I just peeped this link to Questlove’s Celebrity Stories and I was transfixed for hours.
This also reminded me to pass y’all the link to the OKayPlayer Holiday Jam. Fill out the form and camp out in front of B.B.Kings with me on Wednesday nite.

Dr.Dre’s latest single from the near mythical proposed album ‘Detox’ is being met with mostly guffaws not at the music but at Dre’s choice of apparel. It’s not like he didn’t pioneer the extra-fitted double-breasted look twenty something years ago. Why switch your pitch if it can still get your plate out? Mangled baseball metaphor aside, the new single ‘Kush’ is a return to the formula that the Doctor has perfected.
Posse cuts?
Ghostwriters?!
Nate Dogg?!?
All of this is the chemistry that Dr.Dre mixes into his best music, along with the dopest drum tracks and piano riffs out the ass [ll]. You can act like you won’t fux with ‘Kush’, but if you leave your mom’s basement anytime in the next two weeks and find yourself in the club you best believe you will be bobbing your head to this track.
‘Kush’
‘Parental Discretion Iz Advised’
The bassline and masterful intro from the D.O.C. makes this track. D.O.C. even had enough verses in his rhymebook to make Dre sound nice with his. This shit still bangs hard after 20 years in the tapedeck. Are you peeping the piano plucks?
‘The Chronic’
This is emo rap in case any of y’all didn’t know. Dr.Dre rhymes about the breakup of his relationship [ll] with Eazy-E on top of a classic P-Funk bassline. Bernie Worrell inspired synth keys roll around in the background. Are you bobbing your head yet?
‘Still D.R.E.’
The drumkick is razor sharp. The synth bass is sublime. But above all the piano licks are supreme. And Jay’s pen is the frosting on top. Put this joint in rap’s top 100 all time tracks.
‘The Next Episode’
Hard. Body.
Dr.Dre’s jackets are still tight.
And so are his tracks.
‘Nuff said
Detox Is That Tron Legacy Rap…

Sometimes I hear a song on my laptop and I quickly dismiss it for basura. When I hear that same song again on a sound system it feels like I am hearing it for the first time. That is how this Dr.Dre track ‘Kush’ is blowing over me [ll]. Over the internets I gave it the KanYe shrug but in the club I was doing my two step.
The video seems like the song should have been included on the Tron Legacy soundtrack. Dr.Dre’s futuristic production is darker and more haunting than Timbaland’s lighthearted laserbeam logarhythms. And I ain’t mad at all.

One Hell Of A Muse…

You may imagine it might be physically impossible to do LESS than Kim Kardashian, but I think Amber Rose has one-upped her bodacious bootylicious counterpart. Both of these women are shaking what their mother’s gave them to secure a level of celebrity status normally reserved for, well, actual celebrities.
KanYe West – ‘Hell Of A Life’
Amber Rose was spotted in New York City driving a drop top Lambourghini Gallardo. This car costs somewhere in the range of 200 stacks. That’s $200,000 thousand for those that need the clarity. I’m not sure how you finance that kind of whip when your resume more than likely lists your occupation as ‘professional piece of poontang’.
Even in a slowed economy the value of poon seems to keep pace. I wonder if there are stock programs you can invest in for jumpoffs?
Amber’s celebrity is squarely based on her relationship with Kanye West. And the fact she has the perfect C-cup backside. This is what puts her on the guest list for exclusive red carpet events and apparently allows her to secure luxury car rentals.
Try and imagine what car she might be driving if her and Kanye were still an item. She’d be spotted on the streets parking a spaceship. Don’t bother pulling up to Amber Rose’s bumper with your long black limousine. She’s already got one of her own.
