Hip-Hop Hooray!

What if B.E.T. were to honor Hip-Hop as well as Vh-1 does?

Here’s a few thoughts on tonight’s taping of Vh-1’s Hip-Hop Honors Awards and why all the honorees were deserving of their recognition for a myriad number of reasons.

  • Too Short was a pioneer of self-distribution before the age of the internets and platforms like YouTube and the such
  • De La Soul for inspiring most of us to become rappers that rhymed to our own beat
  • Cypress Hills for keeping Hip-Hop’s legacy of activism well lit
  • Naughty By Nature for still having that Juice
  • Slick Rick for just being the ruler
  • TERRENCE came through and shot up the red carpet. Okay, I mean shot using his movie camera, and the carpet was actually purple and not red. Not a royal purple either, more like an eggplant nightshade type purple.

    MARVELOUS MO held it down for DP Dot Com. I can’t wait to see her footage. She looked so stunning that Fat Joe only remembers me because I was standing next to her.

    KEV CLARK remains omnipresent when red carpets are in effect. Peep some of his pics…

    We were sited next to B.E.T.’s “Black Carpet” coverage team again. I didn’t make a point to talk through their uncharismatic hosts like I did last year and GOD rewarded my goodness by letting me see Vh-1 staff boot B.E.T. off the carpet runway to behind the steel barriers.

    Vh-1 staff keeps their shit real nazi-like for the press. We accept that treatment for the access and the crafts services. F.Y.I. The roasted chicken and the vegetable lasagna were excellent. As usual, I made my way to the V.I.P. area where the kick ass hors d’ovaries and the free drinks were. 40 Diesel was there going in hardbody on the souvenir cups.

    I caught a few minutes of the performances between my double-fisting and free dinner. It’s fun to be a fan of Hip-Hop. Most of the people in the VIP area were still working and politicking. The new event is now the Hip-Hop Honors afterparty where the entertainment industry people rub elbows with the night’s performers.

    Basically, everyone that has been together for the last 12 hours hangs out for another 4 hours. I’m sure someone is charging this to overtime.

    I’m certainly not.

    It’s only 6am and I have only processed three video clips. Sleep? That shit is the cousin of death.

    I wish I could quit you Hip-Hop [ll].

    POLITRICKS 2008: By The Time I Get To Arizona…

    I have this dream about relocating to Phoenix.

    Sometimes my memory is dangerously short though.

    Alamo from the Brand Nubians reminded me tonight about JOHN McCAIN’s opposition to the MLK Jr. federal holiday.

    Damn, this meatball McCAIN is extra chump status.

    He supported the supremacist governor EVAN MEACHAM in overturning the holiday only to have to become an adversary with him after MEACHAM had been impeached.

    *makes mental note to urinate on MEACHAM’s gravesite by the time I get to Arizona*

    DP.COM MANNY WATCH…

    I am getting my ass kicked seriously this year in the DP Dot Com Football Pool. I made the decision to give the readers at XXL a shot at their own pool. I’m losing in that one too since I use the same picks for both tournamants.

    There’s still a lot of football left for the season but if my fortunes don’t turn around I will be giving all my new kicks to my friends. I used to be good at picking the spread. Not for long…

    Who are these Kansas City Chiefs? Do they want to suck? I believe they do. I just wish they would consistently.

    Atlanta is definitely a shitty squad. I won’t pick them to beat the spread any longer this season.

    Where did the Jets get that offense? I can’t imagine that BRETT FAVRE can keep this up for the entire season.

    Tampa Bay, who the fuck are you?

    Philly?

    No more prisoners for the rest of the season. I am on my Football Pick’Em grizzly.

    empire strikes back

    My internets cipher is fucking Imperial!

    I fell thru VeE’s site and he had a drop on the artist that created mean ass movie posters like the one you see above. Hand painted movie posters, not that bitchmade photoshop shit that computer boys generate. VeE is also smashing shit on the political humor tip right now.

    Scritch & Scratch

    I checked my homey DirtyJerz’ page to see what vintage lifestyle wears he was flossing for the people and ‘Lo and behold (puns always intended) he did a drop on some Boba Fett NIKE SB Dunks.

    DirtyJerz

    Fucking Boba Fett!?! Sonn, is my all-universal favorite bounty hunter of all time.

    Then my homey Grandmaster gave me a shout out because he had some SB links for me to peep. I told him about the Boba Fett SB’s and he just gave me the link to the hoodie that I must own NOW!
