Late pass please! I just saw this on E!, it looks like Hip Hop has FINALLY infiltrated young kids television programming with Hip Hop Harry. I can see it now, kids during recess claiming they are hip-hop cause they watch this. But why isn’t there a Rock N’ Roll Robby or Country Chuck??
Anyway here is a magical clip dealing with dried apples:
For some reason, I think Soulja Boy’s agent better be on the phone right now trying to holla at HHH’s (no wwf) people.
Inspired by our friends at Hip Hop Is Read and Oscar Peterson’s recent passing, here’s a tribute to all the great artists we lost in 2007. Musicians, writers, directors, and more. This isn’t everyone who died in ’07 (you can view that list here), just those that affected us at ML specifically.
Let us know who you are mourning in the comments. Mourn with us.
I know AM put up something a bit ago.. but I HAD to use this picture (note: YOU SAW IT HERE FIRST ON THE INTERNETS!). Enjoy some videos on how Prisoners spend their Christmas + Others, after the jump. Back Wednesdayish…
If it was possible to OD on Wu-Tang related stuff today at ML, today would probably be the day. We’re covering ALL the spectrums! (Dont be surprised if you see next: a Wu-Tang Hockey team)
Not gonna lie, those belt buckles are pretty dope. Don’t be surprised if you see one of these on copped!
Another new feature: guest appearances by rappers that make you scratch your head and say “WTF?”
I’m starting this off with a sublimely ridiculous pairing: KRS-One & nu-rap-metal 1 hit wonders Crazy Town on the latter’s song, “B-Boy 2000.”
I’m not even giving you an mp3 of this one because I’m so ashamed on KRS’s behalf.
The song starts with Crazy Town singer Epic (wish I was kidding) claiming “we’re taking hip-hop to a new level.” The then-34 year old Kris Parker sounds confused and old on this song, and his mercifully brief verse is not much better than Crazy Town singer’s verse. (I refuse to type his name again). Why is that?
If anyone has any other suggestions for future entries in the “WTF?” appearances, let me know in the comments or email me at aaron.shadescythe [at]gmail.com.
Damn it, We know we said we weren’t going to talk about Soulja Boy’s music again. But PD, who you may remember from great ML work such as the TITC recaps, sent this in to me and I was obligated to you, our readers, to post this. I didn’t know dudes from Wisconsin had such good rhythm.
James Lipton was a pimp growing up? Now that we think about the way he does his interviews in his cool demeanor, we’re guessing he was probably a very efficient pimp. Read:
James Lipton, the host of U.S. talk show, Inside the Actors’ Studio, once worked as a pimp in Paris, France.
The revered TV presenter, who has sat down with Hollywood’s biggest names for in-depth chats about their life and work over the last 13 years, has revealed he once procured clients for French hookers.
He says, “This was when I was very very young, living in Paris, penniless, unable to get any kind of working permit… I had a friend who worked in what is called the Milieu, which is that world and she suggested to me one night, `Look, you’ll be my mec… We would translate it perhaps… as pimp.
“We were earning our living together, this young woman and I, we made a rather good living, I must say.”
Lipton reveals in his new book Inside Inside he would set up sex shows for clients of his lady friend.
He adds, “I had to accompany my clientelle to the Rue Pigalle, which is where these things occurred. And then I’d take them up to the room and I had to remain there because they were very nervous, they were young Americans for the most part… and they didn’t speak French.”
…The 1st Annual Chess Kings Invitational Tournament. If you halfway follow Wu-Tang you know that chess is one of their many re-occurring themes. Congrats RZA, now you can fully concentrate on fixing the Ghostface vs. Wu situation. Like, now.
