Recession Hitting Everyone

You know how I like my rap...one of my co-workers sent this clip to me yesterday about how Slim Thug is feeling the recession. It's from The Daily Show. It's pretty funny...give it a watch.

Happy Juneteenth!!!

I can't believe I forgot today is Juneteenth. Looks like some of your states don't officially observe it (yet), but I'm sure we'll celebrate big here in Texas tonight. And I see North Carolina does observe it. Luke....

This one's for North Carolina! C'mon and raise up

Take your shirt off, twist it 'round yo' hand

Spin it like a helicopter

Swing Low, Sweet Chariot

Keeping It Real

From News 8 Austin:

Police are looking for two men after eight people were shot overnight at a nightclub in Downtown Austin.

Police said warrants have been issued for 25-year-old Brandon Bruce Hutchison, also known as “Big Hutch” and 21-year-old LaBaaron Demon Hutchison, also known as “Lil Hutch,” charging them with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

If you read the story you'll see these knuckleheads are part of a rap group that was the opening act last night at this nightclub, but failed to show up.  When they showed up at closing time they were denied entrance and went back to their cars and came back armed.

Uh...doesn't seem to make sense.  Why would they open up fire on the crowd which probably included some of their own fans?

Now I Know Where Luke Gets It

Note:  Most of the links in this posting would be considered NSFW (unless you are Ben or John)

Lukey Love is arguably the best rapper in the Phatboys. I can remember many a night jamming to his free styling back in the day.

The other day headed back to the office from Popeye's for lunch; I had the pleasure of entertaining some of my co-workers with The Last Mr. Bigg "Trial Time" (a.k.a. - JT and Lisa's wedding song; a.k.a. - take that sh!t to trial).  Side note: check out these dudes on YouTube.  My favorite part is when he imitates the mother telling him it's hot down here.

Back to the story.  This prompted a ton of questions about the slang, Mr. Bigg's life, and other things that I'm not sure about.  Out of curiosity (and since I didn't have John, the source of most of my hip-hop knowledge) I checked to see what I could find out about The Last Mr. Bigg on Wikipedia. 

Lukey Love is from LA (Lower Alabama).  Mr. Bigg is from LA.  Coincidence...I think not.  Now we know where Luke gets his mad rappin' skills...from his cousin, Mr. Bigg.

I also want to point out that Mr. Bigg sports a $100K diamond in place of his left eye.  If you continue reading the article it says that Mr. Bigg lays claim to one of the most ghetto songs of all time called "Long Hair".  I probably need to hear the song a few more times before I'm completely sold, but there are some choice lyrics you should check out.  I won't dirty up this blog by posting them here, but I know Lukey's new slogan should be:

So throw your hands in the m f'ing air

And show some love to an Alabama playa
