Freaknik The Musical
Some of the biggest names in music and entertainment (Snoop Dogg, Andy Samberg, Kelis, T-Pain etc…) provide the voice overs for this comedic animated redux of the notorious ‘Freaknik’ from ATL of years past. Freaknik was second to none in terms of pure niggorance, and made the average episode of BET Uncut look like Sesame Street by comparison. My one year at Jackson State back in the early 90’s is all the proof I need that this cartoon; no matter how over the top it is-will probably still fall short of the real insanity and random foolishness that Freaknik represented before it was shut down circa 99. Freaknik The Musical arrives this Sunday the 14th on Adult Swim.

Black Panther Animation Coming To BET
Jacked from MTV’s Splash Page
The series is written and co-produced by Reginald Hudlin, and premiered this month on Australian children’s channel ABC3. Djimon Hounsou voices Black Panther, king of the African nation of Wakanda. Comics fans will certainly appreciate the John Romita Jr. art used in the intro (or at least, it sure looks like Romita’s art) from the “Who Is the Black Panther?” story arc authored by Hudlin and Romita.
Along with Hounsou as T’Challa, Stan Lee provides the voice of General Wallace, JB Blanc voices The Black Knight and (wait for it…) Batroc, Kerry Washington voices Princess Shuri and Jill Scott provides the voice of X-Men member Storm. The series currently has no air date/network set for the U.S., but let’s keep our fingers crossed, shall we?

Ali-G Deadpool Variant Cover
J. Scott Campbell spazzes out on this Deadpool variant cover for the current Marvel Siege mega-event. I always dug Campbell’s work ever since his Gen-13/Danger Girl days for his skills at drawing beautiful women, and this cover doesn’t break that trend. Wade Wilson is lookin a bit malnourished though, he might need to hit up that Weapon X steroid program again…

I’m Here Theatrical Trailer (Spike Jonze)
Between this, the Kanye clip from a year ago, and his movie Where The Wild Things Are, I’m giving Spike Jonze the #illanoids award for most bugged filmmaker since David Lynch. These are exactly the kind of robots I can imagine dreaming about after smoking a dust blunt and having unprotected sex with Janeane Garofalo. Something about it just screams Silverlake.

Staying Positive In A Recession
Never let it be said that Allah won’t test the believers. I was taught long ago that I’m no better than the prophets who came before me, so why should I expect to have it any easier than them? That’s why I promote the platform everywhere I go, and that’s why I believe self help and self determination are so ubiquitous in today’s tough financial climate. I’ve done numerous speaking engagements on the power of the FBI or Four Basic Ideals. Sometimes spoken word, other times in more informal settings like a movie set, or on the streets hustling mixtapes. In every case the person I was talking to was more than willing to hear the positive message I was bringing especially when I related it to everyday circumstances they were going through.
The fact is, there is so much negative propaganda and subliminal hatred being force fed the public through the media, that it can be nearly impossible to wade through the bullshit to find something useful. It’s no coincidence that celebrity gossip shows and (un) reality television are the greatest sources of entertainment along with their counterparts in cyberspace. People need escapism and celebrities provide a glimpse into another world in which the bills aren’t piling up and luxury cars and million dollar homes are the norm. Even the so called serious cable news like CNN will frequently derail themselves with ignorance about the latest Kanye West stunt, or whatever minutiae they can dig up about non-celebs like the Kardashians and similar black holes of personality. Any environment where a toxic show like TMZ can flourish ain’t a healthy one.

Disney Buys Marvel
Jacked from one of my favorite industry sites.
At first glance the obvious advantage is Pixar having access to all those great Marvel characters, but the purist in me wonders about the content being diluted. Without a doubt fanboys across the known universe are convulsing uncontrollably right now but it’s just business- big bank take little bank and all that. As long as I get my Heroes For Hire feature I’m good. We’ll see how it goes down.
