Yo, yo he got his stones from Greece

Yea.....that's right
Hardy Boys shit...uh huh
Smoke a Winston to this shit nigga
Word up bout to fuckin' throw ya head up, Yea

Yo, yo he got his stones from Greece
In mouth he had like thirty plus karats
Big ratchets, smoke cigars like a Bogart classic
Told niggaz if he dies he want a glass casket
Parents died when he was five years old
Made his way inside the US with Columbian Gold
A fake name and a passport
Benetton luggage, one sister, pretty thing, light skin
Niggaz will body over her like fuck it
With a scar by her left eye
Her brother Alex was extremely close, he sold coats and minks
Had trays put in toilets and sinks
Loved to roller skate, ninety nine did time up in Rahway
Came home blown, the thorough kings and soldiers
Never gave a fuck about that MC beef in Queens
Alex, he was a rich nigga
He had close to ten bodies under his belt
His man did the last one and got murdered himself
Took him a while to get his head together
Alex one day out in LA, made a call in New York
Told his man Oc, God it's goin' down, fly the whole team in for support
Remember that Ray shit that Jamie Foxx played? That was my shit
I never got paid, they got rich off a stolen script
In ninety eight I seen Charles on the Cali strip
Showed him the copyrights, his life in the real flick
In Braille, he read it in no time
Hit me with his math, said I'll give you some more lines
Real talk, stand up dude
Said how you like Jamie Foxx to replay you? He said yea that's cool
But under one circumstance, you think he can bow my walk, flip my talk and my hands?
I said sure why not, he can imitate anything trust me this young boy hot
Shook his hand then I bounced in the limo
Grabbed my cell, bit my cigar and then rolled down the window
Contacted Stony Brook and Roberts
Told them we got it in ten ?, yo Ray Ray signed it
Now we can move on and shoot this live shit
With mad options, Paramount and DreamWorks we shop it
Or Mandalay and New Line cop it
I go and get ten mil' and blow it on the independent market
But anyway down in PF Chains, I had a meeting with this rich investor
Said they'll throw twenty million on the kid's film only if he chose the cast
He was drunk, he was talkin' real fast
So I test his mouth, laid back then I put him on blast
Where exactly we gon' get this cash?
I gotta ill Gotti Gigante connect
Wise guys that kill Bulotti, catching bodies, earnin' respect
The waiter came in a dropped off the shrimp fried rice he ordered
I said thanks as he poured my water
Then out came the veggie rolls, sesame chicken and mint tea
Rice wine had me wanting to pee
Said excuse me I'll be right back, pardon me
Grabbed his glass and he nodded to me
Skated off to take a piss, the shit felt like a nut
Got back the dude vanished, briefcase, script, and all
Ask the waiter where he go, the motherfucker spoke Spanish

I am the last post of 2007, too.

Elvis Smith Watches Trini TV

In response to Eli's post of a few weeks ago , I've found a contemporary copy of the songs discussed:

Brent's TV - Trinidad (or maybe it's the other way around)

I first heard this song on a mixtape my brother made in highschool. Coincidentally, he had it on his walkman while we were vacationing in Vietnam and I listened to the song over and over, as that summer, in Saigon, I fell in love with the girl who lived behind my Aunt's house.

Plantman

"Plantman" by Gary Young was one of my favorite videos in high school. If you think about it, this song has many layers of meaning. This is his second biggest hit, after "Antman."

Happy birthday Vijay, Vijay it's your birthday!

The King lives

Continuing Keith's "songs you've heard before" theme, Elvis Presley - "Marie's The Name (His Latest Flame)" reminds me of some other song that I can't recall. The Smiths cover it: "Rusholme Ruffians". Can someone think of a contemporary copy of this song?*

BONUS: You're going to hate me for this song when the chorus gets stuck in your head and haunts your dreams - Hot Chip - "The Warning"... hot chip will break your legs/ snap off your head...

*thanks to Eve Tushnet's mix-cd for the elvis and smiths songs.
