Jam Master Jay: 1965-2002
 

Jason Mizell (aka Jam Master Jay), DJ for hip-hop pioneers Run-DMC, died after being shot in the head at a New York City recording studio. He was 37.

The NY Times paints a picture of a loyal neighborhood guy. Bummer.

Ja. It's pretty fucking retarded, 'cause Run DMC is about as far from gangsta rap as you can get. I grew up listening to "It's Tricky". I hadn't followed his personal life real closely, but everything I've read since Wednesday has been pretty much what I'd assume it to be. Run is a minister if I recall correctly. That's the sort of rappers Run DMC were. Just un-fucking-real that someone would assassinate him.

Run DMC-
 

It seems to me that this was the first rap group to ever break the color barrier on a national scale in the genre of rap music anyway. They shortly thereafter teamed up with Steven Tyler to do a remix of Aerosmith's "walk this way". Run DMC was always a very upbeat sort of group to listen to, and I found out recently that out of every and all three teens I have polled so far, none of them had any idea that Jimmy Pop didn't write "Tricky". Or why he screamed "the singer for def leppard's only got one arm", so many times on the hooray for boobies cd. Run DMC was at one time a very big influence in my own creative endeavors, I surely hope that the guy is still alive under another name because the music of RUN was another very important part of an ongoing movement to open closed minds. It worked wonders for me!

Re: Run DMC-
 

wasnt it the drummer?

~james

And it's in the song "Why's Everybody Always Picking On Me?"... which is on the album "One Fierce Beer Coaster"...

"The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm! The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm! ..."

sorry-
 

Ladies and gentlemen, we would like to present for your viewing and listening pleasure...the man who has three arms! Actually they are legs, but seriously James- I stand corrected. Very well done! And now back to our reguarly scheduled broadKast, K0RN!! Beavis said that they should have called themselves "KORNHOLIO". My life in a nutshell right now with a cartoon character, and currently are running quite low on toilet paper.

; )

yes Dave-
 

I am sure you are every bit as dissapointed I am that Jimmy Pop was running out of creative juice as he secretly planned with the producer to release "one fierce beer coaster" as a mere ploy to make more money upon their greatest CD ever, "Hooray For Boobies". Once again, it is such an awful lot to remember. In fact, I dreaded listening to "one fierce beer coaster" so much in comparison to the pleasures I felt while listening to "hooray for boobies" that I gave it away to a friend the very day I bought it! Even Coal Chamber had a better version of "fire water burn", although it was entitled "sway", which I am just about to do into my bed. Head first, my own I think.

Beer Coaster was released some 4 years before Hooray for Boobies. :)

Tasteless joke of the day:
What has nine arms and sucks?

Def Leppard?

What's red, white and black and gets stuck in revolving doors?

dunno.

A nun with a spear through her head.

Naturally, I like mine better. Yours is still funny, though.

How do you get a nun pregnant?

Fuck her.

Sorry, passed out again-
 

All I remember was creating the stuff and singing it and offering musical direction. It was all recorded the same year, the vocals that is and so I guess it was easy to forget about while working on other projects. I feel like such an idiot sometimes, but in this case it really doesn't seem to be a very bad problem to have. The year was...1984. : )

thats my new favourite joke.

~james

This is something I rediscovered inside one of my original children's books and it is from a joke page.

Q: Mommy, can I lick the bowl?

A: No, you have to flush like everyone else.

:)

Now that is a good one.

How to make a nun moan-
 

Afterwards you roll off of her and then suddenly say "oh no, it must have slipped off".

Yeah Dave, I agree that Def Leppard does suck and only because they are fake! Did you know that when I did the vocals for dead milkmen that I used a retainer for the accompanying voice. "Bitchin' Camero" was a sort of plea for help that fell upon Def Gonadz, male and female alike. There was a part where I said I was going to buy some Motley Crue and some Def Leppard t-shirts because the proceeds would go toward getting their lead singer out of jail.

And now you know another tiny little piece of the rest of the story.

I'm Joe Q Elliot (not that fucking actor chix jizz thinkin' about on MTV)

Good Day

:)

I used to have this vinyl:

But "Punk Rock Girl" from Beelzebubba was my favorite (for a while).

Joe Jack Talcum?

Joe Genaro.

Heh! Either way, Philly represent once again and the amazing coincidences are just getting rolling.

Hey there-
 

I hate to say it, but out of everything I have written and recorded and supplied the mafia with- Dead Milkmen is my absolute fave and I will tell you why. I used two tape recorders to put the vocals together and I wrote every last bit without any outside help (including the music). My parents thought I was crazy and they weren't supposed to know what I was doing at the time. The agents I delivered the work to threatened to kill me in my parent's own back yard if I told anyone about it. I could tell you what inspired me to write any one song, even if it was simply "filler". "Jerry Lewis" was a protest song against the telethon that ruined my labor day as no one had cable service back when it was originally recorded. "Peter Bazooka" was a song about simply trying to doing my so called job in supplying the vocals to the mafia. Members of my family kept interupting me and it really pissed me off, I was doing this as though my life depended on it, well- not always. Anyways, my father supplied the suggestion "all I have to do is put my ear to the wall and I can still hear it all".

Def Leppard's song "let's get rocked" was a protest against my father for complaining about all the time I spent inside my room, again- doing what the mafia expected of me.

At a later date, I recorded the final track upon Ozzy's most recent solo album called "can you hear them", as sort of an auto-biograpical allusion to the craft I was actually pushed beyond the point of insanity to perfect. Someone else wrote the "black sabbath" songs, they slowed my voice down so that I would sound older and at the end of "crazy train" they speeded it back up again.

Just wondering if anyone actually liked Robert Plant's latest solo cd?

Just another boring day of corporate take overs;)Whatever you do Stimpy, do NOT push this button, do you understand? DO YOU?? (For the record, my middle name in real life IS Stuart- like in Charles Stuart the great pretender, but anyway my real life birthday falls on July 22nd. The song "Stuart" was originaly submitted as the SEVENTH song from the top and FOURTH from the bottom (2+2)=22nd, and nobody else could have told you that! Anyways, sayanoro you damn lousy communist muther fuckers who stole my family and community away from me and turned me into own hell of a twisted and illy percieved QUAZIMOTO sort of a mofo! This #1 is 4 YOU! FUCK AEROSMITH AND STEVEN TYLER YOU STUPID JACKASS OF A NEVERMIND ANY FURTHER SIDEKICK YOU ARE QUITE AN ASS ALREADY, JOHNNY KNOXVILLE!!

jimmy fallon, sidenote- why make fun of eighties groups when you are living in the new mellinium? Pay attention to the cover- JEFF P.S. thanx in advance!
