The Forward Thinking Genius of Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson Continues

I spoke to Michael Vick
I told him I'm happy he home
You tell them Crackas sorry
then you get back on,
When niggas is fightin' in the hood
nobody gives a fuck
So when you get back on the field
you show them crackas what's up

Umm, isn't that a scene from Nic Cage movie, Knowing, where the airplane crashes. Heh, fifty's experimenting with video the same copyright gray area that exists with mixtapes. Kinda dangerous, but i'm interested to see where it goes.

Whacha mean Doc? I thought 187 was one of the 911 planes that went down.

But talk more about the copyright issue. Whachumean?

The Doc said...

That scene of the airplane going down, and the people running around on fire. Fif (or somebody on his team) swiped --err, let's say borrowed for now-- that from Knowing. I say borrowed because I was assuming this'd be a net only underground video. Please tell me this won't be an official release, cuz SUMMIT's lawyers' pimp hand is waaaayyy strong.

Yeah the artwork is Beastie Boys and the video "Knowing". Beyond that the track is pretty good.

I wonder if Michael Vick knows what he has in common with fellow Virginian’s George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

[His slaves' ownership of dogs also troubled and economically threatened George Washington. They apparently trained the animals quite well. "It is astonishing to see the command under which their dogs are," Washington commented to his manager Anthony Whiting in 1792.

Although the slaves probably kept the dogs ostensibly for hunting, both men felt that they used the dogs during "night robberies" to round up Mount Vernon sheep, which they then sold to certain outside "receivers." Washington and Whiting also feared that dogs might kill the sheep.

Washington eventually ordered Whiting to decide which dog or dogs to keep on each farm, then kill all the others.

Afterward, "if any negro presumes under any presence whatsoever, to preserve, or bring one into the family. . .," Washington proclaimed, "he shall be severely punished, and the dog hanged."
Washington was not the only plantation owner to resort to such drastic measures; Thomas Jefferson, on at least one occasion, ordered the destruction of all dogs belonging to his slaves, while permitting his overseer to retain a pair for his own use. At least one of the condemned dogs was hung as a disciplinary warning to the Monticello slaves.]-- Mary V. Thompson


The dogs of enslaved Afrikans, allegedly used to collect "restitution" for their stolen labor, were killed or hanged by these slave-owning President's of the United States.

Thus, it appears that Michael Vick was just acting out of a long-standing Virginia tradition.
