This was one of the most special Combat Jack shows I have had a chance to be a part of. We had Swedish internets in the booth. We had Reebok come thru and hang HARD with the crew all nite long. We had the honor of sitting down with Bun B, the underground king.
If trill means ‘too real’ then this is the trillest episode of the Combat Jack Show. UGK$LIFE!!!
Peep Carmelo’s expression. A portrait of befuddlement.
From Leandro Barbosa in Toronto to Boris Diaw, now with the Charlotte club, we are watching Mike D’Antoni’s former charges from the desert leave him high and dry as the Knicks coach. The countdown to his coaching tenure is ringing like an alarm clock and the Knicks management dare not hit the snooze button again.
The team was summarily smoked by the Charlotte Bobcats on the MSG floor lastnite. It wouldn’t have felt as bad had I watched the contest on television so that maybe the Garden crowd’s discontent might could have been filtered away from my ears. Instead I sat in the stands courtesy of some generous Swedish internets.
When this cheer broke out late in the 3rd quarter you could understand the desperation of the MSG attendees for something, anything, yet still nothing came forward. The Knicks were uninspired to play and maybe that is even wishful thinking. Maybe these Knicks are incapable of playing at a middling mediocre level?
There were sloppy turnovers and far too many three point shots. Amar’e had too many three point shot attempts by himself. Shots seemingly thrown at the rim on a line with no arc or rotation and then long rebounds leading to Bobcat breaks which no one was particularly interested in defending. Who are THESE Knicks?
These Knicks are Mike D’Antoni’s creation of a longshot to contend in the East. And of late the longshot has looked like NO SHOT. Under 35% from downtown and less than 10 foul shots from your superstar battery will doom any team. So I’m not saying we should change D’Antoni because the teams shots have been clanging off the rim.
We should remove D’Antoni because these Knicks don’t respect the value of being a good defensive team. This is OUR legacy as a basketball team. Not Showtime or Run-n-Gun basketball. For disrespecting the everlasting heritage of the New Yorks Knicks defense Mike D’Antoni must go.
The opening track from Maffew Ragazino’s critically acclaimed album ‘Rhyme Pays’ gets BluCheez’d and then YouTube’d.
Rap music in 2012 is str8 up blaxploitation where the Blacks are now cartoons and caricatures of themselves. Where blaxploitation films saved Hollywood from financial collapse in the early 1970s the new blaxploitation in rap music is strangling the art of Hip-Hop.
Hopefully Maffew Ragazino can be the shield that Hip-Hop needs to defend itself from the culture vultures and caveman currency savages simply trying to profiteer from the music without supporting the culture or the future. Maffew Ragazino literally needs to become the Ultimate Nick Fury from S.H.I.E.L.D.

I decided to make a little video of my gift from Timberland. The Lite Trace hiker is official tissue. Super lightweight, yet heavy-duty on the ground. I’m gonna be rocking these shoes for most of the winter until the precipitation warrants the hardbody hightops.
Holler at me if you are interested in those 40 Belows (sz 10).
The number 7 is representative of God and divine completion. The 7 train cuts a swath thru the heart of Queens. NYC’s 7 train logo is outlined with a purple circle. Purple is the color of kings. The 7 train’s logo posts the color of royalty in 360 degrees.
Gab Gotcha, Meyhem Lauren and Shaz IllYork pay homage to the purple 7.
