dallaspenn.com IS HIP-HOP…

Sunday, September 9th, 2007

I didn’t want to call DP Dot Com a “Hip-Hop” website when we first jumped out the gate. I didn’t think that expressed our mindset to the fullest. I was scared that being labeled as much would mean that we might be overlooked by the tacit supremacy endorsing venues. That was my mistake to try to appeal to those outlets that ultimately don’t RESPECT the message that we project here at Dallas Penn Dot Com.

In all honesty, we were foolish to expect white folks to trade in their supremacy tickets for this Hip-Hop movement. Only Robbie from UnKut would be that crazy kind of white dude, but he is also Australian so you can’t really call it with one of those Aussie cats. My homie from OhWord, RAFI KAM is pretty serious too, but I don’t expect him to totally cash out of his whiteness either. I mean, c’mon. he’s got a family to feed. Trading in your white power for some global love understanding is almost too much to ask for from anyone. So I ain’t even mad at you if the men in black come visit you and make you yell out “Sieg Busche!”

I have been peeping some video content from a group of dudes that call themselves ‘The Real’. Unfortunately, for Hip-Hop, these dudes are anything but. Hip-Hop belongs to everyone that wants to represent it as it truly exists. These dudes have decided to parody the artform, but they aren’t fans of the artform itself. This kind of sucks for me because I have to blast on a group of dudes that feel good about the content they are creating. If someone told me that the iNTERNETS CELEBRITIES weren’t Hip-Hop I would feel a kind of way. These dudes are not Hip-Hop though. I won’t even link to their shit. If you know these cats, the Rosenthal brothers, then you already know them.

Rosenthal brothers; stop bullshitting and hire some writers that speak Hip-Hop. Hire some production assistants that are Hip-Hop. Y’all niggers are doing your thing, but you ain’t Hip-Hop, and you are embarrasssing me, but for the most part, you are embarrassing yourselves. That is not Hip-Hop.

DP DOT COM WEEKEND PREVIEW…

Get outta the house hotdamnit! With only a couple more weekends left of summer it’s time for you to put your ass in overdrive to find the fun in the sun. Here’s what your boy is cooking up…

The iNTERNETS CELEBRITIES will have their seminal film on Bronx poverty ‘Bodega’ screened before a vegetarian hipster crowd in the lower east side. Not to be snide, but the group screening the picture is one of those community based organizations that believes that even New York City should have healthy, affordable food and green areas for ALL of it’s residents. I believe in that too, but mostly I believe in eating for free and these folks are gonna feed the kid. CHEA!

Brooklyn hasn’t lost yet this summer. Saturday, today, is Fort Greene Day and the park will be filled with live music from a gang of artists. Main event is TALIB KWELI and the party is free to the public. Come out to the park and enjoy all the beautiful people. Fort Greene Park is at Fort Greene Place and DeKalb Avenue. Brooklyn USA.

Sunday will have my main nigga on the SLR trigger, ERNIE PANNICIOLI, previewing his documentary, and reflecting on his thirty plus years as a Hip-Hop photographer. Someone remind me to bring a ‘Kill White Tee’ shirt for ERNIE to wear.

I went to several movies over the last two weeks and if you are thinking about hitting up a film you should fuck with one of these…

1986 bths

I decided to add my own little wrinkles to this years DP Dot Com Football Pool…

Weekly Winners
Weekly Winners will receive free shit from DP Dot Com Football Pool sponsors as of which there are none right now, but do not be forlorn or dismayed because I’m sure that someone will have some free shit to give us in return for their advertisements.

Overall Loser
As difficult as it will be to win this pool outright will be the difficulty in being the worst of all poolers. Whomever finishes the season with the lowest overall point total and played the entire time will definitely have a pair of kicks sent to them courstesy of DP Dot Com.

As a reminder, don’t forget to complete your Pick’Em sheet in it’s entirety. Including ALL tiebreaker questions.

LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!
