Not For Long: It Ain’t Over…

M.V.P.!

This was one of the best DP.com football pools ever. Even if the winner was in the lead for every single week of the season. With a few more focused picks I could have pulled this one out in the end, but alas, it was too late to steal victory from the jaws of defeat.

Not like how the Eagles ended the Giants hopes of playing in the post-season tourney.

Speaking of the post-season tournament…

All you registered poolers can jump in on this round for some getback. Yahoo will give you the pickset in a day or so. Hop in this comment thread if you want an invite to join the playoff tourney pool.

Wall Street Is An Inside Job…

This documentary ‘Inside Job‘ will have you sick to your brain. Do you realize the kind of world we live in where a tiny group of people is literally robbing the entire world in plain sight? But that is how they have the game set up.

America: Why R Your Peeps So Dum?

Sadly, there is NOTHING you or I can do. We are fuxed the fux up. Everyone who you thought might could have saved us is in on the racket. If I didn’t like shopping as much as I do suicide would be a favorable option to being around when this shit all falls down.

Trippy New Year…

You have to do yourself a favor and peep this exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum of Art.

Fred Tomaselli

This dude was on some niiiiiice shit when he put together what you might call his collages. They are on another level tho’ from the collages of say Romare Bearden. Tomaselli tried to speak with God. I believe that he got an answer.

The Belvy Got Me Swervy…

I blacked the fux out Monday night off the Belvedere.

Belvy was the sponsor for a self-pour holiday party.

The party was in a suite in the swanky Gramercy Park Hotel.

I easily poured myself a dozen rounds with cranberry and o.j.

Worse than blacking out was the fact that I drove all the way back home to Long Island.

I won’t do this ever again.

I will black out on Belvedere again.

I just won’t ever drink and drive again.

In a relatively small window the model for the recording industry has totally shifted. This wasn’t anything gradual either. It was like tectonic plates shifting underfoot. It was like the earthquake that rattled Haiti. People are devastated. Everything they thought they understood about creating x producing x selling music has been altered and people can’t get back up.

How have music companies dealt with the ground under them being shaken? Not well. The response has been wholly reactionary and hardly progressive. And while the music industry clings to a dead dinosaur our friends at OnSmash.com rest in bureaucratic limbo. OnSmash.com is the NEW industry and this fux with the heads of the old one.

Will the artists that have directly benefited from the online machine come to the side of OnSmash.com and help defend their right to exist? PrA’li not. Hip-Hop/Rap music doesn’t have the voices that would tip the industry towards evolution. People are happy to just be collecting a check without going to jail to create a buzz for themselves. Rappers are the new slaves and OnSamsh.com and NahRight are the respective Harriet Tubman and Nat Turner of this shit.
