Is this what narcs look like nowadays? They can’t wear jean jackets with Zoso on the back, so now you have old dudes with “rare trainers,” “counterculture” blazers, high-end denim, articulated knees, and Offspring dreads coming up to you and asking if there’s any place around here to “score some ’erb.”

There are entire subcultures that are born and die without us knowing they ever existed. Like, who knew Japan had this whole Panda Punk thing going on? Oh, and what the fuck are Panda Punks anyhow? Comments/Enlarge | See all

This guy is like when you just moved to a new town and you did some weird remix of Eric B and Rakim that everyone loves and just as it comes on and everyone cheers, he points to you all carpe diem and you think to yourself, “I am at the pussy zenith of my life right now.”

Everybody knows that potheads are paranoid, but recently a group of Swedish scientists proved that regular consumption of cannabis can increase your risk of developing schizophrenia by 30 percent.

They say it’s the way the THC affects your dopamine levels that makes your brain get paranoid, hear voices and start to develop weird theories about “who’s running the show and pulling the strings”.

We mention this, because when we went to visit Rastafarian reggae singer Ghetto Priest at his Enfield manor last month we found him riding around the streets on a little girl’s bicycle (pictured), waving his “Ghetto stick” and playing with his magic “Ghetto rock”.

Obviously, we’re not saying by any means that dude is suffering from any kind of weird mental stuff, but what the fuck is he talking about?

VICE: Hi!

Ghetto Priest: Ever seen They Live?

The John Carpenter movie?

That’s where I’m coming from. I don’t believe everybody that I see is human. I think some of them are just wearing...

Human costumes?

Yes! This is my own personal thought. Why shouldn’t I tell the truth I feel?

Go ahead…

I was brought up to know I’m a West Indian. That was a lie. So that’s another deception... I was brought up to say I’m a Black Man and you will do this and that’s it. A lot of shit that’s been pumped into my brain since I came out of my mother’s womb was all deception, to keep me in my corner. They got all people put in their prisons. You stay here. You’re Russian, you’re English, you’re this, that. Who’s doing this? And who benefits from it? A lot of people are in denial.”

Right. I have to go now.

Why?

I have to go and take my little sister to watch a Ms Dynamite concert.

Oh, great! Has she had her baby yet? You have to give her a message for me!

I can try.

Seriously, you have to give this to her. If you don’t, I’ll track you down and put a curse on you. You know I have the Quantum Leap on my side.

INFIDEL & MEDINA
Ghetto Priest’s new record is called Vulture Culture and it’s out now through On U Sound. Pictured above is Ghetto King’s note to Ms Dynamite. We’re going to send her a copy so we don’t get cursed by his “Quantum Leap” thingybobwhateveritis…
