Atlanta Gets TURNED UP!

Monday, March 19th, 2012

Atlanta might not host the ‘Freaknik’ celebration any longer, but don’t get it twisted thinking the party has stopped in this town. From the Blue Flame skripper club to the Cascade skating rink, Atlantans know how to get ‘TURNED UP’. That phrase was taught to me by the homey G-Roc from The Shoe Game.

That’s why Premium Pete made sure to hit me on the hip and let me know that God’s favorite deejay. Clark Kent was in Atlanta and spinning at a party. Listen to me… I have been dancing to Clark Kent sets since 1989 and I have NEVER had a bad time in these parties. Most of them have been the greatest joints ever.

The party theme is called ‘I <3 NY’ and it drops only once a month. The promoters bring in deejays from NYC to keep the flavor authentic.

I’ll definitely plan my scheduled return to the ‘A’ around this event. The shit was just that TURNED UP. Don’t take my word for it either. Peep the photo gallery.

Peace to the homey Keinon and #SneakerFiendsUnite rep Mark the King for showing me official southern hospitality while I was in the building.

After several rounds of Long Island Ice Teas and a few shot courtesy of the King I was extra right and ready to get my ass to the Waffle House.

Ka: ‘Decisions’

Saturday, March 17th, 2012

Every now and again you get to hear a song which reminds you why you love Hip-Hop music so much. The Message was that first song which gave me the freedom to believe music could transform my surroundings. It was like the song explained the world and the consequences which would follow if you didn’t make the right choices for your life.

The Message was a cautionary tale but still filled with compassion. That is how I feel about this song right here. ‘Decisons’ by Ka is that teach-the-babies rap music. You don’t hear too much of this sound anymore because empowering poor people’s thought patterns isn’t commercially viable. Ka seems like the type of rapper who knows this song won’t get burn on the radio.

DP.com has to always be a place for THESE rappers and these songs.

The post-party ramblings of an alchoholic are sometimes humorous.

This be what a Dallas Penn Public Service Announcement from Atlanta might would sound like.

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Reebok’s homage to Jean-Michel Basquiat isn’t just honorable, it’s evolutionary. Basquiat’s influence within the pop culture art scene is part of the Hip-Hop godhead. Basquiat is the voice of the disenfranchised and eternally creative. There is no definition for this spirit and the only word we can find to be a synonym is FREEDOM.

Thanks to Reebok for blessing me and the Combat Jack Show staff with these kicks. #Respect
