During a recent episode of The Beat With Melber, MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber showed off his Hip Hop knowledge when he quoted Mobb Deep. On Friday night’s (March 2) show, Melber was doing a special report on Donald Trump’s abuse of power and decided to quote the 1995 classic, “Shook Ones Part II” to diss the current POTUS.
“[Nixon’s impeachment case is] worth bearing in mind as the Trump White House now stonewalls investigators, but insist it’s not really invoking executive privilege, or it’s trying some kind of modified halfway executive privilege,” Melber said.
“But there’s no such thing as halfway privilege, just as there’s no such thing as halfway crooks,” he continued. “We know that truth from the great poet Havoc of Mobb Deep who observed that true criminal minds are always thirsty for recognition, but you don’t see longevity from halfway crooks, ‘cause they always end up shook. And that’s the big problem facing any White House pursuing a cover up with halfway privilege.
One half of Mobb Deep — Havoc — happened to see the episode and shared the clip on Instagram with the caption, “Just as I was watching the homie @arimelber couldn’t be put any better!! Ain’t no such thing as #halfwaycrooks.” It was followed by a flame emoji.
Melber responded with his own Instagram post that featured a photo of himself and the words, “You can’t quote rap too much.” He also mentioned in the caption he was getting some pushback in his email inbox.
“Real quote, although my inbox shows many, many people disagree.”
Havoc’s partner-in-rhyme Prodigy passed away in June 2017 from an accidental choking after checking into a Las Vegas hospital. He was currently on tour with The Art of Rap festival at the time of his death.[apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Meanwhile at CNN…
Respect to Mobb Deep and real rap. I can’t see any of these wack mumble drug taking tight clothes wearing clowns being quoted in 20 years time
With the exception of ” do it look like I was left off bad and boujee?” Shout out Desus n Mero gang gang
Ari Melber is jevvish. Ari means lion in hebrew. All these jevvs look the same too look at his facial features. They are not white they even dna test you in Israel to make sure you are a jevv. So no jevvs or not white and just a religion does not change your dna. They are their own ethnic group. You blacks etc stop blaming whitey when its these people.
And all you black dudes either look like tiger woods micharl jordan or morgan freeman
Only time whitey can be a jevv is by converting to judaism. Take a look at some of the converts and notice how they look different from the non-converts aka those born jevvish. Of course a convert just practicing a certain religion couldn’t change your physical features like your nose, ears face, hair all that. So yes, there are jevvs who are white, but those are converts. But when you look at these people in the public eye, you can notice they tend to look very much the same. White people don’t look the same, besides the skin, do they? But these jevvs do. Because being a jevv is not just a religion but their own ethnic group (minus the converts again). So stop blamin whitey for everything that’s fucked up in the world. Guess who were running the slave trade? Not whitey. Guess who are behind bombing middle-east creating an influx of migrants into europe and US? Only the soldiers are white. But those whose agenda they are following are not white. It’s a shame stupid american gentiles are willing to murder and spill their own blood in the jevvs wars in the middle-east to uphold Israel’s hegemony. Wake the fuck up people. You say mainstream media lies to you etc. Well, look up who owns / runs companies like CNN. And let’s not even talk about the death grip they have over citizens by owning the banks, issuing currency out of thin air and handing it out with interest. So many things you people blame whitey about, when the enemy is certainly not white. Time to wake up people.
Big Ups to Mobb Deep
Is “Shook Ones” the only song people know from wack ass Mobb Deep? They should’ve quoted something from King HOV. He’s got many quotables and classics to choose from. Plus he sold more than their album his first week.
Infamous and Hell on Earth destroys anything Jay z put out and yes that includes Reasonable doubt. Jay z the most overrated along with Eminem.
Says the guy with the camel toe…
Ask Russell Simmons
MSNBC are clowns. Trump won’t be impeached, they aren’t stonewalling anything. Mueller just can’t find anything because Trump didn’t collude with Russia
Ok hahahahah sure
It’s Comcast, flogging that horse’s corpse on both their news networks and on their late night propaganda shows.
Melbers a clown but its cool to see Havoc acknowledged as a Poet.
*a jevvish clown
Is Ari Melber dating Liz Plank?
