Christmas on Death Row


Christmas on Death Row





















As in Death Row Records, of course. Gangsta rap Christmas covers, smooth and easy, and the proceeds from over 200,000 sales went to fund community projects. Not typical hip hop. Unless the projects were handing out firearms and drugs, and bitches and whoe's.

A seriously good Christmas compilation. There's Silver Bells, there's Frosty The Snowman, there's Silent Night. There's also: Santa Claus Goes Straight To The Ghetto, Party 4 Da Homies, and Christmas In The Ghetto. A make you smile album.

Nothing to do with this, but while on about music to smile to (sorry to trot out this link again, again, again, but if this don't make you laugh, you need to book a Dr's appointment):


“Big Louie knows what it's all about
Mowing down cops with machine gun chops”

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band's “There's No Lights On The Christmas Tree Mother, They're Burning Big Louie Tonight”.

“They're strapping him down and shaving his hair,
Big Louie's gonna get the chair!”


2013, the random list

Film (new, cinema):

Django Unchained

This goes back to early in the year, and I've only not said The Hobbit because that's probably too fresh in the memory.


Film (old, foreign language, DVD):

Three Colours, White

Blue is everyone's favourite, probably followed by Red, and they're both absolute must-sees. But White just made me laugh out loud in places. Funny, serious and sad, a perfect film.
