Waffles and Fafalafels

Went to Bobbito's "Waffles and Fafalafels" night at APT on the edge of the West Village the other night....Very smooth.

Any DJ, who is able to mix Stevie Wonder in with old-school pre-84 hip-hop tracks is A-OK in my book. However, with Bobbito a.k.a DJ Cucumber Slice, he's more than A-OK. The way the dude plays the game of life is "butter smooth", and you better believe it, and not just because he interrupts his sets to wish Stevie "Happy Birthday". Bobbito put out a great book this past December called "Where'd you Get Those?" It's a coffee table style book about sneaker culture in New York City. It really is incredible, and I'll put up a review on it in the site...Be on the lookout for it...Ex-Riverside Hawk, Bronx native, and Carolina "basketball grasshopper", Brian Reese, gives it a thumbs-up....After checking it out, B-Reese went to tell Phil Ford that he "saw a picture of him getting a J busted in his face by Butch Lee."...The picture is quite ill....

Bobbito, who believe me is the Renaissance man for the new century, dedicates a night once every few months to Stevie Wonder with DJ Spinna at a different club around the city...It's bangin! Master-Blaster style. For me, it's like I'm spending a night on Sesame Street...All night Stevie and songs composed by Stevie. Perfect idea for a show at WXYC....Stevie Wonder Night at WXYC...Ahhh Siiittt!!!

Cool sight - Dapped up Questlove of the Roots...very cool dude.
