Herbert's Heard
"You Got the Love" -- The Source (Francis, you're crazy for this one!!!!)
"Rescue Me" -- A Taste of Honey
"Confessions Part 2" -- Usher (J.D. remix feat. Shyne, Twista, Kanye)
"I Like" -- Guy
"Living for Today" -- Toshi

Word As Bond
Oh snap! St. Ide's got a rap-jingle now, too. I would pay to see the Colt 45 guy battle the St. Ide's guy. $20 admission. It's just too crazy. The streets is watchin'. The hood is talkin' right now. It'd be the biggest rap beef since ... since ... Hulk Hogan and Junkyard Dog ("I am a real American. Fight for the rights of every man!" C'mon, sing it with me!!!). You know what else is crazy? My new K-Mart 2005 Jump-Off Sneakers!!! All white, velcro only, stop sweating me. It got nasty in the aisle for a minute. This old couple grabbed the box I was looking at, tryin' ta straight jack Herbert's style, thinkin' I would get soft and let 'em have it just cuz they're "elderly?" Helllll No. Herbert called management and had them removed from the store. And now, I got the hottest sneaks For Only $16!!! I'm gonna hit the streets hard with these doggies:

They Call Me ... Big Belly ... Big Smelly ... Big Jelly!!!

You know what else is crazy? No, not Freedom. At least, not yet. Just the other night, me, Cosi and Marc Smooth were outside of Starfoods, talking business, when all of a suddeen, from out of nowhere, a little lobster crawls out of the street and walks right up to us. I am not lying at all when I say "little lobster." It was a crawfish, or a crayfish, or something, and it must've fell off the truck making a seafood delivery to one of the local restaurants. Crazy!

You know what else is crazy? No, not Freedom. Be patient--I'll get to Freedom. But what's seriously crazy is Sidestep.com. Sidestep automatically opens up right next to your window when you hit any of the travel sites looking for cheap fair. I got a one-way ticket from Chicago to Ft. Meyer's Florida for ... $59? Just $59? That's too crazy. I could go back and get the K-Mart jumpoffs in every color--tan, blue and black. I'd be too hot, then. It would just be too gangster-ific.

Now. You know what's really, really crazy? Yes. Indeed. You are right. Freedom Is Absolutely Crazy. Last week, we pushed about 350 people in the door, including Black Thought from the Roots, Beau Sia and the rest of the Def Poet guys and gals, DJ Blessed Productive, J. Period, and a whole slew of cool mofos. They were really singing loud. I mean, deafening. There is nothing like this party. For real for real. Big up to my partners Cosi (djcosi@hotmail.com) and Marc Smooth (djmarcsmooth@aol.com) for everything. And big up to all the heads that came true, including Francis Poku, DStroy, Ray Tamara from www.thecrusade.net (Herbert's on the home page daily, so check it out, and look for pictures from last week) and all the rest of y'all bastids. Sorry about the skipping records--I had the plague all weekend. But, Blessed Productive told me to say this:

"Record skip. Don't trip!"

Peace, good health, lots of happiness, and go see Alien vs. Predator,

P.S. -- Add Westway Diner on 9th Ave in the 40s to the list of fuc*ed up diners that put other ketchup in the Heinz 57 bottle. You know ... I asked for a sealed bottle of Heinz, too, and they wouldn't give it to me!
