WE DO THE MASHED POTATO AND THE FUNKY CHICKEN

Who am I kiddin', who am I foolin'

Posted over 2 years ago
Thursdays are great days for me. Today looks like its going to be shaping up to be quite nice. Its already 80 degrees out, and its only 10 oclock, I feel a day spent at the park is in order. Thursdays also are library days for my son and I, this means new books for him, new music for me. Last week I scored big time and checked out the new El-P, Tindersticks, the Strokes and Minneapolis favorites the Olympic Hopefuls. I am not sure what I might find today, but I hope it is something I can add to my soccer mix for tonight. One artist that is already on the mix is Fatlip. As a member of The Pharcyde, he contributed to the critically acclaimed Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde as well as the follow-up release Labcabincalifornia. After the relase of the Labcabincalifornia album, Fatlip was kicked out of the group for leaving the supporting tour for their second album in favor of working on his own solo efforts. In 2005 he released his solo debut, The Loneliest Punk. It was also released with a single, What's Up Fatlip. The music video was directed by Spike Jonze and goes against everything you have come to expect of hip hop videos today. The song is a classic, and the video is one that you would not see many artists put out. No guns, bitches or bling........ just a sorry ass clown.

  3. Cody B says WAAAA, the video won't play for me. Love the escalator though. Pharcyde/Fatlip defintitely had something really good going on for a minute there.

  5. TroyPowers says I was so disappointed when I saw Pharcyde (opening for Busta, I think) and there were only two of them left. I think it was Imani and Booty Brown. Unfortunately, Fatlip and Slimkid were the better rappers.

  9. Lizziegreeneyes says wot da heck doooooode ... I can *NEVER* watch your video clips if they're in your original post, but if you post something in the comments section, "it's all good" - to quote the late/great Billie Holiday. Uggggggg 15 seconds is _far too short_ for this lovely lady ... ;)

  15. Augusts1 says That's probably where Kev. I've only been on here since Jan. 8th so it wasn't that long ago. And yes I know you have a regular life but really, is it more important than your Mog life? Sheesh, get some priorities wouldya? LOL @ ; )

  19. Rawkkiddoh says this coming from a "bond" girl........you have it so easy Lizzie

  20. Lizziegreeneyes says (Octopussy - that's me) ;) but don't tell anyone, it's our secret !!!! Besides, the only Bond guy worth a damn was Sean C. & he's just a tad too .... well something about him makes him a less likely candidate ... not sure what it is :)

  21. Rawkkiddoh says Come on, Roger Moore had a goo run at it as well, and the verdict still out on the new guy. I will wait until the next movie to decide if he is Bond worthy
    Permalink posted 05/13/2007
  22. Lizziegreeneyes says Nope, I've studied this for years now ... Moore was _passable_ at best, Sean was a Scottish LOVE & great British secret agent !!! Timothy Dalton - yeah right, Pierce Brosnan - way too tan for a British secret agent, don't care if you *are* James Bond, & who the hell are Daniel Craig & James Lazenby anyway ???
