Movie/Music Collision Quote of the Day

"You can even tell that muthaf---in' Jesse Jackson/ Pay your child support/ Keep your payments up/ Put a rubber on"


- Ice Cube, on the new Westside Connection album, responding to Rev. Jackson's criticism of Barbershop. Somewhere along the way, Cube also manages to take shot at Samuel L. Jackson, too, for complaining about rappers-turned-actors.

I miss this Ice Cube. Now if only he had something to say about Iraq....

Manipulative Restatement of the Day

"If only I wasn't Black. Then people would stop sweating me for contributing to the cultural erosion of the Black community, the further objectification of Black women, and increased demonization of young Black men while I'm lining my pockets. It's SO unfair!"

- my shamelessly manipulative paraphrasing of a lament from BET founder Robert Johnson over the difficulties he faces in his career, from an article found in today's L.A. Times.
