My man Scott Thorough put me on to this. It made me laugh a lot.

Last March, I went to SXSW Music festival in Austin, Texas with Nuclear Family, Cool
Calm Pete, Bisc One, DJ Ese and Loer Velocity. We met up with other fellow New Yorkers Dujeous, and Mikey Palms (who had the crazy expensive hotelroom on the roof sponsored by Red Bull) and painted the town red. It was an amazing time. We came back with hours of video footage. Everyone in the crew was waiting for someone else to edit it. After I figured out no one else was going to, I got off my ass and convinced Snafu to sit down with me and edit it into small episodes. Here’s the first one.

P.S. I know I haven’t posted in a week but, I’ve been busy making music and chillin’. Whatever happened to the days when rappers ain’t hadda be runnin around like your building’s handyman?

Last night I was watching ‘48 hours’ (on laserdisc) with my girl, eating half a chicken with french fries and we got into talking about Eddie Murphy’s “Party All the Time” video, which really was the only Eddie Murphy song I was familiar with. Personally, I don’t even think it’s a bad song, definitely not the #7 worst song of all time (according to VH1’s “50 Worst Songs of All Time”), I could name 50 songs on the radio right now that are much harder to listen to. I actually think it’s a very good song as far as pop-music goes. I mean, it was catchy and about some real shit: His girl just wanted to party all the time. That’s a problem. Who hasn’t had a girl or two that just partied all the time? You need to get rid of those. That’s how diseases are spread. So anyway, I was just gonna post the video for that song and call it a day, but then I thought, “Why not do some research? Maybe I’ll find something more interesting.” And I did.
First of all I didn’t know Eddie was from Brooklyn. I also didn’t know he had a song featuring Shabba Ranks, “I Was a King” in 1993 on Motown. Another thing I didn’t know was that he had a single titled “Put Your Mouth on Me” which came out on Columbia in 1989. The title sounded very promising, but the song was not as sleazy as I hoped. I guess you kinda gotta picture him cruising Santa Monica Boulevard looking for tranny hookers, bumping this. There ya go.


Above is the original “Party All the Time” video, which I found pretty amusing. Below is a group Sharam’s spoof on it which I thought was pretty funny, especially the part where Rick James goes, “Hey Eddie, put your phones on man.”
