Career Juggling Clowns…

Rappers are walking around with guitars without bothering to learn how to play them just like you see kids walking around with skateboards and the wheels are clean and unscuffed.

Posing has reached an all time high.

And who can blame the posers anyhoo? Ponzi schemes are the only reliable economic sector now. Actors tell us who to vote for and why community service is so damn important and then they jet off to Hawaii.

Does anyone make real shit anymore?

JOAQUIN PHOENIX is going to be a rapper? The faux leading the fake.

I fux with 808s & Heartbreak. I will not be fuxing with any of KanYe West acid wash schmatte, or Andre 3000’s dandy vines, or anyone else who sings, raps, chants, spits or otherwise burps into a microphone for a living. I am buying clothes from the people that have spent their life doing that shit for no other glory than the feel of virgin wool knit into a precise loop.

If some rapper actually knit a sweater with their own hands then I would consider buying that because of the commitment required to complete the item, but no one who raps would do that. Ol’ Dirty Bastard might have done that, but he was special. Ever since Puff released SeanJohn everything else has been str8 clownshoes.

Fast forward to 2009 and some of these dudes are on the verge of giving clowns a classy sartorial image.

Smarten up Taz.

EVERYBODY COUNTS…

hope 2009

The Dept. of Homeless Services HOPE 2009 project went down last night. HOPE stands for the Homeless Outreach Population Estimate. The purpose being to create a point in time estimate of the homeless people living in the city so that services can be given to the areas that need it the most.

I participate in the survey every year because I consider myself on the cusp of homelessness. Bigger than living paycheck to paycheck is also the sense that if I needed shelter I would have no place to turn. That isn’t actually the case, but I like to act like it is so that I stay on my grizzly and I remain thankful for all the things that I do have. Can you even fathom someone living outdoors during this time of year? These are nights not fit for man nor beast.

I took on the role of team leader with my surveying group since I was the only one with the gift of gab. You have to know how to approach people in the ‘hood at 2am. As Chris Rock has previously identified most folks on the streets at 2am are up to no good. You don’t want to jump out on folks on some funny style shit because you will get nathan. Maybe some crazy eyes, but mostly nathan.

In the middle of our survey they base office sent a press team out to watch us complete the survey. They were like a bunch of folks who moved to New York City from Iowa. Even the Black dude from NY1 News who grew up in St. Albans seemed to be a bit of a greenhorn. No disrespect to the brother’s naivete because that is what you get when you leave the ‘hood to go to college and better yourself.

At least the brother was kind enough to put me in his segment that they broadcast. If you live or work in New York City you might should want to turn on your TV to channel 1. I get my Obama stump speech on where I tell people why they should feel a sense of obligation to volunteer for endeavors like HOPE 2009, or anything that is community related. Finally we have overcome Black people. The news is now featuring African Americans that have some intelligent shit to say.

Rock Band’s Newest Guitar Hero…

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Since the beginning of Hip-Hop all rappers ever wanted to be were rock stars. Like him or not, and I don’t like him, Lil’ Wayne is a rock star. he is trashing hotels with his entourage all the while hopped up on homemade narcotics and sleeping pills. I thought he would be gone by now, but he only seems to be getting bigger by the day.

I found myself liking the song ‘Prom Queen’ which I posted below after I heard it on Nah’Right. Even with the New Music Cartel tags throughout the song it still made my head nod. The lyrics are fine too so that means that Wayne didn’t write them. ‘Prom Queen’ is the story of young, unrequited love and the feeling of exultation when you see that person later in life and they are all fucked the fuck up. It is a song that triumphs in the downfall of a woman who sought love with the wrong men.

If you are thinking that is an effed up theme to champion you are right. I don’t agree with the song’s message, but as a sign of our culture it is clearly on point and in step with our overall lack of humanity. The music also rocks.

Shout out to 2DopeBoyz and the New Music Cartel
