It's gotten great reviews in all of the local weeklies here in Philly and is showing on the weekends at the local art house cinema. As a fan of chess and wacky movies I'm interested in seeing what it's like... 8o
Maybe it's because I am in fact Latino, but I never really noticed this until recently. According to what I hear from customers in the West Philly sneaker store I work at and from random conversations in general, people say that Latinos go overboard when it comes to rocking Jordan footwear. ...
Well, just got done with finals today and I have two days off from work. I hear enough about kicks working at a sneaker store, but what's been good around here lately? I've been absent.
I was shopping at my company's boutique in Center City and one of the managers said that yes, I can in fact use my discount at the ATMOS store up in NYC. For anybody that's been there, what do they have? I'm not necessarily looking for anything special, but I was wondering just to get an idea...
I was recently looking at his career numbers and Chris Webber was a beast. He passed as well as any big man I've seen in the last 15 years, had a reliable jump shot, and could finish at the basket as well. I know he didn't win anything, but he had a pretty good career nonetheless. What do you...
I was walking home from Center City and while I was drinking my Arizona tea (99 cents, aye), it hit me: If a vampire sucked the blood of someone with AIDS, would they get it? I know vampires are big in pop culture these days, so maybe a True Blood or Twilight fan can answer this question.
Yeah so my Mom is Latina and my Dad is Black, so all that led to me being light-skinned. It's not all it's cracked up to be, but hey, it has its perks. All other light-skinned heads should feel free to stop in.
In the vein of the recent thread on the GOAT, I felt like I should post up a story I heard from an old head today. I was at the Mitchell and Ness store above the UBIQ sneaker boutique in Center City, where an old head shared a story with us.
One of his dudes used to do security, back around...
I went to the local edition here in Philly and it was crazy. The battles between the local MC's were decent, and we were treated to performances from each of the celebrity judges: Joell Ortiz, Schoolly D, and Redman. There's supposed to be others in other major cities but I forgot which. Bun...
Can't seem to find it... The lyrics / melody go something "Ba-by please don't cry..." Or "Let me dry your eyes." It's like a 70s or 80s R & B song and I can't stop thinking about it. Just don't know the name.
So each person will contribute a sentence or two. I will start:
Not many people knew why John was always sad. But he always walked around school with a miserable look on his face.
I remember reading an article about him and four other "greatest high school players of all time" in SLAM back when it was still readable. Was he really that good? Names like God Shammgod, Telfair and Marbury instantly come to mind.
I hope to have my bachelor's degree in either communications or social work and I would like to be making a way for myself in the music business if not as a writer.
How about you guys?
Maybe somebody could explain it to me, but the Terror Squad has never been the same since Pun died all those years ago. Even after that, when all that $!%@ when down between Joe and Link. Where the NYC heads at?
