2pac Loved Biggie!!!!

Or at least he loved the way he rapped so it seems. While scanning Worldstar for its rare videos that inspire, empower, or educate, I came across Pac and Big’s infamous freestyle from 1993 which was being featured as a throwback video of the week. It’s just so sad to see this and know that eventually they would fall out and participate in one of the most notorious hip hop feuds of our time.

If we’ve learned anything from these two, its to put the guns down and pick up a mic!

****RARE JAY Z**** ‘MOST KINGS’ (GET THEIR HEAD CHOPPED OFF)

I remember this phenomenal verse to the Grammy Family freestyle Jay ripped a while back on Hot 97 but I just don’t remember it ever being released as a song. I know you remember it too! If you’re like me, you were wondering where the hell it came from and then where the hell did it go…Well, here it is!!! Jay-Z – Most Kingz (Feat. Chris Martin) HQ

And don’t be a hater and get mad because it wasn’t a real off the dome freestyle….it’s still lyricism at its finest!!!

Mos Def, Jeffrey Wright To Star In Broadway Play “A Free Man of Color”

Mos Def is heading to Broadway in the upcoming production of “A Free Man of Color” starring alongside Tony, Emmy and Golden Globe Award winning actor Jeffrey Wright. You may remember Wright for his most recent role in the film Cadillac Records playing Muddy Waters.

The play, written by John Guare (think Six Degrees of Separation circa 1990, film adaption featuring Will Smith), is set in New Orleans 1801. Wright plays Jacques Cornet, “a new world Don Juan and the wealthiest inhabitant of this sexually charged and racially progressive city. Jacques thinks all is well in his paradise until history intervenes, setting off a chain of events which no one, much less this free man of color, realizes is about to splinter the world.”

Also starring in the film is Joseph Marcell (Geoffrey the butler from “The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air”).

“A Free Man Of Color” is set for October 21 at the Vivian Beaumont Theater in New York City.

No Father Deserves the Montana Fishburne Porno Treatment

Jacked from the Mo’ Kelly Report (Morris W. O’Kelly (Mo’Kelly is author of the syndicated entertainment and socio-political column The Mo’Kelly Report.)

There are hundreds of jokes that could be made here but none of them would really be funny. Montana Fishburne is the daughter of Hajna Moss-Fishburne and celebrated, world-famous actor Laurence Fishburne. Montana, in her effort to launch her career in porn, did her best to embarrass and hurt her father… and to that end, probably succeeded.

What she gained in the process, Mo’Kelly isn’t sure. What she lost, is too much for words to adequately express and convey. … Continue Reading
