LET'S GO Web Series Review



What's woody wood, grasshoppers?

I wanna give a review about season 1 of the web series Let's Go

The series is based in Brownsville, Brooklyn which shows the grime and grit of the hood

The series was action packed throughout, and properly gave people a tour of the good, the bad and the ugly of Brownsville....from friendship, betrayal, and the funny shit you may see on the regular...not to mention the sexy ass ladies

Someone should give Denise my number

The character who played "Denise" in the show is the beauty right 'chea, better known as Diamond The Body


While I think the sex scene between Denise and Class could've been better, I think the series overall is a good look for urban web series fans

My favorite characters are Mel and Jonathan...the funniest cats in the series...they most definitely should've gotten more airtime because they gave me life thru 12 episodes

And with that said, I wanna give the PROS and CONS of the web series

PROS

Action
Realism of Brooklyn
Professional camera work
Comedy from Mel and Jonathan
Denise (LOL)
Drinking as a form of painkiller (a lot of people don't realize that drinking sometimes numbs the pain)
The handshake (reminds me of mob shakes back home in the Chi)

CONS

Too many characters
Not enough suspense
Lacking plot twists
Too many dry spots (some of the episodes needed to be shorter and straight to the point)
The acting from some of the characters needs improvement

Overall, the series kept my attention throughout the long rides to Maryland and Long Island

I see the potential of Let's Go, but in order to take the series to the next level, the writer(s) of Let's Go needs to figure out how to separate themselves from other urban web series content wise

Shout out to C-Class for winning the Best Actor in a Lead Role @ the 2018 Urban Web Series awards


FINAL GRADE - 7/10

Aight, I'm Audi 5G

P.S.

The YouTube thumbnail of episode 1 was a good marketing tactic to draw me into watching the series considering that the scene came much later...LOL...smh

The Best eMCee from each Borough


What's woody wood, grasshoppers?

I made a list of the best eMCee from each borough in NYC...a borough is a part of NY...kinda like your ward, district, etc.

And NYC is made of 5 boroughs: Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Staten Island, and the Bronx

I added Long Island for good measure

By the way, Long Island is not really an island unless you count Brooklyn and Queens (which is connected to Long Island)

Anywho, sit back, relax, and peep my list

Criminal Minded

Rest In Power - AD The General




What's woody wood, grasshoppers?

I want to give a 21 gunz salute to a very dear associate, A.D. the General

She passed away last weekend during the Nor'easter that hit NYC

CLICK HERE to read the article

A.D. had hosted the Elegant Hoodness music showcases in NYC and other parts of the country, and was one of the many promoters who showed me love in my eMCee days

Yes...
...I used to rap



I performed at a few of her shows in The Bronx and Brooklyn...very cool and supportive of my endeavors...we haven't spoken since I stepped away from the music biz in 2008, but her vibe and spirit will be missed

One love Anaida Duran

Aight ya'll, I'm Audi 5 stacks 

Peace and Afro Grease

Nah'Sun the Great @ www.nahsunblaze.com

P.S.

Copastetic is one of my favorite words because of A.D.

SURE SHOT! Troy Ave - 2 Legit 2 Quit

What's woody wood, grasshoppers?

I don't rock with today's rap music for various reasons, but I fucks with Troy Ave's new banga 2 Legit 2 Quit

The track is pretty much about the infamous shooting that happened at Irving Plaza in NYC two years ago...the comic strip in the video is a dope concept...he also lick shots at TaxstoneJoe Budden, Mysonne, Cassanova 2X, and his ex BSB homies

If you're unfamiliar with the unfortunate event @ Irving Plaza, CLICK HERE and read

In the meanwhile, CLICK HERE to listen to the song that I have on repeat, or peep the video below

Aye!



Aight, I'm Audi 5 stacks

New York Women

What's woody wood, grasshoppers?

I have a quick question to ask...


...why are New York women so damn mean?!

And why do I think New York women walk around with a chip on their shoulders?

I used to say to my New York buddies, "I don't know how ya'll can deal with the women here"


So at first, I thought it was just me. But then I found out that other dudes in NYC felt the same way. And I felt better…LOL

I’m from Chicago, and I've met women from different parts of the city when I used to perform and go clubbing in NYC...I noticed a BIG difference between the attitudes of native New Yorkers and out of towners...even Long Island women are much cooler and more down to earth, and Long Island is on the SAME body of land with Brooklyn and Queens!



For everyone who isn’t from New York City, NYC is made up of 5 boroughs: Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Manhattan, and the red headed step-child called Staten Island.

Long Island is east of Queens.

What’s funny is that it got to a point where I KNOW when a woman is NOT from the 5 boroughs.

If you’re a chick who smiles and appears too happy-go-lucky when I see you walking down the street, most likely you’re NOT from New York.

Real talk

How do I know?

I usually strike a conversation with them and find out they aren’t originally from NYC, or when I converse with a woman at a club who lives out of town

I don’t wanna generalize, but the majority of women I’ve met in NYC who acted more easy going were either:


A) From other parts of the United States and moved to New York

B) Older women (age 30 and up)

C) Living on Long Island, Westchester County (north of the Bronx), or New Jersey (across the Hudson River from NYC)




You might say, "King, maybe it's how you approach them"

I’m not the type of dude who normally holla at females on the street. That’s not my style because it’s impersonal, and I understand the bullshit that women go thru from men on a daily basis with the cat calls.

If I catch eye contact with a shorty, I might say, “Hey, beautiful” and go my merry way.

Sometimes I get a response...

...sometimes I don’t

I don’t take it personal when I don't

I don’t take it personal because NYC is a cold, dog-eat-dog, rat race type of city where people are constantly on top of each other.

And people wonder why I rather work and live on Long Island than the boroughs…NYC is TOO stressful...word up

So I understand why New York women put up a defensive wall when you approach them


I laugh to myself when I see a sista mean mugging, but smiles AFTER I say a joke.

Anyway, I’m out like Star Wars

Peace

P.S.

To all the New York women out there; I’m not shitting on ya’ll. But damn, it doesn’t hurt to smile sometimes
