The REAL Sarah Palin on SNL
Sarah Palin’s appearance on Saturday Night Live has been the talk of the weekend. She didn’t say much, but the skits were hilarious. The Weekend News Update was the highlight of the night. When the moose came out, I just about lost it. Poor moose.
For my hip-hop audience: Did the beat in the background sound familiar? It was altered some, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t going crazy. I’ll give $10 in Monopoly money to the first person who guesses it!
Attention Hip Hoppers, Gold is Back!

If you know someone who brags about the bling around their neck and wrist, tell them to go home with all that noise. The days of Mr. T, Slick Rick, Run DMC and Salt N Pepa are back! Gold is king once again, so if you still have your dookie rope chain from the ’80s you might need to break it out or sell it (if it’s real).
T-Baby It’s So Cold in the D
Filed under: Blog Entries, Community, Laughable, Society & Culture
When I first heard this song on the radio, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. The Internet hit “It’s So Cold In the D” by T-Baby was being played on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show and they were digging it (actually laughing at it). Of course when you’re on the radio you have to bleep out every cuss word so it sounded like someone was checking out groceries at the store. I have to admit I laughed hard that day and every other time they played it, but there’s a real story behind the song.
This morning Rickey and the Nutz were talking with T-Baby on the phone. She wrote the song after her friend was killed and it was her way of expressing how cold-hearted people the world can be. When a love one dies, people tend to have different ways of expressing their grief/frustration. T-Baby chose to make a video about life in the hood of Detroit and I can respect that. This is what hip hop is about. It’s all about expression and this song gives us some insight to what’s going on in her life.
Here is the video. If you are offended by cussin’, you might not want to watch this. The flow could be a lot better and the video is poorly done, but it is what it is. And be careful, it’s very catchy so if you listen to it too much you’ll be singing it all day. Enjoy.
Chris Rock HBO Special This Weekend
Filed under: Blog Entries, Entertainment & Sports, Laughable, Politics
On Saturday, September 27th at 9pm Eastern, I will be watching Chris Rock’s HBO Comedy event Kill The Messenger. As most of you may know, when it comes to political humor, he along with D.L. Hughley are in my opinion the best out there. They say what’s on their mind and don’t care about what anyone things. And most of the time they are right on the money. One of my favorite movies, Head of the State, showed what could happen if a black man ran for president. Who would have thought it would actually happen a couple of years later.
The comedy series is unique in that it will be one show based on his performances in South Africa, London and New York. It looks like we’ll be in for a good time. For more information check out the HBO website.
Palin Parody on SNL
Filed under: Blog Entries, Laughable, My Thoughts, Politics
For those who didn’t get to see the entire parody on Saturday Night Live, here it is. I’ve been a fan ever since Eddie Murphy was a cast member and they’ve made many careers in the time it’s been on the air.
I thought it was really funny. You have to know Hillary is thinking the same thing. I’ve always thought choosing her as VP was McCain’s way of getting back at the Dems. I guess he felt he had nothing to lose. and it does make for an interesting election. Something to definitely tell the kids.
Drank Beverage Drink?! REALLY?!
Filed under: Blog Entries, Laughable, Society & Culture
Today as I cruised the mean streets of H-town, I came across a new drink called…”Drank”. Surprisingly, this isn’t a joke. It’s billed as a “relaxation” drink on the opposite end of the spectrum from the coffees, waters, and energy drinks everyone else is peddling. I’ve never been one to knock anyone else’s hustle, but advertising is some of the most ridiculous collection of garbage I’ve ever seen.
The drink is produced by Innovative Beverage Group who incorporate such messages as “Slow Your Roll with Drank” and even a mock warning label that cautions “This beverage…may cause one to lean”. I initially felt insulted then I recalled a scene from Spike Lee’s Bamboozled where the movie spoofs such drinks with an advertisement from “Da Bomb malt liquor”.
Unfortunately, such questionable concoctions targeted towards the African-American community have been around for years going as far back as Schlitz malt liquor ( a cartoon bull chasing Black folks around a picnic?!) all the way to Lil’ Jon’s Crunk Juice in more recent years. And how could we forget Nate Dogg singing the gospel about St. Ide’s.
I realized that there’s no reason for me to feel embarrassed because I don’t perpetuate or represent these stereotypes. As long as there’s someone to buy it I doubt that these “drinks” will ever go away. If anything, I’m probably doing more to promote “Drank” than detract from it. It speaks to a bigger ill for our whole society that if we put the appropriate makeup on any old pig then the appropriate consumer will buy it. Drink Crunk Juice to get you going, Diet Coke to keep you going, and Drank to calm you down. Maybe Chingy will come out with a new line of pacemakers to help regulate your heartrate after years of taking in liquid uppers and downers.
Presidential Flashback – August 2000
Filed under: Blog Entries, Laughable, Politics, Society & Culture
Now that all of the candidate’s speeches are over, I’d like to take you back in time. The day is August 3rd in the year 2000 and we’re at the Republican National Convention. A younger, spunkier Gov. George W. Bush is at the podium giving his acceptance speech for the Republican nomination for the President of the United States of America.
As a teaser, I wanted to share with you a clip highlighting the hypocrisy I eluded to in my post yesterday. As we come up on the last eight years of Bush’s term I ask that you take the time to read the full speech. It’s interesting to see how history actually played out and play close attention to the promises he delivered on.
Governor Bush delivers remarks at the Republican National Convention
Mr. Chairman…
(APPLAUSE)
Mr. Chairman… (APPLAUSE)
Thank you all.
(APPLAUSE)
Thank you very much. Thank you.
(APPLAUSE)
Mr. Chairman — Mr. Chairman, delegates and my fellow citizens, I proudly accept your nomination.
(APPLAUSE)
Thank you. Thank you for this honor.
(APPLAUSE)
Thank you for this honor. Together, we will renew America’s purpose.
Our founders first defined that purpose here in Philadelphia. Ben Franklin was here, Thomas Jefferson and, of course, George Washington, or, as his friends, called him, George W.
I am proud to have Dick Cheney by my side.
He is a man — he is a man of integrity and sound judgment who has proven that public service can be noble service.
American will be proud to have a leader of such character to succeed Al Gore as vice president of the United States.
I’m grateful for Senator John McCain. I appreciate so very much his speech two nights ago. I appreciate his friendship. I love his spirit for America. And I want to thank the other candidates who sought this office, as well. Their convictions have strengthened our party.
The Sarah Palin Gender Card
Here is a video clip about the Sarah Palin Gender Card from The Daily Show with John Stewart. Last night the Bulldog with Lipstick took the gloves off and proved herself ready for the fight.
Ding, Ding! Round 1.
Hilarious! Thanks JG.
