WHAT’s THE FLAVOR!?! DECEP!
HAIL MEG!
Last night was the premiere of the movie ‘Deceptz’ which was loosely based on the legendary status of my brothers MEGATRON, RUMBLE and CYCLONUS. I say loosely based because the movie wasn’t written well enough to describe the passion that galvanized our collective together while we fought against the entire city. Because the story ended up being weak, ‘Deceptz’ will go straight to DVD if it even gets pressed up at the factory at all.
Last night was a gorgeous night though because I saw some brothers I have not seen in fifteen to twenty years. BOMBER, P-WOP, BLUR, BOSTON, HOOK OFF, DEVASTATOR, MENASAUR… It was a family reunion right on 59th Street, around the block from Art & Desgn H.S. Twenty years later we STILL shut that block down. The fools came out in force and you know what happens at a family reunion when one of the brothers says some sideways slick shit?
I say brothers a lot when I refer to the youth collective I joined during my teenage years, but sisters were an integral component of our collective. Let it be known that these sisters are prah’lee some of the most hardbody chicks evar. Still to this day. GOD created man first and then shit got better with woman. I had to laugh to myself that some of us are grandparents now, and still as loud and death-defying as when we were kids ourselves. Through it all I remain the Black Peter Pan. Always for the kids. No Robert Sylvester Kelly to that last sentence.
The fools in front of Brooklyn Tech.
STONE is a grandfather and a godfather in this shit.
This looks like a picnic day at Rockaway Beach.
Still foolish even though some of us are a little bit fatter. Okay, in my case a LOT fatter.
Big CY and ROXY
SPANKY and ROXY. Truth be told is that I had the biggest crush on SPANKY. Well, everyone did. You didn’t dare fuck around with SPANKY though. If she caught your ass cheating she would shank you, and that’s real talk.
HEADSTRONG still looks the same.
Shout out to VITAL for bringing that love of family, and respect of the foundation to the younger generation, and for having everybody’s phone numbers.
Being with all of the fools last night reminded me of what the essence of DeCep was from the beginning. We are NOT a gang. We are family. You don’t become a family through violence, but through love and sharing. Yes, some people will get knocked the fuck out because they cross the family. GOD bless those foolish mortals. Let me tell you some stories about my brothers and the city we lived in. You decide if you still want to label us a gang, or if you can recognize that we were simply trying to find our place in a world without love or respect for us.
The transformation that I’ve made from two decades ago is complete and I still have love for my brothers and their struggles in life. I just think it’s time that you heard the true story of growing up poor in a city overrun with drugs, corruption and greed. Save your judgment until you have heard the truth.
By the way, PARIS HILTON was at the premiere too. Ha ha. Crazy night.
