One of my friends is emigrating – not secondmentering, or visiting, or 'let's see how it goes' ing, but moving to London this week. She's moving there for at least 5 years. I'm so sad she's leaving. We started organising our ancestral visas together, and had I not got my cool job, I'd totally be going with her.
Anyway, I'm jealous and I'm also going to miss her so much.
She had a little farewell drinkie-poo thing at Gypsy Lounge [kiff spot, BTW. Been there twice now, and barring the no toilets vibe, it's rather nice].
Also met an awesome new person, and what with going through the whole Uranus In My Venus/Quarter Life Crisis/Who The Fuck Am I vibe, it was nice to chat to a stranger so easily. What a pleasure!
And although I never speak about hip hop here [because I'm a white girl. I mean, come on], and a helluva lot of Monster Hits, it was still grand to talk to someone who knew a thing or two about G Unit and Dr Dre.
Jesus. It's been an age. The last time I talked rapster gangster motherfuckers, was in the States.
Anyway, my quote of the evening was, and I absolutely loved this:
“Monster Hits, you listen to Monster Hits?”
I don't only listen, I own.
[I explain a little about how seminal Mr Vain and The Urban Cookie Collective is, especially the heightened euphoria one feels on such music when absolutely and completely blotto.
But also how after Monster Hits 4, it was never the same because they put Scatman's World on the album, and us purists didn't appreciate this new commercial vibe.]
And I know my Monster Hits shit OK.
Don't fuck with it.
To this:
“So you're like the Burger King Girl.”
“Whaaat?|
“Like, So Burger King has changed it's almighty and amazing 600g fries special to only 450 grams. And to you Burger King purists, you believe the brand is at risk, despite it's aforementioned fried conglomerate being one of the most popular foods of our time.
Burger King has changed, and you're not just happy about it. Back in the day, the 600g fries were what Burger King was about”
I absolutely loved that. He hit the nail on the button/head/whatever.
How frigging classic? Good on him wherever he is. Fucking hilarious.
Loved that.

OMG, I'm the first to comment! [No pressure Ches, just be natural]
Ok...at least Venus is not in Uranus! :)
Pea's, I'm sure everything will start falling into place...I think humans and bears are similar. When winter arrives, we feel the need to hibernate, and a little hibernation never hurt anyone!
Ches - be cool dog, be cool :) HAHAHA.
For sure, us humans are all animals at the end of the day and GOD I'd love to do some hibernating. I'm thinking this weekend when everyone fucks off on their long weekends, I'm going to order Mr Delivery and watch DVDs in my hen pad.
Never before have I embraced being such a loser! Bring it the fuck on! :)
Correct!
As Dr Alban so rightly sang on Monster Hits #1...'It's My Life!' Along with a whole lot of other unpronounceable versus!
Ches I still claim that the line 'I'm As Serious As Cancer When I Say Rhythm Is A Dancer' is poetry.
Pure unprecedented poetry.
What an absolute classic! 'You can feel it in the air...' Awsome!
Remember Snow, Informer!
"Informer, khkjsdg dghsdghkdshg dsgkhdfkgdgf yey yey, a leeky boom boom down!"
Pea's, my colleage is now singing Monster Hits tracks to me!! Ha ha...
cHES - HAHAHAHA! Classic, 'hjjkgh kjdfkjgh a leeky boom boom down..'
Was actually discussing having a Monster Hits party soon - had one in thrid year, so it's high time I had another! Come dressed in your Docs and pleated jeans china!
Fuck Pea's, you cool as ice...(ding da ding ding) Ice, Ice Baby, you rock the mike like a vandor, will it ever stop, yo I dunno (ding da ding ding)...
OW sweet tits, I know that whole song off by heart, now that guy was Gangsta to the MAX!!!!
Sunrise - Sweet tits, that's brilliant!
Another favourite hip hop line of all time:
'I Get More Ass Than A Toilet Seat.'
(Shake That Ass For Me)
Step aside Keats, fo shizzle.
MONSTER HITS PARTY!! YEEHAA!
I'm there like Snoop Dogg to a hot booty...Izzem to the Shizzem! Word!
Hahaha!
WORD.
It's going to be a corker. I'm going to whoreganise as soon as C is back from gallivanting across Africa. All the Monster Hits CDs, Now That's What I Call Music's, and Dance Adrenalines.
Jesus, I can't wait.
I feel so at home! Vanilla fans? Awesome!
Just yesterday I quoted: "if my rhyme was a drug I'd sell it by the gram" to someone, and they were utterly impressed - until they found out it was a Vanilla-line...
I still do his trademark "V" sign with my hands - just can't get rid of it. He was a one-hit legend!
Lofty - Dude Vanilla is amazing. His real name is Brian Van Winkle or something like that, and now owns a surf shop in California because he's bankrupt. Poor bastard! Remember his first and only movie, Cool As Ice? Where he had bricks shaved into the side of his head - fuck he was hot. Anyway, I have the soundtrack at home, and although Ice Ice Baby is a winner - there's more, you have to get his movie soundtrack!
He's still rapping and performing, can you believe it? Saw this pic of a show he did in Oz, and the crowd was massive!
And "Cool as Ice" was brilliant! If I wasn't in a conservative Afrikaans school, I would've chissled my hair and eyebrows Ice-style. He was my idol! Still remember buying "To the extreme", think it was my first CD ever...
You're right though, Ice Ice Baby was just one of the winners - how about "Play that funky music" or, my fav, "Havin' a Roni", cos I was THAT much gangsta back then...
Lofty - oh yeah baby you know what I'm talkin' about! My favourite line in the movie was, 'Drop that zero and get with the hero.' :)
Mini - dude, that's frigging genius! Beautifully done! For that you're definitely invited - wanna MC? ;)
