Police Brutality In Black & White…

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

A nice story from Wyoming is about the old codger pictured above who had his ass tasered by the county mounties during the tractor pull at the state fair.

White is so unaccustomed to police brutality that they were ready to riot at their apparent niggerization.

Imagine if the state troopers had thrown fifty bullets at this dude for ramming his tractor into their cruiser?

Since he is a senior citizen maybe the cops could have simply put two shotgun shells on his ass like they did to ELEANOR BUMPURS instead of just an electric shock?

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

Rap music fans have been treated to some rare air over the last few weeks. I’ve listened to the latest Raekwon the Chef and Jay-Z albums. I also sat in a session for the debut Kid Cudi CD. All of this music will provide something unique for their fans and people that enjoy good music. What came to my mind was that I could relate these albums to something else I am extremely fond of – Sneakers. Each of these albums reminds me a respective pair of footwear.

The Air Jordan XI pictured above is considered to be one of the GOAT’s GOAT sneakers. The details and the materials used were revolutionary and trendsetting. The Air Jordan XI’s were released in October 1995, a few months after the release of the seminal rap album Only Built For Cuban Linx. Both the Air Jordan XI’s and the album OB4Cl have stood the test of time to become regarded as classics in the own right. So what footwear would I use to describe these new albums being released?

spizzike

Spiz’Zike boot – Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2
The OB4CL2 sequel makes me think of the new Spiz’Zike boots. These shoes are going to knock the Timberlands and even the ACG boots off the block. The Spiz’Zike contains all of the dopest elements of previous Air Jordans but it is revisioned and updated for 2009 and beyond. OB4CL2 is classic Wu-Tang material that describes the highs and lows of street life. The wins and the losses. The joy and the pain. Kiss the ring, or the 6 rings.

yeezy

Air Yeezy (tan colorway) – Man On The Moon: The End Of Day
If I could have copped one colorway of the Air Yeezy shoes it would have been the tan version. This pair had the best leather of them all and really showed off the details of this unique shoe. Kid Cudi helped KanYe West craft a classic album with 808’s & Heartbreak, but it isn’t an album that many boom bap rap fans can reach in their mental wheelhouse. It is a futuristic album that Cudi has shaped with his project. Many of the ideas he brought to the 808’s project have been placed on his debut. The compositions are orchestral and the strings are highlighted nicely. The shoestrings on the Yeezy’s have a sick lacelock as well.

roc boot

Roc-A-Wear boot? – Blueprint 3
The Roc-A-Wear boots look like a wild mashup of Timberlands and Creative Recreations with a faux fur lining to add that extra level of implied luxury. Maybe using the Timbaland influence wasn’t the best idea for these shoes. Did I just say Timbaland? Oops. Freudian slip. I’m not sure if these are sneakers, boots, sandals or slippers. I don’t even think renowned internets celebrity and blogging tastemaker Combat Jack would still wear these. I’m sure these Roc-A-Wear joints will be popular though. How can they not be? It’s the Roc bitch!

Shallah Raekwon – ‘Sneakers’

THICK CHICKS FTW!

bbbw

I was with Chocolate Snowflake just the other day in Lane Bryant when I noticed that all of the mannequins there were hussy big girls.

You know those chicks that are 170-200lbs and they stomp around in stilettos with their boobage about to spill forth with areola peeping outdoors? I’m talking about those broads that are cute in the face and a little thick in the waist. Well, the mannequins in Lane Bryant have no faces per se, but if they did you know they would use their mouth to suck their teeth after you said “Good day”. Yes, them bitches (and I say bitch with only the fondest of affectations).

Don’t let me find out I need to go molest me some Lane Bryant mannequins? Not that molesting C.S. isn’t fun too, but she LETS me do that. I want that barely legal fingerbang that can only be had from a plaster plaything standing in the store window on Fulton Street. Looks like I’m not alone either. Lots of brothers are into the thickness. I just hope these fools leave my Lane Bryant big girl hussy mannequins alone.

Who thought that Kryptonite fuxed Superman up?

I did too, but it looks like kryptonite can help revitalize cities if only to teach kids how to use their green thumb.

Think of how far down the food chain we really are if we are still eating shit from White Castle.
