the latter.

Who else could make voting this sexy?

In New York city.

Where Mondays are the new Fridays.

assbeads

Fist pounding and assbeads?!? ***

No wonder the Cowboys stay losing!

This season my football pool picks have gotten me in a hole.

In the DP.com pool I’m stuck in the middle sandwiched by CeeRICH and the Swede with swagger.

Not a bad place to be in real life either, but I’m looking to win this ish so I have to be a power top.

The XXL mag pool is all dudes looking to come up on a crispy pair.

They don’t stand a chance.

To beat me in the football pool you gotta love the game.

Wide receivers and tight ends catching balls.

Scatbacks taking hand offs in the pocket.

*** [ll] to this entire drop.

CMJ Day 1: M = Marathon…

cmj

The College Media Journal Music Festival is effing reederkulon3000.

There is too much shit going on in too many different places.

Last night I skated through the West Village before going to Brooklyn and returning to Freeport.

NYC was on fire.

The DeCon Media shindig was dope. The DeCon family was in full effect and they got me right inside of the club. I was there primarily to see 88 Keys, but I was pleasantly surprised by Aceyalone’s mic skills and Izza Kizza’s energy.

88 Keys album ‘The Death Of Adam’ is a concept joint with the theme of the vagina being the universe’s most all powerful force. While typing that sentence I had the Freudian slip of the word “moist”. I should’a left it right? 88’s song ‘Nice Guys Finish Last’ is that knock and there is a track with a Redman feature that I need to have in my life. DeCon?!? Make this happen for me.


88 Keys – ‘Nice Guys Finish Last’

The next venue was the legendary S.O.B.s on West Houston Street. This is the last real piece of Hip-Hop NYC alive. This spot was hosting the MARK RONSON allIdo showcase and I arrived just in time for Wale and U.C.B. If you have a chance to see Wale backed by the classic Go-Go band U.C.B. please take advantage of the moment. Live band Hip-Hop is so very necessary. U.C.B.’s percussionist Slump is a fucking genius too.

I got a chance to build with Plain Pat and Kid Cudi. Too bad for me I was already drunk and high. I forgot the name of Kid Cudi’s track called ‘Love Stoned Freestyle’. That shit is my fucking shit for real. Plus the ‘Day ‘N Nite Crookers Remix’ is the theme song for the iNternets Celebrities F.I.T. Club.

Kid Cudi will be one of the handful of dudes on XXL mag’s December cover that you will still hear from several years from now.


Kid Cudi – ‘Love Stoned Frestyle’


Kid Cudi – ‘Day ‘N Nite (Crookers Remix)’

I might have played myself by telling Plain Pat my plans to make a fanboy video to ‘Ye Tudda’s ‘Love Lockdown’. I need to shoot that video ASAP now so that these dudes that aren’t on the ‘nets all the time see how ill I get it crackin’. My new name when I am directing videos is going to be PRIK GORDO. [ll], of course.

I finished the night watching my homey JOELL ORTIZ spit his shit in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It’s crazy to have a career come full circle. From rhyming in ciphers on Williamsburg corners to finally making it inside of the building. JOELL didn’t even take a fee for appearing either. He asked the promoter to donate the fee to a program for bringing computers to kids in the area. JOELL’s aim is to give kids the information that the world outside of Williamsburg is filled with unlimited possibilities. This is why fam is my favorite rapper. He is never gonna get a Maybach this way, but at the end of the day he is way more important to the kids in his community.

Stay tuned for my interview with JOELL ORTIZ. Stay tuned for more CMJ updates…

DP.COM STUDIO SESSIONS…

STATIK SELEKTAH’s new album ‘Stick 2 the Script’ dropped today. The album features ridiculous cameos from everyone. No, really. EVERYONE.

My favorite track features verses from TALIB KWELI, SKYZOO and my number one nigga on the mic trigger, JOELL ORTIZ.

Talking ‘Bout U (Ladies)’

I got a chance to visit the studio when JOELL came through to lay down his verses. The environment was focused and all about work. I almost made my own rap song, except I can’t rap.

At all.

What I need to do is stay in my lane and ‘Stick 2 The Script‘.

DeCon

This is one of the craziest weeks in NYC’s entertainment industry. This is the time when the College Media Journal Music Marathon hits the town. Hundreds of bands perform in hundreds of venues across the city. If you love music then you need to be here in New York City.

I love free booze.

And free tchotchkes a/k/a SCHWAG bitches.

Depending how hard I go in [ll], I could have myself a month’s worth of free t-shirts.

Speaking of free shit…
