This documentary will shed some light on how the slavery was transferred into the modern day prison industrial complex.
Is it any wonder that more people are incarcerated in America now than were ever in bondage in American history?

iFux With Phony People…
Thursday, January 26th, 2012
Phony PPL is a rap band coming out of Brooklyn. It’s too simplistic for me to call them the Roots 2.0 reboot, but that is the vibe I am catching from them. Rhythm, blues, rap, soul and just a tinge of funk. I’ve seen them perform twice already in the new year and I’m hype to see them develop their groove.
DL their debut album ‘Phonyland‘ and catch the PhonyPPL wave…
‘Break It Off’
‘4 The 1st Time’
‘If This Is How Love Feels’
‘Save My Generation’
ti$A x NYC = Tammany Hall 2.7.12

Love & Loyalty On The Deuce…
Monday, January 23rd, 2012
If you told me twenty yrs ago that I would be friends on a first name basis with Lo-Lifes I would call you crazy. In the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn there had been so much blood, sweat and tears spilled over the acquisition of clothing it was senseless. It wasn’t simply the struggle to attain a fresh level of gear, but the real struggle was in keeping that clothing on your back.
The ‘Lo Goose On The Deuce’ event was a celebration of surviving those days and remaining fresh to this day.
That boy Krash made sure he repped the royalty along with the love and the loyalty. Hail Meg!
I fux with the homies ‘Fit right here.
Layers and layers of Artic Challenge I.T.s
AYAK brothers rocked the RLX
Super Bad MC Solace brought the sickest accoutrement with him. His lady, in the RLX parka. Niiiice.
My goggle swag was on a trillyonnnnnn.
Rack-LO is one of the LO-Life founders
The gathering moved from 42nd Street to the TKTS triangle in Times Square. Circle ski representatives were in full effect.
Now the event was starting. The competition was to see who had the freshest ‘Fit.
The two sickest outfits were worn by Bob-LO and his brother Bek-Live. Bob-LO rocked the official police badge skisuit with a K-Swiss knit underneath. That shit was tougher than leather.
Bek-Live killed it too by popping tags on a Descente outfit. What do you know about Descente? Bek-Live took me all the way back to the Scandinavian Ski Shop days. Bek-Live shut it down by rocking the OG Gucci joints with the red/green laces. This is how you do it.
It was dope to see decades of brotherhood and style combined into one. Next years’ event will be even sicker and larger. Peace to the LO-Lifes, my Decep brothers, the A-Team and ALL the kids who made the Deuce the most exciting and stylish place in New York city.
Get Your Tail To Watch Red Tails…
Sunday, January 22nd, 2012
If you don’t know the story of the Tuskeegee Airmen then you are prA’li someone who doesn’t know about the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, the first formal unit of the US Army to be made up entirely of African-American men. Black dudes BEEN getting their ass shot the fux off just to say they too sing America.
‘Red Tails’ is George ‘Star Wars’ Lucas telling the story of the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the U.S. Army Air Corps. We refer to these soldiers as the Tuskeegee Airmen since that is where they were trained in Alabama during the segregated period of America’s armed forces. Read the Tuskeegee Airmen’s Wiki page.
George Lucas does a deft job in describing the valor which these soldiers possessed without doing too much pandering. The story is incredible in itself before Lucas adds his Industrial Light and Magic techniques. Flying an airplane is difficult enough without trying to shoot something from it. The Tuskeegee Airmen’s bravery wasn’t so much about the German planes they destroyed as it was in the American planes which they helped return from their bombing missions.
There were a few moments in the film which made me cringe because of the dialogue being used by the actors but nothing was said which detracted from my enjoyment of this film. This might be the first time I even enjoyed watching Terrence Howard act. So yeah, Lucas was definitely using his magic for this one. Do yourself a favor and go out to see this family flick.
‘Red Tails’ isn’t a Black movie.
‘Red Tails’ is an American movie and I too sing America.
