WINNERS NEVER QUIT…

Get with this hot shit party people, my homie from MSG is hooking me up with discounts seats to see the Knicks play. These aren’t the sold out games against the Cavaliers or the Heat, but the other home games that remain on the Knicks schedule.

  • Thursday March22 vs Trailblazers**
  • Monday March 26 vs Magic
  • Wednesday April 4 vs 76ers**
  • I placed the asterisk at the games that I am definitely going to. I chose them because I think the Knicks will demo the ‘Blazers and the Sixers. The Magic will be a tough draw since they are fighting for a playoff berth as well. The deal is that we get 50% off the $60 tickets and 50% off the $44 dollar tickets. As you can imagine I will be in the $44 seats, but 50% off means that I basically buy one and get the second one free. Don’t tell C.S. because she will make me upgrade. To sweeten the deal just a taste everyone that copps a ticket will get a Knicks Fan kit.

    knicks stuff

    All you have to do is go to this NBA.com webpage and enter the promo code: MARBURY

    Hit me up on the e-mail and let me know which game you are going to and how many Fan kits you need for your group. As a matter of fact, here’s how we do it…

    I will mail a Knicks Fan kit to the first person that can answer the following Knicks trivia questions…

    1) Which guard has scored the most points in Knicks history?
    2) Who has the most rebounds and blocked shots combined as a Knick?
    3) How much was Bernard King’s highest scoring game as a Knick?
    4) Name the year and playoff round that JOHN STARKS headbutted REGGIE MILLER?

    Answer those few questions correctly and I will bless you with some free shit from the Knicks.

    AMERICA’s NEXT TOP CRIMINAL NANNY

    I had been siting on these pics for several months in the hope of creating a spinoff show to ‘America’s Next Top Model’ and ‘America’s Most Wanted’. It was going to be a reality show where all of these ladies lived in a house together and killed each other until only one person was left. I even received some writing help from several of my blog author buddies, but alas the censors (my imagination) disallowed the drop. So these photos have languished in my secret galleries until now.

    Instead of killing off these ladies how about we let them live, and let them show our children how to live as well. It’s Women’s History Month and we should admire and respect the talents of all women. including the criminally insane. Imagine that some of these women were furloghed from their prison sentences to work at the local day care center (this happens in Black neighborhoods – everyday), which one of these women’s criminal talents do you think would serve our children best? Let’s take a look at the contestants…

    There weren’t too many upsets during the opening weekend of the NCAA basketball tournament, but watching Duke University lose in the first round is always a bonus. It gives you the hope that one day supremacy might be beaten, even if they have the refs and your star players paid off.


    A year ago to this day I wrote a cautionary blog post asking people to temper their support for the prostitute that was accusing the Duke lacrosse players of rape
    . No one rode out with me except VIK from Biochemical Slang. The rest of y’all are some effin’ cowards! VIK, you are having your celebrity status at DP Dot Com upgraded. Expect some free shit in the mail.

    It’s exciting to see the influence that RAFI and I are having on the internets as far more interracial Internets Celebrities are getting their swaggers in order. Turn the speakers down if your at the office. Video link via Nah’Right Lite.

    I’m totally in chill mode this weekend but I thought that I could at least put y’all onto something that I’m digging on…

    The Afflicted Yard is one of the sites that I imagined I could be when I started officially blogging. Although dude is a bigtime photographer it’s his ability to mesh his art with politics that I appreciated. T.A.Y. makes Black women look good, real good, and good looking Black women he makes them look stunning.

    He celebrates their youth and their determination. He highlights their swagger. Take a look at his photogallery for women. Don’t be embarrassed, it’s still Women’s History Month. Call it research.

  • 1.
  • 2.
  • 3.
  • On a separate note regarding photoblogs…
    DP Dot Com is on the esteemed blogroll over at the D-Nice Journal. It’s a big look for me because D-Nice was the original blog that I read before I had this website. From that site I found IAN from A Different Kitchen and then ByronCrawford dot com. After that the rest is history. Now that my blogging experience has come full circle maybe it’s time leave “the game” as the cRappers might say…

    Hell to the nawww.

    I still got too much trouble on my mind.

    SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

    The real blockbuster film that most internets geeks are waiting for this year will be ‘Transformers’. This is the joint that will have a lot of grown azz men leaving their parents basement’s and getting dresed up as their favorite characters. I might dress up too. Just not like that.

    Thankfully, NIKE has already taken the lead to creating some items that us cool nerds can wear in order to represent for the tech geek tribe. Inspired by one of the lead characters from the original cartoon they have created a sick pair of kicks that are on my short list of collectibles.

    The Optimus Prime Air Trainer III’s are looking like some fire azz joints to me. Premium leathers and high tech materials like 3M’s scotchlite reflective fabric are gonna make these kicks the futuristic jumpoffs. Remember when you were a kid and you had those L.A. Gear joints that lit up? I never had those…

    The clips from the movie aren’t totally church yet, but can you imagine anything coming from the Spielberg camp that was half assed in the end? Hell to the no.
