It’s readily apparent that I get all types of emails & material in my inbox. Those messages often include actual personal emails from friends & acquaintances, i.e. people I like receiving emails from. Well, Suave sent this one and, even though I’ve seen the movie more than enough, some of these stumped me. Therefore, I ask for your help in completing the “Coming To America Quiz.”

1. What is Akeem’s full name?

2. “My name is Peaches…” what is her sister’s name?

3. Who is Dottie?

4. Who falls down the stairs and farts?

5. In the Miss Black Awareness Pageant, how many women are wearing a thong bikini? Read the rest of this entry »

I think it’s safe to say Charles Hamilton has had more than enough fun for one month, so why not let the homies in on the action? You may remember the Demevolist Music Group from their initial board meeting which was Staff Development and after months of OJT, they’re back for the First Order Of Business. The fact that three of the tracks were [Produced By Charles Hamilton] makes this a no-brainer to sample. Read the rest of this entry »

If you don’t know by now, MZ and I are from Columbus, so it’s no surprise to us that Killa! is basing the street angle of Crime Pays around his frequent ventures in our neck of the woods. If the brief acknowledgment in “What’s Really Good” were enough to set it off, you can only imagine what this will do. Shouts to everybody at Flypaper, CBusted and everybody else in the Buckeye State. Cam’s about to reintroduce “the 4th Coast.” Read the rest of this entry »

I caught the Cavs vs. Pistons game Sunday night & I hate to say it (sorry LC & Beware), but the Pistons are done. They’re gonna be a non-factor come playoff time. They appeared to be about their business during warm-ups, but as soon as the ball was tipped they were listless as Clay Aiken at a strip club. On the other hand, Lebron and Co. were stanky leggin’ to their hearts content, probably taking a total of 3 ½ shots before the tip. My only Pistons highlight was seeing Rasheed Wallace out early taking 3’s looking like a straight bum with some cut up sweat pants and Carolina blue Sheed Force Ones on. He didn’t disappoint at all: getting a tech within five minutes and not scoring until the 3rd quarter. So with the Cavs up by 15 only ten minutes into the game, my mind naturally started to wander.

Now that Cam’s hooked up with the gang from The Real, it’s safe to assume that he’s back. Actually he’s been back since “I Hate My Job,” but this will tide us over til “I Used To Get It In Ohio” drops in video form Wednesday on MTV2 (or sooner on the net). Read the rest of this entry »

When he’s not incarcerated, more than likely Project Pat’s in the studio crafting that ignorant shit his fans have grown to love for so many years. With no plans of slowing down for anybody but the law, Pat’s seventh album, Real Recognize Real bridges upon all the usual subjects the Memphis mack has built his career on without displaying superiority or slacking on his pimpin’ either.
