yeah, that’s the longest title i’ve ever had on this blog. but this is pretty huge! bill o’reilly and dennis miller (yeah, the comedian. his political commentary is incredible though.) criticize rappers young jeezy and jay-z for their “my president is black” performance in DC over inauguration weekend.
i think that dennis miller keeps it as trill as possible, and while o’reilly is always a jackass, his reasoning is pretty sound. i hear both sides, though. they weren’t trying to be racist, but they were simply expressing their joy with the fact that just a couple decades ago, black people were being hosed, hung, beaten, killed, shot, for nothing. now, a person with the same skin tone is running the country. i can’t call it just yet. what do you think!?

my man adrian hooked me up with vimby’s crucial footage of a definite highlight from over inauguration weekend, the stussy x commonwealth inaugural bash. check it below.
everybody came out. wale was in there posted like a lamp, 9th wonder was spinning classics on the 1’s and 2’s, bun b was leaning a bit, and yelling out every word of every track 9th threw on the turntables (in a much higher-pitched voice than i would have expected. i mean, i’m not saying he had a high-pitched voice. but go listen to those tracks, his voice is booming. in person, it doesn’t really sound like that. just a mere observation. i know there are some co-signers out here on that statement!) i arrived as david banner was being escorted into the store from his luxurious whipsicle, and saw the big ass crowd that a party with this type of hype attracts. i was taken aback, but luckily i caught j.ben.ok outside, and him and jay promo got me in that joint with the quickness. shout out to those two, otherwise i’d still be out in the cold.

once i got in there, it was glorious. i got a chance to chop it up with everybody. dizzy was in there, taking flicks like the local celebrity he is. X.O. and benji were in there having a great time. i finally met oddisee, the man who i used to harrass to help me make beats back two years ago. really cool guy, and my favorite producer out of the DMV by far. he can rap too, look out for some of his new stuff on here soon! oh, and i had to school VJ on his twitter game, because it was limbo pole low. yikes. met a bunch of cool people, and saw some of the sexiest ladies i’ve ever seen in the area. i always feel like they only come out on nights like that, because i can’t ever find them otherwise. somebody tell them to holler at me, man. you already know i’m a shy guy.
highlight of the night? my man lucas hooked me up with the collector’s tees. you know i’m frugal, but i had to let people know i was around for the day history was made. 1.20.09, aka “yes we did day” in my book.
shout out to everybody who came out, and to stussy and commonwealth, for putting on something special, and adrian and the others involved in the coordination. that whole DMV scene, if i can call it that without sounding lame, is a great community. happy i’m a part of it.

yeah, they’re not brand new. i don’t give a flying 747 though. my job is to make you jam incredible songs, regardless of when they were released.
everybody voted this year, and it’s great. i’m out here watching CNN, checking facebook statuses and away messages like a e-stalker, and i only see support for this man. i felt like nasir jones deserved to be highlighted today, as he was one of the first artists who made a sincere song about the potential future of america. shout out to my man daniel, he is one of the biggest nas fans i know, as well as a hardcore barack fan. lol so this goes out to young daniel! he also hooked me up with a free meal in the cafeteria last night. ha. also, shout out to 106 & park’s terrence j, as well as BET for getting the african-american community very involved with this election. he represented on CNN today, and held it down. i was impressed.
bump all that. record turnouts at the polls mean change. let’s get it. bump these like they’re something you jam on a victory lap.
