Look I'm for this project as long as they use undocumented Third World migrant laborers—okay?

$2.9 billion is more than the nominal GDP of a number of smaller and poorer countries, but hey, fuck those guys…

When did Jaden even become a name? Did America just have some weird baby naming crisis around 1993 and just start putting random letters together?

That must mean AA Dowd is giving out F- grades.

Throw in Jerome from Morris Day and the Time and we've got something.

I was talking to someone about how they felt that nothing had really changed since the 1990s, but the idea that Public Enemy used to go platinum with albums full of black militant political rap and references to Louis Farrakhan that were eagerly bought by pre-pubescent kids at my small college town junior high is…

It was also in the 90s when CDs made albums a lot longer and bands felt they had to release 60 minute+ albums regularly rather than albums that were around 40 minutes. Not sure if that was a symptom of or if was maybe a contribution to the extended album release cycle.

Belly was the perfect film for an bloated era where rappers(and rap fans) mistook Scarface for being The Godfather and every album became a double or triple album with over ten skits of cliched gangster routines .

Yeah, you think eventually someone will make a good rap biopic, there's the potential for it, though they never seem to be that good.

I think NWA were sort of like the Sex Pistols of rap—they weren't the first or the only gangster rappers at that point, but they were the ones who really personified the popularization of it through the shock and awe of that first album and it's impact on rap. Whereas Public Enemy is like The Clash.

I remember reading an interview with Dr. Dre in the mid-90s and he said that album was thrown together really quickly to have something to sell at the swap meets and that he always disliked the sound of a lot of it. You can tell though how they had some great singles for it, but then a lot of the tracks were just…

"Most of all, I hate that black-ass Wesley Snipes."

Yeah, he didn't grow up middle class, but he definitely wasn't a gangster, he was a kid who did performing arts including ballet and poetry—hell, Tupac even had a role in a production of The Nutcracker as a kid. Isn't wasn't really until he 2nd or 3rd album that he starting adopting a gangster persona.

"Just Don't Bite It" makes some good points…
