‘YE WARHOL
I’m still hype (no WILLIAMS) for what will come from ‘808s & Heartbreak’.
I like that HYPE WILLIAMS can move out of that space he created with music videos featuring anonymous vixens by making videos featuring anonymous ladies in cartoon format.
This video is hype (yes, WILLIAMS).
Holler at your boy F.Luxe.
I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed–I, too, am America.

So thanks to my homey JAMES BLAGDEN I enjoyed an evening with Doctor K a/k/a DWIGHT GOODEN.
The trifecta of GOODEN, DARRYL STRAWBERRY and MIKE TYSON will forever be my boyhood superhero troika.
NIKE Sportswear has created a monthly series celebrating the New York athletes that have made the brand iconic. I taped most of the interview between the host CHRIS ISENBERG and the Doc (see below).
Man, I wish I was interviewing the Doc. CHRIS had a shitload of notes but he wasn’t able to catch a consistent flow. Doc is soft spoken and not blustery like I imagine STRAWBERRY to be. You have to tease info out of him. CHRIS didn’t hit this assignment out of the park possibly because he was too young to vividly remember the dominance of the young DWIGHT GOODEN.
Also I think CHRIS is a lifelong Yankees fan.
I could make the same complaint for the organizers because the commemorative poster they gave away wasn’t even the image of DWIGHT pitching the fireball. Anything other than this image is a fail.
At the end of the day this event was a home run because of the concept of pulling these iconic athletes down to the store to hang out and share a slice of their lives. NIKE stays winning.
And I did have a chance to get in a question during the Q & A part of the evening.
I asked DWIGHT which hairstyle best represented Doctor K? Was it the “wet look” care free curl from the 1986 World Champs? Was it the Cameo flat top from the early 90’s? Or was it the short-cropped Ceasar cut that he sported when he pitched in the Bronx for the Evil Empire.

My money was on the “wet look”. |
UnKut has a classic interview posted with the man who is arguably the greatest rapper of all time.
Enjoy.
