Monday Madness: "Rockstar" and Blue Magic

Posted on September 24, 2007 9:00 AM

Wassup y'all. I'm not gonna front, I am still recovering from a serious hangover this weekend (shout out to Mark, the bartender at Negril's on West 3rd Street in the Village, by the way, thanks for the free shots of Jack Daniels!), so I'm going to keep this entry on the brief side.

So, basically here we go.... "I'm A Flirt"... the Rocker-style mix.

Even though Kells is a little late arriving to the party like a rockstar movement, you gotta admit it... when he jumps on something... he DESTROYS it like a 14 year old's @sshole (You can debate amongst yourselves whether that should be a good or a bad connotation).

When I saw the headliners of this video, it threw me for a minute. If someone told me a year ago that R.Kelly was going to do a song with Ludacris and Kid Rock, I probably would've given you a "WTF?!" face. But now... it all makes sense.

Just take a good look at the video's setting, which we shall name Anyhicktown, USA. Of COURSE they picked this kind of place to "throw their concert": after the show, R. Kelly can crossover his "R in MolesteR" status into the underage white chick population (which may actually be LEGAL in this town -- WHOO HOO KELLS!), while Kid Rock and Luda can compete over how many trashy& drunk blondes will teabag their nuts at the end of the night (I'm sorry... I love you Ludacris, but I just can't get over that Paris Hilton fling... I mean, really my dude, do you WANT to be popping Valtrex with your Patron on a daily basis?)

On a serious note though, I am feeling this joint, EXCEPT for the fact that the only role Kid Rock plays in this song/video is for 1) screaming on the track and 2) is Kelly's and Luda's access into the club. I was really hoping for him to do his "Cooooowbooooy, baaabbbaaaay" thing, but, ehh, what can you do. What's your opinion of the track/video?

To wrap up today's post, I'm going to leave y'all with a clip of the Jay-Z/Pharrell "Blue Magic" trailer. This was directed by Rik Cordero, and of course, is inspired by the upcoming "American Gangster" film.

Was I the only one watching this with a "hunh" face? Holla @ me.

WHO LOVES YA BABY?

    Yeah, I think you're the only one. Let me break it down for the folk (you), who didn't get it. He portrayed Rocafella as a Drug Operation with the end user (buyer) being the DJ [Hence DJ Clue's stop at the Ice Cream Truck]. The whole video was a metaphor of the process that drugs go through in order to get to the streets. A package of drugs (music) is picked up, broken down, packaged, and re-distributed. Enjoy.

  • Peace and love to all of you who visit this site.....Even those of you who talk down on me for some reason..... I would like to plead with all of you at this moment, in all sincerity.... I believe we are living in the last days my bretheren....No politician, or political movement will be able to save us from the wrath to come....... I plead with all of you at this moment, in all love and sincerity, to repent from your sins, and give your life totally over to JESUS CHRIST...... He loves you with a supernatural love that can not be explained on this physical level....amen...... Hell is real.....The devil is real.... and he' is seeking to steal kill and destroy everything that we hold dear to us and love...... But Jesus came that we may have life and live it more abundantly.......put not your trust in these material things, or these idols my family, because they will perish! The time is coming for us to make a decision about eternity.... what will happen to your soul when you die bretheren? you will spend it in 1 of 2 places.... Either in eternal bliss and love with our father in heaven, or in eternal damnation and torture in hell.....My family, stop looking to various people, materials, idols,ect. for true love.....they will not fill that void....that's why many of us are suffering from various addictions and bondages, because we are trying to fill a void only the love of the true God can fill.......... He is not mad at you my bretheren..... He wants you to come home, so that he may reveal to you how great a love he has for you....... The time is now family......To walk in the light and get out of the darkness.......JESUS loves all of you.......No matter what you have done, he is willing to forgive AND forget...... Repent from those sins that so easily ensare you.......Don't worry about phony church goers and preachers.... the devil uses them to chase you away....... Pray to the lord that he may enter your heart, pick up the bible and find out who JESUS really is!!! He is alive and seated at the right hand of the Father..... he knows what your going through....Just turn to him....And he will give you Life............. By no means am I judging any of you.......The lord just wants you to know that he cares for you and loves you more than you can comprehend......... PLEASE take these words to heart, and let JESUS be the Lord of your Lives..........


    GOD bless all of you....You are all more than conquerers, Peace and Love be multiplied to all of you....Please give your life to JESUS........Time is short...........

    Thank you for reading!
