Jay-Z speaks on being honored to MTV

Eddie Murphy please explain



Although I do not want to be known as the blogger who watches the Ex-Wives of men. I must point out the obvious, that has been bothering me for so long. After this weeks Hip Hop Honors for the ladies. I noticed something on the red carpet that has my attention.


IT IS EDDIE MURPHY'S BEST CHOICE and BIGGEST MISTAKE!

Eddie if you read this, not that you care or perhaps do, but do not have the balls to say anything. Just answer one thing for me. How did you let this one go south? Come on man, she is fine.

No Stopping him ::: JAY-Z gets global leadership award



Many tend to forget that this guy has been planting himself in a positive position for some time now. That position has granted him the opportunity to be the recipient of the Global Leadership award and that is what he achieved.


Now he did not do it for the accolades he has enough of that he did it for small villages with out the proper facilities. So that they can enjoy fresh water.  Better known to those who actually follow his work off stage as the "water for Life" initiative.

Congratulations Mr. Carter I know where you been.

Peedi Crakk Sweet Dream Jay-Z





Need I say anything about this one? If I do. You must be slow and need to be reading another blog. Come on with it. Get it together. Jay-Z has a problem coming his way. There I said it.

Peedi seems to be real pissed off that his career did not blow up. I guess now he will ride with the young ones like Baby Boy.


News break.



Somewhere on the net, I hear that Jay-Z, the subject of this song is doing two free shows in support of Barack Obama. Now that is making moves. However I would like to know the effect that it will have on the campaign overall.

Movie to reconsider ::: She's Gotta Have It



It was about ten years ago that I decided to explore more of the films that Spike Lee had to offer. During that time I came across 'She's Gotta Have It'. A raw uncut look at the side of a female's ability to control her own life and how she runs her personal affairs. Nola Darling is this women and the window into a world that existed but may have been frowned upon.

Growing up in a home where the women were domesticated I was shocked and amazed all in the same instant. Thinking to myself I wondered how can this be. As I watched the films I was drawn deeper into the lead characters sex appeal and the poetic essence of her existence. After that I did not know what to do. I wanted a women that came after what she wanted, or had the ability to draw me in so far that I did not know how to remove myself.



Spike Lee offered this in 'She's Gotta Have IT'. A classic and a film that created a generation of fans and started the care of said director. I recommend this film to generations to come. I think that it should be shows in all films schools and is a stable in the American film industry as well as abroad.

So here are some clips if you can not take my word for it.

Why the title Puff Puff Pass?



What I see here is a case of B-movie-logic, and a marketing team that did not believe in the movie enough to name it better than this. Aiming for the college slacker or high school drop-out is something that they've accomplished. Which I am sure was the aim.

Now you must be asking yourself then why did you see the movie Kem? I wanted such a film to watch. I needed something that looked so dumb that it contained nothing realistic about life in any way. I needed the slacker movie. A long week of toiling through paperwork and briefs, at some point in time you need to take a look back and call it a day, and enjoy your weekend.

Puff Puff Pass allowed me to do that. So my only beef with this film is that I think that is should have been named Slackers and smoke, it would have been better than Puff Puff Pass.

I would like to give a thanks to Mekhi Phifer for this production and directorial effort. Mekhi Phifer is better known for his is role as Dr. Gregory Pratt, on televisions ER. With this production credit under his belt along with two other movies 'This Christmas', and 'Noras Hair Salon 2'. I think that bad names seems to only come once. So we may be on the right track. However if you take a look at IMDB, the marketing geared towards the US assumes our slacker generation dumber than that of the UK. Over in the UK they have the name ' Living High', which sound like a far better title. It even adds an element that will will peak your curiosity. So my questons remains. Why The Title? Which should be, why this title in the US.

*Also when you see the movie, also take note as to the other misleading elements on the cover that did not take place in this film.

** This will be a classic antic filled film for sure.

Before you answer any of my questions, enjoy these clips. I think Terry Crews is the funniest and has a long career ahead of him.
