"All The Summer's A Stage"- Live & In Color

What better way to escape the fact of financial depression then to attend a FREE (or low priced) concert by one of your favorite artist? Yeah...
Okay, sex IS a good answer, but I was being rhetorical. Anyhow there's a good amount of really nice ones coming up, that I think you should place on your calender pronto! First off, Snoop will be in Brooklyn! Did you hear me? Snoop...Brooklyn! That's a crazy sentence even broken down into two words. Here's a flash at some "super dope fresh dookie" shows I caught wind of.

"Just Spell My Name Right" -The Minority Wins Over The Majority

I get a call the other day, from a new found friend requesting that I set a day aside, to be interviewed for a expose' another friend of her is doing on bloggers in Brooklyn. I say "Okay" (I rarely turn stuff down...except you know...hard drugs and things of that nature) and agree to meet at Galapalos in Billyburg at the Dead Prez concert (NO! I have no pics of that btw). What she failed to tell me was that the journalist "doing me" or rather the interview, was gonna be freakin' cuter than a basket full of bunnies on Easter Sunday morn! As you see in the clip, I was like Snoop Dogg in his very 1st video. I never quite make eye contact with the camera (gotta get over that s**t QUICK btw). Me, in my sick mind, I wanted to make a WHOLE other type of video...Feel me? Lol! But being the professional that I am, I keep my composure and did my thing on the mic. Off camera, we were scolded for walking on and being backstage. But even the "just got laid off, just doing this part-time" bouncer, got all puppy-eyed when he saw her face. And was like "I don't really care, it's Massa Boss man that made me come say something to's you." Whatever right? Go bounce yo self. Anyways that's my story, and I'm sticking with it.

"Sophie's Choice"-Oprah's Dog Digs Own Grave

Awww, I hate to publish sad animal stories, but did you read recently that Oprah pound puppy, "Sophie", passed on? Reports say that the black cockerspaniel owed by the media mogul, was suffering from a deep state of depression and separation anxiety (much like Steadmon) due to all the time Oprah was spending away at her school in Africa, and those annoying road trips with BFF Gaye. What was the final straw that pushed the poach over the edge was, rumors that "O. Diddy" recently purchased a Manhattan condo for said best friend, using Sophie's company name. Feeling neglected, the K-9 went "off the leash" with anger and committed suicide, by choking on one of the many rubber banded $100 bills wads of money Oprah has laying bout her home. Funeral services, to be attended by the likes of Snoopy, Scooby Doo, Benji,Snoop Dogg, Spudz MacKenzie, Lassie,& Bow Wow. As well newly divorced Lady and the Tramp, are being planned for sometime this week. Bow wow wow yippee yo yippee ya!

"Caught the Red Eye From MIA"- Rick Ross CD Release Party

I missed the Snoop Dogg one last night but here's my second chance to get a dose of Hip Hop in my blood stream for the week. Ross as well as the "Doggfather"
have CD releases out today if you got lost for a moment.
I'm thinking he'll be performing greatest hits (all two of them) "Everyday I'm Hustling" (and the remix) today (lol). Wait hold up...I just received news that the release party has just been canceled! Damn! Maybe Def Jam is reconsidering even putting the ALBUM out too. Oh well I guess I'll get my "fix" from the Amanda Diva show at S.O.B.'s tomorrow. Sorry for any inconvenience.
