As i was prepping this set list for this show for 2morrow in Milwaukee (if u in the area swing thru for a dope ass show), i had some time to watch tv. Lately its been between sports or watching Obama treat the shit out of Hillary and on occasion some videos if they ever play them. Today I managed to catch the worst show i seen since House of Payne and it was of course Under One Roof with Flava Fuckin Flav and if these are our standards for Black sitcoms then the bar aint really that high at all. At first I was just feeling stupid for wasting 20 minutes thinking this shit was gonna get better or at least entertaining, it was like watching an extremely bad impression of the early episodes of Fresh Prince. And from what i gather thats pretty much thats what they were shooting for:
Flav = Will - A dude from the hood, moving into a rich neighborhood with his family
Rich Brother = Uncle Phil - Rich black guy, doesnt want anything to do with anything ghetto (only difference is dude married a white women)
A geeky son = Carlton - I dont need to explain it
Dumb Ditzy Daughter = Hillary
Smart mouth Chinese Maid = Jeffrey the Butler - Apparently the cipher aint complete without a smart mouthed foreigner
Straight up, there will never ever be another Fresh Prince period, but to come straight out and copy is dumb. Then to make it worst, they had enough money to get Debo on it and this nigga was playing a gay nigga fresh out the pen trying have sex with Flav. I use to have some respect for dude regardless if he aint have any good roles since Friday but this was damn near up with Ving Rames and Holiday Heart, not really as bad but its almost up there. Flav gave us the GoldDigger Extravaganza that is Flavor Of Love and now this... All I wanna know is...what is Chuck D thinking?
New music on its way, I promise. www.myspace.com/add2
