Word As Bond
"Money talks! Money talks! Dirty cash I want you dirty cash I need you whoa-oh!" That's my ish right now, for real. Yeah I got the record, but there's a much more important, underlying theme in hook of this song. A symbolic, profound, completely relevant yet understated aesthetic that I am adopting right now: money. Yeah. Real f-in deep. Herbert breaks it down. I need the green stuff, I'm on my grind, so holler now for any bookings. I'm available Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and every day if you want a deejay to play while you cook your eggs before work. I'm also available for birthdays, Bar Mitzvahs, weddings, going-away parties, baby showers, bridal showers, confirmations, Sweet 16s, uh ... brisses, uh ... funerals whatever. Just holler at a Herbert.

I wanna be rich like Donald Trump. He's pretty rich, right? I was in Chicago this Sunday and dude straigt bought the Chicago Sun Times building and already sold $500 million in residential units. So I guess he's pretty rich. I wanna be rich like Oprah Winfrey. Oprah has the ILLEST talk show on television. She had Luther Vandross' first interview after his coma, Hillary Rodham Clinton and her mother on Mother's Day, Stevie Freaking Wonder and his daughter doing a duet off his latest album, and she's gonna have an in-depth interview with Supreme Player # 1, Bill Clinton. She's rich, too. If Donald Trump married Oprah Winfrey, the world would not be safe. They would take over and enslave this planet under a dictatorship unlike the world has ever seen. Hitler? Pansy. Napoleon? Bumbahclot. If Hitler was gay and married Napoleon (who then would also have to be gay, unless Hitler's family arranged the marriage unbeknownst to Napoleon), they would have nothing on Mr. and Mrs. Donald Winfrey (that's right--you know Oprah wouldn't have it any other way).

I just wanna say, for the record, that Anthony Mills is my favorite. He has the most beautiful voice in the world, he has loads of talent and love to spread all over the globe, and he will straight-up make you cry. If you wanna get in touch with him to check him out, hit me with an email and I'll send over the digits.

Big shout out to Rholi Rho and the 5th Platoon, who are really taking it to the streets all over the globe--good luck, I.Emerge! Check out Rholi and his goonsquad at bOb bar every Wednesday on Eldridge b/w Houston and Stanton on the L.E.S. Big shout out to Crooked, Scribe, Soulfinger Sam, M.O.S., and anyone else I forgot. Oh yeah: Big up to Marc Smooth. Good seeing you the other night, homie. Please come by and check out MY party at Starfoods, okay? (hahahahahahahah.) And a big, big special shout out to all my Puerto Ricans in the tri-state area. Have fun this Sunday!

One last thing: If you get a phone call from a supposed AT&T employee, telling you to push #90 for some reason or another, don't do it. Somehow, the lying thief on the other end gets your phone line account and charges all his calls to it. Tell him to kiss your ... tell him to f ... tell him to call Herbert up. Then I'll tell him to ... tell him to ... I'll figure it out. I'll come up with something very creative. Also, if you receive an email about this Friday's big terror alert, you prolly shouldn't get too hyper about it. I called the number I found on the email and they're saying to just "delete" it.

Peace, love, good health and dirty cash,
