25 Jul
Last week was so dopes!
1st things 1st! Come to this! My Bday is on August 2nd. But I am celebrating on the 28th!
I am beat, pissed and happy all a the same time,
I am beat because as usual I have been very busy.
Pissed because I got kicked out of the Beacon Theater tonight. ( more on that in a min)
I am happy because I am living out my dreams !
So check it out...last week was banging!
Tuesday was retarded. I hung out with my friend/acclaimed photographer Kareem Black
at the LRG photo shoot/Jumpie.
Loads of folks came through....like
Jazzy Jeff & Pete fucking Rock!
Tons of girls where there...my favorite of the day might have been
Her! “Love”!!
Peep the other pics here: www.villageslum.com
Wednesday was historic!
I got of the train on 42nd. I was walking east. I cross Lexington. I hear mad sirens.
I look north and I see this
At 1st I wanted to walk up there and check shit out, but I wanted to make it to the Super Bad screening.
So, I made a call to find out wtf was going on. Some pipes or what ever blew up, so I said fuck it...
took a few pics and then headed over to the theater to see the funniest fucking film I have seen in a minute thanks to Joey of Taste.
After the flick we went over to Room Service for the Trace Mag Black Girls Rules
Issue release jumpie. Only thing is there was not many black girls there.
No hate, but it just made me go hmmmmmmm.
After Room Service we headed over to the New Jack Swing jumpie I was in on at Lotus
Lots of folks came out
Like Carl Thomas
&
Dana Dane. Who is pictured here and down there with
my “love” of the night.
Fast forward to 4am.
The Jumpie is over.
I walk over to Apt
Look in the DJ booth
And I see this
Mos and Tip free styling over some wicked ass beat.
Wow!
Thursday’s Fancy Jam was sick again!
Friday..rest
Saturday..fish fry/fight party. L that fish was BANGING!
Sunday....
Ilona and I laid out all day in Central Park. You have not done NY until you do this shit!
It’s like one of the most peaceful things to do in NY.
After my relaxing afternoon
I managed to get kicked out of the Historic Beacon Theater.
I didn’t do anything! I had a press pass. The lady just bugged fir no reason.
I am going to write a whole blog on this so be on the look out.
I love hip hop/I hate hip hop! Lil Wayne killed shit from the little bit that I saw.
Make sure you peep all the pics on the site!
