Metal Lungies

http://www.metallungies.com is officially up and running! As promised now there is no reason to not spread the word.

With a Friday not popping off, Hangover and I decided to head out to view Dame Dash’s Dash Films latest venture the 2nd State Property (trailer) movie. The setup.. 2days into release the movie was being shown on definitely the smallest of the Regal Cinemas 13 screens. The audience was mostly minorities and in total there was about 15 people there. If you haven’t seen the original don’t worry, the first thing that happens is a recap of the first state property movie. The movie on the outside looks like a flossed up version of a low budget movie, with the cheesy special effects. But forget all that the movie teaches important vocabulary ie “figdafeelme” “surprise parties”, important calculations on how much you lose when 3 keys get stolen and have to pay lawyers ($900,000).The movie it self is about rival groups fighting for the Philadelphia’s drug market. You get to see Noreaga play one of the hilarious characters dubbed El Pollo Loco, and Loon (FYI: thankfully only ex-bad boy in the movie)plays his father of when Loco was young. Genius. One of the workers for Dame’s drug team are the *drum roll* DIPSET!! Seeing Juelz and Jimmy Jones being led by Cam decked out in a pink mink coat and a pink range rover as they go stick up a spot is worth the price of admission alone. But that’s not all you get to see a lot of your urban industry folks such as Freeway, Oschino, Omillo Sparks, Mariah Carey, Roselyn Sanchez, MOP, Kanye Tidah (Who comes through with a nice little cameo w/ a stabbing on a porch in Chicago), Some rocafella UK rap group affiliate, Young Gunz, some boxers, Nicole Wray, and so on. I won’t bore you with anymore details…Get Down or Lay Down bitches! Oh yeah Metal Lungies *APPROVED*

Continuing my little piece how crackalakin the District of Columbia is:

Apparently on Walking Town DC, a Bike tour through the Anacostia River, is sadly at capacity. Its a damn crying shame I missed out, I’ve always wanted to ride through and enjoy this:

That’s not all, apparently in the DC Metro area, Ipod thefts just like in NYC, are up, which is horrible yada yada but the Washington Post article had a quote that caught my eye…

Across the Washington area, thefts of digital music players are rising, police say, putting Scalenghe and others through the emotional trauma of losing something that has become an increasingly important and personal part of their lives. Victims said they felt the thieves got an illicit glimpse at their musical tastes and even their “souls.”

WTF…If someone gets a peek at my “soul”…lets just say the thief himself will call the cops.

If your watching 24, you probably wondering, What’s Jack’s current # of kills so far?
No worries, there is a weekly kill count complete with pictures right here, my favorite so far is #37, is when some jokester yells “Hey!” at Jack and gets shots immediately after. If your not watching do your self a favor and at least cop season1 DVD for cheap and have about 17 hours of your life be sucked away by something beautiful.

I know you wont believe this, but DMX is in trouble with the law. From impersonating an FBI agent while having some crack on hand and then having the NYPD called on him who abruptly arrested him, well now he just straight up slammed into a cruiser with his suspended silence from the previous charge. No one wyles out like DMX, and for that we
In some early 90’s, smashing rap cds type move, Harvard canceled a Snoop Dogg concert ,due to his “obscene” lyrics. They are trying to play the finance card, but I’m sorry your fucking Harvard…that’s like saying P. Diddy cant afford to new Jacob watch. I’m sure Snoop is divested because he wont be able to vibe with rich ass/smart ass white kids, his obvious target audience through out his whole career. I hope he makes a diss to Harvard.

I bet they didn’t know his dirty secret.

If your a huge *NO HOMO* Mike Vick fan, then you better be supporting dude’s case and coping the new Ron Mexico joints. You cant get a customized Mexico joint from the nfl tho, they wont allow it anymore. The true victim in this thing other than the fans who cant get authentic Mexico jerseys is the real Ron Mexico who has stood up to let the media know his phone has been off the hook since the accusations came out.

OMFG video footage of 2pac!!. I wonder if this was filmed in Cuba. (note: this whole statement is sarcasm).

For my personal procrastinating-ass its crunch time to pick my college for next year, but a very promising option has popped up.

The Dame Dash Music group lineup is sort of thin IMO, but the upcoming ODB album in June looks really promising. Personally, I cant wait to hear the Noreaga cut he did.

When Dame Dash isn’t going to be pushing his next upcoming movie (Which if you peep you get to see Mark Ronson act REALLY WHITE), upcoming albums including the aforementioned, He is gonna run for United States president . I would vote for him, but sadly Lyndon Larouche already has that locked up. But I certainly wouldn’t mind having Rocawear+Pro Keds be the official supplier of US military clothing.

All Hackers aren’t evil as the media wants you to think, some of them actually want to brighten up your day with a nice message on construction road signs. The last quote is gold and exemplifies my views.

A really good interview with Common is up at mvremix, with alot of good insight, such as that the leaked version of BE is most likely not what the retail will look like and a the corners remix with mos def & scarface is on the way!! cant wait!

Allhiphop did a interview with Young Gunz, dudes are still real hungry still and it will be interesting how they do with a real huge push from Hov. Dudes are also expanding the horizons

AllHipHop.com: Besides the music, what’s going on in life right now? Where are your interests?

Neef: The real estate business.

Young Chris: Houses. Everybody needs a place to stay.

Another good interview is up at SOHH with Capone from Capone-N-Noreaga, the shit goes pretty in-depth about what he is up to next and the whole Lil Kim trial we’ve mentioned before and to how she was trying to came out like a retarated-gangsta when she said that she never seen her own people in questioning and including on how and where was subpoenaed…

i99as is calling like, ‘You got subpoenaed.’ They going to ni99as crib. They came to my birthday [party] and hit me with a subpoena trying to thug.

I hope this is the only place in the World that gets hit by terrorists.

Out.

I was gonna come through with a massive update about 3 days ago or so but my computer overheated to some oven like temperatures ish but never fret, ML is still here.. Late passes on some of the shit please.

First things first.. Sheek Louch dropped his two cents into the whole Fiddy beef, lets just say it some big 2 cents.. Sheek doesn’t waste a moment and goes hard at all of G-Unit.. He pretty much finished Banks (who is not a battle cat) & Yayo (His name is fucking Yayo, maybe he can sprinkle crack onto this beef), interesting what 50 & Buck come back with.

Since our last update Benzinoho was able to Resign, the source was slapped with a sexual harassment lawsuit by the ex-editor Kim O. The same lady that was riding out with the Benzino during the height of the whole Eminem racist tapes issue. Despite what Benzino claims The Source is obviously in turmoil. In that same interview I have no fucking idea what he is trying to say, anyone want to translate it for me? At parts it seems Benzino is deaf and doesn’t answer the questions he is asked and rambles on how the internet isn’t teh evil. All I can say is I’ll be happy if I wont have to mention him ever again.

Apparently the Timbaland that you saw in Fade to Black is no more, dude is pulling a Missy and dropping the lbs. And dude is even thinking about entering a body building competition. props. *no homo*

Oh My…You know you cant be a bigger mainstream accessory when the president is rocking you. What’s up with having only 250 songs (of country, where’s the Dixie Chicks?)?? You can fit that many on a mp3 cd.. So not cool Mr. Dubya. Next up for him I hope are some hardwood classics throwbacks..the orange bullets joint would look fly on air force one (PUN GALORE!!).

Now for the Dikembe Mutombo portion of the update, duke has been keep in it pretty busy eating with Yao & Ewing. In fact he is able to tie Ewing for gulliness. Sorry but no comment on WHO WANTS TO SEX MUTOMBO? In Case you were wondering (lies!!, you dun clicked already) the site is safe for the whole family to enjoy.

IM ON A RAMPAGE. The lyrical rampage portion is Metal Lungies *approved*!!

If this stays under $10, this might be the first piece in the Metal Lungies museum.

reminding you that DC is forever gangster:

Name that tune: Channel 9 is profusely apologizing for broadcasting an explicit lyric from a Snoop Dogg song during its Saturday morning newscast. Anchor Lesli Foster, who had just previewed an upcoming “Petline 9” segment about an orphaned rabbit looking for a home, gasped off-screen after the X-rated snippet aired at 7:50 — just before an orange juice commercial.
Several viewers complained to the station about the lyric, which instructs listeners to “just throw your hands in the [bleeping] air.” It comes from the rapper’s 1993 song, “Who Am I (What’s My Name)?”

WUSA anchor Derek McGinty told viewers Monday night: “There is no question the music used was very inappropriate and it does not reflect the station’s standards or values. A terrible mistake in editing the music led to it getting on the air, and actions are being taken to make sure that never happens again.”

We hear that a weekend news producer is in hot water for the slip-up, but station president Darryll Green told The Post’s John Maynard yesterday: “We really don’t discuss personnel issues.”

No wonder I couldn’t holla at my people on Thursday night… THX COMCAST!!

T.O. throwing subliminals at Donovan?? This can’t be MY humble T.O.!!

In some drug clinic William Hung is smiling… This shit is too beautiful to not share.

Before I go, hopefully you have seen the hacked pics of Vida off her cell phone, if not you are one unfortunate person.

out.

This is what I live for…..Beef Goodness. 50 and Tony dropped a D-Block and other enemy diss track (in response to Jada and others) with, frankly, a better feel to it than Piggy Bank, but a little repetitive and weak at points. Sheek came back with a track which was straight to the point, but not quite as murderous as Jada’s first diss. And even though 50 says he runs New York, Joe Budden says he runs New Jersey? Seriously though, good freestyle, cop.
Nas had a little something to say about the 50 cent situation as well.

So, Mariah had $30,000 dollars worth of vodka stolen from a delivery to her birthday party, and it was Armi too!!!!!!!! I’m sure Dame Dash is crushed that no one there could get hammered off his booze. But don’t worry they had emergency booze on hand for the V.I.P. guests, so no one had to hear Mariah sober. This shit would never happen with dipset, Jim Jones personally gives his protection to every bottle of sizzurp. Dipset! Dipset!

More on the Block….. Jadakiss is reported to have returned the bling to the Jeweler he borrowed it from…. 7 months ago. This makes Jadakiss even more gutter, and thats a good thing.

The Source is also keeping it gutter. The awards show may not aire on BET this year because the Source failed to pay the bill for their venue last year. One of the two big hip-hop award shows on T.V. and one of them doesn’t pay it’s rent…..for shame.

Jigga man on the “Time 100”? I like, I like.

So besides cranking out classic tracks. Foxy is plenty busy keeping it hood. She is facing charges for striking two women who did not give her a manicure because it was too late at the salon. Supposedly she got a pedicure, asked for the manicure and was told it was too late. She got pissed and tried to leave without paying for the package manicure/pedicure job. Two salon workers blocked her exit and she had a little scuffle with them. My prediction, she will do six years for attempted murder after the story blows horribly out of hand.

Track of the Day: Juelz Santana ft. Fabolous- So Whats it Gonna Be

Let me start by saying this: GO AND SEE SIN CITY!!!! That shit was a visual thrill as well as a violence fueled riot to watch. I dub it a classic *Metal Lungies Approved*. Michael Rourke has also gained a special place (no homo) in the figurative ML Hall of Greatness. If nothing else see that shit for Jessica Alba….you’ll thank me later.

So apart from my avid hate for reality television I do keep an eye out for Hip-Hop celebrities. Recently we were all blessed with the wonderful opportunities of “Flavploitation” and once again we have been given yet another source of Hip-Hop hilarity. Pepa from Salt ‘n’ Pepa has been chosen as one of the cast members on the Surreal Life. She will join the Lethal-Approved show alongside Janice Dickinson, Jose Canseco, Omarosa, and Bronson Pinchot. My predictions for this season: Omarosa and Pepa will kill each other, and Jose Canseco will snitch to the cops, while Janice Dickinson dies of overeating, and Bronson Pinchot will walk away without any investigation because he insisted he was a “Perfect Stranger.” Maybe this season will be the worst and help to “push it” off television. Damn I’m witty……..

The Infamous Mobb Deep were dropped from Jive Records supposedly because they were not up to the standards of their other artists such as Usher, Outkast, Justin Timberlake, and Britney Spears. I loved “Got it Twisted” but record companies don’t know how to market….. all except for Rebel Squad.

So, Sha Money XL got g-g-g-g-ganked in a Queens Barbershop. Supposedly it was a set-up. My question is, WHY THE HELL IS HE STILL GOING TO QUEENS BARBERSHOPS????? Dude has money can’t he get a cut elsewhere?

Is he throwing it up?

Word to my man Mugabe I hope he rules till he is 105. We need that kind of security over here. None of this 2-term crap.

R.I.P. John Paul II. The first Pope to be down with breakdancing and Jesus.

Video of the Week: Ghostface ft. Trife Da God – Biscuits (Recorded from the Projekt Revolution Tour)

You better believe Mr. Angelos tried to tap that.

I’ve been trying to do a piece on the state of our nations capital for a moment. I’ve finally got enough material and motivation to do so. But I’ll still keep it brief, be cause that is how we do. Now DC is supposed to getting a baseball team, they moved them down all fine and dandy but they didn’t have one minor detail in place, a TV deal. Because we all know tv + sports aren’t big in today’s society. So going down to the wire as the season starts the deal was reached, there will only be around 70 games shown in the DC area on the local UPN & FOX channels (owned by Rupert Murdoch). Why? Well because Mr. Oriole, the owner Peter Angelos straight up cock blocked it. He made it so that he had a bit under 100 Nats games air on his newly formed TV network and so he could make a profit (HE ph33rs the completion of the Nats). But here is the curve ball, since this is completion to the cable giants Comcast’s own Comcast sportsnet there is no way in hell they will carry Angelo’s network. So if you really want all the Nats games your only choice is DirectTV (Also owned by Rupert Murdoch).. Which surprise surprise will generate a monopoly of the DC market for Murdoch but it will put even more money back into Angelos’ pocket. Ill go in say it, FUCK YOU PETER ANGELOS (No comment on Murdoch.. his son did start Rawkus :P). And Baseball isn’t even my favorite sport.

In other DC news, the city’s public system is so wonderful that they not only have cat clinics in elementary school cafeterias, Mercurey spills of old ass thermometers caused by hoodlums in schools, but also employed terrorirsts as top officials. God damn, do they like to keep it interesting over there. I bet lions are gonna start escaping from the national zoo and run into a high school, I wouldn’t worry, because it would probably be shot. By a “student”.

Speaking of Washington, an ex-Washingtonian, Jarmoir Jagr lost his lucky hockey stick, excuse me while I shed crocodile tears for this tragic situation. Is he accepting donations?

HipHopGame has a nice collection of amusing hip hop pictures. My personal favorite (t-shirt worthy even!), are Jigga with the gold fronts and him tryin to throw up gang signs with Snoop.

With the death of the Pope (RIP), you might have missed that in Arizona they are gonna have a fleet about 400 volunteers monitoring the border to prevent illegals. Is it me or do Immigrants have the white man shook?.

In case you don’t watch some UK premier league footy, then I reckon you haven’t seen that even teammates get gully with one another. *NO HOMO*

I wonder if the republican or democrats support this. Who am I kidding, I bet, Lyndon Larouche is. (Ill try to get Mark to elaborate on this guy sometime)

I am 35% addicted to Porn. What about you?

My pick of ugliest NBA player, goes to…

There is a database of online April fools pranks, my favorite almost got me smoking out the wazoo on Friday.

I was browsing the Okp boards archives and came across the most genius Ghostface thread ever. The man who posted that is a genius.

ESPN.com has a nice 10th anniversary piece on how their website has evolved. All I can say is cot damn was it ugly back in the day!

Over at the legendary Bol’s ByronCrawford blog, Captain Jack has been posting his top 5 gulliest moments, let me just say the shit is a MUST READ.

#1 2Pacs Weed
#2 Tragedy Khadafi in da club
#3 Diddy’s gangsta
#4 Pete Rock runs with not the best crowd
#5 RA The Rugged Man’s nice offer

From Death Row to tha Poor House!!!! Suge Knight was ordered yesterday to pay $105 million dollars (take a second to compute that number) to Lydia Harris. She was the wife of Michael Harris the man who helped him start Death Row Records. Harris gave $1.5 million in ’91 to help start GF (Godfather) Entertainment, one of the divisions was to be Death Row Records. If you want to hear the full story watch “Welcome to Death Row“. Basically, Suge cut Harris out and his wife (who handled his financial matters since he was in prison for selling rocks) sued Suge.

The Preacher’s Son is looking to augment his paper stack. Wyclef Jean has developed an affordable sports car and hopes to get a major distributor for his new ride. Now, if only he could take some of that energy and put it towards MAKING A NEW FUGEES ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Speaking of automobiles, P. Diddy is looking to expand his marketing empire to include the sales of rims. Its corporate baby!!! It don’t stop!!!

With all this fire hitting the market recently I felt it was time to slow down and take a good look at what’s coming to us:
– Of course, the new Common album, an instant classic and I ain’t even heard it.
– Fat Joe: All or Nothing, I have no doubt this will be incredible, like every single so far
– Kanye West: College Dropout Video Anthology DVD, This shit will be murder with unreleased video of an extended 8-minute “Workout Plan” video, as well as a making of Jesus Walks.
– State Property 2, Hits theaters April 13th, the sequel to an ML approved hood classic.
– Trina: The Glamorous Life, anyone and everyone associated with Missy deserves a look
– Saigon: The Greatest Story Never Told, enough mixtape hype to choke a horse
– Memphis Bleek: 534, I have been waiting for another strictly Roc album. Lets hope its as good a Sigel.
– Anything From Chamillionaire
-And in the far off, G-unit solo albums, Kanye’s Sophmore, and maybe Detox!!!!
(Anything I forget Lethal can fill in)

A new magazine is about to drop. Bridgez focuses on bringing latin hip-hop and hip-hop in general to a wide audience. The bimonthly comes to newsstands in Cali, Jersey, New York, MIA, and Chi-Town this April.

For all of you not keeping up with that Grokster case you have officially lost your rights to the internet. The Lungie has decreed it.

Track of the Day: Fat Joe- Safe to Say (The Incredible) (Produced By Just Blaze)

Note: This is from a movie and not from his actual court case.

Beanie Sigel, Beck, Will Smith are all in stores today.. the first 2 are Djlethal01 approved, but the last one is Skillz approved.
The Beanie Sigel is a very solid album except for the rehashes of old tracks such as Its On and the Killa Cam callabo Wanted (on the run) (sorry Mark), My favorite tracks are Feel It In The Air on which Beanie says some of the truest shit he has ever spit and One Shot Deal which has a very dope Redman verse. The new video for Don’t Stop is out.
A track which seems to have a mediocre neptunes beat that is listenable but could have been better. Note: ODB looks cracked up like whoa (RIP).
The Beck CD is just a damn good listen from start to end, it flows perfectly.

In some sad news Johnny Cochran died, for those that don’t know he led the real dream team to the Olympics…er victory in the Orenthal trial, while he robbed us of Free OJ t-shirts he was one crafty lawyer. RIP.

Today I came across a very nice video that reminded me a very important thing, never upset Mike Tyson..and cot damn what a monster he was inside the ring. This reminded me of this finding too…

The terrifying power Tyson, 35, generates with his fists has been studied by one of our top sports scientists.

Dr Matthew Pain, a lecturer in sports biomechanics at Loughborough University, has investigated the force behind Tyson’s punches, as well as the kind of damage that taking repeated blows can inflict.

His research has demonstrated that, if Lewis is caught clean by Iron Mike, the champion will have to withstand a force the equivalent of being involved in a 50mph car crash.

Tyson can deliver a blow which possesses the same weight as a 16lb sledgehammer being swung at 35mph.

Just one has the potential to knock out and hospitalise the average man.

In fact, the power of Tyson’s KO punch has an 85 per cent chance of giving an opponent severe brain damage. It is great enough to bust any bone in the average human skull.

A crazy cut called 5 Deadly Venoms dropped featuring Ghostface, Kool G, Lord Tariq, Raekwon and Kane.

Speaking of Rae, a dope piece is featured on the making of his classic Only Built 4 Cuban Linx album, its a lengthy read but a cot damn good one for any Wu/Rae fan. Props to Roaches over at okayplayer.

Make Em say ughhhhhhhh… Master P and Silk were arrested near the UCAL campus for having unregistered guns, You gotta love (biological) brothers who role together. I don’t know whats more scary, that they were near a university or that they had guns. I hope this doesn’t affect Lil Romeo’s nickelodeon gig, I would be devastated.

Remember last summer when Shyne was on top of the world, optimism was in the air, he had his own label, an album out, and he would probably be out of jail. Well have things changed since, Def Jam isn’t promoting him anymore and he might get dropped, and now even his assets have been frozen. A damn shame, I really hope Puff reaches out to him somehow when he gets out because if it wasn’t Puffy backstabbing ass Shyne wouldn’t be in this situation, for more info peep the Village Voice articles from the trials.

I bet even God is jealous.

Now you might remember from a few weeks ago we mentioned Brian “Head” Welch, who has not only left the band Korn, got baptized in Israel, then said some nonsense in a letter to 50 Cent through the media, well.. He isn’t done. After getting no response from 50 he wrote a second letter which includes some Rebel Squad mixtape worthy bars…

My little boy/ Bow your head in shame/ You’ve disgraced your father’s name now/ It’s time for you to lose,” the lyrics read in part. “Your little toys/ Won’t save you from shot 10/ Without me you will not win, no/ I swear you’ll lose

I kid you not. He even goes on to invite to fly 50 out for popcorn. Now wtf happened to his guy that made him go from a crazy ass band to Korn to him believing he is a messenger of God?? I really hope 50 responds in some way.

New Foxy Brown produced by Just Blaze with a foxy lady sample!! Must Hear.

There is a good interview with Sway & King Tech of the world famous Wake Up Show. After hearing the sampler from their website, the album which drops on May 24th- I am highly anticipating.

Speaking of highly anticipated, monkey yesterday mentioned the XXL rating Common got for his new album, well I cant wait for that shit either when it drops in June/May, as there is no concrete date for it yet, but the track listings are out. Credit: OKP forums.

It looks like Nas in all likely hood wont be replying to 50, which is a shame because he had the biggest chance to put shit into place.

If you missed it on Sunday, Jadakiss got Punk’d, IMO it was very well done and Jadakiss acted exactly in real life like you would expect him, ill go ahead and label this *classic* material.

Apparently rockin an Ipod can be a danger to your health, as the ipod jackings are on a rise in NYC. Simple solution don’t rock the attention-whoring white headphones or if that’s not a possibility have the waste band lineup (like my mans Zack do) be a celly, ipod and a bitty slug. No comment on my preferred method.

Hillary Swank was fined for bringing in an apple & orange into New Zeeland, wtf would they do if u brought some 9 millys?

A friend of mine pointed out that since Fox wont be airing anymore of the madly-underrated show “My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss”, they have at least put up episodes 6-10 on their website, even if you haven’t watched the show, the comedy of the show is golden and I recommend you should check it out.

If you truly got dough to spare, then this is the wallet for you.

Before I dip out, good to see Mali running their soccer team Saddam Iraqi Olypmic Committee style.

Rumor: Chad Johnson banging Trina? pull over!

www.metallungies.com coming at you soon!!
Out. 3 days till Sin City.

Since I know you’ve been hearing it, many of you are probably asking “What the fuck is Flavploitation?” Well, our good man Chuck-D describes it as “the systematic one-sidedness of the production companies that are chosen by these big corporate entities.” I would put it in the simpler terms of Strange Love makes Flavor Flav look like a ignorant SOB.
I mean how can you make him look any worse? They brought his fucking kids and ex on the show just to show a domestic disturbance. I’m not saying the guy wasn’t crazy before but he definately was not the dumbass they perpetuate on that show. I never liked this show, I just hate reality television.

In other news, Lil’ Kim is doing it straight thug, offering no amnesty to those who testified against her. I guess she decided she might as well go out giving the finger?! Its Bad Blood Baby! It don’t stop!!

People need to stop hating on Jigga. How do you say he’s a fucking biter!?!? The guy knows his shit and gives homage to the greats. For every tribute rhyme he spits he does 20 more great lines of his own. He quotes Biggie and L because they were his mentors!!! Where would he be without Big L?! Internet bitches need to take their comparison track bullshit and stick it up their ass!!!

Well, it seems Lil Flip and T.I. got in a little bit of a scuffle recently. I’ve been rooting for T.I. since day 1, but I don’t hate Flip. I just hope this beef ends with more fire like that 99 problems freestyle.

With his mind free from the troubles of the hockey season (i.e. his job) LA Kings Player Anson Carter has moved to the arts starting a record company called Big Up Entertainment. This just in, Rebel Sqaud Records has just started a beef with Big Up Entertainment. What are the grounds you say? The Hockey Season and that stupid name. Expect a diss track soon.

On a more serious note, C-Murder’s lawyer can now only bring a Pencil and Paper when he meets with him at Jefferson Parish’s Correctional Facility. Apparently that video made the Sheriff a little angry. He doesn’t allow pens because the hollow area can be “used to hide song lyrics.”

If you get up to New York, hit that Aids Benefit concert. Tego Calderon will headlining.

Last but not least, XXL gave Common’s new album the review I expected….Its a Classic. Not that I worry much about reviews anyway but this only futher asserts the hotness of the Crack Chicago MC. Damn I loved The Corner…….

R.I.P. Eric “Eazy-E” Wright

Track of the Day: Edo G. featuring Master Ace and Common- Claimin’ Respect

We ain’t so clean cut no mo’

Sup sup ladies and gents so I was talkin to my homie Mark, and I played a random track and it was 50 Cent-Elementary and lets just say I don’t even know what to say here is the hook…

[50 Cent] The cat in the house go
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow
The bird in the cage go
Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet
It’s elementary

In all seriousness download the track and listen for yourself.

In other news Pat O’Brien is a P.I.M.P/Perv/Hater/Alcoholic all jam packed into one from hollering at his wife and gf about what nice things he’d like to do to em’, to making nice comments like

A source tells us he used to refer to a gay African-American senior producerat “Access Hollywood” as “the Fruit Monkey.”
To his face.

oh but that’s not it, Pat also would be trying to holla at those access Hollywood honeys like Nancy O’Dell (shiiit i would to) and Shaun Robinson, droppin N-bombs, telling gay men he had a gift for them and told them to bend over but sadly Pat is on a self-implicated injured list, he is in “rehab” for alcohol.

Speaking of alcohol, I have found a *NEW* role model. The Wilt Chamberlain of alcohol offenses. and NO you cant have him (he locked up silly).

If your waiting for the new Joey Crack like us here at ML, wait till May 24th, the terror squad apparently is going to have to bust his (big) ass to clear samples for 2-tracks, where is the love? Joey isn’t done with 50 either tho, he makes a cute comparisons to an abused girl.

If anyone still watched SNL they would’ve seen David Spade with a penis for his nose (as he played Owen Wilson in a sketch.)

Free Whitney Houston, t-shirts are being made…rehab is like prison I tell ya!

An Update on our last update about N.E.R.D., fear not they are still gonna make music as a band…but their label still sucks.

Finally as I leave you, I wish you a happy early Easter and I pray this wont be a family activity you will have.

Out.

I just came back from a nasty bout of the flu and as soon as I find something newsworthy it has to be this………N*E*R*D* is no more. The Supergroup broke up after a stream of management conflicts at Virgin Records. This is a sad day in music history, N*E*R*D* was a group who broke out of the boundaries of Rock and Roll, mixing the musical genius of the Neptunes (which Chad and Pharell are also part of) with a talented band whose members looked good on paper and sounded great on wax. They could play hip hop, rock, r+b, techno, and just about anything else. The group has no animosity towards each other and do not cite personal differences as a reason for disbanding the group. On Radio1 (where the split was announced) the group said they might still release songs they record together and bootleg them to the internet. I hope they do this and show that bastard record company that the label does not control the music. Don’t get me wrong I would kill for another studio record, but if that means compromise, then fuck it. On the other hand, if no new music ever comes and I am forced to listen to “Fly or Die” and “In search of….” in a constant loop then I will claim the head of a Virgin Music Executive.

If you love producers, and I know you do, then you need to cop that upcoming Motown Remixed album. This album is basically taking 15 Motown classics and remixing them for the Hip-Hop Heads. The album will feature:

– The Randy Watson Experience: Ahmir “?uestlove” Thompson and James Poyser – “I Heard It Through The Grapevine” (Gladys Knight & The Pips)

– DJ Green Lantern – “Mary Jane” (Rick James)

– Salaam Remi – “ABC” (Jackson 5)

– DJ Z-Trip – “I Want You Back” (Jackson 5)

– DJ Jazzy Jeff – “Papa Was A Rolling Stone” (The Temptations)

– DJ Spinna – “Keep On Truckin” (Eddie Kendricks)

– Hank Shocklee – “Smiling Faces Sometimes” (Undisputed Truth)

– Easy Mo Bee – “Just My Imagination(Running Away With Me)” (The Temptations)

– Mocean Worker AKA Adam Dorn – “I Just Want To Celebrate” (Rare Earth)

– Hotsnax AKA Full Phatt – “The Tears of A Clown” (Smokey Robinson & The Miracles)

– King Britt – “War” (Edwin Starr)

– DJ Smash – “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours” (Stevie Wonder)

– Da Producers, including Paul Simpson – “Let’s Get It On” (Marvin Gaye)

– Rafe Gomez and David Baron as The Groove Boutique – “Quiet Storm” (Smokey Robinson)

– Tranzition (everyANYTHING) – “My World Is Empty Without You” (Diana Ross & The Supremes)

The album, which will also be complemented by an Unmixed Version, will drop May 24th.

Speaking of producers, you also need to head over to the Priceless Productions webpage. These are some MoCo guys who make some hot beats. My Four Favorites from their new shit are: Late Night, Girl, How I Feel, and Dismatled. “Late Night” sounds like the beat for the next Dipset single, classic. Check Em’ Out and tell em’ what you think.
