  • What it do gangstas? This week we gettin hedonistic with The Picture of Dorian

  • Gray by Oscar Wilde. Up in nineteenth century London, an

  • artist named Basil just finished his masterpiece- a portrait of some fine-lookin stud named

  • Dorian Gray. His boy Lord Henry be all likeDamn! That boy is fine!”

  • When Dorian rolls in to peep game at his painting, Lord Henry start

  • preachin to Dorian bout how a pretty boy like him ain’t gonna stay pretty forever. So

  • he gotta drop bein all virtuous and chase dem pleasures of the flesh while he still

  • got it. Dorian seems like he dig, so he takes his portrait home and start chillin with Lord

  • Henry on the reg. A month later Dorian tells Lord H

  • that he got himself a new dame- some actress named Sybil. And like THAT, Dorian wanna put

  • a ring on it. S’all good til one night Dorian

  • takes his boys to see Sybil shake it on stage. But she be straight trippin. Sybil so bad

  • that Dorian be all likethe fu** girl?” Sybil say she so in love with his fine self

  • that she don’t care bout acting anymore. But Dorian ain’t dealin with no has-beens

  • and dumps her ass right then and there. Dorian comes home and notices that

  • his portrait changed somehow and now it got a nasty sneer all up on his mug. When word

  • comes that Sybil dun iced herself, Dorian decide he don’t give a fu** no mo and gonna

  • lock that portrait upstairs and devote himself to lusty livin.

  • Years pass and word on the street is that even though Dorian still young and

  • fine, he been up to some scandalous sh**. One day he runs in to Basil who say that a

  • lotta hoods be talkin mess bout his rep. Basil sayis it for real?”

  • Then Dorian take Basil back to his crib where lets the painting do the talking.

  • And dat thing ALL jacked up now. Dorian gets so riled up at the thought of his ruined image

  • that he grabs a knife and shanks Basil! That fool dead.

  • Later, Dorian hits up Lord Henry and tell him that he done with all that hedonistic

  • garb and wanna be good again. But Lord Henry just think he playin and don’t pay him no

  • mind. Then Dorian goes up to the portrait

  • to see if it’s changed now that he wanna be righteous, but that ugly ass mug is nastier

  • than ever. After hearing a big ass thump, Dorian’s

  • servants run upstairs where they see a wrinkly-ass corpse, and a

  • portrait of young Dorian look all fine. Ain’t that a bitch?

  • Now back before this story dropped

  • in 1890s, Wilde was beefin with his tight-ass publishers who weren’t diggin all the steamy

  • bro-on-bro action. It wasn’t until 2011 that the uncensored typescript hit the streets.

  • But why these haters gotta hate? Cuz on the real, most homies say Wilde JUST layin down

  • a morality tale.

  • See, Dorian’s mind always warring between two philosophies: of either livin

  • the moral life or sayinman fu** dat messand chase all dem human temptations.

  • Since Basil’s always gettin his tighties all bunched up over Dorian’s purity,

  • he reppin the moral side.

  • Whereas Harry’s dirty self reppin the wild side of humanity that only care about

  • intensity of feeling. To Harry, Dorian ain’t nothin more than a choice piece of meat.

  • As Dorian keep sinkin in to Henry’s whack ass hedonism, the portrait gets fuglier

  • and fuglier, like it’s his soul telling him he dun fu**ed up and chose the wrong path.

  • That’s one of the reasons his hiding spot bothers him so much.

  • Sparky reads quote: “Every moment of his lonely childhood came back to him, as he looked

  • round. He remembered the stainless purity of his boyish life, and it seemed horrible

  • to him that it was here that the fatal portrait was to be hidden away.”

  • But what Dorian don’t see is that nothing simple as good and evil. It ain’t

  • just his vices that he trying to hide from the world- it’s also a part of himself.

  • Like Wilde himself said: “All excess, as well as all renunciation, brings

  • its own punishment.” Truth is, if you tryin to say that

  • life is ALL ABOUT purity or sin or the body and the soul, then you straight trippin. Cuz

  • what’s really fu**in up Dorian’s game is that he thinks he gotta chose one or the

  • other. Fool needs to realize that a real playa embraces all those things.

  • Like Dorian sayEach of us has Heaven and Hell in him.”

  • Hey thanks for checkin me out. Make sure you embrace your inner thug and subscribe.

  • Peace.
