If Rappers Were Characters from The Wire

I love this article that The Smoking Section put up yesterday... it ticks three boxes for me; The Wire, Hip Hop and humour.

-

One of the highlights for me is: "LL Cool J as Cutty — Old veterans who used to be known for their hard-nosed antics, but have now evolved into harmless old men".

RocknRolla - Trailer (New Guy Ritchie film)

This looks like a half-decent effort from Mr Madonna.

Starring Jeremy Piven, Gerard Butler (dude from 300), Thandie Newton, Tom Wilkinson, Idris Elba (Stringer Bell in The Wire), rapper Ludacris and new Bond girl Gemma Arterton.

Michael from The Wire: Baltimore to Beverley Hills

SMH at this... Michael from The Wire has moved up in the world. No longer the streets of Baltimore for this one-time 'hopper' turned Stanfield-crew Lieutenant. No, young 'un has moved to Los Angeles to be the new Carlton Banks in 'Beverly Hills 90210' (version 2.0).

Do we really need a new version of that show? I suppose the original was a precurser to the real-life fuckery of the 'Paris Lohan' set, so it's only natural that it would return now (in a world that has become the Sodom and Gomorrah of celebrity worship).

I'd rather have had a sixth season of The Wire... you feel me?
