"Jamaica Not So Nice!" -Cleaning Up the Yard!

Yo! You remember this joint right HERE! This ad did for Jamaica what that damn grill did for George Foreman! I heard stories about guys booking flights all the way out to the "Yard" (one way tix mind you)
and getting off the plane holding up the poster asking "Yo, WHERE can I find this girl?" With Billy Ocean's "Caribbean Queen" blasting in their headphones (LOL). Nowadays "Yankees" of a different kind are coming out to "Jam Rock" holding up a different kind of poster! A WANTED one! For Christopher "Dudus" Coke, wanted in the U.S. on gun and drug trafficking charges! Reports out of Kingston last Tues. say that "Dudus" has been arrested finally. After damn near four days of gun battles between security forces and his supporters that left 76 people dead! I read somewhere that he was caught en route to the U.S. Embassy in Kingston accompanied by yet ANOTHER Rev. Al (no NOT the Rev. Al we all know). Admit it, it WOULD be mad funny if their Rev. Al was the Jamaican version of ours. LOL! Now outside of all this stuff happening down there, what I couldn't make sense of is WHY would a drug dealer go by the nickname "Dudus", if your last name was "Coke" ALREADY? "Chris Coke"... maybe? Just a suggestion rude boy! On another note, rumor has it that the young lady (well young at the time) pictured in the poster, is divorced w/ child. Owns a "on the low" good weed/bad roti spot, and is living on Kingston (Ave...in Brooklyn that is) and is working "Rihanna hard" to get back in shape for the anniversary version of this poster. MILF is chilling, Giz is chilling! What more can I say?

"Bush DOES Care About Black People!" -Blame It On The Irish Whiskey

Wait...Did I tell you the other day how I got a call from the "ring leader" Ouigi of the Brooklyn Circus about some casting for a Irish whiskey ad was taking place, come dressed and meet him over at the casting location with L.A. (of the Stylistics Agency)? Well anyways, after we did the casting shoot for the ad, not but a week after we get called back saying we've made it, come down for the actual shoot (with this world renown Brit photog) AND we'll be paid young CA$H money for the day. "Ummm, hello work? I'm not feeling well I'll be in tomorrow!" Feel me? So the shoot was for Bush Mills (yeah we NEVER heard of it either), and their angle was to shoot groups of friends that have a certain energy between them, and look as if they actually drink the stuff. The shoot was damn near the WHOLE day, but trust me I'm NOT complaining. Free food, DRINKS, dope vibe AND pocket money...yeah I can get use to that. Once "the Bush" started flowing so did the jokes, all in all a good time was had. The photog dug us so much we were asked to stay a while longer! Hey, maybe someone's wallet was missing and just wanted us to stick around till it showed up..who knows? Just jokes. Just giving you a heads up if you open up the next Esquire or GQ and you see ya boys posted up in that piece, you'll know the story behind all that. And if it DOESN'T show up Bush Mills WILL get a call from Sharpton trust me on that one! LOL. Btw, Ouigi says to send names to rsvp@theBKCircus.com for the BKC's 1st holiday office party NEXT Saturday's blast off!

"Why Did The (Obama Fried) Chicken Cross The Road?" -Restaurant In Deep Fried Contorversy

Have you been following all the news coverage about this fast food spot (there are actual 3 spots) that are using the "Obama" name to sell their deep fried dishes? Why all the fuss? Obama's a black man (if you hadn't noticed), and black men and fried chicken don't mix. For YEARS folks got away with using the "Kennedy" name to hawk their fried foods. And if you ask me all "Crown" is is just code word for "King"...as in Martin Luther! Am I buggin' out? Just think about that one. Well anyways, to fan the flames down, our great Prez. (straight from his flight from London) went to the source in Brooklyn, to see why folks feathers are all ruffled up. Figuring "If my name is gonna be on something, I may as well like it right?" Not one to miss out on a meal, Sharpton joined him for the "taste test." The results? The Prez. came out all smiles and said "I'd give it a thumbs up, but I'm to busy lickin'em!" So relax folks, don't go burning down the "fried chicken coop" in protest. It's all (finger lickin') good in the hood!

"Post Return To Sender"- Really? You Serious? On Blk History Month! Come On Now!

Honestly I NEVER liked the NY Post. Their paper's approach to news seem always tabloid-like to me. So when folks start rallying for a boycott, I've been on that kick for a min already! Even more so now that they have the mind-less audacity to publish this cartoon featured above, and feel that they were just doing so w/no malice intent...
huh? There's this line that Deniro says in "Casino" that reminds me of this situation "You're either in on it, or you're too stupid to figure it out! Either way you're OUTTA here!" Meaning if the cartoonist didn't THINK it may come across as offensive, then the NY Post editors could have seen a red flag go up. I'm betting there wasn't a single person of color in the room when the decision was made to go to print with this. Not one. I'm with Sharpton on this one folks. The next time I even SEE a Post, it better be wrapped around old fish or dog $#it! Straight up! Now let someone drawn one with the Post cartoonish shot on the ground! Watch folks be up in arms then!

"It's Jeese...Mr. Jackson If Your Nasty!"- JJ's Not So Dy-no-mite Comments

Once again it seems like the Obama campaign hits yet another bump in the road to get to the White House. This time it comes from an unexpected (but yet expected) source, Rev. Jeese Jackson. In a taped interview w/Fox News, JJ turned it into "Open Mic Night" when not realizing his mic was still on, whispered some hater type rhetoric about O-biddy's recent comments about Fatherhood (or rather lack of) in the black community. Crazy huh? Especially being that Jackson fathered a love child himself! A reverend but no father is he. Well thanks to a great source of mine inside the Barack camp, I have the rare op of letting you guys read 'Bama's taped phone reaction to the Rev's hateration:

Dammmn Jess! I know we not boys like that but, for real...you straight hated on me like we "frienemies" or something. I know you not still mad I charged you to get in to one of my fund raisers Oprah threw huh? Then how you gon' say you gonna "Cut my nuts" like you grimy like that "Mr. Rainbow Coalition?" Two wrongs make you a Reverend Wright homey! You do know this right? You operation PUSH me, am a push right back Jay! You know how "the Man" is trying to break us up like an '80's boy band, and here you go talking out yo neck about ya man "O"! But trust me Jack, I got something for that ass! I'm a put the convo we had, with you crying like a bitch to come back, out on a mixtape and call it "No More Good Times for JJ" See if you like getting embarrassed then Jess! AND I'm gonna have your own son host it too...Okay? You see where Hillary is at now don't you? If I EVER hear about...wait...hold on...It's Al (Sharpton) on the other line. I'll hit you right back. Click!

"Get Wild & Noose"-Bad Karma (Loop)

Ummm, can someone please explain this one to me...Slowly?
It seems like someone up at Disney decided that this would make an attractive pendent around someone neck. And Karmaloop.com thought it would be an even brighter idea to sell'em. Take notice that they were "wise" (sarcasticly speaking) not to have an African-American model for this shoot. Cause if so, you know Sharpton would have a gold FOOT on a chain, up the company's ass. Get caught wearing that in certain circles, you'll be wearing two hands around ya neck in place of the chain my friend. LOL! Well hopeful you're not as dumb as you look, to fall for this "fool's gold!" Even rappers are smart enough to know, not to get this make into a chain. Now shit got me thinking, what's next? A gold crack pipe and golden rocks around a charm bracelet? The price of Gold has just gone down. Disney/Karmaloop you just hung ya self!

"For Whom Shall the Bell Toll" -Sean Bell trial starts

Today, after much speculation and heated debates about the actual events that transpired on Nov 25th 2006, the real battle will begin in court. As finally the Sean Bell officers go to trial, in hopes of clearing their names and recounting the actions that lead to the shooting death of the soon to be married, unarmed 23yr. old man. Believing that someone in the company of Mr. Bell
(who was celebrating his bachelor party at a local strip club) was armed, cops today will argue that they opened fire in self-defense, fearing for THEIR lives.
The community, and America in general has heard this story one too many times, and seek answers to this disease plaguing Americans...
African-American in particular. Will justice be served? Don't believe the hype. The only ones getting served are "Just Us." I say get Obama in on this one, cause Sharpton ain't as "sharp" as he used to be. Lol
