  • VH-1 Hip Hop Honors ‘07

    This year, VH-1 gives honors to Snoop Dogg, Missy Elliot, and A Tribe Called Quest. Two of those things is not like the other. I guess in order to get ATCQ honored, we have to sit through Snoop and Missy. Oh well, it’s worth it. Tracy Morgan is hosting. I wonder if he’ll dress up like Hustle Man, like when he was on Martin.

    • Does KRS-One really go by KRS-One Tha Teacha now?
    • I wonder is Missy Elliot is going to show up in that rubber balloon suit tonight? I can’t stand the rain, rain, rain.
    • Wait, they’re honoring Whodini and New Jack swing too? Does that mean we get some Teddy Riley up in here?
    • Isn’t Kerry Washington supposed to be blind? Wait, that’s just in Fantastic Four.
    • Missy says that she met Timbaland through Magoo. Can anyone throw Magoo a bone these days? Where is that dude?
    • At least we know Tweet is still alive.
    • Timbo decided to bring the guns to the gun show.
    • Eve and her hair decide to make an appearance. Wait, that’s probably not her hair.
    • Nelly Furtado and her ass decide to make an appearance.
    • Ciara and her Adam’s apple decide to make an appearance.
    • Is Diddy supposed to pronounce the H in homage?
    • Look at Waterbed Hev dancing in shorts.
    • I feel like a kid again listening to Guy.
    • Andre Harrell describes New Jack Swing as a merging of hip hop, R&B, and funk.
    • I wish I could be as cool as Doug E. Fresh.
    • Someone give T-Pain his synthesizer back. He needs it. He’s making me not want HER.
    • If Kool Moe Dee was this big when he rapped back in his day, they’d have called him Heavy Dee.
    • Ne-Yo is doing Remember The Time, which was produced by Teddy Riley and is new jack swing, but Eddie and Iman and her bird were nowhere to be found.
    • All I wanna do is zoom a zoom zoom zoom and a boom boom, just shake your rump. That might be the greatest lyric of all time.
    • Wait, is that Chauncey, who Kanye said was from Blackstreet and was as black as the street was? And if so, where’s Dave Hollister when you need him?
    • LL is out to talk about Wild Style and you know Timbo is in the back like, “My arms are bigger, and I can fit two microphones and a turntable on my arm.”
    • Rappers don’t age well, or at least you’re not used to seeing old men with shades on rockin’ the mic.
    • Well, except if you are KRS-One.
    • Grandmaster Caz just said, “Grandmaster Caz and Wild Style, greatest of all time.”
    • Who did Whodini piss off to have Nick Cannon, Nelly, and Don Chi Chi to represent them?
    • Pharrell seemed a little light in the ass to rap off Doggystyle compared to Ice T.
    • Common and Skateboard P actually did a great job with Scenario in setting up Busta Rhymes for his big spot, and the man just doesn’t have it anymore.
    • Tribe still has it. They need to put out an album immediately.

  • Snoop Redux – Chronic You Don’t Need

    Reports out of Cali are that Snoop has been busted…again.

    The charges? Weapons and narcotics…again.

    This time, Mr. Broadus allegedly had coke, pot and a gun.

    Burbank has been bad for the rapper. He was arrested there in October on weapon and narcotics charges. Filling out his trifecta was an arrest in the OC for attempting to bring a telescoping baton (yes, a weapon) on a plane at John Wayne Airport.

    There’s street cred, and then there’s just dumb cred. If Snoop doesn’t believe yet that every cop in SoCal has his picture on their dash, he’s in dreamland. In his case, we should refer back to the original meaning of the word “chronic” — as in “repeated”.

  • Snoop Busted

    Snoop Dogg, which is what he calls himself these days, was arrested over the weekend at Burbank Airport for weapon and drug posssession charges.

    Initial media reports said that the ground-breaking rapper originally was found to have a baton similar to the kind riot police and private security guards use, but that was actually an older incident at another airport, and Snoop was not charged.

    He was charged in Burbank, though, when police searched his car after he left it at the airport too long. Police reporting finding a gun and marijuana in the vehicle. Snoop has a long history of arrests and scrapes with the law — a self-destructive path that could eventually consume the 35 year old just like Jimi, Janis and so many others before him.

    Spinning In The CD Today:

    I’m still liking Death Cab for Cutie’s Plans, which still sounds fresh to me a year after its release. Ben Gibbard just doesn’t get the praise he deserves — critics yawn, the songs go nowhere on the charts and the band’s following is too small to influence either.
