The Dark Knight Rules…

Tuesday, July 24th, 2012

In Batman #244 we find him smitten with the daughter of Ra’as Al’Ghul. I can remember keenly getting a chubby reading this book and seeing this image at the ending. Batman was ’bout to get himself some pussy.

In the latest Batman movie, the final installment under the creative direction of Chris Nolan we get to see the return of Talia Al’Ghul to the Batman universe. She isn’t smoking hot anymore, but she is still the bomb (nuclear). Batman’s nemesis for this movie is the supervillain Bane. Well, this sounds like the way to end a groundbreaking trilogy. With a bang.

The Dark Knight Rises sisn’t suck and that is the most important thing you can do in a cinematic trilogy. Let’s be honest, nothing, nothing, NOTHING, is gonna be more hardbody than The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger’s Joker was that of legend. Nolan certainly understand the darkness that the Batman character deserved after years of campy, cheeky caricatures. My only complaints of this movie amount to style points but not to storyline.

Did you peep the references to central intelligence agency hired ‘contractors’ biting off more than they could chew in the opening scene? There were several references to the world we live in that made me laugh at the idea that Batman, like Tony Stark’s industrialist persona are both weapons dealers. These heroes are totally duplicitous problems. They put guns in the streets just to give themselves the work of trying to get guns off the streets.

Our real world totally intersected with the depravity of Gotham City and I feel like the Joker finally won. People are afraid of one another again, and worse, kids trying have fun doing cosplay will be subject to stop and frisk scrutiny. The Batman trilogy didn’t end with the Dark Knight Rises, but our American innocence did, if you were paying close attention.

Even In A Recession, The Guns Stay Working…

Friday, July 20th, 2012

But f’real tho’, has a gun ever been on unemployment?

The guns were working in Colorado a few hours ago doing their job. You understand that the guns job is to kill people right? It’s not supposed to put a nail into a wood plank because that is a hammer‘s job. It’s not supposed to feed you during breakfast because that is a biscuit‘s job.

Guns get cool nicknames so that people don’t have to confront the sole purpose of the gun which is to kill people. Guns aren’t manufactured in East New York, Brownsville or even Aurora, Colorado but those are the places they find their work. Even in a recession, the guns stay working.

The Future Of The Rappy Musics…

Wednesday, July 4th, 2012

Sometimes it feels funny to me when I see rap music’s future is to be controlled by non-Blacks, but then I understand that in order to unlock the future the keys must be passed onward.

That is how I felt from the first time I watched a Das Racist music video. This wasn’t about being ‘joke’ rap to me. Das Racist was free to be D.R. at least in their own minds and I dig that.

Das Racist Chicken and Meat video along with an Oprah Winfrey promotion for FREE chicken had me ranting in the streets.

Chicken done did the white folks wrong.

Rafi Kam plugged me to a D.R. show in L.E.S. the same week my young homey RobACK from the midwest made his way to the big city.

We caught the D.R. show and blew trees right on the Orchard Street sidewalk

After the D.R. show I just used to vibe off their earlier shit. I told Rafi Kam, word to Blu Cheez that I wanted to make a fanboy video to the joint ‘Fake Patois’.

It came to me one night in a blinding fury. I worked all night just to make sure I rolled it out immediately.

I got two more D.R. jernts just for how they shit makes me feel.
