Been lagging

I haven't posted anything in almost a month, I've been dicking around with twitter and facebook too much lately. Twitter is just too easy to bang out bullshit thoughts. Been doing things though, the past sunday Stef and Vinnie Esparza got together to throw Sunday Soul BBQ. They played oldies in a backyard on a sunny day in the mission. Shit was hella cool, saw a bunch of friends and heard alot of old music, good times. Lydia came through with her taco stand, mushroom quesadillas, carnitas tacos and elotes. All kinds of stuff got grilled, it was super fun.

Later that night I got on youtube to watch metal videos and twitter that shit. The result is that for Spindig in August I'm going to "dj" an all metal set. Lydia is also going to play a short ipod set full of metal. I will be billed as "DJ BECAUSE YOU PLAY BITCH SHIT" and I'm going to drop a gang of thrash so if you want to yell and see the best dj ever you better man the fuck up. I really just want to play shit I like really fucking loud.

Got some more things planned for the summer, like the Beer And Rap Tamale Stand. A bunch of tamales, boombox full of NWA and beers sold under the table. Should be a success but we'll see. I'm going to rob this city of all it's tamale money. Also working on Tall Can Marathon 3, just need to lock in a space to use. Things are in the works, I'm trying to bring more retarded fun for the summer. I need to bbq some meat soon, we'll see how that goes down.

Suckas Come To War; Why? To Die!

88 rap-a-lot shit, Noz posted up the I Got 20 track a few months back. Shit I think it was around that time that I picked this record at Friends Of Sound. Anyways my favorite cut on the record is, Get From In Fronna Me. Royal Flush was another one of those groups that just kind of got lost in the Rap-A-Lot shuffle, they released 976-Dope in 91 but that was the extent. Instead rapalot decided to do bullshit like developing Choice's artistic vision. Someone needs to tell them to just bootleg their whole back catalog, fuck a sample clearance. Hell I'm sure somewhere someone's sitting on boxes of promos, ebay that shit. Ok so the point is I like this track

Get From In Fronna Me
electro stabs with some fast raps are one of the easiest ways to win me over. Yeah there are some suspect lines with the whole hickory dickory dock bit or the fu fu fu flamboyant shit, but the rest makes up for those corny moments.

Rulin, Schoolin & Coolin
There is so much shit going on in this beat, random cuts just drop in. It's kind of a mess but there is something beautiful about it. I guess it's more of just that cut & paste simplicity that dudes were using to just make beats. It was 88 in houston, no real guidelines just bang it out and rap on the best shit you got. It's also kind of nice to hear my name shouted out over and over in a song, that never fucking happens.

Old Piece in a New Magazine

I wrote this like six months ago for the Versus issue which just came out. it was around the time the whole American Apparel thing in the mission was going down so I just kind of ran with some thoughts I had on the matter and banged it out. Anyways check it:

You Ain’t Doing Shit Anyways

So all the fucking kids in the mission got together to fight the good fight recently. They put a stop to the evil empire that is American Apparel. Activism is alive and well in San Francisco. Sure people think the mission is full of hipsters who care more about riding fixed gears, buying t-shirts with birds on them and drinking muddy water that some people call coffee, but you judgmental fucks are wrong.

Valencia St will rally together to put a stop to the injustice that threatens the very fundamental principles of its existence. Gentrification will continue to strive just as long the Midwestern exiles continue to feel cool about living close enough to the mission not to be threatened and only dealing with the marina when it’s drunk on 16th St. All while denying that the only difference is the uniform.

While brown people are being displaced because Medjool wants to build condos for the tie you’ll be wearing in a few years at least you have the passion to stand up against the threat of a t-shirt store that no one even gives a fuck about. You think motherfuckers at wal-mart even know what the fuck American Apparel is? No, that shit is fucking irrelevant, regardless of what you think of the company. It’s hardly a major victory against chain stores. But we got more people showing up to community meeting than ever before just so they can suck their own fucking cocks because they don’t want their coffee shop experience to be tainted by a rainbow of slim tees.

Where are these shitty fucking activists when kids are getting shot in the mission? Where are they when Fillmore kids are blasting people on laguna? Oh yeah that’s right, at home tightening their lock rings and patting themselves on their facebook for standing up against those who threaten their ability to wear a stencil of a fucking tree.

Guess what motherfucker, the bullshit liberal attitude that you left the Midwest for is a fucking crock of shit. It’s a marketing campaign created by the old money of this city to sell you a dream. They count on you eating up that dream because they know that as long as you have the hope of smoking weed on Dolores park without the threat of your parents that you will buy into the cost of that dream. If you don’t they don’t care; they can afford get rid of you until you turn into another cog that fuels the lie. They know that Wal-mart shoppers will never justify the retarded rents of this town. But if you can create a lie and sell it to a kid searching for an identity well then fuck you’ve hit jackpot. These motherfuckers will feed your bank account as long as they can feel better than the past they left behind in fucking Kansas. This marketing campaign is what fuels development and speculation of just how much money they can make off your dumbass.

No one built the T-line to help Hunters Point get jobs; they built that shit so that Mission Bay and the Dogpatch condos wouldn’t feel lonely. If you’re in the Bayview don’t worry they got their sights on you too. No one gives a fuck about developing shit for the hood, they have no money. If you believe in kindness then you are a fucking idiot. Sorry to shit on the lessons of the Care Bears but people are not nice and don’t give a fuck about each other. Sure there might be gestures but the only reason change happens in this society is when someone can cash in on it.

I love this fucking city but get real motherfuckers. Putting a stop to American Apparel doesn’t mean shit to anyone but those denying their own assistance in gentrifying the mission. If you are going to take action do it against something meaningful that actually has an impact on the quality of life of the people need it. I don’t give a fuck if Ritual Roasters rent goes up. If those motherfuckers can afford to open up more chains of their own store they can afford to put up with a fucking t-shirt store. How about you grow some fucking outrage against what happens one block away every fucking day? But no instead you dicks do dumb shit like organize no pants marches down 16th St because you want to be cute while you walk by people begging for rocks.

Have some fucking self respect you goddamn assholes.

In The Desert

Woke up this morning sitting in this Krisel house in north Palm Springs. Shit is kind of awesome, I'd been meaning to come down here for a minute and just chill. Stef and me just rented the house for the weekend to come down and get away from SF. This has involved chilling in the pool and drinking. If palm springs wasn't so boring I could live here, the mid century shit out here is ridiculous. Loaded up my toy cameras with some film so I should have some shitty pictures of things I've seen in the desert when I get back home.

I have some family that lives over in Desert Hot Springs but I haven't seen them since 1997 and don't really want to either, they are kind of crazy and will probably want to go to church. They are stupid Jehovah's. I don't want any of that shit in my life.

Anyways being out here makes me miss the desert a little. Hot and dusty not so much but I miss warm weather, sf gets in the 80's and motherfuckers think it's a heatwave. Fuck the fog I like wearing shorts and not taking a fucking jacket everywhere I go. I don't like having shit on me. That's why I don't wear sunglasses, accessories annoy me.

Whatever though, none of this is important. I'm just killing time on a saturday morning. I need food but maybe pouring myself a drink and swimming will do. Is whiskey for breakfast a bad idea?
