In some Grinch like shit that makes their green uniforms strangely appropriate, park cops in Brooklyn proved themselves to be embarrassingly behind the times in shutting down a chill jib session in Fort Greene Park last Sunday. They walked right up to the jump, didn’t bother to say one word to anyone, kicked it down, and threatened to give everyone a summons. It was only after they realized that they had engaged an intelligent and level headed group of snowboarders instead of perhaps the hooligans they had been anticipating, that they started talking. Unfortunately they didn’t have anything to say that wasn’t completely retarded. You just have to laugh.

This one is straight from the heart. My big big homie Deka aka Dekatron Don aka BLK OPS General Salute! has just finished Cormega’s new video “Journey.” If you don’t know a) go read some other column, and b) Mega is the truth behind much of Nas’ early career. Do yourself a favor and get a hold of “The Realness,” or better yet, the original version of “Testament” and do the math on this much maligned, always under-appreciated, true QB MC. Respect.
