The New-Old Butch Cassidy And Sundance Kid…

sherlock holmes

I don’t know why more people aren’t talking about the Sherlock Holmes flick? Director GUY RITCHIE merc’ks this joint. Robert Downey Jr. continues his white hot streak. Jude Law is on some high level co-star shit. The movie just deserves a lot more acclaim.

Ritchie has made some indie cult classic shit with a relative ‘zero’ budget in Hollywood terms so the jury was undecided on whether or not he could craft a flick with the mass appeal. I think this is his best film to date. All the elements that have made Ritchie’s films so damn entertaining are contained in Sherlock Holmes.

Wordplay. Ritchie’s writers are surgical with the pen when it comes to the details. Downey Jr. and Law’s rapport is classic English gentlemen wry wit. I’m not talking about some staid plaid and tweed tee-totaling bullshit either. These two characters go inside and outside of the law to get it done. The action sequences have Ritchie’s trademark slow-stop-motion close up karate chop leg breaking efficiency. I wish Ritchie were directing the action sequences for the new Batman films because his style is that good.

Fux the hyperbole! Go see Sherlock Holmes and if you tell me that shit ain’t tha’ sheet I will refund your ticket.

invasion

Internets, I know I am getting old when I don’t take some random subway skank to the shortstay to gorilla dagger her drawls and when I wake up in the morning with an electric company buzz in my lower back.

The OnSmash Invasion rap showcase was official tissue. Styles P, Sheek, ‘Kiss. Skyzoo. Scram Jones. Emilio Rojas. Stalley. With cameos from Cons Tudda and Pharoah Monch. The stage belonged to your boy Sean Price tho’. He tore that shit down reederkulous. Peace to JaiSlayer and his big bro JaySkillz for repping for me. Hail Meg to RLtron and ‘Saur. The internets was in E.F.F.E.C.T.

Combat Jack, Eskay, Young, Dre, Miss Info, Meka and Hof

This collective right here is bigger than the industry. They are the internets. You can look directly at this group to see how the music business was re-shaped over the last five years. The kinks are still being worked out but all of these scumbags (and baggettes) are game changers. But seriously, the New Music Cartel is THAT important.

Hosting the event was wild in itself. Between shooting video throughout the show, drinking wild amounts of ‘The Sponsor‘ (c)40 Diesel, smoking everyone’s piff and even attempting a costume change I can say that I had the time of my life. I can’t believe that I smoked weed with the L.O.X. I’m no groupie or nothing, albeit a slight stan for Raekwon and DOOM, the L.O.X. is still some Hall Of Fame Hip-Hop shit you have to respect. Sean Price ain’t no joke either. As a matter of fact, the only two(2) rap shows I have hosted have both featured Sean P. To that I can only say Hail Meg!

The other common denominator is Terrence Elenteny on the lens. Terrence came through in the cobra clutch 11th hour when I realized there would be no way for me to give this event justice with my handy-cam. I can’t wait to see what homey rolls out for this one. In the mean time I’m gonna watch some footage from the rap showcase that the Internets Celebrities hosted, before it was all trendy for Hip-Hop blogs to be organizing shows.

Who is that masked man?

The Boot Camp Clique Chronicles…

Peace to the troops in Afghanistan.

I was on my weekend hunt for footwear comeups at my usual haunts… V.I.M.’s, Dr.Jay’s, Marshalls and A.J. Wright. I have been going in at A.J.Wright pretty hardbody over the last few months. I feel like I comeup over there the most often with the best deals. Sometimes the deal is almost a steal.

I returned some joints that I had copped from the Massapequa A.J.Wright to their Brooklyn store on Flatbush Avenue. I paid $15 for these adidas TS Creator joints in a Dr.Doom green. They were a size 11.5 but they were only $15 so I had to copp them. When I tried them on at again at home I knew I had to return them.

For me and adidas, 11.5 is a snug fit, although Nike 11.5 is also a tight pinch on my pinky toes. The kicks were so fresh I h8’d to part with them, adidas boycott notwithstanding but I’m glad I gave them up on this day. A.J.Wright has been selling these armageddon-proof Timberlands for cheap and the markdowns have been flowing.

Their initial price was $50 at the holidays and that was a great price for some boots that can take a serious beatdown like these joints. When I got back up top from Atlanta I saw that the price point had dipped to $32 and there was still a good number of them remaining in the store. I decided to wait out the next round of markdowns. Wham!(no George Michaels in the military), the next markdown took effect – $21.

I was lucky enough to copp the last pair but they are a size 13/13.5 so this means I will have to swap them out for a smaller size at another store if they haven’t sold out already. These joints are in the camo colorway that our troops are fuxing with right now. Shit is called Coyote Camo. Fully waterproof laceups for $21 and I’m amped for the next snowstorm to get it in with these joints.
