Word As Bond
It's late, mang! And ... well ... I'm late, mang! But shiiiit. I was on the back bays of dirty Jerz, fishin' and drinkin' beers and smokin' reefer with my cousins! Boy was it fun. I mean, we're just layin' back, the sun's beatin' down on us, the boat's bobbin' up and down, the fish were bitin' (I caught a 15.5-inch flounder that you would've thought I could take home, but it fell short of the 16.5-inch regulation size), and so were the greenheads. Greenheads are these bugs (did I tell y'all about greenheads yet?) that breed on the marshes and attack like kamikaze fighter planes, diving straight into your arm or leg or any unprotected piece of flesh, head first, already in bite-and-suck position, and you got like 1.5 seconds to smash 'em before it's too late and you get stung. Then it's about 20 minutes till you develop this big ol' bump that itches like a mother.
So anyways, I was fishin' with the fam and eating BBQ and seafood Italiano and I'm not mad at me for coming back and getting this here Holler in a little late. I actually just got back from my new uptown gig at Umbrella in Dominicanville. This blanquito loco knows how to drop some Tego, so don't think I was up there playing Justin Timberlake. Hell no. Well, at least not "Like I Love You." A little bit of "Rock Your Body" never hurt nobody! Of course, "Lean Back" was played back-to-back a few times, alongside the Tego remix. Can't forget "Otra Noche" and ... I forget the other big ones. I don't know what the hell they're saying, but I do know what Reggae-Ton does to the Spanish folks.
Speaking of "Lean Back," how many people think the video is a huge let down? All the stuff Fat Jesus could've done, and he puts together some dancin' hos and the VIP bottle thing and that's it? Herbert thinks the song merits a more harcore, more gritty edge to it, like a video Nas would do ("Made You Look" and "Theif's Theme") mixed with Jay-Z's "99 Problems." Wait a minute. Come to think of it, maybe "Grand Larceny" knew exactly what he was doing! He already has a gritty, gangsta song, so maybe a sexy, party vibe video is exactly what he needs to extend his reach and pull in whatever ladies and pop-smeared fellas out there that don't like their steaks too rare. I see you now, Joseph. I respect your gangster.
'Member that boating excursion where I lost my shorts whilst tubing? Well, I also lost my glasses that day, so I got these new joints that are really nice. Very ... intelligent gangster, very handsome. I've left behind the oval shape in favor of a new, more flattering rectangular look. You see, I have a big head (hence all the nicknames like "Head Alert," "FrankenJew," and the recent masterpiece "Domer Simpson," coined by my FREEDOM co-pilot, DJ Cosi), and the wider, lengthier look provided by the rectangular shape of the lens sort of balances out the peak at the top of my head, inevitably minimizing the extraordinarily large cranium size.
Not.
Well ... whatever. At least I got a hot party. Freedom was off the hook last week, and with MTV2's UrbanWorld Film Festival afterparty in the house, things definitely got outta hand. Big up to DJ Wonder from Hot 97, DJ J. Period, Soulfinger Sam, Wicked Wayne, Playa, and DJ Sure Shot. And of course, big big up to the 379 people that came through.
See you tomorrow night,
P.S. -- Mazel Tov, Jon and Kim. Bring me back some salmon!
