Throwback Videos ::: Artist to Reconsider :::::: Camp-Lo


As Far Back As I can Remember, I always thought Camp-Lo (Geechi Suede and Sonny Cheeba) was one of Hip-Hops Hidden Gems. A gem that is hard to find, but once you find it you put your head back, and you Marvel at it Beauty. With Camp-Lo you get that Gem of Hip-Hop, at its most relaxed, Ambiance to take you to the chill zone. I am hoping that this Throw back session, allows you the reader the opportunity to delve into a timeless set of beats and lyrics, that were married and show that a divorce between them is a non issue with these fusion of Jazz, Hip-Hop, and Soul, splashed with Funk.

Camp Lo - 2007 - Black Hollywood - Freestyle in NYC






Brief Bio:

Camp Lo made their first appearance in 1996 on The Great White Hype soundtrack, with their single "Coolie High". The smooth party song was a minor hit, peaking at #25 on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles chart. Their first major exposure came with the release of their second single, the upbeat, horn driven "Luchini AKA This Is It". The song became a crossover hit in 1997, breaking into the top 50 on the Billboard Hot 100, and reaching the top 5 on the Hot Rap Singles chart. The duo released their debut album Uptown Saturday Night in January 1997. The effort was widely acclaimed, praised for their light accessible content and their smooth, funk and jazz inspired production.

The majority of the album was produced by Ski, famous for his work with Jay-Z. Guest appearances were provided by De La Soul's Trugoy and Digable Planets' Butterfly. The album's 70s-style content was influential on a number of artists within the next few years after its release, like Will Smith, who enlisted Camp Lo for an appearance on his top-selling Big Willie Style album. Also in 1997, they appeared on Oran "Juice" Jones' single "Poppin' That Fly". They collaborated with Hip Hop legends De La Soul in 2000, on the song "So Good" from the Hip Hop 101 Compilation. They finally returned with another album in 2002, titled Let's Do It Again. This effort was not nearly as well-received as their debut, and was met with mediocre reviews and sales. Shortly after the album's release, Aesop Rock enlisted them to appear on his album Bazooka Tooth, exposing them to fans of the underground Definitive Jux label. The duo has recently been in negotiations with Blacksmith Records, a label headed by rapper Talib Kweli. Kweli has expressed interest in signing Camp Lo to his label. In 2006, Camp Lo recorded the song "I Wanna Be" for Midway's NBA Ballers: Phenom Soundtrack. Also in 2006, "Bed Rock", the first single from a mixtape called Fort Apache, was released exclusively through on-line sources. In June 2007, Camp Lo released "Black Hollywood".

Why does Britney pay rent? Does she really?


According to TMZ the pop star pays rent and and much more than you would think. A teachers salary worth- Monthly, a little less than your neighborhood trash man, at a rate of 35,000.00 at the end of each calendar month , for her Malibu Mansion. Possible Eviction on top of that, is not cool, when you have a craptastic load of cash in the bank, then again, it can all be BS and I am eating it up, like my Saturday Lobster Cantonese and Shrimp toast.

Read the Story on TMZ I am still scratching my head as to why would she rent, when she can buy a smaller home, for a few million. Then again I am not the expert, and mansion tax is a bitch and she probably knew her money would slow up some day.

Heck if I know, I am just keeping watch on her.

Rihanna ::: Cheeks and Leather


My goodness, I am getting the feeling that one of these days Chris Brown is going to have to show a little more than a dance move or two to keep this one in check. Rihanna is sticking to her mantra; good girl gone bad. In no way am I upset that she decided to take this route, but someone please tell me, when am I going to get the opportunity to marry this woman? I can take Chris Brown and Jay-Z on for the right to get a piece. Cant I? OK... I guess I am dreaming, until then enjoy the pictures.

Angelina Jolie urges further Humanitarian Efforts in Iraq




I have said it to many in my circle that Angelina Jolie is more than a pretty face or an actress attempting to appear as a person who cares. Angelina Jolie is a foundation to principles, that makes a persons character one that have a positive light over it.

She has done many great films, taken home oscars, have beautiful children Adopted and her own, a great relationship and that is not the end of it. We can now add Editorial writer to her resume, where she has penned this article pertaining to her concerns for relief efforts to further:


Staying to Help in Iraq

We have finally reached a point where humanitarian assistance, from us and others, can have an impact.


By Angelina Jolie
Thursday, February 28, 2008; 1:15 PM


But in Iraq, where I've just met with American and Iraqi leaders, the phrase carries a different meaning. It does not refer to the departure of U.S. troops, but to the return of the millions of innocent Iraqis who have been driven out of their homes and, in many cases, out of the country.

In the six months since my previous visit to Iraq with United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, this humanitarian crisis has not improved. However, during the last week, the United States, UNHCR and the Iraqi government have begun to work together in new and important ways.

We still don't know exactly how many Iraqis have fled their homes, where they've all gone, or how they're managing to survive. Here is what we do know: More than 2 million people are refugees inside their own country -- without homes, jobs and, to a terrible degree, without medicine, food or clean water. Ethnic cleansing and other acts of unspeakable violence have driven them into a vast and very dangerous no-man's land. Many of the survivors huddle in mosques, in abandoned buildings with no electricity, in tents or in one-room huts made of straw and mud. Fifty-eight percent of these internally displaced people are younger than 12 years old.

An additional 2.5 million Iraqis have sought refuge outside Iraq, mainly in Syria and Jordan. But those host countries have reached their limits. Overwhelmed by the refugees they already have, these countries have essentially closed their borders until the international community provides support.

I'm not a security expert, but it doesn't take one to see that Syria and Jordan are carrying an unsustainable burden. They have been excellent hosts, but we can't expect them to care for millions of poor Iraqis indefinitely and without assistance from the U.S. or others. One-sixth of Jordan's population today is Iraqi refugees. The large burden is already causing tension internally.

The Iraqi families I've met on my trips to the region are proud and resilient. They don't want anything from us other than the chance to return to their homes -- or, where those homes have been bombed to the ground or occupied by squatters, to build new ones and get back to their lives. One thing is certain: It will be quite a while before Iraq is ready to absorb more than 4 million refugees and displaced people. But it is not too early to start working on solutions. And last week, there were signs of progress.

In Baghdad, I spoke with Army Gen. David Petraeus about UNHCR's need for security information and protection for its staff as they re-enter Iraq, and I am pleased that he has offered that support. General Petraeus also told me he would support new efforts to address the humanitarian crisis "to the maximum extent possible" -- which leaves me hopeful that more progress can be made.

UNHCR is certainly committed to that. Last week while in Iraq, High Commissioner António Guterres pledged to increase UNHCR's presence there and to work closely with the Iraqi government, both in assessing the conditions required for return and in providing humanitarian relief.

During my trip I also met with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who has announced the creation of a new committee to oversee issues related to internally displaced people, and a pledge of $40 million to support the effort.

My visit left me even more deeply convinced that we not only have a moral obligation to help displaced Iraqi families, but also a serious, long-term, national security interest in ending this crisis.

Today's humanitarian crisis in Iraq -- and the potential consequences for our national security -- are great. Can the United States afford to gamble that 4 million or more poor and displaced people, in the heart of Middle East, won't explode in violent desperation, sending the whole region into further disorder?

What we cannot afford, in my view, is to squander the progress that has been made. In fact, we should step up our financial and material assistance. UNHCR has appealed for $261 million this year to provide for refugees and internally displaced persons. That is not a small amount of money -- but it is less than the U.S. spends each day to fight the war in Iraq. I would like to call on each of the presidential candidates and congressional leaders to announce a comprehensive refugee plan with a specific timeline and budget as part of their Iraq strategy.

As for the question of whether the surge is working, I can only state what I witnessed: U.N. staff and those of non-governmental organizations seem to feel they have the right set of circumstances to attempt to scale up their programs. And when I asked the troops if they wanted to go home as soon as possible, they said that they miss home but feel invested in Iraq. They have lost many friends and want to be a part of the humanitarian progress they now feel is possible.

It seems to me that now is the moment to address the humanitarian side of this situation. Without the right support, we could miss an opportunity to do some of the good we always stated we intended to do.

Angelina Jolie, an actor, is a UNHCR goodwill ambassador.

Law Enforcement is considering the Drugging allegations of Britney Spears


The Los Angeles police stated to AP and TMZ that they are looking into the allegations of Britney spears alleged drugging by way of Sam Lutfi. Lutfi who once managed the pop star in and out of the recording booth, has been reportedly drugging the pop star and mistreating her, by yelling at her.

Their is no formal investigation, but the Robbery- Homicide department is looking in to launching one. The polics Captain, Kyle Jackson stated the claims "are being considered," to determine if any law have been broken.

Police also added that no suspects have been identified

In past interviews Britney's mom Lynne Spears has reported that her former manager has cut her phone line, Drugged her, and yelled at her. Which led to the restraining order that was put on Lutfi, in which he can not come with in 250 yards of the pop star.

My personal thought on this : Sam Lutfi is going to be hung out to dry, every mistake that he has ever made will be scrutinized, ever word that can be recalled that showed misconduct will be highlighted, any mismanagement and misappropriated funds will be the spotlight of his character. If her ever said one word against the pop star or her family this will be noted, and witnesses will come out the wood work.

The alternative to that is Britney is going through a lot of things in her fast life, and had a break down. As it is, in the end nothing can point to her being a wreck, it will destroy her career. So Lutfi you are in for a wild ride, and Britney's Family has the resources for your Coaster ride to be one heck of an event.

In the end we need Britney Back on her feet., strong and providing the world with music that will be felt around the globe. She has enough in her life now to write complete music, enough money to take the time to do so. I wish her luck.

Movie To reconsider ::: Perfect Creature


This movie is a brilliant combination of an old idea fused with a new vision of directing. This has to be one of the best vampire movies that is up there with Interview with a Vampire, Queen of the Damned, the Blade Trilogy and Underworld. If night walkers are your cup of tea I recommend that you get out this weekend to the video store, grab some of your favorite chocolate treats, some popcorn and soda and make it a movie night.

This movie stars Dougray Scott, Saffron Burrows, Leo Gregory, Scott Wills, Stuart Wilson, Craig Hall , and a great supporting cast. This movie is a team effort so do not look for standout stars but more for something that stands out as a complete project.

Angelina entertaining the idea of raising her new daughter in France?



circulating Buzz - Angelina Jolie is looking to raise her unborn child in France?! I think that idea to be, a, little far fetched, and may not be the whole idea. With other children that are American born and adopted alike.

In contradiction to the wacky world of Entertainers and their ideas. Entertaining the idea does not sound half bad at all. Although her unborn has no say in this along with Brad Pitt "Passive" nature, I think that Angelina would not do that, but then again she is a little bossy.

What led to this idea, is the fact that Sources say that Angelina and Brad have purchased a chateau in the south of France! OK...so the rich do it all the time! Heck...I have a Flat in the south of London and a hut in the Grand Caymans, my dogs are raised here and get to piss on the planes once in while when we go to romp on the beaches. It is called having a home base and vacations spot and enjoying the world while you are at it.

Go figure! Even is she decides, she will always use her American soil to ground her offspring.

As reported on a Socialites Life:

"Angelina's recently deceased Moms Marcheline Bertrand hailed from the country, and Angie thinks it would be a lovely tribute to raise their new daughter there and explore her French heritage."

It sounds good and all, and I can see the significance in wanting to raise your unborn in the home town of her mother, but lets not forget that the Bread and butter of her fortune is on American soil, and I don't think she will relinquish it in its entirety. The possibility that this is the sole sentiment behind the purchase makes sense, but I think that she would like to give all of her children the opportunity to see where their grandmother is from and to get a sense of who she was as a person. Allowing them a peek into her hidden heritage. Buying a vacation spot will allow the communication to be all the more special to her children.

Ashton Kutcher and Tyra Banks working together on a new project

Photobucket

Tyra Banks, Ashton Kutcher, when you hear their names you think reality television. The two budding Television moguls are known for an ability to make something that is pretty novel into mega millions. From Pranks and Geeks with Ashton Kutcher, to Models and Lack kuster Banter and questions in a talk forum with Tyra Banks, the princes of day time talk. Combine the two and you will see ideas clash and birth new ideas through the conception of old coupled with the new.

So the spawn of the two realms will surely be entertaining, and American will tune in for the first few episodes to see what happens. It is up to these two to keep Americans tuned in, and judging from their track records, that may not be much of a problem.

As reported on people:

The America’s Next Top Model queen and the producer of Punk’d and Beauty and the Geek are working together on an unscripted show for ABC that will have contestants competing in a beauty pageant, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Tyra and Ashton have something up their sleeves but ABC, which has ordered eight episodes of the still-untitled show, is keeping the twist under wraps.

Photobucket
As promised by the producer of the Oscars award ceremony, Whoppi received her call , as she stated on the view this morning saying that Mr."Gil Cates called me yesterday," Also saying that "He made an oversight, pure and simple."

As Cates told People on Tuesday, "No harm was intended, and I feel very, very badly that she was left out. I'm going to call her and tell her that."

Goldberg went on to quote the producer, "You know I love you ... It was a mistake, and I'm sorry I didn't catch it." Topping it off to say that: "I know him as a great gentleman," And that they will move on from this.

That is the good news I like to hear, this is the world, and to all her co host on the view leave the subject alone on and off screen.

Rihanna and Chris Brown splashing it up in the pool.


I am a little heart broken, Rihanna splashing it up in a pool with Chris Brown, in in the caribbean island of Barbados.

“They were smooching in the pool and were really lovely dovey. They were playfully making out and he was kissing her on the neck.”

The attractive pair, who got matching star tattoos on their necks in January, got in the pool after a leisurely lunch yesterday at the Hilton Kingston Hotel in Jamaica. They were hanging out with friends and at about 3 p.m., Chris, 18, jumped into the water and waited while Rihanna went to her room and changed into a bikini.

“They were floating together with him carrying her and she kept saying, ‘Don’t get my hair wet.’ She was very soft and feminine but he was a big kid and splashing around.”

Moment of Truth ::: She's a Cheater!

I think that every man in America is yelling out loud right now in pain and in liberation from the blame of infidelity's. For the past century or so, the social realm has pointed it finger in the direction of the male figure as one who cheats. A dog is what they would call him, but what do you call a cheating a woman? A %^#@% , perhaps? Although it is liberating; this episode from the Moment of Truth, has opened a can of worms that has been sitting on the shelf for far too long. Revealing the surface of the pain that men feel and felt for far too long. Although Enterpolics is not about this, it is important to point out that each side has a closet filled with skeletons and at times it is in the closet no one opens - ever.

Take a look at the video from Monday February 25, 2008 episode of Moment of Truth:




***This is an issue that Enterpolics Parent Blog Sentient Spectra will did into in the coming months as soon as it is up and running.

Drew Barrymore opens up about Justin Long....


As I told you in the past Drew Barrymore and Justin 'mac' Long is in a relationship to respect. These two were made for each other, in the sense, that this man is educated and tamed and well versed to handle a delightfully human woman, such as Barrymore. Although she has her past haunting her present, she is delighted to share her positive future with soneone who understands her and is willing to take the walk with her, instead of awaiting her arrival.

I wish the two of them bliss and continued life success. Read the report on People to further your understanding of what a great relationship they have.

Whoopi Goldberg received apology from Oscar producer over the Oscar Montage ( Alleged) Oversight


Apparently the Oscars sent a silent message to Whoopi Goldberg that her services are needed and until she comes back to hos the show, they will leave her out of more montages. Now if I can believe that I will believe in the pig that flew by my office window this morning, as I was drinking my cup of Java and Vodka.

The Oscars is a big show, that is dubbed as a flawless event showcasing the work of artist in the film industry in the past year. From those who direct, produce, design sets and costumes, sound and image editing, Acting, writing, and much more. So in the mix of that they leave out people, people that may take offenses, at the end of the show, leaving them feeling as if it is a pretentious work of snobbery.

Whoopi Goldberg is one of these people who were left out of a Montage. Along with others, feeling that she was snubbed this year by the Oscars and not acknowledged for her past service to the academy, as a 2 time host, and a recipient winner for her acting. The producer of the Oscars stated to People that it was "an absolute oversight." Also saying "no harm was intended, and I feel very, very badly that she was left out," Gil Cates said Tuesday. "I'm going to call her and tell her that."

The producer of this show is the same producer that invited her to host. This is more of a personal reaction as to why she would not be included in a montage, whether it be about hosting or the funniest moments as they say it was about. Cates continue on to say it was an " Oversight" and topping it off by saying "I asked her to be on the show. She did it twice," he said. "She is a formidable talent."

Whether it is an oversight or an act of malice we will find out over time. However I think that it is safe to say, that she was forgotten.

Movie to reconsider ::: Peaceful Warrior


If ever there would be a film that you can walk away feeling differently than when you arrived at the theater, then that movie has done more than entertain you. The opportunity to make art fulfill its true purpose has been taken by this film. An opportunity to enlighten thoughts beyond the level of mediocrity.

The film is based on the book " Way of the peaceful warrior."

You must look past the budget of the film or the lack of art direction and focus on the principle of the film. A film that seems all to reminiscent of the Karate Kid or the many Jean Claude Van Dam Films, you will be able to extract from this film a sense of well being.

The character Socrates played by Nick Nolte is a great re-entry role for the incognito actor, is sort of a mystery in this film and received his name from the lead character played by Scott Mechlowicz. The lead character is a gymnast who is not sure of him self, but seems to weave through all that insecurity on the gym floor, to prove who he is, as an athlete, and end up falling short. He gets into an accident that takes away from him the one thing that makes him. From that point he must learn not to give up, but to take his life to the next level spiritually. Although he seeks to give up, he has the help of his inner mind or so it seems in the character Socrates and the help of Amy Smart's Character who keeps him focused on the positives of the future.
Photobucket
Here are a few Quotes from the Film that may convince you to have the experience:

  • A warrior is not about perfection or victory or invulnerability, he's about absolute vulnerability thats the only true courage.
  • A warrior act's only a fool reacts.
  • There is no starting or stopping only doing.
  • A warrior is does not give up what he loves - he finds the love is what he does.
  • Photobucket
    If ever your life consisted of a time when you could not make the next move, because something that you hold close and rely on has been taken away from you. This is the movie for you. If you are in a rut and seek to dig out of that rut this is the movie for you. If you know someone who carry a burden that weighs more than it is worth this is the movie for them.

    This film stars Scott Mechlowicz, Nick Nolte, Amy Smart. Directed by Victor Salva
