Langston's Block!

Langston Hughes died of cancer on May 22, 1967. His residence at 20 East 127th Street in Harlem, New York has been given landmark status by the New York City Preservation Commission. His block of East 127th Street was renamed "Langston Hughes Place".

Sorry, haven't been to Harlem since '92. Settle instead of an authentic photograph of a Hangston sticker on 18th& Folsom St. w/ the Sutro Tower in the landscape.

Banksy Revealed!?

A HOAX???
Who knows. the NewYork Times takes the credit (of course) for this one. With their 6000 word Banksy read. But it was Afflicted Yard that made it happen (supposedly)

& this guy ordered a pizza. Ate it. & threw the box in the trash. Did you know someone out there bought that pizza box on eBay for 100$. The media is comparing him to Jean-Michel Basquiat. Yeah right! what a joke!(basquait's woulda sold @ $500)

Quick-draw McGraw (Toshiro Mifune pt.2)

A tranquil Rawkus (haroldhunterbook.com)

In the late 90's, Rawkus records was on fire! The likes of Dilated Peoples, Common, Tash, RA the Rugged Man, Beat Junkies, Prince Paul, Marley Marl & Pete Rock have all contributed to this record labels rise.

They hit the ground running. So whats up wit Rawkus now. They don't make'em like they use to, do they? The last i heard of this company was when, nemesis, El-P put the whammy on 'em; Signed to Rawkus / I'd rather be mouth fucked by Nazis unconscious."
Now its 2007, with the exception of Soundbombing, Talib, Monch & the late Big L, Rawkus seems to have formed some sort of void. There hasn't been any sort of ruckus from the label for sometime now ("can you describe the ruckus, sir?") Or maybe, Hiphop is just scant right now. Oh well, shit happens! Peep these old rawkus joints.

the Toshiro Mifune walk (r.i.p)


"The ancient samurai was accustomed to going out
into the open air as soon as he rose in the morning. There he
devoted at least 10 or 15 minutes to continued deep breathing,
standing with his hands on his hips in order that he might feel
the play of his muscles."

48 is too OldSchool! (Dance Faceoff Def)

By: AP

May 9, 2007, 8:30 AM CDT

NEW BRITAIN, Conn. -- A man died while trying to outdo a rival with an acrobatic move while "battle dancing," police said.
Robert Stitt, 48, and his rival were competing in a parking lot Monday night when he tried a forward flip and landed on his head.
"It was just two guys dancing. Everybody was laughing," Stitt's friend John Boxley said.
Boxley said James Brown was on the radio and Stitt wanted to outdo a rival dancer, who had flipped in the air.
Police said the victim went into cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead a short time at a local hospital.
Police said several people were in the parking lot drinking and battle dancing -- a competition in which each dancer tries one-upmanship with unique moves.

HoneyBees on the swarm (CCD)

The loss of honeybee hives is real!

its either 'man' or nature causing this threat. A cellphone's signal can disrupt a bees' mysterious navigation system and prevent them from finding their way back to the hive. Or is it the stress of transporting thousands of hives on flatbed trucks to various agricultural areas around the country?
The problem could be weather changes, viruses, fungi, parasites, mites, or a natural calamity like Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). The mysterious condition that causes worker bees to abandon their hives, leaving behind the queen and immature bees. The workers are never seen again, and within a week or two the hive is dead. Mysteriously, other animals that would ordinarily scavenge the honey in a dead hive leave CCD hives alone.
If this problem doesn't get solved, expect shortages in fruit and produce. a fabulous bread-and-water dinner will be served as the main course. And that is all.

Potrero del Sol



Fools over @ FTC linked w/ SF’s Mayor Newsom to celebrate the groundbreaking construction for the future site of the Potrero del Sol Skatepark.
(peep the BH mountain in the Landscape).
Street skating ain't like it use to be. With the over populating of people and cars in San Francisco, the city is in need of a new skatepark. Fort Miley doesn't count as a skatepark although its an excellent and tranquil spot to practice. Crocker Amazon(park #2) gets complaints of its difficult terrain and sketchy locale (poser skaters & newbie transplants DIE!).
Speaking of areas where white folks fear, let us mourn and not forget about SF's defunct #1 skatepark, the Dish@ hp's, Hilltop Park.
Overall, Potrero del Sol will be the city's 3rd skatepark. Completion date slated for Nov/Dec 2007.

(rasta Karma police) SEEN?

Once again it's ON!


The magazine folks, 'Primary Source' of Tufts University has printed a racially charged anti-affirmative action parody of a X-mas carol called, “O Come All Ye Black Folk.” The school’s news editor states, “The Primary Source regrets that the purpose of the carol was not clearly communicated. The carol was intended as a satirical criticism of affirmative action and was, in fact, intended as an anti-racist statement.” The carol is as follows:

“O Come All Ye Black Folk
Boisterous yet Desirable
O come ye, O come ye to our University

Come and we will admit you,
Born in to oppression;

O come let us accept them,
O come let us accept them,
O come let us accept them,
Fifty-two black freshman.

O Sing, gospel choirs,
We will accept your children,
No matter what your grades are, F’s, D’s, or G’s,
Give them all privileged status; We will welcome all.

O come let us accept them,
O come let us accept them,
O come let us accept them,
Fifty-two black freshman.

All come! Blacks, we need you,
Born into the ghetto.
O Jesus!We need you now to fill our racial quotas.
Descendants of Africa, with brown skin arriving:

O come let us accept them,
O come let us accept them,
O come let us accept them,
Fifty-two black freshman.”

Safari Inn (r.i.p. Drexel)

Once again, theBH ain't down wit pimps!

more of a dude's repertoire...

"cause Oakland California's where they made, the Mack."


Nevermind pimpin', 'Ho'in ain't easy' either (just ask Imus) & i'll tell you why: B.I.t.Dz, the BH kids would all pile into Larry D's car, drive to Capp St. and pelt the hookers with water balloons & spray'em wit waterguns.
Yell, "SHOW YOUR TITs!" (long before we knew about Mardi Gras.) and MOB out!
i guess it was that, 'young city kids method' of releasing sexual energy.
today, Box in Hand no longer condones this sort of sport (the sport of prostitution that is. Young kids playfully bothering the ladies of the evening, ROCK ON!)
All told, i guess Pimpin still ain't easy.

Let It Roll (freight cars)

(Ricky Henderson) walk-to-work Wenesdays

get ya walk on!


B.i.t.D.z (back in the dayz-late 70's early 80's); the kids from Bernal would sometimes get the urge to go to downtown/union square or pier39. we would get off the mountain and head towards the 24th St.train station. the train was called bart, and we tried to sneak on every chance we got. We had a youngin' named Raul who would do anything!! fools would say, "Raul! do Ricky Henderson!" and he would run towards the turnstile at full speed and make like he was stealing 2nd base and slide right under the turnstile, just like Ricky. Mid 80's came around and it was getting harder and harder to obtain complimentary rides from bart but we didn't stop. and plus we admired those NYkids

aYo check iT!

Hop that turnstile foo!

BH is into topography and public transport. you know, buses, trains &maps Y'aLL! Underground lines, monorails, subways, eL's, boxcars. the 3,4,&5, the RedLine, freightcars, Richmont/Fremont Train, theClockworkOrange, etc etc.
Like veins & arteries connecting to all the vital parts, a sound and well designed train system can be the pulse to any city (except for L.A). In most cases, i prefer taking the train over a car (except in L.A). what can i say? im a city kid w/ good chi & surf skillz, who can ride the train without holding on.(except when the MTA reaches Bleeker St.) Anyhow, these cities wouldn't be shit without their subways Except for L.A..

Supposedly, the leather used on the sneaker is the same one used on traditional Bavarian leather pants, the inner sole features the Bavarian flag colors, blue and white, and the inner sole also features a pretzel, which is a traditional Bavarian dish. FRESH! Ale & Pretzels! Germany in October,how perfect is that? I'm visioning sitting back drinking sweet beer and watching maidens run about.

Jumbo 6's? Run'em! (fa'sho)


Dude, gettin' stuck up by a gay stick-up man who lives by a strict code;
like not using profanity or never deviating from his rulebook (ie; only robbing menacing people who are involved in the drug trade), is well,
"all in the game".

Bowtie VS. the Farmer in the Dell


Brother Mouzone (Played By Michael Potts),the New York-based hit man with a penchant for literature, seems more like a entrepreneur and scholar. Judging by appearence, it is believed that Mouzone's Muslim faith is with the Nation of Islam but is now an apostate. Others say that he is in no way connected with the Nation. His appearance is camouflaged with strategy and intimidation, and fulfilled in such a way, that if your standing fac-to-face with this man, one isn't thinking of Mouzone's spirituality. Rather, your busy de-cyphering the man's considerate and gentlemanly lingo of what it means to, "get the fuck off the block!"

TAX DAY Patty (the15th)

The Claiming of Patty Hearst

It was 9:40 A.M. on the fifteenth day of April in 1974, tax day. Customers were going to the Hibernia Bank in the Sunset district of San Francisco to make their usual transactions. Suddenly four white women and a black man walked in and yelled, "It's a hold-up! Down on the floor! On your faces, you motherfuckers!"

In under four minutes, they robbed the bank of over $10,000, wounded two bystanders, and fled in a getaway car.

When reviewing the videotape afterward, the police were in for a surprise. Among the hold-up gang they saw the face of a nineteen-year-old woman who'd been missing for over two months: Patricia Campbell Hearst, granddaughter of legendary newspaper publisher, William Randolf Hearst. Not only that, she was brandishing a carbine and acting excited, as if she were one of them. It was to be one of the most bizarre events of that period, the truth of whether she was 'down' or not is still under debate.

is it easter?


This Easter, catch a laugh and go PEEP the classic & 5th highest grossing movie of all time, (clockin' $838,400,000 on the books), the 10 commandments (abc television). Once considered the highest-grossing film with a religious storyline until Mel's joint, The Passion of the Christ came along. Many doubt the film's claim of authenticity but the parting of the Red Sea did win the film an Oscar for Special Effects.

dont forget, despite all this hollywood shit...
