Mumbo Jumbo: The Real Pap Attack, 'Roc Boys (Remix),' Remy Goes In

Words by Joe King
I'm back, bitches! Oh you thought I was gone forever, you're not that lucky, haha. Yeah I was down for the count like Ricky in the 10th Saturday. Lauren London in a honey bath could not persuade me to leave my bed son, that's how real it was. Anyway, I'm here. Feeling fresher! Totally am lost on what's been going on, so I'm sure yall can help if I'm slow on the news.
Let's start off with some BEEF since I was on a vegetarian diet last week.
THE GOOSE IS LOOSE, PAPOOSE
Okay, so it's been a little bit silent on the Pap front since the whole Uncle Burger situation went down over the summer. Looks like Papoose is at it again though. Last week, when he was dropping his boy off to a shorty's crib, he was allegedly accosted by four men. It went like this: Pap pulled over and some cats in good old, friendly midtown Manhattan (shout out to Iron) asked Pap to do a drop for their DVD magazine. Papoose, of course, being a man of great integrity (and badly needing some press) didn't refuse the opportunity and when he exited his vehicle to oblige the men's request, he found himself in a melee. This in fact was an attempted ambush. After a few seconds of fighting, sources say that Papoose went into his car, grabbed a bat and started to go Rambo first blood on these bad boys. Pap and his homies chased the kids until they themselves were apprehended and detained by police for six hours. People are saying the cops held onto Pap and his camp for so long because they refused to cooperate. Hmmm. Something sounds fishy here, doesn't it? Pap was either set up by his boys or the girl who's house he was dropping his man off at! Sounds very suspect to me! Good to hear no one was hurt more then minor cuts and bruises. People are saying that Pap even got one of the cameras from the crew that tried to get him and his boys, but we heard that before. "It's on tape." Then we don't see sh-- on Youtube. Propaganda is such a powerful tool.
ROC BOYS ARE BACK!!! WITH A NEW WEAPON
As many of you know, Jadakiss is an official Def Jam-ster (see "Jadakiss Signs To Roc-A-Fella Records"). And to make that deal super official, Jay-Z has featured Jada and Beanie Sigel on the remix of "Roc Boys." You know this is gonna be crazy kids. Shout out to Lenny S.
PRETTY BOY CAN STILL KNOCK EM OUT UGLY
Well deserved shouts go out to Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather for KO-ing Ricky Hatton in the 10th Round and getting 50 Cent to ghost write his album. "Yall must've forgot," oh that was Roy Jones, Jr. My bad. I hope this is more then money to 50. He's known for making toys, winding em up and sending em out into the world as his "creation," i.e. Olivia. That couldn't have been Mother Nature, lol.
Jack Rabbits
- I'm sick and tired of hearing this bullsh-- of a supposed engagement between Lauren London and Lil Wayne. Stop it folks. Totally not true. He's with Trina. That's his speed. Lauren London is a good girl. She ain't skeeting off with the coke bomber.
- RIP to Pimp C since I couldn't say it before. Word on the street is that he OD'ed from a powdery substance. Let's hope not.
- Michael Vick will be doing a 23 month jail bid for dog fighting. Good. I'm happy. They should've made him work at the ASPCA or be one of those State funded highway clean-up crews that scraps dead animal carcasses off the highway. I think that would turn over his stomach and a new leaf.
- Scott Baio is married. Thank god! That show was the pits!
RANDOM MADDNESS
Eminem and Britney Spears should get married and do a Best Of Both Worlds album. Then do a sing-a-long version for their toddlers. I think that puppet Em used in the "Ass Like That" video would prove very successful in teaching valuable life lessons to youngsters, lol.
Remy speaking on Kim: "When I feel like someone's getting at me, then I'll drag them all over the first spot that I see them... like this chick has more ghostwriters than Foxy. I just feel like right now she's reaching."
Told yall motherf---ers that Rem will tax that ass! Not even on record sales, straight talent, both verbal and physical. I said it first! Read the whole story.
"I don't believe you," she continued. "You don't like your nose, you don't like your cheeks, you don't like your chin, you don't like your skin color, you don't like your tits, you don't like your stomach, you don't like your teeth. What are you talking about?"
Speaking of Lil Kim...
SOME SICKNESS FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT AREN'T HAPPY WITH YOUR FACES! (From HowStuffWorks.com)
It's the only part of your body that allows you to use all five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. It's also the window that lets everyone around you know how you are feeling -- if you're contented, sad, angry or confused. Your face is the image you present to the world.
What would happen if your face were no longer there? It seems impossible to contemplate how that could happen, but it does, in rare cases. People who have been severely burned, who have cancer or who have been attacked by animals have lost part -- or all -- of the skin and underlying tissue on their faces. They have become so disfigured that they often don't want to leave their homes for fear that they will be harassed or shunned.
In the past the only way to fix severe facial disfigurement was with skin grafts -- taking pieces of healthy skin from elsewhere on the body or from a cadaver and placing them over the missing parts of the face. But grafts from the body don't look or work like the skin on the face, and they can't fully restore appearance or movement.
There is another way to fix severe damage to the face, though. Advanced medical technologies are enabling doctors to transplant part, or all, of a face from a donor. The result looks and acts far more realistic than skin grafts, but the face transplant isn't without issues -- both medical and ethical.
In this article, we'll look at how face transplants are performed, meet a few people whose lives have been transformed by them and find out why some doctors believe face transplants should never be done.
First, let's learn how transplant technology came into being.
Facial Reattachment Surgery
The first step to face transplant surgery was reattachment of a patient's own face. In 1994, 9-year-old Sandeep Kaur was chopping grass to feed the family buffalo at her home in northern India when her hair became caught in the threshing machine. Her entire face -- scalp and hair included -- was torn off. Sandeep's family put her face in a bag and drove the child by moped to the nearest major medical center, which was three and a half hours away. When surgeons assessed Sandeep, they decided that skin grafts would still leave her so disfigured that she'd never have a normal appearance. Instead, they performed surgery to reattach her face and scalp.
Sandeep's doctors made history by performing what was in essence the first human face transplant. Sandeep was left with some scars, and she's never regained full mobility in her face, but she has been able to lead a normal life since her operation. A handful of other successful face reattachment surgeries followed, including an operation at Massachusetts General Hospital on a man who'd gotten his hair caught in a conveyer belt at work.
Onscreen Face Transplants Probably the first face transplant (or rather, whole body transplant) captured in the movies was "Frankenstein," in which a mad scientist cobbles together a monster from various dead body parts.
Movies have long perpetuated the idea of monstrous results occurring when body parts are transplanted. In the 1960 movie "The Hands of Orlac," a pianist is given a new set of hands after an accident, only to find that the hands had belonged to a murderer and they had no intention of giving up their former pursuit. The 1991 movie "Body Parts" had a similar premise, only this time it was an entire arm that was transplanted. Even "The Simpsons" tackled the issue in a Halloween episode in which Homer gets a hair transplant from a recently executed criminal and subsequently goes on a crime spree.
In addition to trying to convince us that transplanted organs can retain the essence of their (usually evil) previous owners, movies have insinuated that transplant recipients look exactly like the donor after the operation. In the 1997 movie, "Face/Off," John Travolta and Nicolas Cage cleanly trade faces and take on each other's appearance, something that couldn't possibly occur because looks are actually a combination of the surface facial structure and the bones underneath.
I forget where I was with Serius Jones and Murda Mook, but we skipping to Remy vs. Lady Luck anyway! And so what if you saw it already!? See it again!
