~Q Got Jokes ~

50 Cent gives Snoop a handmade sweat suit. What does Snoop say to 50?
G-U Knit?
(I stole that joke from The Redneck Silent One in Ravena!)

Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their new wives duties.

The first man had married a woman from Tennessee and bragged that he had told his wife she was going to do all the dishesand house cleaning.
He said it took a couple days but on the third day he came home to a clean house and the dishes were done.

The second man had married a woman from Florida.

He bragged that he had given his wife orders that she was to doall the cleaning, dishes and the cooking. On that the firstday he didn't see any results, but the next day it wasbetter. By the third day, his house was clean, the disheswere done and he had a huge dinner on the table.

The third man married a girl from New Jersey.

He told herthat her dutieswere to keep the house clean, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed and hot meals on the table for every meal.

He said the first day he didn't see anything,
the second day he didn't see anything
but by the third day most of theswelling had gone down
and he could see a little out of his left eye;
enough to fix himself a bite to eat, load the dishwasher and telephone a landscaper.

Gotta love those Jersey girls.

I'm out!

Keep Rising To The Top

This is a late one, but still good news for The King OF The South. Taken from Atlantic press release:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ------------------------------------MARCH 9, 2005

RIAA BRINGS OUT THE PLATINUM FOR T.I. "URBAN LEGEND" CERTIFIED AS
"BRING EM OUT" CROSSES OVER TO POP RADIO & "U DON'T KNOW ME" EXPLODES AT URBAN OUTLETS; NELLY TOUR KICKS OFF NEXT WEEK

"URBAN LEGEND," the chart-topping album from Grand Hustle/Atlantic recording artist T.I., has been certified platinum by the RIAA for U.S. sales in excess of one million units. T.I.'s second label release, "URBAN LEGEND" made an explosive debut upon its release last November premiering in the #1 spot on Billboard's "Top R&B/Hip-Hip Albums" chart and in the #7 spot on the Billboard 200. Now in its fourth month on the national charts, "URBAN LEGEND" remains in the top five this week on the R&B/Hip-Hop list.

"URBAN LEGEND" has thus far spawned a pair of smash singles. The first, "Bring Em Out," hit the top five at Urban radio and the top ten at CHR/Rhythmic outlets. The single is now making major inroads at CHR/Pop radio, ranking as the #1 "New & Active" track on this week's R&R chart.

Meanwhile, the album's second single, "U Don't Know Me," has already bulleted into the top ten at Urban and into the top 15 at CHR/Rhythmic. The companion video is in Heavy rotation at BET, where it is the #1 most-played video of the week. T.I. is being featured in a string of BET programs, including "106 & Park" (where he performed live on March 2nd), "Access Granted," "Rap City," "BET Style," and "Rip The Runway." The "U Don't Know Me" video is also in Big Ten rotation on MTV, and is enjoying major play on MTV2, MTV Jams - where it is in "Blazin'" rotation, and Fuse - where it is "Oven Fresh."

Coinciding with the success of "URBAN LEGEND," T.I. is getting ready to hit the road with Nelly. The two-month itinerary, which will play major venues from coast to coast, is set to get underway on March 18th and wrap up on May 21st. Also on the bill will be T.I.'s Atlantic labelmate Fat Joe.

In the online world, T.I. has performed for Sessions@AOL, the exclusive program of AOL-produced in-studio performances and interviews. His live performance has been among the Top 10 most played on AOL Music. T.I. has also performed for Rolling Stone Originals, where the audio is available for download and streaming via REAL and Rhapsody. On the wireless front, T.I. continues to have top-selling ringtones across a number of Atlantic's wireless partners.

"URBAN LEGEND" has been winning press raves and major media coverage since its release. Most recently, T.I. garnered the spring cover of Trace magazine and will be featured on the May cover of XXL.

"URBAN LEGEND" finds the Atlanta-based rap sensation joined by a crew of special guests, including Pharrell, Nelly, Lil' Kim, Trick Daddy,Lil Jon, Lil Wayne, Jazze Pha, and others. The album is the follow-up to T.I.'s breakthrough 2003 Grand Hustle/Atlantic premiere, "TRAP MUZIK," which included the hits "24's," "Rubber Band Man," and "Let's Get Away." In addition to the original "URBAN LEGEND," an entirely remixed version of the album - "URBAN LEGEND: CHOPPED AND SCREWED BY PAUL WALL" -was released last month. For this special release, the set was completely retooled by acclaimed underground mixmaster Paul Wall, incorporating the psychedelic sound of "screw" to create an all-new musical experience.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, according to Billboard, 2Pac, Loyal to the Game is in the platinum selling club as of Feb 15th.

Pac and Heather Hunter(?) during happier times.

"D.O.D. is in the building!"

It has been a long week for your boy Q. Without going into too much detail, let’s just say that it’s on right now. Wednseday was off the hook and will be discussed later. For now lets rewind to<<
Thursday 10th :<< Miami is around the corner and I’m still not sure what I’m doing, I have yet another big interview lined-up for next week, a DVD review that sitting on my desk waiting to get destroyed (It is not going to be pretty…you’ll see), and on top that, Do or Die are supposed to call me any minute now to do an interview. As I am trying to hook up the usb microphone to record my speaker phone, it rang. On the other line was my new Cornerstone Promotions hook up, Dani Lovett, with the Chi-Town heavyweights.

Mind you, I am a rookie to this freelance journalism thing, so of course I was a bit nervous in speaking to Belo, AK, and N.A.R.D. I wanted to record the interview and post an mp3 online for you all to hear. The speaker phone idea was a bad look. Soon as I switched over and hit record, the computer froze. I’m still not sure what that was about, but now not only couldn’t I record, my question were on a Word document, on the now frozen computer. So I had to ditch it, and pick up the handset and freestyle it. With that small hurdle out of the way, I kicked it a minute with one of the game’s finest groups. I may be new to blogging and journalism, but I am an old school head in this rap game. For those of you who are unaware of the importance of these brothers, let me break it down for you real quick.

D.O.D. has sold more than 3 million albums during their career. With their hip-hop classic “Po Pimp” they helped establish themselves and Chicago in hip-hop’s landscape. They would go on to record 5 more albums and with their distinctive style they brought a smoothed out feel to “gangsta” rap. They also spit game so fast you might not catch what they are saying. It’s no wonder, as they along with Chi-Town legend Twista, pioneered the rapid fire flow Midwest style that has been imitated and duplicated by many. Listening to emcees from east and west coast alike and you will hear many use the rapid flow, from Jay-Z’s Big Pimpin, Busta Rhymes, and Mystikal are just a few who have ripped it. But D.O.D. got it locked down. They prove in on their new album.

The new album has some major heat, starting with the already classic “Higher” with Kanye. There are many strong radio cuts on here. “Magic Chick” is already doing it thing on BET and radio. They told me about their “Magic Chick” nationwide contest where some lucky lady will win $5,000, a upcoming Magic Chick calendar, DVD, and upcoming tour. That alone would keep The Legion’s promotional team busy for a while, but the album has much more heat to promote.

Kanye delivers another radio ready hit with the bouncy “Paid The Price”, “If You Only Knew” with Twista and Syleena Johnson is another one that will fit real nice in the mid day radio lineup. “Be Alright” with Ric Jilla and Johnny P. sounds like it should be the theme song of a Sunday morning good news PBS show, with its uplifting Phyllis Hyman styled pianos and backup vocals, AK, N.A.R.D. and Belo gives hip-hop another feel good classic. As if that wasn’t enough, D.O.D. linked up with your boy DJ Quik for “Church”. The CD also includes Remy Ma, Johnny P, Malik Yusef, Grind Traxster Trump, and DTP’s Shawwnna on the “Higher” remix. Oh yeah, OG Max Juilen aka “Goldy” drops in for a few interludes just to even it out. This album has some heat.

Back to the phone conversation. D.O.D. also said to look out for their upcoming DVDs, and clothing company “Po Pleasure” coming late summer. They have big things planned for the upcoming year, and I wanted to go in depth on them all, but knew I wasn’t recording any of it, as my computer was still frozen. So I thanked them for their time and did like Dave said, wrapped it up B! Then Dani mentioned a party Friday night at Babaloos. She said she’d put me on the list plus one and I could swing through and holla at everyone. I said peace and that was that.

So Friday night I pull up to Babalos(remember, I live in Albany) hit the door, tell the girl at the door that I’m on the list and she says “oh no your not! Jigga what list? Jigga Q who? What’s a Canhead?” 15 minutes and $40 dollars later, I was at the bar getting a drink. It was alright tho’ I expected as much, club courtesy isn’t what it used to be in NYC.

The place had a nice crowd, Washington Height Promotions (or something like that(?) did their thing, and everyone was just coolin’. D.O.D. hit the stage late in the night, had to be like 2 am. They started with “Po Pimp” and for me it was the first time I heard that joint in a club since like 1990 something. Those 808s sound good as ever.

They also rocked “Higher , “Magic Chick” and some other joint that was tight as hell but I didn’t know. D.O.D. did their thing rocking the small crowd that braved the snow and the girl at the door. (I’m saying ma…….no..no SHE works for Cornerstone, not me…….I’m here for the D.O.D. party….not P.O.D,…D.O.D……I’m a writer….no…..a WRITER…..fuck it, I’ll pay) You can tell that their style might be a bit to fast for some New York heads tho’, as some cats were feeling it, but just standing there. D.O.D. might have to do like E-40 says, slow it down so the squares can understand it or set it off in club that will get it crunk. (ps I know a spot up here in Albany that would be perfect)

About 30 minutes after the show, as I was standing right next to VIP wondering what Dani Lovett looks like, I realized N.A.R.D. was sitting right next to me. I said peace to him (I think it was him, it was him or AK) and told him I would holla when the story was done. I don’t think he actually heard me, it was loud in the spot and I got that Barry White voice thing going on. But it was a good night all in all.

To make a long story short, cop that new D.O.D. album, catch them on tour, check the links below, and tell them Q.Rock639 sent you. Much props to Dani and the Cornerstone crew for the hookup and Belo, AK, N.A.R.D for choppin it up with me!

The Red Pill aka The Examined Life

aka "You have a problem with authority Mr. Anderson" aka "The cubicle next to you is empty."

The Matrix is one of my favorite films. For the record, I took the red pill years ago. I know this means nothing to anyone but me right now, but it does mean something, ya dig? Peace to everyone taking the red pill.

Favorite Matrix quotes:

Morpheus: This is your last chance. After this, there is no going back.

Morpheus: You have to understand that many people are not ready to be unplugged, and many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it.

Neo: Why do my eyes hurt?

Morpheus: You've never used them before.

Morpheus: Welcome to the desert of the real.

Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.

Neo: What truth?

Spoon boy: There is no spoon.

Neo: There is no spoon?

Spoon boy: Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.

True dat Spoon boy, true dat.

Justo's Mixtape Awards

Mixtape Awards To Honor P. Diddy As Top Executive

There's always a Hitch

too black....too strong

OK, so I spend way to much time on this blog and not on "real work". I can't help it, every time I start working on essays or Economics assignments (I'm working on it Mr. Jarvis I swear!) there is something onlint that i have to post.

Today I really was working on my American Cinema essay (my last one!). My subject is Hollywood and the issue of race. While writing on the old fashioned Hollywood, racially insensitive "classics" like "Birth of A Nation" and how far Hollywood has come, I came across this basin of ice cold water in the face. Renee Graham makes a good point when she states “It's hard to fathom Smith could ever be deemed too black.” Is it really like Kanye (Even if you in a Benz, you still a nigga in a coupe) West said? Damn.

Note to Hollywood: I watch White actors paired up with White Actresses and never had a problem with it….put Jada next to Will Smith in a romantic comedy free of stereotypes and watch America eat it up, you a$$holes! Romantic comedy, not drama, not comedy, not action flick, but ROMANTIC COMEDY! Think Cuba and Vivica in a Sleepless in Seattle remake. It wouldn’t hurt you to cast J. Lo next to Enrique or Marc for that matter either…hell it couldn’t do worse than Gigli and you will win points for being ‘forward thinking” and modern.)

My Finger Is On The Button

Since I started this blog, I get emails forwarded to me from publicity departments of all the players in the music industry. (Much Props to E.O. and Blog Critics.org) So much in fact, that I am constantly finding emails about some must see event, a day late and a dollar short..Po Pimpin' style. (speaking of Po' Pimpin'...I have Do or Die coming to Canhead soon, stay tuned)

I recently got one from Astralwerks announcing their line up of releases and tour dates. Here are some of the plans, I will be emailing Alison for more info. They are doing some big things this year, and hopefully I'll be there giving you the blow by blow details as they happen. Ben Watt of Everything But The Girl, Miss Kitten, and VHS or Beta are all on deck with the hotness, ready to release projects in the next month.

Here's a little from the email:

"Astralwerks is thrilled to announce The Chemical Brothers triumphant return to the US for their first live dates in 3 years! Their single "Galvanize" featuring vocals from Q-Tip is heating up the radio airwaves across the country. Their critically acclaimed new album, Push The Button, is out now. (Note to self: get personal copy of "Push The Button" for review asap) " It looks like they are still setting dates for the tour but they have these three dates listed. If your nearby, you should check them out.

Sidenote to The Chemical Brothers---When you guys set a NYC date, Q-Tip will perform with you, right?!?!?

4/27 Seattle, WA The Premier
4/29 San Francisco, CA Henry J. Kaiser Arena (w/ New Order)
4/30 Indio, CA Coachella

More dates to be announced soon! I'm all over this one like the dew covers Dixie so check back often. Check out the Chemical Brothers website and video to "Galvanize"too!

Canhead.com's Favorite Chemical Brothers/Q-Tip song list

1. "Vivrant Thang"-Q-Tip
While the video may have offended some with it's unrelenting line up of scantly clad models, it is a beautifully shot video (with or without the ladies...ahh who am I kiddin' without the ladies it is like Kool-Aid without sugar..weak!) Possibly Q-Tip's last real club banger until "Galvanize".

2. "Exit Planet Dust LP"-Chemical Brothers
This album reminds me of New Jersey, or should I say my life in New Jersey. When I was just getting into house, techno, dance, whatever you wanna call that shit with all the noise, bleeps and frequency sweeps. Back then, all the talk was how this new form of music was going to change the world. 10 years later, they are still saying that. Whatever, this album is the bomb!

3."Get Your Self High"-Chemical Brothers
Come on..this was the fucking shit! Sorry for the curses, but their is no other way to describe this song. It's like the Guinness guys say on the commericals, "BRILLANT!" "Don't rely on us to get you high!" If I had a dollar for everytime I told someone that. No but seriously, this song rocks, and the video is on some Wu-Tang shit for real.

4. "Where Do I Begin" -Chemical Brothers
This was my song for a long time! The first time I heard it was on a tape a friend of mine made for me. I had just got home from another late Saturday night on the town. As i sat on the couch, watching the sun rise, I decided to pop the tape in, roll one up and chill. This song came on, lullabied me to sleep, and has been on my all time favorite list ever since. (That would make the day I first heard "Where Do I Begin" a SUNDAY MORNING! HA!)

518 Represent!

I complain about their not being a lot to do up here in Albany. I am starting to take that back. There are tons of things jumping off up here, you just have to look a little harder for them sometimes. Case in point, check out some of the events planned for this weekend.

Northern Lights has a hot line up this weekend for the Albany heads...from rock to hip-hop, Clifton Park is going to be the spot this weekend. This Saturday night they have Hot97 FM's very own DJ Fat Man Scoop doing it up.
Then on Sunday night, Breaking Benjamin, Theory of a Deadman and the Exies enter the building. On Tuesday night, Rusted Root performs for their upstate fans.
Meanwhile, down at my bar Lark Tavern, (it may not be my bar anymore since I haven't been in the joint to see Ms. Tess for many moons now) 518 representative Shyste (also check this link)and Awar had their double CD release party on Friday night. Maybe I'll make it to "Sundaze" with DJ Ryan Kick; Sev Statik and DJ Bake.

Coming up in the next weeks, Steve Earle and the Dukes at The Berkshire Music Hall,
WRPI DJ Toast 16th Anniversary Party featuring Sean Price & Rustee Juxx(Boot Camp Clik and Duck Down), Bath Gate, German Luger, Sev Statik, Shyste, Jake the Snake, DJ Nate da Great at the Hudson Duster on the 12th! Whoa! Check out Pitch Control Music.com for the info

And if that wasn't enough, all hail he king! That's right, I wish my parent were in town so I could take them to see the man, Mr. B.B. King at the Palace Theatre Monday night. Much more is on the way, Green Day and Sarah McLachlan both are coming to The Pepsi and Papa Roach and Vanessa Carlton will appear at Northern Lights toward the end of the month. (Got to the show and tell her thanks for that "Time Warner" cable commercial!)
So now my problem is getting the time off for some of these events, this night weekend work situation of mine is being re-evaluated as we speak.

See you in Albany!

Bombs Over Baghdad

In the wake of "Fahrenheit 9-11" there has been an increase in the number of documentaries released by the Hollywood machine. With all that is going on in our world these days, it's no wonder that documentaries of politics or even the hamburger industry competes with the latest super hero spin offs and sequels. Many of them have moved us to action, educated us on matters we may have known about but were never exposed to, and enlightened us on the human factors behind every debate. One such film opens tomorrow and is sure to have people talking.

"Gunner Palace" was made by Michael Tucker and Petra Epperlein. They follow a field artillery unit in Baghdad that was stationed at one of Uday Hussein's abandoned palaces, during the height of the Iraq conflict. It should be at the very least, an interesting look into reality of being in combat in Iraq. This film is sure to stoke the fires of debate between the left and the right here at home. Some are already crying foul because of the strictly American viewpoint. Regardless, it is a viewpoint that we have not seen or heard as of yet. "Gunner Palace" looks to be a must-see film of the year, as "Fahrenheit" was last year. (Ed. Note. So last year I may add)

For trailers of the film, check the following links.
