STR8 SAVAGES…

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

I found this old CD single in my crib when I was doing some reorganization. This was recorded by my dude Buddah Tye along with Slade Savage. They were part of the early Hydra Entertainment movement. I was gonna be a rap music record producer way back in the day, but I derailed those dreams with my greed and my foolishness. We will get into the particulars of that soon.

Buddah Tye and Slade Savage were dudes that I grew up with from the beginning. Slade Savage’s mom was my first babysitter. Buddah Tye is the dude that was my OG weedcarrier, literally. Buddah Tye, along with SoundWave were the first cats from my neighborhood to fuck with me and my Decept brothers at the March of Dimes Walk-A-Thon. We go back like lawnchairs my niggas.

Speaking of SW… This week was sonn’s new year. I wished him a happy 39th and you know what this fool had the nerve to say? He wasn’t born in 1970, but in 1971. WTF?!? That is just the type shit this foolio nigga would try. He is trying to push his age back by ONE year with the thinking that “Why would I only push my age back one year instead of two or three?” Listen SW, because I know you are reading this. Your old ass is 39. Quit yer’ bitching and be happy. You look great for an old ass nigga. Look at me. I look like I got one Air Max already in the grave.

Slade Savage was about two years younger than us. He and ThunderCracker were in the same grade. Along with the homey June these dudes were the youngest cats getting blunted and stunted. If you took a day off from school with these fools you were gonna get high and you were gonna have sex with something young and lovely. This was their everyday mission. Slade and June used call TC a fool for running around the city with me since the shit I wqas doing was surely going to lead to being arrested but all these dudes did was stay high. Well yeah, they also fucked a lot of girls too.

TC’s death was a big turning point for all of us. TC was the bond that held us all together. June left NYC and went to Baltimore to grind. Slade Savage focused on rapping and I went my own way. It wasn’t until a few years ago that we all found ourself in communication again. June had survived Baltimore in the early 90’s when a lot of dudes had not. Savage has moved on from emceeing to raising his kids. I feel like he has about five or six on some SHAWN KEMP shit. I thought about these dudes as I straightened up my apartment and uncovered some memorabilia.

I miss this dude so much sometimes.

DP2FTV vs. TC_TSS

TRENT CLARK from the Smoking Section dot com hit me up on the Facebook and asked me what was the best record album cover evar.

Now I’m no Dart Adams when it comes to remembering al the album art from since forever but I just happened to have a few album covers on my HD that I enjoy for their photography and their, erm, artistic value.

What I started to think about though was that with the onslaught of digital piracy how much album art wasn’t being witnessed. I wonder if my nigga GEORGE DuBOSE is still taking pics. Anyhoo, so it went down like this…

I threw up an album cover (Spec Boogie’s Kid Gorgeous) and TC replied with MC Pooh (remove that ‘H’ and that is the best emcee name evar).

I threw up another one (Soca Bacchanal – please don’t ask) and TC put up the thread killer. I should have known better than to go in with this dude since he was obviously holding back this gem to smash my fingers with.

Career Juggling Clowns…

Rappers are walking around with guitars without bothering to learn how to play them just like you see kids walking around with skateboards and the wheels are clean and unscuffed.

Posing has reached an all time high.

And who can blame the posers anyhoo? Ponzi schemes are the only reliable economic sector now. Actors tell us who to vote for and why community service is so damn important and then they jet off to Hawaii.

Does anyone make real shit anymore?

JOAQUIN PHOENIX is going to be a rapper? The faux leading the fake.

I fux with 808s & Heartbreak. I will not be fuxing with any of KanYe West acid wash schmatte, or Andre 3000’s dandy vines, or anyone else who sings, raps, chants, spits or otherwise burps into a microphone for a living. I am buying clothes from the people that have spent their life doing that shit for no other glory than the feel of virgin wool knit into a precise loop.

If some rapper actually knit a sweater with their own hands then I would consider buying that because of the commitment required to complete the item, but no one who raps would do that. Ol’ Dirty Bastard might have done that, but he was special. Ever since Puff released SeanJohn everything else has been str8 clownshoes.

Fast forward to 2009 and some of these dudes are on the verge of giving clowns a classy sartorial image.

Smarten up Taz.

MUGSHOT HAIRSTYLE MODELS: SUPER BOWL EDITION

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

Mugshot Hairstyle Modeling school has been on hiatus while we tried to straighten out some of the financial aid issues of our students. In a floundering economy you generally see an increase in the number of Mugshot Hairstyle Modeling school applicants.

This week we travel to Tampa Bay Florida, the location for Super Bowl XVIII, to meet and greet some of the lovely Mugshot Models who are competing in the streetwalker face off. Prostitution is sometimes referred to as the oldest profession, but I have to disagree with this on two counts. First, what was the profession that gave people the money to give to the prostitute? And second, why are there no professional organizations for prostitution to aid these “professionals” with health care and legal services, when necessary?

Anyhoo, DP dot com has love for the ladies that take it on the chin while laying on their backs. If there is one place these professionals can get some shine it is here.

I favored shorty who looks like Janet Jackson’s illegitimate daughter from DeBarge, but then I realized how much I loved Hilary Swank.

The off the shoulder look is still a winner 9 out of 10 times, but that is such a nice purple sweater.
