Political Theater aka showbiz for the ugly. Usually taxocrats are low-key and subversive (except when accusing the sun, trees and rocks of racism). The left utilizes their State-Run media, government schools and activist judges to effect radical changes to society no one (sane) would ever vote for outright. November can't get here fast enough.

Glen Beck's crazy is all showbiz. If you want the real deal, check out this talk radio host from Texas (of course).

Someone as young as that dying with no other apparent cause it's usually safe to assume OD in showbiz.

Always thought and still think they're redefine generic metal and tastlessly average riffs, but whatever, RIP.

According to the coroner, the autopsy revealed no signs of head trauma, but he did have hypertensive heart disease, and that was likely the cause of his death. I guess it kind of makes you feel better that the cause was natural and not the result of a stupid bump on the noggin.


Yeah, it is weird, but I felt the same way when I heard that news. It sucks that he died, but like you said, at least it wasn't due to him hitting his head.

I also have become a big Billy Mays fan after getting into Pitchmen on Discovery. I remember when I first saw Billy on TV with his products, I just wish he'd stop shouting at me.

But Pitchmen really grew on me and I saw what Billy was like behind the camera, and he is just a sincere, nice guy who really believed in and stood behind all the products he pitched.

Latest update: He's not dead, but in a coma. Updated 6 minutes ago at CNN.


CNN's now reporting he's dead at that link Krono. That was quick considering you just posted it a minute ago.

And there's now this from Faux Newz:


I don't care about his alleged past, the man was a musical genius and will be missed.

Latest update: He's not dead, but in a coma. Updated 6 minutes ago at CNN.

My pockets stay fat and they always like that
Not only in pocket but in my bank there's stacks and stacks of dough
Cause I move slow I get my cash flow and then I go
And brother's don't know I'm on the down low
Some get mad cause they can't understand
That I'm 23 years old I'm in command
I'm down with DITC, that's "Diggin' in the Crates"
And my partner A.G., we always keep crazy papes
I'm staying fat, cause what comes around goes around
I always help out and help a brother when he's down
And out like a boyscout, brothers always shout
"Good lookin out Show" Yeah, without a doubt
But don't try and take advantage
I'll just leave you alone instead of putting that ass in bandages
Signing off is Show B-I-Z
And next up is A.G., he likes his pockets F-A-T

Check it out yo, A.G. is living fat
In the mental, in other words can I get a soul clap?
Diggin' in the crates for something smooth
Showbiz & A.G., yo money, we make the party groove
And I'm a top-notch competitor
Carrying dough like a treasurer
Getting pussy, oh that's regular
But the sex I never take
Cause if that bitch screams rape, like Mike Tyson, I'm upstate
And you know that's a fact, black
So if she says no, that means no, and that's that
No matter how cute or how desperate
(Ayo she gotta get the boot) Yeah, she gotta see the exit
But I'm not mad I didn't hit it
I just dial seven digits and some skins that's with it
Bones in the closet, that's my logic
You gotta be smart and keep a downlow in the projects
Watch your step and take it easy
Or act like Stevie Wonder becasue you know you can't see me
Don't sniff no coke, but I might drink a brew
Or maybe two (Andre the Giant, not you)
Yeah, wrecking MC's with just my demo
And pulling all the cuties with no problemo
That's right, because I'm a gamer
Your girl let you for me, A.G., I don't blame her
Step back, get your sticks and your bats
Know you step up because my pockets are fat

It's time to take the brothers from the corner
Clean up they act, and give them a chance to do what the wanna
I'm not trying to be a bum with a 40
That's not my style, I gotta work hard like Naughty
By Nature, you should understand
To get yours in this land, you gotta work for yours, black man
You think it's easy because I rap?
So don't ask me for a dollar motherfucker, you ain't handicapped
And if you was, you'd still have the chance
Look how I flip "ain't this a bitch" now I'm making you dance
Yeah it's Show B-I-Z from your neighbor H-double-O-D, I R-A-P
Cause I wanna stay fat
To keep clothes on my back and you know I never slack
For all the bums that said I forgot where I came from
Eating crumbs on the corner in the slums
I'm hungry enough to grow fangs
Here's a dollar, go to the store, but give me back my fucking change
I'm not trying to spend on so-called friends
Not even with skins, put that bullshit to an end
So fuck the groupies on tour
I'm trying to make a million dollars, some shit I never saw before
So save that bullshit for later
So when I'm large, hoes give me head on an escalator
Yeah, I like to flow, I'm Show B-I-Z
A.K.A. Mr. F-A-T

Sittin here reminiscin back to high school
When everytime I see you, girl, you know that I drool
Day-dreamin in class thinkin what would I say
When I saw you, but you never looked my way
It started freshman year and lasted straight to the 12th grade
I have to give it to you, though, you was top-shelf, babe
I asked myself time and time again: what was it
About me that made me treat me like a buzzard
I speak to you in the hall and you ignore me
You keep walkin and talkin like you never saw me
You didn't have to conversate with me, I can say that
It woulda made my day if you just had waved back
I used to buy you candy, lollypops and gum drops
I even pack a extra-sandwich in my lunch box
You're treatin me like dirt and everyone in the school knows
You call me out my name and crack jokes on my school clothes
If anyone could make you feel good, girl, I could
But you give me that look like you don't wanna be bothered
But that's okay, just keep on frontin, see
Cause one day I'ma make it, and you'll be wantin me
Been tryin hard ever since I graduated
To make it big, and yes, I finally made it
Been doin shows, videos and tv
Now everywhere you go everybody knows me
Now the tables have turned and now it's me you're hawkin
Now I turn up my nose, and keep on walkin
You see, ladies marvel me in clubs frequently
And you make it your duty to come and speak to me
Rememberin how she played me in the past
Yeah, we can talk, I'm in a rush, please make it fast
And we can start off with all the men you been with
And don't come poppin that just-a-friend bit
Remember how you used to diss me and play me out, how
Come you got so much stuff to talk about now?
The word's around town that you're on the money tip
But sorry, I can't do nothin for ya, honey dip
So pardon me as I make my way to the dancefloor
And over to the bar because that's what I came for
Cuties pamperin me with champagne and roses
As I think to myself: thank God for showbiz!
Everywhere I turn girlies throwin me rhythm
Drinkin and thinkin who will be my victim
Here comes that girl that used to diss me
She whispers in my ear could she come home with me
Yup, get your coat and we could shoot north
Took her to the crib, and cold knocked her boots off
After i got it, yo, I never did call back
Thinkin how she used to front like she was all that
It's a new game, and the odds are in my favor
She caught the vapors and nothin could save her

These guys made huge tunes. Like Time's up. Sick beat.

Time's Up was one of the back ground instrumentals to the battles in 8 Mile. Featured also was Showbiz and AG's Next Level (Nyte Mix).

I aktually like the music..

I am not really into the video or the lyrics.

It's ok if you don't like it and it's ok if tv stations dont' want to show it..

Should it be banned - No of course not..

I personally think that this isn't half as bad than lets say ...chart shows from a musical and moral point of view

And pissing people off to get attention is quite common in showbiz and worse people have done it.

But her beeing so shitty on her blog is another story..



Have to update moral meter:
Playing shooters, killing people at random ---- OK
Watching girls making fun about rape ---- NoNo

Bale has apologized for his outburst: http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/02/06/bale.apology/index.html

"I was out of order beyond belief," Bale said. "I was way out of order. I acted like a punk. I regret that."

Stronger than Bounty
New York is the city, Bronx is the county
Learn from the best so the rest just fest

Or either in the village so kill it skillet
Ya ask ya'self
Will it eva cease?
'Cause Diamond's sharp as a crease
I only use bees wax, I'll neva use grease
On my dreads but instead if you want some kicks
Step to the mic I'm an 8 to 1 pick
You reap what you sow and I can reap it
Yo I'm the best kept secret

I really, really like Bill Murray. When he said that he was jumping out of the plane on a day that he didn't care if he had a parachute or not, he wasn't joking; he recently went through a devastating divorce.
