living on the edge.

So I read the other day that:

A judge halted sales of Notorious B.I.G.'s breakthrough 1994 album "Ready to Die" after a jury decided the title song used part of an Ohio Players tune without permission.

The jury decided that Bad Boy Entertainment and executive producer Sean "Diddy" Combs illegally used a part of the Ohio Players' 1992 song "Singing In The Morning."



I think this is crap, and here is why:

1) Juicy could me my favorite rap song, of all time
2) I heart P Diddy, and if I were "down with the brown", per se, he would be my main man
3) By "down with the brown" I did not mean Arabs
4) I still morn the death of Notorious B.I.G and can really rap out to "I'll Be Missing You"

Therefore, being the wild girl that I am, I have ordered this new CD (completely digitally remastered with explicit lyrics and bonus tracks) and it should be making it's way to my mailbox before the government can stop it. Oh, and let me know if you'd like to burn a copy.

ps- to all government special ops protecting the rights of the rich musicians, I was just joking about the burning. Please don't send the SWAT team to my parents house. Thanks.

Guess who's back...

I guess absence does make the heart grow fonder--as my lack of posting has really ignited a controversy similar to Tom Cruise vs. South Park.

Last night while my roommate, bf and I are watching TV, I came to the realization that I lived a musically sheltered life. Here are some things I didn't know:

1) Marvin Gaye's father shot and killed him
2) Jerry Lee Lewis married a 14 year old girl named Myra
3) Milli Vanilli's fake star Pilatus killed himself because he sucked.
4) 11 people died in a stampede at Riverfront Coliseum before a Who concert

On top of not knowing all of these things, when I was younger my Dad wouldn't let me listen to Tom Petty's Last Dance with Mary Jane because it referred to toking the reefer. Little did he know that I didn't actually know that and I thought it was just the name of the dead girl he was dancing with in the video. Thanks for the tip, Dad.

Anyway, my new knowledge had immediate results because last night during the Sopranos Pauley Walnuts said, "Junior Marvin Gayed his own nephew", and I knew what he meant!!

ps- I will not discuss the aforementioned Tom Cruise v. South Park story because I really hate him and for the sake of my mental well-being TC is from now on "he who shall not be named"
