In our capitalistic society, money absolves any kind of ridiculous and deplorable behavior.  This is fertile ground for coonery, so every day some rich black person willingly shucks & jives in public while dead civil rights activists do windmills in their graves.  Don’t get me wrong, coonery can be entertaining in doses… a lil’ Flavor […]

Recently, chickens have come home to roost for some of the world’s most brutal drug lords.  Infamous “Cocaine Godmother” Griselda Blanco was gunned down in her native Colombia last month… a long overdue slaying.  Gotta respect a woman who claws her way to the top of a male-dominated coke game but if anyone deserved those […]

Wow.  The most feared drug gang in Mexico, Cartel Los Zetas, finally buckled under pressure.  But it wasn’t law enforcement, the military or rival gangsters that made the violent Zetas bow to threats… it was a gang of computer geeks. A few days ago, the hacking collective known as Anonymous threatened to expose the identities […]

Rick Ross got the Triple C’s? Well, I’m gonna trump him with Five C’s: Cars Carrying Cocaine Cross Country. Guess if you’re gonna ride dirty, you might as well do it in the cleanest whip. From the Wall Street Journal: Four men have been arrested and a suspected ringleader was still being sought in a […]

TREATMENT WRITTEN BY DETECTIVE WILLIAM COURTNEY A can of worms was opened last week when prison inmate Dexter Issac, an associate of hip-hop mogul/gangster James “Jimmy Henchmen” Rosemon, claimed he was paid by Henchmen to rob Tupac at Quad Studios in 1994. There is currently a nationwide manhunt for Jimmy Henchmen, who is wanted by […]

WORDS BY PACINO718 American drug dealers “pimp” their rides to look fly and impress the hoes.  In Mexico, however, drug dealers customize their rides into souped-up war machines of mass destruction. As if the beheading and disembowelment of rivals wasn’t crazy enough, feuding drug cartels are now doing battle in armor-plated, Terminator-like vehicles dubbed “Los […]

BAD NEWS BY KHALID STRICKLAND a.k.a. BLACK PACINO *Sigh* This is a huge blow to my “Bucket List.” One of my goals in life is to travel to the Netherlands and get smoked-out at Amsterdam’s famed marijuana coffee shops.  But unless I beam over there right now via Star Trek transporter, that magical trip won’t […]

Damn! Even the crib ain’t a safe haven for tokers no more. Look what my cousin T showed me at The Gothamist: The Supreme Court has ruled that if cops are passing by your hotbox and they smell reefer, they’re legally entitled to kick your door down without a warrant if they think you’re destroying […]

WORDS BY PACINO718 Another postcard from sunny Mexico! You think your day was bad? This guy’s day was worse.  He’s a victim of the Zetas, one of Mexico’s most brutal and feared drug gangs.  I don’t know what the fuck homeboy did to deserve this but the Zetas sent a pretty powerful message.  Reincarnation won’t […]

THROWBACK BY KHALID STRICKLAND a.k.a. BLACK PACINO A long time ago, in a ghetto far away… Let me start by saying that I don’t actually slang the dope, I just bag it. And this is only a temp job until I find something legal… or at least until Jose returns from Puerto Rico to reclaim […]

ENDORSED BY PACINO718 Hell yeah… I been waitin’ for this one. You already saw the video for “Don’t Pass That To Me,” the dope first single for this free digital-album, GP Pot Heads.  It got plenty of burn (pun intended) right here at the ol’ Spiz.  Brother Hood 603 (Thanos & Arewhy), Sincere Amakulate and Sir […]
