Remember this gem from ‘93? A young Alchemist and son of esteemed actor James Caan, Scott Caan were both a part of the group that reminded us to run our pockets. This single was produced by DJ Muggs of Cypress Hill fame. Too bad Tommy Boy dropped them before they dropped an album? "Put ya hands up! Put ‘em up! Stick ‘em up!"   

We’re not kidding. Buy that Ferrari Enzo and slam it into something before this trend dies out.

If you’re ever in the mood to let out some of your frustrations with the man, pick up a copy of the highly controversial, The Spook Who Sat by the Door.  In 1973, when the movie hit theaters, it was quickly taken off the screen for its politically controversial subject matter and prior to it’s dvd release in 2004, this film was nearly impossible to come by.  Spook, an adaptation of Sam Greenlee’s novel of the same name, follows Dan Freeman through his integration as the first black CIA agent.  But right after his graduation as an official agent Danny boy resigns and heads to Chicago to train an all black squad of guerrilla soldiers.  Made on a shoestring budget, this film reaveals an often underrepresented slice of black ideology in the 60s and 70s and it probably scared the shit out of some white people back in the day of its first release.   Not only does it have a sick soundtrack by Herbie Hancock some of the audio samples from the movie are used in some Dead Prez songs.  So don’t look now cause the revolution is coming.

Here’s a Nerf blast from the past. What’s better than mimes, babes, balls and Seth Green with an amazing haircut?

Keep your eyes peeled for the "Wu-Tang Nation vs Warp" dvd. It’s so underground we can’t even find it online. So here’s some other footage of the Clan in Japan.

The Tempe Arizona Police Department is in trouble because of a recent episode of Tempe Street Beat, a local public access television program about cops on patrol. In a segment of the show that aired last week, a white police officer pulls over two black men for literring, and then allows them to get out of the ticket by rapping. The NAACP is trying to get the cop in trouble, and the show was taken off the air. Personally, I would be happy if rapping about the crime you just committed became a more popular de facto plea bargain. The real good news is that here at Frank we got the exclusive video. You better be experienced!

Being a strong advocate of alternative smoking methods, I took it upon myself to let y’all know about an exciting new scientific break through.  Using corn oil, the people at Aleda have created some pretty serious shit.  Invisible papers.  That’s right… Invisible papers.  Show off the quality of your tobacco and be health concious at the same time!  This shit is 100% cellulose, so not only is it healthier than regular papers, all you taste is that sweet delicious green tobacco.  They come in a regular joint size and a blunt rap size so say goodbye to the rising price of Dutches.  And to really sell you on this stuff I blindfolded myself and took the Aleda taste test.  And guess which smoke I picked…

Crashing Ferraris on purpose is the new high society extreme sport!
