Rappers love to say, “My life is a movie.”  Those lames have absolutely nothing on Christopher Dorner, the former Los Angeles police officer suspected in three killings, which include the death of a police officer.  There’s a serious manhunt for Dorner right now and this ongoing story, filled with the plot twists and bloodshed of […]

Hickok45 (the most skilled, popular and entertaining gun nut on the internet) dropped some new videos of him blastin’ shit up with an arsenal of intimidating shotguns.  For the uninitiated, Hickok45 has enough guns to arm a small nation and he’s so nice with the steel, he can carve a face into a pumpkin with […]

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 […]

The Jekyll & Hyde image above, shot in sunny Acapulco, pretty much sums up the drug violence in Mexico.  Happy tourists enjoy a day at the beach, totally oblivious to the bloody corpse laying behind a wall, several feet away.  Not only is this a microcosm of Mexico’s clashing lifestyles; it also reflects the duality […]

I saw a few excerpts from the upcoming reality/drama film Snow On Tha Bluff, directed by Damon Russell.  Looks like some real deal, in-the-trenches gangster shit.  The film made its premiere at the 2011 Slamdance Film Festival and will be screened at 2012 Brooklyn Film Festival. Russell produced three episodes of the A&E reality-series The […]

“When you absolutely, positively have to kill every motherfucker in the room, accept no substitutes.”-Ordell Robbie, Jackie Brown Young’uns have a dance craze called “The Ratchet.”  They also refer to out-of-pocket, ridiculous people or activities as being “ratchet.”  Well, here’s what my generation calls a muthafuckin ratchet… This is a Glock 18 with a Beta […]

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 […]

SALUTE BY KHALID STRICKLAND a.k.a. BLACK PACINO Today, on the 14th anniversary of his death, my wake & bake was dedicated to Biggie Smalls.  The White Haze conjured up memories of a hometown hero. I grew up in the Fort Greene-Clinton Hill area of  BK; the same neighborhood where Christopher Wallace a.k.a. The Notorious B.I.G. […]

CONSPIRACY THEORY BY PACINO718 The other day I was at the Hustler Magazine blog checkin out tits & ass.  Then I stumbled across an excellent post titled Coincidences or Conspiracies? The Bush Crime Family’s Shady Past.  Not exactly the kind of “bush” I was looking for at Hustler but the article is great regardless. George […]
