Go Do This: Eyebeam 10th Anniversary

Lastings Milledge: In This Bitch with the Terror

Lastings Milledge, a young buck from the Mets’ farm system, has already been in some deep trouble with the Mets before his latest debacle: a featured verse on a track called “Bend Ya Kneez,” a song about…well I ain’t explaining it. The track is by a rapper named Manny Ramirez D, and is a […]

Antennae Man: On Earth for Terror, Sex

I met the best crazy homeless train guy last night after work on where else? The F train. He told us his name was Antennae Man, and he is an “alien from outer space, not from Mexico.” His spaceship crashed on Earth, and now he is terrorizing humans via renditions of “Pop Goes the Weasel” […]

A 20 minute interview with Ghostface can be found here. Link copped from Oh Word, who “straight jacked” it from a messageboard.
