The Truth about DPQ
Truth is, Disheveled Prom Queen wasn't the Prom Queen at all.
In fact, she couldn't even get a date to the prom.
She waited and waited for someone to ask her, but no one did.
So in a DPQ style act of desperation, ended up asking four different guys, who all said, "No."
DPQ strongly feels that being unable to get a date may just be what happens when a NewYorican coffee extra cream lookin girl gets taken out of Brooklyn and put into a semiaffluent Central NJ suburb lacking in ehtnic diversity.
Just a theory.
Anyway, back to the tragic tale.
So,
My girls and I actually ran with a crew of dudes from a different town anyway.
They dug up one of the boys from that crew to stand in as my prom date.
He was aight. Not a lot goin on upstairs.
His hair was a James Dean-ish greaser mechanic type of look, which was the best part.
And he did rock the chucks with his suit.
DPQ was really hatin on the whole Prom thing anyway, so in protest wore plaid Doc Martin boots with her vintage 1940's Jazz Singer dress.
mm hmm, she possessed a fly-ness even back then that dudes could not understand.
DPQ said about two words to her prom date.
Spent about 10 minutes at her prom because she thought is was so lame.
Thought smokin L's in the limo the was the best part.
After the prom, DPQ's crew hit the Jersey Shore. of course.
Another thing her being from New York self really couldn't appreciate.
And the most important thing was,
DPQ knew she wasn't going to be giving it up to James Dean that night.
Cuz he was only aight.
Not to worry cuz here's what happened next.
While she and her possee were listening to Cypress Hill's hits from the bong and, you know,
hittin the Graphix, getting ready to go hit the boardwalk,
they all got to listen to her one girl givin it up to her man on Prom night.
This girl was loud.
DPQ ditched the James Dean mechanic and ended up one nighting some dude on the beach.
Jersey Shore style.
Not to worry tho, cuz when we got back to the house,
we all got to hear the same girl that was givin it up to her man when we left,
giving it up to the James Dean greasy mechanic.

Re: Sneakin a Freak In
Before you go thinkin your girl B is all hip-hop, let me remind you, that I am disheveled.
Been a straight mess for years.
In a past life, I was even married, raising a small child.
And yeah, at one point there were lofty aspirations to be a husband and wife musical duo.
Let me tell you, them dreams were squashed with heaps of reality and a lack of creative compatibility.
Kindred, we did not become.
except in the context of this song to the extent which is that when you have a small child ruling the schedule, you do have to work it out to get it in.
This post is not meant to be a reminisce to back when me -n- the baby fadda used to do "it",
but really more of a chance to share this very nice, very funky, tune by Philly's own, Kindred.
Cuz I was listening to it today in the car, and the tune be bumpin. Moms and Dads turn it up.
And honestly, I don't even think you need to have kids to appreciate the fact that in this busy world, you gotta sneak that stuff in to make it happen sometimes.

Columbian Gangsta Rap
So yeah, before I get caught with my light shinin too bright, let me introduce another side to hip-hop's influence on International culture.
You see, while I get hype on Choquibtown as my example of Colombian hip-hop because they fuse together the traditional music with hip-hop and also have a female in the group, a co-worker of mine who is Colombian, does not share my enthusiasm.
To not hurt my feelings when I asked him if he thought Choquibtown was korny, he replied,
"It is just not my thing. You should check out La Etnnia. Colombian gangsta rap."
So I did. and honestly, right now, between listening to my boy speak spanish to latin customers and from listening to Choquibtown and La Etnnia, can I just say, I am so hooked on the flow of Colombian Spanish. but man, it is a little bit hard for me to "de-cipher" heh heh
Check this vid:
So can I just gush and drawl over the anime in this video?
La Etnia still doing what hip-hop does best; expose what is really going on.
It is a much darker approach, certainly more gangsta in feel, but still, bringing the darkeness to light.
The title of the track "Malvado Intento" means, "Evil doer's attempt" and as we see from the video, there is some shadiness going on.
So yeah, Hip-hop Colombiano, hittin the spot for the more rebellious youth culture.

Hip-hop's influence in Sengal
Among the random sardonic comments this blog contains there will be a thread of positivity concerning hip-hop's influence on global culture.
The video below is just such an example of that:
In 2007, Nomadic Wax and a crew called African Underground teamed up to do a project that documents hip-hop's influence in helping folks work through political issues within Dakar, Senegal.
Peep the youtube to watch the whole documentary.
This is really positive stuff.
And I wonder if Chuck D knows that he helped pop off this movement.

Skinny Jeans on Men

the relevancy of Computer Love
You know, we are in a time where unless you are so lucky,
most humans are saturated with social media.
Along with the typical social media sites, I do subscribe to an internet dating web-site which I hesitantly explore, when I am especially bored, called OkCupid.
(Lovingly called "OKC" by those who frequent it.)
Cuz not even one or two of my close friends, but more have met and even married through
such means.
So yeah, not so much because I am into internet dating, but more because I have a thing for electronic soul music with an utterly vintage feel, I mean putting me back to my childhood in NY type of vibe, we're gonna throw this one up here.
So can I just react to this tune by saying.....nuff said.
Here's the thing....this Album dropped in '85. Don't know about you, but was there internet in an acessible way back then?
Cuz I am thinking not only is this song so excellent, but completely science fiction futuristic.
Only thing is, if you are a dude I just e-mailed this to, you just got played, cuz you're not the first.
