"I Hate Bloggers"

And everything else that was missed in my latest hiatus....

Ballad Of The Little Hater


"Topher asked me to describe my Little Hater, and Derek asked me to discuss beatboxing. But the beatboxing game is to be sold, not to be told. If you're not familiar with the Little Hater go here."



The Republican Hater's Ball


"Hateration in the GOP dancerie. I'm soooo glad you all asked for commentary on Sarah Palin and made me sit through the convention last night. [/sarcasm]"


Vlogging is Stupid


"Just a station announcement before we return to regular programming. Conversate is totally a word, by the way. Like I said in the video please keep hitting me back with ideas, comments, stuff you disagreed with in some other video.. here or on twitter or wherever. And if you can do it in a video response that's even better!"

The Wall-E Theory


"***MINOR SPOILER ALERT***
Uncovering the secret code hidden inside the year's best movie.
For real though Wall-E was a great film, and I don't expect this type of movie (or any movie) to comprehensively cover every sociopolitical issue.. but I did find it interesting how it approached environmental issues, in a way that basically left class -and race- off the table.. especially since race and class are so often left off the table when the environment is discussed.."


"Yes We Can" - The George Carlin Remix


"For the great one. One of the biggest influences on my understanding of everything, and his legendary "7 dirty words" court case happened at the radio station where I've spent half my life. One of the people I most most most wanted to meet/interview. You could always count on him to be on top of the now for however long he was here, and I know that he was a devoted blog reader, so I always fantasized about him visiting my site or seeing one of my vids.
this video contains adult language (like, duh!)"

New Pruane!!!!!!!

Peep This...- Pharrell Williams producing Midnight Hour for Natasha Ramos

The finished product...



Since we already got Pharrel on the brain I might as well throw some of his work in. This clip is a couple of years old but it's always dope to see an artist in his/her element creating. Being able to witness the process of a song being born is awesome. Peep...

Peep This...It's The Cons TV "Premo & Pharell R Going In!!!"

This clip popped up on the internet last week but I just got to sit down and watch it last night. It's back stage footage (I think it's from the "Glow In The Dark Tour") of Consequence filming Pharrel telling the room (mainly Premier & Cons, but Chad, Chris Brown and as the story progresses random hip hop groupies) this story of a conversation between Busta Rhymes and himself.

If you have not watched the vid yet then stop reading and watch the vid before I drop the spoiler alert. If you have watched the vid and have no idea what P is talking about, ignore the spoiler alert and continue reading.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!

Now in this conversation between Consequence, DJ Premier and Pharrel, Pharrel is telling Cons and Preem how excited he is to be working with Busta Rhymes on his new album and Busta return to his original over the top performances and videos (If you ain't knowing, go to youtube and search "Woo Ha", "Gimme Some More", and the classic "Scenario"). This leads to Pharrel reenacting an entire conversation about a rejected hook for a song. Pharel recites this hook for Busta and he deads it because of the last half bar of the hook in which Pharrel says "Gotta respect Jungle".

That line is regards to the Jungle Brothers who pioneered a new era of hip hop music back in the late 80's and pretty much helped to launch the careers of De La Soul, A Tribe CAlled Quest, Leaders Of The New School (who Busta Rhymes was member of), Black Sheep and Monie Love. Not only did this foundation (The Native Tongues) make way for artists like Common, Jay Dee & Mos Def, but it also opened up a new channel/groove of hip hop. If you not knowing then read up here...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jungle_Brothers

... that being said, Busta says no to the hook because the line "Gotta respect Jungle". Of course Pharrel wants to know what the problem is because Busta Rhymes and The Jungle Brothers had a very close affiliation early on in there careers. Busta is so amped up that he can't even get it out so he calls Q-Tip (another artist who has an early career affiliation with The Jungle Brothers and Busta) on the phone so that he can tell Pharrel what the problem is.

Earlier this year, several pics of one of the members of the Jungle Brothers (Nathaniel Hall (Afrika Baby Bam) popped up on the internet. The pics of Bam in full facial make up were coupled with allegations that he was living in the UK as a blatant homosexual. Now the fact that they showed up on Mediatakeout.com makes the whole story suspect, but the pics were him. There was no denying it.

Now with the blatant homophobia that runs rampant throughout the hip hop community (who Busta is really the forerunner of and does not try to hide it) once the pics showed up it was a wrap. He was automatically gay. It turns out that the pics were pulled from his public myspace photo album and that they have something to do with his practicing of pagan (google it!!!!)principles. They were not sexual at all.

Anyway.... back to the vid. Now Busta has Q-Tip on the phone and he is trying to get Q-Tip to explain to Pharrel why he has a problem with Bam. Q-Tip knows what Busta is talking about but he doesn't really want to say. Busta gets tired of waiting, references the pictures and how the raging homophobia in him does not want to have anything to do with him because of the pics. He goes on to explain how the two just happened to show up at that same music conference and how he refused to take a picture with Bam.

Spoiler alert over!!!!!!

Now this vid is funny not because of Bustas story, but because of how DEAD ON ACCURATE Pharrel's impressions of Busta Rhymes and Q-Tip are. Peep!!!

A few things before I go....

• I love the fact that Pharrel refers to DJ Premier as "Teacher". The amount of respect that shows is something rarely seen in hip hop.
• Why is that kid behind DJ Premier molesting his face?
• What the hell was Chris Brown doing in the background?
• Pharrels excitement about hip hop music in general is crazy. I can tell he is truely a fan because he sounds like me when i talk about hip hop.

Peep This... HowTo Make A Beat

Stumbled onto this vid during my hiatus. I'm sad that I don't have much more to say other than the fact that it's dope. This is the only video on that youtube channel and the myspace pages provided on that channel have not been used for over a year. Even if you are not a beat head or producer yourself you'll still be able to appreciate the creativity in the vid. Peep

Ya know....

Tonight I am going to premiere a new section of the blog entittled "Ya Know....?". As in "You know your not supposed to be doing that but...." or "You know your going to hell for laughing". The latter leads us to or very first video. I give you ...
