Back from the Xmas break...

and feeling quite swept off of these two feet to be frank.

The Flu has swept through our familial residence like a tempest, furthermore I although ill, am the fittest in the household via virtue of compasrison, so all domestic duties fall to me.

It's far from the 'lightest bag' in terms of work and I am feeling a little lethargic o_O

my work load for today is an absolute myth festival.

...

I just thought you should know that!

Back on my Bizzy status,

 the little lady is back from Ethiopia 2mw ^_^ and in the meantime,

I have alot to do...

Fine!?!? Fine then... but you didn't find an easy fine.

At around 8ish this morning I had a run in with an 'undercover enforcer' for Newham Council,who attempted to fine me

£50 for littering.

I must state at this point that I was not...

fly-tipping,

or throwing a half eaten panini at a Community Support Officer.

He caught me dropping a cigarette on the floor...

In my defense there's no 'fag-bin' on the wall, so I'd never really thought of an alternative.

Anyways,

the way the whole situation transpired was really quite surreal

(maybe because I had pretty much just woke up),

 he stopped me and pulled out his Council Badge 

which just happened to be official looking to an unnecessary extent, adorned with some coat of arms and i'm sure meant to intimidate as soon as revealed.

He explained that he was fining me for dropping my butt on the floor and emplored me to give him my details. I was in the process of creating false information to give him, when all of a sudden I felt this immense disdain towards the idea of having to invent some pseudo-persona and accompanying information to give this man.

I told him "... Actually, no..."

and he was a little taken aback, I think partly by my defiance and the contagiousness of my morning-stupidity but I had to ask him "Sorry... you're going to have to walk me through this again"

and he was like "I'm fining you because I just watched you walk up and throw down your cigarette butt"

so my response was "Why didn't you stop me!?!"

to which he said "Why didn't you put it in the bin!?!"

I was like "A lit fag in the bin? C'mon there's not even a cigarette bin here what do you expect?"

to which his implausible response was that firstly we're responsible for the localtion of cigarette bins and furthermore, that I should've dotted the butt out and "Put it in my cigarette box"

by this time I think communications had broke down because he reverted to asking for me details.

He certainly wasn't happy when I told him "You'll just have to phone the police",

 but the fact is his attempt to scare me by mentioning the magistrate didn't work, So we were at the kind of stalemate that can only be resolved with police intervention.

Still, It brought real Christmas cheer to my heart getting to tell him "No, and it's ok... I have a blog!"

the last time he asked "what's your date of birth" 

adding that I could "Complain after providing my details".

Eventually he let me go, as not only would it've been time consuming to detain me, but also'people like myself' clearly weren't the intended target of the 'mornings operation'.

These two council officials were there to try draw money out of the people on the way to work. Which is quite sad seeing as they'd've been better placed gritting the dangerous pavements so these same people could get to work and generate income for the local area.

I know the countries broke, but the local authorities could at least have some class to their money making exercises.

For me,

today was a remarkable

and frankly I'm disappointed!

The Instrumentalist...

Production is an important aspect of many music genre's.

In the world of Hip Hop it definitely helps to have someone sharp and innovative behind the buttons, so without further adieu I present to you...

Session 600

I will say little more than that, because his production itself speaks volumes!

Him is called di wah!?!

The 'Crossbow Cannibal'...


my initial response to that name was what we would call a 'plainface' - blank, expressionless and decidedly unimpressed. Please pardon my unmoved state, maybe I am just part of the generation many experts has claimed is 'desensitized to violence' but the fact is, I was very much underwhelmed.

My Sister and I actually had a conversation on how much of a person you actually have to eat to then classify yourself as a cannibal (I'm sure you'd have to eat far less for other people to give you that title).

Either way, one thing I believe to be sure is this.
There is nothing worse than an ill-conceived decision to start a career in 'Serial Murdering' (I wrote that because it sounds wrong lol) only to be stopped early and sent to prison after the world sees you going "I don't know" when asked why you did what you did.

I mean... No movie-like scary over intelligent riddle!?! No laughing madman remorselessness!?!?! No!?!?

Actually not at all, just the buffoonish fumbling of words that was plastered all over today's news. Furthermore, dudes going to have a really difficult time doing his bird. For a start its an albatross rather than a bird of generally smaller size. Plus his crime is one of those ones I'm sure they make your life a misery for committing.

I don't believe the 'Crossbow Cannibals' name will live on in any kind of infamy. Not to mention its a really shit name isn't it!?

15 Minutes of fame. Along time in pen.

Best wishes to the families of the victims

Worth a read...

Jody McIntyre is 'on this ting' as we would say - pretty much the worst person you could possibly drag out of his wheelchair. Although blighted by physical maladies, Mr McIntyre makes up for this with not only the ability to articulate himself superbly, but a firey resolve to affect social change.

Much conjecture surrounding young Jody implies that he came to the riots in order to bait the authorities, but if one does there research and thereby understands how long he has been of his 'particualr disposition' a different picture becomes visible. All you have to do is read his blog and it becomes clear that the government has implored those of Mr McIntyre's social orientation to take to the streets and seek 'dialogue with parliament' via less conventional means.

As an astute and mindful youngman, he has sought to ride the crest of this wave and continues to present himself as more and more of a credible 'alternative social commentator'.

I tell you this with absolute certainty, Jody's stuff is definitely worth a read!

So I'm watching the news...

and up pops this bit about Tory MP Nigel Evans coming out of the closet.

Congratulations init!

 I've never been one to discriminate,

 so don't expect me to launch into the cliched West-Indian response of spouting 'KillBattyManisms',

 it's simply not my thing.

However, when somebody comes pirouetting out of the closet, I don't think it's appropriate for them to make us pay for their ballet shoes.

To sum it up in a 'short and sweet' manner, I like fat girls... not bovine fat, but chubby init, thunder thighs, jiggly bums - that sort of thing. I don't expect you to pay for that in any way shape or form, for it is a manner of sexual orientation with very little bearing on politics.

Thus, I'd like to ask this - Don't support groups cost money??

Why is money being spent on such a whimsical cause by the same political party, which has caused such furore recently with the tuition fees mess, and its slashing of funding to many of the poorest parts of London and ultimately England.

Are their no other support groups that could meet this supposed need??

Also, whereas the declaration that the Conservative party has more openly gay politicians than all the other parties put together may be comforting to those in the 'LGBT community' of the UK (assuming there is such a tangible thing), I believe that acts like this show that their may be a conflict of interests in the fact that our current government seem more and more detached from the wants, needs and priorities of much it's proletariat.

See me,

I'm still not convinced

"we're all in this together".

Challenging stereotypes and motivating to achieve pt 2

As you know, my name is 'Bizzy' for a good reason, and there is a mix-bag of things that I do!

Having said that, I don't do nearly as much as my current 'co-conspiritor'

Yanik Beya,

who is nothing short of thorough.

Although I've helped greatly (as have many of his closer family and friends), dude could quite legitmately make the claim of having started the 'Imhotep Foundation' all on his own, as his vision, composure and organisation are the main reason that the project has come to fruition.

Having said that, I'm none too shabby with the ol' thought process myself, so there's a lot on the way out of the pipeline - with my name daubed all over it!

But anyways less of the speculative conjecture and chitter chatter,

the website is due a few little aesthetic tweaks,

 furthermore we shall soon be putting up  Job vacancies and volunteer oppurtunities!

In the meantime, we've already made a few changes and added some stuff to the gallery section!

Please have a look and take a moment to give me any feedback on any probems/suggestions you have.

Anyways for the moment,

PEACE!

UK's unsung heroes...

Because Grime is the inner city thing, quite often the Hip-Hop heads of this country get forgotten about.

So I'm gonna drop some names and plead the case for their recognition.

Eurgh!

Is a busy guy - he gets it in for the UK. As the president of the Don't Flop Battle Rap League (the UK equivalent of America's Grind Time Now and Canada's KODT League), dude does this internationally

as the evidence...

clearly shows!

Even though the Don't Flop league doesn't have the amount of talent its counterparts have,

 its obviously growing - and furthermore the leagues Capo doesn't play when he flies out!

Logic

Is number two on my list (even though its 'no particular order') and truth is I don't have to say much!!

Brixton's Logical one is a scene mainstay for a good reason...

namely that the dude...

makes sense.

Speaking of logic, I move on to the last UK mainstay I wanna talk about...

Lowkey

Who isn't really an unsung hero as much as a known bubble burster, 

If ignorance is bliss, then its only because it is measured by comparison to it's binary opposite.

Lowkey makes it very clear that knowledge...

can be a VERY....

BITTER...

COMMODITY.

Friends roadmans, countrymen

I present

Eurgh, Logic, Lowkey

ARE YOU...

ON CHEAP DRUGS!?!?

Is a question I often find myself asking the world,

 and many of it's inhabitants.

Today that question is levied at the daughter of

Dave Batista.

Answer me this - why would the daughter of a man so clearly bovine (he's differently 'wenny', his tattoo is probably bigger than my arm) attempt to infuriate her father with such a half-assed publicity stunt.

For those who don't know

Athena Batista, the 18 yr old daughter of Batista has released a sextape of herself and boyfriend Justin Miller on Worldstarhiphop.com.

Really... she should be learning how to do something useful from her father, so she can have a healthy and respectable career of some description, kinda like...

Jayden and Willow Smith,

 who have both been busy making moves.

Rather she has gone the route of deplorable

Montana Fishburne,

who decided to soil her fathers illustrious and well-respected career by recently being feature in her own sextape with one man pornographic g-unit tribute act Brian Pumper.

It's not a good look out here...

and I really hope that everybody gets an old school beating for this sh*t.

I mean fact is, if you're givrn ANY legitimate legacy in this life, you should show gratitude rather than the arrogance it takes to taint anothers hard work like that!

I really hope both Athena and Justin, get some of this...

because both of them violated thoughtlessly.

And furthermore they plan on release more videos...

Hangtite...

the youngers I just saw run up on costcutter with snowballs.

The 'roads are cold' at the best of time, but from what I just saw at the end of the road things have gotten worse in the current climate.

The till got snowballed,

the guy from costcutter got snowballed (he never threw any back)

and some stupid woman said "you'd better not snowball my car"

to some poor little girl, who never even knew

this shortback and sides wearing ogress even existed until she shrekked out her paranoid utterance.

I heard "It's Tristian!!" from across the road

and firmly responded "ARE YOU ON DRUGS!?!?!" 

in order to deter any attack, still youngers like CJ don't want it with me.

As he just found out, I'm a grown ass man!

which means I don't just make 1 snowball and throw it,

I put 12 in a carrier bag and get ready

TO GO TO WAR!!

Snow Joke...

Okay, I know I'm very much stating the obvious,

but it must be said - Today the sky is talking a different language

It's definitely a f*ck going outside day (take it from me, I've had to leave the yard - outside is dire!)

...as today going outside could f*ck you

My advice - stay inside and watch something funny!
My recommendation? Grind time!!

This one looked proper heated...

you know when you get the feeling somethings going to pop off??

Well...

as you can see there was quite a bit of gas when it came to the aftermath

Priorities...

Are a really funny thing.

The more I look at the world we live in, the more I feel many have their priorities incredibly skewed.

I must say I'm a misanthrope at the best of times, but in my defence it's not me - it's people, sometimes they're just utterly disgusting.

I don't know if anyone elses 'maths' looks the same as mine, but this weeks events have gone a long way towards gently rocking my face from side to side in a disapproving manner.

The Nobel Peace Prize committee have awarded Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo (in what seems to be a transparent attempt at making the Chinese look bad on the world stage),

For the record; ill-advised, ill-conceived and not that clever is my final judgement on the matter. As somebody from 'the bits' I can quite deftly say that's not how you 'drop a par', especially during the same week that it has come to light that Britain is lagging behind in terms of worldwide academic rankings

It's really hard to strike at the credibility of a person or nation when they are clearly better than you in any visible and measurable way - China came top in all the previously mentioned academic rankings.

The irony of the current political climate is profound, as all of this is happening at the same time as a lot of 'my generation' are being forced to fight for an affordable education - even though official records show we're already 'not smart enough'.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure this one out, whilst the Peoples Republic of China are showing their aptitude on the world stage, the United Kingdom with its plump and disillusioned middle class, its increasingly alienated and criminalised working / underclass and swollen elite is looking farcical.

All I know is Camilla's face look's like she's going "What!? Are they shouting Republic!?!?"

And the answer is we probably should be, it really looks like it's us or them.

I really don't understand ideas like Royal Entitlement, but I do know that we all want education and oppurtunities.

I Double dare one of these Fat Cats to say 'let them eat cake', because a lots happened this decade. All the gullible young people have been blown to bits already, only us malcontents are still here, and frankly where itching for a fight with the holders of purse strings.

The same way you can't easily par the Chinese, my Generation will neither sit nor stand for such nonsense.

WE WILL JUST RIOT INIT.



Marger/ The New Waves now...

Daniel Thomas may be smarter than you...

I'm just saying... 

He already knows that 'you can't be a Boss unless your paying someone's salary',
his skills when it comes to organisation / vision is scary to be honest.

Marger's musical product is so authentically grime, but everything from business thinking to online presence is thoroughly more clinical.

For instance, the way Marger carries himself on Twitter speaks volumes - He never says anything counter-productive or stupid, he never ends up looking conceited or self-important.

 I went college with Marger for like a year back in the day so I can tell you a few things-

A) He's really that dude - He is road... SNM

B) He's actually nuts - When he 1st said he was sending for Underground Unit on his own, I remember thinking are you serious!?!  But that was no joke *_* Dude was both capable and felt provoked enough.

Anyways, I chat I chat and really it's not necesarry because Margers work and work ethic speaks for itself,
Friends, Roadmans, Countrymen...
If you didn't already know
ITZ ITZZZ MARGERRRR!!

 

 The 'Kushwave EP' is now available for pre-order and I'm really confident about the numbers it will do...

Then again, I'm sure Marger is too!

It's a good look for East London!

Not nuh magelling...

I'm not a poser by nature,

but on Friday I did my first photoshoot

and I was really happy with the result

Anyway,

pictures say a lot, so I shall let a few of them speak...

Special shout outs to Dabby for letting us snap a few picture's in his cafe, Post, Pali and Chris for contributing loads, Anna Peacock for taking the snaps and braving the Horrible weather conditions.

And Last but not least - Stephanie for organising the whole thing.

 Fourty-Three was the One!!

NSPCC FACEBOOK CAMPAIGN...

I don't know how official this campaign is but it's nothing to change your profile picture to a cartoon in order to show solidarity!! 

I saw it on someone elses status 

Change
your facebook profile picture to a cartoon character from your
childhood and invite your friends to do the same . until monday (6
december) there should be no human faces on facebook but an invasion of
childhood memories . this is a campaign to stop violence against
......children by the NSPCC ! ♥

and thought why not eh!? Sounds like fun!

I picked Hong Kong Phooey still!!

Although, I was very tempted to draw for the 

 

Bloo from Fosters Home for imaginary friends (Original Badman ttkk)

But then again, there are soo many to choose from!!!

Anyways, if your not participating...

I wish genital pneumonia upon you and hope you get varicose veins in your face you ill for your obvious ignorance!

I'm a i'm a Thinker, I don't read magazines, I READ SOYINKA!!!

That's what's really good! 

And I tell you this..

Wole Soyinka has got bars! Let me just quote at random 

. . . You cyst, you cyst, 

you splint in the arrow of arrogance,

the dog in dogma, tick of a heretic,
the tick in politics, the mock of democracy,

the mar of marxism, a tick of the fanatic,

the boo in buddhism, the ham in Mohammed, 

the dash in the crisis-cross of Christ,

a dot on the I of ego, an ass in the mass,
the ash in ashram, a boot in kibbutz,

oh how dare you raise your hindquarters you dog of dogma

and cast the scent of your existence on the lamp-post of Destiny, 

you HOLE IN THE ZERO OF NOTHING.

Say Niente

Anyways, I'm gonna pick out a book to read from the 'Family Library' and I'll do a review or something like that. 

It would be nice to build up a little reading list here or something.

Back from the Dead...

I don't deal with rumours...

slander maybe, but not rumours - it's not Gossip Season!

The last time I checked (or anyone did for that manner) www.spifftv.com was DEAD...

I'm happy to say that spifftv just told me on twitter that I should...

check the life support machine again 

before talking funeral arrangements and florist discounts (pulls the 'Man a Gyalist' face)

Anyways www.spifftv.com is officially...

 

BACK FROM THE DEAD!

My Roti...

 

Has to be Daal.... ARE YOU MENTAL!?!

I'll fly the till and beat up the chef like... NAH!!!

 

SHOW ME THE LENTILS!!!!

Are you on cheap drugs!?!?!

and if I can't afford the meal, I'll go DENTAL!!

Requiescat In Pace...

SPIFFTV.COM

Whilst nobody that isn't close family knows the cause of death at this moment in time, the assumption is that the demise may be somehow related to Internet Gangsters.

Internet Gangsters have been an increasingly bigger and more worrying problem here on the many 'e-streets' that make up the 'world wide interweb', and although no e-bullet fragments have been found - I can confidently say that there is either blood on somebodies keyboard, or SpiffTv bandana overdosed (OB'd).

I really hope there is some kind of inquiry, 

but at the same time I won't be surpised whatever the end verdict is.

Eitherway, we will all dearly miss u Spiff and hopefully lessons will be learned, Like:

Too much Gas and (fake) Grease may just kill your poor website.

Rest in peace Spiffy 

*sheds tears* 

Now how will anyone see Johnny Gunz spray bars

Last but not least...

I've met a lot of people during this life of mine,

many who I still hold dearly and call friends-

So it's important that I 'pay my Jews dues!'

Today marks the start of celebrations for many of my Jewish friends, so wherever you are at the moment...

Have a good one!

Just because...

I'm a normal guy, won't act like i'm thuggy

Still know how to fight, i'll teach man how to dougie

Still cop shit from a local druggie

That goes shoplifting with a buggy

F*ck off, its obviously Gully

Won't say its Gaza, but the strips ugly

I make money, but money don't love me

casual relationship, its all lovely!!

I'm on my DIY like LAURENCE LLEWELYN-BOWEN...

As you can see....

I'm deh pon this re-decorating ting! 

Aesthetics is like nine tenths of the law, here on the World Wide Interweb

so i'm gonna keep changing stuff until i'm fully convinced the site's as nice as I can possibly make it.

Anyways, enough about myself, here's something I stumbled upon on SpiffTv

Friends, Roadmans and Countrymen

LIL MCKELL!!

it raised a chuckle out of me 

and i'm one of them stone faced guys, 

i'm always serious like Deep Vein Thrombosis
