The new DOOM album is supplanting KanYe West’s ‘808s & Heartbreak’ as the musical inspiration for the diabolical BLU CHEEZ TV music video series.
Expect to see a few of the tracks from ‘Born Like This’ to become fanboy video fodder on this site soon.
But in the meantime and in between time…
Raekwon the Chef featuring DOOM! – ‘Yessir’
E.S.G. – ‘U.F.O.’
Digital social networks are still somewhat of a mystery to the world at large. Some folks in my old neighborhood have been signing up to a Ning site which connects all the folks that grew up in Corona Queens next to Shea Stadium. I have been a little leery to join in the fun since these are cats that NEVER used computers before. They weren’t even MySpace users. So that lets you know how far behind these folks are.
The current darling of digital social networking is Twitter. It’s so popular that FaceBook redesigned their pages to imitate the Twitter profiles. Twitter is what the internets were created for. Experts speak freely with people that are passionate about those same subjects. There are a few skirmishes but the discourse is generally positive, or at least it is congenial. The mainstream media’s response to twitter has been to provoke fear in the free exchange of ideas.
Twitter gets you fired in 140 characters or less
No one gets fired for the shit they do on a computer*.
* provided you aren’t doing any kiddie pr0n bullshit
People get fired for the shit they do OFF the computer.
You can see that people are going from being jealous of KanYe West for his talent to fearing him and the power he is securing for himself.
Only a few years ago he willfully jumped out the window (no Ron Browz or Erick Sermon) and went off script during the televised Hurricane Katrina fundraiser. That was career suicide for EVERYONE else in the world.
Who would have done that in the Hip-Hop generation?
KanYe West is scrutinized more than any entertainer next to Michael Jackson. MJ is actually crazy though, whereas KanYe is only slightly eccentric and even more talented than MJ.
I am starting to think that KanYe is so talented that he may not even be a human. For all we know, KanYe West left the Earth on a spaceship after the ‘Late Registration’ album.
The KanYe West that we all see now is just an android with the original ‘Ye Tudda’s vision.
These are the outtakes from the aftermath of the Roots concert at the Highline Ballroom featuring Hof from ONSmash.com and Shamz da’ baron from OKayPlayer.
This video brought to you by the smooth overproof taste of Ernest & Julio VSOP Brandy and McDonald’s sweet tea.
Props to DART ADAMS…
The 2009 NCAA men’s college basketball tournament is in full effect. This year we have a boisterous and diverse group vying for a pair of DALLASPENN dot com Nike Dunks courtesy of the good folks in the prA’li movement.
I decided to add a little something extra to the pot since we are mired in an economic recession. The pooler who ends up with the lowest total will also win a pair of kicks too. Since everyone made their selections in an effort to be the king of the hill I feel like showing some love to the biggest loser. I know, I know, that’s mighty Black of me. You are all welcome.
There haven’t been any real major upsets in general, although I did select Wake Forest to go to the Final 4 (I may have been the only one). The Sweet 16 next weekend will have some of the favored teams shaken from the tree. Louisville looks suspect as does Missouri. We’ll see how things come together next weekend. DO the women still have a Final 4 tourney? When are they gonna finally rename that shit the PAT SUMMIT tournament?
PAT SUMMIT is the man!
