STRANGELY FAMILIAR...

hi.
dp of POEM-CEES here
-welcome to the website

we're a hip hop group.
we write rhymes and hold microphones with unusual aplomb

we're a hip hop group
we have performed with the famous and the anonymous.

we're a hip hop group
generally speaking, we are decent people.

we're a hip hop group
actually, we're a DC hip hop group (there is a difference)

chances are, if you're reading this site you already knew this
"damn, why is this fool stating the obvious?"

BECAUSE IT'S NOT THAT OBVIOUS

"hip hop" is a criminal culture, full of violent, misogynistic, crassly materialistic thugs who espouse filth flarn filth thinly disguised as rebellion
(it's 'true'- ask Ted Koppel and Niteline...)

yup- and can ya blame folks? i mean, with today's primary societal motivation being "get paid at any cost", ANYbody will do ANYthing- if it'll make 'em popular/$$$/popular...

-drink cow intestine juice? check
-pierce your entire face? check
-jeopardize your promising music career? check, check

but i digress- i meant to tell y'all that hip hop is a diverse mofo...

this past week, hip hop (having awakened at 3:45am to catch the 5:05am Amtrak to NYC) struggled to stay awake during an all-day legal seminar at ABCNY. then, hip hop hustled over to Sam Ash to check out the RS7000 before dashing back to Penn Station to catch the 7:35pm to DC. bedtime? naaah- off we go, straight from Union Station to the Black Cat for the Younglao, Crossrhodes, Critically Acclaimed show. hip hop dipped out with melani, fred, and imani to the 'shhhh' falafel spot in Adams Morgan. got up and kept mashin' on saturday, culminating with a front-row view of Ruck & Rock smashing mics apart at Bohemian Caverns. (pssst-now that's hip hop!!!)

less than 10 hrs later, hip hop sat in a meeting room at Congregation Har Shalom and did (what else?) HIP HOP. of course the crowd dug it- after all, who wouldn't like hip hop up in their synagogue? 50-80yr old men? that's our target demographic! the crowd listened and we all learned a li'l something:

-bagels, lox, herring, fruit and pastries make for a bangin' breakfast
-Denny Dias' cousin lives in MD
-hip hop can do anything.

i'd like to extend a special thanks to Harvey Maisel (and his lovely wife Andrea) for the gracious invitation, as well as for making the insanely genious suggestion that hip hop come out to Har Shalom.

for those who purchased the "PARANOIA" cd, lets talk- the website has a guestbook that you can access right HERE

and last, but not least: somebody is buying all that porn...
nobody has to make any admissions
i just thought i'd bring it up.

easy,
dp

ps. hip hop is like family... i might have higher standards for mine than yours
pps. why is steve czaban reading Jady's email right now? sports addicts represent...
