My life isn't crazy, but yeah, I can roll with that!

SUMMER 2010, HERE I COME.
HOLLA.

I Think You've Missed This One

Yep, I'm sure you've missed this one, but either way it was pretty great, I didn't get the chance to see Blood Orange because A) I'm not familiar with Lightspeed Champion, so my interest for that was pretty low and B) I left right after my hour and a half set cause I had classes the next day and I take my eight hours very very very seriously.

If you missed this one, come to the next Platform party! We're currently within planning talks, so I can't really tell you much, but it's gonna be fucking MAYJAH blud, booze DJs and all INNIT! We're turning ONE YEAR OLD TRICK, it's a must-come-to.

"I'D DIE FOR MY NIGGAS"

X Gon Give It To Ya, What??

This is fucking funny:

Are you following the presidential race?
Not at all.

You’re not? You know there’s a Black guy running, Barack Obama and then there’s Hillary Clinton.
His name is Barack?!

Barack Obama, yeah.
Barack?!

Barack.
What the fuck is a Barack?! Barack Obama. Where he from, Africa?

Yeah, his dad is from Kenya.
Barack Obama?

Yeah.
What the fuck?! That ain’t no fuckin’ name, yo. That ain’t that nigga’s name. You can’t be serious. Barack Obama. Get the fuck outta here.

You’re telling me you haven’t heard about him before.
I ain’t really paying much attention.

I mean, it’s pretty big if a Black…
Wow, Barack! The nigga’s name is Barack. Barack? Nigga named Barack Obama. What the fuck, man?! Is he serious? That ain’t his fuckin’ name. Ima tell this nigga when I see him, “Stop that bullshit. Stop that bullshit” [laughs] “That ain’t your fuckin’ name.” Your momma ain’t name you no damn Barack.

So you’re not following the race. You can’t vote right?
Nope.

Is that why you’re not following it?
No, because it’s just—it doesn’t matter. They’re gonna do what they’re gonna do. It doesn’t really make a difference. These are the last years.

But it would be pretty big if we had a first Black president. That would be huge.
I mean, I guess…. What, they gon’ give a dog a bone? There you go. Ooh, we have a Black president now. They should’ve done that shit a long time ago, we wouldn’t be in the fuckin’ position we in now. With world war coming up right now. They done fucked this shit up then give it to the Black people, “Here you take it. Take my mess.”

Right, exactly.
It’s all a fuckin’ setup. It’s all a setup. All fuckin’ bullshit. All bullshit. I don’t give a fuck about none of that.

We could have a female president also, Hillary Clinton.
I mean, either way it doesn’t matter. I don’t care. No one person is directly affected by which president, you know, so what does it matter.

Yeah, but the country is.
I guess. The president is a puppet anyway. The president don’t make no damn decisions.

The president…they don’t have that much authority basically?
Nah, never.

But Bush pretty much…
You think Bush is making fuckin’ decisions?

He did, yeah, he fucked up the country.
He act like he making decisions. He could barely speak! He could barely fuckin’ speak! Can’t be serious. He ain’t making no damn decisions.

Well Barack has a good chance of winning so that might be something.
Good for him, good for him.

We're all going to die.

Old School DMX Interview with Hot97's Funkmaster Flex.
I heard DMX is still pretty much OD grimy in jail, punching jail guards in the face and shit.

Corrup-shun!!!!11

I'm at CTRL+ALT+SHIFT's Unmasks Corruption exhibition this 5th of November since I've got a story illustrated by Woodrow Phoenix in their new comic book. Because I love illustrations, I'm getting pretty EXCITED about seeing the book (Ferry Gouw's in there as well, oh boy, oh boy!)

I don't know how these things work, I'll try not to be sloppy and shit and I'll take phone pics of cool people drinking champagne (if there is any).

And I found this quite amusing:

Vice: How did you get involved in the project? Jason: We’d worked as a team in advertising and had both gone freelance afterwards. My friend John Dunning, who I’ve collaborated on pitches with before, asked me to do something for the CAS Unmasking Corruption project and suggested I collaborate with this writer from Haiti – but that would be silly when there’s so much violence and corruption in South Africa. So I phoned Kate and we got together to make a proper South Africa story.

Hahahahahhahahahahahahhahhahahahahahahaha, I like Jason Masters, he would've adapted my story pretty well I think. But, FUCK THAT, Woodrow Phoenix took it to the ballpark, awesome, awesome job.

I wrote a short (debatable) blog about all of that on Platform few weeks ago, if you're not into reading the CAS Comics Vice interview, (it's almost the same shit, just different subjects, be aware, except of course mine's not an interview, obviously, but you get the point)

40oz Bounce - Harlem/Riversiiiiiide

My three months at home in 'rehab' have called it quits on me. It's loads of bullshit, and we all wished summer would last at least a month longer, but whateva - it was fun whilst it all lasted.

Final send-off happened in Harlem, with my homies at A.L.I.E.N NYC, and 'Van' (who's one massive dude, with amazing pot brownies). The 40oz Bounce Boys always do a great job at bringing all the dopest kids out, from the L.E.S, Brooklyn, and Harlem's very own. And that shit goes down every summer.

Holla At The Empire State, Would You Please!

Bushwick, Where You At?

I love how ridiculous house parties with boozed up teens can get, but nothing is better than simulated sex positions, grinding to dancehall, and getting ear-raped by some Yuksek and Major Lazer. It's not a party until someone gets laid and something gets broken. Isn't this what summer is all about? FUCK YEAH.

Ninjasonik, Tell 'Em How It's Done,

Exactly.

Gang Bang at Ground Zero!

Back from a lovely month break, Man! Trying to resist posting stuff I've liked in a matter of days proved to be harder than I'd expected, fuck, specially when the lovely Dash Snow dies, (FUUUCK THIS). That being said, I'm looking at another one of these motherfucking breaks right now, shit feels good.

You know what else feels goooood? ZaZa's Sooner or Later.

I think ZaZa as a whole is just great. You can sleep with that shit on and it wouldn't bother you, you can go skinny dipping, whilst the sun sets, with this playing on an 8-track recorder and it still wouldn't bother you. For the first time in 19 years I want summer to end quickly.

Hope you're not out there taking your clothes off for free, I mean, for kicks.

Amen,

Summer & Its Breaks

So, the weather has gotten its shit together over here in New York lately, and it's increasingly hard to stay in on a computer taping away, whilst there are babes in shorts riding up in down the breezy parks these days. I'm doing like all my favourite music blogs, and going on a hiatus! and you should too! get out, for fuck's sake, it's fucking SUMMA!


I'll be writing more stuff for Platform though, and Chief as well, and shooting people with my lenses, because nice weather makes you do that.

But the best part of this little break, is possibly the work me and Hems (at City-Slick) are getting started on : 60 French Girls (Can't Be Wrong). It's going to be fucking A-team, because we're gathering the best creative heads we know to spew out bollocks on this project!

If you want in, shoot us an email.

Peace, mofuckas!
