Amy of A Rational Creature sent me a little video aid to help me make my mashed potatoes this year. “Snoop Makes Mashed Potatoes,” on Martha Stewart’s show, with a side of awesomesauce. (My new favorite word.)
I’d like to add a suggestion for your own mashed potatoes:
- Unpeeled potatoes in the pot
- Cover with cold water
- Then place on the heat
- Cook to the desired tenderness
- Peel Rub potatoes in a tea towel to remove skin (no need for your fingers or a knife, Martha & Snoop)
- Careful you don’t drop it, like, it’s hot
You must be cray-z. Ah! November 16, 2008

This ad caught my attention. [Not a REAL ad on this site.]
You're scaring the children.
Who’s going to click on an ad like that? Honestly.
Get some pants!

This is how we chill from ‘93 ’til
A lot of people ask me, “Anthony, I’m ready to expand my musical horizons. Can you recommend a starter kit for testing unfamiliar genres?” (Ok, they don’t really. But they should.) And I first check to see if they’re listening to 90’s Hip Hop.
If you want to try the waters of Hip Hop, Scratch Volume 1 will catch you hooks, rhyme, and sinker. It’s’ a compilation soundtrack to a legendary hip hop club.
No gangsters, no attitude, no posturing. Just beats and rhymes…
Disclaimer: That does not mean it’s rated PG. You should recognize that any time Digital Underground gets involved things are going to get a little dirty.
Here’s the rub. It might not be available online other than Amazon.co.uk, so try your record local record store. I think I found my copy in a bargain bin years ago. (Be sure to comment to this post if you find another place to purchase this cd.)
Collaboration, in many forms, is Hip Hop’s trump card. Something it has in common with Social Media.
Highlights include: “Bring It Back”, by MASTER MIND (samples the KRS-One track of the same name from the movie “Rhyme & Reason”), “Popcorn” by KMD, “Fly Antics” by Abdominal & DJ Fase (sick!), and “Can I Get Open by Original Flavor” (Featuring a young Jay-Z). The track “Popped” from DJ Serious sounds a whole lot like Eminem; and years before Eminem. There’s also a contribution from a little group out of Queens who own Hip Hop as far as I’m concerned.
This cd will blow your mind.

What’s not to love about this?
The adorable bouquet of talent is Annie Clark. She performs as St. Vincent.
Speaking of bouquet…
Of all popular music does Hip Hop have the highest ceiling for joy? I submit to you: Lupe Fiasco.
From his first album, here is I Gotcha.
