MARVEL COMICS STAYS WINNING…
Friday, January 2nd, 2009Predictions For 2029…
Friday, January 2nd, 2009
I think I will zag while most people are zigging. I will still Zig-Zag in 2009, actually, I am doing more bonging and bowling. I never really zagged at all. Especially since the Gonzaga basketball team is affectionately nicknamed the ‘Zags in the mainstream sports media. White men can’t jump. My point is that I like to do shit different not just to do shit different but to do shit on a more futuristic level.
How many nickel and dime fools are talking about 2008 like that shit was all that? Nothing happened in 2008 that is gonna change shit in 2009, but in 2016 we will have the first woman president of the United States of America and that will bring all kinds of crazy shit into our lives. We won’t even hardly be listening to rap music by then. The kids will be listening to this crazy melding of country music, salsa and R-n-B that was created by WyClef, T-Pain and Taylor Swift during a threesome they had in Mexico.
If you hate auto-tune you might should kill yourself today. The hottest christmas present in 2010 was this cellphone that converts all voices into that robotix sound you hear next to the MySpace captchas. That shit is fresh homeys. The best part is that all the people with emphysema that have had their tracheas removed don’t feel so fucked the fuck up anymore when they speak in public.
In 2029 some of us celebrate the 20th anniversary of the demise of MTV. It was a tough pill for MTV to swallow in 2009 that upon turning 28yrs old they were irrelevant and laughed at for their vain attempts to control the younger and stronger YouTube and its cousins like MetaCafe, Kyte and Vimeo. That and the legions of disgruntled former Viacom employees who help found the indie artist music network called fMtv (I pray one of my friends copyrights this).
Thankfully there are still some things that harken back to the simpler years like 2008…

Queen Latifah had her jewels boosted during her holiday away in Tobago. Being that Tobago has only five people living on the island I think her shit will be returned the second it gets brought into the Pidgeon Peak pawn shop.
What I want to point your attention to is how Latifah is described in the article. She is now an R-n-B singer as well as actress. Latifah makes one miserable lounge singer album and another compilation of Lite FM tunes and now she is an R-n-B singer. I ain’t even mad at’cha Dana, but I also wonder what DMX would have to do to be considered a gospel artist?
Latifah was rumored to be considering marriage with her longtime companion (prior to California’s Prop 8 adoption) she was also rumored to be working on a new rap album featuring production by Dr. Dre, along with Missy Elliot. The album is tentatively titled ‘The L Word’. I wish I was making this shit up.

You big dummy!
There is something that I find humorous about the visceral nature of humanity. We give far too much credit to our eyesight for our peace of mind. Seeing is believing, or so they say. Well whatever happened to faith? And our guts? People don’t trust their intestines for anything anymore, but I bet you that a scientist would pull out your innards and tell your life story as if they were reading a papyrus scroll. This is because we lack soul collectively. Stop believing what your eyes are telling your brain.
A few days ago I posted a drop here and at the X spot to talk about the mainstream media’s account on the mortality of the Black male. Now for those of us that are, ummm, Black males, this isn’t any particular news that we haven’t likely experienced in several forms. Even the fact that it appears to have worsened isn’t surprising to us. Sad to say. In the wake of this newsstory I was inspired to create a graph which described the relationship of Black male mortality to the commerce of music that highlights Black male mortality.
The internets went nuts thanks to ProperTalks, but the only thing people focused on was the graph I created. No one wants to deal with the story on how we are all complicit actors in the drama of supremacy. People want to quibble about a gotdamn graph that doesn’t mean shit. This is because people lack soul. Even Black folks. I know that Black folks like to think they inherently have a conscience but CLARENCE THOMAS, CONDOLEEZA RICE and ROBERT JOHNSON are all proof positive that having a soul is nothing that is mutually racially exclusive.
The truth, without the use of a graph or even an article in the supremacist apologist NYTimes is that the Black male is the most marginalized and disenfranchised person on the planet. This maintains the hegemony of supremacy and assists the design of capitalism. This is why we can afford to buy t-shirts at Wal-Mart for $2 and why this country is building prisons faster than they are building schools. 1 out of every 100 Americans is in prison right now.
Do you need a graph for that?

POLITRICKS 2008: Stimulus Status…
Thursday, January 1st, 2009
I hope the president-elect doesn’t expect me to sell his t-shirts as part of my stimulus package. I’ve been having enough trouble as it is selling my own shirts. I don’t want no stimulus check anyhoo. I want that big gwap that comes from one of those bailout packages. Those are the joint. That is how I finally come up on my yacht and my private plane when I get my hands on one of those Congressional bailout packages (no LARRY CRAIG’s pkg).
What would you do with the money if you came up on one of those billion dollar bailout programs? Nothing too crazy like one of those Wall Street banker bailouts. I’m thinking of something more manageable like the packages that the auto manufacturers and the airlines will get. I can get with a nice cool hundred billion.
I wouldn’t even use that cake to copp the Polo mansion.
Until I get my stim check though I’ma need some of y’all to help the kid get through this cold ass winter.
