"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt.113)

Now this one took me totally by surprise! I remember seeing it in my inbox ealier during the week, and it completely slipped mind (memo to self: pick more Ginkgo asap). Daoud (Coup D'Etat) hit me up and suggested I stop through that's the only way I remembered. otherwise would've missed it altogether. Whew! And good thing I didn't, it was well worth more than the $3 donation @ the door. The "Creative Heights" are continuing to make their make on the art scene with the movement they got going. Keep up the GREAT work(s)!

"No Love Inn Deed!" -Sorry We're Closed

Yeah man, sad to say it but tonight and basically every other Wednesday night after that, that new after work spot I was kicking it too you about (the Inn -W.12th st. & 9th ave.) will be a dead issue, finished, over and done, taking a dirt nap, sleeping with the fishes, shot from the grassy knoll, in a pine box, 6 ft. under, worm food, ancient history, fin. Kamikaze'd, stick a fork in it, no overtime, extinct, it's wrap city! We shall return!

"What's Beef?" -When Burger King(dom) Come!

Ummm, can somebody please tell me when did Burger King turn gangster? First, I started noticing the change in accessories. A pinky ring, plus a two finger ring (?) that probably reads "BK", and that HUGE (Nas QB like) medallion piece now hanging from his neck! Then they go and add the (wink) "BK (W)rapper" to their menu. Now not only are they firing "BK Shots", they're looking for "Burger Virgins" world wide! What next a slogan that reads "Have it your mother f@#*in' way Son?" or even gullier "You want beef with me?" And don't think I didn't notice the "two guns firing " pose he's doing in this promo picture here, circulating on the web! I overheard somewhere that you have to be "jumped in" to work there now? Word? Boy I tell you, time are getting tough nowadays. Mickey D's is even doing R&B Chicken McNugget videos and we're supposed to be moving ahead?

"Flashing Lights" -Paparazzi Pics (Pt.112)

You heard of that group Chester French right...Don't believe the hype! And trust me I didn't, but now I do! After an ungodly amount of time spent traveling underground for a commute (in my own boro mind you) to get over to the Puma 60 event in Williamsburg. I made it in just enough time to catch just one act, Pharrell's latest obsession and Star Trak's newest artist Chester French. The crowd was "Olson twin thin" made up of mostly young soon to be hipsters (what else, it's in Willy B). The "French" band went into their set like it was a full house anyway like all good performers should. After a few songs in a watching the lead singer "stage swag" (for lack of a better word) I too became a deflector to the "French." Sadly, my train ride was actually longer than the show was, but hey, that's MTA for ya whadayougonnado?

"Heard Any Good Tip's Lately?" -Q-Tip Show & Mini Album Review

Question, are you planning to attend that Q-Tip show at the Nokia Theater tonight? Well I guarantee you that you won't have to wait on any long lines, and have to fight your way to the front of the stage to get "Tip Juice" splashed on you (ummm, by that I mean sweat folks, you nasty). Oh...how come? Simple, it's not gon' be there tonight. Yep, no lie it's been moved to the Highland Ballroom venue to accommodate the turn-out expected. So don't head over to the Nokia, ticket in hand, in the bleeding cold, sitting out front looking stupefied. I TOLD you man in advance! Thank me l8r.

"Abstract Art"- The Renaissance Review
Have you picked it up yet? Okay, but have you LISTENED to it? I mean sit down and give it your utmost attention? Nice right? It's good to know that he still respects the craftsmanship of rapping and still knows that you can push the boundaries and come out on top. Off the bat, the two dance floor fillers I dig are "Gettin' Up!" (which is the 1st single) and "Move" (that samples "Dancing Machine" by the Jackson 5 quite nicely). If you've been missing and longing for a Tribe reunion you'll still have to wait. Dang! He could've thrown Phife on at least ONE joint right?! Come on, 8 bar even? Lol, go get it NOW!

"You, Me & She" -The Presidential Sweet!

"Jay cheating on Bey ALREADY!?!" you ask. Nah bro, it's not what it looks like. These three will spend a night toget-

-Elect Barack Obama's Inauguration in January (the 20th, as a matter o' fact, which by the way some folks and myself have planned a trip too BTW). More artist will be announced later in the month scheduled to perform as well. FYI TODAY(!) people, will be the very last day for $75 dollar ticket sells! So unless you're part of the bail-out plan, I suggest you get while the gettin' s good!

"Weezy, Yeezy, Sound Uneasy!" - YouTube 'Toon Takes On These Rap Stars...And Wins!

Don't ask how I came across this, but HAD to give it further inspection. Only three words came to mind when I was done, HILL LARRY US! Come give it a look see, but keep the laughter down in your cubicle please. It's already bad enough that you took an extra day off Wednesday for the holiday weekend.
