VH-1: Not All Crap

Thursday, September 14th, 2006

hhh logo

Just when I am ready to throw Viacom Corp. under the bus, they produce a program that is the highlight for my entire year…

Approaching it’s third annual broadcast, the VH-1 Hip-Hop Honors might be the greatest Hip-Hip program ever produced. The formula of featuring new emerging talent along with honored performers has made it the one show that hasn’t reduced rap music to minstrelsy and cornball posturing. I admit that the hosting can get better, but who can argue with the talent that has been on display since their first broadcast? If you just arrived in America from say, Nebraska, and you wanted to know what Hip-Hop music was about then the Hip-Hop Honors program is your 101 class.

Past honorees have included Public Enemy, KRS-1, Grandmaster Flash, LL Cool J, Tupac, Notorious B.I.G., Kool Herc, Salt-n-Pepa, RUN D.M.C., and Ice motherfuckin’ Tee. This years’ show looks like it’s going to be the best one yet with LIL’KIM honoring MC LYTE. ICE CUBE, WU-TANG, RAKIM, EAZY-E, the BEASTIE BOYS and the great AFRIKA BAMBAATA are all being honored and/or performing as well as DIDDY, LIL’ JON, FAT JOE, REMY MA, YOUNG JEEZY, XZIBIT, COMMON and Q-TIP. I smell a DILLA tribute inside of this program that you don’t want to miss. Even my funky uncle, GEORGE CLINTON is scheduled to perform.

Forget a BET Awards or a VMA, what you really want to watch is VH-1’s Hip-Hop Honors premiering Tuesday, October 17. And starting on Friday, September 15, VSPOT, VH-1’s broadband channel will launch a dedicated Hip Hop channel with extensive on-demand music playlists from this year’s “VH-1 Hip-Hop Honors” honorees. The channel will be programmed with additional content throughout September and October and will include honoree profiles and exclusive programming and performances from the on-air broadcast of the show.

FREEDOM FRIDAY RETURNS…

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

free

NYC’s #1 dance party jumps off again at a movie theater!?!

That’s right party people, FREEDOM FRIDAY is back to give your body and soles the groove that they have been missing. Their new home, TriBeCa Cinemas, is spacious and relaxing. There are two seperate levels for dancing and lounging as well as a movie theater which will play some of your favorite classics from ‘Star Wars’ to ‘The Last Dragon’.

The best part about FREEDOM’s new digs is that the old price points are still in full effect. This means that when you say the name ‘DALLAS PENN‘ to the cashier, ladies will pay only $5 and fellas only have to pony up $7. Doors crack at 10pm and there will be an open vodka bar from 10pm until midnite.

The bigger news than FREEDOM moving is that they are now rolling with politcial pimp KEVIN POWELL. This means that the ladies will be mostly from the ‘Talented Tenth‘ and there may even be a BeYonce or Solange sighting up in that piece. Stay tuned…

TriBeCa Cinemas
54 Varick Street
(one block south of Canal Street)

EUGENICS ARE FUN FOR EVERYONE…

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

total recall

The big deal to me about ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGAR’s remarks from last week is how he recognizes that Eugenics, or selective human breeding can make people more attractive. It’s fun when you think about combining the attributes of people that you consider desirable. That’s why corporations have spent countless billions of dollars using scientists to study and dissect the human genome. Can you imagine how hot a woman clone would be if she could have a huge ass and light creamy skin and blonde hair?!?

The history of Eugenics dates back to chattel slavery here in America where some slave owners stopped producing agricultural commodities solely to focus on the yield of additional children borne from slaves. This forced breeding was producing waves of able bodied workers from the healthiest and heartiest of the human chattel. As science advanced, Eugenics became more popular as a tool to remove the part of the population that appeared dependent, say by mental or physical disability. The Nazis were always on top of all the trends and they released ads that told the people that killing the handicapped would save your tax dollars.

Fast forward to modern times and Eugenics is still at the front of peoples’ minds. The Human Genome Project is a multi-national, multi-corporation endeavor whos goal is to track and document the blueprint for humanity. Just recently, the Human Genome Project had announced that it has finally mapped all the DNA that comprise humanity.

Leave it up to white to take it to that next-next level and attempt to patent different DNA strands. This brings us back to Eugenics and our ability to make humans that possess certain characteristics. It’s been a minute since I peeped ALDOUS HUXLEY’s great novel ‘Brave New World’, but because of the Governator I realize I should go pick that tome up just so I can see what white has in store for me.

The U.K. Needs To Start Snitching…

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

badboys

How pervasive is the Hip-Hop ethos that reduced providing information to the police as something that should never be done? Things aren’t just in full swing here in America, but also in the United Kingdom. Word to ISRAEL RAMIREZ.

The linked story here deals with the tragedy that a mother faces when one of her children is incarcerated and another is taken from her by the angry streets. She makes a desperate plea on the television for someone in the community with information to provide it to the investigators. What this poor woman doesn’t realize is by doing that the person will be labeled forever as not being Hip-Hop. The kids in the U.K. have their priorities fixed.

The bigger story that this one above and this one here are pointing to is the rise in gun violence by young people. FREAKONOMICS taught me that the real reason that the U.S. experienced a drop in crime nationwide during the late 1990’s was due to a marked dip in the birthrate during the late 1970’s. Less kids born in 1980 means less 20yr olds in 2000. Increased access to contraceptives and even abortion meant that there were less children being born to parents who probably didn’t want them and subsequently would not be good care providers. Typically, those are the parents that most violent criminals come from.

It seems like a generalization, but that is essentially what statistics provide you with – general information. You can draw the conclusions where you see fit. The one thing is certain is that America has watched birthrates soar in the 1990’s (mostly the immigrant population) and we needed to build more schools to accomodate these kids. The next question becomes whether or not we need to build more prisons.

I SMELL… PUSSY!

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

pussyclot

I was listening to this funky sounding CD at my boy’s office and I had to ask the receptionist who was the artist. Turns out that it was the new CD from JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE a/k/a Vanilla Pussyclot.

I wish I could have the ten minutes back that I was feeling this bitch azz niggas music. I am still holding a grudge against this hump for throwing JANET JACKON under the bus along with the producers of that Super Bowl halftime show. All those fucks knew that the tittie was scary and that it was gonna be on front street. I’m especially not feeling this kid not because of how he played JANET, but his appropriation of soul music for his own benefit.

Now don’t get me wrong, JUSTIN doesn’t have to go to New Orleans and adopt a Black baby, but he can’t be using JANET or TIMBERLAND or whoever to establish ‘hood credibility and then hide behind the executives of Viacom when he should be standing like a man. As soon as the heat was on he shrunk back into his mouseketeer-child-of-privilege character. For that maneuver I will change the radio station whenever his music comes on.

Black people don’t need him anyway. We got ROBIN THICKE and JIMMY COZIER. For all I care JUSTIN can just go molest some white poon on TRL.
