Super O Meets The Loser!!

So I get a text from my man Otis this mornin' saying "Yo pick up the Daily News today.." Now O ain't really the jokin' or playin' type so when he say something, I kinda know it's for a reason. So I go get the paper and on page 4 is a story about this mega loser. Dude's been arrested 53 times for molesting women on the subway. 53 times! I mean, that means he sat in the bullpen 53 times, went in front of a judge 53 times, walked out of 100 centre street 53 times.. Mindbogglin' to me.. I mean that would make dude an expert at the nyc correctional facility process.. I guess after the first 20 times it looses it's awe factor.. Read the entire article here.

Well if that aint nutty enough, one of the arresting officers (see above pic) is none other than my man Otis! The same Otis who, if any of you are close to me would know, my group PS did a song about on "The Experience" album (which is still available in very limited quantities with limited edition artwork packaging, get at me!). It was more of a Ray58 solo joint where he spits a letter Otis wrote him and his response to him while stationed as one of the initial troops out in Iraq. He was even on like CNN and CBS when they had camera crews n reporters following the troops those first few weeks of the "war".. Along with bieng a transit cop and having served in Iraq, Otis was also a member of the NYS police for I think a lil' over a year. I mean theres gotta be an award or sumthin' for all that damn public service. The Otis award.. Am I buggin'??
Segway time.. I figured it's only right I post the song for your listenin' pleasure..

Here's the prelude (which is a good sincere convo piece between us and O upon his return from Iraq) as well as the song itself.. 5 minutes of your life total.. Listen if you haven't heard them yet and tell me what you think whether good or bad.. Personally I think my man Ray went in crazy on this joint.. but thats just me..

"Yo, I Got An Idea.."

About a year and a half ago I got a call from my man Spike Lee's advertising company, Spikeddb and they had a Pepsi ad that they needed musical interpretation for. The catch was they had to present it to Pepsi in 24 hours so they wanted to meet me on some 11th hour ish to break the concept down. They basically wanted "mashups" (thats how dude in charge of the music described 'em) of popular hiphop songs blending into and eventually "mashing" with popular alternative and rock records. They asked me to submit 3 different 30 second slots and i had till the morning to do so. No sweat. I hollered at my peoples Jao and Stos and we went to his peoples Blair Wells crib and knocked out two really corny and cheesy mixes that I knew they'd never clear anyway. The third mix I submitted was actually a record from the group we were involved in at the time, Petelshot and figured it would be a chance for us to maybe break something new, dope and most importantly "$free$" to both Spikeddb and Pepsi while getting the band some exposure in the process. Needless to say I emailed them 3 mp3's that night. Cheesemiester in charge of the music the next morning emails me and leaves me a voicemail going nuts about the Petelshot piece and gassed me to the point where I thought we had something. Flash forward, NBA All-Star game 2008. As I'm sittin in the crib watching the wackest basketball game ever televised, a Pepsi commercial comes on. Immediately i notice the pendulum balls swinging and it was exactly as they'd described the concept to me. Then outa nowhere, Skateboard P pops up and the rest is history. Funny thing, peep how he ends the commercial by telling dude on the jack, "Yo, I got an idea.." lol..


For the heck of it, heres the mp3's of what i sent em..

Snoop/Maroon 5 Mix
Curtis/Modest Mouse Mix
Petelshot 2 Worlds Collide Mix


*I wonder if P got to listen to the Petelshot piece prior to gettin' busy..
