So the other night I was coming out the bathroom of a popular
steakhouse chain. there were about six skater-guys crammed into a booth
and as I walked past, I heard one yell, "Skate or Dies!" Dude wasn't
putting his own spin on Sean Combs' voting drive but he was talking
about the sneakers I had on--Nike's latest creation the "Skate or Die"
dunk.
That story wasn't to ride my own jock (maybe a little)
but to show how crazy the sneaker game is right now. BoOgie put up a
post on the sneaker and from the grinds it got, it looks like some of
you guys might scream "Skate or Dies" too. Well, except for Craig
Redman who commented, "They're pretty hot, but not the best that's been
done." That's true but it is one of the best that has been coming out
from Nike this year.
From the files of GTFOH (you figure out the
acronym), comes a post from Global Grind legend kwame06 on Suge Knight
getting whooped by an actor named Angel Wainright. Whether or not it
really happened isn't what caught my attention. I find it interesting
that in all the comments, everyone praised the woman for "jabbing" Suge
in the eyes and wailing on him. In a nutshell, physically assaulting
him. What if the roles were reversed? Would Suge have gotten the same
support had he jabbed her in the eye? Maybe not. There would have been
a cry for his immediate castration. Suge should have called the cops
and pressed charges.
Cocoa's post on Lil' Wayne saying no-no-no
to rehab is the perfect example of why you should have an open talk
with your kids about the entertainment they're consuming. Chevii21
says, "He gone do him" which is a good point but there's nothing wrong
with at least pointing out the consequences of his actions even if he
doesn't see them himself. The man has children that could wind up
fatherless due to his direct actions. Meezblack17 has a point too
saying that "if u cant help yourself first, what makes you think u can
change him" but what happens when Weezy is high on syrup driving a
Ferrari and runs someone over? That we should have a say in. What do
yall think?
