Sean Price Is Top Rank…

Friday, October 1st, 2010

sean price

I haven’t gotten up with Sean Price for a minute which means the hardest working rapper in Hip-Hop must have hundreds of projects already completed during the interim.

We linked up last nite at a studio session with the infamous Queens crew Timeless Truth. Solace a/k/a ‘Henny Blanco’ and his brother O-Prime, the Barry Larkin of the rap game, are closing the loop on their debut album as well as a highly anticipated mixtape titled ‘Rockit Science’.

The last quarter of the year is going to be filled with dope rhymes and hard beats from all of these brothers. Sean P let us preview some verses from his various projects. The internets ain’t ready for this dude. The world ain’t ready. No sheila.

Get excited for the Random Axe album. That shit will be bananas.

Mic Tyson is being nailed down after P links with Alchemist in a few weeks.

Sean P x Ill Bill = The Pill.

Heltah Skeltah and so on

Peep this dope visualization from Germany. Sean Price goes top ranking. Who is the nicest rapper in Brownsville? You already know… P!

EA Sports NBA Elite Goes Live…

Monday, September 27th, 2010

durant

In a little over a week EA Sports will unleash its NBA licensed video game on the masses. They are calling this latest installation to their franchise NBA Elite. If the gamemakers at 2K Sports have been an inspiration to the people at Electronic Arts its in how they present this game to the public. With much fanfare and hoopla (do you see what I just did?) EA Sports launched NBA Elite to a crowd of the best tastemakers and influencers in New York City.

2K Sports also held their game’s launch party the same night but I couldn’t get inside their shindig. The dude’s running the list said they couldn’t find my name. So I was left to wait outside for some of the dignitaries to float thru that could help the 2K people respekanize my internets celebrity status.

In the meantime I asked some questions to the NBA players who were exiting the limousines in front of the club. I asked Derrick Rose if he wouldn’t mind Carmelo taking more shots than him if the Bulls traded for him. To his credit Derrick said he didn’t care. I told Rajon Rondo that there was a rumor about his avatar turning the ball over frequently in the 2K game. He sneered back at me. Lulz.

Sean Price was due to perform at the 2K Sports event and I wanted to stick around for dude to get me into the party but I was getting antsy. I knew that there was liquor flowing at the EA Sports soiree and some little chickadees from the ad game I know just left the 2K party to go to the EA one. That was the spark I needed to get to EA’s event. They took over what appeared to be a former bank space and filled it with all kinds of interactive stations from gaming consoles to webcasted video players. EA Sports had the proper circus atmosphere. All they needed was me – the clown.

durant

I sucked down hor’s d’ovaries and vodka/grapefruit drinks like I was out of my mind. I was totally nice by 9pm and I still had to find something to do with myself for the next 2.5 hours before I would go in to tape the Combat Jack Radio Show. So I kept throwing back the vodka mixes, even after they had run out of Stoli I went in with the Svedka. Trays of shrimp cocktail danced around me with the shrimp so big you could ride them home.

The room was spinning more than a Tim Hardaway free throw but I hung tough. I mean, alcohol… Its. What. I. Do. The atmosphere felt like a high school reunion. 40 Diesel was in effect. Meka and LowKey. Clark Kent, Mos Def, Treach, 9th Wonder and J-Cole doing a mini-set. EA Sports doesn’t just know how to throw a party either. They kept the NBA Elite lounge open to the public all weekend. If I wasn’t nursing the massive migraine from opening night I might would have fell thru again to get a better look at the new Kevin Durant shoe EA Sports x Nike collabo.

So which game is better? EA Sports NBA Elite or NBA 2K11. Here’s my breakdown…

Launch Party

NBA 2K11

NBA Elite ’11

NBA Elite ’11

Clearly the best game of all is the EA Sports retro version of NBA JAM.

When you consider the pure artistry of the game of basketball…

I Used To Get It In Oregon [ll]

Saturday, September 25th, 2010

ducks

Elvis Presley once told me that there are only two things in Oregon – Ducks and sick fucks.

Shouts to the prA’li donation from Eugene, Oregon.

I hope you weren’t one of the two dudes busted for rioting. How cool is Eugene that there is a riot with hundreds of people and only two are arrested? None tased. None shot.

Biggups to Eugene police (and prA’li the fact there are no Blacks in Eugene).

duck boots

I remember being in a Ross store in Atlanta and true to form Ross had some random fly shit.

Player exclusive University of Oregon football cleats.

Them shits is flyer than Dries Van Noten shoes, and I own Dries Van Noten wingtips with a kilty [ll].

dries

I planned on visiting the west side before the year was done if my prA’li movement picked up any steam. Eugene, Oregon just put some chips on the trip. Anyone at Beaverton care to match it up?

Das Racist Is From The Future…

Saturday, September 25th, 2010

Being an Internets Celebrity isn’t always all low-brow glamorous like eating an extra value crispy chicken meal at Wendy’s. Like all the best low paying professions there’s some work involved in doing this. It’s good for me that I like this job.

Das Racist invited me to hang out with them at the release party for their latest mixtape project ‘Sit Down, Man’. You might imagine that the tripster darlings of the internets know how to throw a party. Well I’ll confirm the yes. It starts with letting anyone who arrives early get their drink on gratis of the producing party promoting Cerberus – Greedhead, Mad Decent and Mishka.

A few bands that DR fux with opened the stage up for them. Tecla Esposito, who is also part of the retro electro galactic R & B band Gordon Voidwell was the first act. I think I’m in love with her. Keepaway brought an Amish drum and bass rockstar vibe to the party. Next was Maluca Mala who made me think she could be the daughter of Sheila E. and Prince, if they had ever mated.

Das Racist was due to perform next but my glass slipper was about to become a wooden clog because I had to scramble back to Brooklyn to record the Combat Jack Radio Show. I missed the DR set but these folks caught it and liked it.

Stereogum

MetroMix NY

Village Voice

Here’s a link to the mixtape. Definitely give them a spin

A Letter From The Management…

Tuesday, September 21st, 2010

jetting

I’m leaving on a jet plane, I don’t know when I’ll be back again…

I jetted on y’all back in June without too much of a goodbye or warning. Let’s just say that I needed to take a break from the site after 5 years and 4400 posts.

I was also a bit frustrated. The culture that we live in is all about getting what information we can for free and then using that info to exploit our lifestyles. I download music, movies and just about anything else that flows thru the digital ocean. Why should people treat my site any different?

I thought that pointing to the prA’li link on the sidebar was enough to remind folks to support the efforts pored into this website. The writing and content here still doesn’t receive any corporate sponsorship despite my willingness to create advertisements for the brands that I consume and promote. Maybe one day that will happen, but until that time this page will remain here thanks to your donations.

Why should you donate?

Think of this page as a cookie jar in your home. It’s nice to be able to come here and take a cookie whenever you want, but who will put the cookies back in when they are all gone? We don’t think about this when we are children, but when we grow up we realize that someone has to go to the supermarket to buy us some more cookies. Does that make any sense? LOL. The prA’li button helps me buy us all some more cookies.

I don’t want you to think I’m trying to put you folks into my debt bracket with this fundraiser. The prA’li movement is happy with $3. More importantly it puts YOUR name down as a supporter of DP.com and the BluCheezTV brand. I just met a friend in Harlem who introduced himself as reader since way back in the day. I asked him why he never even left a comment and he just shrugged his shoulders. Please don’t be like dude. Let me know you really appreciate the time I spend putting this page in front of you.

While I was away I need to thank Robbie, Meka, Nation, eskay, iHipHopSam and of course Combat Jack for all allowing me an outlet to still talk my talk while DP.com was down. In case you missed these drops here are the links…
