Around SBN: Keith Hernandez Reacts To Gary Carter's Passing

JA RULE: THE BLACK SCOTT STAPP

They came up around the same time, short, gravelly-voiced men whose derivative music and wholehearted embrace of even the most hidebound cliches of their "art" forms made them ideal fodder for the low standards crowd. While Stranko may be obsessed with the vanilla version, we're intrigued by the chocolate power midget rap variation of power rock Jesus: Ja Rule. (We'd use hip-hop here, but doesn't Ja Rule fit more with "rappers" like Skee-lo, Kool Moe Dee, and Chubb Rock, and less with hip-hoppers like Nas and Jay-Z? That's what we thought.)

We swear there's a connection between the normal focus of this blog and Ja Rule...and here it is. Ja Rule is currently crawling in the steam pipes beneath Vanderbilt filming a horror movie, "Furnace." As if this weren't funny enough, Danny Trejo, the pockmarked badass from ConAir and umm...Spy Kids is in it, as well, making it all work for on a $1 million dollar budget and some generous cooperation from the Vandy administration. Just now, some unfortunate Vandy student just leapt from a toilet, paralyzed by the horror of hearing Ja Rule's voice bubbling up from the innards of the pipeworks. It's murdahhhh...

What's my motherfuckin' name? (D-O-N-E...)

I know quite a few people who would insist that Ja Rule is more a pop singer than a rapper or even a hip-hopper. 50 cent slammed him pretty hard on one of his albums, mocking all the “duets” that Ja Rule did with people like Ashanti and others. He’s had quite a few bubble gum sounding chart toppers, that lack any substance whatsoever. I’d say he’s the Chuck Amato of Rappers. Trying to live the thug life but behind it all he’s really just a man boobs sporting white guy with ugly shoes.

Sorry, Scott Stapp is WAYYYY funnier. Plus, I’d be afraid to laugh at Ja lest he go after me like I was 50 Cent. Then we’d need Farrakhan to mediate a truce between Ja and EDSBS.

Kinda OT: Vandy makes a bid for the Fulmer Cup! If only there had been some weapons and/or farm animals involved, this could solidify their cred as Mint Julep Gangstas.

LOL at the Skee-lo reference…can’t believe ANYONE still remembers that embarrassment. Well, except the now unemployed idiot who thought “lo-dawg” would make money.

Hey, easy on the smackdown on Skee-lo and Kool Moe Dee there. Those two maybe weren’t keeping it real, representing, and being generally thugged out, but they evidently were familiar with the English language… Ja Rule doesn’t have an excuse from failing to be dancehall or reggaeton, he’s just a mumbling f**k-wit with no rhymes.

After all, when you have use Ashanti to try and cover up how much you suck, you are at zero Kelvin on the suck-scale. Anyone in that position with a shred of decency or pride would flush themselves down the Vandy Commode-ore tubes.

I suppose I’ve just explained why it hasn’t happened…

So funny that you post this blog on the eve of the now famous and very scary.. Scott Stapp & Kid Rock pornos that have surfaced.. Articles claim that Stapp was quoted in the porno saying, “It’s good to be king of the world.” ha ha
OMG!! This guy is more confused than a blind lesbian in a fish market… Does the trailer park porno help or hurt his popularity contest with Ja Rule? This is the burning question!!!!!!!!

Dude, me and my friends used to run around in the steam tunnels at Carolina just for shits and giggles, and to try to find the “One-Eyed Man” who bites the head off live chickens.

Ah Skee-lo… how fondly I remember the one “rapper” I was “down with” when I was a clueless white boy. Hell, I bought the “I Wish” single and still occasionally fantasize about naming a future child Little Mookie, Big Al or Lorraine. Now that I’m a clueless white man, I realize that while Skee-lo was a flash in the pan, he was also revolutionary in the sense that he broke big with a self-deprecating rap/hip-hop song which aren’t plentiful out there, even today.

Hack, do I recall you getting busted for doing that too?

They’d call him Johhny 600 if they knew the truth….

Chubb Rock could tear a mic down.
