Chocolate Snowflake ain’t neva lie when she said that I don’t need to buy any more kicks just to be able to coordinate my gear perfectly. I had these Dunks in the archive and I excavated them looking for deadstock pairs to sell at the Brooklyn Flea on Saturday.
The strings line up with the 5 panel lifestyle chapeau like a mother. Question now is whether I go to the Flea hardbody in my shorts just to let the socks rock flamboyantly?
PrA’li.
Freeway is still rhyming harder than your average and the track was produced by Bink.
I ain’t mad at this one…
Freeway – ‘Turn It Up’
Everyone’s comparing Occupy Wall Street to the protests in Egypt without understanding that the rich and wealthy in Egypt wanted a regime change so they posited the poor and disenfranchised directly at Mubarak. The rich and wealthy in America DON’T want a regime change over here. They want to keep the status quo popping off in their advantage.
The fact that Americans couldn’t see far enough to fight for their healthcare rights means they definitely won’t grasp that their quality of life has been undermined by our corporate overlords. They’ll continue to find these protestors anti-American or at best a nuisance. In the meantime and in between time someone better take a look at the social security fund.
What’s gonna happen when the police get their pensions pushed back? By then private security firms and ‘contractors’ will be on the job just like they made all the executive decisions in Iraq.
Smarten up NaS.
More Black bullshit coming from the NY Comic Con…
Hot Peas and Butta is an artist collective formed from deejays and emanating into other artforms like dynamic visual media (moving pictures ya’ big dummy!).
Here’s an afternoon mix from HPB that will keep you on the good foot while you are at the dayjob.
The Roots next album will be an experimental Hip-Hopera titled ‘UnDun’ about the brief life of a young man caught up in the streetlife.
Allow me to let Questlove tell the story…
“At this point in our career we’d like for our work to have a unifying theme, and an experiential quality. We’ve been intentionally making our albums shorter in length so that they can be experienced as a continuous work. The music is band-oriented with an eye on the moody cinematic. As a DJ, I am the King of playlists, but I don’t want our albums to feel like a playlist or a mixtape for that matter. We want to tell stories that work within the album format and we want the stories to be nuanced and useful to people.
Undun is the story of this kid who becomes criminal, but he wasn’t born criminal. He’s not the nouveau exotic primitive bug-eyed gunrunner like Tupac’s character Bishop in Juice… he’s actually thoughtful and is neither victim nor hero. Just some kid who begins to order his world in a way that makes the most sense to him at a given moment… At the end of the day… isn’t that what we all do?”
