Editor’s note: I know that we aren’t deep enough into baseball season to bring out the metaphors yet, but this drop from MAURICE G GARLAND over at Rezidue is a home run. To keep shit basketball we could call it a slam dunk. Enjoy.
With the Lakers and Celtics set to play in the NBA Finals, my suspicions have finally been confirmed. We are officially stuck back into the 80s.
Really though, look at it:
***A George Bush is in the White House.
***1980’s Movies are being remade.
Transformers
Indiana Jones
G.I. Joe (yes, that is Marlon Wayans)
***Rappers Sounding and Dressing Like This.
The Cool Kids
Life The Great
***Drug Epidemics
Seeing that Doug Collins will be coaching the Chicago Bulls again, I’m predicting that the 1980’s rehash will continue. I just hope good shit than bad comes back. Because something tells me when they finally get around to bringing Starter jackets back out, niggas are gonna go back to shooting for them. I also hope they keep mindless gang violence in the closet too, no need to bring that back. Oh yeah, they can also keep Jheri curls. Even though I had a couple pair of “Burger Kings” back in the day, I can’t say I’m hyped about seeing them return either. Nintendo’s (Wii) are back hot again, so that must mean that Atari is about to come back too.
Some of the things I hope to see return are:
$1.50 for gas
.75 cents to ride Marta
Berry Blue Kool Aid
Hawks in the Playoffs Semi-Finals
An influx of Intelligent Rap Music
Me not having to pay bills
What do ya’ll think?
