i cant help but feel bad for this dude. he was a product created by the beast known as the music industry, and really caught a lot of shit. no wonder he's so fucked up now. imagine being hated so much by so many people before your even 20 yrs old. and listen to arsenio, llike he's some great talkshow host.
But bigups twice per album? Seems a bit excessive... I used to watch Arsenio on my black and white TV Yea, they still made those, big whoop, wanna fight about it?

word. He got a pretty raw deal. Dude cannot have anymore of a career except for doing the occasional has-been reality show or vh1 extra. He basically was a joke for the last 20 years. Didnt he try killing himself twice too? The whole celebrity music biz chewed his ass up pretty bad. I always remembered this too back in the day on mtv it was some show where they were retiring corny played out videos and they had him come do his own video. Thats gotta be pretty embarrassing for dude to have to do that. I would have hit chris kataan though in the face and caught the charge cause that dude deserves it.
i cant stand when djs play ice ice baby. dude asked me for it a few weeks ago, i asked him if he liked it when it 1st came out...his reply was no. so why now ? fuck outta here.
here's a little blurb on Arsenio's DE LA diss... which wasn't exactly a diss, but still kinda awkward [notice how much the word awkward comes up when talking about Arsenio's show?]...
The song "Pass the Plugs" features the lyrics "Arsenio dissed us but the crowd kept clapping". This refers to the group performing on The Arsenio Hall Show where Arsenio Hall introduced them as "the hippies of hip hop". The group then performed "Me Myself and I" which explicitly states that they aren't hippies. The credits for the show also began to run over the performance before they were through, also contributing to the "diss."
The thing that people tend to forget is that BET played "Ice Ice Baby" for about six months with no buzz, when it was still on Ichiban Records, before MTV ever touched it. Maybe the folks at BET thought it was an oddball cut, but by the time he was picked up by SBK, it was old news. Then he came out with that "Play That Funky Music" bullshit.
How many of you are waiting for the "Chillin' Deluxe Edition" of his Cool As Ice[/b] movie? Ah yeah, ramalama fa fa fa.

Why did Phife mention Arsenio so damn much? Close personal friend?
Someone speak on it.
Arsenio was pretty popular there for a while, you know?
His show was one of the only places to see hip hop on regular
TV for a long time, too.

OK, black man.
Any other pieces of hip-hop wizdom for us?

White privilege indeed.
i would ask what the fuck yr even basing that on but then i realized i'd be getting into a discussion about race with "MikeSeaversNIKES"
He didn't even say anything about his pants...
It's MikeSeaversNIKES--recently spotted attempting to lambast me for not showing proper respect to "hip-hop academics".
