The Herbert Hollar

Word To Herbert
I'm wasted. Way-way-way-way-wasted. Jasper and Peter (Turntablelab.com) and Izzi and Gram dun took me out to the Fishy Poo and got me some shots of Petron (my favorite!) and some whiskey sours (my favorite!) and I'm freakin' toe up from the flo' up. S'all good, though. I/m sober enuff ta write y'all this email. You're wonderin', "Herbert ... yyou never been drunk on your email before. i didn't know you party like that." Well ... I don't. But this here a special caucasian. I mean, this here a special occasion. You see, what I had to tell you, what I need to let y'all know, is this:

Herbert's Gettin' Hitched!!!!

That's right, ya''lls. Yyou heard me, son. I'll knock yout eh f out. Hahaha. Just kiddin'. I'm getting muurrrrrrred to the hottest, sexiest, smartest, most talented female in the world. She's the best. Hands down. And we're gettin' all sorts of murrrrrrrred this Saturday, October 2nd. She my baby, the one I told you I put lotion on, yeah, that one. She's been my sweetheart for the longest and now she's my ... wife. Wow. I said it. My wife. Wiiiiife!!

I hate to break it to you, ladies, but it's a wrap for the kid. I'm hangin' up the boxer briefs cuz I found me my soulmate. Yeah I said it, rub on your ti**ies. Nah. Yeah I said it. My soulmate. She's so purdy and so whipersnapper smart, I dun had to make her mines. All mines. So anyway, that's the big news I was tellin' y'all about, or at least hinting to y'all about. You know. Next time you see Herbert in the mix, he'll have a two-tone platinum and gold wedding band on his left hand ring finger. Sorry girls. "Lisa, Angela, Pamela, Renee, I love you, you're from around the way," but I'm going with my baby Alexandra. Sorry. Don't hate me.

Alright. Let's give 'em some Freedom now.

Last week was bananas. Platanos. It was packed, the drinks were flowing like mad, the dance floor was crrrraaazyyy as usual (you know what Freedom's about--music and dancing the night away), there were a ton of ladies gettin' down, and though Herbert was observing Yom Kippur with a 26-hour fast, he still rocked the freaking socks off the joint. You should've seen 'em when I dropped "California Love." They went bananas, and there were only like 20 heads actually from the Left Coast. Big shout out to all the home-skillets that came through, including Don Fatone and DJ Red Rokk, and all the deejays that come to pick up a few pointers from the man they call "Nasty Doo-Doo Herbert."

Saturday I was starving and broke the fast with a "quantity" meal at Gemini Diner. When it comes to breaking the Yom Kippur fast, it's all about quantity, especially at Gemini. Quantity before quality. Yup. Then Saturday night at Social Club was off the meat-racks. I kept beating them up with hot records. They were trying to leave up outta there, but I dropped 'em so hot they couldn't. They stayed till the end. They had to throw thems suckers out because I was just killin' 'em and they didn't wanna leave. Big shout out to DJ Wicked Wayne, DJ Rob Flow, Dan Tana (celeb doorman), heads from Boston, Pesci, and everybody else.

Big shout out to Crooked, holdin' me down at Umbrella this week; Ody Roc, holdin' me down at 17 this week; Cosi, holdin' me down at Freedom this week; and Mano, holdin' me down at Social Club this week. I'll be out ... gettin' murrrrred ... so I won't be back till next week, but don't worry: These cats are dope as dope can be, and they know how to rock it all nice like. Big shout out to Ruben Toro, Rich King, DJ Ric Rock from Miami, Jeru the Damaja, Dstroy, Ahmed, Seth Dawg and DJ Stretch Armstrong.

One last thing ... a corvette is not sexy with your drunk homeboy laying down in the back trunk. Not sexy at all.

Peace, life, good health, lots of money, and love love love love love love,

Herbizzle

P.S. -- Mazel Tov Eric Soler and Nick Cohen. They gittin' murrrrred too!
