So, I nearly forgot to mention the Dave Chappelle show's "Lost Episodes"... How could that be? Is it possible that Dave buried these episodes because they were so stupid that he didn't want anyone to see them?
I'm not saying that the lost episodes suck. But I could say that and stand by my statement with ease. Whether you chuckled a few times or only hunched your shoulders, these episodes are not a good look for Dave. Now that I see them, I don't blame him for not returning. Most of these skits would be better in the deleted scenes section of the third season DVD. Since I'm on my way to a lovely getaway, I'm just gonna open the floor for people to share their disappointment in Chappelle's lost episodes. Or maybe you're not disappointed. I honestly haven't seen everything yet, but I heard that the DVD of the lost episodes hit stores today. So, wait. Let me get this straight, the shit I saw on TV so far is the best of the lost episodes? That is supposed to leave me wanting more?
The funniest sketch I've seen is the MTV Cribs one and there was one on the first episode that I liked. The whole sketch about going Hollywood was pretty funny. Oh, when he was getting revenge on people from his past. That was pretty funny to me.
WHOOOOO!!! Yeah, what he said.. And you look like a drag queen! I'm loving Meth more than ever right now. Not because of this video. He was disrespectful to Wendy but she deserved it. I listened to a long interview with Meth and he talked about the industry- not much on his wife, but he mentioned she was sick. He talked about the fact that he was just greatful that Def Jam let him put out another album. He really came across as a humble dude. He also sounded like he had hit a rough moment when his wife was sick and that he reached out to people that he used to give to and no one was there to give back. I don't know, but it sounds like Meth's been through a lot. It also sounds like he's there for his wife- despite any mess he undoubtedly has put her through up to this point.
A blogger on XXL mentioned that she heard a Meth interview and he sounded like hip hop had broken his heart. Yo, we must have heard the same interview because he sounded just like that. Sad. He was pissed at the media, "editors" "music critics" or whatever, for dissing his last album and talking bad about him in general. He was like, maybe while they think I've gone Hollywood or fallen off, I've been taking my wife to chemo. He was also saying that writers need to be prepared to face consequences for the bad things that they say in writing. Hold up now, Meth (with your sexy ass)! If you don't want chickenheads beating you up in the street for the shit you talk in the recording booth, I need you to fall back on coming after writers who diss you. The point is that music writers are the biggest fans. Yes, many are too judgemental but that's their job. It's to entertain readers and criticize music.
He felt that kids take reviews in magazines so seriously that they don't go out and get the album if XXL or Vibe or someone disses it. But that's bullshit. We'll cop the bootleg if it gets a bad review.. duh! So, I don't know...Other than that though, I understand what my baby is saying. He's just really reading these so-called hip-hop mags and taking their comments to heart. He said something like, if I listened to those critics I would think that my career was over. But he said that when he hits the streets and meets fans, they're saying something totally different. Meth definitely comes across as someone who's pondering life and sizing up his music career.
OH! He talked about one journalist like he better not see him in the street. He basically called the Meth and Red show a minstrel show. Meth agreed that they show was nothing like what they expected. He talked about crazy episode titles and said that he was actually offended by the garbage they wanted them to do. So, he knew it was wack but felt like the writer didn't have to take it to the extreme with the name calling. Wish I could remember what he called them.
One of the most powerful men in the world said "shit" while talking to his best buddy and the international media giggled like schoolkids reporting it over and over and over and over and over and over again.. Big deal. The bigger deal is that Bush thinks a phone call to Syria will clear this shit right on up. Then Syria's leader will call the "evil doers" and say, "Cut it out, Ahmed! Enough already. The Isrealis are getting upset."
If shit's that easy why doesn't Bush pick up the phone and holla at one of his handpicked leaders in Iraq. Maybe we could save some American lives. Why doesn't Bush pick up the phone and ask Isreal to ease up so that we can get Labanese civilians out of the way? I love how I said "we" like I'm part of some peace keeping mission or the military even.
What's funny about this is how ABC news reported EVERYTHING they heard. Like, "the president told the waiter he wanted a Diet Coke. In related news, I'm worried about Charlie Gibson. The old dude who just left Good Morning America for World News Tonight or something. Now they have him in Beirut... I'd like for him to be safe at a desk. He's proven that he can get the job done- why go back into harms way? I know he had to wake up early and all, but I'd rather eat Emerald's crabcakes and fancy burgers than report from a war zone. Dude's way old to be dodging debris.
What I really need to know is when gas prices are going back down. And don't try to turn this Lebanon shit into an issue that's effecting the price at the pump. I'll walk down to the Capitol and get arrested immediately.. but I'll have the intent to really make a fuss. I'll write on trees.. put cat poop on the lawn. I'll bring a whole bus load of bums and drop them off at the exit when sentors come out so that they can bug them for change and shit. I keep it gangster!
Why does it feel like the core of the Earth outside? I feel like someone's holding a magnifying glass over my head when I'm in the sun. I tried to go shopping yesterday at an outdoor flea market - I nearly melted.
Also, I think this heat is driving people crazy. On Friday night a cab driver tried to molester me! I made the mistake of sitting in the front seat and after I paid my money, he pulled me to him and kissed me on my cheek. [Hold up...Okay, I'm back. I thought I was going to throw up.] Man, his lips were on me! And his mouth wasn't closed either.. [uh oh, there goes my lunch.] Enough about that. I think the moral of the story is always ride in the backseat of a cab. I was in the front because two drunk boys were in the back and they would have surely molested me back there. They even demanded that I come to the backseat at one point. Then one apologized as he was leaving the cab, saying that he's sorry he didn't get to make out with me. EEEEWWW!!! So, clearly this heat is turning people's brains into mush. When you add alcohol it seems to liquify the mush.
More serious than drunken Georgetown boys and creepy cab drivers that should be deported, the heat has driven Israeli leaders mad. They started bombing and destroying Lebanon because two of their soldiers are being held hostage by a militia group that isn't even controlled by the goverment. Now, I don't want to be mean, but is it really that serious? Someone send them back their troops (in one piece) before they drop the A-bomb. When our troops get decapitated and burned and kidnapped, the U.S. military barely calls their family members. I'd say the heat has made them more irritable and trigger happy than usual.
Um, so I'm watching DMX's new reality show. Wow.. I KNEW he was crazy, maybe a bit bipolar. But someone please explain what he was doing in that convenience store. Was he or was he not doing the crackhead shuffle? I think he was. Then he broke eggs and beat them, who does that? He bought a whole basket of Bazooka gum, took the basket. Then he flaked and left Swizz Beatz waiting in the studio, with several others who were not making Swizz money for their time.
He's preparing to go back to jail for 40 days over a traffic violation. That's some bullshit. They showed various sides of X. He's a loving father, although unpredictable. He has this father/son relationship with a neighbor in Arizona. The neighbor is an older white man who plays the father role and tries to talk sense into X and seems to genuinely be concerned about dude. Oh, and X prays a lot. He and wifey are a spiritual duo. Also, X showed extreme patience when two young girls on horses said he sounds like Ja Rule. They were great, but the editing was bad.
On next week's episode X comes out of jail. That should be great.
Before DMX, BET debuted Keyshia Cole's reality show. I'd say that was a better but not by much. Honestly, I don't know if I'll watch DMX again, but I'd probably watch Keyshia Cole. She seems a little unpredictable. X just seems crazy. Begging people to let him drive when the whole world knows he's really bad at driving. Anyway, Keyshia's show was solid. This episode was all about showing where she's from. The best part was when she went into a local radio station and tried to answer rumors that a female radio personality was spreading. Then she said that if her family runs into said personality in the street she can't help her. DMX didn't really threaten anyone, except for midgets. He promised that he'd fuck any midget up. Or anyone of any size actually.
Unfortunately they weren't militant or toasty.. A DC police commander was reassigned this week after he gave a speech to Georgetown residents about a recent murder. The DC police have declared a crime emergency in the district because there have been 13 homicides this year and robberies are up.. here's what dude said to the residents that made his boss react:
"I would think that at 2 o'clock in the morning on the streets of Georgetown, a group of three people, one of whom is 15 years old, one of whom is a bald chunky fat guy, are going to stand out," said Solberg, who is white. "They were black. This is not a racial thing to say that black people are unusual in Georgetown. This is a fact of life."
So we don't want to take this out of context, the Washington Post says that when he made these remarks that he was telling the residents of the area to report suspicious looking people.. then described them as fat, 15 years old and black.. hmmm
Want to know what I think? He's right black folks don't hang in Georgetown in large numbers. I go there and don't appreciate being labeled as the type who would slice someone's throat for virtually no reason, like these three people have been accused of doing. Maybe I'll shop in Pentagon City until this is over.. besides people are dying in Georgetown.
I read this article yesterday and it just really bothered me.
In a nutshell these college football players have been charged with raping an 11-year-old girl. She's a kinda troubled girl it seems, because she ran away from her group home to visit an acquaintance on a Saturday night. Running away is bad and group home connotes "troubled." It seems that this acquaintance introduced her to these other guys who live in the complex. There are two guys, ages 20 and 19, who have already been arrested, but seven more have come forward. They seven are all teammates at Fresno College and say that the girl is tall and looked "mature," but she did seem young when she talked. Now, I know kids grow up fast. I know girls aren't what they used to be. But I also happen to know some 11-year-old kids. At best, I think this 11-yr-old could have appeared to be 15 or 16. They told police that she appeared to be 18 or 19! She lives in a group home. I'm no expert, but these group home kids aren't at the mall buying Mac makeup and rocking the hottest clothes. I imagine you can get right with Wet & Wild products from CVS, but come on! They can't even front like they thought she was legal. You can't just have sex with children- unless you're U.S. military serving in Iraq (or another developing nation). And even then, there's a chance you'll get caught and have to face some consequences.
Is 'Colored' Offensive to African Americans? Monster member KimG721 posts: I used the word 'colored' to an African American coworker, and she didn't seem offended at the time. But three months later when she resigned, she accused me of being racist. I couldn't believe it. I was brought up by my grandmother, and that is a term she used. Come to find out the coworker is from the South -- Mississippi. But Oprah is from there and used that term. I don't understand!
Are you serious? I don’t care if you were raised by your grandmother, how many other people have you been in contact with since then? Are they all using the term “colored”, because I don’t seem to hear it. You seriously didn’t know that your grandmother is out-of-date? C’mon. Oh, and if Oprah says it, then it’s perfectly okay for you to use it in another context?
