Bill Simmons’ brilliant take on Shaq and Kobe.

I am doing a furious whop to celebrate the Lakers’ self-destruction. I can’t imagine anything topping it.

Well, OK. If Kobe gets sentenced to 12 years. Or the Yankees implode.

Hell, even I don’t deserve that much fun in one year.

I also got a go-go piece coming out in this new mag/book called SWINDLE.

Backgrounder: It’s basically the extended remix of the Vibe piece I did in 2001. I can’t front. I was proud of that one, one of my favorite pieces of all time, tho I know some of the local heads at TMOTTGOGO.com were heated at me ’cause I didn’t fit in everything I was supposed to. (Hey buddies! There’s only so many words Vibe allows! Nuff respect!) Bonus: the crowd photos by the brilliant Alex Tehrani, which still deserve an exhibition all their own. (Click here and scroll right for just two of them.)

But yo, this SWINDLE version may be even better. The article is longer and tighter, tho I do wish there was more Rare Essence. Bonus: the photos by R. Teri Memolo are also incredible.

Cop it, please, and holla, please, whether you rate or hate.

Kerry picks Edwards. It bolsters the Dem ticket for swing state voters concerned about the economy but worried about voting for a Northeastern limousine liberal known to do the fish-flop.

(Re: the economy…Paul Krugman rips it up today: For the first time since 1932, employment is lower in the summer of a presidential election year than it was on the previous Inauguration Day. Got that? Bush=Hoover, yall. Herbert and J. Edgar.)

But it also means the Dem ticket is sitting solidly in “the middle” on most issues: pro-war, pro-Patriot Act, pro-No Child Left Behind, pro-welfare deform, etc.

Goodbye progressives. Hey, Ralph, make some noise.

Bay Area heads: Two (literal) must-sees.

Not often do folks here in the insecure homeland get to see B+ and Eric Coleman, superphotographers and the mastermindz behind Keepintime, exhibit their work. But this week they have not just one, but TWO openings in the Yay.

June 30 at Milk around 9-ish is the opening for the Keepintime photo exhibition. All the info is here. I promise you mad hip-hop celebs in the house, including surprise DJ guests. Don’t say you had to miss it.

July 1 at 7pm, the Punch Gallery opens “Unseen Works”, which has already shown to huge crowds in Tokyo and LA. The opening includes a screening of Keepintime, and the exhibition includes a bunch of photos that I collab’od with B+ to do commentary for–images regarding Florida and the 2000 elections. Yup, some scary apocalyptic shit.

Both shows will be up through the month, but come on through the openings and holla.
