Dude, What The Eff Is A Papaya Dog?!?

Monday, September 17th, 2007

papaya

Papaya Dog is the universal fast food joint for everyone leaving a bar or club in the Greenwich Village neighborhood. It’s democracy in its greatest and lowest forms all wrapped up in a gelatin casing and served with mustard, ketchup, onions or ‘kraut at no additional cost.

I can’t believe you came here because you wanted to eat a hot dog. Something has gone terribly wrong in your life and here you find yourself sampling the chicken tenders, or the chili cheeseburgers, or heaven forbid, the chili cheese hot dog. You must have the intestinal tract of a coal furnace. There’s no way that human beings were created to digest the food served here, and that is why I always find the illest part of humanity at the counter.

So here’s the million dollar question… What the eff is inside a hot dog and why do they taste so damn good? The world may never know.

Drunk & Hot Girls @ GABEROCKKA’s B-Day Party…

I gave GABE this jacket for his birthday. Nike founder PHIL KNIGHT allegedly originally named his company after Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. Damn, what kind of world was the early seventies really like if Pabst was actually considered a good beer? Blue Ribbon Sports is Nike’s O.G. moniker. This jacket also matches up nice with the Air Max 95 3M Croc joints.

Peace out to my homey KING TEE and his beatbox JESSICA, along with the party grrls Z and NICOLE. They all came through the screening of ‘Bodega’ on the rooftop of the H.Q. for Rooftop Films. Shit was bricker than a muv up in that muv too.

After the screening we blasted into what is called Sunset Slope in Brooklyn for GABEROCKKA’s 28th birthday party. Good thing I brought some chicks for us to look at because otherwise we all would have had to gang up on GABE’s smashbox. I brought along some extra ladies to kick it with so the fellas could all focus on getting GABE as effed up as possible. By the end of the night everyone was twisted up lovely. Nah’Mean? Shouts to EON for bringing that.

Shouts to MOS DEF for bringing it on this retarded track.

NYC FLASHING LIGHTS WEEKEND RECAP…

Sunday, September 16th, 2007

flashing lights

Let the video posted above be a cautionary tale to you as I recount the last 36 hours in detail…

Where do I begin? First off… iLose. I left my wallet on a commuter train. Sucks to be me right now. I can only imagine how all my legitimate identification is being misappropriated.

When I got to the event on Friday evening there was some fugazi character at the door hating on the iNTERNETS CELEBRITIES so we didn’t get inside. How ironic would it have been for me to be swilling free booze on Puma x Yo! MTV RAPS tab after I told them to kiss my ass? Instead the i.C. sidewalk pimped with all the folks stranded outside until we were the only ones left that didn’t get in.

Then the i.C.’s followed the flashing lights to the ‘Feast of San Gennaro’. I think San Gennaro is the patron saint of the zeppole truck. What is banana head about NYC is that every corner you turn on there is something else provacative and exciting going on.

The following videos are dark not because of he content, but because I don’t know how to manage the CyberShot camera. Let’s look at how too many nights in New York City end up… With someone laid the fuck out on the sidewalk.

I fell through an old NYC watering hole hoping to make amends for my poor showing at the Puma sneakers event. Down The Hatch was the Friday after work popoff for a year or two, but not so much anymore. Drunk fratboys have taken over the pool table and the bartenders refused to serve me by literally ignoring me at the counter. WTF is this about?

This is a brand new day in NYC when I’m treated like the shit beneath someone’s shoe, but there it was for me to digest. I left the bar without exchanging any words with any of the bartenders. I didn’t need another drink anyhoo. My cup already runneth over at GABEROCKKA’s birthday party (more on that later).

I continued to walk the streets and resumed my sidewalk pimping. Not sure what I would find when I turned the next corner and there was a gang of drunk Staten Islanders at the corner of Sixth and West 4th. Not too much sidewalk pimping here.

And there’s some more of that nonsense…

When your night ends with you on the courtesy couch of an FDNY ambulance you did not finish off Hip-Hop. You overdosed somewhere along the line. I think I have to rewind my story so that you can see how I came to stumble around Metropolis at four in the morning…

SOUL MUSIC DANCE CLASSIC DNA…

Sunday, September 16th, 2007

Shouts to the DP Dot Commenter ALEX who put us up on the song that Daft Punk sampled/covered/stole to frame their dance classic ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger’. Turns out the song ‘Cola Bottle Baby’ by 70’s funkateer EDWIN BIRDSONG is a dance classic in it’s own right so the Daft Punk kids couldn’t miss. I wonder if they had any problems clearing the rights to basically steal someone’s song outright or did they get taxed like rappers do when they pay for samples?

If KanYE’s hit song ‘Stronger’ brings a check to BIRDSONG then I suppose everything is everything in the game.

KANYE WEST – ‘Stronger’


DAFT PUNK – ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger’


EDWIN BIRDSONG – ‘Cola Bottle Baby’

Another DP Dot Com shout goes out to DJ SPINNA for providing us with the EDWIN BIRDSONG track so we could review it at the site. SPINNA also hit us off with some STEVIE WONDER on the talkbox via the Music Of My Mind album. You already know that I fucks with SPINNA parties like the 80’s Flavors and the Soul Slam series. SPINNA and KeiStar Productions also produce the annual internationally famous STEVIE WONDER Birthday tribute party.

STEVIE WONDER – ‘Love Having You Around’

BONUS BEATS * BONUS BEATS * BONUS BEATS

SPINNA also hit us off with another STEVIE joint in honor of the DP Dot Com Superheroine Series. So just ride out my peoples, I will get up with y’all later.

Los Angeles Stand The Eff Up! My folks, DJ SPINNA, BOBBITO GARCIA aka DJ CUCUMBER SLICE and KeiStar Productions will be at the Crash Mansion on September 29th with their WONDER-FULL party. The musical genius of STEVIE WONDER all night long in L.A.
