king latifah

Queen Latifah had her jewels boosted during her holiday away in Tobago. Being that Tobago has only five people living on the island I think her shit will be returned the second it gets brought into the Pidgeon Peak pawn shop.

What I want to point your attention to is how Latifah is described in the article. She is now an R-n-B singer as well as actress. Latifah makes one miserable lounge singer album and another compilation of Lite FM tunes and now she is an R-n-B singer. I ain’t even mad at’cha Dana, but I also wonder what DMX would have to do to be considered a gospel artist?

Latifah was rumored to be considering marriage with her longtime companion (prior to California’s Prop 8 adoption) she was also rumored to be working on a new rap album featuring production by Dr. Dre, along with Missy Elliot. The album is tentatively titled ‘The L Word’. I wish I was making this shit up.

American Graph-iti…

January 1st, 2009

You big dummy!

There is something that I find humorous about the visceral nature of humanity. We give far too much credit to our eyesight for our peace of mind. Seeing is believing, or so they say. Well whatever happened to faith? And our guts? People don’t trust their intestines for anything anymore, but I bet you that a scientist would pull out your innards and tell your life story as if they were reading a papyrus scroll. This is because we lack soul collectively. Stop believing what your eyes are telling your brain.

A few days ago I posted a drop here and at the X spot to talk about the mainstream media’s account on the mortality of the Black male. Now for those of us that are, ummm, Black males, this isn’t any particular news that we haven’t likely experienced in several forms. Even the fact that it appears to have worsened isn’t surprising to us. Sad to say. In the wake of this newsstory I was inspired to create a graph which described the relationship of Black male mortality to the commerce of music that highlights Black male mortality.

The internets went nuts thanks to ProperTalks, but the only thing people focused on was the graph I created. No one wants to deal with the story on how we are all complicit actors in the drama of supremacy. People want to quibble about a gotdamn graph that doesn’t mean shit. This is because people lack soul. Even Black folks. I know that Black folks like to think they inherently have a conscience but CLARENCE THOMAS, CONDOLEEZA RICE and ROBERT JOHNSON are all proof positive that having a soul is nothing that is mutually racially exclusive.

The truth, without the use of a graph or even an article in the supremacist apologist NYTimes is that the Black male is the most marginalized and disenfranchised person on the planet. This maintains the hegemony of supremacy and assists the design of capitalism. This is why we can afford to buy t-shirts at Wal-Mart for $2 and why this country is building prisons faster than they are building schools. 1 out of every 100 Americans is in prison right now.

Do you need a graph for that?

POLITRICKS 2008: Stimulus Status…

January 1st, 2009

run dc

I hope the president-elect doesn’t expect me to sell his t-shirts as part of my stimulus package. I’ve been having enough trouble as it is selling my own shirts. I don’t want no stimulus check anyhoo. I want that big gwap that comes from one of those bailout packages. Those are the joint. That is how I finally come up on my yacht and my private plane when I get my hands on one of those Congressional bailout packages (no LARRY CRAIG’s pkg).

What would you do with the money if you came up on one of those billion dollar bailout programs? Nothing too crazy like one of those Wall Street banker bailouts. I’m thinking of something more manageable like the packages that the auto manufacturers and the airlines will get. I can get with a nice cool hundred billion.

I wouldn’t even use that cake to copp the Polo mansion.

Until I get my stim check though I’ma need some of y’all to help the kid get through this cold ass winter.

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

December 31st, 2008

ajp

I don’t hardly ever feature Air Jordan products on my page since I don’t buy them any longer. One of the reasons I stopped copping Air Jordans was because of the pricing shenanigans that developed due to the scarcity of the shoe. I shouldn’t be such a hater though since Nike knew they were dealing with instant classics on the day these shoes were released. Good capitalism says that you can fux with the demand when you fux with the supply.

Anyhoo, I thought to myself that Nike would have to be really progressive to bring me back to copping Air Jordans (not that they even need my scrilla). I thought to myself about what it would take for me to become excited about a pair of Air Jordans and then it hit me right in the eyesocket.

AIR.

I reached out to the Twitternation for anyone who could bang out some photoshop .jpgs and I got a bunch of folks that stepped up to shoot their shot. In the end it was our techmeister and videostreaming homey DJ RAYZ that came through with a sick pair of Air Jordan X(10) x Air Max 360 hybrids. How fireworks are these?!? Str8 fire flames for your foot game.

I am calling these joints the AJaX360
