ML’s Something to View 4.06.07

Damn! I haven’t done this stuff in such a long time you’d probably would have thought by now there wasn’t anything hot to view. Well if that was true, your hallucinations are brutal! To whip this series back into shape today I watched Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story. This is a mockumentary; think something ala The Office but instead of an office playing the setting it’s paintball battlefields and the very sophisticated places paintball players hangout. The story is about Bobby Dukes (played by Rob Corddry) who rose up to be a legend in paintball, attempting to make a comeback into the paintball world after being gone on a 10 year hiatus after being caught cheating. All of the characters in this are quirky oddballs that have their unique ways of making you laugh. It’s always good when you can even laugh at the villain. Anyway if you like The Office, Best Week Ever, or The Daily Show, you will really enjoy the movie.

Here is the trailer.

A little morning politics.

Now I don’t really like Geraldo, and I sure as hell don’t like O’Reilly but this is worth watching:

Geraldo wins in this one.

G-Unit Sh-sh-shakeups?

50 Cent was just on Hot97 a day or two back, sounding real mature and business like I gotta admit. He covered the allegations of Tony Yayo beating up Jimmy Henchman’s kid. It sounds like the man is trying to take G-Unit in a new different direction. ML’s favorite Young Buck might not be a part of the plans, although it wasn’t clear, likening Buck to The Game, doesn’t signal a bright future for him as a G-Unit soldier. I wouldn’t be too worried for Buck I think he can pull his own weight.

 

Oh and 50 confirmed G-unit said peace to:

Olivia, which is as surprising as needles at a heroin addicts house. She notches herself a second straight shelved (3 S’s!!) major label release, congrats!

Pharoahe Monch remixes Amy Winehouse.

One of the prime examples of a star-talent who hasn’t been able to shine nearly as he deserves due to label issues, Pharoahe Monch remixes the Amy Winehouse track ‘Rehab’.  If you know good music like Winehouse (who I should def. give some coverage soon), this looks like a can’t lose callabo on paper, and the sound lives up to that. The new date for the Pharoahe’s album ‘Desire’ is June 25th. The man is also on tour and from past experiences he has a well rehearsed and energetic show. The dates are:

Ex-Rocafella singer Rell is on his way to becoming R&B’s Nate Newton.

  What did Nate Newton due once his football career with the cowboys wrapped up? He started transporting that green getting caught twice with 213 pounds and then with 175. Now comes Rell, the former Rocafella singer, who hasn’t been really heard from on the music scene in a moment, by getting arrested with an impressive 50 pounds (for the R&B division of weed stashes). I hope he can shoot for 80 pounds for his next arrest by those pesky boys in blue.. or black if you’re “major”.

Bonde Do Role made Buffalo go crazy.

So it’s Tuesday and I’m still recovering from having a ridiculous amount of fun at the Bonde Do Role show in Buffalo. You can’t categorize their music as any single genre because its made up of an orgy of sounds ranging from hip hop to pop. There was crazy dancing/singing/yelling/screaming/random humping. I took some d-rate photos, click the photo to see more (I need to holla at some photography lessons, even though I took some). If they are stopping by wherever you may be and you want some crazy music in your life, be sure to check them out. More info including their tour schedule is at their MySpace. Their album drops on itunes this month and a little after that in the physical world!
