On Chappelle’s Lost episodes…
K. Clark: Did you get a chance to check out the new Chappelle episode?
W. Ketchum III: Yeah, I actually really liked the episode, all of the skits were real solid.
K. Clark: I think Charlie Murphy and Donnell Rawlings sold out their boy for some dinero.
W. Ketchum III: Eh, I’m sure that Dave understood though, esp. for Rawlings…I haven’t seen him in shit else aside from that show.
W. Ketchum III: But the funny thing is, everybody was really upfront about Dave leaving, as opposed to dancing around it like I thought they would…And you know what that means, right?
K. Clark: No, what?
W. Ketchum III: Before, Dave said he may do the show again…but after that, I’m convinced that Dave is never coming back. He was sitting at home, watching the show like, “Y’all know y’all done fucked up right?”
K. Clark: Dave don’t care, just as long as on the 1st and 15th that check comes in from Comedy Central.
On Diddy the Pimp…
AD LOADING...
K. Clark: But you know who needs a check, though? Babs from Da Band. She should be slapped for dropping a mixtape on MySpace.
W. Ketchum III: Nah, I think it’s a good idea. After all, it’s not like Diddy’s ever putting out a Babs mixtape…He’s too busy designing clothes, doing menage a trois’ in cologne ads, and dancing with Yung Joc. That, and putting together his own album.
K. Clark: You think Diddy’s album is going to be a classic?
W. Ketchum III: Man….I’m real conflicted about Diddy…
K. Clark: How so?
W. Ketchum III: Because he’s not exactly the best musician, not the best MC. But he always finds a way to make his solo albums really dope. No Way Out was dope as hell, Forever was a real solid album.
W. Ketchum III: But rap-wise, I haven’t felt anything Bad Boy came out with since G. Dep’s album in 2001.Selfish ass, Diddy saves the best shit for his own albums.
K. Clark: He’s a hustler. He’s always able to make something out of nothing. I mean he’s been eating off of B.I.G. so much that anyone else signed to Bad Boy is just a tax write-off.
W. Ketchum III: Exactly…But I digress; Diddy’s album will probably be dope.
K. Clark: But here’s the kicker… Diddy says that this’ll be his last album. Can he stay away from the game, while his other assets (B.I.G.) are drying up?
W. Ketchum III: Oh hell yeah! He’ll probably tack on another wack “Making The Band” type show, and he’ll make some loot from 50 buying out Mase’s contract. And in the long-term, Diddy will be eating off of Sean John forever, and he’s got his restaurant Justin’s, which is successful from what I understand.
K. Clark: Diddy is just a pimp in CEO’s clothing.
On the return of Flavor of Love
AD LOADING...
K. Clark: Speaking of pimpin’… VH-1 is back with Flavor of Love… the first reality slave show with Flava Flav.
W. Ketchum III: How many people do you think believe/know that the show is fixed?
K. Clark: It really doesn’t matter, as long as there are crack-headish antics that happen every week.
W. Ketchum III: That’s true. I really don’t like to put down the show, because I have a couple of facets of it that are close to me. For one, Hoopz is from Detroit, and as a Michigander myself, I usually support when I can (she’s fine as hell too, but that’s besides the point). Plus, I respect Public Enemy a lot.
K. Clark: Well, if Hoopz can stay away from Paul Wall, she could be a success story from that show.
W. Ketchum III: But still, Flava Flav is becoming a contender for the worst fall-off in rap history: from one third of a pioneering hip-hop group that raged against the machine, to being another victim of the machine itself, and a laughingstock in hip-hop circles everywhere.
On BET’s Uncut getting cut…
W. Ketchum III: Speaking of comedy, did you hear that BET “Uncut” got, well, cut?
AD LOADING...
K. Clark: Hahaha…Yeah, I heard about it. Cried two tears in a bucket, too. Ultimately, that show was one of the greatest comedies that never got a chance to show its shine to a mainstream audience.
W. Ketchum III: That’s true though, I’ve never laughed so much at music, ass and titties in my entire life. But hey, look on the bright side: at least this makes it look like BET gives a damn about their programming now.
K. Clark: You sure? They did hire Money Mike to host the 1st Annual BET Hip-Hop Awards.
W. Ketchum III: LOL! And the new host of Rap City is pretty bad, too.
K. Clark: Where’s J-Nicks when you need him? Oh, wait…He sucked donkey balls, too.
W. Ketchum III: But you can’t forget the BET Awards, that was dope. And, they have the new shows with DMX and Keyshia Cole, and they changed the hosts on 106 & Park. Criticize the moves all you want, but at least they’re changing it up a little bit.
W. Ketchum III: (And this is coming from someone who has boycotted BET for years.)
AD LOADING...
K. Clark: It seems like for every two steps forward that BET takes, they’re only accounting for the three-hundred steps backwards.
W. Ketchum III: LOL, well-put.
K. Clark: Right. But again… DMX — there’s a role model for the kids to look up to. He was on 106 & Park the other night and performed his song “uncut” for them. That’s really raising the babies, Will.
W. Ketchum III: What’d he do?
K. Clark: He performed like three songs on 106 & Park — they had to censor all of the stuff. It got so bad that they cut him off and went straight to a video.
W. Ketchum III: But hey, if DMX is good for one thing, it’s keeping it real…unless it’s with police @ airports
On Lil Wayne doing little writing…
W. Ketchum III: But you hear about the situation with Lil Wayne and Gillie the Kid? Gillie says that Wayne hasn’t been keeping it real either.
AD LOADING...
K. Clark: I don’t know. It’s hard because aside from the albums, Wayne was killin’ it with those Squad Up mixtapes. Don’t know how true that claim can be?
W. Ketchum III: As much as it hurts me to say this, I wouldn’t have a lot of trouble believing it. But between the wack juice that was 500 Degreez, and both Tha Carter albums, his skills have immensely improved, he literally sounds like a different MC to me. And in this situation, maybe “different MC” = Gillie The Kid
K. Clark: So, what do you do if you’re Lil Wayne — regarded as one of the best in the game, right now, and you’re secret is about to be outted like Prodigy at Summer Jam?
W. Ketchum III: Diss the dude once and keep it moving?
K. Clark: Wrong answer — you pay him off and hope that Gillie the Kid keeps it moving… right into the sunset.
