Support The DP.com Movement…

support

It’s that time of the year I reach out to my family and ask y’all to to put a few shekels in the DP.com tip jar aka the PrA’li button. Even some of my best internets friends have gone back to using the word ‘prolly’ because they don’t believe in the PrA’li movement any longer. I hope some of y’all still do. PrA’li don’t need a dub or even a dime to keep it moving. A five spot is all it takes to put your name on the DP.com snail mail list.

For those of you with a little more than a five spot I want to offer you an I.T. from my recent archives. Pictured below are two (2) Nike ACG sweatshirts both sized 3XL. Each is being offered at $28 which includes USPS Priority S/H along with delivery confirmation. Since I only have these two items in brown and hunter green I want to kindly ask you to let me know via the comments thread which one you want so that I don’t oversell these.

Thanks as always for the support DP.com family and stay logged on to the best website on these whole internets.

Chocolate Snowflake’s Winter Wonderland…

Thursday, December 30th, 2010

During the blizzard of 2010 Chocolate Snowflake and I found some time to play around in the snow.

We went post-holiday shopping at my favorite store (Marshall’s, natch) and found her a pair of boots for the rest of the winter.

Cablevision went down in her apartment building so I couldn’t spend anytime on the internets. C.S. took the opportunity to get me out of the house.

We walked down Eastern Parkway which was reduced to a one lane traffic strip. Snowfall doesn’t stop the birds or the graf artists.

C.S. took me to the movies where we saw this documentary called ‘Inside Job’. Don’t go see that movie if you still think Obaama is any different from Bush I or II. He’s not. Dude was bought and sold from way back. We haven’t even begun to pay down on the debt that the financial industrial complex has put on our heads.

On Monday night Chocolate Snowflake took me to a play in midtown Manhattan called ‘Black Nativity Now‘. It was a cornbread circuit production full of dancing and praise sanging, as opposed to a chitlin circuit play which is filled with cooning and tomfoolery.

While the city was a mess and it would be several days before it could dig itself out from the snow, C.S. and I kept it moving. Offline but on our grind.

Santa Came To The Ghetto…

I copped this image from a racist-apologist website. Apparently anything with a Black man on it is automatically ghetto, even if he is wearing a classy tophat.

For this year Santa found my chimney again [ll]. He knows I’m the dude that has almost everything so to hook me up he has to think outside of the box. In this case that means socks.

Dirty Jerz and Chocolate Snowflake came thru with foot coverings that appeal to my heartstrings. Jerz also laced me with more items not pictured here but trust me they are official. Now I feel a kind of way that I haven’t sent my package to him yet [ll].

C.S. also blessed me with a couple of books I’ve needed.

The Anthology of Rap has been buzzing around the internets and I am already enjoying some the songs I’ve seen they have published. I always worried that some white would come around to give rap and Hip-Hop culture the ol’ National Geographic anthropologist treatment and they would inherently fux shit up since they are examining the freedom song without having the right amount of soul.

Yeah, it happened.

At least I have this Willie Mays autobiography to get me hype for the spring. I read this Hank Aaron bio last year that fuxed my head up. It appears that the Hammer and the Say Hey Kid weren’t as tight as I had hoped to believe. Aaron was angry with the Mays comparisons he had gotten all of his career, at least up until he eclipsed Willie on the all-time HR list. Willie was described as a bigot and somewhat of a clubhouse poison. Last I remember both Aaron and Mays have won the same amount of World Series. One.

Anyhoo, I hope you all had a merry Christmas with your folks. I’ll see you on the flipside.

A Letter From The Management…

The stretch run for 2010 has begun. How was the year for you?

I can honestly say that 2010 was one of DP’s best years of all time.

The Internets Celebrities had that New York Times article. That was big.

The interview with the former governor was a classic too. What Does It Smell Like? Power. No one man should have all that power.

DP was hired by iHipHop.com, then later in the year TheBVX.com put him on to up drops to their page.

And then there was The Combat Jack Show bringing the change that we all need to urban radio.

DallasPenn.com is just happy to get to the finish line of another year knowing that what it truly represents is the starting point for another spin around the sun.

Thank you for your continued support of DallasPenn.com and the prA’li movement.

Onward and upward.

Excelsior.

#FREEONSMASH

Monday, December 20th, 2010

hof

In a relatively small window the model for the recording industry has totally shifted. This wasn’t anything gradual either. It was like tectonic plates shifting underfoot. It was like the earthquake that rattled Haiti. People are devastated. Everything they thought they understood about creating x producing x selling music has been altered and people can’t get back up.

How have music companies dealt with the ground under them being shaken? Not well. The response has been wholly reactionary and hardly progressive. And while the music industry clings to a dead dinosaur our friends at OnSmash.com rest in bureaucratic limbo. OnSmash.com is the NEW industry and this fux with the heads of the old one.

Will the artists that have directly benefited from the online machine come to the side of OnSmash.com and help defend their right to exist? PrA’li not. Hip-Hop/Rap music doesn’t have the voices that would tip the industry towards evolution. People are happy to just be collecting a check without going to jail to create a buzz for themselves. Rappers are the new slaves and OnSamsh.com and NahRight are the respective Harriet Tubman and Nat Turner of this shit.

Let my people go Department of Homeland Security. Let my people go…
