WHEN DA’ TRAIN GOES OFF DA TRACK
7 young guys on the prowl, a slutty-mad at her boyfriend low IQ honey, no it ‘s not the name of a Republican House Bill but rather a Trizzy gone Wrong. Here’s a Mugsy Bogues version- a 18yr female Hofstra student hooked up with 7 guys after a party, when she comes back; her boyfriend asked her where she was, she goes into the sad story about how she was raped yada-yada-yada!!. She goes to the Cops and says the 7 guys raped her, luckily they taped the willing participant on there phone and were cleared of all charges; Full Story-->NYTIMES. I’m kind of torn on stories like this. On one hand I think the girl needs some serious help, it’s one thing to be a slut but it’s another to potentially get innocent people locked up. Fellas Fellas- we have to be extra careful. This is such a connivance excuse for sluts now-a-days. In this case the accuser is black 
but that doesn’t hide the fact, that cause of her sluttiness(sp) 7 guys lives have been ruined and some have even been cast with a proverbial Scarlet Letter. I don’t mean to bang on the girl (pun intended) but this has to stop!! DO you know what this skeezer got for her punishment----jail, boot camp--Naw!!, she got Counseling…….Yes, Counseling….Ugghhhhhh. I can presume this is how one of the counseling session goes:
Counselor--->So what made you do it?
Girl--->Um I don't know….I was bored and you know mad about my B/F
Counselor--->Yes but those are good reason to accuse innocent guys on Rape charges you know
Girl--->Yeah but nobody is in jail…so…by the way are all those degrees and plaques urs
Counselor-->Yes, I actually went to Hofstra, I actually used to skip class in that same staircase you and those guys…you know “hung-out”
Girl---> Laughing, we’ll we didn’t “Hang-Out”…we’ll sort off…He! He! He!
Counselor--->(getting restless in his seat and loosening his tie) We’ll what did you do……
Girl--->Ummmmmmmmm---followed by &^())!!! and the tie being hung outside on the door handle.
Best Month in Hiphop
Happy Days….Happy Days are here again…. Not since the glory days of skipping school to go up to the Columbia Mall to cop the latest cd’s has there been a week like this. Hova da God dropped the much anticipated BluePrint 3. While it’s a very good album with about 5 standout tracks, the crown jewel of the week was Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2(OB4CL2). Usually sequels are much lamer then the predecessor; T2 and Aliens {both by James Cameron, are the rare exception}-(WORST SEQUELS-Matrix 2 anybody,Teen Wolf Too (they couldn’t even spell it right, that’s how bad it was).
Most will try to compare Linx 2 to the Linx 1, but that so unfair. The 1st one was something so raw, so fresh so innovative...In fact in my trusted views, It's the Gr8est Hip-Hop Album Ever.
Peep this awesome review from Linx 1 from XXl------> CUBAN LINK REVIEW. Moving forward ,the standout tracks on OB4CL2 are mindboggling. House of Flying Daggers is a punch you in the face with a Tyson like sting, classix Wu via the late J-Dilla; peep the video-
My two fave tracks on the album are Cold Outside and Gihad. These are the most blatant display of Ghost and Rae rawness. They have such an synergy when they hop on the same track, raw and unapologetic. Cold<-CLICK) is so damn soulful, it sounds like they flip a Anthony Hamilton sample and just kill it. Now Gihad<-CLICK) is the crown jewel, Perfection. Ghost is in rare from, he shows why he one of the most vivid mc’s ever. He tells a story of twisting up shorty when her man comes home and Ghost manages to convince the other guy to “Go to the Store or ill blow your Balls off.!!”-maybe my 2nd favorite Ghost on a Date gone wrong song(peep---> WILDFLOWER<- CLICK). Although Nas didn’t make it on the new joint, the outside Wu babies of Beanie Sigel-Have Mercy, Kiss & Jada-Broken Safety more then make-up for it. I guess i could go on and on, I could talk about having legendary producers--RZA, Dr Dre and J-Dilla, I could go about Legendary Mc’s like Ghost, Mef, Busta Rhymes or the younger guns Beans, Kiss or Styles P. I could talk about how energize my good buddies are after hearing the album…there was even talk about getting some 40’s and Greek Village (Get Sum) for old time sake. I could but there’s no need…this is the purest, rawest well put together album since The Blueprint…This is how you make a Sequel. After 15 yrs…Chef cooked up another Classix SIDENOTE: One of the elements that made the Wu so different was there Slang and Ad-libs. Who could forget “The Blue & Cream” skit
Ohh what a Season
On the precipitous of the 2009-2010 NBA season, my dear and defending Lakers are knee deep in a Distraction Quagmire., so much that I created a new Blog just to document the season. Please Visit http://www.lakesback2back.blogspot.com
After winning the chip, here’s a list of some off season events:
- Phil Jack finally commits to coming back after 10 championship. What a life, he coaches the world champs, messes with the owners daughter who also posed for playboy…..
- In a one on one swap, we get Ronny Artest for our 24 y/o lanky uber athletic Trevor Ariza. On paper it’s a slam dunk, Artest is the former DPOY who is lock down and can drop 20 with ease…Now off the court; Anybody who follows TruWarrier96 on Twitter knows Ron isn’t like any other NBA player. Lakers fans will say Phil has dealt with Rodman but Rodman was an act…Artest is really a nut. We could easily do a whole feature on Ronny but there more to digest.
- Ohhhh Lamar Odom, the most frustrating player in the NBA. With his physical tools he should be a perennial 20 and 10 guy instead he’s got Phil Jackson looking like Gandalf from Lord of the Rings-
. Now this, he’s getting married to Khloe Kardashian after a few months of dating. Now from a distance it’s not that bad, there both pretty well off and nice looking people but she’s also dated at least 4 other basketball players this year.
Did we also mention Ronny and Odom both got new deals for a combined 80mill. Did we also mention they know each other for years growing up in Queens NY.
So let me get this str8 you put 2 NYC cats in LA, with a a boat load of distractions', busty bombshells', & awesome Weed.
As far the court goes, the Lakes look stronger then ever. Flat out Artest is an upgrade over Ariza, Gasol looked strong in winning the Euro Mvp and Championship, Bynum just picked up 2 fouls before this blog was even posted {I joke I kid} but he should be ready to put it all together, Fish is Fish, would love to cut his minutes down and save them for the off’s and Bean is only the Best Player in the World.
The West will be tough and as always the target will be on out back…but when the smoke clears…..BACK 2 BACK is in the forecast!!!!
WHO KNEW LEGOS COULD BE SO DOPE!!!
Funny Stories from the Edit Room
This is a detailed account of one of my fave music director Brett Ratner. Ratner has directed Rush Hour and X2 but before that he got his start in Music Videos. Here’s the full article link with Videos-->Ratner. Love the 1st person accounts, love the videos…Enjoy.
Redman “Tonight’s Da Night” (1993)
DIRECTOR’S COMMENTARY: “Redman wanted to shoot it in Jersey where he lived, in the worst area—it used to be a Jewish neighborhood, and his house was across the street from a Jewish cemetery. So, I show up and park outside his house at 5 o’clock in the morning. He was sleeping, and I wouldn’t knock on his door because I was scared! So I went around the neighborhood and shot all these faces in black and white, for four hours. He finally woke up at 11 [laughs]. We go down to this one abandoned house in the neighborhood where everyone sits on the stoop. I remember the part where he goes, ‘Would the packed pistol posse put their fingers on the triggers?‘ The packed pistol posse, who was his crew, pulled out their pistols and pointed at the camera—my DP said, ‘That’s it, I’m leaving!’ I said, ‘What do you mean? No one got shot! C’mon!’”
“The best part of the Redman story is, three o’clock in the morning, he says, ‘I want a white bitch to roll up and buy some drugs for me.’ This is when you could just do hardcore videos, and I’m like ‘You wanna portray yourself as dealing drugs?’ ‘Yeah, man, that’s real, man!’ The only problem is, we ain’t gonna find a white bitch in the middle of the night in the street. There was no women on my crew, so Redman goes, ‘What about that white bitch?’ And I said, ‘That’s my mom!’ He goes, ‘Well use that hoe! Put that hoe in the video’ So, my mom is in the Redman video, at the end of the video, when the car pulls up, buying drugs from Redman.”
Wu-Tang Clan “Triumph” (1997)
DIRECTOR’S COMMENTARY: “It was the first million dollar rap video. When Steve Rifkind asked me, I said, ‘Are you sure about this record? There’s no chorus!’ He says “Trust me, its gonna be the biggest record of the year. Only Wu-Tang could pull this off.’ So, I set up the video—Joseph Kahn was my cinematographer. I hear that they want eleven Suburbans—they each want their own. They each also want $50,000 worth of gear, and they told me all their designers. So first day, these guys are walking in one at a time, and each guy walks into the dressing room, and walks out with plastic bags filled with all the clothes. I called Steve like, ‘They’re stealing all the clothes!’ He’s like, ‘Don’t worry, let them have it.’”“It’s a five day shoot, and it’s crazy. The greatest fuckin’ experience, they’re eating mushrooms the whole time. Ol’ Dirty never shows up. I was like, Oh my god, this is fucking insane! The most fun I ever had. After shooting ends, they all leave to go on tour in Europe, but Ghost never would travel, because he had diabetes. So he checks into a hotel, and they said, ‘Yo Ghost, you watch Brett, and watch over that edit, man. White devil could fuck it up!” So, we’re in the edit room, and we call the group on speakerphone. And it’s the funniest thing, this is embedded in my memory. They’re all on the phone like, ‘White muthafuckin’ devil, man, tryin’ to rob us motherfucker!’ And Ghost is looking at me while on speakerphone, just winking at me like, I love you man! [laughs].”
“So three days into the edit, I get a call that Ghost had had been kicked out of like eleven hotels, and I’m like, ‘Why were you kicked out?’ He’s like, ‘I don’t know man, I got fucked up, and I just start breaking shit. Can you come get me? I got no place to stay.’ So I let him stay at my house. Suddenly my phone rings, and it’s Steve Rifkind, ‘Whats going on?’ I go, ‘Nothing, I’m just bringing Ghost over my house ’cause he got kicked out of the hotel.’ Then there’s silence on the other end of the phone. I say, ‘Whats wrong?’ He goes, ‘I gotta call you back.’ Five days later, he calls me up and goes, ‘Are you okay? Oh my God, you scared the shit outta me, man. How can you let this guy stay at your house? I don’t even let these guys know where I live!’ So a month goes by, and I would edit all day, and Ghost would just chill at my house until we finished. A month later, I’m with my girlfriend in the backyard, and the cat starts going fucking crazy and starts digging into the dirt. We dig up a bucket of fried chicken. Ghost buried a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken in the backyard. How fuckin’ freaky is that?”
Notes and Ish’
- Gotta Love Playoff Baseball--Was at a bar learning how to play pool, when the Phillies came up to bat down by one with two outs. Ryan Howard comes up to bat with 2 on, 2-1 counts and then BAM….2 run double high off the fence…Phills Win. I know baseball is not the cool sport but nuffin’ can compete with October Baseball.
- College Basketball Kicks off this weekend…….Get Sum
- Word on the street is this divorce is going to get messy…..Dodgers owner and wife Frank and Jamie McCourt are getting divorce. That’s not really news but the twist is she could leverage the settlement and take the team from him. This could might as well end like Major League when the team would symbolize each late season run with ripping off the clothes of a cardboard cut-out of the owner…..and she doest look that bad, I’d watch-
(Bet you she wont be sitting on his lap like that again…lol) Should be interesting btw there combined worth is 1.29 bill, This will get Funkier…Trust -->Dodger Divorce - The funniest Redskin Clip….Ever--Redskin Video
