Ice Cube’s eyebrows should have won an Oscar and a Grammy by now. They look like someone used the Twirl filter on them. Photoshopped at birth. I have wonky eyebrows on account of having an abscess removed (badly) as a kid. I kind of forget about it but I guess it’s really noticeable, being that it’s right between my eyes. My wonky is not as good as Cube’s wonky.

They took years to honour Scorsese’s eyebrows though. The bit in Anaconda where he shoots the snake in the head and goes “BEETCH!”.

I got this comment spam yesterday:

“Your guestbook is example of middle-class guestbooks. Congratulation! I?ll show your site and guestbook to my friends.”

If Cube read that comment, you know what face he’d make?

My favourite Cube song is either “We Had To Tear This Mothafucka Up” or “A Bird In The Hand”. He actually made at least two good songs this year. Something good to frown about.

That’s it!

50 seconds of the instrumental from Crime Mob’s riotmongering “Knuck If You Buck”.

A dude rapping a few cusses about a “rake-lookin-ass-nigga”.

Still images of the lookin az things, that appear in time with the rapping.

There’s a follow up by another dude. It’s a little weak but it does introduce the concept of somebody looking like a flock, something I had never before considered.

Timing. It’s all about timing.
I have no idea whether these two videos are part of a greater “lookin az ning” scene or whether they are the only examples. I can only hope more lookin az videos appear on youtube.

In fact have the instrumental so you can make your own…

Crime Mob – Knuck If You Buck (Instrumental) 2004

Anyways one of the things we were gonna do was pictorial representations of famous (or particularly pleasing) lines from raps. I did a couple so I figure I’ll post them up here for people to have a guess at. HURK might even post his someplace…

Guesses in the comments section please.

Speaking of Hercules…

…it just so happens he is currently engaged in not one, but TWO bouts of public pugilism.

The Fist-A-Cuffs blog has a knockout tournament running which pits teams of two fighters drawn by teams of two artists against two fighters drawn by a rival two artists. Sounds complicated but it just means theres a hell of a lot crazy drawings from some of the world’s best cartoonists and film designers. Not that I’d want to sway your votes but if you voted for my homies Kevin and Herc’s team Delegates Of Pain I might call you a person of high taste. Equally if you take a look at Will Kane and Jose Luis Agreda’s team The Blazin’ Blades I’m sure you’ll be inclined to tip them for the win.

The other fight HURK finds himself in is the eternal fight to have one’s animations paid for by the BBC. Again teaming up with Canadia’s favourite rubber-chicken-lover K. Draw to produce a short animation that makes me very happy and slightly excited. You can see it and all the other shortlisted BBC animations here. It’s on the bottom right and you can vote for it to make the world a better place. Sankyou!
