The Corruption of America's Children - 2:18 p.m.
halle berry - best actress Bill O'Reilly, who was recently dubbed "the new king of cable news" by TV Guide, had his special aired on FOX last night, "The Corruption of the American Child." The show was described as "a thought-provoking special that examines the effects of the entertainment industry on today's kids."

It explored tv, movies, the internet, and music with this disclaimer "Some may be shocked to see and hear what today's youth are exposed to on a daily basis — salacious dress, obscene lyrics, violent bullying and sexual promiscuity."

Of course one of the areas in the spotlight was hip hop. Russell Simmons and Damon Dash were interviewed briefly to explain the guns, drug and sex references in their artist's music. It was pretty funny. They couldn't explain it. Everything on the show was spliced and mixed to accent every point that Bill O'Reilly tried to make.. which you would expect.

Russell Simmons looked slightly embarrassed, knowing that he didn't have the politically correct answer to the question of rap music's ability to teach and uplift youth mired in poverty. And Dame Dash was squirming in his seat, twisting his lips up and getting mad heated over the line of questioning. He almost screamed on old Bill when he said that 90% of rap music is filled with negative influences, but held himself under control. Russell and Damon both asked Bill O'Reilly, sitting there in his suit, probably has never been to the hood in his life, and asked him the same question.. "Are YOU really concerned about kids in poverty?" basically questioning his motives.

It's not easy and in most cases impossible to defend references of drugs and slugs.. but it's not the entertainment's responsibility to educate my child. I don't have kids, but I'm saying. If a child can't read and they're in the fifth grade, then guess what?.. music has nothing to do with that. Rap artists aren't in the classroom giving these kids instruction, they're not teachers and if they applied fro a job the Board of Ed would let them know about their lack of qualifications.

Bill O'Reilly asserted that rap music is responsible for the continued poverty levels in the urban areas. WTF. What about the shitty schools in most of those areas? The lack of quality housing and retail developments? Hip hop grew out of these situations. Like a rose growing in an empty, abandoned lot.. rap music came out of these conditions as a response to the lack of concern or respect for the hood.

The so-called corruption of America's youth is not a by-product of the entertainment industry, it is a reflection of the condition of the country and the governments fucked up policies.. which have ZERO aims toward upliftment of anyone, white, black, or pink. Cash Rules Every Thing and Determines Every policy in the good ol USA.

Youth and adults alike are affected more by corrupt businessmen: Enron ala' Arthur Andersen style, outdated and just fucked up education curriculums, and the need for more profits in the business world in no matter what the cost, far more than what Beanie Sigel has to say about "cooking up coke proper." Granted, some people do get gassed up and start thinking they can be Scarface or bust shots out of Acs like Biggie, but out of the millions of listeners.. how many are really thinking about doing it. If anything rap music has given people in a wide variety of fields.. fashion, music, movies, magazines, the internet.. a road to the riches, so to speak.

Instead of pointing out the negative.. if he was so concerned about the youth of America.. he should have highlighted the new wave of artists who are NOT promoting "salacious" lifestyles: The Roots, India.Arie, Outkast, Common, Alicia Keys, the list goes on.. But his job is that of a rabble rouser, a guy who likes to stir up controversy and problems, but providing no solutions. If entertainment is that powerful he should direct his energy toward establishing that new moral salve that he believes is the cure for a better America. I can see it now The Bill O'Reilly Christian Network.. just keep the priests away from the kids and he'll be all right.

Instead of talking about a way of life, or a aspect of life for some people..why don't the questioners make a statement and provide the urban community with more opportunities, rather than their negative comments and pointing fingers. Before you put something down, try and build it up. (Pasha)

Sup With CooCoo.. uh, I mean Keke? - 1:28 p.m.
halle berry - best actress Christmas Day 2001 will always be memorable for Keke Wyatt's husband and manager Rahmat Morton, for whatever reason he decided not to buy her the 3 carat nugget and before he could say.. "but.." she ran into the kitchen to grab a steak knife and started to slice and dice. Rahmat was stabbed in the chest, back, arm and top of the hand. He should be happy that she didn't drop to the floor and go Lorena Bobbit on that ass. I don't know how big Rahmat is.. height and body wise, not the jangalang.. but Keke at 21 years old must have the strength and swiftness of a bobcat, cause he didn't stand a chance.

Okay.. I'm bullshitting about the reasons for him getting stabbed, but he did catch it "in the chest, back, arm and top of the hand" just adding a little tabasco to the story. Besides, it's old news.

It's been a few months since that incident at her home in Shelbyville, Kentucky and concrete reasons for the dispute were never made public. The MCA machine sniffed out the interest in Keke's personal affairs though and put a lotta muscle behind the video and song "Nothing In This World." "People are gonna eat this up," they thought and they were right, it's on just about every radio station across the country and she's sold a lot of albums that she probably wouldn't have without the attention gained from the incident.

I was watching BET last week when her video came on, and wondered what was up with her. Her husband's injuries, while bloody, weren't life threatening and he didn't press charges. The authorities were only going to arraign her for assault. So why hasn't she been making the rounds, promoting the album?

Speculation: umm, to let the heat cool off? Though her situation at home may have been settled, there's no need to put her on the hot seat, cause that would be the first question.. "So why did you stab him?" But "Nothing In This World" is gonna run out of steam in a minute so she'll have to get back on the scene.

On April 12th she'll do just that. At The Roxy in Norwalk, CT, paired up with Jagged Edge, she'll take the stage and start on the road to meeting the public face to face. .. I doubt if you'll get an answer to the "Why Keke, Why?" type of questions. And if your smart you'll refrain from even asking.. quick as a bobcat, I'm telling you.

If your in Connecticut and go to the show, hit us up with a quick "review."

Sharissa Heating Up
sharissa "The men are bugging me out, they're grabbing at me. I'm excited, they're giving me love (claps and whoos.)"

That was Sharissa on the radio yesterday, explaining her new found fame to Wendy Williams. You've seen her in that "Any Other Night" video where she calls her man, he doesn't show up or call, so she calls the next man. Yes indeed, it's the new woman of the millenium, ready to shove a brother out the door for the slightest infraction. What's going on?.. What's going on?

It's no wonder that dudes are hawking her right now, they've seen the video, those thigh high boots, nothing on really but a jersey and the bosom spilling out the top. She's country thick and she's also a new jack, so the industry hounds are making bets as to who's gonna tap that first. Sorry if your offended, but it's the truth. Even her damn dentist is trying to weasel his way in.

Look at her teeth. So fresh, clean and white.. she had some kind of special treatment done on them, can't say exactly what, but here's Wendy interrupting the conversation.. "Your thirty thousand dollar teeth are looking fabulous. They are holding up under the celebrity." "Thank You." Sharissa said. Then she laughed and in a you caught me voice says "I keep brushing them" and laughs again. That's something she does that a lot, bursting out in laughter.. she's definitely new to all of this attention.. But back to the teeth. I don't know what the hell she got done to them, but she says that she needs to give them special attention to keep them sparking white like that, sounds like more than just brushing. Does she have false joints? WTF!?

The dentist?.. She went to his office for a regular visit and on her way out he had a little blue box waiting for her.. inside was a pair of diamond earrings form Tiffany's. Now when was the last time you received a present from your dentist? He's putting in his bid.

Sharissa Dawes hails from Edenwall Projects in the Bronx, NY. She got her start singing in the school cafeteria and after taking her talents to the streets of NY, found herself with the connections necessary to get a contract with Motown Records. Before her album No Half Steppin  was released you might have heard her blow on Beanie Sigel's "Mac Bitch".. that was her singing the chorus.

"Any Other Night" has her on the hot seat though.. the song is big in North and South Carolina and she's all over the place promoting the album. Even though she lives in NY, on a recent trip back from a promo tour, she was here for six days and never saw her apartment. She stayed in Hotels. Wendy said "ordering room service and all that.." Sharissa cut her off, "Pleez, I'm still ghetto style girl.. I go and get my food."

Be on the lookout for her next video, she didn't name it but it sounds like the remix to "No Half Steppin" w/Scarface.. Wendy Williams is gonna make an appearance as, ummm.. herself.

Two Birds in One Night - 11:07 a.m.
halle berry - best actress Of course you've heard that Halle Berry and Denzel Washington won Oscars on Sunday night. Honestly I wasn't surprised that Halle Berry won, there was so much talk about her role in Monsters Ball  and zero about any of the other actresses in her category that it would have been beyond ridiculous not to give her the award. She was genuinely surprised too.. look at her in that picture.. instant tears and shit.. crying like a baby. That's for real.. she was on stage sobbing so heavy I thought somebody was gonna have to go up and calm her down. That could get embarrassing you know maybe a snot bubble was gonna pop out her nose, drooling.. something crazy.

Nah. I realize the importance of the moment. Halle approached her role in Monsters Ball  seriously and to be recognized by winning the most prestigious award in the movie industry and being the first black woman to do so was a big deal.

She ran off a list of black actresses who were looked over in the past.. Dorothy Dandridge.. Lena Horne.. Diane Carroll.. and showed how real she is by giving thanks to Spike Lee for giving her her first acting job in Jungle Fever

denzel washington - best actor Then it was the category that I had personally been waiting for all night.. Best Actor.. I could imagine how the nominees felt because my heart was pounding like I was gonna have to walk on stage. I wanted Denzel to win it, but would that be too much to hope for? Two in one night.. actually three because Sidney Poitier was given an Honorary Oscar earlier in the night.

When Julia Roberts opened the envelope the look in her eyes said it all, Denzel got it and he stepped on stage with all of the dignity and pride of a man who knows that he's talented, but was happy that he's gotten a validation of it from his peers. Training Day  may not be an Academy Award type of movie.. it's not like it was nominated for Best Film, but Denzel's turn as a "bad guy" was so authentic and out of character for him that his performance was praised regardless of the quality of the film on a whole.. I'm definitely gonna buy the DVD though. Anyway.. he has put in so many good performances that this was a chance for the Academy to ante up.

And for all the black women that complain about black men running to white women when they get some money and fame.. that's Denzel's wife smiling over there. A beautiful woman.. plus he ended his speech by telling his kids that he was coming home to celebrate with them. Very nice. denzel's wife

Predictably, yesterday there was a lot of mud slinging from people who couldn't believe that any of those awards were given to Halle, Denzel and Sidney Poitier. Mostly on talk radio. I don't want to bring it down to the level of race, because that's not where the line is drawn.. it's inked on the faces of those who only seem to accept black people in the roles of stereotypes. Anything beyond laughing and joking, gun slinging, drugging and pimpin.. Oh god.. it's a damn crime.. something must be wrong, check their histories EXTRA tight because these negroes are out of hand. Yep. It's a sad fact that no matter how fast the clock spins people remain ignorant. On the other side of the coin.. there are black people who don't acknowledge it either.. "So what if they won, it don't change my life." These retards can't find a sliver of appreciation for another person's accomplishments. It's all about them. The same people who you ask.. so what can you do?.. And they can't come up with an answer, probably because their dreams have been stomped on and trampled like trash, so they shit on everybody who finds away to achieve their own.

I'm not gonna go on.. because people of that nature don't deserve attention, let em stew like the crabs in the barrel that they are.. serve em up in a big basket at Red Lobster's, buttered, steaming, mmmm mmm m good. That's the fate of hate, a side dish on a great one's plate.

The best part of the evening for me was Denzel in the press room. Some dumb chick asked him what the smirk was for. Denzel shook her off by asking "I'm not supposed to be happy?" What he really wanted to say was maybe I should Buck Dance and smile fo ya. I also like his comment about 2 Birds in one night. He knows the underlying message of these awards: Get Off Our back. Though it was a Historic Night, when we start seeing Don Cheadle, Jeffrey Wright, Laurence Fishburne and Angela Bassett receiving the same accolades, then it will seem as if we've acheived parity.

Best of What? - 1:03 p.m.
best of both worlds The Best of Both Worlds was released on Tuesday, but there is a store in midtown Manhattan that always gets new CD's the Friday before the release date. This is all official wrapped and stickered stuff, not bootlegs.. those can be copped on the street, weeks beforehand anyway. So I walked into this store last Friday looking for some new tunes and there it was, stacked high and in full view, the infamous "Best of Both Worlds" album.

I had heard a few songs off the album and wasn't impressed until I heard Flex play this song where R Kelly was kinda rapping.. and doing a damn good job at it. Me and my cousin were shaking our heads saying how he really fucked up with all the bullshit surrounding him, this was a hot joint that would blow the album up. So I'm looking at the CD in the store thinking if I should buy it just for that song if anything.

I looked to the left of the Best of Both Worlds  and the CD that I came there for was on the rack.. Glenn Lewis. That was a definite, "..give me the Glenn Lewis.. and.. umm Best of Both Worlds." Yup. I bought it.

When I got out of the store, there was this funny feeling of sleaze coming over me. I started to think about that stupid title song and playing it loudly in the truck.. "Best offfff both worllldddss." That shit is horrible. But that other song I heard.. I wanted to hear that, and maybe something else was hot on the thing. But the sleaze feeling came back. I'm gonna be rocking a joint that really should have not been released in the first place.

With the trouble R Kelly is having, the album should have been put on hold. If he isn't guilty of the charges then there's no harm done, the album will be a blockbuster as people celebrate his innocence. There aren't any plans for touring or promoting the album beyond print and tv commercials. There will be no videos, no tours. So the point of releasing it is based purely on the belief that people WANT the album that bad, regardless of what's going on.. they NEED to have it in their collection. They'll point to the massive bootlegging to confirm their belief. Right or wrong it seems to me that given the circumstances, the album should have been left on the shelf.

So there I was thinking this.. and still it's in my bag. That's not happening, I turned around and went back to the store to exchange it for something else. When I got to the counter, and told the woman that I wanted to exchange a CD she said.. "The Best of Both Worlds?" I didn't even have to tell her, but she asked so I answered.."Yup." I guess I wasn't the only one, maybe that's why they were stacked so high.

Everyone doesn't think the same way though, I have friends - female and male - who are riding with the R to the end. And when next week's sales numbers come out, they might show that that sentiment extends across the country. During the Soul Train Music Awards, R Kelly's name was mentioned and a cascade of boos came down like Destiny's Child were performing at the Philly All Star Game in Lakers gear.

My question is do you plan on buying the album?

Oscar Spaghetti - 10:53 a.m.
we aint going nowhere The Academy Awards will be aired live from The Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles, California this Sunday. If you were able to slip past the velvet ropes you'd see three African-Americans walking down the red carpet making their way to their designated seats... wayyy in the front of the theatre.

Denzel Washington (Training Day) and Will Smith (Ali) are up for the Oscar in the Best Actor category and Halle Berry (Monster's Ball) in the Best Actress category. The Academy Awards have been criticized in the past for ignoring performances by black actors, so this is history in the making.

In 1958, Sidney Poitier became the first and only African American to be nominated for the Best Actor award for his role in The Defiant Ones. On Sunday he'll receive an honorary Oscar to credit his work which spans over 30 years. He had this to say about the nominations: "It isn't normal and it should be celebrated. Anyone knowing American film history, anyone knowing America, knows this is a huge, wonderful expression of American democracy."

Yes it is, but a nomination doesn't guarantee a win. Actors recognize this and usually have an idea if they have a chance, so they start giving concession speeches before things even get started.. Halle Berry is holding firm, but Will Smith seems to know that his Ali performance was good but stands no chance next to the two front runners Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe (A Beautiful Mind). Will is putting his money on Denzel: "There's so many times that Denzel should have won, and he didn't win,that people want him to win the day. Emotionally I want Denzel to win no matter what."

Training Day  was Denzel's Mr. Hyde.. he totally flipped from the nice guy to a corrupt, scheming cop and did it smooth as butter. He deserves an Oscar for that performance. But Training Day  isn't the usual type of movie that wins Oscars.. A Beautiful Mind?.. now that's more like it. Russell Crowe has taken his act of the stage though, pulling a bad boy act in the street.. offending some show business types, ruffling feathers in the industry.. right now he's on their shit list.

That could make Denzel a lock to cop the Oscar. He's been nominated for supporting roles before and lost. By winning on Sunday, The Academy could make up for past slights, but would you want to win an award just because the guy they really want to give it to was on the shit list? It cheapens the prestige, gives it a KMART look.

Denzel ain't to happy about it.. "..to suggest that it reflects on the Academy, would suggest they're doing somebody a favor. And I don't want that."

It's terrible that the guy puts in a tight ass performance and then this crap pops up.. but the drama will have me watching on Sunday.. I never watch The Academy Awards.

Is There Magic in the Garden? - 12:53 p.m.
we aint going nowhere Madison Square Garden, the home of the NY Knicks is a sad place to be these days. Lots of seats are left empty, the beer is warm, popcorn stale and the fans who consistently cheer the team on are let down night after night as the players start bricking it, get butter fingers and lose big leads in the fourth quarter.

There was a time when the Garden was the hottest ticket in town, Spike Lee danced along the sidelines and it was packed with stars and frenzied fans. Now that the Knicks have a 23-38 record - 12th place in the East, celebrities only come through if they have nothing else to do.. and season ticket holders give their seats away so they can get home early. The lone soldier, the most loyal fan of them all, is Spike Lee. He still makes it to every game, but he's not jumping up and down anymore.. maybe he uses the time to think of the new movies he should be making. (heh heh, when does he work?)

For some reason though.. the Garden is known.. as Michael Jordan puts it, as "the mecca of basketball." It's a respected place, but they have only won two championships and that was in the seventies.. Go figure.

Magic Johnson is another person who regards the Garden as a big deal. When I was at one of the games earlier this year, I saw Magic Johnson sitting down in the Spike Lee section and figured he was slumming for the evening. But he might have been doing some research.. yesterday the NY Post reported that he's interested in taking on the job as General Manager for the team. It's obvious that the current GM Scott Layden and Garden President Jim Dolan are clueless. Magic sees himself coming in and playing a role similar to the one he currently holds with the Los Angeles Lakers.. in a consultant/recruiter position.

That may sound unbelievable, to leave a championship franchise for the... umm.. Knicks. But here it is, in his words.. "I'd be interested. I would definitely sit down and talk with them. To leave the Lakers, you'd have to leave them for another great franchise, which has a history, with the fans. I love it here [in New York]. So when I was saying it, I was saying that that would have to be the only situation that I would probably leave the Lakers for."

As a Knick fan, it's like god has opened the heavens.. he's blessed us.. fuc some yellow and purple.. drape that orange and blue over your shoulders Magic. And he knows exactly what he can do for us.. quotes please "You need a salesman in the Knick organization, somebody who the athletes can look at and say, 'Oh, wow, OK, Magic's coming to the Garden. I went and recruited Shaq for the Lakers. And with the Knicks right now, they need a recruiter.'"

Buy your tickets now. Because if this happens there's gonna be a whole lotta bandwagon hoppin. By the way, when is Allen Iverson's contract up? I'll have to have Magic give him a call.

How Rumors Can Do Real Damage
This past Sunday, CBS aired 9/11  a documentary that followed the actions of one firehouse during the September 11 attack on the WTC. It was originally going to be a sort of practice film recorded by two young French filmakers, Jules and Gideon Naudet. Due to the close vicinity of the firehouse to the World Trade Center, they often answered calls from there and explains why during the filming of the documentary the filmamkers caught the first plane hitting the building and have the only footage of events taking place within Tower 1. After the initial shock of the plane hitting the tower, they made a quick decision to keep filming, becoming journalists on the spot.

In Detroit someone else thought that they would become a journalist as well. After seeing the planes hit and hearing that bin Laden may have been responsible, someone got on their computer and sent out an email saying how on September 11th they had lunch at a Middle Eastern Restaurant called The Sheikh in a suburb of Detroit and saw Arab workers cheering and applauding the attacks as they watched footage of the news reports on tv.

You may have received that email. No? How about the same story.. but this time the setting is Dunkin Donuts? Or how about the one about the Budweiser delivery man who entered a store and witnessed the same scene? Some people immediately identified them as fakes.. urban legends run rampant.. but for the owner of The Sheikh it's been all too real, his business has dropped 50% since the email campaign.

Dean Hachem, the owner of The Sheikh, arrived in the United States from Lebanon 24 years ago and became a U.S. citizen in 1985. On the morning of September 12th he arrived at his restaurant carrying American flags that he picked up on the way and the phone was ringing off the hook. The email had filtered through the community and hundreds of callers from the area were tossing threats and insults his way, saying that they would never eat in the restaurant again.. blah blah blah.

The reality is that the incident reported in the email never happened. As proof he called customers who ordered and picked up food from him on the 11th, they were documented as saying they didn't see anything like that.. "I saw only sad faces in your restaurant." In addition Dean invited people to view the security tapes which were running the entire day, showing that no one was doing the Harlem Shake, The Twist, or The Dame Dash... He and his workers had the same reaction as the rest of the country, a combination of shock and fear.

Since the email campaign Dean Hachem has had to let go of 18 people from his 30 person staff, business is down 50%, and despite the evidence his attempts to reconcile with the community have fallen on deaf ears. This in a community of homes that start at $500,000.00 or more, "these are educated people" Dean said, adding that he would have never thought that they would "punish and judge" him without proof.

The moral of the story is.. just because a house is pretty on the outside, it can be full shit when you open the door.. *Hah. that's my version of an ancient chinese secret. Wisdom, No?

Bad Boys for Life - 12:37 p.m.
we aint going nowhere Will Smith is a pioneer in the hip hop community. Don't get me wrong, you won't hear me blasting "Parent's Just Don't Understand" out of the jeep anytime soon and I certainly don't agree with his assertion in a Source magazine interview a few years ago where he stated that he was the greatest rapper alive.. period.. with a straight face.. Haha hahha ha haha hahaaha . Yeah he was one of the first rappers to get suckled by the MTV crowd, but I'm talking about his pioneering efforts in film and tv.

When he teamed up with Quincy Jones to produce The Fresh Prince of Bel Air,  a show that highlighted his B-Boy lite persona, he was laying the foundation for the rapper turned actor parade.

Following behind him, marching down that street, drawing crowds by the millions, was Martin Lawrence. He wasn't a rapper but he benefited from the popularity of rap and got his break from Russell Simmons. You Go Girl, Shanaynay, "You aint got no job maynnnnn" All trademarks of Martin. To bad his ego blew up and ruined the show.

It was during the time that problems began to bubble from behind the scenes of the Martin  set, that he joined up with Will Smith to make Bad Boys. It was a nice combination. Will Smith, already on his way to becoming a Hollywood sweetheart, smoothed out Martin's rawer edge, it was like sweet and sour pork.. or chicken.. Whatever floats your boat. Will Smith can command twenty million a film now and is nominated for a best actor award in this year's Academy Awards, both of which confirm his status as a superstar. Martin.. hit bank with Big Momma's House  but he's made a couple of movies that should have been sent straight to cable.. What's The Worst That Could Happen?    Black Knight.

Well here comes Will Smith, swooping down with his new Ali toned physique to save the day.. Columbia Pictures announced last week that Bad Boys 2  will go into production soon, slated for a summer 2003 release date. Martin Lawrence and Will Smith will reteam with producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay to make sure that the same energy from the 1995 original is in the sequel. It was rumored that the film would be titled Bad Boys Around the World, but they've seem to have settled for the simpler Bad Boys 2. Columbia Pictures chairman Amy Pascal was all hyped about the project, saying, "It feels good. We're very, very excited." Let me see.. Will gets 20 mil and Martin can get about 12 or 15.. Columbia will make that back in the first week.

I think it's good because, it's two brothers that are the stars, and not that Steven Seagal shit using rappers to sell tickets for bunk ass movies. This is the perfect time too. I thought Bad Boy was just as good as Rush Hour.
