A Few Questions...

- Isn't it cute in Lloyd's new song that totally jacks the beat to Eric B. & Rakim's "Paid In Full" when Weezy playfully jacks the opening of Rakim's verse ("I'm thinking of a master plan...")? I guess that's what you call "Recycling, R-E-Reciting..."



- Is Will Smith ever going to play a dickhead who STAYS a dickhead and doesn't get rehabilitated at some point in his film's running time? Don't you want to see him in a Neil LaBute play as a raving misogynist? Just ONCE in my life, I want to see Will Smith call someone a "cunt." Where's David Mamet when you need him?

How great would it be to see Smith in a role like this?



- Why does it get harder to give a fuck about Wu-solo albums not involving Ghostface? I wanted so badly to care about RZA's new Digi Snax but all I could muster was a love for lead single "You Can't Stop Me Now." There's just such an abundance of side-projects and spin-offs that I only have a finite amount of give-a-fuck juice for my Wu-bredren.



- Is it just me, or does all of network television seem irrelevant after the WGA strike? It's really hard for me to get into shows anymore. All I do now is worry about the impending Actors' strike, and we know actors are a lot less reasonable than writers.



- After watching Wanted, don't you wish Morgan Freeman and Samuel L. Jackson would team up in a buddy movie about two hitmen who run around spouting cool one-liners, cursing and being generally awesome? Don't you wish they were both your really cool uncles who bought you booze when you were sixteen and would talk your mom into getting you cooler gifts? Doesn't the word "fuck" just sound so good coming out of their mouths?



It does.

It so does.
