It was almost a year ago that we got a preview of what the Joell Ortiz and Novel collabos might sound like. In this video inside the studio with Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, Statik Selektah and Mike Heron we got a verse off the track ‘Call Me’.
Fast forward from this video to November 2009 and Joell Ortiz is wrapping up the longest stretch of touring he has done in his career. From the Rock The Bells dates to a piggyback tour with Tech N9ne Joell Ortiz and his SlaughterHouse brothers stayed on the road for months. During that time Joell would lose his grandmother, and learn how the road could leave you ragged. Now that he is back home in Brooklyn Joell can focus again on his own music. It’s time to push the projects that were on hold while the SlaughterHouse project was doing what it do.
One of those projects is the EP of collabos with Novel. Joell and Novel are both great songwriters that can really describe the emotions of millions of listeners with their true story reflections. The track ‘Stand Up’ is both emotional and uplifting and features Joell Ortiz and Novel at their best.
Joell Ortiz featuring Novel – ‘Stand Up’
The video shoot I went to on Sunday was for the soulfilled song titled ‘Call Me’. Everyone knew this song was a hit after hearing the first J.O. verse. Joell returns lyricism and storytelling back into rap music. It doesn’t hurt to have a mean ass beat either. Novel killed the production with the Al Green sample. This is one of the best rap songs from 2009. It kind of reminds me of some shit that LL Cool J would put on his albums. There aren’t too many songs in rap that you can bump among all age groups without playing something insanely childish. This song brings some sensibility back to rap.
Joell Ortiz featuring Novel – ‘Call Me’
The ‘Call Me’ video is being directed by longtime Joell Ortiz imagemaker Rik Cordero. Rik transports us back to Joell’s high school days with the storyline of unrequited love. The shoot was fun and incredibly efficient considering there were three locations used altogether. I recall being on video shoots that lasted over eight hours in just one location. We see a young Joell Ortiz and then later a grownup Joell along with Novel, who flew in just for the video. I can’t wait for the finished product. This is going to be one of your favorite music videos of 2010.

shorty in the purple might could get it – the fire orange horse-hair weave and the punk rock cum cindy crawford piercing-where-a-mole-should-be are saying “come hither” to the don – i would back-brace her
joell looks like an overweight cam’ron in the illustration…someone say word.
Give them titties 5 thumbs up (.y.)
“The punk rock cum cindy crawford piercing-where-a-mole-should-be are saying “come hither””
That tells me:
“Enter at your own risk. This piercing is really metallic herpes”
If not for those titties, i’d swear that bitch was the Grimace…
This “Call Me” track is sickness…
Listen maaaaan, shorty had body karate. No way in the world you could take that down. She had her pimp with her too in case the gaffers tried to put they best grip on her..
^Ronald McDonald’s a pimp now? Damn. I knew the economy was in rough shape, but…
YO!!! I don’t know what you cats are talkin about; I didn’t even make it up to her face b/c those breastasses were sending me messages. I sees some nippage showing. ME LIKEY!!!
For real though, that Call Me joint is bananas. Joell is dope.
lol@the kid in the background drooling for the nips under the purple. Yowaaa!
I sees some nippage showing. ME LIKEY!!!
^
This.
She looks not so much like she “could” suck an 8-ball thru a straw, but more like she “has” sucked an 8-ball thru a straw.

I’m glad I’m not the only perv on nipple watch. I stay on nipple watch. I swear, I can’t see a nice set on utters on a chick without going all xray vision. I don’t think women realize, erect nipples overshadow mad things. Except smell. Fux a stinky broad.
Novel looks like Ludacris’ younger brother.
Fux a stinky broad.
^
Not braggin’ – just simply the truth.
We all from the ghetto –
Only difference? We go back.
Back up in D&D on this Primo track.
yo a stinky broad is evolution’s way of saying: GO THATAWAY.
but some dudes is too bummy and go in anyway, only to suffer greatly.

tyler perry dropped 13 mills to make this shitpile of a film and ended up grossing 50 mills. that’s a 37 million dollar profit. HE CAN DO BAD ALL BY HISSELF! there is no rapper with 37 million in the bank – again, jay and MAYBE kanye. oh and this is just one of his projects – he’s apparently worth hundreds of mills, conservative estimate. cross-dressing gay black male writers/entertainers stay winning!
Yo bananas are so good. Pause?
“Listen maaaaan, shorty had body karate. No way in the world you could take that down. She had her pimp with her too in case the gaffers tried to put they best grip on her.. ”
mwhahahahahahahha at that comment. that chicks boobs one looks bigger that the other. nipple could cut glass though so i guess that is the trade off.
also i forgot YOWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! joell and novel doing some good things.
Y’all ever peep Midge, Donna Pinciotti’s mom on ‘That 70’s Show’? Her nipples stay ready. Old episodes of ‘Married With Children’, before Seven, Kelly cesticles stayed areola’d up, too. I swear they must’ve kept the AC on during taping. Ed O’Neil seems like the pervert-type dude to do that shit on purpose. Make the hugs more interesting. Damn shame Christina Applegate had to cut them pieces off.
*chesticles…
grands when i was watching married with children i was thinking why al was so against fucking peg. also as the show got older she gained weight but those tittes got bigger. i never noticed midge and what happened to christina that she had to cut her boobs off. oh duh must have breast cancer shit she got money she good get herself a high b cup.
^Yeah, breast cancer. She was on Oprah Windbag talking about it a few months back.
Al was crazy. I’da been all over Peg, climbing that mountain after I washed foot stank off of me.
Peep. Midge. Trust.
Nat-
But, I feel Al on being mean to Peg for no reason. I been married 7 years. I do the same shit. That shit becomes a sport! Ha! But, I never deny the loving. Fux that shit! I earned it…
yeah but i was younger when that shit was on i was like yeah she a pain in the ass but she look good. if she going take what little money i earn i will make her ass work for every dollar. grands did she get some implants or she just a boy up top now.
^She said she only had the cancer in one, but decided to do a full masectomy. But Oprah had some experts on the show talking about the new plastic surgeries they can do know, so she might be implanted up my now.
married with chilluns was classic
@ Slumbillical: She DOES look like she’s has sucked and 8-ball through a straw…and I think that’s why I’m in love with her! LOL!
@ T. Grands: I’m glad I’m not the only perv on nipple watch. I stay on nipple watch. I swear, I can’t see a nice set on utters on a chick without going all xray vision. I don’t think women realize, erect nipples overshadow mad things. Except smell. Fux a stinky broad.

What more can be said? I have a coworker who I’m mad-cool with, but, on a scale from 1 to 10, she’s a 93…on a bad hair day. Even if she had a peg-leg, she’d still be in the upper 70s. She has one of the nicest set of cans, and I swear, all of her shirts and bras must thin out around the nips. I’ve told her several times, “_____….forgive me if I stare or am not making eye-contact; it’s completely reflexive, and as much as I try, I can not NOT look.” I’m glad that she’s mad-sweet, and kinda almost sees it as a compliment. Otherwise, I might be receiving a pink-slip for Sachamo harrassment.
Thanks for the shirt and book Dallas!!
