Politics As Usual New York Release Show, plus Special Guests.

ML will be in the building.

K. Sparks – Definition (Produced by Pajozo).

New York’s K. Sparks and Sweden’s Pajozo are new to me, but I dig this track. The beat is real jazzy and K. Sparks has a nice flow. Says K.,

This song is about my passion for Hip Hop…but I took it even further to discuss exactly what is the definition of real Hip Hop music…the jazz Hip Hop fusion of the beat that Pajozo made is dope…it’s real music

Apparently he plans to drop a track every Monday. I’m looking forward to the next one.

While catching up on my ish, I noticed that Yung Joc is currently on a tour sponsored by Crocs.. really now?? Nothing says Hip-Hop elite like a tour sponsored by Crocs. Makes a Lugz sponsorship seems real nice.

On that Wall Street Journal tip, I just hope Mr. Joc gets his Crocs checks cause uhh it’s not looking too good for that company.

I Need To Go Out More.

I was sitting around the pad yesterday when I passed over PBS and noticed someone strange on Sesame St. Will Arnett, from ML praised Arrested Development, was playing the part of a bad magician. I watched the whole thing and I kept wondering what the Sesame St. producers were thinking? Will Arnett was just playing his character from Arrested Development!!! Seeing this random cameo has now inspired me to search the Sesame St. archives for other, possibly hip-hop related cameos. I never watched the show much as a kid. But I now I see what I’ve been missing.

And, for anyone thats wondering, no I don’t sit around all day by myself watching children’s programming.

2 hours a day…

Tops.

After the jump is the Will Arnett clip (Funny for me. Maybe not so funny for you.)

Stevie Wonder Sings “Barack Obama”.

Just try watching the clip and not be singing “Baaaraccckkk Obammmaaa” the rest of the day. This is a clip some friends of mine put me on to when I was sans computer last week (I peeped it on their iPhone). Be on the lookout for some late pass material in the next few days, you’ve been warned.

Metallungies Hollers @ Savanna Samson and Sunny Leone, Interview.

In a drastic departure from the usual ML fare, your boy Knobbz took some time out of his busy schedule to hang out with pornstars. Strenuous work, I know. Both Savanna and Sunny were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. They certainly changed my perception of pornstars. Regardless, everything to do with this interview has made me feel really dirty.

Savanna is veteran of the porn business and is currently promoting her album, “Possession” which is coming out on KOCH. She also has her own wine company. Peep her single, I guess.

Download: Savanna Samson – Possession

ML: What’s the life of a pornstar like?

Savanna: You know, I don’t really know because to the day, although I happen to be a pornstar, I live in New York, my porn career is in LA, I make six movies a year — I mean, I could tell you what life in New York is like, but I go and I shoot my movies and it’s exciting and it’s fun and then I come back and I’m a normal person. So life as a pornstar as you might envision it is not my reality.

ML: Is it rewarding?

Savanna: Well if I have a good orgasm, it’s rewarding.

ML: Is the sex as good as it looks?

Savanna: In all my movies, I try to make the sex as real as possible. It’s not always happening because you have to remember the camera and the lighting and opening up the camera and do it in ways that the camera has a good view that doesn’t necessarily feel good, but for me the foreplay starts in the makeup room, so I try to make it as real as possible and for those few hours that I’m with my costar, he’s my man, my one and only man and I want to make it as hot as possible. So if I’m lucky, it’s as good as it looks.

ML: So, the action starts before the camera starts rolling?

Savanna: For me, yes. When the guy comes in, even though I’m curlers in the hair and no makeup on, we start the foreplay. I’m not one of these girls that looks at my watch and is like ‘Let’s do three positions and leave’. I want to make it true and real. I’ve been watching porn my whole life and I would say, ‘God, that girl is not enjoying it, that does not feel good, there’s no way’ and so I don’t want my viewers to think that about me. There have been times that the chemistry’s not there and maybe we’re working, but mostly, I chose who I work with and make it as real as possible.

ML: What’s the difference between sex in real life and sex on camera?

Savanna: Most of my fantasies come from things I’ve actually already done on camera and then I wanna take it home and do it in a way that feels good; you don’t have to worry about the camera and opening up and things like that and I was like ‘Wow I never thought of doing that’. I mean there are certain perks to being with a pornstar, because like I said I’ll want to make it hot and bring that home so my partner can enjoy what I’ve experienced.

ML: I was doing my research and you said your favorite position is with a man in the back and a woman in the front. How often do you get to do that?

Savanna: I get to do that more often than you can imagine. I’m fortunate enough to be open enough with my sexuality that if I’m with a man, and I’m recently single, but when you’re my boyfriend at the time, I know that it’s every man’s fantasy to be with a woman so I like to give that gift and I don’t like to do it all the time, but for special occasions, I love to get another girl and kind of share that experience with a man.

ML: What kind of music do you like to listen to during sex?

Savanna: Wow. Gosh, this depends. I love music and a full array of music. I love opera, I love house music, dance music, rock and roll, and it depends what mood I’m in. When I’m doing something loving, I’ll listen to something a little more seductive and sensual, but I could do hardcore rock and roll. It just depends on my mood.

ML: Does the mood affect the music or does the music affect the sex?

Savanna: I think the mood affects the music. When I’m in a certain mood, that’s when I tune into the music. I’ll put on music to fit my mood, but if I’m in the mood, then the music will either enhance it or lose my mood.

ML: Who are you voting for?

Savanna: I don’t like to share my politics, because I’m gonna piss certain people off, but I will tell you that I’ve been and am a liberal conservative, registered Republican, but I’ve regretted a lot of things about Bush. I’m not going to talk bad about our president because I think that’s totally disrespectful. He’s our president, we should not dock him while he’s still our president. And I’m waiting to hear all the views, but I’m really taking this stand and so I don’t want to make the wrong decision.

ML: What was the last thing you bought?

Savanna: I bought size twelve pants for my baby. He’s seven and he’s huge and he started school and his little belly’s getting so big. He’s a big guy like his father and I just went shopping and bought him some clothes that he would be more comfortable in for the school year.

Rapper Big Pooh – Rapper’s Delight.

Rapper Big Pooh of Little Brother just dropped a dope mixtape with production from Nottz, J Dilla, Khrysis, Focus, 9th Wonder, Illmind and Tha Bizness. Never having been a fan of Little Brother, I was surprised to hear Pooh holding it down lyrically. Oh, and "Plastic Cups" is now the official beer pong anthem.
