I wanted to embed this video of Mos Def with him speaking on Roger Clemens & the whole steroids “scandal” but couldn’t.
Swiped from Fresh @ C&D and this particular comment from there gave me a good giggle as well.
“Mos Def always sounds like he’s knocked back one too many shots of Henney.”
Since it’s been my position throughout the whole “hip-hop/steroids scandal” and all the the baseball dealings, I have to say I agree with Mos because…
A.) My mom takes steroids because of a medical condition, so I’m fairly sure, if prescribed they’re legal. But hey, if they want to illegally take them, who am I to care because…
B.) I couldn’t care less.
C.) And as I recently read in commentary elsewhere, sports are about entertainment. He’s taking performance enhancing drugs. His enhanced performance = my enhanced entertainment.
Keepin takin shots in the ass, Rog.

“And as I recently read in commentary elsewhere, sports are about entertainment. He’s taking performance enhancing drugs. His enhanced performance = my enhanced entertainment.”
love that perspective
You mean you “couldn’t” care less right?
am i the only 1 who still cant figure out why the fuck the government is involved in the whole baseball steroid proceedings? shouldnt they be doin somethin more beneficial to the country with their time?
Mos = the man.
ok ok ok
IMO mos is the illest. top 5 no question, fuck how his albums is inconsistent and hes always on some other shit.. when he shines, thats it. your in his shadow. he is waht hip hop should sound like.
but let me hop off his dick a second…no homo… and say he must be trippin talkin bout that whole mick vick situation like that
“when dobermans and pitbulls start gettin niggas in the playoffs…”
mos is def on some other shit here. what the fuck.
Must cosign that “Mos Def always sounds like he’s knocked back one too many shots of Henney.”
My folks called me to tell me to watch Mos on PI and I was disappointed…this cat sound like “Big Black Africa” (catch that reference I DARE YOU) and a “VICK” comment might just do you in… and white america was just starting to like MOS.

Its official: Wale signs to INTERSCOPE. Album details inside!
http://elitaste.com/blog/2008/03/13/wale-signs-with-interscope/
LOS ANGELES, CALIF. – It has just been announced on 93.9 WKYS that DC-area hip hop artist, Wale, has signed with Interscope Records in a joint venture deal with three-time Grammy award winning producer Mark Ronson’s Allido Records.
Wale, 23, has seen a tremendous amount of success for an unsigned hip hop artist over the past year, gracing the covers of URB and DNR magazines, doing remixes for Justice, Chris Brown and MIA, performing at the MTV Video Music Awards, song licenses with Nike, ENTOURAGE and MTV and a growing internet buzz surrounding his most recent mixtape 100 MILES AND RUNNING and his upcoming Seinfeld-inspired project, THE MIXTAPE ABOUT NOTHING. Entertainment Weekly recently reported that the mixtape features a skit from Seinfeld star Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
Wale signed a production deal with DJ-turned-producer Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Christina Aguilera) in June of 2007 after impressing him on Ronson’s European tour. Following an intense, six-month bidding war, Wale signed to a joint venture between Allido Records and Interscope, saying Jimmy Iovine, Luke Wood and the whole Interscope staff understood his vision better than anyone else.
“Look at their track record,” said Wale via phone on his way to perform at a Justice concert in DC. “Dre, Eminem, 50, Pharrell, Timbaland, Black Eyed Peas, Soulja Boy…the list goes on.”
“This is the best possible situation we could ask for,” says Daniel Weisman, Wale’s manager. “We waited and kept grinding until someone came with something we felt reflected the work we’ve put in; Interscope got it.”
Mark Ronson will executive produce Wale’s untitled debut album and contribute production to the project due out in fall. Other tentative contributors include past Wale-collaborators Osinachi (“Nike Boots”) and Best Kept Secret (“Back In The Go Go”), along with Just Blaze, Pharrell, Kanye West, 9th Wonder, Justice and DJ Toomp.
Allido Records is a New York City-based label founded in 2004 by Mark Ronson and former manager, Rich Kleiman. Allido Records has put out releases by Rhymefest and Daniel Merrieather through J Records, and by Mark Ronson through RCA. Wale’s album will be the first release through their new joint venture deal with Interscope.
@ Thugnificence….
C’MONNNNNN playa, Big Black Africa???? Reference caught…
Bamboozled, my dude lol
“knam’sayin? nah’mean?”
Congrats to Wale for that.
Wale signed to a major?
kewl.
Guess I’ll be downloading his major label release for free right here.
Gotta disagree w/ you Gotty..
Steroids is not a good look. Willie Mays hit 660 HRs CLEAN, everybody should be on that same level. It fucks up your body and young kids think that shit is OK. Next thing you know, you gonna have swole-ass peewee football kids on that juice and fucked up by the time they reach 30. As a life time sports fan and former athlete, I CARE. Is it cool to shoot cee-lo with loaded dice?
Oh and Mos sounded like a JACK ASS on the Bill Mahrer show, I don’t know what that interviewer was talkin about.
One more thing,
Sports are about entertainment for the fan, but its also about competition for the athlete. Fair competition.
Who gives a shit!
Sports is about entertainment? Eh. Not sure where you read that but I completely disagree with whoever said that statement.
Biggga.
Thanks for the Miri-Ben Ari shit. Been waitin to see a link for that for a minute…lol
As Mos said..
WHO CARES?? Sports ARE entertainment. period point blank.
Sports are what we turn to when we need to escape the day-to-day grind. I frankly don’t care if they take ‘roids, I don’t think they influence kids to follow either. If you want to protect children from taking steroids and things… Take away all sports and competition. Seriously. No kid in the world would do steroids if there wasn’t an upside to it. without sports you eliminate 90% of the allure of steroids.. and once that 10% realizes that being ripped = having a reduction in dick size they will stop too.
I wish Barry would get on TV and yell out loud and proud. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED??!!!!
Word to the Maximus
Drugs in sport aren’t banned because they enhance performance.
You may disagree with the above statement, but drugs are banned in sport because they’re dangerous.
Elite athletes in the best fitness condition of their lives have heart attacks and die because of the affects of the drugs.
If it was as simple as performance enhancing, why wouldn’t everyone be on them? Everyone is one them = fair playing field and yeah better entertainment.
This isn’t the case because “performance enhancing drugs” kill elite athletes. It’s that simple.
YO GOTTY!!! COULD YOU PLEASE CHUCK UP A FEW J-ZONE ALBUMS???
can anyone hook me up with the DJ Muro “Japanese Gangster” cd?? would be much appreciated…
Sports with drugs ain’t sports no more – it’s a freak show! the same discussion you have in the states ’bout baseball, we have in europe ’bout pro-cycling.
Yo does anyone have A-G-2-A-Ke – Ball $treet? I’ve been lookin for that shit everywhere. If someone has it please up that joint. Thanks in advance.
@ dirk, gotty, boogie, amp, and logikal. thanks much for passing along your recommendations. i most definitely will act upon these when the time permits, i.e. lying to get out of some these stupid ass meetings when the opportunity arises.
yo…the hotel i’m staying at, tudor, is the fucking worse. 1) they don’t offer free wireless 2) they charge $15 for 24 hours use of the wireless they do have 3) the fucking hubs that they have spit out the slowest amount of bit rate known to man. fuck the tudor. however, this has sealed it for me…i’m most definitely getting a blackberry when my contract is up…i felt like such a herb when i couldn’t even check my email let along TSS.
Big Fonz Says:
You mean you “couldn’t” care less right?
=================================
No Fonz, “could care less” is correct. At least that’s the phrase I was taught. LOL. Gotty, you changed it??
No, “couldn’t care less” is correct because what you are trying to say is that you could not care less. That you have no more care for it.
When you say “could care less”, you imply that you do care, at least a little bit.
I’m not an english teacher or anything like that, but I think that’s correct.
^^^ ghostdini rich:
yo…the hotel i’m staying at, tudor, is the fucking worse.
========================================
my girl works in the hotel industry doing IT – her co. handles reservations for the tudor. just sent her your comment and she told the head of her company …
not like that’s gonna get you any extra mints or better turndown service, but hey, thought i’d pass it on.
@ Fonz,
Yeah, I know logically you would think that “couldn’t…” is correct. Well, actually it is, but “could care less” is accepted as well. It has something to do with an English/American dialect translation. But yeah, I see where you were going when you corrected Gotty, but I was just making the point that what Gotty said originally isn’t considered wrong.
LOL. You can find any kind of conversation on SS.
Oh yeah, and my mom is an english teacher. lol.
@ levar. good shit, homie. just make sure if you stay there, you bring your credit card to use the internet via the business center cause that shit is for the birds.
@ Heff, yeah man. I know most people use it that way. I was just pointing it out. I wasn’t really tryin’ to correct him on it. Really, I just wanted to see if anyone was gonna respond to it. It’s good to see that somebody did.
You should ask Mom-dukes what she thinks about it.
Peace!
@ Fonz & Heff…
that was one of the funnier ‘sidenote’ conversations I’ve read on TSS in quite some time. Thanks for the unintended humor. I’m picking up the torch and taking that ‘debate’ to work tonight. Fry a few brain cells, etc while I’m at it.
^ Yeah man, do that. See what you’re peeps at work say. Also see what they say about the term “a lot”. Most people think it’s one word, but it’s not. Hahaha.
LOL! That’s what’s up homie.
