Gangsta's Paradise

I couldn't agree more Prince John. You got your long chain, pimp cup, and not to mention a crown. sahweet jebus. Collecting taxes, slaying wenches, and oppressing the people is really what I call a good time, welcome to the good life.

Too bad King Richard comes back and smacks you silly Young Yoc, i mean John, and Robin Hood is constantly grilling you. Originally, Robin Hood is seen as a heroic bandit? Outlaw? Badass MC? stealing from the rich and giving to the poor...yeah, i don't really know how my financial adviser feels about that. Furthermore, his green pantsuit is really something. He's just got the ladies fawning over him, swoon. And somehow PJ (Prince John) is able to convince King Richard to go fight in the crusades. ...Maybe we don't want a tool of a King on the throne anyways? Regardless, things were messed up in the UK.

So, Young Prince-what's it going to be? Feedin' the poor and helpin out wit they bills? Or Ridin' around town in a drop-top benz. If you were a true baller you wouldn't have to choose, because that's what a true gangsta does, and damn does it feel good to be a gangsta.

Unforgiveable

Enough smack talk, let's get down to business.
Really, green eggs and ham?! REALLY? That's not natural, fo realsz. GO and get that chicken sandwich and waffle fries, and watch me snatch it from her reeeal quick! Afterwards, I had my choice of movies: Dr. Zhivago, A Brief Encounter, and a Bridge on the River Kwei- A LEAAN NIGHT!

anyways, all this talk is making me hungry - pissin' me off.
Watch the original videos here

Anyways, Dr. Seuss, whose name is actually Theodor Seuss Geisel, is known for his famous children's books. He wrote over 44 books during his lifetime under a variety of pen names, but is also known for his political cartoons he made during WWII. He attended Dartmouth College for undergrad where he joined Sigma Phi Hairsalon, I mean Epsilon, and then did a bunch of really important stuff like get a PhD in Oxford. yeahyeah.

Fresh To Death


So don't go around tellin' me stuff i DON'T WANNA HEAR.
Snow White already has enough problems on her hands. She's got a crazy Queen trying to kill her, and not to mention she's living with seven dwarfs- really, she's got it bad dude. So, she really doesn't need this little bird all up in her business- COME BACK LATER.

Snow White is based off of a German Grimm's fairytale. The Queen in the story is obsessed with her hot bod and good looks, and she's got a mirror that reminds her everyday. But then Snow White enters the picture, and really messes up the Queen's perception of self-image and stuff. and So the Queen orders Snow White to be murdered, but the assassin just can't do it-fist of steel that one.
So instead Snow White hides in the forest with seven little dudes for years and years, and the Queen finds out and keeps on trying to kill her. Finally after a bunch of really terrible stuff happens to Snowie, a Prince arrives and fixes everything, and because the Queen's been such a big wench, a pair of "heated iron shoes are brought forth with tongs and placed on the Queen." She's then forced to dance in them until she drops dead. Karma with a vengeance y'all.

Stop-Hammer Time

oh baby baaaabAYy

Every now and then everyone needs a little R&R, a little sexy time, shmexy.
And who better than one of the world's most notorious political figures, the Chairman. Mao-man. He's workin' hard all day, and deserves to do what he wants, even if that means dressing up and you know...testing the boundaries of gender norms, but just on the weekends...or in private. But come on! Pink is a great color on yeh.

This is one of a series of silkscreens the infamous Andy Warhol did based off of Chairman Mao. This series falls within his legacy of highlighting the hotties of pop culture like Jackie O and Marilyn M. Everyone's attracted to mystery and tragedy-hey, misery loves company. And all of us want to be a little alternative...or at least I do.

Like a G6

They see my rollin
They hatin
Patrolling they tryin to catch me ridin dirty

yeahhhyuhhh, Krayzie Bone and Chamillionaire are totally rollin dirty with Sebastian in the ocean deep.

The Little Mermaid is a Danish fairy tale, and while the Disney version gives you the feel good ending all of us are craving, the real fairy tale ends in a much more...gruesome and maybe realistic manner. Basically, the little mermaid must be sippin' the crazy, because she gets legs from this crazy sea bitch, i mean witch, and goes on land to follow around this fine prince. But you snooze yah loosssze lady, the Prince marries a human princess and the little mermaid is devastated so she crushes a case of natty light or something, then goes to the Sea Witch again. The SW (Sea Witch) tells her that if she shanks the Prince and lets the blood drip on her fins, she'll get human legs, but alas, Little Mermaid Ariel can't do it, and instead throws herself into the ocean- delusional.

But hey, all of us need dreams to keep us going, and not all of us have Sea Witches to provide realistic solutions to our far fetched fantasies, we all need to escape reality once in a while. So for the rest of us in the words of Chamillionaire- we been drinkin and smokin holdin shit cause a brother can't focus.

Don't Tase me Bro


Fuck the Police, that's how we treat 'em, we can buy our way out of jail but we can't buy freedom. Kanye always knows what to say, and always in the most poetic terms.
We all heard about the UF student who was forcibly removed from a lecture, in which he repeatedly yelled "don't tase me bro! Don't tase me!" but was invariably tased anyways- the result of brute authoritarian force? Or merited punishment on a douche lord?
It's up to you, but his infamous quotation sparked a series of viral videos and songs.

Regardless, the issue of whether or not to fight the man, or endure a tasing is an ongoing question.
In this painting by Francisco Goya he demonstrates the lifelong human battle between freedom, independence, and well...men with guns. This painting called "The Shootings of May Third 1808" commemorates the Spanish resistance to Napoleon's army.
Here's looking at all the tased bros and those who'll apologize, but just won't take off their sunglasses.

gin and juice

Oh yeah baby, Rafiki and his drank. The African safari just wouldn't be the same without getting a little tipsy up in this club. Slow your roll, and enjoy the ride.

On a different note, Disney's "The Lion King" is the highest grossing 2D animated film of all time in the United States. Also, it won two Academy Awards and Golden Globe Awards. Simba must be glowing with pride...that little s.o.b., in the words of Charlie Sheen-he wasn't even trying!!!!!
