This may be the greatest post created this year because it is teaching people that voting can actually be fun. If the AL GORE camp had ROBBIE instead of JAMES CARVILLE we might not be in this quagmire right now.
The “weed carrier” is the member of a “weed owning” celebrities’ entourage whose job is to take the fall in case the police apprehend said celebrity with contraband. In some cases the “carrier” becomes a “weed owner” themself, in which case they must find someone to carry their weed as they did previously.
This remarkably simple concept is brilliant because it essentially dissects the structure of heirarchy within the entertainment industry. I expect no less from the people at UNKUT.COM
My boy VIK over at BioChemical Slang wanted me to drop a kite about how everybody that didn’t make it to Radio City Music Hall for the ‘Roots and Friends’ benefit concerts were all humps, but y’all knew that already.
If you had never seen the Roots crew live it would have been an epiphany for you. For those of us that have seen them many, many, many times it was business as usual. I will veer away from all the other internets reviews by just issuing you some bullet points on both shows. OkayPlayer has more details about the evenings if you still feel like you need to read more about it.
1.] When I am in my 60’s the Roots will be performing at Caesar’s in Vegas, still tearing the roof off the motherfucker. Since I prah’lee won’t live that long I will go to see them every chance I get.
2.] ?UESTLOVE = genius, pure musical genius
3.] I don’t give BLACK THOUGHT too much credit because his flow doesn’t really transfer to studio produced LP’s, but this dude has a beautiful flow on stage and a beautiful mind. Your boy NAS forgot his own damn song and tried to tell ?UESTLOVE to bring the beat back to the beginning. ?UESTLOVE kept on time and BLACK THOUGHT started that nigga NAS song for him.
4.] NAS should prah’lee stop smoking weed since he dropped out of his songs so often, Either he was out of breath or he kept forgetting his rhymes. Let’s get it all in perspective lil’ homey…
5.] TALIB KWELI has shades of G-RAP in his delivery. It’s being too good for your own good. Either that or he spits with a lisp.
6.] COM SENSE = G.O.O.D. (no brokeback)
7.] BADU will be my generation’s LaBELLE
8.] Contrary to what some people say, white dudes are the most generous cats with their weed. They will always share a ‘j’ with you and it is usually some good shit. Blacks and Mexicans(Dominicans, P.R.’s, etc.) are the stingiest weed smokers on the planet. If you ask them for a hit they will look at you like you are a crackhead.
9.] DAVE CHAPPELLE is still the man.
10.] No BUSTA and no Q-TIP?!? After all JAY DEE did for A.T.C.Q. that was a stunning and profound silence not to see any of those brothers represent. Turns out that Q-TIP was in a NYC recording studio with black head pea producer WILL.I.AM. So I guess JONATHON goes from DILLA to WILLA.
The NBA season has arrived at its final four teams and lo and behold, Dallas is in the mix. This could be a banner year for everything named Dallas. TERRELL OWENS is in Irving, Texas. Reruns of LARRY HAGMAN, a young VICTORIA PRINCIPAL, and an even younger CHARLENE TILTON are in heavy rotation on T.V. Land. Most of all, yours truly is on a hemp smoothie diet. Get ready to hear the name DALLAS a lot this year.
I have been waiting a minute too for the Mavericks to get their shit together. It’s not like they haven’t had players. They were pretty decent when JASON KIDD, JIM JACKSON and JAMAL MASHBURN were their big three. The rumor about why they couldn’t get along was because JIMMY JACK stole TONI BRAXTON away from MASH.
I was down with the Mavs way before then. Back when they had ROLANDO BLACKMAN, DEREK HARPER, MARK AGUIRRE and my main stain ROY TARPLEY. They even had DETLEF SCHREMPF coming off the bench to give you that clutch white boy three point shooting. The Mavs could fill up a hole with the quickness(no B.B.). Them fools used to run and gun in their tight pants like nobody. The only problem was that the Western Conference of the 1980’s was pwned by the Lakers. The Mavericks could beat anybody in the league except for Showtime.
This year’s team is different from every other Dallas roster because they play some defense. Not a Detroit defense, but they don’t give away easy points or second shots and in the wild Western Conference that might as well be a Detroit defense. I also like the fact that this Dallas team kept alive the tradition of having a bunch of scorers whose names begin with ‘J’. JASON, JERRY and JOSH should be the reasons why the Suns set in the west.
And the Mavs have a selection of whores cheerleaders who have holes that need filling too.
There hasn’t been a female vocalist with the charisma or talent to match Mz. LaBELLE. The only chicks that could come close were down with her. PATTI LaBELLE, NONA HENDRYX, and SARA DASH formed the high octane, high octave superheroine trio called LaBELLE.
They were known for their outrageous stage presence and futuristic costumes. More than anything else though, it was their talent that made these chicks so hell’a fierce. These ladies could “sang” is what your grandma might say. My stoner aunt and uncle that loved Funkadelic were also big fans of LaBELLE also. The following YouTube has the sisters performing the classic ‘Lady Marmalade’. After you hear this jawn you can realize what a cheap bootleg that remake was.
A few years ago the ladies talked about doing a LaBELLE re-union tour. These ladies would be worth my money to listen to them blast out notes that chicks like CHEWLEESE and FURSHANTI could never imagine.
You have to peep this next clip too. PATTI sings my favorite breakup song ‘Isn’t It A Shame’. She gets real emotional about the whole thing.
I aint mad either that PATTI is a grandma that can still get my two minute tiger love.
