Looks like Buckshot is home and well enough to do the Macarena. From the press release:
While it’s still unclear what caused the seizures, Doctors believe that Buckshot was physically drained and became severely dehydrated to the extent that caused his body to shut down and suffer 9 seizures in less than 1 day. Buckshot was in good spirits today as he left the hospital, and is looking forward to his next endeavors as he prepares to finish his group project with KRS-ONE, begin work on his third album with super-producer 9th Wonder, as well as a 4th studio album from BLACK MOON (DJ EVIL DEE and 5FT). In a statement this morning, Buckshot said "I want to thank all the fans who called and wrote emails extending their well wishes and prayers. All the support helped me recover that much quicker."
I’ve seen this commercial countless times but never noticed the VERY last second until ML friend PD pointed it out. That little smile is proof of how “tough” the cowboys are. Dude should just quit and go do Dancing With The Stars. And yeah I know Brain Dawkins is in this too, but he’s more like a stage prop.
Leave your death threats in the comments.
Michael Mooney, a writer at the Broward-Palm Beach Times, wanted to find out what it was like to just take a prostitute on a date without doing anything physical. Read his interesting experience here.
When I was in New York earlier this year interning at GIANT, I stayed with my older brother. He used to write for a bunch of rap magazines and still regularly receives promos in the mail despite the fact that he’s all but retired from rap journalism*.
Anyway, I was going through his promos and found the last two DJ Khaled albums. I was absentmindedly flipping through the CD booklets and noticed the following executive producer credits on each album.
Listennn…The Album: Executive produced by DJ Khaled, Fat Joe, and The Streets
We The Best – Executive produced by God
My brother emailed me the other day to tell me he got the promo for Khaled’s latest, We Global; executive produced by Allah. Wish I was kidding.
Serious, not only does he have the streets and represent them, he’s got God and Allah on his side. Maybe they can help him make moovies.
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 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.)
I just read about this on HipHopDX. It looks like Sandman has left the Re-Up Gang. Dude was basically tired of being in the side-show. I always liked Sandman’s shit. It’s just a bummer that this dude let one bad album ruin his career. I’m not saying no one is going to buy a Sandman album, but no one is going to buy a Sandman album.
Maybe I’m wrong. He could pull an Ice Cube. But, then again, Ice Cube was the most talented member of NWA. Oh Snap. I didn’t mean it like that. Keep your head up Sandman.
Maybe change that name…
After the jump is his solo video. Its actually really good.
{Plus: I haven’t posted this because of retarded internet set-up at UMBC, but there is a new season of ML Radio coming soon… and more posting from me. Since I have interweb now. New season starts next week.)
I can’t believe I just heard John McCain say, “I just want to thank Daddy Yankee” on the nightly news. I guess this was John Macs back up plan after not being able to get the critical political support of Mr. Jeezy. Also, I just saw Paul Scheer (of Human Giant and Best Week Ever fame) reads ML. *Blown*
