Kid N’ Play Celebrate 20 Years Of House Party

Friday, April 23 2010 12:40 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, True Story

As part of the Tribeca Film Festival kick off this past Monday, Kid N’ Play celebrated the 20 year anniversary of their movie, House Party.  Funny how time flies. The pair reunited in February on The Mo’Nique Show and last September, DJ Jazzy Jeff revealed that he and Will Smith turned down the starring roles. Well Blackvoices caught up with the duo and had them speak on their cult classic.

Christopher “Play” Martin: You know, the great thing about it, is that it doesn’t feel like 20 years. It’s amazing, and the good thing about it is not to take yourself seriously, which I can say I wasn’t perfect with. I got a chance to rest and look back and see the groundwork that me and Kid laid out. When I look back at the music and comic book that Marvel put out, we accomplished a lot of good work.

Christopher “Kid” Reid: It was great, awesome and very humbling. It was a collaborative project, and I had the opportunity to work with some great people who made me and Play look good. People think that this makes you feel confident, but it’s totally the opposite. I feel blessed and humbled by what people think of our work.

Scarface To Remake Criminal Minded

Friday, April 23 2010 10:07 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, True Story

Mr. Scarface confirmed to HHDX that he plans on remaking some tracks from BDP’s classic debut, Criminal Minded. Get blinded again.

I need to ask you about something a little birdie told me recently: is it true that Scarface is remaking Boogie Down Production’s classic Criminal Minded album?
Scarface: Not the whole album, but I’m making some [of it]…

So [you’re saying] just a few songs [from the album]…?
Scarface: I’m thinking so. Um…I haven’t really came to the conclusion yet of what I’m gonna do with it, but I know for a fact that I’m remaking “9mm Goes Bang,” along with “Poetry” and shit like that. I just feel like – And it’s not for a personal gain, it’s a respect thing. I’m [paying respect by remaking] [KRS-One's] whole fucking shit. I feel like he deserves that compliment. Like muthafuckas forget where it came from, man. I remember growing up in junior high school and like my first couple years that I spent in high school, I fucking had that rhyme scheme. I wrote my rhymes like that [mumbles cadence from “Poetry”]. I was that!
