Let’s be perfectly honest. I need another pair of sneakers like I need a whole in my head. But with the grand opening gala of the new NIKE iD Design Studio inside the NIKETOWN store on 57th Street this Saturday I might just have to celebrate this shit the only way I know how. Please believe the joint is official when your mans-n-them COMBAT JACK is in the building. I’m sure there will be other sneaker fiend celebs that fall through as well. It’s a celebration bitches!

So now you ask me what the big effing deal is about since you can simply individually design and personalize your shoes at NIKEiD.com, and I tell you that the experience is what makes the difference. The NIKEiD Design Studio offers materials and styles that aren’t available online. By installing the design studio inside of their centralized retail outlet they have now democratized the ultimate form of sneaker customization. Anyone can literally walk in off the street and make an appointment to get their kick game right that very same day.

You hear that BYRON CRAWFORD? Even you can become fresh to def. Well, prah’lee not, but if you wanted to be fresh, living in the city of Chingy and Nelson is no longer holding you down.

To sweeten the event, as if, NIKE is also running a sexy little promo over at their FaceBook page.

If you are coming to the event on Saturday make sure to holler at a sneaker fiend when you see him in the streets. I will be checking for all my peoples still living the lifestyle. Nah’mean!?!

POLITRICKS 2008: Septugenarian Stick-Up Kids

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

old mugs

I’m thinking about tagging my political news on this website “Laugh Now, Cry Later”. That’s the truth about our political system and the more I learn the more I want to kill myself to find out what awaits me on the other side. Shit over here is so fucked the fuck up and the people with the means to make it less so don’t have the will or the commitment to reverse the direction.

I’m sure that most of you are aware of the fact that the U.S. resides in a woeful deficit that has compromised the value of our money so much that Canadian dollars are now worth more. All hell will break lose when the peso supplants the dollar. I imagine that we will be waist deep in the throes of an all out racial war by that time in order to keep our minds pre-occupied from the fact that we were bought and sold a generation ago. All this doom and gloom might be overstated if I couldn’t see the handwriting on the wall.

First Baby Boomer Applies For Social Security

Baby Boomers are the children of America’s so-called ‘Greatest Generation’. Their parents weathered the Great Depression of the 1930’s and also fought in the second World War. The Baby Boomers were America’s largest growth in population and the source of wealth for this country through their contributions in labor and resources, particularly their contribution to our tax base and our overwhelming debt ratio. Unlike their Depression era parents, Baby Boomers were actually rampant consumers. This same out of control consumption has been a trademark our Baby Boomer controlled government.

For the last forty years our government has spent more money than it has collected. The majority of these funds have been spent on militaristic projects like the Vietnam War, the arms race with Russia, the space program and the trillions of dollars given away as corporate welfare. In the meanwhile our education system has been dismantled and the social programs that provided vocational skillsets to our citizens have been dissolved to non-existence. We have been creating a permanent under-educated underclass. The next step will be a return to an economic feudal system. Start collecting Euros and don’t be surprised when you hear about grandparents doing stick ups and bank jobs in order to pay for their prescriptions.

I’m not crying a tear because our social security money has been spent on spy satellites and private security companies that kill Iraqis. Since I’m Black, I wasn’t going to live long enough to collect any benefits anyhoo.

BTW internets… EUGENE SAENGER is dead.

saenger

SAENGER’s resume totally shits on Dr. JACK KERVORKIAN for his overall body count. The difference between the two was that SAENGER had a license to kill from the Pentagon. He was a radiology expert who tested the effects of intense dosages of radiation on human patients. Basically any poor Black that came into Cincinnati’s General Hospital between 1960 and 1971 was getting zapped by SAENGER until his assed was fried, died and laid to the side.

SAENGER handled his biz in the same spirit as the Tuskeegee Experiment from the 1950’s. The patients were never told that they were being killed slowly because some were being killed immediately. His actions in regards to debriefing patients and using the public hospital as the base for a highly classified military experiment brings not simply questions about this man’s ethics, but also his very morality. It looks like the Hippocratic Oath becomes hypocritical when in the hands of racists.

Good night good doctor, and good riddance.

DP Dot Com Super Heroine Series: SCARLET WITCH

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

sw

Scarlet Witch was another sexy redhead with a banging body and a shitload of powers that I wanted to snuggle up with. But that was before she went all crazy and shit.

She was a mutant who could create these blasts from her hands. The Scarlet Witch came into the game as part of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, along with her father Magneto, and her twin brother Quicksilver. Just like Aurora’s twin brother Northstar, Qucksilver could run real fast. But instead of going ghey like Northstar did, Quicksilver went grey.

Scarlet Witch was one half of an inter-racial-humanoid relationship. Her husband was the android called the Vision. As far as I’m concerned dude had to be a Black man-droid. First of all, Quicksilver, the Scarlet Witch’s brother hated on dude for no apparent reason and said that he wasn’t good enough for his sister. Whatever the fuck that means since he and his sister both started their careers in comicdom as super-villains.

Secondly, the Vision’s biggest power was making his shit turn invisible when he hung out with all the other Avengers. That is an inherent superpower for all of us Black people when we are alone in a crowd of white. We become invisible and then listen to the white talk around us and about us as if we aren’t even there.

Like most marriages, the Scarlet Witch and her Black mandroid husband were ill-fated inside of the Marvel Universe once they moved out to the west coast.

Vision ended up losing his memory chip and the Scarlet Witch lost all of her marbles. It was like Vision went Hollywood and didn’t recognize her anymore. She hooked back up with Magneto once she learned that homeboy was actually her and Quicksilver’s daddy and she flipped on the rest of the Avengers since they were player haters anyhoo.

cRap Music Fantasy League Q4 Update Wk.2

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

drewreports.com

weezy + pajama pants + syrup = sooooo gangsta

Yo! Did you see them guns your boy T.I. was gonna bring to the B.E.T. awards?!?

WTF!?!

Someone was definitely getting merc’ked up that piece, or in the very least they would be putting a pound of shit in their drawls. I want to know where someone gets those kind of guns anyway? That nigga got some BlackWater USA connection. Here’s the good news for T.I., sort of, or at least for the label owners that have dude on their roster. T.I.’s appearance at the B.E.T. 2007 Hip-Hop awards would only have netted him 100 points. His arrest for Federal firearms possession is worth 300 points.

Mo’ money, mo’ money!

Last week was a pretty busy week in general for the cMFL with Lil’ Wang a/k/a the pajama pants boy getting pinched in Boise, Idaho [ll], and Fisty Scent having a day named after him Connecticut. Here is a look at the leader board for the quarter. There’s still a whole lot of cRap Music Fantsy League to be played so son’t get mad if your label isn’t at the top yet.

DP Dot Com Football Pool Wk. 6 Recap…

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

favre

I’m feeling BRETT FAVRE this season [ll]. Actually, RYAN GRANT, a running back with the Pack is my cousin so if Green Bay does it big this season I will be happier than a rasta with a bag of weed and a plate of oxtails.

The dominant teams are once again New England and Indianapolis, but don’t sleep on Pittsburgh. They are quietly a monster squad on the low [ll]. I got love for the Steelers too ever since I hung out with CARSON DALY, JEROME BETTIS, JAMES FARRIOR and BEN ROETHLISBERGER a tthis local pub in Clinton Hill called Sputnik. Let’s talk about this websites’ football pool before I have to use another [ll].

Here’s how ill the football pool can get at DP Dot Com… The current overall leader hasn’t even been the weekly winner yet. Furiou$tylez Is Your Daddy is averaging 7.9 correct picks a week and this is enough to be in front of the pack. DubbleUp and Belize are hot on his heels though. I’m 17 points off the lead as is most of the rest of the pool. Starting this weekend shit gets really real sonn.

A couple of people have discussed the use of the spread in the DP Dot Com Football Pool. The spread keeps shit funky. There is a no bitching rule in football which means that if you can’t figure out how the spread works you won’t be winning a free pair of sneakers from the DP Dot Com checking account. Don’t be a bitch, figure out how the spread works.

Here’s the leader board for the DP Dot Com Football Pool…
