RAP IS OUTTA CONTROL PART 2:
Comic Steve-O is recording an album, which he deems to be a “comedy gangsta rap” CD.
The controversial shock actor made the announcement on the “Carson Daly Show” even though his plans have been well known.
He told Daly that he’s working with the beat maestros affiliated with a controversial Hip-Hop collective.
“Some producers of the G-Unit are collaborating with me for my new, Universal Records comedy gangsta rap album,” he said. “I’m the only guy dumb enough to try to give Hip-Hop a sense of humor.”
Steve-O told the audience that he’s pleased that he’s become a regular part of the paparazzi coverage through his shocking exploits, like stapling his scrotum to his thigh. He shared one of the “lies” with Daley.
“There was [rumor] that said I got beat up by the G-Unit and I enjoyed it,” he said. “I enjoyed every minute of it, [according to the tabloids].”
A few years ago, Steve-O recorded a song with Kool G Rap called “Poke The Puss” and rapped a portion of it on the show.
On a previously released mixtape, Steve-O calls himself “The dumbest a**hole in Hip-Hop.”

KIDS WANT TO KILL THE PRESIDENT? NOT SURPRISING, LOL!

BLAOW! BUCKSHOT.
For Kenyatta Blake aka Buckshot’s interview, I started out by asking him promo questions regarding his album, The Formula, scheduled to be released April 29th. But the rapper of the legendary hip-hop group Boot Camp Clik and Black Moon, responses felt mechanical, and, as he was talking, the sound of overbearing sirens made it hard to hear him over the speaker phone. When I asked him where he was, he assured me “I’m in my office in Manhattan.” After this pivotal moment in our interview, I decided to switch gears.
Knowing the most basic rule in Journalism (which is to keep your opinions and thoughts out, period), I was backed against the wall by compassion that had started to manifest. Not only did my socio-political questions fuel Buckshot’s fire, but for a hot minute, I became the target of his valid frustration.
Ultimately, no matter how controversial Buckshot’s answers may be, (and I questioned whether the interview should even be published), they are the truth. Even if he didn’t say it outright, his message is that everyone, no matter how insignificant they may seem, is an ambassador of something. So take responsibility.
“The president is the best McDonalds manager in the world man. Even our country is like McDonalds, it really is a fast-food joint for real!”
BHH: In your opinion, do you think that America is ready for a black president?
Buckshot: Of course they’re ready for a black president! But they’re not gonna get a black president. If a person ever told you that they don’t believe in you, or nothing you do, or what you do is really a joke. How could something like that still exist in today’s society? How could you even ask that type of question? How could it not strictly be based upon, whether he can do the job or not? How is it in today’s time, in 2008, it’s still a question of a fuckin’ black president? You know it’s funny man, again, Merrill Lynch, all these politicians, everything they do is over [the visible minorities] money. We’re the biggest consumers of the world! Our problem is that we’re the biggest consumers of the world, yet we are the minority. Rich people don’t get rich don’t get off of rich people. The part of being rich is to stay rich, how could you get rich if you spend money? So think about it! Poor people spend money, ‘cause they don’t wanna get rich, they wanna get by.
BHH: I’ve encountered young black citizens born and raised in America who have said themselves that although they are going vote for Obama they don’t think America is ready for a black president.
Buckshot: Whose ready, a white man? Because of his wife? Think about it, you don’t know nothin’ about ‘em. In this day and time, we are so stupid. You’re gonna actually entertain a conversation that says ‘I’m gonna vote for [Obama] but I don’t think they’re ready for a black president.’ That’s letting you know that black people have a problem, or black people are pragmatic, or something is with black people. I really am amazed by that. Because what it says is the opposite. It says that McCain should be taken seriously for three reasons: he’s a Vietnam vet, he knows politics and that he’s white. So if [the term] white still has the power that it did from back in the day like ‘Oooh. He’s white!’ then I’ma have that ‘Oooh. He’s Black shit’ and I’ma start telling black people in the neighborhoods that the white people are starting to move in now. Fuck them up! Start snapping shit at them when they come. How would you like that? Would that be positive? For the past twenty years that we’ve keep saying ‘Be peaceful, no violence, everybody get a long.’ Now should I turn to my black people and rob them when they come home? Stop having love for them? Start busting their windows so they can get the fuck out they neighborhood because that’s how black people act?
“You can call me a tyrant all the hell you want; but I am gonna say, if Barack Obama don’t win – y’all need to flip out.”
BHH: It’s funny when you bring this stuff up. When Bill Clinton does his speeches, he brings in $475,000 dollars, which is double his salary when he served as president. He and Hilary both bring in more than $109 million dollars in their different entities, and it just makes you realize, what is the value of being a president really worth?
Buckshot: That’s the illusion right there. You don’t have no power as a president; you can’t do nothin’ as a president. I don’t understand how we as a people could know so much, but still keep following the old tradition and stupid ways. It’s called tradition.
BHH: Okay. But, what makes you say that they have absolutely no power?
Buckshot: You know what? You’re right. He has a little bit of power because the manager of McDonald’s can tell you which way the fries go, and he can tell you how to make a burger, or to keep the floors clean, but he’s still the manager of McDonalds. He does not own McDonalds, he’s not the boss. The president is not our boss; he is a manager of our country. He is the manager, OK? He’s not the CEO or the owner, even he will tell you that because he has to get voted in. And that means if he has to get voted in, somebody else must be the owner of this country. We as people are voting, for who is the best manager. I don’t understand how we can’t know these things. It’s right on the internet, it’s right in books, it’s right in front of you! But you’re still gonna believe in traditional politics that you don’t even know nothing about, except for, vote or don’t vote. You hear stuff like ‘We’re gonna make a change in the economy’ You don’t even what type of economy let alone what type of changes to make in it. What do you truly know about any of this or anything that really goes on?
BHH: Let’s switch gears for a second. Let’s look at Robert Mugabe who is the president of Zimbabwe. Apparently, he’s being called a deadly tyrant. Recently he’s been telling a lot of black citizens in Zimbabwe to take back what’s theirs which has resulted in white farmers being forced off of their property. What’s your opinion on that because I’m sure that presidency in some countries in Africa is a completely different thing then it is in North America.
Buckshot: He’s being seen as a tyrant by everybody in the black community that lives there?
BHH: He’s being seen as a tyrant in general.
Buckshot: There’s strength in numbers. So, you got 50% of a whole bunch of people on one side that are not from Zimbabwe, got nothing to do with it, don’t know nothing about that situation, all they know is some guy is being mean because he’s telling people to get out. Then you have the ones who live there, who are a part of it, who feel what they’re going through. Let me tell you something man, I don’t know about you as an individual, but if anybody who you know don’t know what it feels like to have no water, no food for a few days, ‘cause I physically know what it feels like to starve. I know what it feels like to have no money to even buy Chinese food for two days.
All these people [on the outside] need to mind their own business because they can’t relate to that. You can’t relate to the struggle until you’ve been in it. And now all of a sudden because of 9/11, you can relate to it? Or, being heartfelt or caring? It takes a bomb to drop on your head, or it takes you to get to a point where you have nothing in order to bring your care out? It becomes a thing for you to be involved somebody else’s business, but you can’t do nothin’ about [their situation]? Let me ask you a question, is it a black thing? Because it’s happening in Brooklyn, it’s happening in Manhattan, it’s happening all over the country, and it’s happening out of the country, and you’re gonna tell me it has nothing to do with black people? Yet, you’re gonna say a statement that black people are not ready for a black president? What’s going on? Talk to me, for real!
BHH: I don’t think it’s about whether America is ready for a black president but whether it’s really going to happen…
Buckshot: I think that I’m gonna say this to black people. You can call me a tyrant all the hell you want. I’ma die on this earth whether I was a good tyrant, bad tyrant, super-duper guy… the best guy in the world. I’m gonna die without your opinions, and none of your opinions is gonna keep me alive. So I really don’t care. But I am gonna say, if Barack Obama don’t win – y’all need to flip out. Y’all need to Spaz out. I feel like Malcolm X telling people that. At one time I would have never told people that, I would have told you we had to get back to certain ways and look at things differently, and I still believe that too. But I also believe that we’ve been trying so many other methods, and the only one that ever really worked, or when they left black people alone is when we started gettin’ on some militant ‘fuck that shit.’
From the `60s,`70s, to the `80s, corporate America, white America, whatever the hell the America, [that’s the only time] they said ‘You know what, we’re not gonna get involved in urban politics or urban problems.’
If Barack don’t win, those people are tellin’ you ‘Don’t worry, we’ll throw this in your face again, and you’re gonna go for it again, and you’re gonna have it again, and understand it again. Because you knew that we would never put one of your kind in office. We would never put your kind around us. You’re a kind. I would never really allow your kind; the only reason why we allow your kind to get a little bit of props is because we recognized that 70 to 80 per cent of our money comes from your kind.’ If every minority says we’re not movin’ nowhere today, white America, corporate America and everybody else, they would die, and everything else.
Rich white people need black and Mexican people to work their minimum low wage, and I try to keep it away from the white thing. I just try to keep it just to be on some people shit. But you can’t tell that to white America who is like, ‘Y’all would never have a black president. That guy right there would never win the presidency because he don’t know how to talk right, or because he used to do this bad shit.’ Why it gotta be ‘Are you ready for a black president?’ Of course I’m ready for a fuckin’ black president; it shouldn’t never be an issue, period. We know that there were a bunch of grumpy old white mutha-fuckin devils who sat around and said ‘We not lettin’ nobody else in but our kind.’ If that’s not a slap in the face to you, why you keep spending your money and supporting the system?
“All these people [on the outside] need to mind their own business because they can’t relate to that; all of a sudden because of 9/11, you can relate to it?”
BHH: GIANT magazine recently shed light on Malcolm Shabazz, Malcolm X’s grand-son. He says that to carry on such a legacy can actually be more burdensome than people realize, hence the reason to him having such a troubled upbringing. On the outside looking in, do you empathize with him and where he’s coming from? Do you agree that being the seed from one of the greatest leaders to have ever lived could be more of a curse than a blessing?
Buckshot: Of course it could be. It’s funny. My middle name is Shabbazz. So, I was actually named after Malcolm X, and it’s so funny how I have a lot of his spirit and DNA code in me. Because I could understand how he didn’t like white people, then he had an understanding for white people, he really loved them. He had an understanding for humanity at the end of his life and that’s what got him killed. So yeah, I sympathize with shorty because it’s hard to have that type of pressure when you’re not [consciously trying to be that] person who has knowledge, wisdom and understanding. Your whole goal and function in life is to the creator and to keep things balanced. Yet, you’re faced with being consumed by money, material, and monetary things.
But I don’t do it for that. I don’t do what I do to be a good guy, or to be a bad guy. I do what I do just to be. A lot of people out there, they know what time it is. You know, they know that even if you rockin’ dreadlocks , with frankincense and myrrh, and a big fat backpack and all that, they’re just trying to find their way. They haven’t found themselves yet. And I give them credit and respect because at least they trying. Because a lot of people really ain’t tryin’, so that should really be the issue man.
The president is the best McDonalds manager in the world man. Even our country is like McDonalds, it really is a fast-food joint for real! You don’t know where your food comes from. You don’t know how your food is made. It isn’t natural. Everything is artificial, and everyone works like Mexicans – for no money. If you wanna save money on taxes hire a bunch of Mexican’s huh! You see?
It was beautiful talking to you, and this out of every interview that I’ve done, this is probably the best. I didn’t really talk too much about hip-hop, but I talked about other important things. But The Formula is droppin’ April 29th. The important thing is for people to go buy the album, but I thank you for bringin’ this type of interview, period.
