75 mpg Baby!
Anyone in the vicinity of the Alpert JCC in Long Beach last week may have witnessed somewhat of a bizarre sight – a grammy nominated, Hassidic hip hop/reggae artist puttering around the parking lot in a totally sweet Vespa scooter. The Vespa LXV 150 to be exact. It’s a sweet machine, with long standing hipster cred, a highway safe maximum speed of 59 miles per hour and, in keeping with the Greenkeit element of our Festival, capable of 70-75 miles per gallon. Wow. And did I mention that it was hellaciously fun to ride too? Yeah… sometimes running the Jewlicious Festival can be loads of fun! How much fun? Well, Matisyahu owns a Harley and he was still all giggly riding the Vespa. Thank you good people at Vespa for lending us your awesome scooters! As for the rest of the Festival?

It’s bad enough he pretends to do the reggae and hip hop thing and people applaud him for it. If he starts does the ska or mod thing I’m leavin’.

He looks great, how about plastering this all over the internet:

I think this story should be the main story on every single Jewish website for the next few days, even if just for the headline. It should be shared and dissected to the minimum details. Sorry, I couldn’t believe it was not up anyhwere here.

Jacob–
Pretends to do hip hop and reggae? Pretty sure thats what he does. You might not like his style but what makes hip hop and reggae? I hope music isnt divided by color class and religion.
