A Letter From The Management

December 5th, 2008

dpeezy

This drop right here is really, really for the Saturday family. I respect you cats on the Friday grind, but this drop is for the cats that come here on their time, not the man’s time. I see y’all. I fucks with y’all.

Okay, so I looked at myself in some pics the other night at the Complex party and I realized that I drinks too much. Word to ERNIE P. this alcohol shit is gonna kill me, but before I go I’ma let y’all know. That real. That really real.

So here’s where we go in…

The O.D.B. book reading was wack because the author wasn’t going in deep enough on the Wu. She got a little access but her shit was still second hand smoke. Not even a shotgun, just some second hand shit. She didn’t inhale. O.D.B. was a lot greater than she could imagine. Not as an emcee or a rapper, but as a Black man who tried to negotiate the height of this shit. Peace to Dirty and to Dilla. Peace to all the people that watch over us.

The Vibe/FAdR joint was bananas too, but just having an open bar with no soul doesn’t mean shit to me. I stood outside and I seen the Def Jam heavys come through. Then I made my way to the Complex popoff with my peoples from Decon Media. I fucks with these dudes seriously. Especially this cat Ruffian. I don’t fucks with everybody like this man and sometimes I don’t even fucks with him 100 when he has other folks on his coattails other than me. Make no mistake, Ruffian is my nigga tho.

The Complex holiday party was the shit again. D-Nice was on the set spinning that piff. He played a lot of joints that you will never hear in the club along with everything that is hot in the streets right now. I have to shout that man D-Nice. I peeped his photoblog a few years back and I knew I had to get on the internets. O.G. dudes just have an eye for the shit that is super-delicious (no Flavor of Love ho). I had the chance to tell D-Nice thank you for being so Hip-Hop for the last score. Get in where you fit in Gettysburg.

I am drunk right now. The Blackberry Pearl Flip phone party was another joint. That was last night. I apologize to whomever gift bag it was I absconded with. I couldn’t even give this shit away to a homeless person. In Style mag put it together and it is so wack. These magazines and promotions need to really step their gift bag game up. Niketown gave me a keychain. I wanted a second one and the bitch giving them out was hating. Hey lady, this shit was made in China. They made a thousand of these in the same hour that Nike paid you whatever they did to stand at the desk and hold them back from the people. I got two of them so at least two of y’all will get a Nike keychain for Chanukah.

I also went to this sneaker store Goliath in east Harlem for their fourth anniversary party. It was cool. It wasn’t no Vault party, but then again the Vault had Nike money to put into the popoff. Goliath went in with their own cheddar and I still got three Heinekin for free just for showing up. We will have to see how we can help Goliath get their steez to the greater public. I saw a lot of sales in Goliath, especially on ladies kicks. It’s no wonder either since one of the partners is a lady. All my female sneaker fiends need to check this spot out.

So on to the Blackberry joint. My nigga Lowkey let me rock on his coattails. He had super V.I.P. status. Not just open bar but bottle service status. The party was a little bit bougie, but that is what’s up. I knew that the Blackberry people love that corporate chump shit since that is where their bread and butter comes from. I am part of the community that fucks with Blackberry and doesn’t shave their face but maybe once a week. Keep them corporate niggas feeling good about themselves Blackberry but definitely let the creatives get their shit right too because we use these phones just as much.

I’m supposed to have a date with C.S. tonight after I leave the radio station. Oh yeah, tune in to the Industry Shakedown radio show tonight from 7pm to 9pm. My homeys Solace and Pay Jay are letting me hang out with them for another session of Hip-Hop and hoodtalk. Here’s the link with the right phone number this time. After the radio show is a Dewars event I might have to fall through to see if I can score a bottle or two of that shit. Dewars is the shit I use in the winter when I have a real bad cold. I fix up a stewpot with oranges, lemons, anise cloves and Dewars. I kick a cold in the ass. My dad taught me that. My dad also put me on to the Brooklyn Museum of Art’s First Saturdays.

When I moved back into my folks crib in 1998 my dad seen that I was still stuck on that broad that kicked me out her crib. He sent me to the Brooklyn Museum First Saturday party to fuck around with the Black chicks that get they art on. Your parent’s know you better than you know yourself. I need a bitch that likes Star Wars, comic books and sneakers. The only place you gonna find one of those ho’s is at the museum. To tell you the truth I found the only broad that likes all that shit, or at least knows how to front like she does. You could still find you some quality drawls up in that piece. No matter what you do I insist you peep the Egyptian collection. The Hebrew artisans that built up Egypt were fucking ill to def. Word to Moises.

So that is what the fuck I am talking about. And that is what the fuck I have been doing since I touched back down in the NYC. I can’t wait for the holiday parties next week. It’s about to be so fucking crazy I won’t be able to stand it, or stand up.

Pray for me internets.

The rest of y’all will have to put your hat in the ring next season. As a matter of fact, let’s go in for the NCAA’s. If the X-spot keeps paying me I will give away a free pair of kicks to the winner of that joint.

Who is sticking up football players like that? These dudes are carrying biscuits like nobodies business. Damn sonn, y’all go have to move onto an army base or some shit. Pretty soon anyone that showers is gonna be a target. Part of me says that anyone taking out several thousands of dollars in cash to go get drunk needs to come up off some of that money. Plax must have been holding the heater in his Hanes waistband [ll]. Copp you a holster next time ba’ybro. But for now you about to get a timeout for that penalty.

Wayne and JaRule got busted with biscuits back in the summer last year. They not even getting hit with probation. Why? Niggas ain’t have no bullets in they shit [ll]. They should’a had told Plaxico how to move with them thangs. You gotta keep the clip in another pocket. If the scene get hot then you roll on the floor on some James Bond shit. Niggas like Fabolous try’ns get you for your jewels will think you crazy out your mind.


Fabolous: “Why this fool is rolling on the ground?”

Then you jump up with the flamer in your grip, pop in the clip and then start peeling fools wigs like what. People will be like going bananas.

People in da’ club: Plaxico is illlllllllllll!

Instead of clapping yourself that would have been better. You gotta give credit at first to Antonio Pierce for trying to dispose of the joint, but as soon the pressure got put on him Pierce rolled up like a two dollar rug. That is the definition of a snitch. Michael Strahan would never have said shit. Michael Strahan has super t.I. David Falk as an agent. Falk could have removed that bullet himself like that Harvey Keitel character from Pulp Fiction.

So Plaxico is gonna have to bite this bullet. [ll] to the fact that pun was wholly intended. The Giants might could still get to the Super Bowl anyhoo. Who names their children Plaxico, D’Brickashaw? Dontrevius? Fuck that broken windows theory. I bet you could do survey of motherfuckers whose names end in a vowel and find a gang of people making the planet all fucked the fuck up. George, Condoleeza, Soulja, Plaxico.

Plaxico Burress was no Michael Vick.

Free Michael Vick.

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

December 3rd, 2008

plantation

From the land of plantations I am back on the plantation…

My day job actually isn’t a plantation, and even if it was I still get to wear kicks on most days.

Atlanta was extra dope. I connected with some folks that I only see in the comments section. There’s a lot of real people in the ‘A’ and a lot of sneaker fiends to get united.

The DunkxChange was cool. I copped these Air Max 1 NL (no lining) joints that I have been checking for. The dealers gave me a discount off their initial price. That was peace for me. I hope that my support will keep these events coming to Atlanta.

am1 nl

A few cats recognized the kid from the YouTubes so that was cool. We built for a few, but then I bounced with my crew. Fats and Brooklyn Mike were holding me down this afternoon as we fell through Atlanta’s landmark streetwear spot Walter’s and then did a swoop through the Underground.

I went in on some of the Ross Stores locations on the advice of the big homie Dirty Jerz. Ross Stores definitely had the come ups. My score was the Air Max Diamond Turf. These are the kicks that Neon Deion sported when he was down with Dallas.

neon deion

$30 was the official price that I couldn’t front on. I almost wanted to copp two pairs but instead I picked up a pair of cleats for the boy 40 Diesel since he still plays flag football in the grass for the Long Island kegger league. Would you believe that these joints were on clearance at Ross for $3.49?!?

Atlanta you are ridiculous fresh.

apocalypse

Another cat that I was able to get up with was the boy Spekt a/k/a ReadyRoc. He’s getting heavy into the blogs so you need to check his page. Double R is another ‘Lo rocking – sneakerfiending – comic collecting kid from the ghetto like myself. As a matter of fact, I’m from Corona, but R.R. is from Camden so he is definitely more ghetto. ReadyRoc put me on to some spots in the Little 5 Points neighborhood that I hadn’t peeped out yet.

Fam also got me hyped to copp some SB’s. Naturally I went in on the Boba Fett’s since I am a hardbody Star Wars nerdboy. I like the Atlanta spots when it comes to SB’s because they charge MSRP. Fuck around and you might even catch a sale with these spots. The store I fucks with in Kennesaw called Ambush gives you a free pair of kicks after you have bought six pairs.

boba fett

I like how Atlanta reps the sneaker fiends culture overall. There are definitely some stores for you to catch your come ups and there are some spots that hold down the exclusys. I can get in where I fit in and not feel any kind of way about it. Now that is what’s really good.

Them Nigga’s Crazy!

December 2nd, 2008

pryor

Still rocking on my Ol’ Dirty train of thought…

Dealing with mental illness in the Black community is even more taboo than the machismo and mysogyny that plagues the least educated sectors. You can have aliments like drug dependency and even a crippling handicap like a deformity. Just don’t be crazy.

1 in 5 young adults has personality disorder

I peeped this article which says that twenty percent (20%) of young adults has a mental disorder, and then only twenty five percent (25%) of that group receives some kind of counseling or treatment.

Damn. That is a whole lot of crazy niggas in America. Now I’m also a little depressed that more people aren’t embracing my perverse video rendition of ‘Love Lockdown‘. That shit should be dead center in some of y’all’s wheelhouses.

Black folks have historically had a difficult time being diagnosed for shit since we have seen the marginalization and disenfranchisement that comes from being ill and unable to generate production. If you couldn’t work your ass would be killed. There was no welfare for slaves.

Black folks still speak in hushed whispers when one of their relatives ain’t quite right. I don’t know why they do this because that nigga can still hear you. And you know what? He hates you too. The real question I have is why aren’t white folks getting their treatments for the crazies?

Racism is some shit that kicks everyone’s ass. I’m not saying that the young adult white in this survey are getting the crazies because they have come to see the fraudulent, duplicitous nature of supremacy, but racism is still fucked the fuck up. Half-Black president and the whole nine.

Maybe some of these young adult white are learning that they are being scammed by these colleges and paying off a school loan into your late thirties is a fucking bitch. While racism is fucked the fuck up, classism is the worst. Going into debt to hold onto the veneer of a ‘Have’ is starting to wear off on some people.

That is why some of the most advanced Blacks stay winning on they futuristic Sun-Ra shit by staying home all day playing Grand Theft Auto and collecting them welfare checks.
