I morgen kommer Joell Ortiz til Parkteateret for å fortelle litt "Brooklyn Bullshit". Der bør du virkelig være...




Yeah, og fuck hipstere...

"That's why I don't understand how Wes Jackson and his Brooklyn Bodega Productions can have a second annual Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival steps away from where I live and refuse to have me perform. I take it as an insult as do most of the people that live in the neighborhood I grew up in. I know to Wes and his people at the Brooklyn Bodega don't give a fuck about how "we" think but Imma put it out there anyway.
You see, my hood (Williamsburgh, Greenpoint, Bushwick) has been gentrified over the past few years. A lot of my peoples have had to move cause the landlords been getting rid of us to move in the hipsters that Wes and his Brooklyn Bodega people represent. On the real, I feel It's some segregation shit.
Some of these hipsters kinda look down on us that grew up around here. For example, Last year none of us locals knew about this so called Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival. No barbershop had fliers. No REAL "Brooklyn Bodegas" around here knew about that event and NO rappers from the immediate area were on the bill. As a matter of fact, the good folks from the Brooklyn Bodega had NO Brooklyn rappers on the bill for the Brooklyn Hip Hop festival last year! How can you call yourself having a Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival with no one from BK reppin? Sounds funny but its true yall." - Joell Ortiz
