so i recently made a trip to my folks crib. i spent many of my teenage years in this house and as i always do when i get there i eat some griot, watched some on demand and of course reminisce. so as i went digging in the crates i found an old drawing that i made of bert and ernie from sesame street. i was a huge fan of that handsome couple and all of their antics. thinking about them got me to thinking about more sesame street and songs came to mind. sesame street over the years musically (pardon my french) is fucking amazin! and thus I present to you my TOP 5 FAVORITE SESAME STREET SONGS OF MY YOUTH
5. BERT’s BLANKET feat bert and the sheep
now from jump i initially remember this song because ernie was sleeping at the count’s crib. then moments of straight soul. these sheep harmonize on another level. they were hitting philip bailey-esque high note through out. my hear felt warm listening to this song. warm as if I wrapped in a… i don’t know a blanket perhaps. oh yeah fyi, i've def downloaded this song to my media player asap.
4. DOO WOP HOP feat kermit
now I never looked at kermit as a sesame street regular. he was that celebrity character bigger than the block that came home every now and then to give turkey’s to the hood on thanksgiving and put on summer bball tournaments. but instead of this hood classics he dropped musical classics, this being one of them. the dance moves.the athleticism. the beat. the background singin and dancin cows. this uptempo track is bananas. there’s a slow motion scene of kermit jumping at the end. MUST SEE.
3. AFRICAN ALPHABET feat kermit
kermit is such a stud with two songs on this list. this track is arguably the most creative joint on the sesame catalog. i assume this is the great ladysmith black mambazo on the vocals. they’ve always killed it on sesame street so I would be surprised. having them on the track alone is enough as they recite the alphabet. then all of a sudden when you think it’s over, kermit starts spittin words to every letter of the alphabet. Before papoose became famous for this kermit was ahead of the game. This song is incredible.
2. 12345…PINBALL
this song makes the list without a single character in the video. i would have to say this is the most memorable sesame street song to me. for many years i counted to the number 12 in this exact cadence. the funky jazz riffs throughout blow me away. there’s a trumpet solo in there that would make miles smile. a steel pan comes in towards the end that freaks it. the random voices and random yelling of numbers is totally outrageous. counting never and i mean never sounded this good. and if you peep in the beginning , the hand that pulls the pinball machine is a black hand. that’s how one ends up with all that jazz and funk. damn near flawless.
1. DO DE THE RUBBER DUCK feat ernie and friends
this was tough because ernie has about 4 songs about that damn duck. this one though takes it for me. they straight reggae it out. the baseline is a little barrington levy cats are in the tub rocking it out. they are dancing to the beat. oscar’s appearance in the tub! now that’s shocking. every bar and I mean every bar had me bopping. the count provides a bridge right into the hook that takes us right into the club! hoots the owl shows up and closes the show with the last bar. “come and be a bath time bopper/don’t pull out stopper!” they move the whole room! i was definintely busting out the bogle to this. no lie!
them muppets can sannnngggg!
what's your 5?

do not hold doors
we are back ladies and gentlemen! and today i must discuss something that i love. one of my favorite hobbies growing up would be to ride the nyc subways from first stop to last. it created such peace and tranquility within my young life. as an adult the train is filled with more moments of frustration and comedy more then anything else. so i present to to you the 5 most interestingly funny acts seen while riding the train!!
5. Faux Super Standers
I used to ride the 7 train everyday to work and there was this one woman. she was very small in stature and never smiled. as most early morning new yorkers she had her newspaper in hand and purse between her legs. The train would move she would stand and not budge an inch. immovable! then there are those other folks. swear that they could be like our immovable super stander but, no sir! they start jolting, landing on the seated for balance, apologizing and such. it is hilarious to see this person continue in their attempts to stand and fall again. the funniest part is seeing them finally give up and hold on. soooooo dejecting
4. Thanks Dr. Zizmor!!
you have not been on a nyc train if you have not seen this sign. i'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears, but i may be a little scared of vicious acne. which makes me so happy that dr. zizmor is around. i can't remember the last time i was on a train and didn't see the good doctor's face. "now you can have beautiful clear skin!!"
thanks dr. zizmor!!
3. dance dance revolution
have you ever seen that person with the giant headphones going sooo hard? you overhear coldplay and see them put on their best Lionel Richie impression. i'm all about the appreciation of music but when you are putting on a concert for the entire last car on the E train, somethings gotta be done. then we have our rappers. these are the guys that are spittin the latest in mixtape lyrics headphones or not. im talkin bout ice grill, hard head bop and insert random Jae Millz verse here. its out of control and last but not least the dancers. it's one thing to sway, one thing to bounce, and then theres this and best believe I've seen this and so have you:
2.PSYCHE!!
every train in new york city has homeless people. its part of the fabric that makes up our lovely system. some homeless cats are train specific. one of my favs was this dude who used to carry a bag of stuff for the homeless. im not sure if he was but i remember his scratchy voice asking us to give money to him and whatever organization he was working for, so that they could provide assistance. i think his name was eric. i digress. i remember a homeless man asking for money and seeing someone dig into their pockets as he approached. of course he thought they were reaching for him. and of course the passengers pulls out a tissue to blow their nose. i laughed in my head and maybe even a bit out loud, but i felt so so bad. its just not right. dont reach into your pockets, make direct eye contact, move akwardly unless you have intentions on giving some money. you can use the mrjeffdess technique which is to close my eyes and sneak peeks as they walk by. i may not be the biggest financial donor but i never neva evea never ever pull the psyche move
1. GETTING OFF!
let me paint you this picture. i am on the 7 train on a weekday morning and each car is way packed. As I survey the scene I see this one man engulfed in newspaper. More and more people are coming on and this joint is getting tighther. our newspaper friend is totally entrenched and surrounded. suddenly we reach queensboro plaza and then i hear some of the purest morning comedy that one could hear. in a fit of fear and anger our newspaper boy starts screamin GETTING OFF! GETTING OFF! no excuse me no pardon it was MOVE IM GETTING OFF! time is ticking and now im waiting to hear those lovely bells that will signal his doom. he's almost there. bells ring he's close. he's now reached the door and shut! this dude absolutely lost it. I TOLD YOU I WAS GETTING OFF , WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?! he was banging on the door straight wildin out and the entire car proceeded to lose it. i guffawed my ass off. lesson learned also know your stop!
let me know your train mishaps and moments of comedy. i didn't even mention the naked homeless guy! till next time if you see something make fun of it!

nba where risks aren't taken
with nba all star weekend now behind us and black history month still with more days to go i began to think about how many brothers were running up and down those courts. now my favorite moment of the weekend had to be a tie between shaq dancing and reporter craig sager calling the jabowockeez or however you spell it the "wackojabeez"
in honor of black history month i thought about revolution and progressive thoughts. all things that are not prevalent within the nba. but along the years there have been some brief moments. here are my top 5 revolutionary moments by black men in the nba.
5. lew alcindor not trying out for the 1968 olympic games
at this point in his career lew straight outta nyc was the most dominant and impressive college basketball player in the nation. he was a straight lock but chose not to try out for the team due the treatment of the black community. these olympic games are often remembered by john carlos' and tommie smith's black fist in the air, but we forget to about young kareem. now the fact that i had to use lew's example shows how much nba players over the last few years have not made moves.
4. ron artest fighting fans
now many look at this moment as a pure act of thuggery. i on the other hand look at this a the disgruntled slave having enough. he was being taunted, cursed at and these mofos were even throwing things at this dude. they were sitting there with their expensive tickets, yelling out all types of disturbing shit but they can do so because the nba allows. god forbid a player or coach criticize the hierarchy of the nba. right into the pockets. now i think ron ron is indeed a lil crazy, but what he did was show the people that he'd had enough. i bet you fans won't be throwing things at his ass again. if you taunt the oppressed long enough, one day they are gonna break free and bust your shit. see ron artest
3.craig hodges calls a spade a spade
so the bulls win the title and craig visits the white house. craig throws on a dashiki. craig slides president bush the first, a note that expresses how tight he was about the administration's treatment of the poor and the minorities.
a few years later craig goes at mj. he calls out mike for not taking more of a stand on particular social and political issues. i'm with craig on this one.
2. larry johnson and slavery
one of my favorite knicks over the years was my man lj. larry johnson was no longer grandmama by the time he came to the knicks and especially wasn't grandmama during his last years. fast forward to nba finals 1999. "what we have is a lot of rebellious slaves on this team" and when bill walton called him a disgrace lj would go on to say "damn bill walton. tell him to trace his history and see how many slaves his ancestors had."
larry had his full beard and hair grown out. he was not playin and in doing so provided one of the most poignant and i believe advanced statements involving black athletes in a long time.
1. mahmoud abdul-rauf and old glory
now we've all been to an event where the national anthem has played. sometimes we don't take our hat off, sometimes we talk during the playing or singing and sometimes we are singing the theme to "fame" in our heads. that last one may only be me but whatever. regardless we always stand. not mahmoud. he didn't stand, no hand over heart and back to the flag. he stated the flag represented tyranny which conflicted with his islamic beliefs. reckless? i say revolutionary. he eventually compromised and stood up but prayed during the anthem. big boy moves and oh yeah he could ball!
balllinnnn!

video killed the radio star
as i was in capetown, one of the things that i noticed to be different was the music. i was put on to so many different artists and types of music and loved most of it. our cable provider made sure to give us about 5 solid music channels and my friends and i definitely put that to good use. our pregame music came from mtv, channel O and others. with that said here are the 5 most memorable videos from capetown tv
5. leona lewis - forgive me
i remember really vibing to this song when her album first came out. now im not really up on videos like that out here in the states so perhaps this has been showing but this was a first for me. if you peep you can see how the record label put her in some sexy little outfits, dancing more even having choreographed moves in the streets. ok girl. they said you gotta get them sales up girl,we're rereleasing a special edition cd.
1:32 "hey look it is! "
4.alesha dixon - the boys does nothing
now i was the only one on my trip that was feeling this song. granted lyrically this is not the most complex track but it does have a catchy beat. and thus catching me in its musical web. im not sure what i like about this song but i was kind of feeling it. she asks the ever important queston "does he wash up" as a man who washes up, maybe that's my link. she's an attractive young lady who's older then i am so i can dig it. she sounds good. wait till the end and watch the dance solo's. very interesting. did they and do you wash up?
3:25 "i've actually done this move in the club"
3. lil jackie - the world should revolve around me
humility may not be evident here but talent is. i was lil jackie's look, swag and this song as a whole. again lyrically not the strongest but hey who needs lyrics these days. my fav line in this song was " who came first the chicken nugget or the egg mcmuffin." the fat guy in us all knows the answer is the mcnugget. well maybe the mcmuffin due to the breakest menu availibility. but i digress.
1:39 " is that rosie perez??"
2. kardinal offishall ft. keri hilson - numba 1.
these are two of favorite artists so im hopin this song will get to the states. but let's be honest, when was the last time you saw a kardinal offishall video? i heart keri hilson though and she really catches it with the hook on this one. dope ass video and song.
1:59 "true committment to a video"
1. madcon -beggin
we first heard this song at a club and dubai and it absolutely popped. people were going crazy including yours truly. i got to capetown and finally saw the video. hated it but the song was still dope. i believe this is a frank valli remake and these fellow caught it. it's actually an odd video now that I think of it. but it was definitely pumpin in capetown. funny story is that someone in dubai told me that i look just like a guy in the video. you be the judge!
1:12 " is this guy with the from my lookalike?"
what are your thoughts???
gotta have my capetown tv!

flyin my way?
happy new year all! this is my first post of 2009 so hope you enjoy it.
i recently made a trip to capetown south africa. it was a gorgeous city and i most def recommend that if you ever have chance to pay it a visit.
part of my trip though was the 14 hour flight to my layover destination of dubai. we took air emirates and flew on their a380 airbus. comparing the airbus to any american airline is like comparing beyonce to rupaul, soul plane to roots, the cosby show to malcolm and eddie, illmatic to any coolio album. ok you get the point. to catch my drift i present to you the top 5 reasons to fly on the air emirates a380 airbus
5. flight pack
this flight pack includes the most comfortable pair of socks. you can walk around the whole plane in comfort. now granted the stinky foot folk take full advantage but its worth it. pack includes a portable toothbrush and ill be the first to let you know that i did brush my teeth after enjoying a complimentary twix. gotta watch those cavities kid. and my personal fave the sleep mask. you haven't slept until you sleep with a mask on. i brought mine home and i'm totally sleeping on a new level
4. in flight phone
each seat has a phone. you pick up. you dial a seat number. you call your homies or perhaps that sweet honey in seat 36A. "hey girl turn around i'm in seat 75c. i see you!"
3.liquor
now i'm no lush but i do enjoy a lovely spirit here and there. air emirates is going free alcoholic beverages the entire flight! now it was actually $8 for champagne. but jack daniels free. absolute free. i had some sweet merlot with dinner. some of that free pinot with lunch. a little delay and a little more pinot. little kid crying a little more pinot. poppin miniature bottles in all time zones.
2.food
the food was remarkable.
appetizer: smoked turkey accompanied by marinated corn
main course: chicken curry with biryani rice. mixed veggies and potatoes
dessert: sweet ass cake
midway snack: tuna wrap or mozarella sandwich
yup there was brunch...scrambled eggs. sausage. bacon. biscuits.
1. the playlist
they have this entertainment system that includes great movies and tv shows but the best part was the music. you can create a playlist from over 1000 songs from almost any genre. on thing missing was rap but here's a sample of my artists
prince. michael jackson. hendrix. coltrane. miles. dizzy. aretha. estelle. adele. chris brown. mia. beyonce. stevie wonder. bob dylan. same cooke. marvin gaye.bill withers. sinatra. ellington. queen. les miserables soundtrack and more. close your eyes, put on your socks and mask and let the music play folks.
oh and by the way first class gets individual showers! damn.
happy flyin!

earth kitt rest in peace
i start by saying happy holidays to everyone whose eyes run past these words. i hope that all of you who were expecting gifts received them and if not you probably didn't deserve them you greedy mofos. just kidding of course i simply enjoy using the term mofo.
but i also write this with a heavy heart. I read earlier that Earth Kitt passed away today at the age of 81. we all remember ms. kitt for a number of reasons and i'd like to remind us all of some of my fav. eartha kitt moments hopefully she will receive the eternal christmas gift. rest in peace to the talented ms. eartha kitt.
5. c'est si bon
she's skills it here, singing in french. cabaret at its finest and of course she's rolling those r's like other.
4.as yzma in the emperor's new groove
i never knew this was her in the film. her character was pretty badass. underrated disney villain.
3.catwoman
the list wouldn't be complete without this slot. having a sister on tv back then on such a popular program was without a major move
2. santa baby
i remember hearing everybody and their mama doing this song. who knew eartha kitt's version was the best. her distinct voice once again shined.
1. lady eloise in boomerang
this is my first memory of eartha kitt. hilariously played role. the scenes of her and eddie together were fantastic. i was thinking damn this old lady has some game.
next stop dubai

the list wouldn't be complete without this slot. having a sister on tv back then on such a popular program was without a major move
2. santa baby
i remember hearing everybody and their mama doing this song. who knew eartha kitt's version was the best. her distinct voice once again shined.
1. lady eloise in boomerang
this is my first memory of eartha kitt. hilariously played role. the scenes of her and eddie together were fantastic. i was thinking damn this old lady has some game.
next stop dubai
