EPMD-Back in Business

Privileged to see the album release party for EPMD new album " We Mean Business". Album out now. They're back in business and Judging by Parish Smith's big smiles, they were happy to be there. I can't recommend the album yet, but I can recommend the group!

Coup D'Etat ( Clothing Line Brother Omi will LOVE)

I bought a black and metallic " Teach the Babies" t-shirt in Harlem and then Rocked it to EPMDeee's album release last night.  Eric Sermon and Parish Smith are making dollars again. Peace to D.J. K-Salaam for putting me on the list and spinning a great show..and to Bouncer Mike for making me tell him jokes to actually get inside. 

I bought this shirt because Dan Tres (aka Brother Omi) is always talking about the babies and what they learn.  Now this is when the post gets messed up....Danny ( mi maestro) I ALMOST bought you a tee and mailed it to you.Almost.

...but yeeaah bruh its a recession. So just so you know that I thought about you I'm telling you about Coup D'Etat. Click the Link and Go cop somethin'

Was Juno ( the Movie) A Ripoff?

People love to hawk movies in this country from Asia as tho there is no internet.  I recently worked a gig here in NY with a korean woman named Juna Lee...so her name started this conversation. Apparently there is a Korean comedy movie called Jenny, Juno written and directed by Kim-Jo Hoon. It's about a middle school girl and her boyfriend who gets pregnant and then delivers. Sounds a little familiar but even though the Korean and American versions are dead on screen writter Diablo Cody says she never knew it existed. I guess that's possible...

Naaah Kehinde Wiley this doesn't sit well

I've been off my blogging game lately. My bad. But Yashua Klos told me to tell it like it is so... 

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to go up to harlem and check out Kehinde Wiley as he spoke about his latest exhibition " The World Stage:Africa".  I've had convos with friends about Kehinde's artwork. Originally my reaction to his work was total awe and in time it turned to " what on earth?".  

Kehinde has become famous for painting image after image of gigantic black men in traditional european poses. They are gorgeous and technically sick.  But there are so MANY of them after awhile I began to question his message? I guess it was supposed to be ironic, but It began to seem like he wanted to make black men dignified by making them act non-black. One friend defended him saying that Kehinde's idea was that because we (blacks) are not repped in history he was "painting us in". I said " really, well that's cool". So when the opportunity presented itself I had to ask Kehinde what the real deal was ( turns out btw I wasnt the only audience member disturbed). 

He fumbled a little as he said he was fascinated by european art and he found it the utmost in dignity and wanted to depict the men this way (paraphrasing). It kind of makes me sad. With the many many gigantic and time consuming paintings he did this is the best way he found to make that point. And then he turned it into a gimmick. I've seen at least 17 of them 6 ft tall a piece. Well, we all have to eat and Kehinde is eating well.

Kehinde, babes. This is OUR world every last one of us. White-Black-Yellow-Beige.  There is no longer one standard. Pretty paintings tho, but I'm glad you've moved on. :)

A Cure for AIDS????!!

Cough it the hell up! Big businesses make me ill. People have been thinking cures have existed for decades...and me being the little conspiracy theorist I am...well, you can only imagine whats going thru my head.

A 42 year old American in Berlin has gotten a bone marrow transplant that is usually used for leukemia that has pretty much cured his AIDS symptoms and all sign of the disease. Scratching my head as to why this isn;t front page news. Oh yeah, the republicans are still in office.
(Check out my images-of course these ads come from the French. Smile- I like to keep you folks on your toes.)

RIP MAMA AFRICA...

10th November 2008
Johannesburg

The world was dealt a blow early this morning, in a small town outside Naples, Italy when Zenzile Miriam Makeba..Mama Afrika to the world, passed away.. and left this earth, aged 76 years. She was born on 4th March 1932.

The Money Shot!

Three of us had the same good idea but of course photographer Myron Christian had the best one. These get saved for the grandkids.

Curtains for Caribou Barbie

In a long drawn out email with friends the topic came up as to whether we should tear Palin down after the fact. My vote is " yes". I was accused of not following the "Obama way". Whatever.

I think the woman is dangerous and the policies that put her into office are dangerous. I think a message should be put out that it's no longer acceptable for people to this country based off of shiny smiles and good looks. So when you find out " Palin doesnt' know Africa is a continent not a country" or " she throws temper tantrums and makes her interns cry" or that 'her spending at Saks was abusive and shocking to the donor whose pocket it raped'. Its important to talk about it and bury her with it, so we never see such an arrogant, careless, and ridiculous candidate in our midst again.

They needed to stop comparing her to Hillary and start comparing her to George Bush.

Bye-bye Barbie.

Lyrics on Hope(lessness)-One Loaf of Bread ( Damian Marley)

Yeah!! Christ feed the multitude wid only one loaf a bread

Christ feed the multitude wid only one loaf a bread! Poor people
There is something for you dont let the pressures of the system

Diddy Buys Enyce

Damn...another urban line where the girls are wearing nothing but fur and lipgloss. Oh well, diversity is overrated. I wanna give a shout out to all my homies that got laid off back in the day. And a Rest in Peace to some of my Enyce graphics. I'll see you on the other side Mayne!

The dopest ad I've seen this year.

The dopest ad I've seen this year. Directed by David Fincher (Se7en and Fight Club) the new ad " fate" features Chargers runnning back LaDainian Tomlinson and Steelers Safety Troy Polamalu from them crashing into each other on the field. Looks like the world belongs to Them.

Colin Powell Supports Obama!

Yaaaay! The rumors were true. This is a big step in non-partisanship.  It would be the real deal if Obama puts a republican on his cabinet. It would spell the idea that its more about the issues than the party lines.  The big winner during the Meet the Press is when talking about whether Obama was a Muslim or not Colin Powell says (paraphrasing) :

"He's not, but so what if he is?"

Bout time SOMEone said that. Muslim does not equal evil. 

Colin, Honey- You gets the big kiss.  Muaaah! 

Now i'm going to sit back and wait for the republicans to start pulling the race card....

Obama Ads on XBOX

Eighteen video games, including the extremely popular "Guitar Hero" and "Madden 09," will feature in-game ads from the Obama campaign in the final weeks before the election. The ads -- appearing on billboards and other signage -- remind players that early voting has begun and plug a campaign Web site that encourages people to register for early voting.

The Corporate Edge ( What Are they Smoking Over At Kenneth Cole?)

Aparently the Wild Stuff: Their latest Ad Campaign, We All Walk In Different Shoes shows variety in American Life. A Punjabi Playboy, A double Amputee, An Albino, A Cancer Survivor, A Hasidic Reggae Artist, A Transexual and her boyfriend...

Make up your own mind. All I want to know is who is the new creative director?

Change the Thought Posters

This is Just Cool-Now go Vote.

EX-FELONS CAN VOTE! SPREAD THE WORD...like now!

This is serious, people. Because if you let McCain in, I'm out! I'll be blogging from the Southern tip of Wales. Keep on thinking this is a joke. And PLEASE don't fake like you don't have a crazy uncle Remus that's been locked up...this is not that kind of blog.

The law stating that Ex-Felons can't vote has been disenfranchising Brown and Black people for the better part of this century. What they're saying is: YES we snatch you off the street as soon as look at you and YES we pass out sentences like Jolly Ranchers, And YES we humiliate you in prison, and YES we make it impossible for you to get a job when you get out...but by taking away your right to vote they're saying YOU CANT DO JACK ABOUT IT!

Some of your politicians have been fighting to get rights for ex-felons...that could mean Tens of Thousands of potential voters for Obama. So let your bank robbing Uncle Ro-Ro know: The time is now. We only have a few short days to register.

Thanks to Thanks to The Liberator magazine, UptownLife.Net, Around the Way Girls , T.K. Borsay, Tish Brown, Rashida Harris, D.J. Laylo, and anyone else I'm forgetting for the help spreading the word.

October 8th is the deadline to register.

Awww Mary!

This commercial is so damn cute, Mary J. Blige sits with herself in all her different stages in life...My Mary version is the one with the hat turned to the back that they picked up on the street. Lol. Real Love!
Imagine if Madonna picked up all her different selves. They would have to rent out two minivans! But check out the phrase " the wisdom to leave the baggage behind". While she drops off the bags, nice!

The Liberal Dream Team

I've been slowing down on the whole blog lately–my bad. I've been too caught up in PalinGate. But I'm back and ready for change. Are you?  How about in the form of my new media SuperFriends Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann ( Keith doesn't give a damn what comes out of his mouth, and I'm glad as long as it's left wing).  And for temperance there is the semi-conservative Chris Matthews. The first openly lesbian pundit, Maddow is sharp, saavy and not afraid to go toe to toe with her peers. Matthews and Olbermann are so opinionated that MSNBC demoted them during the Republican Convention to shut them up. The Superfriends are a force to be reckoned with. All they need is an 'S' on their chests.

I'm doing the casting special so Rachel is my Wonder Woman, Keith is my Batman and i'm casting Chris as the Wizard of Oz ( Just because he has a big head and I'm not always sure if he's the good guy).

McCain is Tickle Me Elmo and Obama is The Green Lantern...'cause he's black.

Go team go.

Turbo and the Broom ( Taking you Back )

I just finished watching this. It funny when you take a look back at old "greats", like Purple Rain, they're so bad that they're funny and they're not supposed to be.  Take Breakin' the movie for example.  The guys outfits were strange, the beefs didn't make any sense and the acting was just bad, but I was shocked that even after all this time Turbo's Broom Dance was still the Jam. Timeless.

I'm posting this dance short just for you. Make sure click the word " site  "and watch it...

South African Rap Song Banned for Incitement to Violence

The song ' Get Out' by Zimbabwean-born hip hop artist Zubz has was banned in May 20o8  on the South African Broadcasting Corporation, SABC. The right wing party called Freedom Front Plus stated that the song contained hate speech. { why am i getting this info so late? My South African links ( Shani, Lion ) you guys are letting me down man}.

The crazy thing is that a lot of these African hip hop artists sound straight out of brklyn...but better because they have MUCH better lyrics. I listened to the lyrics of Zubz 'Get Out', sounds like just another track off of a Nas album to me...whats the big deal? If you play this same song in NY it won't do anything-no riots, just a little barbershop talk. Just another argument not to shoot the messenger.

Dag. after doing research I found out that Zubz apologized in May 2008 for the offensive lyrics. This just takes you back to the age old question started with Malcolm X. Is it wrong to respond to injustice and violence with violence? Isn't that equality and survival? And if you don't use violence to demand and insure justice then what are they supposed to be doing Iraq...well, y'all know what they're doing in Iraq. lol.

Come to the site to check out the video.  Here are some of the lyrics:

Tell my people: {Fight!}
Tell the oppressor: {Get Out!}
You know you really need to
{Watch Out}
See, that condescending tone you adopt when you talk to me
Can get your head blown–Serious { Watch Out}
Mistake my kindness for weakness
Just like your forefathers did
I'll blind you with heat quick {Get Out!}

Looking for New Hip Hop?:)

This Labor Day week(end) has been the jam so far. Thanks to those of you that shared it with me.

I jumped at the chance to interview new talent DJ K-Salaam at B.B. Kings this passed Sat for The Liberator Magazine. Why? His first and second c.d.s are named " The World is Ours" and " Whose World is This" respectively. Weird huh? Plus they feat some of my favorite artists, Mos def, Buju Banton, Sizzla,... So The Liberator sends me in to The Black August Benefit featuring: EPMD, Bilal, Joel Ortiz, Q-Tip, DJ Scratch and many more

I'm all excited I'm press y'all, I'm thinking we're going to be back stage sipping passion fruit mojito's with Q-Tip. Not exactly. Me, my +1 and some guy from MTV were standing outside forever. I had to take off my heels, I was waiting so long. It's cool. Aside from the initial confusion the show was exciting.

The Black August Benefit Concert is put together to support political prisoners. If revolution is your thing, so is this following list of underground hip-hop artists:

1) Rebel Diaz- (The DR (?)) Overall this group of 3 is okay but I really like the girl she steals the show in spanish and English

2)Immortal Technique-(Peru). VERY angry. I like that a lot. He's got a big voice for such a little guy

3)Homeboy Sandman (around the corner)-if you've ever ridden the 'F' train you've seen his stupid flyers...he's actually pretty dope. He's got a 90s feel to him, like The Farside, but on speed & better lyrics

4)Blitz the Ambassador-(Ghana) I liked that he rapped with a live band. Hes a little too much like Black Thought of the Roots, and he knows it. But he's still a hot performance.

5) Joell Ortiz-(Puerto Rico) Any minute now he's going to blow up

6) of course DJ K-Salaam:( Iran ) check him out esp. if you're a reggae fan. I don't know how he did it but he made Sizzla and Young Buck sound good....together.

-never thought i would see EPMD live, thnks The Liberator!-

Marijuana, Pu$$y, Cake and Ice Cream

"Mr. Kuti, it has been said that the things you love most in the world....are marijuana...p-p-p-pussy, cake and ice cream. Is this true?" Sahr Nguajah as British Official

"Yesssssssss." Sahr Nguajah as Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.

" And now that we've gotten your attention...". Sahr Nguajah

Fela: A New Musical was playing last night. Off broadway is clearly to big for this program. It was amazing. As evidenced by the long standing ovation at the end. Director Bill T. Jones did his thing with this. And he knew it too because after the show he took his shirt off and got down with the drummers. The music was-of course-crazy but the acoustics made it otherwordly, the mixed media photo projections, creative story interpretation, audience dance lesson, drum solos, Sahr Nguajah's very charismatic portrayal of Fela...amazing! The best way to tell it was sick was that after the show we kept getting pulled into conversation after conversation with strangers with big smiles on their faces saying " so what did you think?"

I think it was the bomb. Go See It.

Vogue is at it Again ( India )

They just won't stop making these annoying fashion " statements". Vogue India is published in a country where millions of entire families make it on $1.25 a day. Their latest "statement"? Even people with tuberculosis can look fly. Vogue is putting India's toothless poor in overpriced designer gear. This baby is rocking a $100 Fendi bib, but how much food does he have to spit up?

Reggaeton Artist Daddy Yankee backs McCain?!

From Photographer M. Christian:


His entire email message was a excercise in the kind of well thought out political rage that I like to encourage here on The World Is Ours, but i'm going to shorten his message so you guys get his quick point, see below:
"...Then tell me why the fuck is Daddy Yankee endorsing McCain?!? Who the fucks brave idea was that?!? Did they offer him expidited legalization and naturalization papers in exchange for his appearance..."

And yes Christian, I think McCain IS handing out green cards. The republicans vying for votes is getting just silly. Palin looks like something out of Good Housekeeping-I'm not trying to hand her the country. they need to start calling it The Republican Show; you know, like Maury.

French Electronique Group ( JUSTICE )

Jean-Michel Basquiat ....."Downtown 81"

from photographer Ramulass Burgas ( thnx Ram):

"I am sharing with you a film {trailer} staring Basquiat। A metaphorical explanation of his road to "success". Starring mr. Basquait himself, Downtown 81 was a film project that was created in the 80's but wasn't completed because of financial difficulties. The sound was misplaced during the film's incubation period, but in 2000 the rights to the film was aquired by the original directors and resurrected with voice overs, Saul Williams dubbing the voice over for Basquiat himself."

Go to the site to see the trailer www.theworld-isours.blogspot.com

Ram passed along a download of the whole movie but I don't know how to add it to the blog. If anyone wants it, send me an email.

Pharrell Williams + Domeau & Peres =ORIGINAL CHAIR DESIGN

This is from VA's own Juliette. Thank you! Dope. So Pharell Williams designed a chair with designer Domeau & Pérès. It's called The Perspective Chair. The chair is kind of goofy looking until you see the concept behind it:

Says Pharell:

“I had often wondered what it’s like to truly be in love, not lust for once.. So I decided not to ask what it was like in someone else’s shoes or what it was like to sit in their seat.. I decided to sketch out my own experiment; the perspective chair.”

I would like to call attention to the fact that the womens feet are tilted hard in the front. Interesting. So Pharell what kind of doggy style love would you call that exactly? I think you're still Lusting, Babes. Nice try tho....

Emergency Blog:Slant Eyed Spaniards

First off, I want to say this whole thing has caused me a great deal off pain. Three [count 'em] THREE of my friends cursed me raw via email over this. They were up all late at like 2:15 in the morning giving me the digital business. { Drink some damn cocoa and get to bed!} There were exclamation points, curse words, and even other languages. Then after taking me emotionally hostage they demanded that I include this in a blog. So I'm going to say the thing that got me into trouble with them: I DON"T Think the Spaniards were purposefully being racist with this incredibly stupid move. I don't think they meant to insult or even to tease their asian hosts. I think they misguidedly were trying to give the Chinese a shout out, that just went really wrong. I mean why would they intentionally be clowning them? They should just fire the PR guy and call it a day.

Yeah! So what Tish, Chris and Mark...what you got to say about it now? For real though< i'm not putting out a new challenge. Y'all play rough! But I'm loving the passion, as always. Lol!

GRAF ARTIST "KET": Maridueña Mean Mugging the World

Convo over Instant Message Around Oct 2007:

Me: Ket! They called you "prolific", Babes! You're on your way!

Ket: Lol!

(or something like that.)

It may be that I added that exclamation point, because in my mind's eye I'd love to believe that Alain "Ket" Maridueña was at his screen Laughing Out Loud for real. Probably not. The truth is I've spent hours around Ket: In business meetings, at his lecture, in my car... and in all of that time I don't have a memory of him smiling. Ever. The only reason I know the man has teeth is because I've seen him chew food. But I'm still not sure: he could have gummed it and swallowed.

So what were we talking about in the I.M. convo, way back when? In 2007 a mutual friend hit me up and led me to an online news article reporting Ket's recent arrest for insane counts of vandalism. The article's writer was tossing around big words like: "master artist" and "prolific vandal". Go Ket! Now, my reaction may seem strange to some, but I knew that the man who labeled his publishing company From Here To Fame would understand . It's every creative's dream to make his or her mark on the world and Ket's arrest and ensuing media frenzy proved he'd done just that.

Years ago I sat next to Ket in a theater watching some performance art. In the dark I looked down at his arms and on it was tatted the phrase " Yo Puedo Mas QueTu". Loosely translated it's: My Will is Stronger Than Yours. Nice. The tattoo made an impression on me. Intensity and focus are the markers in some of my favorite people in this world and Ket has focus pouring off of him like sweat. It's always been my personal belief that every man ( even the deadbeats ) achieves what he truly strives for. Ket's tat shows me he is striving to take over the world and his resume backs him up: Publisher, Writer, Activist, Lecturer, "Prolific" Graf Artist, Founder of Stress Magazine and Complex , Consultant to Marc Ecko's Under Pressure video game, Producer of animation Three Thug Mice. Ket's got a lot on his mind. Maybe that is why he never smiles.

So what is Ket into now? Who knows! I do know he's busy. Do you know how long this article took to get together??! It started in NY, broke for Copenhagen, picked up in Santa Fe and finished up in F*#k-If-I-Know, U.S.A. The last time i "spoke" to Ket he was texting me party directions from Colombia ( Yes, the country!). Ket is running around the world blessing it with his Mean Mug. And I ain't mad at him.

Well, I'm hating a little, but I ain't mad. Go Ket!

TALKING WITH THE ARTIST:

Khia_Rocks: When did you know that this ( art ) would be "what you were about"?

Ket: I am not so sure but in high school I was so fully into it that I could see it being in my future. As I matured I realized that unlike earlier generations of painters that quit when turning 16 because of the legal implications I was just getting started. By the time I started my first business in college and incorporated art into it I knew this was a part of me.

Khia_Rocks: What drives you in your career?

Ket: Wanting to work with friends, on projects that I enjoy, and having to pay bills.

Khia_Rocks: What is biggest misconception people have you you?

Ket: Some people think I am a maniac and violent. Others think I am very unapproachable. I'm just serious about what I do that's all. I like to get things accomplished and have no time for the flim flam.

Khia_Rocks: What is your proudest accomplishment so far?

Ket: Starting and running a respected magazine business that stood for something.

Khia_Rocks: What was the last thing that made you crack a smile?

Ket: My girlfriend photographing me having my favorite dish for dinner today in Santa Fe.

Khia_Rocks: Sigh. I'm going to need you to stop making things up.

Son of a...

This is in from my new  design "mentee" Karelia Jo Moore.   See? mentoring is a two way street. Webster's dictionary is evolving to fit today's world. If you click the link, there are two voice references for the phrase "Son of a Bitch":

You have the traditional "Son-of-a-Bitch", and then if you click on version number two it sounds like "S'um Bitch!". Do this when you're up late and overworked. Very Special.

This prompts the second discussion. Is this mess "hoodrat" or "red-neck"?

Eddie Murphy's Golden Child is the DALAI LAMA?

"I-I-I-I-I-I want the kniiiife...."

I'm talking to my ( buddhist?) homegirl and she is describing the selection process of the Dalai Lama:

Friend: " The soul of each dalai lama is reincarnated over and over again in the body of an infant"

Me: You mean like The Golden Child?

Friend: The child posseses wisdom way beyond his years. He understands things without anyone telling him, he is wise

Me: Like the Golden Child Right?

Friend: They search all over Tibet to find the reincarnated child. Then they take him away to protect him from people who want to hurt him and so he can fulfill his destiny.

Me: ( Getting Really Excited) Gasp! Like the Golden Child!

Friend: (Laughing) Yes....Like the Golden Child

See that's what I love about media, you can entertain people and still pass on a really cool message...that unfortunately takes 16 or so years to sink in. But this revelation comes right at the moment that the current Dalai Lama is fighting with the Chinese government as they are trying to find their own Dalai ( The anti-Lama, I guess). 

The Dalai Lama is on his way out of this world. But even though he may be dying, until things get right, he is refusing to be reborn.  You hear me?: He is going to stop his own reincarnation. 

Now that's gansta. Just stay away from that bloody porridge.

My Public Apology to Esen ( TAKE A RECORD)

 Indie record company Take A Record had their website launch yesterday and I missed it! I didnt' get to support one of my favorite New Yorkers ( D.J. & Rapper Esen ). His beats are nice. I'm so sorry E! I'm all about artist support, esp. my friends. I was all dressed ( i even had on the red and gold DC kicks u like) and, i DID leave my house to go, but things got kind of retarded in queens and I never even made it out of my borough. I know I missed a good time.

I owe you....a jamba...or something, I dunno, we'll talk.  

So, fam, most of the artists are available on Itunes. Check out the Site:
