2008-08-28T11:20:00.005-05:00

Recognize dat boy, Hot Sausage!! Eli Porter, he's coming for ya! This is destined to be an internet classic.

LYRICS, PEOPLE. SING ALONG:

I invented da hot sausage with cheese and gravy,
With lettuce on the side, I be keep it.. be real..
Remember the days we used to fry the french fries, and eat a l'il ketchup and eat a little mus' (mustard)
I'm hot sausage, I keep it real
I keep it gutta
I keep it faithful,
Lil hot sausage, lil hot sausage, lil hot sausage, pimp dis out, looklooklooklooklook
[Indecipherable, but it sounds like, "You remember dat", or sum ol' Creole ish.]
"You remember dat"(??)
l'il hot sauage out the 3rd ward,
l'il hot sausage out the 4th ward,
lil hot sausage out the 5th ward
lil hot sausage out the 6th ward
lil hot sausage out the 7th ward

[Indecipherable, sounds like, "Gimme that look." or some ol' Jamaican shyt. Buyaka! Buyaka! Blo!!! Either that or "You remember dat" again.. which sounds more likely, I guess, but it's just funnier to include some Jamaica ish.]
A lot of fat niggas, they like to eat hot sausage.

It's hot sausage it's smoke sausage, it's cold sausage, it's warm sausage.

Quote of the Day...

2008-06-10T06:15:00.010-05:00

Batman Begins/The Dark Knight
director Christopher Nolan

"Nolan sums up his hypocritical approach to Batman nicely by saying he would never do The Penguin because he feels the character is too unrealistic for his world. A big fat capital FUCK....YOU!!! You're telling me that bullshit acid trip fucking Scarecrow crock of shit was realistic?!! You hypocritical, boring, talentless FUCK!! You can't pick and choose whatever the fuck you want to be considered "REALISTIC". The Penguin is a fucking criminal kingpin. The depiction of him as a deformed creature was entirely Burton's creation. You're telling me a short fat fucking criminal boss is too unrealistic for your world Nolan?!! EAT AIDS YOU PATHETIC CUNT!!"

A poster from "Ain't It Cool News", talking about Christopher Nolan's decision to never use The Penguin in his bat-flicks. (Which is actually news to me, but anyhoo...)

My Favorite Video of All Time, by my Favorite Group of All Time

dpz, RBG's stand up. Heh, can you believe they actually played this on BET? Post 9/11, this almost looks like footage stolen from an insurgent training camp. Ha. Love the African martial arts segments.

And for my dpz fans out there, they have a new album called "Information Age" that should be out in November. (Around election time, coincidentally enough. I'll have something to space out to while celebrating the inauguration of Obama's presidency.:^J) Here's what's funny. I'm signed up for their mailing list, but I had to go to Wikipedia to even find out about this. C'mon, guys. You should have someone who's on stuff like this.

Records site that seems to never get updated, and is for all practical purposes broken. Still good for a few pics, some other stuff. (Are they even still *With* Columbia?)
BossUpBU.com-- The site for DP'z indy label, "Boss Up Records", that has, to date, *NO* mention of a new album. C'mon, y'all.

Trick Daddy vs. Plies

2008-06-08T02:41:00.003-05:00

There was a post on "That Bitch's" Rhymes With Snitch awhile back about a supposed altercation between Trick Daddy and Plies. Mysteriously, there's been little to no more mention of said incident. I was starting to wonder if it was only a rumor. However, I couldn't help but notice that on a recent video from World Hip Hop Trick has a few choice comments for his fellow Florida mc. And also, do remember Trick recently left Slip-N-Slide to form his own "Dunk Riders" label.

Now, i'm not saying this proves the rumor about the fight, but it certainly does lend it more credibility. The vibe i'm getting is that the vet Slip-N-Slide frontman, Trick takes except to young up 'n' comer Plies taking what was once his spot as the label's golden boy. The plot thickens.

Open Letter to Cory Gunz's Record Label *

2008-06-06T09:43:00.010-05:00

Cory Gunz is generating/will continue to generate significant buzz due to his appearance on Lil Wayne's Carter 3. (HUGE props to Wayne, can't say this enough, for putting Young Gunna on wax with him. Not a lot of mc's who'd even do that; help the next man get on, especially somebody who so willfully almost murders you on your own ish.) Gunz killed it on here. One of the rules of power states that you never outshine the master. But Gunz takes no prisoners on this track and pretty much hijacks it from Wayne. (He can't help it; he's just nice as a mofo.) Now would be the perfect time to prep "The Commencement", his first official studio album, for release. Don't squander the opportunity like Atlantic did with Saigon. (When he got the role on Entourage, the album should've been lined up and ready to go.) Look at the buzz CG has generated. And remember, this is just with those who are net savvy enough to have already heard the song. There's quite a few people who still haven't. Just wait until the album comes out, and layfans hear young Cor mass murder the track. That's the kind of publicity you just can't buy.

And he goes in again, with Jadakiss, and murders it again.

Put the man out, please. You like money, don't you? Yah, I thought so. It'd be the perfect opportunity to piggy back Wayne's success, and would guarantee Gunz at least a gold album, which would be enough to at least get his foot in the door. Once people hear his talent, the rest will be easy.

Will it be done? I doubt it.

But man I been sayin...

-------
* As far as I know, Cory recently announced he'd left Def Jam, so I don't know who has him signed now. If he's a free agent, someone, ANYBODY!!!, step in, sign him and put out the album. Or hell, maybe he could just put it out independent. Probably be a smarter move anyway. Just put the album out, A.S.A.P. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity here.

Dr. Carter vs. Dr. Octagon

2008-06-06T09:24:00.007-05:00

Kool Keith, "Waiting List" from Dr. Octagon

Kool Keith, aka Dr. Octagon- Blue Flowers

Lil Wayne, aka "Dr. Carter"- Dr. Carter

Streets is watchin', Wayne. Just thought you oughta know. There's other southern hip hop heads out there who like Nirvana and alt hip hop too, not just you. :) Production even sounds very close to the original, even though the two tracks are credited to two different producers. (Dan the Automator and Swizz Beatz, respectively, so this could get really interesting.)

This Comedian is the Future...

2008-05-25T23:55:00.006-05:00

I can't say enough about Deon Cole. Mark my words, this guy is going to be HUGE in the future. Just like way back when, when I was watching Dave Chappelle and thinking, "This guy's funny as hell; he's going to be a big star someday," I can see that Deon Cole is going to be huge.

There's a certain genius in his bits too. Let's be honest, a lot of times really intelligent black comedians have a very hard time getting over with black audiences. Unless you're telling booty jokes or talking about somebody's momma's nappy hair, a lot of times black audiences will give you the cold shoulder. ("Black Thai." Haha!!!) So the way he uses his notebook to denote the jokes that aren't working is a way to use intelligent humor for those who get it, and still poke fun at it for those who don't.

His delivery brings to mind alternative comics like Steven Wright and Mitch Hedburg. (R.I.P.-- I was waiting for Mitch to become "The Future", but he died first. Too soon, too soon. He was destined for great things. A true genius.)

Plus, really smart black comedy is just a breath of fresh air, you know. I'm tired of comedians pandering to the basest instincts. I don't knock them for it, because i've seen what happens when black comedians try intelligent humor. (They get slaughtered on The Apollo. Comedians in general get slaughtered there, but intelligent comics get massacred.) Which is ironic considering this's the place that exposed us to people like Redd Foxx and Paul Mooney, but that's a whole 'nother blog post.

Anyway, Deon Cole is the future of black comedy.

But man I been sayin'...

Saigon Leaves Atlantic

2008-05-21T23:41:00.012-05:00

Whew, Sai's at it again, venting further about his troubles with Atlantic Records. In a recent MySpace blog post, he complains about being all but ignored by the label.

Some choice quotes:

"I put out 2 songs on Atlantic Records, the first one was called 'Pain in my Life' feat Trey Songz. This song recieved GREAT reviews, massive press and was to set the tone as to who I am and the type of artist I am.. Atlantic Records felt I needed a party song, or a sexual song or something like the other artist they have up there. On one side of the token they're telling me they need to market me to the youth yet they want me to use adult content... They wanted me to tell 12 and 13 year old kids that its cool to be strippers and gangbangers... I live in these communities so I see the power and the effects this music has on our children.. We disagreed and I guess their way of saying fuck me was, they NEVER worked the record at radio.."

"We give them 'Come on Baby' feat Swizz Beatz... And once again, NO radio staff is working it, NO promo tours, not even a fuckin poster or an online banner.. NOTHING.. When it came time to do the video, they gave me 28K.. LOL... 10K more than the measley 18K they gave me for Pain in my Life.. Thats 2 videos for under 50K and this is supposed to break a new artist???... They gave me less than 50K for 2 videos... If you go up to the Atlantic offices their are pictures on the wall of artist you NEVER, EVER, EVER heard of in ya life.. and probably never will... I like to tell myself that the money they were supposed to spend on my project just went to T.I's legal team and court fees...Then I feel they did something good with the money..Haha"

Sometimes I fear for Young Sai's career, because to a certain extent, one has to play politics when dealing with major labels or "The Powers That Be" in general. Sai seems to be unwilling to play the label games. The comments he makes here about the label directly targeting young, (mostly) black kids is a very explosive comment, when you think about it. I hope he knows that many of these label execs have huge rolodexes and maintain contact with one another. (The old "You'll never work in this town again." saw still applies in many cases.) So I hope none of this affects his relationship with the new label.

Which brings us to the good news: He's no longer with Atlantic Records and says he still plans to release "The Greatest Story Never Told" this year, under a new mystery label that will "surprise" everyone.

If I had to guess-- and don't quote me on this-- say hello to the newest member of Def Jam Records (or maybe Jay-Z's rumored new record label), Saigon. No real evidence to back this up, but just a hunch I have.

I'ma eat my words on that one. Plies' "Real Testament" to date, has NOT gone platinum. (Hey, these are predictions, not actual science. I can be wrong here.) He did, however, go Gold, which in today's market is an achievement in and of itself. I failed to factor in the average Plies fan, or at the very least his targeted fanbase. I think Tru Life said it best: "Make songs for the [women], that'll get you on top. Do songs for the thugs, bootleggin' won't stop." Plies' fanbase, so-called "d-boys", "thugs", "goons" or what have you, are a lot more likely to buy a bootleg of his album than the actual item itself. I'm inclined to say his followup will either match or best The Real Testament's success, but i'm not betting on the spending power of "goons" again.

MIBS is Back...

2008-04-28T14:24:00.004-05:00

Hey everybody,

Know I haven't blogged here in quite awhile, but i'm just writing this to let everybody know that MIBS is officially back in business. See, long story short the reason I haven't been blogging much is because I didn't have a dependable online connection. Dial-up was just a pain. And in the between time, my laptop conked out on me. I've since upgraded to Hi-Speed, and fixed my laptop (bought a new motherboard and installed it myself, so yeah, i'm da man!) so now you can expect to see me updating the place more regularly now and into the near future.

STAY TUNED!!!

And now a message from one of our sponsors...

2007-08-07T20:26:00.002-05:00

What's happenin', mayne? It's ya boi, Fiddy, announcing the launch of the latest in our G-Unit ladies (and some fellas) line, G-Unit Dildos. For the lady out there who lives the G-Unit lifestyle, these dildos are gonna teach all them other jealous bitches out there how to stunt.

Our G-Unit dildos come in three distinct sizes:

Curtis, for those out there who only need "jus' a l'il bit".

Next we have "The Magic Stick", for those who want to go to the candy shop, and have a taste of the lollipop.

And finally, "The Massacre" for those times when you don't wanna take your panties off, but just pull 'em to the side.

Just take it from our Chairman and CEO, Mr. G-Unit himself, 50 Cent:
Niggas thinkin' they gon' merk Fifty, how,
when we got guns the size of L'il Bow Wow?

G-Unit Dildos... Shawty I got what you need, when you need to feel a bzzzzzzzzzz...

We salute G-Unit Adult Products, yet another proud sponsor of M.I.B.S.

Feel Good to Be Beatin' a Real Goon, Don'a?

2007-08-07T19:45:00.000-05:00

At least, I think that's what he said in "Shawty". Well, ok, enough griping outta me on this blog. I did promise you guys a glimpse into the future, right? I'm supposed to be telling you where things are headed in the next couple of years.

Well, here's my next prediction. Plies is going to be the next big thing. He's next. He's on, so wipe him down. My cousin and I were having a discussion recently about who would be the next big thing in the game now that gangsta rap-- NOT HIP HOP-- is officially dead. (Oops, oh yeah, there's another prediction for you-- Gangsta rap is dead.) Nas & co. gave the wrong diagnosis to the wrong patient. Because gangsta has become so tied in with hip hop's image, some people began to mistake the two for total versions of one another. So yeah, address your flowers & condolensces c.o. gangsta rip, not hip hop. The music really has gotten tired. It's getting so having a rap sheet is more of a qualifier for the music than being an actually TALENTED lyricist. But it's about to change. Remember who said it first. Now don't get me wrong, talking greasy on a beat will NEVER go out of style, but if you don't have ANYTHING ELSE to bring to the table, it's not going to sell. Some big name hip hop cd's from some big name "gangsta" artists *cough*CURTIS*cough* are going to flop, hard.

Whew, so anyway, my cousin disagreed somewhat. He said that it still has life, but it's going to take someone who just takes the ignorance of it to awhole 'nother level.

Enter Plies. Man, this dude is one of the grimiest artists i've seen to hit the scene in quite some time. I know we're in a recessed market and everything, but expect his debut to do 2 milly, just like Jeezy's. Plus, in an era where there are legions of "studio" gangstas running around, I really do genuinely believe that Plies has at least done some of the stuff he raps about. And oddly enough, even though his lyrics are really gully and street, he actually does have some real rhyming abilities as well. So yah, big ups to Plies, and early congrats for that multi-platinum plaque. (Quote me on that; I guarantee you it's going to happen.)

What's really going to be the deciding factor, though, is what he does for an encore.

They Try'na Play Him, L'il Daddy...

2007-08-07T16:32:00.001-05:00

Has anybody else noticed how the media has been trying to caricaturize everything Barack Obama says, to make him into a joke, instead of the truly potent presidential candidate that he is? And because he's a genuinely straightforward guy, one who doesn't have a lot of skeletons in his closet, they're digging up anything they can to sully his image. Republicans want you to believe that he's too inexperienced to be president, and look who's leading the pack in trying to get people to think this way, DEMOCRATIC candidate for president, Hillary Clinton.

For instance, remember a few months back when allegations arose that he was involved in some kind of insider trading scandal. It just so happened that his broker had bought stock in a company he was set to pass legislation on. The way this works is, you give your broker money and he invests it for you in the things he thinks will be good investments. So even though Obama had NO WAY of knowing that his broker would invest some money in a company he was passing legislation about, they tried to play this up to make him look bad.

And now, they're trying to "Howard Dean"* Big Homey once again, by attacking his ideas about meeting with our enemies.
Obama wants to have sit downs with Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro and Kim Jong-Il; to meet with these very influential, very powerful men, man-to-man and try to affect some real change in the world. And Hillary Clinton, whom i've lost a ton of respect for after these comments, wants to make that seem like the most ridiculous idea ever. She's just politics as usual, somebody who wants to maintain the status quo. Well, y'know, MAYBE if you actually sat down with these people and gave other countries the respect we always expect them to give us (even when we HAVEN'T earned it) they wouldn't want to fly fucking airplanes into our trade centers.

So, just so we're clear. We have a nuclear arsenal, but we refuse to talk to a man with plans of building his own. And we're so against Communism that we refuse to talk to Castro, but our biggest trade partner is China, the largest communist country in the world.

But that's cool.

Someone should remind her that Big Homey is a Harvard graduate, and if she keeps playing him like he's short, eventually he's going to really embarrass her silly ass. Plus, I don't know if she got the memo, but people are sick of this "business as usual" ish. After 9/11 I think a lot of people woke up and realized that we can't just IGNORE these people like they aren't there. So her trying to make him look ridiculous is inevitably going to backfire on her.

But Man I Been Sayin'...
------------------------------

*To "Howard Dean" someone is to make them look ridiculous because of something they've said or done, all the while distracting from the fact that they were, and remain very competent, possibly very credible leaders. Dean was a threat; that's why they made his "Yaaahhhh!!" into a joke. If people actually stopped letting others manipulate their thinking, they would've paid attention to the man's views, and not that stupid soundbite that became sketch comedy fodder for months. C'mon, let's be real, what is it about the man getting excited about the job that makes him a bad potential candidate. Hell, maybe that's what we need, someone who's excited about changing this shit.

Just want to make it official...

2007-08-07T16:25:00.004-05:00

Barack Obama is the coolest presidential candidate ever. So from here on out, everyone will refer to him as "Big Homey".

MIBS has spoken...

The MIBS Lexicon

2007-06-18T03:07:00.000-05:00

The MIBS Lexicon

Coming from Alabama With It- ( Expression) An expression used to describe when a well-endowed man engages in sexual intercourse with a woman.

Variation: Please note that this expression can be used with almost any other location, relative to the user's location. For example, someone from Mississippi can say, "He banged her out, and he was coming from Alabama with it.", but a person from Alabama would not use Alabama, as it would denote he isn't coming from very far at all.

See: Kneecapping it, Ream

Go to the Mattress- (v.) (Expr.) 1. Used to describe an instance where you will utilize every means at your disposal to attack, destroy or otherwise subdue an opponent.

Ex.: I had a dumb bitch recently run a stop sign, causing me to collide into her with my '98 Taurus. Then, she had the audacity to get an attitude with me about it, like I was the one who made her run the stop sign. Luckily, there was very little damage to my car, so I didn't want to get the courts involved, but I swear ta Gawd, had there been ONE dent on my korr (bay area pronunciation of car) i'da went to the mattress on that ho.

2. As relates to a female, this one also has an alternate use. Used to describe an instance where you will utilize every means at your disposal to lace, cake or otherwise give money/gifts to a woman. "Going to the mattress", as it relates to a woman, means the woman is so fine that you'd literally go to your mattress (Back in "the old days" old folk kept their money between their mattresses-- To Hell With Banks!!!) to keep her laced up with money and nice things.

Ex.: Goddam, Pinky from OnionBooty.com is fine. I'd go to the mattress for that chick.

"I'll let it go."- (v.) (Expr.) Used when you have a gun, and you're not afraid to pull the trigger.

Origin- This one has it's origins in a conversation I had with a cousin of mines. We were talking about which rappers had the most violent names in the game. He mentioned to me a guy he saw named "Trigger", (Trigga?) and on the cover of his album he's pointing a gun directly at you. And the name of his album... you guessed it-- "I'll Let It Go". Man, now is that some gansta shit, or is that some gansta shit? This one won the contest, hands down.

Variation: Feel free to invoke the name of the god of gansta rap, "Trigga" when you say this one. Also, please note that delivery is everything. Try saying the "I'll" part a little slow, then speed up as you say, "Let it go".

Ex.: I'ma do like Trigga, nigga. I'll let it go.

N.C.H.S. (n.) - An acronym, meaning, bluntly, a "Nigga Can't Have Shit". It is used to describe the moments when, well, a black man is racially discriminated against, or otherwise encounters difficulty in life associated with his race.

Ex.: James did not receive the small business loan he was hoping for from the bank. Damn, guess a N.C.H.S.

Kneecapping it- (v.) Used to describe a man who is so well-endowed, his "unit" almost reaches to his kneecap, or lower.

Ream (v.)- The act of penetrating or being penetrated sexually, typically in a very skillful or thorough manner. While usually performed by one who is well-endowed; however any man is capable of reaming a chick out, while, conversely, any female is capable of being reamed out.)

Variation: Reamed out, Reaming out

Ex.: Shaqueesha got reamed out by Slim last week.

Slim won't leave ya nothin'-( Expr.) Slim is a generic term for any man who is especially well-endowed. (NO HOMO for all the references to well-endowed men in the Lexicon.) This expression is used to describe a condition where a well-endowed man reams out a woman so thoroughly, that whatever semblance she had of vaginal walls are obliterated and her next sexual partner will inevitably garner little to no pleasure from sexual conference with her.

Variation: Slim didn't leave ya nothin', etc.

Ex.: Don't let Slim get his hands on ya girl, because Slim ain't gonna leave ya nothin'.

"I'll take her to the show."-( Expr.) This is an expression used, interestingly enough, as a gauge to decide how attractive the woman (or man) on your arm is. If you would "take him/her to the show", it means that you aren't ashamed to be seen with her/him in public.

Variation: "You'll take her to the show?", posed as a question.

Ex.: Real conversation i've had:
A friend:"How fine would you say she is?"
Me:"She a'ight."
Him:"Do you think she's tight?"
Me:"She a'ight."
Him:"But you'll take her to the show, though, wouldn't you?"
Me:(Thinking)"Yeah, a'ight, I guess i'd take her to the show."
Him:"I know, you damn right you would. Hell yeah i'd take her to the show."

"That's my nigga, I smoke blunts with him."-( Expr.) This expression is frequently used by marijuana smokers to denote someone the smoker is friends with. There is no more powerful bond with a marijuana smoker than someone who is willing to indulge in smoking with them. This forms a bond that will last the rest of both smokers' lives. Many smokers typically lack long term enough memories to describe any real qualities about a person, yet oddly enough possess astounding memories in terms of the particular dates on which they've smoked weed and the persons they've smoked with on said dates. So when you ask them about a person's character, this is, more often than not, the response you'll get. If it is a person who has not smoked weed with the pot smoker in question, be wary of them at all costs. This one is to be used 'tongue-in-cheek'ly by non-smokers (or casual smokers) to denote anyone that person is good friends with, or anyone in particular a person likes.

Ex.:

"Who's he?"
"Who, him?"
"Yeah, who's that guy?"
"Oh, he cool people. That's my nigga, I smoked blunts with him."

Yay long -( Expr.) This expression is used ironically, to describe a thing that is not very long. (Note, this expression is used in conjunction with the hands, which are held out in front of the speaker, pointer fingers extended, typically five inches apart or less.) One of the common uses for this expression is to describe a man who is not well-endowed.

Ex.: She left her last boyfriend because he was about yay long.

Yay short -( Expr.) This expression is used ironically, to describe something that is very long. (Note, this expression is used in conjunction with the hands, which are held out in front of the speaker, pointer fingers extended, roughly twelve inches apart or more.) One of the common uses for this expression is to describe a man who is extremely well-endowed.

Ex: Slim won't leave ya nuthin' when he hits, because he's about yay short.

See: Yay long.

"You couldn'tve did that if we was in The Pen- ( Expr.) This saying is very familiar to anyone who has spent time in jail (i.e. "The Pen"), or knows someone who has. Many times, someone who has spent a substantial amount of time in jail finds themselves unable to cope with how the "real world" works. They will frequently take offense to a person's doing things that, in jail, would be criminal offenses demanding that the offending person be shanked or anally raped for committing in their presence. So therefore, they will use this expression... A LOT.

Ex: You know what; he couldn'tve did that shit if we was in the pen. Boyyyyyyy, if we was in the pen i'da beat that boy head in.

Well damn, N.C.H.S.*, huh? (*See Lexicon.) Look closer, read the face on this watch. (Particularly the red letters.) Tell me if it says the same thing to you that it does to me?

Here's a closer look.

Global conspiracy to insert racial epithets into wrist apparel, or a friendly reminder of why not to buy cheap ass watches from Wal-Mart. You decide.

Here's Your Sign(s)

2007-06-16T18:09:00.000-05:00
Here're a few signs i've noticed in my day-to-day life, and I just thought i'd share them with everybody.

I happened to notice this one while passing through a neighborhood in West Monroe. I got a laugh out of it so I thought i'd share it. Funny thing, the lady it belonged to noticed me taking a picture of it using my Treo and she walked over, saying, "You like my sign?" She went on to tell me that she's gotten plenty of people coming through looking at it, taking pictures, etc. Real friendly lady.

Heh, funny. When you're in the ghetto, it's a "Dead End" street. When you're in a... *ahem* Well Housed Internally Terrestrial Enterprise neighborhood, however, it simply has "No Outlet". Sheesh, who's over the street works crew, the guy from the "Grey Poupon" commercial.

Case in point. Heh... but no, seriously, I just found it funny that they were so honest about it. It's like, "Hey, this's a crappy street and we know it. Live with it."

And finally, this is one I snapped at a convenience store in Mangham, Louisiana. Gotta love good old fashioned country town stores.

The Best Commercial Ever!

GET SOME NUTS!!

What's funniest about this is, you know Mr. T. only hit him with a Snickers bar because that's the closest thing he had handy. If he had been holding a wrench, or something heavier, this would've been a completely different commercial. Afterwards, Mr. T was quoted as saying, "What, what Snickers commercial? What is this jibba jabba you're talking about!? I was just beating up some crazy fool!"

And now a message from one of our sponsors...

Hoodie hoo, whodie! Are you tired of gettin' no love from the ladies? Do you always live for bitches and blunts and not weed and money? Does the ghetto have you crazy, and you think your momma needs to pray for her baby? Well, get a whiff of the dirty souf', playa and you'll be fresher than a l'il bit, l'il daddy, ya heard me?

Try Whodi, the exciting new fragrance by Master P. Whodi, for the discerning cologne connoisseur who drives Hummers on 38's, sits on golden turlet seats and enjoys the subtle flavor of eggs and luncheon meat.

Master P. Cologne... Now you too can smell like P.

Saigon vs. Atlantic, Round 1

2007-06-02T15:41:00.000-05:00
More delays are on the way for those of you who are anticipating Sai-Giddy's, aka
Saigon's debut LP, "The Greatest Story Never Told". (Man, if these delays keep up, this is going to be one tragically ironic title, eh?) Anyway, on Sai's myspace page he posted the following while also insinuating that if nothing gives soon, he may very well leak the album himself:

"pleassssse dont believe that the hold up of my album has ANYTHING to do with me or my work ethic or my rate of producing GREAT music...If you go to YOUTUBE and type in JBTV Saigon you will hear snippets of my album that Atlantic doesnt seem to have the desire to release...I just think the once great Atlantic Records has been belittled down to a home of ringtone making artists, like they sign the great jingle writers and real artist like Myself dont get a chance to showcase my musical abilities...I feel like Tupac now...Its me against the world... not to worry though, my fans WILL hear my entire album very soon whether they put it out or not.. If they donnt I will and let yall be the judge of if the music is GREAT or not....Im beginning to think that being my album is geared toward the betterment and not the destruction of my people the powers that be dont wanna release it... Greatest Story Never Told coming this Summer...regardless...."

Sai's a tricky fellow, though, and he's known for doing attention getting moves like this. Such as apparently self-releasing a track entitled "Saigon diss to g-unit", knowing that the title would get people's attention. Only to have him personally say on the track, "I know what ya'll thought y'all was gonna see. You thought I was gonna diss my niggas, huh, G-Unit?" He then proceeds to praise G-Unit, and perform an entirely different song. (Remember when The Game's album, Doctor's Advocate was supposedly leaked, only to find out it'd been leaked by the Game himself, and few if any of the songs being leaked were actually on the album. Have to admit, ingenious way to thwart bootleggers and drum up interest for your album.) So this could very well be yet another red herring by him, but then again, it could be authentic, as his album has been delayed for quite some time now. It looks genuine, though. Either way, this one should be interesting to see.

(Oh, and another one for the MIBS Files-- Why the hell wasn't Sai put out as soon as he got put on Entourage. That publicity was priceless for him. For God's sake, who the fizzuck's in charge over there, Dopey the dwarf?!)

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Saigon, Sai-Giddy, Tha Yardfather, etc., in the words of Clinton Sparks, "Get Familiar!"

Abandoned Nation.
Saigon on Myspace.

Porntastic.

And now it's time for our first edition of "Give This Star a Porn Name", the hot new game where we take the name of a mainstream actor and give them a porn certified equivalent. From Janet Jackson was born "Janet Jacme". From Wesley Snipes of course we have Wesley Pipes. Now it's your turn. Give this actor a proper porn themed alter ego. (Winner to be announced.) For bonus points, pornify one of his movies. "Wesley Pipes" and "Woody Harrysack" in... "The Money Shot", that sort of thing.

Have fun!

The Secret Lives of Porn Stars

2007-06-02T14:47:00.000-05:00
Have you ever wondered what porn stars do in their free time? I know I have. I'm endlessly fascinated by the lives porn stars live after the cameras have gone away. Like, say, what does Mr. Marcus do when he gets recognized on the street? What does Sean Michaels do when he's with his girlfriend out in public and other women notice him and start flirting. (Because she's seen or heard about his *big* reputation in the industry, and wants to see for herself if it's true.) For that matter, what does his girlfriend do? How do you even go home to a girlfriend if you're in porn, after you just got done knocking off 5 supergorgeous 6'0" tall fine porn chicks willing to do any freaky thing you could possibly imagine, and better than any regular girl could ever do it? Even if your girl was equally as talented, equally as fine, how do you even manage to get it up again after having had sex ten times already that day. How can you possibly even sustain any interest in it?

For that matter, how does a porn star's boyfriend/girlfriend react to their doing porn in the first place? How can you be Pinky's boyfriend if you're an average man and she just got done getting reamed out by Wesley Pipes, who's kneecapping it? Even the most secure man must be tempted every now and again to wonder if he's as good as her last porn partner. ("You never make all those sounds when you're with me."-- And yes, I know a lot of times they're just acting for the camera, but still...) How do Kobe Tai's parents react to their daughter being practically the most popular Asian woman in American porn. How did any of them even get into porn in the first place?!

There's virtually an endless assortment of questions you could ask.

Which is why i've yet to understand why no network has done a reality show yet based around the life of a porn star. Sure, they've gotten close, with E!'s "Girls Next Door", but that show doesn't go far enough. Plus, it's on E!, so everything we see is going to be tame and watered down anyway. Imagine a reality show on HBO, that shows the real warts in a porn star's life (err... no pun intended there) all the gritty stuff you always wonder about but never ask. HBO itself even comes close, with it's "Cathouse: The Series" but there are numerous glaringly obvious questions that the show never dares to answer. I want to see more about these girls' personal lives, away from the ranch. But then, I guess that'd be another show altogether, then, wouldn't it?

Or what about a show based on the lives of young, up and coming girls trying to break into the industry? Imagine: "America's Next Top Pornstar". Or "So You Think You Can Suck"? Err, maybe, "Extreme F**kover: Porn Valley Edition". Or something...

And as much as i'd like to be the guy who gets this show off the ground, where do I go with it? Who do I take it to? (That is to say, who'll ACTUALLY LISTEN and be able to do anything with it.) And I have no doubt that a few months (or years) from now, someone with way more money and connections in the industry that I have will eventually do this show; it'll be a ratings monster and he/she will doubtless make millions off of it,

But man I been sayin'...

Gettin' My Grumpy Ol' Man on...

2007-05-11T10:26:00.001-05:00
... or "Now excuse me while I whip this out."
"Man I been sayin'..." I can't tell you how many times i've said those words. Every time something happens that I knew would happen, i'm always compelled to tell my friends, "Man, I been sayin' that was gonna happen." What I want this blog to be is an online record of my various predictions and observations about the world. I do see it, I see stuff coming time and time again. It rarely surprises me when it happens, but the egotist in me always wants credit for saying, "I said it first!" So this blog will be my attempt at that, a daily (or semi-daily) account of my thoughts on the world and it's people, and where I see things going in music, fashion, pop culture, etc.

I remember seeing a young adult movie star named "Honey" in a film with Mr. Marcus and being so impressed with her "talents" that I exclaimed to my friends, "Someone who's got skills like that should be a superstar."

And even as the words left my lips I remember even thinking to myself, "Man, what a nutty thing to say. She's a porno chick for God's sake, how could she ever become famous." And now... well, let's just say she doesn't go by "Honey" anymore.

It took me awhile to even realize that she was the girl from the video. I think it was around the time she appeared on Oprah and the rumors started swirling that she'd done porn before. (I remember thinking, "Hell, 'Superhead'?!! Who the hell is Superhead!?? You want to see Superhead, put on Mr. Marcus' Neighborhood and go find 'Honey'. Now THAT'S what you call "Superhead"! Heh... irony. ) But when I heard the porn rumors that's when it finally clicked. I was like, there's no way there can be TWO of them.

*Sob sob* They grow up so fast.

But man I been sayin'....

I remember thinking, in the late 90's, that I couldn't understand how The South hadn't taken over Hip Hop yet. I distinctly recall standing at a gas station one day and hearing a beat that just grabbed me. It has a nasty bass line and the drums were just hard as hell. After hearing one of the rappers spit a few bars, I realized what he just said had been ingrained in my memory. Don't get me wrong, his words weren't what i'd call anything remotely resembling a high bar of lyrical content, but it's just that some Southern rappers have such an audacity to their words that you can't help but remember them. For example:

A bad bitch, she wanted me to stay a l'il longer,
I'da put the dick up on her but I had a flight to catch.
-Webbie, "Wipe Me Down" ( L'il Boosie ft. Webbie)

Upper Echelon of lyrical ability, no. But how can you NOT remember this line.

And again, don't get me wrong, I love lyrical hip hop. In fact, that's what prompted me to notice the song. At the time I was hungry for an East Coast artist whose music had that visceral thump to it; something you can ride to AND nod your head too. And I sorely miss really talented lyricists. Anyone who can bless the mike gets HUGE props from me. (Saigon, Cory Gunz, Jae Millz, L'il Wayne, Soulja Slim, Juvenile, Scarface, The Game, Eminem, and all the late great gods in the game go without sayin'--> Pun, Pac, L, Big, etc.) But I just couldn't understand why something so visceral, something that just aims directly for the most basic part of a person's being, wasn't massively popular. Flash forward to the present and... well... y'know.

I remember saying, WAAAAY when Gremlins came out, that they should make the Mogwai into kids' toys. I remember continuing to say it for years afterwards; I couldn't conceive how NO ONE had had this idea. The creatures were (and remain) incredibly well-designed possible toys. (Hell, I know always wanted to play with one.) And then one day, this comes out.

It was like TIGER Corp. said, "Whaaaa.... you don't want these millions of dollars lying on the ground, Warner Brothers. Well, we'll take them." (I later learned of course that there HAD in fact been toys, but I don't think they were nearly as aggressively marketed as Furbies were. (And I was young; I wanted one, but never saw them anywhere!) Warner even had a partnership with Tiger and produced a Mogwai based Furby.

That's like Coca-Cola doing a deal to sell Coke that tastes like Pepsi. Or McDonald's entering into a deal with Burger King to sell Big Macs that look like Whoppers. Which further verifies my opinion that Warner had (have) no idea the goldmine they were (are) sitting on with Gizmo.

Yes, i've gone from talking about Karrine "Superhead" Steffans and porn, to Hip Hop, Mogwai, Furbies and Coca-Cola. This, in essence, is what my blog will be. One part rambling, one part my observations on things, one part news, as well as a well-documented account of those times that, "I saw it first."

Now, if you'll pardon me, "Excuse me while I whip this out."
