A Magic Negro’s Brave New World…

April 8th, 2012

Internets! I’ve just joined the ranks of famous magical negroes by having a Tumblr page titled ‘Magic Negro World‘.

So for the page is simply revisiting my past YouTube triumphs, but I’ll eventually kill this blogsite and move all my operations to the simple ease of the Tumblr feed.

Less writing for me. Less reading for you. More magic for all. Amen.

Putting All Our Eggs Into One Basket…

April 8th, 2012

Double entendre abounds with the above headline. Toney Douglas was nearly exiled to the Siberian League last month but with the season ending injury to Jeremy Lin and the habitual gimpiness of Baron Davis the Knicks are looking to Douglas to save their season.

Douglas gave some hope with his performance against Orlando last Thursday by keying the defense and spelling the starting PG Davis with timely shots and crucial assists. The Knicks are tenuously holding on to the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference and their game today against the Chicago Bulls might be a preview of the first round match-up of the 1st and 8th seeds.

Toney Douglas, I take back every piece of slander I uttered in your direction.

Tango With The Cash…

NYC’s underground leaders, Shaz IllYork and Maffew Ragazino, posted this clip last week and I hadn’t gotten around to viewing it until today. Shaz Illyork is interesting because he fully understands the visual medium which today’s music occupies as he attempts to create treatments for all the songs he releases.

Shaz is gonna pop off one of these days and I will just be happy to say that I’m from Queens too.

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

I think this is a first for me on video where I not only have several different styles of shoes featured but also from several different manufacturers.

I’m showing adidas Rod Lavers, the Reebok Insta-Pump Fury x Mita collaboration, Nike volleyball Air Trainers and my OG grail Air Tech Challenge 3/4s. I’m all over the place, but at the end of the day its all about copping what you like and being true to your style.

Kendrick Lamar Has The Recipe…

April 3rd, 2012

I finally listened to a Kendrick Lamar song today. Yep, my first Kendrick Lamar listen and I found homeboy to be quite nice. I couldn’t tell the difference between he or Dr.Dre but to be honest they both sounded slick. This track is called ‘The Recipe’.

Kendrick Lamar featuring Dr.Dre – ‘The Recipe’

I got these Kendrick Lamar YouTube links from Hip-Hop Is Read and Know The Ledge. Now I’m wearing a Kendrick Lamar late pass while I listen his Section 80 album. Damn, this boy good…
