A year ago I met up with RAFI KAM from OhWord Dot Com and his filmmaker homey, CAS NOZKOWSKI. From there on, the rest is history.

Peep the birth of the iNTERNETS CELEBRITIES.

The one, the only, the Ghetto Big Mac. Chea!

OSIRIS LIVES…

This weekend has several landmark concerts here in New York City. First, there is the 25th anniversary of the movie ‘Wild Style’ popping off at Central Park’s Summer Stage on Sunday, and foremost, there is the Rock The Bells concert at Randall’s Island on both Saturday and Sunday. Both events will represent the greatest aspects of the Hip-Hop artistic movement. I wish that I could be at both events simultaneously to soak up the raw energy and love that that devoted Hip-Hop fans bring to the artform.

I had the chance to meet the director of ‘Wild Style’ CHARLIE AHEARN at a film screening earlier this summer. Dude was so down to Earth and amazed at the response that his movie still generates after a quarter of a century. He knew Hip-Hop was real from the first moment he experienced it. Long before General Electric and Viacom embedded their vulturous corporate claws into the movement. He recognized the unique self expression and valiance of the performers. ‘Wild Style’ is a fitting homage to that spirit. Not only will the film be screened at the SummerStage, but there will be an all star performance by some of the giants that gave birth to the movement. GrandMaster Caz, Chief Rocker Busy Bee and the Grand Wizard Theodore will be live and direct, just to name a few. I’m sure there will guest appearances and surprises all afternoon. The best part of this event is that it’s FREE. There is nothing more Hip-Hop than a free park jam.

The Rock The Bells concert is far from free, but it will feature the most important groups in the history of rap music. The Wu Tang Clan, The Roots crew, Public Enemy and a reunited Rage Against The Machine along with Blackstar and the God emcee, Rakim Allah are just some of the names on the lineup. I’m not sure how many members of the Wu will actually appear but as long as the RZA is in the building I know the spirit of Osiris will be there as well. For me, O.D.B. is the epitome of Hip-Hop’s true essence. His art and his energy all arise from his soul. O.D.B. was as incorruptible as he was uncontrollable. He was complex and conflicted. I regard him as a modern day hero because he had the courage to speak his mind at all times. At some point this weekend, whether you go to any of the concerts here in New York City or wherever you are doing your thing please take a minute to make the Wu salute with your hands and give praise to the almighty for blessing us with the spirit of Ol’ Dirty Bastard.

‘YE TUDDA Says “WHAT DOES IT SMELL LIKE!?!”

Friday, July 27th, 2007

To wrap up our week with guest editor, rapper KANYAYZE WEST, we thought we’d ask him one of the most important questions concerning Hip-Hop right now. It’s not about politics, or sales figures, or even who has the sickest rhyme flow of all time. The question is so much realer than that. In the words of DP Dot Com sponsor and award winning blogger ZILLZ from Zilla Says, the ultimate questions is “What Does It Smell Like!?!”(click on icon)

WDISL!?! gets to the core of the human condition. If we are nothing more than animals walking upright (most times) then why don’t we give the proper credit to that sense which conveys our emotional state? Smell is as, if not more important than sight, and WDISL!?! proves this without a doubt. Let’s take a look at some images along with ‘YE TUDDA and find out what his nose knows…

‘YE TUDDA says, “Serena boonkey is thick, but the streets say that she smell like a wrestler on Andro. Plus I imagine that she has played with her share of dirty, sweaty tennis balls. I wouldn’t trust it until I see a picture from the front side. Serena might could be one of those chicks who got a ‘surprise’ for you.”

‘YE TUDDA says, “Now I ain’t saying she’s a gold digger… Flav gave her that little taste of Hollywood, but deep inside she is still a hoodrat that you drink 40’s and smoke blunts with. Wasn’t she the Flav chick that shitted on herself?”

SNEAKER FIENDS UNITE!

We all agree that KANYE WEST is the freshest rapper in the game right now. Between him and LIL’ WANG there aren’t any artists whose styles are as thoroughly discussed and disseminated on the streets (read: internets). My peeps over at Flawless Hustle e-mailed me some of the Air Max designs for upcoming Fall ’07 release. Since KANGHEY is pitching in this week as the guest editor I thought I’d find out what he thinks of these joints.

These Air Max 90 are part of a package called HUFquake. HUF is a designer that NIKE collabs with much in the same way I do when I visit the NIKE I.D. studio, except HUF is allowed an even sicker array of leathers and colorways to choose from, and HUF gets about fifty free pairs to give away to his friends. I have to pay for my shit.

Still and all I can’t help but to style on these fools. These pieces are crispy enough to be church shoes. Peep the elephant skin print on these I.T.’s. These joints look B.A.N.A.N.A.S.

meh ‘YE TUDDA says “Hell yeah!”
My Japanese connects already sent me four pairs of them Airs.

Since y’all are cool with me, print out this 30% Off Discount Coupon to Foot Locker and do your thing. Tell ’em ‘YE TUDDA sent you.
