There Is No Justice!

Psych.

I believe in karma. OJ is going to jail.

This dude flaunted his previous acquittal...but sooner or later it was gonna catch up to him. He may now, ironically, spend the rest of his life in jail over trying to regain mementos to his sports triumphs. (he's a black man after all and 61, so he ain't got a ton of years left.)

Cruel world.


"I'm at the top of my game and can't POSSIBLY be stopped."

Ha!

BY THE WAY - if you actually read the AP article to which I've linked, Simpson is CLEARLY innocent as hell...

But then again, so was Nicole Brown.

Future Shock

Creating comedy is a lot like creating music.

From Pete Rock to Kanye, a lot of my favorite hip hop producers put a new spin on something obscure from the past. In other words, nothing is ever completely irrelevant and nothing is ever totally new.

With that in mind, the below clip is a comedic filmmaker's version of "digging in the crates."

Future Shock (Orson Welles Intro)
by donaldtheduckie

When I grow up, I'm gonna be just like Orson Welles. Moving through the airport, smoking a cigar and spitting out facts to y'all!

But seriously, if you get a chance, watch the FUTURE SHOCK documentary. Someone was kind enough to post the whole thing on YouTube.

Sorry, Barry!

So...I'm pretty sure I just cost Barack a vote.

I was at my bank (WAMU aka "Failzone") and as you know on Fridays, bank parking lots are like thunderdome as people rush in and out.

I was waiting for this older white woman to come out of a space and she was arguing with the parking attendant. NOW... since I always side with whoever is making the least amount of money, I started chatting him up about how she was out of line...thinking she was out of earshot.

She heard it.

She shot me a look that cut deep into my soul. And all I could think was:

"Shit... I just cost Barack a vote."

on another note, I laughed at this despite myself.



Have you done anything to cost Barack a vote or two?

(I think I'm okay since I live in LA...thank GOD I don't live in Denver or Santa Fe.)

Friday Afternoon Banger

My question is, why are songs like this NOT being played in the clubs (I've given up on radio).



A lot like Freeway's "What We Do" but this track is hot. And that breakdown at 1:14 - - - oooweeee.

UPDATE: Let me go ahead and post this track too - from the Dipset camp.

Palin Lost The Debate

People...

Kill that noise about Biden not putting her away.

Palin's goal was to CONVINCE undecided voters that she's ready to be President.

What she did was convince ultra-conservatives that she's not functionally retarded.

She lost.

Flashback Friday

If you didn't read it already, VH-1 has come out with its Top 100 hip-hop songs of all time. The usual suspects are there, your "Ain't Nothin' But A 'G' Thang"s and "Rapper's Delight"s, but I, being the snob that I am about these things, think the list is missing some great tracks. Please feel free to debate the list's validity in the "Comments" section.

I have to put my two cents in on one of the tracks I wish was in their edict.

I remember getting a bootleg copy of this album and playing it constantly. Too bad there wasn't a proper release for it until almost 8 years later. By the time this happened, INI had more or less debanded. I already had Rob-O's solo project and Grap Luva (Pete Rock's younger bro) had moved from NYC to DC (I see him at different events. I want to say he's a teacher now). There was a lot of unfulfilled potential.

But at least "Fakin' Jax" had a video I can always play on a continuous loop.

Caption This...

And let us know what you thought about tonight's debate. Be respectful.
