The BeYONCE Factor Tries On HALLE BERRY

March 6th, 2006

In keeping up with the Academy award afterglo that all you folks from Memphis are surely enjoying I thought that we could pull out one of our old features to see if still has that familiar shine.

And speaking of film work… Mz. BeYONCE KNOWLES just got her feet wet as a top billed player in the latest of the Pink Panther series. I say that she got her feet wet in only the figurative sense, because the photos from the red carpet premiere looked like Mz. B’s feet may not have gotten any moisturization on that day.

Remind me to thank my cousin FRESH at C & D for that picture of BeYONCE’s flippers. Even the flyest chick on the planet can have one of those moments. How many of us haven’t lotioned our feet in years?!? O.K., well maybe just me.

You folks remember how the BeYONCE Factor works don’t you? It’s really simple and here’s a quick rewind of the format for all of you folks scoring from home or the office…

Jig, spic and priv celebs will be rated on a scale for how close their game comes to that of the pinnacle of all jiggaboo goddesses – BeYONCE. In parentheses are the factors that give each candidate a high or low score depending on how we at the website rate them. If a subject does exceptionally well with a factor then they will receive the full allotment of points (100).

1) Can you say her name – (the more‘Black’ sounding the name of the candidate, the higher the number of points)
2) Can she pay her bills – (cash rules everything around us – does the candidate have any?)
3) Is she a survivor – (has the candidate had to endure scandal/controversy?)
4) Baby boy – (has the candidate ever had an abortion?)
5) Cater to you – (would you want a backrub from the candidate?)
6) Dangerously in love – (is the candidate in a relationship that can’t last?)
7) Bootylicious – (this should speak for itself)

HALLE BERRY has been on the Hollywood scene for years from doing bit parts on television sitcoms to landing leading roles in a few blockbuster films. In what may have been her most underwhelming character she was able to win an Oscar for leading actress. Some of you might remember her breakout role in SPIKE LEE’s flick ‘Jungle Fever’. HALLE played the role of SAMUEL JACKSON’s crackhead girlfriend. She told an interviewer that he would go for several days without bathing so that she could find that character within her. Personally, I think she did that just to ward off the advances of SPIKE. Ol’ boy likes his women like I drink my coffee – light and sweet. Just ask VERONICA WEBB. Anyhoo…

HALLE has put in hell’a work too for someone that’s only 40something years old. Several failed marriages to men that were physically and emotionally abusive will garner her some good points on the Survivor factor. But enough blather already, its time to factor…

1) Can you say her name – 100 (if you know jig folk like we know them then you would know they have hundreds of ways to spell this name. i.e. HELIE, HALLIE, HALIZE)
2) Can she pay her bills – 100 (five letters – OSCAR)
3) Is she a survivor – 150 (from her father to DAVID JUSTICE to ERIC BENET, this chick puts dichord and dysfunction on a sammich. And likes it!)
4) Baby boy – 100 (remember those pictures of HALLE going shopping with ERIC BENET’s daughter? How perfectly were those staged?!?)
5) Cater to you – 100 (she did give up that sweet poonahnee to BILLY BOB in such a nice way)
6) Dangerously in love – 100 (40+yr old black woman/20something white boy model = he will need upgrade sooner than she will)
7) Bootylicious – 100 (HALLE caught a $500,000 bonus for showing her tatas in ‘Swordfish’)

HALLE BERRY’s BeYONCE FACTOR totals = 750 points!

There is no way this should happen. BeYONCE KNOWLES takes a back seat to no one in the entertainment game. Let me review these numbers again and see where I could have messed up the calculations.

NewsBreak: HALLE BERRY pleads guilty to felonious hit and run accident.

With the above information at hand I have to regretfully deduct 200 points from HALLE’s score leaving her at 550 points well under the 700 required to be considered equal to the queen of all womanhood, BeYONCE. We’re sorry HALLE, but arrest records are only good for rappers.

PIMPS UP…

March 6th, 2006

turkey hams

With 3-6 MAFIA ‘stealing‘ the Academy award for best song in a movie it is a sure sign that Hip-Hop is now dead or we are knee deep inside of the apocalypse. Take your pick.

All I can tell you is that as soon as I see white folks dressing like this I am going into my parents basement with five years worth of canned goods.

DAVE CHAPPELLE’s BLOCK PARTY = WATTSTAX

March 5th, 2006

block party

DAVE CHAPPELLE’s Block Party‘ comes close to rekindling the spirit of the legendary WATTSTAX concert in Los Angeles back in 1972. Albeit the concert in L.A. was held in the Coliseum and there were 90,000 attendees, the essence and the spirit of the music at the Block Party was the same. Los Angeles had been set on fire in the 1960’s due to the poor social conditions that residents were experiencing. The Vietnam War raged on and Black community leaders were being systematically killed as well. Heroin was just beginning to show the ugly face that drug addiction creates. The WattStax concert was an affirmation that the people that lived in the ghetto could still be beautiful, despite what surrounded them, they could still be proud of who they were.

DAVE CHAPPELLE’s Block Party had that same feeling for me. The writers at this site use this space to rail against Hip-Hop and some of its musicians because they project an image that contains little pride or respect for their community. These are the most popular artists within the genre and they usually receive the most media coverage and radio airplay. None of those artists that use Hip-Hop music as a toxic poison were at the Block Party. The event wasn’t a hippie convention either even though there was some good ass ‘white boy’ weed being passed around. The musicians that graced the stage had mad love for their art. These are the folks that have come to Hip-Hop not because it represented a fast cash option or a ticket to fame. These musicians exist as the last remaining artists within the Hip-Hop genre.

DAVE CHAPPELLE’s Block Party film captures intimate moments and candid conversations with these artists. You get to see them rehearse their craft and you get an understanding that these artists are real people that do real things like we all do. The artists project a regality not from what they do, but from how they view themselves as regular people. These folks would do music without being paid for it because it runs through their souls. These artists are hard working. These artists are humble. These artists are proud.

The Block Party film translated that attitude of pride and self-reliance. The most profound moment in the film is when WYCLEF JEAN congratulates a group of college students for working towards their goal and then he advises them to continue on their path undeterred. “Don’t blame the white man for nothing, go out and get yours”. Truer words have never been spoken by a crapper.

NIKKI ALEXANDER GOT FLAVOR!

BRITISH BROADS KEEP IT GULLY!

March 4th, 2006

c.r.e.a.m.

Faithful reader and friend of the website DEE DEE JONES has been trying to prove to me that Brit broads are way more gully than American chicks and male rappers for that matter. Now I admit that Euro broads in general have a certain air of gulliness, but I think that is due to the fact that these ladies don’t shower every single day. I mean. no matter how gangster some broad from Brixton thinks she is, there is always a Palestinian shorty that can blow her away (quite literally too).

The three stories that DEE DEE points me to are all crime related and they all have a woman playing a central part in the gulliness. Let’s play along with her and examine the evidence. You folks should already know how to click the shaded text to open the link to the story. If you don’t please shut off your computer and stick your head in your oven.

The first story is about a bank heist in Kent, a suburb of London. The robbers netted the incredible sum of 125M in British pounds. The equivalent amount in U.S. dollars is about $250M. The main players were two middle-aged used car salesmen and a 39 year old lady. They kidnapped a family and pistol whipped some security guards for good measure before Scotland Yard put the kibosh on all their fun. The sheer amount of the heist gives this caper a maximum gully rating even though the thieves were nabbed.

The second story is about some drug smugglers in England that have been dubbed the ‘Bling Bling Gang‘ because of their propensity to spend their ill-gotten gains on all sorts of luxury items. I guess it is as equally hard to file a W-2 for crack profits overseas as it is stateside. Its also interesting to see that crack cocaine is still really flourishing overseas as a business venture. The gang was rumored to be taking in 300M pounds annually. Give the English credit though for being progressive degenerates. Women played central roles in this gang as administrators and they were given sentences as harsh as the mens were. Like most other trends the Europeans have borrowed from the states and subsequently regurgitate back to the U.S. I think I can foresee a more powerful narcotic coming from England. After consuming it the user immediately walks into his parents bedroom and shoots his father, then rapes and strangles his mother. Oedipal Crack.

The final news piece relates to your boy KANGAY’s U.K. tour in which two security guards were clapped up, and I don’t mean applause either. Right now a man and a woman are being held in police custody as suspects. This is how I know that Brit broads are slow. Doesn’t that chick realize that Mr.WEST is gay?!?
