PURPLE REIGN…

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

fools

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.

fools

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.

    They threw a bone to the fools for use of the name otherwise it would’a been hell on Earth but the script was a mish-mosh of 100 different hip-hop films and there was no cohesive thread to make you like any of the characters.

    More than all of that, it wasn’t real.

  6. Lion XL says:

    First of all….it was starring FREDRO!! I have nothing else to say…..

  7. the_dallas says:

    Fredro wasn’t bad in his part so much as the writing was shit.

    You did have to suspend reality as well to imagine little ass Fredro as Cyclonus, but this is what Hollywood does to insert the actors they think will bring the audience.

  8. Dart_Adams says:

    This joint must’ve been mega indie cuz I didn’t even know about it. Let me know when it gets distribution cuz I doubt they’ll ever show it in the Bean.

    One.

  9. I haven’t heard about this yet either, but of course I’m in the A. The story sounds dope, but I guess the movie is bunk if an O.G. says it is. Word to 8 Diagrams.

    Good shit.

    ever since i started reading dp dot comm and caught knowledge about the deceps, now all i see in the Public Enemy Fight the Power video is that flag thrown up midway through the crowd… respect

  12. mrkamoji says:

    Dallas the world is waiting for you jawn…How goes it with you…

  13. Amadeo says:

    Co-sign u doing it…take it documentary style and do the book along with it.

  14. P-Matik says:

    For real Dallas, you, Rafi, and the crew should get your film game up and do this one yourself. I think y’all could really make it happen. At least the story would be right and a good documentary would be tight. Eff the Hollywood BS.

  15. Tony says:

    Double Co-sign on the Dallas Penn take on this story . . . I’d even go for the Internets photograph slide show version with some DP narration. Hell, from what I’ve read of just a few posts I’d cop the DVD in a heartbeat.

  16. Angela aka forever"Spanky" says:

    First, Hail Meg 101!!!!!! Dallas, this was absolutely the best montage of photos to go with that event. Sooooooo, you had a crush on me? Hmmmmmmmm… Everyone is telling me that now. Why didn’t all of you say it then? What because of Delo? Oh please!!!!! Not that I would have cheated on him but, hey what’s wrong with a girl knowing? LOL I was thinking about when Rick (Meg) brought us (the Nettes) up to Tech and we met you for the first time and had to show you who we were. You doubted us at first but after we beat the shit out of that girl you had beef with, we didn’t hear a peep out of you anymore. LMAO!!!!!!!!!! That shit was hilarious. Well, like I said on your page, it was good seeing you and all my brothers that night. Damn it, it was a family reunion. So, Dallas why don’t you write the real movie so, the real story can be told? BTW who in the hell is Eddie???? That’s all I want to know.

  17. the_dallas says:

    Spank,
    Not even because of Mandelo but because y’all broads were a handful. To a member, the ‘Nettes were the most hardbody collection of chicks of all time. I was enjoying all my lottle girlfriends too.

    That chick is the girl that sent the five-percenters after me which started the whole shit in the beginning. Her beatdown was legendary. A few days later we brought closure on them five-percenters when we caught Divine at Nevins Street.

    Damn, the folly and hubris of youth…

    I am on the project so serious right now. I am calling it the Transformation. It will be OUR story. It speaks on leadership, love, loss and ultimately life. You already know…

    Hail Meg!

    P.S. Who the FUCK was Eddie?!?

  18. kell says:

    Yo the movie was ok to me but they have took out a lot of taping from that movie. it needs to be put out the correct way so people can understand us. I see half the clowns all the time. But some I have not seen in a long time like Dallas. Frenzy and horror kill I saw in Janurary. Hook off it has been a minute. I saw him in the begin of the year. Spanky was the main one of the netts I have not seen in a long time It was good seeing her for sho. The other netts rumblette, sabrina and kashawn I always see.
