CULTURE
5th Annual H20 [Hip-Hop Odyssey] International Film Festival
ImaginAsian Theatre
239 E 59th St
212-371-6682
Through June 17
No. The 5th Annual Hip-Hop Odyssey International Film Festival is not just another reason for Al Sharpton to speak. It’s just another reason for filmmakers to speak. The theme is “The World Is Yours” and discussions emphasize the 90s, when demands of power, money and respect hit the airwaves.
CLUB
Whitehouse at the Hamptons Hosted by Flavor Flav
Whitehouse Nightclub
Sat 10pm
239 East Montauk Highway
Hampton Bays, NY 11946
So the purist of the purists claim that the parties in the Hamptons don’t really start until the weekend after Memorial Day, once the trolls and the dregs have slouched back to the city. Sure, it’s a stretch to wedge “purist” and “Flavor Flav” in the same sentence, but a celebrity host is a celebrity host.
FUN
3rd Annual Tour de Brooklyn
Grand Army Plaza
Intersection of Flatbush Ave, Eastern Parkway and Prospect Park West.
Sun - Check in @ 8am
The point is to ride your bike through Brooklyn, but the joy will be laughing at all those losers stuck in traffic because of you. And you’ll see plenty of losers as you make your way through neighborhoods like Sunset Park, Bay Ridge, and Kensington.
MUSIC
Hot 97 – Hip-Hop Summer Jam
Giants Stadium
Sun 6:30pm
East Rutherford, New Jersey
$110+
You can’t miss them. If you’ve taken the subway in the last three months, you’ve seen those curiously-over-zoomed-in shots of Angie Martinez, touting that Hot 97 is “Where Hip-Hop Lives.” This weekend, they prove it. You. 50,000 fans. And artists like Ludacris, Diddy, Ciara, and a dry-humping Akon.
DAY AFTER
Hawaiian Picnic and Potluck
Central Park
Sun 12-5pm
Summit Rock at 85th St and CPW
Ho cuz, come by Central Park fo’ some ono grindz (delicious food) and good times. No foget to bring one dish fo’ share, good tunes fo’ hula and some jokes fo’ talk story. Kay den. You beddah show up befo’ I broke yo mout (Be there or be square).
