I ain't into celebrity gossip. But this was too much not to pass on. I thought of a lot of funny lines after reading this, but if this is true it's too serious for me to joke about. I'm sure Sommore and the other comedians will have a field day with this.

How Richard Pryor Gave Pam Grier a Cocaine-Encrusted Vagina

Initially, I thought it was a hoax but apparently Pam Grier dealt with the issue in an Ebony interview.

"I didn't want [him] to feel that [his] talent [was] based on drugs. Women should know that if you have a boyfriend who has been indulging in cocaine for a long time, much of the cocaine stays in his prostate gland and can cause problems. It is really what broke [us] up. I told [Richard], "You're gonna have to wear a condom when we make love." He said that was something he did not want to do. I hate to be so graphic, but our grandmother and mothers don't tell us these things."

– Actress Pam Grier talks to Ebony magazine about her relationship with the late comic Richard Pryor in an interview to promote her new memoir, 'Foxy: My Life in Three Acts.'

Say whatever you want about my boy Ford.:)

Harold GOT PAID!!!!

"I love dirty money" -Goldman Sachs

"As a vice chairman at Merrill Lynch, however, Mr. Ford benefited from an unusual arrangement that paid him generously regardless of how he and his firm perform. In 2007, he began working at the firm under a contract that guaranteed him annual compensation of at least $2 million, The Times said, citing two people with direct knowledge of the deal, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the agreement is confidential. With a bonus, his pay could well exceed that figure.

His guaranteed pay was twice that of the Merrill Lynch chief executive who hired him, E. Stanley O’Neal. Mr. O’Neal’s contract assured him a base salary of $700,000, with the rest of his compensation not guaranteed, and paid out only as a bonus, records show. In some years that bonus was quite large. In 2006, for example, Mr. O’Neal’s bonus was $18.5 million in cash and nearly $27 million in restricted stock, according to Equilar, a compensation-research firm."

HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW?

I've had several far reaching conversations with both. Both men are hustlers, but TI comes off as a much nicer guy.

I too have had conversations with both Dude.

TI is a hustler. TI is playing the system without investing in this system. He forges his own memes.

Ford is a Plantation Negro flunkie deficient in the vitamin that makes brothers ... brothers.

He, like our boy DMG, is invested in Plantation memes. He needs them to be true in order to validate himself.

If Plantation Myth crumbles. He crumbles.

Therefor he works harder than the Plantation owners to fortify those myths.

Apropos of nothing, but God, I hate these sorts of people more than anything else. You know, the ones who give you attitude when you try to return something to the store, as if it were their pockets you're taking from when you do so. (When, in actuality, regardless if the store earns a billion that year or loses a million, they still get the same chump salary.) Or bitches who work with the cable company who absolutely balk at giving you a credit, even after their shitty service doesn't work for 2 weeks straight (yes, venting here, bear with ol' Doc)

It's almost sad, really, people who invest that much into a job that really doesn't give two fugs about them.

LOL!

I got a partner. Jamaican cat.

Cant' STAND muhfuggas like that.

He analogizes them to an $11/ hour security guard willing to die in a hail of bullets protecting property he doesn't own.

that dude said...

I can't elevate Tip to some exalted level because he was stupid enough to get caught buying guns. That was a dumb move when you KNOW they are out to get you and you already have enough firepower to overthrow Alabama.

But I like dude, and I hope he ends up having the career Tupac could have had if had lived through his young and dumb years.

Harold...is like some kind of perfect example of the whole Plantation thing you rail about. He really is that dude. Given the choices available to him, his personal and professional decisions are just sad.

I spoke as plainly as a person can to a cat you don't know that well. He nodded but I didn't see any lightbulbs coming on.
