F.O.K.U.S. presents The Stoop 2009 hosted by PattyDukes and Rephstar of Circa ’95
Saturday, August 8th:
The Stoop is a vital opportunity to see various genres of music, art and community in one setting. Many great people and opportunities are present throughout our communities, but without awareness we do not learn about them and leverage such relations for the betterment of our communities and our youth.
With a headline performance from the highly energetic, live remix band Keys N Krates, and supporting sets from emerging talents such as Belikos, Caleb Curtis, Gist aka The Essence, The Kid Daytona, Fascious and The Approaching Storm (a youth marching band) this year’s event promises to be a fantastic and unique addition to NY’s roster of summer events.
Organizations like The Orange Giraffe, New York Chess & Game Shop, Bowery Arts and Science and Yelp! will host information tables at the event, and Photo by TONE will be on taking pictures of the event and attendees.
Begins at 1:00pm

Drake – “Best I Ever Had” {Dir: Kanye West}
Drake “Best I Ever Had” from kwest on Vimeo.
Now I promise I will lay off the Drake and Kanye posts. Shit, I promise I will post more period. But I just wanted to take this moment to let you know how displaced my mood was after I watched this video. I think Kanye is going for this whole Jonzesque episode of boyish, tongue in cheek humour… which is cool …trust. Unfortunately though, for both Drake and the buying listening experiencing public, I think the non-eventiness {my word, don’t bite..or matter of fact…go head and bite} of the piece, which I know was totally calculated, really does a disservice to what WAS one of the biggest breakthrough singles to hit mainstream Hip-Hop in years. Kanye gonna say it was purposefully crass. He’s gonna say its sensibility is what makes it “art”. He’s probably gonna say it in all lowercase {because he’ll be on some new shit}, and the trendhounds will probably eat it up. But it’s going to be hard to get over on people on their fifth and fifteenth and fiftieth viewings. Yeah, you’re thinking bout it now, right? Not poppin, huh? All that said, I liked the opening. The slowmo entrance was very Spike/Hype (c) ‘94, and those dudes and that year get me every time. And I’m a heterosexual male. And it was filmed around the corner from my crib. And I’m a heterosexual male. And uhh, I like the lighting. So it gets a pass… A 5 minute “go to talk to the principal out in the hallway” pass. So [Yung] money better start getting his “stadium status” on quickfast. Oh yeah… I told you so. Shouts to those demons in the NMC for the …everything…those guys are good. Real good. And just in case you are too cool to click the link to see what I was referring to as far as that opening is concerned, here is the G.O.A.T. slow mo intro to a breakthrough single.
