ALBUM OF THE MONTH
MR. SCARFACE: MR. SCARFACE IS BACK (RAP-A-LOT RECORDS, 1991)
It's a crime so many Top 10 MC lists don't include Scarface. Even more, so many Top 20 rap LP lists don't include this one. This album is HARD! The beats are so gutter, and Face is goin the fuck off. "The Pimp" oozes with mysogyny, but it's the greatest rap love song ever. All the beats sound like a Blaxploitation soundtrack and word has it it was recorded in Rap-A-Lot Records' owner Lil' J's pool room. Basement gutter independent rap. And nooooooo guest appearances! "Body Snatchers", "Mr. Scarface", "Your Ass Got Took", "Born Killer", "Money & Power"...if you are a rap fan and don't own this, don't you ever say shit to me til you do. Rap-A-Lot Records early 90's independent low budget, crass, loud, ign'ant, raw rap. How it should be done. SALUTE!!!!!
OL SCHOOL BROAD OF THE MONTH
DOWNTOWN JULIE BROWN FROM CLUB MTV
You had to be a late 80's/early 90's kid to know this chick. I was lookin at an old MTV Raps tape from 1990, where I let the VCR run too long. Club MTV came on after MTV Raps, and this broad was the host. Brittish accent and all, this chick could get it all day long. Where she at?!
NBA TRA$H TALK...FROM THE LIGHT SKINNED STEVEN A. SMITH OF THE RAP GAME, CAPTAIN BACK$LAP!!!!!
After I thrashed the Knicks last week, you know I'd be armed for a follow up. I will never let up til that team is completely revamped. I will shit on em all year round, without mercy. I will choke any little kid in a current Knick player jersey. I was ecstatic watchin' Gilbert Arenas torch em for 46 points last week as the Wizards crushed em. Then, the Spurs smashed em on Monday. The rush I get to see these clowns on the bench all embarassed. Unbeatable. And now Quentin Richardson wants to kill Stephon "I'm the best point guard in the NBA" Marbury in the locker room. The Coney Island Kid almost met the Chi Town cyclone. I'd pay the price
of a Knick game ticket to watch Q bust his ass. As a former Marbury fan, he lost it all with me when he said that dumb ass "I'm the best point guard" statement then proceeded to get lit the fuck up by Jason Kidd the next day. And the Knicks been in the basement ever since. Isiah, Steph...thanks for nothin'.
Oh, and I know y'all ain't think I was gonna skimp on All-Star Weekend commentary. Overall it was eeh, but I must comment on the dunk contest. Nate DEFINITELY did his thing, which is good cause being a Knick will make you wanna off ya self. The Spudd dunk was classic, BUT...on the real, Andre Igoudala got ROBBED!!!!!!!! He deserved to win that shit. That behind the backboard dunk was the craziest shit I've seen in a minute. Not to mention, Nate missed like 14 dunks. Don't get me wrong, Nate is the truth, but he really won cause of his size. If he was even 6 feet, there'd be no discussion.
Being Golden State is slippin, my new fun to watch team of the moment (besides Milwaukee) is Chicago. Gordon, Hinrich, Deng and Duhon always get play on my TV set. They may not make the playoffs, but they gonna ge a nice team if they
can stay together and dump Tyson Chandler.
And as much as I used to dis him. Vince Carter is BEASTIN!!!! Man, this dude...I can't believe I'm New Yorker and I only check for Net games now. Vinsanity is in the house as of late...and the Knicks are in the projects.
