Making Cents From The Senseless…

rick fox

Today’s drop is sponsored (but not really) by Victoria’s Secrets steel underwire bras for men and women and Patron Reposada. The orange fuckin’ box.

What if Foxy Brown and Rick Ross hooking up is an arranged marriage by the t.I.’s at Universal Music Group? And why not? The t.I.’s realize that the game needs a female rapper to step up and get some shine. Foxy Brown could be a hot commodity with her provacative looks (read: really bulbous breats) and her street cred at an all time high. The only problem is that Foxy has become somewhat institutionalized. If she is free to roam in the public sector then he is likely to throw a brick at someone who crosses her. Real talk is that homegirl needs supervision.

Step in another one of UMG’s properties , er, artists, Rick Ross. His background as a correctional officer might just provide the stablility that Foxy Brown needs to complete her next album. The correctional system in Florida is one of the most hardbody detention systems here in America. They are a privately owned corporation that can legally beat kids to death. Rick Ross hopefully won’t have to do that to keep Foxy in line, but if he did, he would get off all charges.

Rick Ross might be mad at Trick Daddy for exposing him as an federal agant but Trick Daddy has been on the other end of that coin as well, literally the wrong end. Peep his history with Detroit’s Trick Trick. It makes sense to me that a syndicate of corporations that own stock in the prison industrial complex would consign their employees to portray characters that would ultimately drive business upwards by helping to maintain the flow of inmates. It’s the hustle of the flow.

“The number of women in prison, a third of whom are incarcerated for drug offenses, is increasing at nearly double the rate for men. – The Sentencing Project

I’m certainly not going to blame rap music for this shit either, but it isn’t helping solve the problem. America puts too many people in jail. Period. Of course, there are the unsociable motherfuckers more 7:30 than the Joker, but the overwhelming majority of inmates are being held for non-violent crimes. And most of that is related to narcotics in some way. Why else do we continue to build jails if they aren’t profitable? Gas prices continue to escalate and car manufacturers don’t stop building automobiles either. I always wondered if Sunoco or Shell owned stakes (stocks) in Daimler-Benz?

This is what I mean by making sense of the senseless. If profit is the motivating force of capitalism then who stands to gain the most at the end of the day. Those are the dudes that run this rap shit.

    With the glaring omission of “American Me” this list is suspect chin music, LOL. Thats the realest shit Hollywood ever dropped that wasn’t a documentary. (Also “Blood In, Blood Out” which is basically the same story…)

    This however will never cause me waiver from my support of all things DP.com (or as they say around Dart’s way – Daht Cahm…

    PS – Dallas your multiple drops over the course of the work day is fantastic, and your e-work ethic is unflappable. Kudos.

    The Rock, was that movie with Niggerlas Cage.

    I wonder why Ross chose to deny his past?

    This nigga was just here in Va. on the radio, last week saying it wasn’t him.

    He could’ve flipped it and said that’s how he met all of his connects and that he was sneaking drugs into the prison and all the inmates loved him. (ll)

    That way he could have continued lying about being a kingpin. LOL!!

    We live in a sad world when a person would go all out to deny being an honest, hardworking citizen. But rather have the public believe that his is some type of Black Scarface.

    Negro Please!!!!!!

    By the way….. I willing to bet money that Jackie O was the one to expose all this shit.

    I heard an interview a couple of weeks ago where she was crying cuz a nigga down with wayne and Ross threatened to smack the shit out of her and she said she could have been exposed dem niggas…..

    @ Fatboy:
    “I heard an interview a couple of weeks ago where she was crying cuz a nigga down with wayne and Ross threatened to smack the shit out of her”

    -i think Brisco smacked the SHIT out of her with a wad of money… if I’m not mistaken. She’s a wangster anyway. I support that jackie-o theory.

    “He could’ve flipped it and said that’s how he met all of his connects and that he was sneaking drugs into the prison and all the inmates loved him. (ll)”

    -it’s one thing if there’s a ton of speculation about how authentic a rapper’s content is in his music and them not having to worry about exposures, but when a faux nigga like that is under pressure trying not to dig a hole for himself, they tend to plea the 1-2-3-4-fif on some shaggy “it wasn’t me” shit. And i bet when he first got wind of the amount of proof surfacing up to all of hip hop he started to talk like porky pig stuttering and shit. That’s what happens when you’re caught with your pants down.

    @DP:
    -Told you… invest $ in prisons. they won’t stop building institutions, so you might as well get your gwap up.

    @ 40:
    “PS – Dallas your multiple drops over the course of the work day is fantastic, and your e-work ethic is unflappable. Kudos.”

    Werd, DP is definitely on his grind. Got to love/appreciate an intellectual guy like that. Keep it up D.

    Word to the cosignage about the DP work ethic. Always quality, too.

    As for Rick Ross, I mowed the yard the other day, sans shirt, for the first time evar….Inspiring. His music is wack, but at least he looked the other way when I was gunnin’ the female guards. Plus, I stayed treed up for the duration of my DOC vacation….Like a bowse!

    One of the gulliest and most slept on jail/Sci Fi flicks of all times is the 1994/5 classic No Escape. Ray Liotta and Ernie Hudson head the cast and if you haven’t seen it for whatever reason then please do so.

    My old school pick: Bad Boys
    90’s pick: Blood In, Blood Out: Bound Together By Honor
    00’s pick: Undisputed (not much to pick from)

    Sly Stallone pick: Lock Up

    One.

  6. Fidel Cashflow says:

    no top ten mention of American Me?

  7. Tony says:

    My favorite Latino jail flick – American Me . . . Damn Edward James Olmos is ugly (but talented) even on Battlestar Galactica, even in space.

    Awesome post Dallas.

  8. the_dallas says:

    Forgive my street cred for not citing Blood In, Blood Out amd especially American Me. Sheeeeit, I even forgot to mention Scared Straight.

    This is what happens to the Quality & Assurance at DP dot when a nigga ain’t getting no sleep.

    My ass will be on these internets until 4am tonite and then back to the paying grizzly at 8am.

    Hopefully I’ll have a heart attack or a stroke and then I can take a break.

    CheA!

  9. BEsmirched says:

    The Rock? I thought you are talking about Con Air…

  10. @Dart: Bad Boys is the shit. The soda in the pillowcase, the exploding radio…I could go on and on,,,

  11. One more: “Straight Time.” Dustin Hoffman– almost unrecognizable as THEE Dustin H– gets out of the joint and… has some trouble adjusting, let’s say.

    Pre-“war on drugs” horseshit but both the book (by real con, Edward Bunker) and the film dramatize the system well.

    Needless to say, things don’t necessarily go as planned–
