One thing I can always count on from Rissa Riss is a good interview in a short amount of time. She joins us this morning to twist one up and share her feelings about a public school education.

It was my big day.

I had never met Craig Doby but my man Jimbo Gower told me he was solid people.

And to be perfectly honest, Jim could have even told me he was shady and it wouldn’t have mattered. If there’s a banana peel involved you can overlook a lot of character flaws.

But Craig is dope. And he shoots dope videos.

The new video is for the song “Gotta Get It” from rapper Dub Dynamite- but I never actually got to meet him. Most of the footage had already been shot on another day in front of one of my very favorite places in the whole city City Liquidators.

but I had a very specialized job

They didn’t bring me in to meet people or to shake hands though. They brought me in for one job and Jim set the tone early with his professionalism.

blam! acting.

So here’s the whole video.

Dub Dynamite articulates a message of hard work and effort equaling success. Combining a gorgeous dancer with a dude who must have had to do a million stairs and push-ups for the shoot- the video is a montage over a motivating track that should resonate with anyone pushing towards their goals above all the dumb shit. Maximum respect for letting me be a part of it.

This morning on Coffee+Bonghits, I was fortunate to sit down with my friend and fellow dope emcee Diction Uno. We talked about his plans to move out of country, his 3O day break from social media, and his own personal battles with addiction. Then I asked him one final question and thought his answer deserved to be shared.

I asked him “in 2020 what do you see that most separates those who can from those who can’t?“

this year’s most scariest costume is going to be a maskless face

Hundreds of thousands of Americans have now died, and millions live in fear and apprehension. The president of the United States gave them all a clear message on Monday as he left the hospital in a drug induced mania and took a helicopter directly to the White House- like any healthy, COVID infected medical refugee would do.

“nothing can defeat the power of lying”

(which also implies vampires)

AND THE DEPLORABLES ARE EATING IT UP

it’s like a freshly blended pumpkin smoothie of reinforcement for bad opinions.

either:

a. the president is so strong!

b. the coronavirus is all hype.

EITHER WAY

better turn off your porch light, unscrew the bulb, stop paying your electricity and move out of town otherwise expect a whole army of regular faced kids knocking on your door with their gun-carrying parents standing in the shadows encouraging their children to tell you the virus is fake demanding enough candy for dinner.

I SEENT THE PRESIDENT TURN INTO A VAMPIRE ON THE NEWS AND THEN DEFEAT THE POWERS OF THE NIGHT. HE HAD FANGS AND EVERYTHING!”

There’s a big beautiful building with huge windows located near the busy transit lines sitting there unused- and ironically enough it was constructed as a memorial to veterans.

It’s owned by the city and operating as an afterthought. The catering to lowend events is betraying my memories of raucous Trailblazer games and going to the Tournament of the Americas with my mom and an occasional circus when some in-law got some passes.

They wanted to tear it down for many reasons.

But they yelled out in protest every time

“you can’t tear down a memorial”

but what good is a memorial when it exists as a brutal mockery to the people it is intended to honor? The veterans who have nowhere else to go besides the streets?

Imagine how it must make them feel to have given so much and be treated so badly.

While the building sits empty.

it sits defunct- hoping to someday be renovated with 80 million dollars of tourist tax dollars approved in 2019 by the county.

while at the same time giving this much to homeless services

look at those huge windows.

you could grow a year round indoor garden in there.

Instead of expecting those among us with the least to traverse across the city to find the wrap around services required to rebuild your life to the point where you can actually take full of advantage of housing opportunities, all social service agencies could relocate their offices to the Rose Quarter, making it more convenient for everyone involved.

Temperatures could be checked and full COVID screening could be offered at the doorways.

The Coliseum is also centrally located on multiple Max and Tri-Met bus lines whereas the Mt Scott community center is terribly underserved for transit.

The Mt Scott community center has been operating for several years as emergency temporary shelter for a minimum number of beds and staffed completely by volunteers. It is not designed to be used for such purposes and the community surrounding it isn’t capable of handling the influx of such large numbers of people loitering before and after the center opens.

But that isn’t gonna stop Ted from showing up and taking credit for it- as mentioned here.

you should call Ted and ask him to do one last thing before Sarah takes his job

In 2016 there were several really good solutions for the increasing houseless epidemic. None of the good ones have been attempted. Ted just wants more temporary, expensive solutions with little return on the investment.

The can has been kicked down the road for too long. Don’t our veterans deserve better?

DOESN’T THE CITY?

but damn I know he tried

An invitation to run The Gauntlet seemed fun enough when Jimbo hit me up with the idea-
sit down with Dirty Blakk for an episode of Dirty Dabs
and smoke a shitload of pot.
Everybody can smoke a shitload of pot but can you smoke a SHIT LOAD of pot? I don’t even consider myself that kind of smoker. I’m a low tolerance guy, but I’m never one to turn down a challenge or an opportunity to be on a friends show.

ANYTHING ELSE IS MIGHT SAY WOULD BE A SPOILER
SO JUST WATCH UM

OKAY NOW THAT YOU KNOW I WON THAT SHIT
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING

it was so hard

okay so look what kind of friend would I bet if I didn’t tell you that in real life my dude is a dopeass emcee and one half of the Trunk Mobb?
maximum respek to my true player for real. go check out his music.
