RESPONSIBLE JOURNALISM BY BLACK PACINO

The interruption of my workflow falls squarely on the shoulders of my homie JaJa. For once, I was on course to beat the newspaper’s deadline and submit my articles in a timely manner. After falling behind in my assignments again and again, redemption would finally be mine.

Then Ja, under the false impression that I’m a horn-dog, sent around a video clip of famed Brazilian model and Playboy centerfold Andressa Soares shakin’ her big ol’ tush. Naturally I ASSumed that Ja sent me the clip because he wanted me to use my journalistic skills and research this chick for him… not because I’m a booty fanatic who’d go ape-shit over AndreSSa’s well-tanned, mondo butt. How I earned such a perverted rep is beyond me.

Anyhoo, I did what any responsible journalist would… I dropped my newspaper articles and focused on finding more material of Andressa Soares. I soon discovered that her nickname is Muhler Melancia; Portuguese for “Watermelon Woman.” Yes, her huge buns are comparable to a pair of sweet, juicy melons. All that booty is packed into a 5′6″ frame and her measurements are 36-26-48 (forty-eight? DAAAAAMN!!!). Is there enough room in my Fantasy Wife Team’s starting line-up to fit that behemoth butt? Somehow I’ll find a way to wedge it in, even if it means trimming down the roster.

Head south-of-the-border for a heap of sexy photos and some of the hottest video footage known to mankind. Once again, I miss the newspaper’s deadline. Thanks a lot, JaJa… you trouble-maker.

MEMORIES BY KHALID STRICKLAND a.k.a. BLACK PACINO

Journalism is my savior.

Four years ago I was on a path to nowhere. Then Ma Dukes introduced me to journalism and I never looked back. Now I’m a writer who contributes to popular newspapers, websites and magazines.

Sometimes I pass through my old hood and marvel at how it’s been gentrified. Gambling spots have been replaced with coffee shops and alien occupants rollerblade down the blocks niggas used to hustle on. While perusing these once-familiar streets I see my name, along with those of former hood denizens, etched into the concrete like a ghetto walk of fame.  My crew and I left our marks while the cement was still fresh; long before the block was snatched from under us.

As I puff a Marlboro on the corner of Fulton and Fort Greene Place a ghost from the past approaches me with a missing-tooth smile.  His name is Freddy and once upon a time he was a fiend with a serious drug-habit.  He looks coherent and seems to have his shit together now. I crack a grin and shake his hand, happy to see a familiar face amongst the strangers.

“Whassup, Kha?” Freddy exclaims.

“I’m good, my dude. You look well. Been taking care of yourself, eh?” I respond.

“Yeah. I’m clean now. But I have you to thank for that,” he says with gratitude. “You scared me straight.”

I barely remember shit that happened fifteen minutes ago and can’t recall what he means. Freddy notices the puzzled look on my mug and attempts to jump start my memory.

“Back in the day. Remember when…”

While Freddy recaps the story, details emerge from the cloudy haze in my brain. Weed-scorched memory cells fire up and begin to work again.  As the clock rewinds, the neighborhood slowly deteriorates around us to morph into what it once was…

EXPANDING HORIZONS WITH FILMMAKER AARON WOOLFOLK

Posted in Film, Interviews, Soak up some game, VIDEOS on December 1, 2009 by Black Pacino

WORDS BY KHALID STRICKLAND a.k.a. BLACK PACINO

Filmmaker and Columbia University graduate Aaron Woolfolk didn’t set out to make history with The Harimaya Bridge, his critically-acclaimed first feature film. But since he’s the first African-American to direct a feature film in Japan, with a near-exclusively black and Japanese cast, it’s a noteworthy achievement.

The script for Harimaya Bridge impressed famed actor Danny Glover, who became its executive producer and acted in one of its lead roles. Ko Mori, a prestigious Japanese film producer and distributor, also took stake in Bridge and got the movie on silver screens in Japan. The film is now being screened at venues in the United States, including the San Diego Asian Film Festival. Harimaya Bridge will also be screened at the New York African Diaspora Film Festival on December 6th and 13th. Both screenings will be at the Thalia Theater at Symphony Space, 2537 Broadway (at 95th Street) in Manhattan.

Harimaya Bridge is the story of a father who travels to Japan because his son, who had a job there teaching English, perishes in a traffic accident. Daniel Holder, portrayed in the movie by Ben Guillory (Color Purple, Tuskegee Airmen), despises Japan because his father was killed in a brutal fashion while fighting the Japanese in World War II. But during his visit to the Land of the Rising Sun, Daniel discovers the life-altering secrets his son left behind.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Woolfolk and below the jump, he reveals the inspiration for his debut feature.

Here’s a tongue twister for you:

“Sara Jay’s bodacious butt busts booty shorts and her big brimming breasts break bra-straps.”

Try saying that three times fast.

Sara Jay is the centerpiece for many a dirty dream. Her monster glutes are the stuff of legend and her adult-filmography is paved with gems.  While searching the DVD store for wholesome family entertainment, I stumbled into an area sectioned off by a black curtain and three neon-lit X’s.  Being naive, the Arab at the counter tricked me into buying Bomb Ass White Booty, my first Sara Jay flick.  The scene opened with her washing a Benz and soap suds dripping down her glistening derrière; the smart camerman used a wide-angled lens to capture all that ass. Right away, I was intitiated into her fan club.

America’s favorite MILF is no stranger to The Spizzy; her sexy pics are sprinkled throughout this site and she is a popular topic of discussion.  Now, Ms. Jay returns here as an interviewee.  Go downtown and peep our Q&A session, spiked with risqué photos of Ms. Jay.  Find out how Sara got into the game, how the economy is affecting the porn biz and the one sex act she will not do.

MY INTERVIEW WITH SKYZOO

Posted in BROOKLYN!, Bars of raw, Dope Beats, Interviews, VIDEOS on November 28, 2009 by Black Pacino

WORDS BY KHALID STRICKLAND a.k.a. BLACK PACINO

Brooklyn’s own Skyzoo, complete and confident rap lyricist, has a debut album in stores called The Salvation.  The acclaimed LP was released this past September courtesy of Duck Down Records, a label that’s been on a roll as of late.  To recap, Skyzoo has recorded with DJ Premier, 9th Wonder, Sean Price, Maino, Ron Browz, Flo-Rida, Illmind and many other folks of merit.  His mixtapes have circulated the streets like dirty burners, gaining him a congregation of fans.  This heavy grind was the battering ram for The Salvation.

Skyzoo spittin’ a rhyme is comparable to Allan Houston shooting a basketball: pure, accurate and textbook.  The Salvation roped people in with its accompanying “Saving Our Grace” short film clips.  One video features an ex-con, complete with dress shirt, tie and du-rag, looking for legit work after paying debts to society.  Another clip features a worker at the local chicken shack, doing what he must to make ends meet.  Rather than glamorizing one aspect of hood life like every rapper that steps off the assembly line, Skyzoo illustrates various points of view.

With The Salvation finally in the iPods of the people, Skyzoo and I got on the horn for an interview.

AGGRAVATION BY PACINO718

There are certain American chain stores that always have sluggish cashiers serving long lines of disgruntled customers.  Even before losing droves of workers to the recession, these particular stores have been plagued with shitty customer service and eternal waiting periods.  When you’re in a rush, you already know not to set foot in these five quagmires…

GUEST STARRING BIG AL OF SPIC’N SPANISH & DON MAGIC HUANG

(a.k.a. THE UNHOLY TRINITY)

ILLUSTRATION BY SIMON BISLEY

Since Mike Goonberg bought a 3rd term as NYC mayor, I’ve got a greater appreciation for the democratic process.

The Spizzy is home to such crunk contests as BIG BOOTY BATTLE ROYALE and THE BATTLE FOR WHITE SUPREMACY.  Commentators worldwide voted for the chicks they deem hottest in each bout.  My motto is “The polls never close” but eventually we’ve got to settle on a winner.  Unlike the Bush vs. Gore election, votes really do count at The Spizzy.  So the ballots were tallied and after weeks of deliberation, I settled on a clear-cut winner for each contest.  Folks can still exercise their right to free speech and comment on the posts, but from this day forth the victors I announce will be etched in stone.

To preside over this momentous occasion, I have summoned two experts.  These seasoned horn-dogs will help me break down and analyze each bout, like the generals who interpret Sun Tzu in The Art of War.

On deck I have my partner-in-grime Big Al, the celebrated ringleader of Spic’n Spanish TV.  Also joining us is the homie Don Magic Huang, a multitalented entrepreneur with an alias and low profile for this commentary.  Associating with a nefarious crew like the Thirst Mob could incriminate The Don, so he’ll share his expertise from behind a ski-mask.

Let the round table commence.  Here are our winners…

A NIGHT AT THE MOVIES: GOEMON

Posted in Ass-Whuppin', Film, Samurai Sundays, VIDEOS, Visual Art on November 22, 2009 by Black Pacino

REVIEW BY KHALID STRICKLAND a.k.a. BLACK PACINO

PHOTOS PROVIDED BY © “GOEMON” FILM PARTNERS

Recently at the ImaginAsian Theater in Manhattan, the good folks of New York-Tokyo held its U.S. premiere of Goemon.  This colorful action flick, titled after its “Japanese Robin Hood” protagonist, is directed by Kazuaki Kiriya.  Renowned for his slick photography and  visionary music videos, Kiriya’s highly stylized debut film, Casshern, was released in 2004.

I had an available “plus one” for this screening but no date to snuggle with (awwww), so an order of salty nachos kept me company.  But with its frantically paced fights and vast, wide-eyed view of ancient Nippon, the two-hour running time of Goemon whizzed by like a stray bullet.

Check out my review, dazzling pics (click to enlarge) and the film’s trailer below the jump.

If I watched porn Jazmine Cashmere would be my favorite star, because my informants report that Ms. Cashmere is not only a dime, she’s a bionic sex machine. She totally kills the “ugly chicks do it better” myth… with her fine-azz self.  In the name of responsible journalism, I held a private, at-home screening of Big Wet Black Butts 4 and indeed, ol’ Jazz put in some arousing work. On the fellatio tip, J. Cash makes Karrine “Superhead” Steffans look like a mere mortal; JC has the breath control of a deep-sea diver without an oxygen tank.

But wait, there’s more…

LAID OUT BY KHALID STRICKLAND a.k.a. BLACK PACINO

Relations between the police department and people of color have never been cordial.  In the eyes of the U.S. Justice system, the lives of  black and brown citizens are worth xerox-copied Confederate money.  Police officers have the divine right to rough us up and gun us down without consequence, warranted or not. From criminal to college professor, we’re all painted with the same brush… c’est la vie.

But I give credit where it’s due.  If it weren’t for corrupt cops who’d rather pocket work than do paper work, I’d be serving felony time.  Thank you, kind officers.

Great rap songs have been birthed from the frosty relationship between the police and so-called minorities.  I say “so-called” because people of color are the majority around the world, but that’s going off-topic.  More than any other music genre, Hip-Hop has manifested these feelings of resentment for rotten-ass police into classic works of art.

Here are five sonic slugs that tore through the Kevlar of law enforcement.

Unlike the syrupy-slow mixtapes from her hometown of Houston, Texas, there’s nothing chopped or screwed about Aimee My’Le Nguyen.  The petite young model is quite easy on eyes. And the tempo of her career is not moving at a snail’s pace; Aimee’s endeavors are on a rapid climb.  Miss Nguyen’s captivating curves are featured in magazines like SILK and Southern Belles.  She’s also appeared in the video for “Busy Body” by Paul Wall, Webbie and Mouse.  Now she’s here, instantly upgrading the look of The Spizzy.

This lil’ firecracker packs punch where it counts, with tight contours that swerve gracefully around her frame.  Her face is one that not only a mother could love, but anyone with the gift of sight and an appreciation for beauty.  Those are two things that I have, so Aimee found a place in my team’s rotation.

Before you read our Q&A session and get a taste of her sweet photos, here’s a nugget of trivia: Aimee and I are Tauruses who share the same birthday, although I was born  light-years earlier. Our birthstone is the diamond.  And like the most expensive and coveted rock on Earth, Aimee My’Le Nguyen is here to shine.

GANGSTER RAP HISTORY 101: MOB STYLE

CHRONICLED BY PROFESSOR BLACK PACINO

Those who have seen the movie Paid In Full and study street-lore know the true story of Azie Faison, Rich Porter and Alpo Martinez.  In the late 80’s, the three cohorts were raking in the dough as Harlem’s most notorious drug kingpins.  Their once-powerful empire splintered when Azie was shot seven times in a botched robbery attempt and Alpo was jailed after murdering Porter, a man he once considered a friend.

Azie survived the hail of gunfire and disavowed his life of crime.  In 1989, a year before Richard Porter was killed, Azie formed a rap group called MobStyle with his associates Gangster Lou, Pretty Tone Capone and Whip Wop.  The word “gangstais some made-up, superficial Hip-Hop shit.  The members of MobStyle, however, were bona-fide gangsters with heavy street reputations.  Check out the cult-classic 1995 HBO documentary Lock Up: The Prisoners of Riker’s Island and you’ll find an unscripted moment with Gangster Lou chillin’ in a holding pen, shouting out MobStyle.  In the streets of Harlem, Pretty Tone Capone had even the hardest niggas shook… and with good reason.  He was known as a wild muthafucka; this was reflected in the maniacal way he shouted ad-libs and spit rhymes.

Although they were too underground and too damn real to receive their props, they’re  basically the first East Coast gangster rap group.  Their debut album was named The Good, The Bad, The Ugly and it was released by an indie label called Grove Street Records. MobStyle were very vocal in their dislike for N.W.A., who were extremely popular nation-wide at the time.  MobStyle considered them phony long before it was discovered that Ice Cube went to college for architecture and Dre wore make-up and sequins.

Eazy-E threw a jab at MobStyle on N.W.A.’s joint, “Real Niggaz.” (“Back, the good the bad the ugly, see?/A lil’ streetwise nigga you know me/Rollin’ with some real niggaz playing for keeps/but you muthafuckas know who run the streets…”) After all, legend has it that Pretty Tone Capone set it on N.W.A. when they performed at The Apollo theater in Harlem.  A tsunami of goons flooded the stage and the boys from Compton fled.

There may be a shortage of female rappers these days but the ranks of female deejays have strengthened.  Deejays Blazita, June and Nickiee Barnes are ladies of diverse ethnicities and backgrounds.  But aside from mastering the wheels of steel, this trio has a few common traits… they’re strikingly beautiful, enterprising and at the top of their respective games. Despite their individual accomplishments, these three women still have plenty of upside and even greater prospects on the horizon.

CROOKED DICE

WORDS BY KHALID STRICKLAND a.k.a. BLACK PACINO

“When examined closely, the choices we have… in the marketplace, in elections, in our jobs… tend to have noticeable limitations: They are often a matter of choice simply between A and B, with the rest of the alphabet out of the picture.  Yet as long as the faintest mirage of choice flickers on, we rarely focus on the missing options.” -Robert Greene, 48 Laws of Power

The 2009 NYC mayoral election is over and the votes have been tallied. Billionaire mayor Michael Bloomberg spent $85 MILLION (probably from his spare-change jar) on a campaign he should have never been allowed to run at all, only to defeat challenger Bill Thompson by a very slim 5-point margin.

Since he’s a self-centered, arrogant mu’fucka, Bloomberg overturned a LAW stating that mayors can only serve two terms in office. Twice, New Yorkers voted in favor of term limits. But Bloomie’s fellow politicians, themselves hungry for absolute power and financial favors, helped him break the law.  Mayor Mike’s near-loss shows that people may be ready for change, making the third term he purchased even more unfair to New Yorkers. Since he strong-armed his way back into office, I’ll call him Mayor GOONberg from now on.

I didn’t bother voting yesterday because in my eyes the outcome was fixed and I had no time to waste. See, I grind 24/7 just to tread water because Goonberg helped turn New York into a city for the rich. Households grossing 70K annually are just getting by. Awkward skyscrapers are being hastily built  in the hood as the lower middle-class gets priced out.  People are leaving the city in droves; shit is crazy ’round here.

But my problem ain’t with Goonberg’s politics as much as it is with the dangerous precedent his third term sets.
