Sex, Drugs & Entertainment Magazine (SDEMagazine.com) is a venture between Preston Swagger and the published author of “The Organization“, Thomas Freeman Jr.

The Organization is a fictional account of very (very) true events.

During the second World War Dominican immigrants came to Camden, New Jersey by the thousands to work as replacement workers at the city’s Campbell Soup factory. By the 1970’s Camden saw a dramatic decline in population and industry and the one time industrial center slowly turned into a drug infested war zone. The situation deteriorated to the point that the mayor of the city was eventually indicted on drug charges (helped by a then unknown State’s Attorney named Rudolph Giuliani). The Organization is a tale of how greed, power and corruption nearly turned a working class city into a 3rd world country!

SDE will be an outlet for Thomas Freeman (nicknamed T-Black) until his next novel (Preston will be a contributing author). It’s life from a “Hood” view with a side of pop-culture and politics.

For instance:

Did you know that Colin Powell was born in 1937 in Harlem, NY and raised in the South Bronx by Jamaican immigrant parents? Or that Condoleezza Rice was a Democrat until 1982 when she switched to Republican…following her father who had been denied access to register by democrats in Alabama  in 1955 — so he went to the only party that did accept him — the Republicans.

Do you know approximately how much a Kilo of Coke is currently going for in New York?

LOL…

Yeah…you can find all of this on one site…SDEMagazine.com

My homeboy Ed the Sports Fan did his guest author thing on Mr. Swagger.com and wrote a LEGENDARY post for the “Grown and Sexy”.  Since that describes this site’s readership…I had to share.

“So since Jay-Z came out with “Excuse Me Miss,” The term “Grown and Sexy” has been thrown around more than Karrine Stephens backstage at the BET awards. If you’re throwing a party, it’s for the Grown and Sexy. If you got a car that’s a sedan but not a lowrider or a Donk, it’s grown and sexy. You went and bought a shirt that’s not a XXXXXLT white tee, you guessed it, grown and sexy. Grown and Sexy has kind of turned into our generation’s “Whoomp, there it is.” Ironically enough, the most frequent overusers of this phrase seem to be 23 year olds whose parents still pay their car insurance. When I go to these grown and sexy parties, all I see are people in overdone tacky outfits who are trying to look too hard like they’re balling. So since I clearly don’t understand the accepted social definition of Grown and Sexy, I’ll provide my own list of Grown man shit:…Check It

Damn!!  You can’t take your eye off those Merchant boys for a minute!

  1. “19. If no one’s paying y’all to appear in their ads, magazines, fashion shows, etc., I will not refer to you or your homegirls as models. You’re recreational picture-takers.”

    Couldn’t possibly agree more.

  2. 20. I don’t have to lie to get ass. I’ll show you what I got and you make up your own mind. If I tell you what’s what and you’re not down, cool. Saves me the stalker experience two months from now. My tires are twenty-inch Z-rated Run-flat Goodyears. I do not know how much they cost and I do not plan to prematurely find out because I fooled you into fucking and now you’re vindictive. And handy with a boxcutter.

    –This had me laughing so hard that people in the next office poked their head out like, “what are you reading”?

    Every blogger does a list or two about this or that…this blew them all away.

    –P

  3. This list was funny as hell…and on point.

    6. If the shit says black tie, I’ll wear a black tie. Not one of them extra short, fat-knotted pink and yellow Murakami Louis Vuitton ones. Save that shit for the BET awards. This is not reflective of minority events however, because at an African American black tie event, you’re almost guaranteed never to be the worst dressed person there. I once went to a BET holiday party and I shit you not, one dude had a leather tuxedo and a rhinestone tie on.

    7. I still sag my shit, but if I lift my shirt all the way, you shouldn’t be able to see any leg-skin between my drawers and my belt loop. That’s just ridiculous.

    These two had me dying lauging! Especially the bolded parts. Everyone does have a list…or two or three on their site. I’m working on one right now. Check me later.

  4. 8. I don’t wear sunglasses on inside unless I’m high. That shit looks stupid. (Only abused women and high mofos should wear glasses inside. Otherwise, you look like Diddy, and that’s never a good thing.)

    16. My business has revenues, a tax Id, and a business plan. You ain’t the CEO of shit if all you have is a cool un-trademarked name and a website with “coming soon” plastered all over it. (Thank you!)

    17. I give money to my alma mater, savings account, and candidate that I want to win. Money talks, bullshit walks. And complaining about how bad politicians are or how they need to build some new dorms is bullshit. Do your part to make it better. (applause)

    Ok. I had to add some more. #19, I’m posting on my MySpace age. Those chicks annoy me.

  7. Yeah I remember that shit Ed. Good shit right there.

    Now, why for no one told me about the D in the SDE Magazine. LOL. I’m sayin. I don’t know the price of a kilo of coke cuz I don’t mess wit that powder. But I do know a kilo is 2.2 pounds and I can grow that in green with a kilowatt light.

    I ain’t gon say no more cuz the DEA might be payin too much attention. I’m just sayin tho. Folks talk. I walk.. in silence! I watch what I say so I don’t like havin to speak up so much. So, I’m gon “hoosh”.. you don’t know bout that. lol
