Toy Story: Star Wars – The Fett Legacy

Monday, November 16th, 2009

I have been going in hardbody on mty action figure steez ever since the TJX family of retailers has been coming up on them. I’m not too fond of the latest generations of Star Wars and G.I.Joe figures because of their pune design but when I saw this three pack called ‘Star Wars Evolutions: The Fett Legacy’ I had to copp.

Boba Fett was only like most prA’li the second most badass guy in the universe. How many other people were unafraid to give Darth Vader backtalk? Boba Fett was all like, “Captain Solo is worth a lot to me buddy.”. And then Vader told him he’d get his paper whether Solo lived the carbonization process or not. Fux it, I’m watching Ep.5 tonight.

Mattel also gives up Boba Fett’s dad, Jango Fett in the pack as well as this super badass Force legacy character named Mandalore the Indomitable. This dude is supposed to be character that all the Mandalorian bounty hunters sprung up from.

I admit that I don’t have the Force legacy shit down pat like that but I do know that the Fetts wear Mandalorian armor and you have to be extra hardbody to own that shit. It’s the equivalent of rocking a dookey rope walking around Albee Square Mall in 1985.

Mandalore and other Sith confederates

True Star Wars junkies like myself appreciate the attention to detail and articulation that these figures have. I just wish their scale was a bit larger. I saw several other legacy packs that featured characters from the days of the Old Republic. I might have to copp the Clone legacy pack if I see that joint floating around.

You already know I copped two(2) of the Fett legacy packs. Someone just needs to give me a reason to send it to them.

The Day The Music Died…

Monday, November 16th, 2009

bep

Why are these people being allowed to kill music? Forget the moonwalk conspiracy for a moment and focus on the reality that the Black Eye Peas are ruining any remaining credibility to Hip-Hop and to the delicious taste of black eyed peas!

*as an aside, you MUST use fatback if you are making hoppin-john*

Good gravy I watched these clowns on Saturday Night Live this past weekend and they blew my mind at how horrible they were as performers. They were simply a collection of bouncing buffoons repeating vapid single line nursery rhymes. I know they have sold tens of millions of records but that belabors the point that the world is filled with people no smarter than assmunch.

The fact that these fucks are listed in Wikipedia as a Hip-Hop band is the problem I am having. They are like Milli Vanilli without the suicide (yet, oh God please hear me). This chick Fergie is closer to being 50yrs old than she is to being 30. I’ve seen her hands and them shits look gnarled. Someone might say that is from her years as a hardcore drug abuser but I think its just the fact that she as old as fux and doesn’t take well to moisturization.

The person we really need to be saved from is Will.I.Am. He isn’t just complicit in ruining rap music as a fake Timbaland producer but he is ruining comicbook franchises too. His casting in the Wolverine movie was a sire spot for me this past summer. If you thought Wale or Kid Cudi were bad for Hip-Hop then you must recognize the Black Eyed peas as the anti-Christ. Who will save our Hip-Hop now that NaS is buying beats from Will.I.Am?

VitaminWater >>> Moon Water…

NASA’s little experiment to see if there is water on the moon has worked…

Water on the Moon Confirmed by NASA Crashes

Sweet.

Now tell me just exactly what all this other moonshit has been about for the previous 40 years? Dudes did walk on the moon right? And dudes did collect samples from the moon back then because that shit is in the Smithsonian? Because if they didn’t walk on the moon, and y’all bad guys killed JFK and Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. for no good gotdamn reason other than to put drugs in the community and undermine Black males I am going to be so not happy.

This is why I envy the white. Y’all NEVER have to concern yourselves with the greater global community for really real. You just have to stay in your lane and maintain the status quo. You know, pick up your dog’s feces and opt for paper instead of plastic. All the tough morality falls to the learned Blacks. Sure I know that no one wants to be the white that messes up supremacy and the privilege for future generations.

Who am I kidding anyhoo? Neither do I.

Forget this drop even occurred.

Nothing to see here.

Move along…

The cRapper Y’all Love To H8…

Friday, November 13th, 2009

wale

I can understand why people don’t fux with Kid Cudi because his themes are darker and more delusional. I can understand why people don’t follow Asher Roth on a larger scale either because his shelf life appears to be somehow similar to a loaf of white bread. But all the h8 that gets thrown towards Wale baffles me. What did he do to y’all? His Mixtape About Nothing was on my 2008 year end list at the top and I never like to qualify mixtapes but Wale’s joint was definetly some of the best music to drop in a long while.

The report cards from XXL mags 2008 Freshmen class aren’t all submitted yet and frankly, I’m not checking for Ace Hood’s debut disk either, but between Asher Roth, Kid Cudi and now Wale’s debut ‘Attention Deficit’ I think you have a clear view of rap music for the next decade. Wale has created his own lane along with Cudi by not just pushing forth lyrics but also re-introducing go-go and afrobeat music to Hip-Hop. I think it works because Wale’s flow is a unique stop and go staccato.

Wale isn’t into over-rhyming like, say a Talib Kweli might on a track that featured a Fela Kuti sample. He’s in control and clearly thoughtful of how he wants his lyrics to be received. My only complaint for this debut album is that there isn’t enough of Wale in here. All the ideas he expressed on the Mixtape About Nothing are diluted by the number of guest features on this album. I feel like this project became a Mark Ronson disk highlighted by some Wale tracks. The album is still dope though and the tracks that I love are really, rwally good.

Triumph is the type of song that I would make Wale wear a ‘Coming To America’ lionhead sash in the music video for. 90210 is definitely that ‘Ye Tudda track. It makes me want to sniff some yayze and play Super Nintendo for 36 str8 hours. Prescription is a listen to the boastful Wale persona at his lyrical best. Wale is clearly the most talented rhymesayer from the XXL freshmen ’08 class. Let’s see what he does as a sophomore before we randmly h8 on dude.

OSIRIS LIVES… (O.D.B. R.I.P. ReMix)

Friday, November 13th, 2009

osiris

Editor’s Note: This post was originally issued as an e-mail blast after the tragic death of RUSSELL T. JONES a/k/a OL’ DIRTY BASTARD. The WU-TANG Collective gathers at the Hammerstein Ballroom in N.Y.C. to celebrate the life and legacy of O.D.B. on February 14, 2006. Peace to OL’ DIRTY. Peace to the WU.

I never got a chance to really open up and show my love to BIG BABY JESUS(OL’ DIRTY). Next to GHOSTFACE, I felt the soundtrack to his life the most. There is so much mental energy that we Black men exert on an everyday basis just to keep from going crazy. The socio-political-economic system that we live under acts like water running down a drain and we struggle daily not to go under. Not that anyone out here has it particularly easy(white included) because when your taxes aren’t paid on time, Uncle Sam will come to your door to get his regardless of your last name. Your last name only determines if he will ring the doorbell or kick in the door.

I should pra’li give thanks to the WU real quick also. The WU-TANG clan illustrated the diaspora that is the Black Man. The members were individually talented and collectively invincible. Not since PUBLIC ENEMY has there been a group as diversely and intelligently orchestrated. Each member of the clan used their particular style to imprint and transform rap music. The term ‘ice’ belonged to the WU. If you don’t believe me please go copp RAEKWON’s ultra-classic first album also featuring GHOSTFACE KILLAH.

Without the WU-TANG CLAN who could we look for to express Black male unity? The 1980’s wannabe crack dealing reminscent DIPLOMATS? STATE PROPERTY? Isn’t ‘State Property’ the term used for incarcerated slave labor?!? The Gay Unit, oops, I meant to say G-UNIT.

Well all I got to say is one thing to say. ‘Shimmy Shimmy Y’all’. WU-TANG FOREVER!
