Old Topic about a Black order similar to the masons?

[Keith Blackstone]

Does anybody remember that topic discussed last year or so on here, about a secret Black society? Something about needing to be lighter then a brown paper bag, etc etc?

Was just having a discussion on illuminati, masons, skull&bones, etc.. and couldn't remember the one talked about last year...

Ring a bell anyone?

[Keith Blackstone]

savoy did a general article on the boule last year

Boule, I'd imagine.

But, again, the brothas cant manage their own books or maintain an accurate budget.

Assimulation minded and money oriented, solely!

Ring a bell anyone? I don't remember that topic but i know that back in the day they checked your hand at the door and if you was darker than a brown paper bag you couldn't get in, dubois wasn't playing when he was talking about the color line.

You'd be surprised to find out how many black leaders and politicians were in this orginazation.

I had a very good article from a Frontlines mag about them a few years ago.Very in-depth.

That was a very good article about the Boule in Savoy.

Mark you heard about Savoy goin out of business....along with Honey and Heart and Soul. Black mags are becoming less and less --especially those with half-way serious content.

Late

1. Shelter - they have the sound system and the space, they charge $20, and Timmy has too much power to make or break a new record in NYC at this point because no-one is challenging this Saturday night oldies romp. The label is (not so surprisingly) suspect. Some really weird shit comes out on there from time to time. Forget skills, you just to be cool with them (black) to release stuff on Shelter.

2. MAW - Far commercial reach. They reach Europeans like no one else in the deep house induzzzztry does. They tease the underlings with promos to keep them from rebelling. Classic tactic used by corrupt governments as seen throughout history. I even received a promo package from them recently and big upped their 7" Box Set on the message boards. I am disgusted with myself. Forget skills, you just to be cool with them (Spanish) to release stuff on MAW.

3. Wave - Pure prestige. At one time if you were cool with Wave, you had some juice at Body & Soul. Since B&S died, they were in a sort of limbo as far as nightlife, but now that Deep Space has started, I've been saying what's up to Matty in clubs again. Francois also has some weird reputation as being a genius, although he apparently lost his mind years ago and started naming his music generic titles like "deep & sexy" in watered down white boy deep house compilations. Forget skills, you just to be cool with them (white) to release stuff on Wave.

4. West End - Not almighty powerful anymore, but a pioneering disco force in the late 70's to mid 80's. Mel Cheren is often cited as the owner of the Garage, which isn't true. It was a big power move when this family drafted Kevin "Blaze" Hedge from the Shelter family, bringing the West End family back up to number 4 on the list. All families felt a little unrest when this happened. Although Kevin is in charge of West End, they still manage to have some suspect releases. Forget skills, you just have to be cool with them (gay) to release stuff on West End.

5. Spiritual Life / Ibadan Families - Although different labels, both families are close knit and are headed by Spiritual leader Joe Claussel. Joe made a lot of noise in the community after he refused to return to B&S. Rumors flew, but those in the know kept their mouths shut, not because of turf wars that may have ensued, but because of a strange curse that may be put upon them if they dared think the truth out loud. A peaceful tribe at best, however not to be fucked with. Their true powers lie in the spirit world. Forget skills, you just have to be cool with them (some sort of Indian) to release stuff on these labels.

6. Q-Tip - Although Q-Tip has zero ties to the deep house scene, he keeps checking in and has already started the necessary groundwork involved to ride the wave to the top if house ever accidentally blows up. His powers stem from his celebrity and status in the hip-hop scene, and the fact that all the poorhouse heads know he has money. They are dangerously quick to accept him and his crew in hopes to ride the wave on his coat tails if the shit really does hit the fan. You have to be cool with him (already have some kind of juice to get him somewhere), to get somewhere with him.

*7. THE GRAND KUOIAN ARMY - They are the most surreptitious and most feared of the 7 families. Ignoring everything that is holy and revered by the other 6 families, they are known to routinely defecate historical house and disco artifacts. This bunch of rowdy miscreants despise such stalwarts of traditional family prestige such as industry recognition, financial/commercial gain, social political correctness, and actual contributions to this thing we call house. All we know for sure is that they have several highly effective, agile operative cells in cities ranging from New York, DC, Chicago, London, San Diego, Los Angelos, Montreal, and Toronto to name a few. It isn't certain how one becomes a member of the GKA, but it is commonly believed that being cool with them (Asian) helps.
