Toasty

So if you are an old school gamer like myself and you played Mortal Kombat (or watched your uncles play it) then you may remember in MK II in the forest stage there would be some random guy pop out from a tree and say "toasty". No you were not trippin on glue there was a guy actually doing that. His name is Dan 'Toasty' Forden and he worked on developing the game and I guess it was an inside joke that made it into the game. It did not only make it into the game oh no. It made it into the hearts of millions of lazy children raised by Power Ranger's Super NES and SEGA 16-bit. I salute you Dan!

A Lazy Blogger's Music News Thingy

1.If you have not heard Prince will be releasing 3 albums pretty soon. What I am most excited about is that one of these albums MPLSOUND will be reminiscent of "When Doves Cry" um yes please!

2. Jim Jones popped champagne when he turned himself in to the authorities after a rumored scuffle with some security personell at Ne-Yo Xmas eve party. Making it one of the most ungangsteruos places to have a fight evur.

Jungle (crackhead) Fever.

So I stumbled upon Jungle Fever about halfway through yesterday. For those that don't know about Jungle Fever the movie, first, go to the corner, sit indian style facing me, and listen. It is a Spike Lee Joint (so you know its kinda wacked out)and about a black dude played Wesley "taxes what taxes?" Snipes having an extramarital and interacial affair with an italian woman and the craziness that ensues. A side story is Wesley's brother played expertly by Samuel L "snakes on a plane" Jackson is a crackhead. So the clip I will post at the end is titled "Gator's last dance" where..well you'll have to see it for yourself. Anyways, nowadays I don't think the content of Jungle Fever is so adamant today, at least i'd like to think so. Sure some people have the thoughts in their heads and conversations in their living rooms amongst their peers that took place in the movie, but speaking and acting out on interracial dating is so old. I mean come on already it's 2-00-9. Or maybe I am naive and interracial coupling still bother people, either way, sorry for ya, get over it, we're all the same color on the inside (eww but true). Alright enough with me trying to sound intelligent here is the clip that Sammy should have gotten an Oscar for.


PS: Stevie Wonder did the whole soundtrack and many of his songs were used throughout the movie brilliantly in my opinion, check out the song "Feeding off the Love of the Land" performed by Stevie, one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

Great Philosophiers.

When you think of great thinkers of the past you think, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Buddha, Jesus even. Now all of us walking among this great vast planet can now add another great mind to that list. Someone who does not write down his thoughts NO, those are for sissies. He is a man talks of the top of the dome. No restraint, No filter, No problem. That great man that I am speaking of is none other than...





Dwayne Michael Carter Jr aka Weezy F Baby.
On this blog I hope to post many insights that this man has offered to the world. Sure it does not make that much sense NOW, but in 100 years....it still wouldnt, but it would at the same time. Message!

Jammie

Wicked Wisdom is the metal band fronted by Jada Pinkett-Smith, yes Jada Pinkett-Smith. I have always Always ALWAYS loved her since A Different World, get with it kids. So when I found out she fronted a metal band, I was just blown away. To have the courage to do that when you are a black hollywood actress, that takes balls. And the band is actually good! Last time I checked Wicked Wisdom was signed to SubNoize records (hedpe, Kottonmouth Kings etc) and they went on Ozzfest a number of years ago. Here is "Something Inside of Me"
