"Lady Sings the Ill Street Blues"-Amanda Diva @ S.O.B.'s

Hip-Hop is NOT dead, it's just dealing with growing pains. At the forefront of this "evolution" is this young lady you see to your left (Amanda Diva's the name.) Her lyrics are definitely conversation starters...the good ones. Well there's word around the campfire that she's slated to perform at the now 25 yrs (and going strong) old and Neo-Soul's most intimate venue S.O.B.'s this Wednesday (12th). And get this, Talib Kwali will be doing the hosting honors , with Peter Hadar on board to boot. Powerful stuff right there man! We'll officially forgive her to standing us up at YUME once those VIP passes are in hand lol. Serious face.

"Everybody 1, 2, Stretch"- the Fly Spy

ATTENTION HIPSTERS!
Sorry to tell you (not really), but you are NOT the pioneer of fashion that you think you are! The deep V-neck, the enormous white sunglasses, the colored pencil thin
stretch jeans
(what else could he wear?), all those things, you have to credit Plastic Man for rocking first.
While getting fitted for his costume as a fighter of crime,
"Plas" had a moment of inspiration and said
to his tailor
"Hey, you think you can make the neck line a wee bit deeper?"
"There's no reason I can't bring sexy back while bringing
the crime rate down...right?"
And viola', the style yet to be trend was created.
Word has it that the other "Supes" frowned upon "the P. Man"
and his new fashion statement saying,
"You need to humble yourself when you're catching bad guys!"
"Picking up chicks, is a distraction in this line of work dude."
However Plastic Man stayed the course and joking replied
"Well BOO HOO, they've mainly upset that I can stretch every part of my body...EVERY part (wink) and the ladies dig me for it," "Knowhatimasyin'?"
Well years later we FINALLY get it, and so does the kids of L.E.S. and Williamsburg. You were the first to stretch the limits of men's fashion and the Minority Report salutes you.
