The Boot Camp Clique Chronicles…

Irene turned out to be more hype than hurricane, but the media will make a mountain from a moehill when it needs to move some paper.

My post-storm outfit is still reflecting my preparedness by, well, reflecting.

3M, Gore-tex and Timberland boots are pretty much an undefeated combination of materials.

Stay dry internets, and walk good.

The DP.com newsdesk does some on street reporting during the so-called storm of the century. We are in the streets hardbody, but none of that reporting from the eye of the hurricane type shit where we could could get swept away and carried out to sea.

All that madness is #stuffwhitepeoplelike

No Bang From C4, Just Some Pop…

I have to admit that I never understood the fascination most rap fans seem to have with Lil’ Wayne. Yeah, he was what’s next back in 2006 but that seems like an eternity ago. The dude’s rhymes never became more compelling to me than simple contemporary pop drivel. Lil’ Wayne isn’t spitting timeless lines or transcendent concepts. I hope he doesn’t name another record Carter. This record gets the same rating I gave Watch The Throne, but at least I’m still playing songs off WTT.

I gave WTT a 2.5 because the two(2) artists who made that album could have done better, not so much for the Carter4. I will rate this album 2.5/5 because this is the best that Lil’ Wayne can do for rap. I’d rather hear Wayne on a rock album at this point. I mean, when the two best songs on YOUR own album don’t have you on the tracks I’d say that it’s a wrap for Wayne’s rap career.

I love bluecheese but that has nothing to do with the UMC’s

NikeID.com is letting you customize the Air Jordan 2011 so I mocked up a pair of DP.com ‘Blu Cheez’.
