So uhh, tic toc and keep tickin...
I'm going on a little vacation. I need to get away, go enjoy some beach, some water. I'm going somewhere where there is sand, water, sun, no cell phone service, and barely any English (it's a good time to brush up on my Arabic again - "ana ila al-maghrab"), so I'm gonna miss the NBA Draft (unless I can find some ill spot that showing the Draft... that would be one unbelievable story). But we're gonna keep it going even without me... meet my Wu-Tang Clan:
It's the Method Man for short Mr. Seth
Seth from Posting and Toasting = Method Man. Bloggers crossin' over! Seriously, he'll be here to give updates on the Knicks (via links to whatever he's posting), plus we may even get to see a little of what Seth thinks of non-Knicks topics. And I'll make the obvious joke... yes, Seth and I are like the Method Man and The Rza (that's me) singing "You're All I Need To Get By" on the Meth's album, before they decide it might be a good idea to enlist a female singer like Mary J. Blige to sing with the Meth. If you have no idea what I'm talking about... well, the Method Man and the Rza harmonizing together on some Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrill ish was, um, quite interesting...
What's that sh*t Seth be posting? Tical!
For cryin out loud my style is wild so book me
The Marathon Man = Ghostface Killah. The self-proclaimed Master Douchebag himself, Marathon is going to be hitting us with some on-the-spot reporting - he'll be both at the No Mas Pre-Draft Event (buy Billups a beer, though I am disappointed that I won't get to meet the man myself), and at the NBA Draft live from the Garden. Hopefully he'll get some good pics, too. Also, given that he's a douche (when drunk), he's easy to hate at first (like Ghostface) but eventually finds an audience that appreciates his talents.
Bite my style I'll bite your motherfuckin ass! Barnesgasm = Old Dirty Bastard. No explanation needed.
Bolivian Mark = Cappadonna. This one is easy... Bolivian Mark is only going to drop by for one post, but it will be longish and very high quality, not unlike Cappadonna's infamous "Winter Warz" verse that went on straight for like 2 minutes. Peruvian Mark is gonna hit us off (hopefully) with a short story (don't worry, it won't be too long) about sports. I know that is unheard of in the sports blog world, but give it a chance, as he is a good and funny author who has had work published before, and is working on a longer book. Also the most likely guy to end up driving a taxicab in Baltimore.
Now they money's gettin stuck to the gum under the table.
The Greek Professor = The Gza. I mean, he has spent the last decade in school, including the last 5 years working on a Ph.D. Hailing from Brooklyn (Flatbush-born), one of the funniest cats I've ever known, and who still maintains his street credibility. Last time I saw him he was ice grilling a judge in Providence, so you know if he appears it'll be fun. Hopefully he'll have time to check out the hot dog eating contest in Coney Island (presuming he makes it back to Bucktown in time), and report on Joey Chestnut's prowess. And maybe explain what the hell that Gza line means, exactly.
Willie Fuego = Masta Killa. Won't appear too much, very seldom, but when he does it'll be some new sh*t you ain't ever seen before.
DJM = Raekwon. He'll be the producer while I am gone (or, to be accurater, if I'm the Rza, he is the 4th Disciple, the backup/sub producer), making sure that everything runs smoothly on the site, that there is new material up almost every day, including his daily (Monday-Friday, except holidays) "Instant Breakfast posts", which will be excerpted from his daily e-mail letter. They will be short and entertaining. He may add a bunch of other posts if all goes well.
Also possibly contributing: Marathon's McGill friend is a big Toronto Blue Jays fan, so we are trying to get him to do some spot Blue Jays posting, especially since i have been shamefully poor on it. I gave it up faster than Simmons did the Premiership... embarassing. So hopefully he can rectify that. And if so, we'll have the most Canadian sports blog ever - sorry, Skeets & Tas. We're number one, and we don't even need a real Canadian to do it... we have Canadian DJM, and three McGill grads (including Bolivian Mark) posting on the site. All your provinces belonging to us....

Also worth noting that if I had compared either Willie Fuego or Greek Prof to Ghostface they would have punched me in the face (or spit in my eye). It's amazing how his rep has improved over the years.
Well, what a time I chose to take a vacation... on our biggest day ever, thanks to Will Leitch's meta link today, with the biggest event of the offseason (the NBA Draft) on the horizon... wow. Terrific timing on my part. I hope Al-Maghrab is worth it....
Not many comparisons left, but you need to fill the roles of U-God and Inspectah Deck. You need to find a blogger that is like that dude that will sit back and know you lying and will take you to court after that.
And to think, I was beginning to feel like I was SML's Cappadonna...
Compared to Tony Starks and heading to the draft?
Best. Week. Ever. (/Shanoff)
