how much coke…
…do you think these guys were doing to dress like this? Holy Christ. I once read an interview with Melle Mel where he was talking about being fried to the gills with his crew at the Limelite (or some famous NYC club) sitting across the bar from Billy Idol and/or Gen X, who were on smack. And Russell Simmons was running around forcefeeding drugs to anyone who’d take ‘em. No wonder the scene imploded. But can you imagine being a fly on the wall back then? I’d give my eyeteeth for one night.
Whoa
1997 all over again…
Here’s a good shot of Eric, Rick and Mike with Kanye while Spike Jonze was filming his new video recently somewhere in LaLa Land. I remember the guys were cast in the ‘Benjamins’ video when Spike was working with egomaniac Puff Daddy Combs. I was getting daily updates (on my landline – it was 1997) about how crazy the shit was. The shoot was one big party and pretty much all the Girl Skateboards dudes had little cameos. 12 years later: same deal, different egomaniac. Pretty rad shot, thanks Tone. I hear the video’s gonna be dope which is cool because Kanye’s new album sure isn’t. And I’m not hatin’ – I dig Kanye – but everyone blows it once in a while.
Girls dudes. Only time in suits since Tony's wedding
So…ig'nant…and hysterical
I can’t believe I’m posting this thing the day before one of the biggest events in my lifetime. Why? Because this thing seriously illustrates the level of ignorance of Lil Jon et al. Back in the day, being a young Black dude and hip hop diehard, I used to constantly defend my music to the uneducated. But this shit is indefensible. But so, so funny when put in this context:
Office Ninja sh*t.
I got a box of these things coming from the boys at Mat Cult/Chromoly. They will definitely serve to re-establish my dominance around the office as my brief holiday stint somehow rendered my rep open game. A guy goes away for a week, comes back to a gang of new nicknames, homoerotic screensavers and re-arranged furniture. Hardy fuckin har guys. I’ll casually flip these things around during my meetings, but in a threatening manner. Much like smiling at someone, putting your hand on their shoulder, leaning close and saying something like “I plan to take your life in the very near future”. Casually threatening. I think that will be the term for 2009. You can order these things at www.matcult.com
