The Purist: Double Feature E.P.
Monday, May 7th, 2012Knicks Finally Beat The Heat…
Monday, May 7th, 2012
What was prA’li the final home game for the Knickerbockers 2011-12 season was filled with drama and defined what the season has become for the team and its fans.
The Knicks pulled out a 2pt victory from the team every oddsmaker is predicting to hold onto the Eastern Conference crown and return to the Association tournament final round.
Carmelo Anthony was 2pts shy of reaching his Knick high score. Partly because he missed too many free throws and partly because Dwayne Wade gave him the Alonzo Mourning treatment on a dunk attempt.
But the Knicks stood tall and were resilient even after Baron Davis left the game with a horrific knee injury. Thanks to Amar’e Soudemire’s valiant efforts and the remaining team’s determination.
These Knicks might not play another game together after these playoffs but at least they stopped the post-season winless streak the franchise was mired in. Godspeed Baron Davis. Thank you Knickerbockers for the 2011-12 season.

Action Bronson opens for the other rappin’ chef, Raekwon, at Princeton University.
I watched Bronson pull off this rapping while in the crowd stunt at the College Music Jornal in NYC last year and it never gets old seeing people have fun at a rap show.
SLAVE: ‘Watching You’
Sunday, May 6th, 2012
The O.G. visual belongs to Sébastien Tellier’s song ‘Look’ which is a trancy groove but the homey from A Silent Flute said that Slave’s ‘Watching You’ worked over the images so I gave it a shot.
Slave was amongst a bevy of funk bands which emerged from Ohio in the late 1970s/1980s along with the Ohio Players, Dazz, Lakeside, Faze-O and Roger Troutman and ZAPP.
R.I.P. to most of the members of those bands. The only people who die as young as Hip-Hop musicians are funk band players from Ohio.
