Who's The Master? Samuel L. Jackson?

Apparently that will be the answer when he steps into the role of Sho' Nuff in the remake of the cult classic The Last Dragon. The character was infamously brought to life by Julius Carry who passed away this year. I can't help but wonder if he would be turning in his grave or not.

"The updated plot will be along the same lines of the original, centering on young martial arts student Leroy Green in his quest through the streets of New York to achieve the highest level of martial arts accomplishment, known as the Last Dragon. Those who achieve the high ranking possess the Glow, making them the greatest fighter alive."

I mean at first I was like aw naw, hell naw! But when I actually started thinking about it, It may turn out to be pretty dope. They seem to have the right components so far. The original director's son is and RZA is involved. So far so good.

Sam is a pretty good fit, actually a perfect fit for Sho' Nuff that is if Busta Rhymes' isn't available. And since Sam has signed on, maybe he can save it from D movie status. Hopefully they will make it a darker, less campy remake that way my fantasy casty picks are at least achievable! Crossing my fingers.

Happy Halloween

If I thought I could get away with it! I would go Trick or Treating! For real. It's not fair! I like Reese's Pieces too, cotdammit! Too bad I don't have any nieces or nephews old enough to cop for me! But instead, I will be partying like the rest of the grown folk! (Frown) Quick question. Do they still give out those nasty candies in the black and orange wrapper that everyone leaves at the bottom of the bag? They have to be dirt cheap to buy right? Well that's what I'll be serving up the kiddies with tonite! Muaahaahaa!

Later, I'll be getting my spin on! I needed a costume idea so I turned to my fav horror flicks for inspiration. Here they are:

First there was Queen Of The Damned

But then I found out her whole entire outfit will run me around $3500. Okay Plan B.

Then there's Rocky Horror Picture Show

I wanted go as Frankenfurter, but it's too damn cold for that outfit. Rocky Horror was on network TV last night, go figure. Ok, on to Plan C.

Carrie

But then corn syrup wouldn't fare well for my turntables so I decides to go as...drumroll, please...a DJ!!!

Happy Halloween, Folks!

Leftovers- Dreaming

Pharrell And Jay-Z Together Again?

It doesn’t look like Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 is coming out this year. There still hasn’t been a video for “Jockin’ Jay-Z (Dope Boy Fresh).” Matter of fact, there hasn’t been a word about the album in weeks, except that Hov is working on it. The only confirmed information is that Jay and Kanye West have done a bunch of tracks together, and the early talk was that Kanye would be the only producer on the album. That is looking more unlikely now. We’ve been hearing a bunch of rumors about other producers Jay is collaborating with (who shall remain nameless — we don’t do rumors, just facts). But one of those guys spoke to us recently: None other than Pharrell Williams, one of Jigga’s main go-to guys. “Of course,” he said when asked whether Jay had called him to work on Blueprint 3. He then took a long pause before refusing to divulge any more info. “He don’t like for you to say so much.” Williams is working with a lot of artists he can talk about right now. We were in the studio with him recently in Atlanta and had a sneak preview of some beats he did for Diddy and the Clipse. One Puff track that really stuck out has the potential to be huge if Diddy does it right. “Puff’s album is crazy,” Williams promised. “Y’all should know that. It’s pretty serious. It’s innovative. “[Lil] Wayne and I had an interesting conversation,” he added about his slate of production work. “We just did Fall Out Boy. We did Cassie, Jadakiss, going in with Fab[olous]. … I can’t think. It’s a bunch of stuff.”
