..........Peace to the Babies..........: 80's

Due to the recession, Kinky Notti's taking the lead from all these big-time corporations & we've decided to rearrange, restructure & reshape our group. By summertime prepare to be introduced to a NEW & improved Kinky Notti... one with familiar flavor but a new identity. The thing is: we're still trying to decide what our new identity should be. Here are some ideas we came up with in a recent brainstorm... ideas sofa king crazy they just might work!

Option 1= The Fergie

Getting a new kick-ass lead singer with a hot bod & edge. Just picture us on some 80's pop, out-of-this-world type-shit...

Can't you imagine a Kink Not album cover just like this,
except with ChivRock & HavMax in the back
sitting on the other planets wearing metallic jackets?... HOT!

Option 2 = The Mean Mug

We've realized that with lyrics like "don't make me f*ck yo ass up" we probably need to start "looking the part" more often like our boy Sticky Fingaz from Onyx. To pull off this option, we'd have to start mean-muggin at our shows & photo shoots just to show muffoccurs that Kink Not goes super hardcore.

Option 3 = The Gyrlz

We're thinkin bout getting The Gyrlz to make this option work... hence our current search for basically a new singing-version of Salt-N-Pepa. We thought it'd be fresh to add background singers to the mix so that HavMax & ChivRock can finally grab those red spandex cat-suits out of lay-a-way and rock the f*ck out.

Option 4 = The Dudes

Remember how hard Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam went back in the day? With this plan, adding two soft-singing males to the mix may really take Kinky Notti's sound to a whole new level. HavMax can also learn some hot moves and take full command of the stage & camera.

Just imagine this as the new Kinky Notti album cover
with Tshurhad Chivas plus one of these-lookin dudes behind HavMax... HOT!

Option 5 = The Boy Band

Since the 90's sound is back, maybe we should go the boy band direction. We think Tshurhad Chivas can lead a futuristic Color Me Badd... just imagine: a bunch of hot guys busting out their dance routines in gem-colored suits while the girls assume roles as band members... HOT!

Option 6 = The Crazy Band

Kinky Notti has been rockin on stage to midi tracks for way too long... it's time to super-size our shows & add a crazy-wild band... we're talking full-on stage parties! We know it's impossible to imagine Kinky Notti + a band, but trust it's gonna be HOT!

Option 7 = The Street Show

Street artists are on the come-up these days... and besides, street cred has always been like bonafide currency in the music industry. What better way for Kink Not to gain exposure than to set up stage right on the mag mile & rock the f*ck out?

Goodie Mob is bout that paper

Option 8 = The Baby-Music-Lover

Babies always win in our book... now imagine one who's crazy about music. This option is the least feasible b/c it would have to be an adoption mission... the bottom line: WE AINT HAVING NO MORE!!

*****PEACE TO THE BABIES*****

You know how you put your name in a google search to see what randomly pops up? Well, sometimes googling sends you a pleasant surprise. We found designjesse, some cool photographer's flickr page ((we have no idea who, but you rock designjesse)). There were photos of Kinky Notti from our show at the CRB Loft, but the dope thing about it was how we were classified in the set called "musical people" along with other banging artists like Nas & even Klaxons.

Speaking of Klaxons, we're a big fan of this video: Gravity's Rainbow. The whole psychedelic 80's, f*cked-up-on-purpose graphics, with the clever transitions thru television screens just kinda worked for us.

Another thing we're really into is worldwide street art... & apparently, so is designjesse. We loved these shots from Paris and NY that somehow, inadvertently put both cities up for comparison. And from here, Paris really seems smarter with their illustration, design-influenced graffiti, but hey.

Oui Oui Paris
