I haven’t been motivated to do the necessary work on the cRap Music Fantasy League. It all seems so pointless now. I need a muse, or a really nice paycheck. I remember when I thought rap music would last forever. Or at least until the year 2000.

I had no idea that the Grammys were being broadcast on Sunday night. I prah’lee would have watched the show. Maybe…
Incidentally I found myself re-watching ‘Purple Rain’ for about the fifty-eleventh time. ‘P.R.’ is a damn good movie. It could easily be on the top five lists for musical movies and Blaxploitation films and it is certainly up there for trendsetting 1980’s cinema.
A few years ago I went to the Brooklyn Academy of Music for a concert featuring SHARON JONES and the Dap Kings opening for MORRIS DAY and the Time with a screening of the director’s cut of ‘Purple Rain’ to follow the concert. The only thing that would have made the evening better would have been a cameo from his purple majesty. As it was there was a drunken purple thug in the back of the theatre cursing everyone out that wasn’t singing along.
So after I watched the film I peeped the companion DVD which had the production backstory of the film along with some concert footage. This was during the time when Prince was smashing out SHEILA E. How sick was Prince that he could make anything hot? He was a beast in the 1980’s. No one was writing better music than he was and certainly no one was performing better on stage[ll]. I haven’t caught a Prince concert yet so that is something for me to put on my list.
Speaking of concerts… Who is down to see the Roots and friends at the Apollo Theatre? I bought four(4) tickets for the show on Friday, February 22nd @ 7:30pm. 40 Diesel is gonna eff with it. Who else is down? Oh yeah, tickets are fifty cent and I’m not talking about the rapper.
There is less than two weeks left before the NBA trading deadline expires so that basically means there are two weeks until the Knicks season becomes virtually worthless. Until February 22nd I will live the dream that somehow ISAIAH can trade away the entire roster for KOBE BRYANT, TIM DUNCAN, LeBRON JAMES, CHRIS PAUL and CARMELO ANTHONY.
You know who definitely needs to get traded? The Nets point guard JASON KIDD. His homey GARY PAYTON finally won a title with Miami a few years ago. Now its time for J KIDD to have another shot at a ring. I fucks with KIDD (no AMAECHE) because sonn gets triple doubles like someone who is a foot taller. Withou a credible jumpshot JASON KIDD has been arguably the best point guard in the NBA for his entire career.
This has been a season of movement and realignment in the Association. SHAQ is in Phoenix, GASOL, formerly of the Grizzlies is in Los Angeles, and KEVIN GARNETT has sparked Boston to the league’s best record when he is on the court. So the question becomes this… Where should J KIDD be traded in order to have the best chance at winning a title? In my mind there are two prime locations in each conference.
| Boston Celtics Imagine adding KIDD’s on-court awareness and Finals experience to the talents of KEVIN GARNETT, RAY ALLEN and PAUL PIERCE? That would make the Boston Celtics the odds on favorite for the ‘chip. Plus, you know Beantown has an affinity for lite-skinded, ball hawking point guards. Word to DENNIS JOHNSON R.I.P. |

Los Angeles Lakers The Lakers might still need one more piece even with JASON KIDD although they would become more exciting than the Suns. I don’t feel like any other Western conference teams become as measurably better with KIDD as the Lakers do. The Mavericks need to learn how to play defense from the position that NOWITZKI plays. That ain’t happening anytine soon. |
The Kaiju Big Battel was church as always. As a matter of fact I think they are getting better with their presentation. About two thousand people packed themselves inside of Webster Hall for the performance with many kids going all in with their own versions of Kaiju helmets.
Chocolate Snowflake and I found ourselves a sweet spot on a speaker near the stage. I snuck in a bottle of Belevedere and we enjoyed Belvy x Red Bull cocktails all night.
The bouts were all action-packed and there were some new Kaiju characters introduced to us plus my old favorites like Dr. Cube’s minion Grunyon. Here are some of the names of the Kaiju heroes…
In the championship match Grunyon faced off against Kaiju champion Call Me Kevin. Grunyon beat down Call Me Kevin but lost the match on a technicality. I have a gang of pixs of the Kaiju Big Battel in the Blu Cheez photo gallery. Check ’em out when you get the chance. Everything is safe for work.
If you have the opportunity to put a Chocolate Snowflake in your life I suggest that you do so. She is the ultimate internets celebrity nerdcore arm candy and she will make your life that much sweeter because she is chocolate after all.
C.S. knows that whenever we are in the Union Square district that I have to walk through Forbidden Planet. I peruse the latest action figures and thumb through a few graphic novels and then we continue on our business. What is totally church now is that C.S. will now walk through F.P. even when I am not with her and she will see what is new on the scene. She just sent me an SMS that she bought us two(2) tickets to see the KAIJU BIG BATTEL at Webster Hall.
Kaiju Big Battel: New York Blackout
*Marv Albert voice*
KAIJU BIG BATTEL is only like the illest sporting event evar in the history of the Earth. Okay, maybe the dinosaurs had a more better sporting event, but that would be pre-historic so therefore it becomes null and void since it isn’t on video. Imagine if you will, Godzilla fighting Mothra in a wrestling ring. Exactly.
I haven’t seen the KBB since August 2006 and they are always inserting new characters into their cosmology. It’s an uproarious event in itself and I hope that the organizers have tightened up some of the details that will take this event to outerspace where it belongs. I wonder who the musical guest would be. I will lose my shit if they have MF Doom as King Geedorah. This looks like the type of event where I will have to pass out some choice DP Dot Com goodies.
Holla at your boy in the Godzilla costume.
