Joe Rogan Vs Carlos Mencia

I had a set at the comedy store Saturday night, and after I closed, I was bringing on the next comedian, a guy named Kirk Fox that works for Carlos Mencia.
I introduce him saying that he's a funny guy, and that he opens on the road for Carlos "Menstealia." That’s the name we call him at the comedy store, and of course Carlos doesn't like it one bit.

Carlos was apparently in the room when I said this, and the perfect combination of ego and timing made him decide that this was the night to put his foot down. As I got off stage and headed towards the back of the room, he grabbed the mike away from Kirk, and said that I was too much of a pussy to say that shit to his face. Which to me, is something akin to the hottest girl in the world daring you to fuck her while you're standing there in her bedroom naked with a boner.

Of course I had to disagree with him, and I decided to get onstage with him and have this "meeting of the minds" as it were. On video, and for the whole world to see via the internet.
Shazam!”



You can check Joe’s website for more words from the man himself. Stay tuned for more news soon. The last time I checked, Carlos Mencia’s name was on the front sign at The Comedy Store. I’m still waiting for the double billing between Joe and ‘Los, it should make for a hell of a night, sort of like hip-hop meets wrestling with stand up thrown in for good measure.

So, now I'm banned from The Comedy Store.

MIMS- "This Is Why I'm Hot"

Quote from MIMS: "If you listen to the record, I've got a bit of everything in there," says the Washington Heights, New York-based MIMS. "I'm showing love to all the different regions."
"As an artist I want people to expect the unexpected," he says. "Don't think for one minute that I am going to come this way all the time. You'll hear one record and go wild - 'Wow. He did that ?' I want people to listen to the album and expect the unexpected because this is only the beginning. It is going to get better than this."

Stephen Marley-“Traffic Jam” video

PR Quote from Stephen Marley
'Traffic Jam' come off of an incident that happened with me and Julian, an incident with some police. After it, I went straight to the studio and we were doing some dub plates. And dub plates, you just kind of freestyle and that was how that came about, just talking about what happened. So 'Traffic Jam' wasn't really a song on the album, it was an interlude with just me, short."

On The Road Again-Songs To Drive By To

Whether you’re taking that cross country trip you always planned, out on a scenic Sunday drive through the country, or fighting road rage on a jammed up highway, these songs are the perfect soundtrack to the streets. Pop in you favorite Willie Nelson Greatest Hits CD (ha) and get back on the road again!

I had to cut this short as I found tons of songs that could fit this post. I left alot of great stuff off for now, let me know which ones you think should go on future post like this.

Sir Mix-A-Lot - "My Hooptie"
While most songs talk about the magic moments their autos posses, Sir Mix-A-Lot went the other direction in a ode to jalopies everywhere!


Rush
- "Red Barchetta"
Here is a song about a car and chasing freedom with it. Yet another classic car song.


Creedence Clearwater Revival
- "Around the Bend" Catch a ride to the end of the highway and meet me at this boogie woogie CCR fav! Still sounds as good as ever!


Eddie Kendricks-"Keep On Truckin' "
One of the funkiest songs to drive to, the rolling bass line will help melt away those mile to your destination!


Sheryl Crow - "Everyday is a Winding Road"
Sherly is heading down that road for maybe the second of third time. At least she will know where she’s going. One of her best songs and a nice nod to driving.


Wilson Pickett-"Mustang Sally"
The Mack Rice written song is also one of the early hits about muscle cars. This one belongs to the super fast Sally, renamed by The Queen of Soul herself!



Eagles - "Life In The Fast Lane"
This one will get your motor runnin’ and if your not careful, you might get a speeding ticket in the fast lane!



Grateful Dead- "Truckin'"
The first time I heard this song was live at a Dead show in Ohio. The 2 hour ride back was nice and mellow, thanks to the Grateful Dead CD I bought, and the hang-over from the night before.


Billy Ocean -"Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car"-
The 80’s had a few car themed radio hits, and this was one of them. Where the hell is Billy Ocean these days anyway?


Chuck Berry-"You Can't Catch Me"
The legendary Mr. Berry doing it in style, but it seems like Mr. Morris Levy was the one that was too fast to catch!


Pebbles - "Mercedes Boy"
I’m not sure that the dude dancing all over the wall in this video would get in Pebbles car if she paid him, but the song was the jam back in the day. This was back in the day when TLC was just slang and not a money making super group under Pebble’s control.



T.I.,Young Jeezy,Young Dro,B.G.,Big Kuntry "Top Back (Remix)"
A little video montage of some nice scrappers, with the remix to Top Back in the background!


The Doors - "Roadhouse Blues"
Keep you eyes on the road and your hand on the wheel! Everything will be fine once The Doors hits the stereo. We should be good to go for another 200 miles with Roadhouse Blues leading the way. Let it roll baby roll!



Chamillionaire /f Krayzie Bone – "Ridin"
This is the ultimate hip-hop song about the dangers of getting to comfortable in your car.
A word of warning for the numerous rappers who have been pulled over and arrested for possession of all kinds of contraband, Chamillionaire drops science with this track. Riding Dirty is not allowed boys and girls, so if you MUST be a gangsta, do it at home and not in your whip…especially while ghost riding!

Some OG Ish- Gangsta Rap hits the silver screen

You know how we do it...in my house shoes, sliding to the store. It ain't nothing but a gangsta party!

-
Ice T, Toddy T, King T, NWA. These names are synonymous with west coast gangsta.. rap. But all too often one groups name goes unmentioned. The group the genre was named after, Gangsta Rap. Gangsta Rap is comprised of Murder Mike, Du Rag and DJ Ballistics. In the mid to late eighties, Gangsta Rap ran the west coast underground with such classics as ..Fuck That Bitch.., ..Beat Yo.. Mamma With A Hammer.. and ..Spit Or Swallow... In the early nineties Gangsta Rap fell into obscurity after several run ins with the law, shady business management, failed comeback attempts and countless child custody cases. But now, they..re back. They've just inked a deal with gangster rap powerhouse Innersounds Records and are the subject of a documentary film entitled Gangsta Rap: The Glockumentary.

The new movie Gangsta Rap:The Glockumentary looks more like a dis to gangsta rap as a whole. Like Fear of a Black Hat or CB-4, the plot follows a group of rap artists as they struggle with the music business. The film features well known comedians, and rappers such as Too Short, Howie Bell, Schuylar Harvey, and Gerald Johnson. The movie opens on March 2nd in LA. The feature-length comedy is independently released by Ill Ville Films/Big Business. Written and directed by Damon "Coke" Daniels. Stay tuned and check the website for more!

Really Really Good: Throw Some D’s Edition

R.I.P Disco D

I got the news that Disco D had passed away a few days ago. The up and coming producer had a major hit on his hands last year with his production of 50 Cent’s single Ski Mask Way. The details surrounding his suicide are slim, with some sources claiming mental health issues and financial worries as the main motives behind his death. One thing that is clear is that hip-hop has lost one of its brightest music makers.

I had the chance to ask Disco D a few interview questions a while back, and posted them on a few blogs. He seemed like a genuinely cool guy, ready to take on the world. You can check it out below, along with some other links on the story that are worth a look.

Rolling Stone has a list of some of the best bands on MySpace at their website. You can listen to links from the bands they choose, or read the 200 "Rolling Stone sucks and so does this list" comments that follow. Some choice replys are as follows:

I’m never disappointed in the Rolling Stone’s taste in music….. because I’m ALWAYS disappointed in the Rolling Stone’s taste in music. Of all the great indie bands on Myspace THIS is what you’ve come up with? I think you just went through and picked the ones with “sweet” names. Gimme a break guys.

RollingStone.com isn’t worth the paper it’s not printed on. Was it unpaid interns who put this list together?

Ghostface: The Game Is Fishy from HipHopDX.com

What’s the status of Wu-Tang now? There was a lotta buzz on the Internet that there might be some beef after you failed to perform with the group at the VH-1 Hip Hop Honors.

Nah, there’s never no beef. What it was, the VH-1 Honors was supposed to have took place in August, so I switched my European tour dates to October. So when October came we had to start that tour, and when they changed their date to October it just didn’t work, ya know what I mean? But when everybody gets situated, we’re gonna do another album. Even if it’s our last album, the world will know, yo, this is it and we’re hanging it up. But whatever we do, it’s just gotta be monster.

MOVING FROM CHARITY TO AFRICAN EMPOWERMENT: DIAMONDS PROVIDE SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN BOTSWANA AND SOUTH AFRICA

IT TAKES A CHILD TO RAISE A CONTINENT

When you look into the face of a young child in Africa, you should be able to see the future of a better world. Some may affirm it takes a village to raise a child. Yet for many reasons today in Africa, it takes a child with a good education, nutrition, health care and development opportunities to raise a village, a nation and a continent out of poverty and disease.

Respected African leaders like former South Africa President Nelson Mandela, President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa and President Festus Mogae of Botswana and many others have expressed concern about the current wave of misinformation in public discourse with respect to the issues of diamonds from Africa. In a letter to Warner Brothers and to "Blood Diamond" movie director Ed Zwick, Nelson Mandela cautioned, "It would be deeply regrettable if the making of the film inadvertently obscured the truth, and, as a result, led the world to believe that an appropriate response might be to cease buying mined diamonds from Africa." He added, "We hope that the desire to tell a gripping and important real life historical story will not result in the destabilization of African diamond producing countries, and, ultimately their peoples." We concur with Mr. Mandela.

It is unfortunate that old stereotypical images of an underdeveloped, self-destructive, savage Africa have been re-conjured up in the mindset of too many people by those who may be well intentioned but who, through their unmitigated zeal to make and market movies, documentaries, and other forms of media, inadvertently display a hurtful, counterproductive, irresponsible and less than accurate portrayal of the current reality of Africa. Despite this inaccurate interpretation, we welcome and are thankful for the opportunity for dialogue with all who are focused on this issue, especially human rights organizations, like Amnesty International.

Even in Sierra Leone today, the issue of diamonds and the stability of that economy is quite different and far more productive than what is displayed in the movie. Since Sierra Leone became a part of the Kimberley Process in 2003, revenues from diamonds in that country have increased 100%, helping to repair its tragic past. Our job is to help strengthen the Kimberley Process.

We are very strong defenders of freedom of speech and freedom of artistic expression. And, we know with freedom comes responsibility. The objective of this open letter is to clarify the facts and be responsive and responsible in helping African people empower themselves. We all must be willing to support efforts and initiatives that can make a real difference toward ending poverty and disease in Africa. More than a handout, the people of Africa need a helping hand toward empowerment, trade and investment.

While completing a nine-day Simmons Jewelry Company fact-finding mission to southern Africa to see firsthand how diamonds are empowering Africans in Botswana and South Africa, we witnessed concrete examples of how the diamond industry directly enhances sustainable economic development and contributes to the overall self-empowerment of African people and communities. We first chose those places in Africa where there are stable democratic governments and the kind of government-private sector joint ventures that have a factual and transparent track record of improving the quality of life.

We were in search of a success model not only for the diamond industry but, eventually, for other extractive industries in Africa. We found that Botswana is the undisputed world model of African empowerment when it comes to the extraction, processing and production of diamonds. We visited thriving commercial training and production centers, as well as well-equipped public schools, hospitals, family care facilities, orphanages, and HIV/AIDS clinics, all financially supported throughout Botswana from diamond beneficiation. We were heartened by the positive developments we saw and we believe these effective measures can be the model for other countries in Africa that possess vast resources.

When we arrived back in the United States one week ago, we reported our findings of fact and announced the establishment of the Diamond Empowerment Fund (D.E.F.(TM)).

As a nonprofit international organization, the mission of the D.E.F.(TM) is to raise money for the development and empowerment of people and communities in Africa where diamonds are a natural resource. We are in the jewelry and diamond business. We believe in corporate social responsibility. Out of this, The Simmons Jewelry Company launched the Green Initiative. The purpose of the Green Initiative is to raise funds for the D.E.F.(TM) Twenty-five percent of the net proceeds from the sale of Simmons Jewelry Company Green Initiative items go directly to the D.E.F.(TM)

During this holiday season of giving, we urge others in the diamond industry and all people of goodwill to give back more and work harder to help make a productive difference in Africa. Let's refrain from paternalistic arrogance and misinformed judgments about an entire continent that has been so blessed by God with an abundance of natural resources and great potential. Let's help them realize that potential. Our love for Africa is unconditional. Will you join us?

Sincerely,
Russell Simmons and
Dr. Benjamin Chavis
