  • Not Necessarily The News – 50 Cent, LL Cool J, And DMX

    After the Chris Brown and Rihanna situation went down before the Grammys, I decided to stay away from making fun of the music news. That situation was way too real.

    But, there’s other stuff to joke about now.

    50 Cent Gets Pushed Back Again
    The original release date for 50 Cent’s Before I Self Destruct was in early February. Obviously, that time has passed. And now, 50 Cent is getting pushed back again. The reason? Well, because Dr. Dre’s heavy hitter, Eminem’s album is coming out first.

    Right now I’m on the train and the Em choo-choo car goes first.

    You have to admit, that’s probably the right move. But let’s hope 50’s album doesn’t “self destruct” before it ever comes out.

    DMX Loses A Food Fight
    Can you feel bad for Earl “DMX” Simmons these days? Highly unlikely. Already serving a 90-day sentence, DMX allegedly threw a tray of food at a detention officer. According to the story, DMX didn’t want to eat his nutra-loaf and decided to try and take another meal that wasn’t his. When called on it, he supposedly threw the tray of food at the officer. It’s possible that this episode can add more time to his stay.

    Uncle L Gets Another Shot At TV
    And here I thought when it came to television, he’d only be known as Marion Hill in In The House. That show is very memorable, but mostly because the fine Maia Campbell was in it. It looks like Uncle L, the future of the funk, is going to be on NCIS: Legend, which is a spin-off of the show NCIS, which is a show that I’ve never seen. Good for LL because maybe it will keep him away from the mic. Exit 13 was no-kay.

    Before I leave you, I can’t believe the kid who did one of the worst renditions of Michael Jackson’s Man In The Mirror that I’ve ever heard made it to the final 12 of American Idol. Yep, I’ll be back when we get down to the final 12 to break it down.

  • Friday Throwback – Step By Step

    I’m not ashamed to say that I’m a New Kids On The Block fan. Ok, maybe just a little bit ashamed. But still, having a younger sister in the late 80s-early 90s meant that you either hated the New Kids vociferously, or that you let the catchy music embed itself in your ears. And the latter happened to me, though after their fall from their pop star perch. This is probably my favorite New Kids track of them all.

    • Holy cow, look at that hair!
    • I’m not too sure about Jordan trying to break dance with those superfly clothes.
    • Ok, the choreography on the stairs was pretty corny.
    • And what’s up with stealing New Edition’s dance moves?
    • Look at Donnie wearing the Public Enemy shirt.
    • I think I could get my hair like Jordan’s if I tried.
    • Is that what Danny did? Just lifted weights while everyone else was singing?
    • Did I hear a fiddle?
    • Step 1, we can have lots of fun …
    • A Marky Mark sighting!
  • Friday Throwback – Whatzupwitu

    Everyone knows Party All The Time right? Well, Eddie Murphy came back to the scene with an album in 1993. It was interesting because it had a pretty stellar cast at the time. He was able to get a ton of artists to sing one word on the song Yeah like MC Hammer, Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, and Janet and Michael Jackson. He had Shabba Ranks on lead single I Was A King which was terrible and then Michael Jackson again on Whatzupwitu, which was bad as well, but still fun at the same time.

    – Why is Ed in a wife beater? Probably to show off his new physique. Though I wasn’t really impressed with that double bicep shot.

    – I couldn’t really see Mike’s lipstick in black and white, but when the picture went color, bam, it hit me right in the face.

    – Why is Ed singing into Mike’s ear?

    – I actually like the song without the video, but the video is so bad that I’m starting to hate this song.

    – For the last half of that video I had so many things to say, but my fingers just couldn’t type them.

    If I see Ed and Mike in the same room again, I’d ask them, “Whatzupwitu?”
