It’s Friday, and my ass is broker than a joke. I’m actually not broken in as much as I am dealing with a “temporary fiscal deficit”.
Looks like it’s gonna be one of those weekends where my ass does mad free shit.
* ‘Krush Groove’ screens tonite at the Grand Army Plaza central library.
** ‘Favela Rising’ screens tomorrow at the Brooklyn Museum of Art First Saturday. BMA’s First Saturday theme is Brazilian Night. So get out your samba shoes and come dance with a gaggle of Black Bebel Gilbertos.
Thank you sweet Black History Month Jesus for giving us this extra day of February to freeze our nuttsachs off celebrating Africa.
If there is one thing I would like to accomplish in my life it would be to move Black History Month to the same time of the year as “Harlem Week”. This way we can get all this Black Bullshit over with at the same time.
Plus, you can’t celebrate Blackness properly when shit is bricker than a muv up in this muv.
As usual, DP Dot Com likes to celebrate shit by giving away crap to his faithful readers. So along with this website’s FaceBook contest we will have a ‘Name That Negro’ music quiz. Whomever gets the most correct answers will win a FREE copy of the ‘Deep Cover’ DVD. This movie stars LAURENCE ‘Don’t Call Me Larry’ FISHBURNE as well as 40 DAWG’s role model, CLARENCE WILLIAMS III. “Deep Cover’ is widely considered to be required viewing as part of the Hip-Hop genre’s cinematic canon.
I also have another copy left of ‘Escape From New York’ which stars ISAAC HAYES as the underworld godfather in a post-apocalyptic New York City. And as an added treat I will also give away my personal copy of the ‘Red Sonja’ movie starring a pre-crackhead, pre-Flavor Flav BRIGETTE NIELSEN.
Like all the great slap-box champions would say, “Go for what you know…”

** Post Script: [ll] and nullus to all this slow shit. This was supposed to be a Valentine’s Day podcast. Shit dropped late. So sue me.
What?!?
Who do you think pays for the bandwidth overages?
Black History Month brings out the best in me as I try to think of new and inventive ways to celebrate the legacies of such venerable African American statesmen like RALPH BUNCHE or RUDY RAY MOORE. What better way to celebrate than by throwing a contest here at DP Dot Com.
I decided to hook up with Facebook (puns always intended) for this event. Facebook is currently the defacto online social network system now that Friendster has been found to be too faggy and MySpace is totally too ‘hood. BTW, have you become my friend on Facebook yet?
This contest was inspired by my Facebook friend SHANIEL JACKSON and her frequent posts to my Super Wall. I could prah’lee become king of the internets if I had 100 friends like SHANIEL so I decided to have 10 friends like SHANIEL. Almost. I just sent out 100 friend requests to people whose first names began with SHANI. This includes, but is not limited to SHANIECE, SHANIQUA, SHANITRA and just plain SHANI. I kept my shit truly democratic and anyone whose name begins with a SHANI can get it. My Facebook friendship, of course.
For Black History Month I will have a bevy of classic jig cinema available for FREE to the person who has the most friends with names beginning with SHANI. This contest is open to everyone with a Facebook account. The friends on your page can be girls or guys, and since this is Black History Month we will keep shit fully inclusive and fully integrated. The friends on your page can be white as well as Black. Just because February has an extra day this year don’t sleep on this contest. Get it crack-a-lackin’ with the quickness if you want your free flicks.

These two entertainers are what settles for the triple threat of singing and dancing actresses in the year 2008. The truth is that both BeYONCE and JANET couldn’t act their ample asses out of a paper bag, but their wigs deserve academy awards.
If you have ever watched a BeYONCE video then you already know that her wigs display more on screen charisma than her face can convey. Similarly, JANET JACKSON lets her wigs not only act for her, but occasionally they even dance. JANET is still doing the same shoulder shrug move from her PAULA ABDUL days, at least her wigs have learned some new dance steps. Let’s take a look at some of the wigs of these two great Wig Owners.
BeYONCE has more wigs than anyone else has had in their mid-thirties save for the Boss, DIANA ROSS. BeYONCE’s wigs go from straight and sassy, to out of control hussy curls. The added feature of BeYONCE’s wigs are all the diverse blahnge tints that she uses depending on her moods.
JANET JACKSON is a master Wig mistress who displays different colors and lengths at will. The last time I believe I saw JANET’s scalp was in the 1970’s on ‘Good Times’.
Here’s a look at JANET’s most recent music video for her single ‘Feedback’. Yes, that is milk that she is dancing in. I give JANET points for that since the only feedback that milk gives me is from my backside.
JANET JACKSON – ‘Feedback’
BeYONCE covers TINA TURNER’s ‘Proud Mary’ much to the dismay of Mrs. TURNER. However, BeYONCE’s wig does do TINA proud.
