Herbert's Heard
"Diary" -- Alicia Keys feat. Tony Toni Tone (brings a tear to my eye)
"Can I Get Wit'Cha" -- B.I.G. feat. Angel Demar (produced DJ Vlad and Full Force)

"TKTKTK" -- ODB
"You Dropped a Bomb on Me" -- Gap Band

Word As Bond
Yo! You know I was saying how wack Manhattan is, right? Well ... we might just have to add Williamsburg to the NYC Wackness Chart. And not just cuz every fashion and art snot head lives there, but ... well ... They Gave A DJ A Ticket!!! You heard me right. They gave this pour dude who barely deejays a freaking ticket for "Operation of Sound Reproduction Device Without a Permit." That's right. Let me write that again because I really, really wanna take up as much space as I can on my email with Bullsh*t like this: "Operation of Sound Reproduction Device Without a Permit." It's like this, Bloomberg: No music, no New York. Not everyone in this city is rich, white, and likes to go to the Opera!

(Though I qualify for two of those.)

Ain't a thing like Freedom. Last week, we reached a pinnacle. A zenith. Cosi has the biggest nuts in the world--he dropped Nirvana's "Teen Spirit." You know Herbert, being the chickensh*t that he is, was like, "You sure, dude? I mean, you think it'll work?" Cosi, with his 15 plus years of deejaying experience, was like, was like ... he really didn't say anything. We do work together, and we do listen to each other's advice and suggestions, but this time, it was going to happen whether or not anyone liked it or not. It was innate, it was a command from G-d himself, and it was going to be played. He didn't respond to Herbert; he just put it on. And then I thought it was wrap for us. I thought the cops were bound to come in. I thought we were going to have to shut the place down. everyone went freaking bananas. Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Indian, everyone. Jumping up and down. Yelling. Screaming. It was crazy.

Then Cosi really did something crazy. He handed me the headphones.

Don't worry, though. Herbert is damn good, he found a way, and the "ohs" and "yeahs" followed suit, and the rest of the night was just magical. Big shout out to DJ Wonder of Hot 97, DJ Jozen (see his going away party at Rehab above on Saturday night), DJ J. Period and the rest of the DJs, MCs, producers, and 300-plus party-goers that come through every week to make Freedom the greatest party I've ever been a part of. Seriously. Where else can you find 300 people dancing to songs like ... like ... Candyman's "Knockin' Da Boots"????

That's all for now, y'all. I got some meetings. Some big things coming up.

Peace, good health, love, light, understanding,
