BLU CHEEZ TV x Premium Laces…

December 17th, 2008

tye dye dunks

During the Sneaker Fiends Unite NYC Tour we visited a shop in lower Manhattan owned by a fellow sneaker fiend.

PETE owns Premium Laces in SoHo.

His passion for collecting is what makes his shop a special place for the rest of us sneaker heads. It isn’t simply the exclusive products that the store carries but the ideal that this hobby should be accessible AND affordable.

Pete was kind enough to take the time out from serving customers to politic with me about all things sneaker related.

Too Many Parties And Not Enough Time…

December 17th, 2008

go in bros

The ‘GO IN’ Brothers have their work cut out for them tonight.

I hate when there are too many obamas scheduled for the same evening.

There’s no way I can go to all of these joints.

Alright, maybe I can go to all of them.

I’m making sure that I have the mini-cam in my hands so you can all see what happens when I leave the basement.

Hilarity shall ensue.

The ‘GO IN’ brothers features DaRuffian, Hobbs, Chad Miller, Jackpot, Sandman and LowKey.

André 3000 >>> All Other 3000’s

December 17th, 2008

3 stacks

One day removed from the meltdown of millions of Tupac stans I am here to say that André Benjamin b.k.a André 3000 is better than all other 3000’s in the entertainment industry. Okay, he is better than most 3000’s. Mystery Science Theater 3000 is still the best 3000 in the entertainment business.

I remember when some shit could be 2000 and people were all amazed and in awe. No one gives a shit about 2000 anymore. 2000 is washed up as a futuristic science fiction numeral. 3000 has possibilities though.

“It might could still popoff in 3000.” – DP ‘hoodspeak

With that motion I picked up two films from the dollar bins at A.J. Wright. I love that effin’ store. Right now all the shit on clearance is an additional 25% off at checkout. If some shit is on clearance at A.J. Wright then you know even a crackhead don’t want that shit.

I saw this movie titled ‘Alien 3000’ and the cover looked like the alien from SIGOURNEY WEAVER fame. I used to want to bang fire out of Lt. Ripley back in the day. Anyhoo, I never heard of ‘Alien 3000’. I stopped fucksing with the franchise after they had CHARLES ‘Roc’ DUTTON playing that convict or whatever.

alien 3000

‘Alien 3000’ is not part of the Alien movie franchise even though their cover art would like us to think so. This is a horrible, horrible movie. A gold eating alien is killing motherfuckers that try to steal his gold. WTF?!? The special effects were on some OG ‘Land of the Lost’ type shit except this film was made in 2004. It sucked wild balls. The only redeeming factor was that it starred LORENZO LAMAS. I just like saying that dude’s name [ll].

I am going to use a new movie rating system here at DP Dot Com for films that we should never see. Evar. To help me with the new system I have asked Mister 3 Stacks a.k.a. The Funk Crusader to lend us his time. ‘Alien 3000’ receives a 3 Stacks vote.

3 Stacks = Aww Hells Gnarls!

dracula 3000

I am staying on my 3000 theme in the dollar bin by bringing home ‘Dracula 3000’. This joint had Coolio and Tiny Lister in the cast as a spaceship filled with two-bit smugglers comes up on a deserted cargo ship. Instead of finding fortune the pirates find vampires and proceed to get their asses kicked. Standard shit from Hollywood which means recycled scripts and the worst acting known to man. I hated it so much I loved it. Another 3 Stacks for Drac.

Aww Hells Gnarls!

The best part of watching both of these films is the fact that someone is going to get a copy of these mailed to them. Don’t you all raise your hands at once. I have one copy of ‘Dracula 3000’ and three (3) copies of ‘Alien 3000’. If you aren’t on the DP Dot Com Snail Mail list now would be your chance to get down and get in my postage pocket. I’ll contact you via e-mail if you are so inclined.

POLITRICKS 2008: Start Snitching…

December 17th, 2008

jjjr

The damage control continues for JESSE JACKSON Jr. as his spokesman tells the press that JACKSON has been giving information to Federal investigators for many years.

This my friends is the definition of a snitch.

Snitches protect their unscrupulous interests as well as covering their asses.

I am not calling JESSE JACKSON Jr. a snitch because I think he did something illegal and he is looking to cover up his criminality, I am calling him a snitch because he plays the game of politricks just like everyone else does. This dude has been in office for more than a dozen years. You don’t keep a political machine running for that long without greasing the wheels from time to time.

The ROD BLAGOJEVICH scandal is politically problematic because it describes the corruption that occurs within the most private corridors of power. This has nothing to do with people that aren’t associated with the plurality as public servants. There are no bankers, no stock brokers, no captains of corporations and no prositutes. This whole shit was all politicians.

Playing politricks.

I try not to hate the players though just because the game is all fucked the fuck up.

Deconstructing The Myth…

December 16th, 2008

pac

Thuggin’ bubbles makes the kids go crazy…

I was all ready to go in deep to deconstruct the myth of Tupac being in the Top 10 list of rappers of all time and I just realized that he may not even make the Top 50 list. Calling Tupac the G.O.A.T. is like calling Lil’ Wayne the “best rapper alive”. The only way either of these scenarios is possible is if you remove every other rapper from existence.

I originally was going to compare Tupac’s lyrics against these other rapper’s best songs…

Rakim
NaS
Jay-Z
Ice Cube
B.I.G.
LL
Kool G Rap
Common
Big Pun
Andre 3K
Big L
KRS-1

Then I realized that I had left off so many other rappers who deserve to get placed in that control group.

Redman
Scarface
Ghostface
Raekwon
E-40
Treach
Black Thought
GZA
Method Man
Mos Def
Talib Kweli

And then I realized that there are these rappers who will come to surpass Tupac in lyrical quality like…

Joell Ortiz
Joe Buddens
Royce da’ 5-9
Crooked I
Game
Saigon
Fabolous

And then I thought about how eazy it was to make a list…

Young Jeezy
Kanyeezy
Lil’ Weezy
Lil’ Eazy
Febreze

Okay, maybe I’m wrong on that one. Tupac might could rap better than Febreze.
