SELLING BLACKNESS…

Do I ever tell you good folks how much I appreciate the time you spend over here? I’m trying to cull images and simultaneously write several different drops for this site. All the while my head keeps slumping as I fight my fatigue with Bacardi mixed with Apple & Eve Fruit Punch. It’s 100% juice bitches! The grape drink is for Passover. I write these drops at 3-5am and I know they have to be pockmarked with spelling and grammatical errors on the regulack. Thank you for holding your own against my failings.

I don’t know how I feel about celebrations for no good reason, but I just noticed that I have eclipsed more than 1500+ posts for this website. That’s pretty good shit even if I say so myself. I’ve had help from friends old and new and I only ask that your committment to my success remains the same. Ha. No seriously. I regard my success at this site solely in the dialougue that is inspired. I’m a comments junkie. This is why I don’t run ad banners here. I don’t want you to leave DP Dot Com. I don’t want you to click away from here. If you do leave me for a minute then visit the sites on my blogroll. They’re good folks I think.

This is going to be one of those drops that just floats around my head space for awhile.

“I got so much trouble on my mind,
refuse to lose,
here’s your ticket,
hear the drummer get wicked.”


I have wanted to get on here and rip the television show ‘The Wire’ a new asshole. This is some bullshit they are perpetrating, blah, blah, blah, because ultimately, no matter how many center city public schools you have taught in, you cannot tell the ultimate ghetto story. You can’t do it because your real life still frames your values and morality. To get down to the bone gristle, the bone marrow of a situation, you have to live the life. You have to taste the despair firsthand and then let it overwhelm you so that your humanity pours out of you. You have to be empty and cold as ice.

R.I.P. WILLIAM LEWIS a/k/a ‘BILLY BANG’
The last of the Peter Pans came to rest in a Corona Queens barbershop Wednesday afternoon. All the evening news programs had a 15 second segment of the story. 15 minutes of fame = 15 seconds of infamy when being ‘hood rich is all you know. I will do a drop on my little big homey, BILLY BANG later this year.

“hit ya back split ya,
fuck fist fights and lame scuffles,
pillow case to your face make the shell muffle,
shoot your daughter in the calf muscle,
fuck a tussle nickel-plated,
sprinkle coke on the floor make it drug related,
most hated”


GOD bless the white man. In his supreme benevolence he has decided to appoint Uncle Ben the C.E.O. of the brand that makes Uncle Ben’s Converted Rice. Ha! Uncle Ben you still a dumb azz nigga. It took you over fifty years to finally get a raise. Jay-Z and HUSTLE $IMMON$ were C.E.O.’s in a fraction of that time. I suppose the next corporate makeover will be homeboy from the Cream of Wheat boxes and then finally Aunt Jemima.

CAPTAIN BILLY SUNDAY’s PIRATE RADIO PODCAST

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

iPirate

A year or so ago my homey from L.A. the TechWhore sent me an album that I was sure would change the sound of Hip-Hop. The title was called ‘Niggaz and White Girls’ and it was produced by Bay Area rappers Kirby Dominant and Chris Sinister. They essentially sampled all of the best new wave tunes from the early to mid 1980’s and added their Cali sensibilities to the rhyme flow. I thought that it was a breath of fresh air from all of the homoerotic gangterism that was populating the genre. It’s a fun album and there are several skits that play around with the inappropriate title of the disk. At the end of the day it’s just good Hip-Hop music.

I’ve been meaning to expose y’all to some of these tracks since I enjoyed the album so much. There’s a little bit of profanity here and there so put on the headphones if you are in the cube at the 9-2-5. Otherwise pump up the volume and enjoy the BARACK OBAMA meets HILLARY CLINTON mash up, or as I like to call it – O.J. and NICOLE BROWN in rap music form.

Pumping Up Some Middle East Diplomacy…

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

I told you folks before that it was going down like a James Brown rent party…

U.S. warships are posting up along the coast of Iran and waiting for G DUBBZ to hollar back. What’s really at stake will be how the Middle East receives essential energy like electricity, heat and water. If the U.S. makes their push now and wrangles control of the region Halliburton will be the most important corporation for the next fifty years.

No wonder Halliburton moved it’s corporate headquarters to Dubai. Them niggas want to stay on top of their money on the daily basis, right at the source. It’s not only oil that’s important but the future energy sources that oil makes possible. If the U.S. let’s Iran become energy independent then how will we control smaller states like Syria and Jordan? Fuck that! Everyone has to buy from us. We are the hardbody bully on the block. Although we can’t just come out and say that since the rest of the world is already jealous of our supreme clientele. Instead we should say something slick like the conservative Muslim government in Iran is supporting terrorism.

Ha! They shootin’. Made you look.

By the way things are shaping up we may have our foot up that Iranian arse before July 4th. My opinion is eff ’em. If shitting on Iran gives me cheaper gas prices then who am I to get in the way of this imperialist manifest destiny? Rock on with your bad self G DUBBZ.

JIGS IN SPACE…

Most people have enough sense to read news headlines from any place other than here, but for those of you foolish enough to think that I have any common sense left in my brain, here is my favorite newsreel story from the weekend…

BARRINGTON IRVING, a 23yr old aerospace student from Jamaica is preparing to circumnavigate the globe in a single engine plane that he built from donated parts.

To be young, gifted and Black. I can just imagine the young Mr.IRVING rummaging through the Trenchtown junkyards, cobbling his plane together from discarded BMW parts and empty soup cans.

This young man’s spirit and determination reminds me of one of the greatest stories in jig folklore. The story of the Old Negro Space Program. I’m sure you’ve seen this before, but it’s funny and true, so watch it again.

YOU SHOULD FUCKS WITH RALPH BAKSHI…

street fight

BIOCHEMICAL SLANG!
Why don’t you mail that DVD I sent you to someone in the cipher and let them experience the film? I’m talking about this classic dope 1970’s Black power flick called ‘Street Fight‘ a/k/a ‘Coon Skin’. It’s a revolutionary movie on so many levels. For one, the storyline exposes how supremacy uses several organizations to keep Black people in check. It’s hot shit that you need to fucks with. As a matter of fact…

Los Angeles stand up! Your boy QUENTIN TARANTINO is hosting his Grindhouse Film Festival at the New Beverly Cinema and tonight they are screening ‘CoonSkin’. So get your ass up off the couch and go see a classic film starring PHILLIP MICHAEL THOMAS. BARRY WHITE and the legendary SCATMAN CROTHERS.

RALPH BAKSHI was also a trailblazing filmmaker for his style of using animation over real photo backdrops. This added to the gritty, dark personality in some of his films. I find myself trying to figure out where some of his locations were filmed at in New York City. The technique brings a surreality to his art. BAKSHI is one of the best to ever do it.

Speaking of RALPH BAKSHI…

I got an e-mail from some cats at www.thenursery.tv about a cartoon series they developed that they thought I would like. They were right. Their work is funny and highly influenced by BAKSHI’s art. I also noticed that some of their backgrounds were shot in my old stomping grounds like Washington Square Park and the the Fun Factory in Long Island City. Good shit. Peep game…
