Alright folks, have I got a treat for you people or what today....
this week's edition of So, Who Would Win? features two iconic super-bad cops that were the "champions" of the Blaxploitation era of the 70's.
I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft....and Superfly.
No, not this "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka.
I'm talking about this Superfly:
Can you dig it?
That's right folks, I'm pitting two of the most iconic cinematic black heroes from the 70's against each other in a duel orchestrated by the man, to see who's the better man; NY Detective John Shaft or major coke-dealer looking to get out of the game, Youngblood Priest.
In one corner, you have Shaft. One bad-ass mother-shut your mouth! but I'm just talkin' 'bout Shaft....and the fucking iconic soundtrack by music industry legend (and the voice of Chef from South Park)Issac Hayes.
In the other, is Priest, take-no-shit coke dealer on the rise who later decides to get out of the game, but on his own terms. His soundtrack was handled by another industry legend, Curtis Mayfield.
So as many of you are all aware, all this month is Black History Month.
So I figured, what the hell, let's be topical for a change, and maybe do a skit based of that theme.
Will it work, and does it work?
I'll let you guys be the judge.
Enjoy;)
The End
After finishing this up, and I just realized I didn't include Black Manta.
Yeah, he's probably gonna' be reaaaaaal pissed at me for that one:(
Extra:
And really, who hasn't wanted to see a fight between these two.
If only there was weekly feature that did just that......
Oh shit, It's Monday. Noooooooo!
Ha ha, it'll be alright guys. It'll be Friday again in no time.
So I had a pretty damn good weekend myself.
Yep, my local comic store owner Barry and some employees and I all went to an out of town toy convention, and damn was there a lot of stuff!
Brah, I'm telling you that place was stacked to the brim with all the toys from my childhood.
I'm talking about vintage He-Man, GI Joes, TNMT's, Star Wars and Transformers. Not to mention all the other names and brands in-between.
Priceless vehicles and old gaming consoles too! It was a time-warp experience for sure.
But it gets better. Barry proceeds to tell me(before the con starts) that he just bought a big box full of DCUC signature figures from this dealer.
I'm like "Go on......"
Turns out he bought 'em for 20$ a piece. Yes, 20$ a piece.
Anyone in the know, knows they usually cost around 40$, so yeah, he got 'em for a song and steal.
Well after some quick wheeling and dealing, this is what I got for 55$:
Yep, the Red Hood, Ocean Master, and Monsieur Mallah and the Brain!!!!!
Oh the fun we're gonna' have these latest additions!
Plus being the super generous guy he is, he even tossed a free action figure for helping him out:
The new Marvel NOW Captain America figure.
As Googum would say(but hasn't in awhile for some strange reason)BOY HOWDY!!!!
You'll see all of these guys relatively soon. In fact I already have a Brain and Mallah skit written out. All I need to do is take pics, so that'll be one of next week's skits.
Okay, onto today's fun-filled skit with a very familiar title I should think to those who loved the TNMT movies back in the early 90's.
Yeah that. Of course that song's back in our collective consciousness because of this recent commercial:
Yeah, that really happened.
So with that in mind, here's the probably the weirdest and most kinda' loosely American Black History Month skit evah!
Take it away boys.......
The End.
We've all been there at one point or another I'm sure.
