Jesus. That would be dope. Frederick Douglass. I'd ask how'd he get that super fresh part in his 'fro, they weren't even checkin' for that back then. People with something to offer besides pictures of their ass, and wack ass promotional propaganda. Ok, half of that is true. Dude that did the voice for Panthro on Thundercats. I swear that is the cat that plays Bill Cosby's daddy on the Cosby Show. Great Jaga! Somebody feels me out there. I'd also like to meet my dad's real mom and dad because there is no way two people as black as plum skins can have a grandson that looks like me. But I digress. I'm fallin' back.
Music from the soul. Not music from the heart. Not music from the mind. Music from the funkiest, dirtiest, self-loathing, narcisistic, creative, transcendant catacombs of the soul.
Sometimes I like movies that suck. I usually go for movies with a plot, a beginning, a middle and an end. It is important that the movies I watch provoke thought. Or they could just be about comic book characters or Halle Berry's breastas's or something. Don't front like Swordfish was good, because it was not. In my own defense, I try not to spend money on it if I know that I'll feel dirty the next morning for doing it. Oh, The Last Dragon was good. I liked Pulp Fiction too. And Remo Williams was big for me in the 80's. Coming to America should have won an Oscar of some sort. Bamboozled, winner. Even my mama liked Scarface. People act like Donnie Darko was great, it was not that good. G.I Joe the movie (Duke caught a snake with his chest, you know that was dope). Transformers the movie. Crash will make you cry if you have kids, not saying I did, but it will. Hav Plenty was good (who feels me)? Blah Blah Blah...this that and a third...
NO. TURN IT OFF. SERIOUSLY. Unless Flavor of Love is on. NOPE. TURN IT OFF.
I don't really read books. I'm two-thirds through about 15 books (lifetime record).
My mom. My love Hill. My sons. Shazam. My papa. Blade. George Jefferson. Hong kong Phooey (word to Scatman Scrothers, may he rest in peace).
