We Major Wednesdays: Stephon Marbury (Allegedly) Threatens to Spill Sh*t on Isiah Thomas

The knicks in my favorite team and I'm from brooklyn so I don't know what ill do when the nets move to brooklyn.I have a bigger loyalty to brooklyn more than nyc. As far marbury this guy is like the guy who use to be a superstar and fail to realse he no longer is. The wierd thing he does so many charitable things off the court but dud is a horrible teamate u love him and hate him. But the knicks is in more scambles than any other team I could remember more than the mets in the early 90's. They should buyout marbury and fire issah. The bad part is the two guys who play defense plays the sme positon.

Question for all the nuckers out there? Since Pacman is going to snitch is your culture still down with him? Because from what I remember, when he was banished for a year and under scrutiny, all the moolies came out the woodworks and came to his defense...Please someone answer this for me..It appears that he is going to pull a " Ray Lewis" and snitch on his boys.....Fuck Marbury...Knicks suck anyways..

Isiah is a fucking dick and I hope Steph let's all the shit out the bag. fuck Isiah...that cocksucker. He's the worst thing to happen to the knicks!!!

THE KNICKS ARE TRYING TO USE STARBURY AS A ESCAPEGOAT FOR THE EMBARASSING OFF SEASON. STEPHON KEEP YA HEAD THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TRADE YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE TO MAKE 42 MILLIONS IN THE NEXT TWO YEAR. SO THE ONLY OPTION WOULD BE TO FIRED THE COACH. BUT IT WOULD HARM THE APPEAL AGAINST THE WOMAN WHO WON 11 MILLION DOLLARS. WHY DIDN'T THEY FIRE THOMAS BEFORE THE SEASON. TERRIBLE GM AND COACH. HE WAS OK WITH THE PACERS BUT THINKS MONEY GROW ON TREES IN NYC.

I feel bad 4 Isiah!!!! Tha nigga is never ever gonna b able 2 touch n ething wit tha NBA on it!!!!!!!!.....1st he fucked up tha Raptors now tha KNicks!!!.......Granted tha Knicks wasnt shit when he got tha team but they defitnelly aint shit NOW!!!!!!!........ These nigga just b blowin money get them trash bag players and givin them niggaz gwap!!!! ........ Marbury aint worth no 42 million he seems like he dosent even care about winning!!!! ...... And plus i heard that nigga goin over seas ASAP!!!

none of these 2 dudes is shit. the nyc aint goin nowhere this season and they will not go anywhere next season if they still count on the same pony ass coach and players

GOT TO DISAGREE. WITH YA PLAYBOY..ISIAH MADE THE RAPTOR A GREAT TEAM WITH STOUDAMIRE AS THE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR. TOOK THE PACERS TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP AS A COACH. JUST INHERIT A CRAPPY TEAM WITH THE KNICKS AND THOUGHT HE COULD BUY A TEAM.

Starbury is straight ready to start dry snitchin, thats why he'll never shine and get respect in NYC. he need to play and show what he got, but he don't have anything. Isiah neeeds to cut your bum A$$. I can't wait till the Nets move to Brooklyn. TheKnicks haven't been my team since they got rid of Rod Strickland in the 90's.

Victory Park, you should be shot in the feet and then thrown in the woods with hungary bears.....Isiah Thomas had the Pacers AFTER they went to the finals with LARRY BIRD. With LARRY BIRD , the pacers went to the eastern conference TWICE then the finals. With ISIAH THOMAS , they got swept out of the playoffs in the first round 3 years straight.

Isiah Thomas is the wost thing to happen
Isiah created this team and made it worse then when he got the team
before Isiah (01-04) 106-140
Since Isiah (04-07) 89-159

CLIFFORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A crop of loser in the state of new york, who's really surprise. This situatation is pretty paralell to music, where you totally clueless as to how much you guys suck. Everytime Marbaby has left a team it has improve. Minnesota, New Jersey, Phoneix, and despite it being a joke of a team, even the knick could improve without marbury.

As far as Isiah Thomas goes, I think he is the greatest GM/coach in the league. Who else has the capability to improve the other 29 teams through the managment of 1. Would that make him the G.W. Bush(a guy who through every single action makes you wonder what type of black mail used to get his position) of the NBA

For the love of decency, salvage David Lee, he deserves better.

I Think Marbury just felt a lil slighted he was to be benched, and decided to head back to Coney Island to puff a few blunts wit Ray-Smoove and Killa Sheed.... he'll be back to practice soon....

just think about how fucked up it is to be benched when you playing against ya former team.... thats almost ridicule being that he is a starter and potentially an all-star consideration when he's able to stay healthy and happy.......

Zeeke The Freak and Starbury need to take it to a secluded alley-way, shoot the fair one and go grab some drinks at the nearest 40/40 afterwards and call it a resolution!

U can't shoot me in the foot when it's up in ya a@@. No seriously, my bad about the pacers I thought he was the coach at the time. But what bout the Raptors?He was ok there at least? You can't trade Steph. Dude cost to much to trade. So what do you do? I agree Steph has not proven himself but Thomas agree to pay him.

Marbury = one of the biggest disappointments in the league.
-
How bout them Spurs though, crushin the Kobe Lakers. Bruce Bowen ain't no joke.

i love when yall talk about the knicks cause it gives me a chance to do some justifiable hating. i aint even from new york but im sure everyone in NY knows the knicks are garbage. yall might as well cheer for the nets, they aint even got fans at the games and they're better. i said it last week, as long as you got maurberry, you aint goin nowhere. i thought he was wack because of the bad knees but now he's a snitch too?!?! Come take a trip up north to Toronto to watch how a REAL TEAM operates.
Executive of the Year: Collangello, Coach of the Year: Mitchell, Starting All-Star: Bosh.

we got some real issues here mother

Marbury & Zeek = In high school you used to be the man homey, fuck happened to you! Zeek has never been a good coach! Starbury should have stayed w/da TWolves instead of tryin to chase that $. The $ would have came! He wasnt patient.

:'just think about how fucked up it is to be benched when you playing against ya former team.... thats almost ridicule being that he is a starter and potentially an all-star consideration when he's able to stay healthy and happy......"; i dont agree wit thai marbury is no where near being an all star and isnt a top ten point guard hes being benched kus his shot selection sux and he dosent distribute the ball like a point guard should dude is a joke

Ya dudes is really crazy cause they should have traded marbury instead of francis, cause the last time marbury ever did damage for a whole season was with the t-wolves you know that and i know that. first his dumb ass wanted to be at home... traded to the nets... how did that work out??? TRADED!!! To the suns. he was good over there... he wanted to go home again, and now the FUCKER SUCKS!!! That simple. And if Isiah takes them to the Playoffs??? EVERYBODY CAN KISS HIS ASS!!!

i kno its snithchin but shit..wat else the knicks gon have to talk bout this season

Isiah is an IDIOT but this one is all on Marbury. He needs to wake up and check the calandar. This is 2007 NOT 1997 ...

" B.I.G.S. last words were you lost it homes, you the reason Ill Will is in a coffin yo ..." - Mega

Marbury is a cry baby. They need to buy him out or trade him...HE'S A CANCER!!!!!!

Marbury is the illest gaurd to come out of new york anyone who doesn't agree and has nba 2k8 my gamer tag on xbox live BigBo718.

The Knicks are a sad case of talent with no ideal how to play. They have E and Z in the post with steph at the point this team should be giving the Celtics a run for their money but they are a lot like the Lakers don't play inside out they play outside in you can't win like that.

Steph neva was a star in da league, he shouldve stayed wid KG in Sota he had da chance 2 win a ring but hes a greedy di ck head. Victorypark u idiot Zeke never made it 2 da finals with da Pacers, Larry Legend did it back in 01 f u c k head!! Dude wasted 2 good seasons of Reggie Miller's career.

NATION IDENTIFICATION by Chuck D

(You Done Killed Every Indian, Now You Wanna Talk Steroids and Dogs?)

For the first time as I enter my tenth year of doing these TERRORDOMES, I took about two months to soak in and reflect before I wrote this. No, I didn't take October off, far from it. In music we got enough non-organized problems and chaos- so damn sports, don't they have ESPN to talk non stop about their issues? But early this fall and late summer I smelled something foul in the sports world. Michael Vick, Barry Bonds, Isaiah Thomas, Marion Jones... I smell a rat. White America has got the nerve....... didn't they make Jesus look like Gregg Allman?

Last month was Marion Jones' 32nd birthday and probably was her worst one. In a land where this so called right has been built on and smothered over so much wrong, it's the athletes who are catching wrath from the powers that be. There's a lot of guilt and memory absence going on in the Amerikkkan handbook. Hard cover edition- and this chapter is on the black athlete. Just as the effort to distance the artist and entertainers from the common folk by these companies and many of the artists themselves, there's a message being hurled at the black athlete telling them they better come back to the people.

Once upon a time there wasn't much of a gap between the athlete and the public. Curt flood, free agency, and big money changed all that.... and many black athletes today can't spell his name. They're raised that way from the floor up, to think they're above and beyond the masses and where they came from. Incubated, protected, favored, trained and coached. With Jena, a war going on and a crumbling society, the great Amerikkkan hype machine is fixated on celebrity mess. Now the National Enquirer has bled into politics, court and sport.

Nothing to say, really. I always dug Marion Jones. She faces prison, probably will never get a job associated to sport ever and will run down the same tunnel as Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson at the end of all this. I suggest Jay-Z take the bold approach and make her a rebellious clothes model, same for Sean John and Phat Farm. That's gangster eh? On one hand this country praises the wild west the next it condones it. The Barry Bond's situation testing the waters could only happen after he saw Mark McGuire swell up to a super lumberjack hitting 70 home runs and Sammy Sosa all of a sudden going from rice and bean body up having a 12 pack ab section. Maybe Babe Ruth had too much pork in his diet circa 1927 hot dogs coming off two sub-par seasons?

It's this whole rewriting of history that ticks me off about white Amerikkka. How far back do you wanna go? Before dog and cock fighting they did it with slaves. It's convenient to forget. Hanging was a big sport in White Amerikkka and black folk's heads were the items before the ball. It started when Michael Vick tossed a middle finger last year at a Southern fried home crowd. It's beyond dogs. They need to leave the OJ thing alone, it's played out and it's tired. Somebody tell White Amerikkka to let it go, let it go...

This is the new sport. Celebashing. The field is a 24 hour reality tank and them a**es are bored or just too dumb for the stats. Ignorance of the stats spreads into the everyday effects of people's lives, like the prison industry ratio, healthcare, homelessness, joblessness, presidential ratings, this ignorance is growing like a continental wart. Changing of the history and the statistics takes nerve and audacity. That UNCLE Sam definitely has that between his cheek and jaw. And we are led to dialogue about what he wants to make as central topic. Therefore, at the same time, I'm totally ignoring the celeb-assault on BRITNEY and play down how great JUSTIN is. Listening to the Americmedia he's the one that will get us to forget or never know SAMMY DAVIS JR was ever here.

SICK AND TIRED OF IT Well there gets to be a point where there's little to say about racism in Amerikkka which in many ways takes on different looks like a powerful offense. In peeping the bootleg of AMERICAN GANGSTER while checking the promotion of the movie on billboards and television in NY, ATL, and Lost Angeles's, the whole Hollyweird pairing of RUSSELL CROWE as the front runner in the advertisement again pissed me off the reality. Amerikkka is still black and white like an old TV set, regardless of what they say.

DENZEL WASHINGTON plays Frank Lucas, a disciple of Bumpy Johnson, and again there's sympathy for the bad guy. In the wake of TYLER PERRY's conquest of Hollywack with his 'WHY DID I GET MARRIED' this movie is again proof of white corporate Amerikkkan big hollywimp money invested in making us black folk feel fu*ked up. The ubiquitous 'they' are never seen to invest top dollar in making us feel good off the TV and film imagery. The green light is never on when it's a 'positive' thing about us and the banks remain closed. DENZEL will probably get an Oscar hurled at him again and everybody go and kiss RUSSEL CROWE's feet for bringing White folk in through the movie doors, eh? When will these lame ass marketing idiots get it that some people want a quality movie regardless of the race?

Sht, maybe I'm off a bit. Maybe this place can't get no better. We gotta keep frontin. Again the FRANK LUCAS character I felt no sympathy for. None. I clearly remember all the junkies being strewn all over the NY metro area back then, especially HARLEM and the BRONX where my relatives lived. My family was affected by this bullsht as well. It was a depressed area to even stay awhile and I hated every second of it until my parents came to get me and my brother and sister and take us back to 'country' Long Island to the grass and trees. Hated the city. Because of the cities neglectful treatment of where black folk and Hispanics lived and also because of the vipers that got rich off taking advantage of the troubled masses.

Based on a true story we have to be leery of this. The movie depicts the beginnings of the love for them gangster fools. All of this to again pour across white America, to let a west Nebraskan think that they can get a read and a feel of a people without ever meeting them. It's the same route that has led the business principle of hip hop and rap music. At it's best it's also at its worst on some fat white man's poker table. Damn a balance. To the Negroes who are hired and fired from beneath the scrotums of these high ranked business culture bandits, they are modern day FRANK LUCAS'. There are more things to serve the community with than tossing turkeys out a truck like the fictional NINO BROWN from New Jack City. If anything the flick shows that crime doesn't pay and FRANK did his time and the crooked cops got theirs in the end. We need to call TYLER PERRY as Minister Of Cultural Defense.

LOSING IT ON KOOL MO DEES 'SPITFIRE' Look out for something very important coming from KOOL MO DEE on the IAMHIPHOP.COM network. Peep the all purpose social musical network for the socio-hip hop talk show 'SPITFIRE'. Shot in the black/ brown neighborhood of Los Angeles all I was thinking as I was looking at black music business guru and sage MR CLARENCE AVANT was WATTSTAX, and how far as a population we'd fallen off. Slaves to image. MR. AVANT's son is a energetic, challenging cat named ALEX AVANT, the head of the IAMHIPHOP network. Alex was truly hustling making his rounds at this past summer's ROCK THE BELLS national tour. He has what it takes, and has the right man to be the voice for the job... MR KOOL MO DEE. During the webroadcast, myself, MC LYTE and TAVIS SMILEY were guests. I was a little beside myself having being disgusted at AMERICAN GANGSTER and the powers that be. I don't say things for controversy sake, I just let loose a cup runneth over. My cup splashed over with VIACOM'S crap and simply said SUMNER REDSTONE was a 'cracker'. Like the plantation owner of electronic cotton picking images, cracking the masses backs open with the crack of the radio- TV-movie-nation radiation whip. Called him out, as I did some others. Tired of his sht. IAMHIPHOP.com people check, check it out.

FINALLY WHODINI, TRIBE So glad WHODINI got their honors on VH1. I rocked to em like I was back on tour with them in 1987. JALIL , ECTASCY, and GRANDMASTER DEE along with the dancers during the FRESH FEST era who later became UTFO (KANGOL Kid, and JERMAINE DUPRI simply turned the place out. ) Also TRIBE CALLED QUEST blew the house out and simply that's what I was there for to pay my respects and check them honored. Was hanging with Tanisha Michelle of BWP, who I'd seen earlier in the day and had ventured in the doors alongside KOOL MO DEE, LA SUNSHINE and DOUG E FRESH.

ON MY WAY THERE.....

On the way to the VH1 Hip hop Honors for the first time since being awarded in 2004. Just happened to be that I was down block-side doing an Air America Radio show taping. Called Bill Adler long time Def Jam publicist about connects into the gig since Nelson Georges' number is on his fingertips. It was my city day amidst a full week in Long Island. When I rolled down to the MSG Garden area at 34th and 8th via train, I was somewhat reintroduced to the reality of ipod culture. As I scrolled through my 6000 plus songs carrying the soundtrack of my and many lives, I thought about some problems I personally had with CD culture. One problem was that people increasingly cared less about the titles of songs and albums. Me as a songwriter put a lot of work into the fact that within a title is a song itself. The CD era reduced songs to mere tracks with the push button access testing the first 10 seconds of a song with few chances on folks getting to ever hear some new break or exciting ending.

The identification of song and artist has focused folks, once again, into figuring out the who and what of the music industry. THE FARRRR EAST CHINA WITH BEATS CHINA to me was like TEXAS - large, wide and expansive. BEIJING is prime for the Olympics in 2008, meaning that many entertainers will be rolling through those shores who previously couldn't play there. PUBLIC ENEMY was simply PE and I agreed that I wasn't commenting about CHINESE government, TIBET, or SON OF A BUSH. Smart enough to know that the songs alone say plenty and I definitely wasn't gonna wait for the Amerikkan government or even put Rev Jackson to get my ass out some Chinese jail. Nope. But I was thinking about wearing a mining hat. I like to make geographical comparison wherever I go, and riding up to the great wall it reminded me of upstate New York. The mountains had the these growth waves of green that reminded me of heads from a doo-rag.

THE NEW TATTOO

So I hear getting shot is the new tattoo. Shows how if you don't have the realities together the fantasy world can truly take over the logic completely . Not only does art imitate life but life can imitate art. The realities of stupidity are thrust upon us in ways the masses are yet to fully understand. OK, I don't really watch the television because now the news is trying to bring sexy back. So the SOPRANOS and INSIDE THE NBA with BARKLEY, SMITH, and JOHNSON remain to catch my attention. I bought the final two box sets of the SOPRANOS season 6 parts 1 and 2. In one of the episodes BOBBY BACCALA gets paid by a gangster rapper played by TREACH of NAUGHTY BY NATURE to shoot him for street and music biz credibility. Baccula shoots him in the ass. Funny but not because ever since the chaos of TUPAC, idiots have counted the dollars off his road of death rather than reach into the positive examples he set within. Then again it's said that black folks are led to follow dead people in leadership rather than the living. A living leading person is a threat. A dead person can't do a damn thing. This choppy road to credibility has disheveled the hip hop artist community.

HIP HOP VS AMERICA. In a way we wait for media to tell us who our leaders are. That's a problem. Who's making that call? When I was on that show it was the day after we did the JAMES BROWN tribute on BET. It was sooooo long ago. The program is like catching a fish in the ocean , freezing it , chopping it, processing it, and serving it specially filet at McDisasters. I was engaging in better conversation backstage with the crew and people like MELYSSA FORD and NELSON GEORGE. On stage I thought that it was good NELLY and T.I. were animated. They should speak up for themselves as men. They ain't no kids, and I'm through with the audience seeing and hearing them in video time as 'live' and on television merely just 'speaking'. I was amazed MIKE JONES said anything and he was sharp on his opinions and answers. The truth is that the managements and the record companies do not want them to speak. They don't train them to speak in front of audiences. It's called no artist development.

SHORT AND WINDED ROAD Short runs are fun indeed. We played BOULDER CO. it was fresh air and the night the audience was awesome. The ORANJ MECHANIK were in the house as well as the opening group were a great group named the FLOBOTS who along with some great musicianship and rhyme flow set the stage well with political commentary and an upcoming rally against Son Of A... In UTAH it was the first time we played since the ANTHRAX- PE tour of 1991. What a world of change eh? Not far from Salt Lake City is the snow lodged town of PARK CITY. Before we played the club named SUEDE I did an interview at the station U92 where hip hop now lives there. They tended to play a lot of West Coast music appropriately so. They sit there. Host KEVIN CRUISE and his DJ EROC gave us great set up props for the show.

In LAS VEGAS, VEGOOSE had its 3rd year and we were a part of it. Big festival again. We dig it. The stage never gets too big. The problem that night was that we were on stage at the very same time as our brothers CYPRESS HILL about 100 yards to the left of us as we were on 2 of the 3 stages. It was a hour quick jog through. AMSTERDANCE ANYONE? In Amsterdam mid October I keynoted the AMSTERDAM DANCE EVENT. All the dance music DJs of the world convened there in a conference, and I was there to spark the dance remixes of BRING THE NOISE by Holland legend FERRY CORSTEN and Italian DJ BENNY BENASSI. From the Netherlands GIVE IT UP was masterfully done by a brilliant cat named DON DIABLO. The thing I admire the most about the dance music community, is their organization and their world acknowledgment to the public. They serve them. Ferry mentioned that the technology flip from vinyl into CDs and MP3s has made it like a simple drive up to turntables and do their thing. The panels were fantastic and informative. Oh how great it would be if hip hop just borrowed a slice of their managing commitment from the dance realm. Of course staying right in the middle of the cities square, a place I've been familiar with for twenty years had myself and my publishing team surrounded by a great choices of restaurants and nightlife.

COLLAB YEAR 2008 Next year promises to be the one that I take care of loose ends and follow through on promises of collaboration. These happen to be backlogged situations that I'm knocking out slowly but surely. While in Amsterdam I hooked up with hip hop dudes I 'd known for twenty years; GUAN 'ALL STAR FRESH' ELMZOON and rapper DEAMS and went in their studio and recorded. As mentioned in these Terrordomes before the completion of a 5 album program since 2005 has led my time. Added with this the running of SLAMjamz label and the upcoming TRIBB TO JB- James Brown Tribute record, I'm where I need to be. Lookout for SAM SEVER, JDEE, CYPRESS HILL, FINE ARTS MILITIA, and others. Also the track I did with NELLY is a positive track ...shouldn't it be. And big props to REGENERATED HEADPIECE we finally got it done.

WELCOME TO THE TERRORDOME:THE MOVIE Last but not least CREAMwerks has put together an hour and a half long documentary film about the twenty years of PE, named WELCOME TO THE TERRORDOME. Produced and put together by WALTER LEAPHART, LATHAN HODGE and ROBERT PATTON-SPRUILL, it's laden with commentary from across all members of PE along with TOM MORELLO, HENRY ROLLINS, DMC, and the BEASTIE BOYS to name a few.

The remaining two months I choose to be reflective on the last twenty years by hopefully planning the next 5-10 years of helping the music of artists surrounding me. Yes SLAMjamz will look to do more things and BEYOND.FM will be a great digital retail outlet for many. As for keeping the push on PE, I can understand why songs like HARDER THAN YOU THINK and BLACK IS BACK didn't make black radio, but couldn't understand how certain tracks make it on nowadays. The KANYE vs 50 was totally staged to me. I like 50 Cent's position as the villain, but I cannot figure these labels current worth for the life of me. They are continuously pumping sewage at the masses. I hear little innovation, and seriously trying to figure if any of the major's songs and videos are as hot as those seen on YOU TUBE and artists on MYSPACE.

A&R has lost me in 2007. I am clueless of what they do. JAY Z has made an AMERICAN GANGSTER album and thus he was inspired to go backward into a zone that he was raised on. ??? I'm lost on that one. He can say much more. I respect his ability to bring world changing sht. What is LL doing in the face of this? Where's Russell and KEVIN LILES in a year before election, can they change a flat tire in 2007? If not how do they relate to the average American in 2008? The crumbling dollar against the rising EURO and pounding POUND will whip out Americans to eventually paying $5 by spring 2008. How long will the masses support these cats who splash money across the screen to the have nots.

MINISTER FARRAKHAN issued a riveting lecture to the hip hop community who gathered at PUFFY COMBS and LA REID's, JUSTINS RESTAURANT in ATLANTA. A day after the BET hip hop awards so that everyone invited could gather at little expense. The meeting was also paid for by ALLHIPHOP.com, which I consider the CNN of the HIP HOP community, replacing the SOURCE as the legitimate news bureau fittingly for the digital age. The ironic fact was that in 1980 the same Minister FARRAKHAN issued the black music community at the JACK THE RAPPER convention that year, warning the black folk in the industry to not get drunk on their power and be accountable and responsible.

Here he was again twenty-seven years later telling rappers and music people to respect the power we have. In fact that same speech in 1980 was put on wax, I remember PROFESSOR GRIFF bringing it downstairs in 1981 to HANK and KEITH SHOCKLEE'S mother's basement which was our SPECTRUM headquarters before 510 South Franklin. We as PE later extracted excerpts and used on the NATIONS album, especially on TERMINATOR X TO THE EDGE OF PANIC. Yes, those words sparked a musical cultural revolution. He offered advice, and amongst the hardest hit was KILLER MIKE who dropped so much knowledge of his own amidst prideful tears. The problem now in the black music business is as HANK SHOCKLEE says is that there's a gigantic gap now between those doings the work and those taking credit for it. Greed.

Now on the edge of 2008 with the tank of greed and tricks running low, how much longer are the masses gonna be them asses? The old game is getting to be played out. The winter will be long. Hopefully culture can bring human beings to their senses where governments cannot. We will see. And hear.
