SHOWBEE TO THE BIG CITY…

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

bryant

The NBA and all the general managers would NEVER let ISAIAH THOMAS pull off the trades for KOBE BRYANT and KEVIN GARNETT even though that is what the NBA needs right now. KOBE is the ShowBee, and with GARNETT on the blocks, crazy as I sound, the Knicks might just put in some work deep into the season. Plus the Association might actually be worth watching again.

The question becomes why would I want someone as selfish and egotistical as KOBE on my Knicks team. It’s obvious that ShowBee will be one of those athletes that talks in the third person in the near future. “What KOBE wants, KOBE gets.” The answer is simply because ShowBee is that good. Starbury is also selfish and ego driven, but he never dropped 81 evar, including the times when he was a Lincoln High School Railsplitter. I might even take ShowBee over LeBreezy. On second thought…

ShowBee does have better kicks than LeBRON though and that is what is probably altering my decision. KOBE in New York City means I will have to copp the laser etched joints in metropolitan blue. One word – Fire.

A LETTER FROM THE MANAGEMENT

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

pwnd

Check yo’self before you wreck yo’self…

Are you folks preparing for halftime? The second quarter will over shortly. Where are you at with your plans? Are you in the lead, or are you playing from behind? I was in the lead for most of the second quarter but a few turnovers cost us our lead. We’re a better team than we’ve shown so far, but the second half is the time to put up or shut the fuck up. Let’s clear up some personal business so that we can get ourselves lined up for the third quarter…

I have to make a formal apology to a fellow blogger that I made a disparaging remark about at another website. Jay Smooth, I apologize to you brother. My remark was silly and hateful considering the fact that I don’t know you at all. I just assumed by the fact that my site was not listed on your blogroll you were part of the hate filled handshakes that I encounter on the internets. Maybe your site’s template only allows for a certain number of links in the sidebar. Who knows? I certainly don’t. And I shouldn’t have been so hurtful to anyone particularly one of the Hip-Hop blogging community’s pioneers. Jay Smooth’s website Hip Hop Music Dot Com is one of the websites that has the word Hip Hop in the site name in case you happen to be Googling the word Hip-Hop. That’s a pretty powerful boulder to hold on your shoulder. If you know what I mean. Who has time to add my site to their blogroll anyhoo? Especially when no ones reads this shit in the first place.

So again Jay Smooth, I sincerely apologize to you if you still feel a kind of way.

FLAWLESS HUSTLE’s FATHER’s DAY
You already know that GABEROCKKA is my peeps. Me and dude linked a madd long time ago over some vintage Nautica caps that I was selling on eBay. GABE is mos def one of those Steep Tech North Face heads from back in the mid 1990’s. These were the younger cats that came to Tents and Trails and dropped hundreds on the ill Gore Tex mountaineering coats. GABE stays styling on fools and bagging up fly broads. GABE just added a baby boy to his playboy repertoire…

ADRIAN RAYMOND – b.June 13th, 2007

True story is that me and GABE were in the city getting drunk somewhere and I had to explain to GABE what GOD was. Everything I said is contained right there in the picture of his son. Congrats and blessings G. I’m already looking for a pair of baby Dunks.

A Pre-Season Mid-Summer Blues…

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

charlie ward

The New York Knickerbockers are STILL paying this man…

For me, the World Series, Super Bowl and the NBA Finals are emotionally like funerals. It’s like someone in my family is passing away. The Finals are so… Final. There’s nothing afterwards that is intriguing about basketball except possibly the NBA draft and the Knicks haven’t had a lottery pick in over two decades (and lately they haven’t been too good either). I have to wait until the end of August for the momentum to build for my favorite baseball teams. Only to be left alone again before Halloween. And of course, there is the Super Bowl. The single most grandest event in the sporting world. In essence, it’s the most expensive, lavish funeral your eyes will see.

The world becomes a virtual wasteland for several months after the Super Bowl as I await the next series of playoffs and up and coming crunch time performers. So now in the downtime between All-Star hoopla and BARRY BONDS breaking the Hammer’s home run record I will reminisce on one of the greatest college programs in the history of amatuer athletics. In a small window of time, Florida State University has produced some of sports most endearing character athletes. FSU also has a knack for developing multi-sport athletes. Think of athletes like DEION SANDERS who played two sports well enough to not be considered a gimmick. Cut from the same cloth as SANDERS is the super prep phenom D’VONTREY RICHARDSON.

D RICH will be the Seminoles quarterback of the future as well as a star on the diamond. Homey has nearly a three foot vertical jump from standstill and his arm is a fucking cannon. He reminds me of CHARLIE WARD, but with more natural talent. CHARLIE WARD was good enough to win a Heisman trophy and get the ‘Noles their first National Championship though. I feel like giving away some free DP Dot Com shit in honor of the Florida Seminoles, the end of basketball season and the beginning of NFL training camps. Get in where you fit in.

  • Name the old school Super Bowl MVP Seminole wide receiver who had a penchant for smoking two packs of cigs a day but still had enough game to get into the Hall of Fame.

  • Name CHARLIE WARD’s backcourt mate at FSU. And don’t be giving me none of that BOBBY SURA bullshit.

    THE HIP-HOP VOTE IS VALUELESS…

    Monday, June 18th, 2007

    soulman

    It was only four years ago that some marketing genius created the most used useless political slogan evar. “Vote Or Die!” was plastered onto billboards, streetlamp signs and busty chanteuse’s t-shirts in an effort to sell more t-shirts I presume. It’s not just the fact that the slogan “Vote or Die!” has no common sense attached to it, but isn’t the act of killing yourself counterintuitive to the political process? Maybe I don’t know the full backstory and maybe someone had already copywritten “Vote To Live!”, but what I do know is that propaganda is that last way to attract young people into the arena of political thought.

    Four years ago when Hip-Hop music was a stronger cultural force across mainstream America it was believed that the generation that used the artistic movement of Hip-Hop to frame their lives would be a proactive (damn you DIDDY) and progressive force. It turns out that the Hip-Hop generation for all of it’s early bluster about partying for the right to fight are only interested in partying primarily. And fighting secondarily. Rights? Not so much. This may be the most politically impotent generation evar although the money and capital that they transfer is enormous.

    Why haven’t BARACK OBAAMA or HILARY CLINTON made overtures to target this demographic? Because they know that when the time comes for people to come to the polling stations all the people under thirty-five will be doing something else. Probably working at their jobs in the service industry without union representation or retirement options. Meanwhile, these same Senators vying for the presidency have been tacitly dismantling the country’s social security system. This is all going down while we snap our fingers and ‘walk it out’ to rap music’s care free choruses. It’s no longer a matter of who will ring the alarm. The real question is who will even care?

    I see the election season in 2007 as a training ground for the 2008 campaigns. There are surely councilpersons and state assembly seats up for grabs this year. All of our responsibilities are simple and clear. Uncover the candidates early in the process before they place their placards on lampposts. The first thing we need is to find out who believes in education over prison, the environment over oil, and peace over war. In this way we can send a message to the larger public that we have not forsaken our obligations as citizens, nor have we comprimised our humanity. If we can’t even muster this effort we might as well go back to the “Vote Or Die!” proposition and just kill ourselves.
