“Know you got a roommate
Call me when its no one there
Put the key under the mat
And you know I’ll be over there
(Yup) I’ll be over there
Shawty, I’ll be over there
I’ll be hitting all the spots that u ain’t even know was there”
Not the best rhyme scheme, but gets the job done I guess.
“Sex, Love, Pain
Baby I be on that tank shit
Buzz so big i could probably sell a blank disk
When my album drop
Bitches will buy it for the picture
And n$ggas will buy it too and claim they got it for they sister
Magazine paper girl
But money ain’t the issue
They bring dinner to my room and ask me to initial
She call me the referee
Cause I be so official
My shirt ain’t got no stripes but I can make yo pussy whistle
Like the Andy Griffith theme song
And who told you to put them jeans on
double cup love
You the one i lean on
Feeling for a fix then you should really get yo pheen on
Yea just know my condo is the crack spot
Every single show she out there repping like a mascot
Get it from the back
And make yo fucking bra strap pop
All up in yo slot until the n$gga hit the jackpots”
The Rest is Up to You…

Cool “Disco” Dan Washington D.C. Legend, Interview
Cool “Disco” Dan Washington D.C. Legend, Interview that I donated to the While You Were Sleeping bedtime Stories video. I shot this interview in 1996 or 1997 down on F Street where Dan sat and sold Go Go tapes. If you don’t know what go go is, he describes it in the video as “urban tribal music”. Dan himself is a D.C. urban legend. Everyone here knows of him, the washington post wrote articles on him and the djs on the radio used to make “your mom has been around the blcok so many times” jokes that used cool “disco” dan as their punchline. I shot this in super 8 film whichmakes it even cooler.
The eighties were a peculiar time in the history of the nation’s capital. Even before Mayor Marion Barry was caught on camera smoking crack, D.C. had acquired a nasty reputation as the most dysfunctional city in America. “The United States’ political headquarters is fast becoming the murder capital of the U.S., with more than one killing per day,” London’s Daily Telegraph told readers in 1989, “It is infested with drugs the streets are patrolled by an army of beggars the city is corrupt, inefficient and extremely dangerous.”
The D.C. of newspapers, however, was not always a version that residents recognized. In their new film, urban culture expert Roger Gastman and music video director Joseph Pattisall take on the loaded questions of how bad the nation’s capital really was and why. Blending exclusive interviews and archival footage, these Washington natives aim to offer the most comprehensive portrait to date on this critical decade. The development of Go-Go, D.C.’s distinctive style of urban music, racial tensions, sensationalist media, crack and corruption, will all be important pieces of this story.
