Some Sunday chill…
Hi
Gotta love Sundays…catching up on the weekend news, usually pretty relaxing in most respects. I woke up this morning and listened to some High Places, pretty relaxing. I included a song and live performance below, I recommend you give them a listen when you want to just zone out, this stuff is great through the headphones:
High Places – From Stardust To Sentience
Other things going on across the web…Covert Curiousity has steps on how to configure your Austin City Limits widget • Rolling Stone has a good list of The 25 Funniest Web Videos (No, Really!) • Hypeful has 150 cover songs of the 3 pop stars over 50 (Michael, Madonna and Prince) • The Superficial seriously made me LOL with their review of Lynne Spear’s (Brit’s mom) book • Songza is looking to be a very cool music search engine and internet jukebox • BBC News did an interesting piece on how your music taste links to your personality, not sure I agree on the Indie one
And I tried to save the best for last, Faith Evans: Biggie’s Wife Muses On Lil’ Kim Ass Whipping
Biggie Smalls was one of the greatest rappers of our generation. Way nicer lyrically than the more iconic Tupac, his fellow murdered MC. Another point in favor of Biggie: he had a crazier wife. That would be Faith Evans, the Bad Boy R&B singer who is most famous for—let’s be honest—being Biggie’s wife. Now Faith has written an autobiographical book, and although I’m sure there’s lots in there about empowerment, mourning, etc., check out this part where she sneaks into Biggie’s house, pulls Lil Kim out of his bed, and beats her ass!:
I got to Big’s bedroom door, turned the knob, and went inside. As soon as I saw a small lump next to Big’s large frame, I flew into a rage, ran over to the side of the bed, and pulled back the covers. I grabbed some chick out of the bed and started beating her a—. At some point, the chick’s wig came off in my hand: It was a short, cropped wig. I stopped throwing punches for a minute to get a good look at the chick I was beating up. It Lil’ Kim. She was completely butt-naked, yelling as I pushed her around the room.
“So you’re not f—-ing her, right?” I screamed at Big. “Yeah, you not messing with her anymore right?”
When they heard the commotion, Cease, D-Roc, and Gutter came running into the room.
“Oh s—-!” they yelled in unison. “It’s Faye! How the hell she get in here?”
Big sat up in bed and pointed at Kim, who was standing in a corner of the room, trying to cover her naked body with her hands and while I was still yelling at Big.
“Yo, get her outta here,” Big said. They led Kim out of the room and she screamed and cursed the whole way.
