HIP HOP AND THE ADULT ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY DIRTY LITTLE SECRET……….Could it possibly go MAINSTREAM?
Over the years we have seen countless rock and heavy metal videos glamorizing the Playboy bunnies and adult film stars. Melting on the screen were vixens sprawled across vintage cars, pool parties, and backstage concerts exploding out of their extra small bathing suits. We would see long manes swinging from left to right and posing with a painted on smile in the middle of a blizzard. Do Slayer, Poison, and Van Halen come to mind? When the nineties hit, we began to see a rebirth of this trend hit the hip-hop world. This virus spread by small appearances of models standing next to the artist fulfilling her contractual obligations as good “eye candy.” Eminem’s video “Without Me”, paid homage to female porn stars Jena Jamison and Raven. If you were not aware, Jena Jamison is the Elvis of females in the adult entertainment industry. A self made millionaire so to speak. Soon, other hip hop artists followed this rising trend. Vanessa Del Rio is considered to be the cream of the crop as well. There are and were mountains of request for cameos in film and in music. Her name is also the hook and catch phrase slipping through 16 bars in many studios.
Soon, other hip artists followed. These sightings did not come across the television screen once in a while, but quite often. The repetition grew and introduced a make shift marriage between hip-hop and adult entertainment. Artists like 50 Cent, Flo Rida, Snoop Dogg, Big Boi, and many more indulge in their attempts to let the world know that they have either met, know, or have had business or personal relationships with people in the adult entertainment industry. My question is…………….. Is the mainstream public ready to be guest of this informal union? Unfortunately this slow infiltration is ever growing despite the vigorous censorship attempts of those prudes on Capitol Hill and the Supreme Court. Clearly these two industries will continue to impact mainstream audiences sparingly depending on which coast you reside. Just take a trip to www.avn.com It is an online magazine catering to the adult entertainment industry which also has an annual award show for adult film. Flo Rida performed last year for best hip hop artist. So you tell me. www.avnawards.com Do hip hop and the adult entertainment industry mix?
As an outsider looking in, I attended an event in Los Angeles for research. This was a convention held strictly for adult entertainers, affiliates, web hosts, directors, producers, and musicians. Here is what I found……………..
When I went to Erotica LA 2007, I was exposed to a world that I would never envision. I only saw this kind of Erotica on the Playboy Channel or through my dirty collections of pleasurable DVDs. Meeting people in the adult entertainment industry was an extremely exciting and intoxicating experience for me, being a closet freak and all. Aside from my visit to Amsterdam, viewing Jenna Jamison, Evan Stone, and Ron Germy, I had no clue I was mixing and mingling with the best of them. I felt like Nicole Kidman without Tom Cruise because I did not want my eyes to be shut. That is exactly how I wanted it. I purposely did not watch any porn because being a NEO erotic writer in this industry. I did not want to make any preconceived notions or judgments. I wanted to talk to these entertainers and know them as a person, and not porn stars. I could look at them and have a moderate conversation without visions of them in the buff performing. As a result, I met a host of great industry stars amateur and professional. I had the time of my life. Tre’ Chamborg is hooked. I’m taking baby steps on this one guys. Please be gentle. I came home to Washington, DC and immediately viewed all the material of the people that I met in Erotica LA. Boy oh boy was I blushing. Wow. Kaylani Cream was on me in LA and now she is on the computer at home. She made me nervous there but seeing her work the screen and everything else made sent my mind into a tailspin. This woman is smart, beautiful, sexy, and yes……..a porn star. I made these same revelations with Ms. Panther, Jada Fire, Nina Hartley, Jeff & Raven of Trashy Entertainment, Sara Jay, Pinky, Shadow Cat, Evan Stone, and many more. I can’t leave out my #1 Crush Mr. Kato Cooks. Kisses!
The moral of the story is……………………..Never judge a book by the book’s cover or the contents. Just have an open mind and the guts to step outside the box.
To sum it all up, the adult lifestyle is no longer shunned in society. With the increasing intrigue of closet fanatics and the help of Hugh Heffner www.playboy.com , we are likely to see more to come. Music and the adult entertainment industry have been flirting for years. The courtship has crept through the big screen by long time porn producer Bennie Boom who recently released the smash hit comedy “Next Day Air”. Now how did this happen? Maybe the same way that Vanessa Del Rio stole the scene from the late Bernie Mac in “Soul Man.” For those who think this is a despicable thing………Close your eyes and plug your ears. This is a train that will not slow or stop. There will be more to come………

50 Cents VS Rick Ross

Just when you thought that the beef has run its course, the stakes have been raised higher. Leave it to 50 Cent to go to the extreme with his ongoing public dissing of Rick Ross. How this battle began is a distant memory compared to a recent promotional campaign led by 50 Cent and his alter-ego “Pimpin Curley”. In conjunction with his many vocal disses on Rick Ross’s “baby mama” Tia, 50 Cent has released an adult video. Here is the kicker. It was generated on a website for the entire world to see for FREE.
http://www.boobooty.com/ Some may even call this XXX release amateur porn. This video consists of the mother of Rick Ross’s child in raw footage performing various sexual acts with an unknown record executive. To add insult to injury, Pimpin’ Curley narrates the entire scene. This is not your general narration folks. This is an in your face diss session on the characters of Rick Ross and the mother of his child while chanting, “Officer Rickey” periodically throughout the 13 plus minute video. Despite evidence uncovered by the Smoking Gun that rapper Rick Ross was once employed as a Florida corrections officer, the rapper still denied he ever worked as a CO. So the Smoking Gun went out and got even more evidence. In a new set of documents, the website proves Ross is in denial about his old job, as the Department of Corrections gave TSG an 86-page file on the rapper’s employment, including copies of his birth certificate and his social security card. TSG points out that the address on his application matches that of his mother’s home, and that the name of his mother on the application also happens to be the name of his mother, as evidenced by Trilla liner notes. Despite the report, at least one rapper is standing by Ross’ enormous side, as Trick Daddy said he has no problem with Ross and that the Boss of Miami would still appear on his next album. Now we all are aware of the ramifications of being involved in a “beef” with 50 Cent. Remember Fat Joe and Ja Rule. How about Murder Inc? Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that everyone should bite their tongues when it comes to crossing 50 Cent on wax, or any other forum. I just feel that you must be prepared for this guy to “GO HARD”, as our own DMV star Tabi Bonney would say. www.myspace.com/tabibonneyAlthough Rick Ross’s street credibility has been questioned in the past, due to his past employment gig as a corrections officer, “The Boss” has not backed down from 50’s assertiveness. He did so by releasing a few diss mixt- tapes of his own. Rick Ross goes on a rant by calling 50 Cent “a monkey”, suggesting that 50 purchase “suits that fit”, and questioning the sexuality of 50 Cent and G-Unit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gITFcswAYhg. This all pales in comparison to 50’s campaign on You Tube, mix-tapes, http://www.thisis50.com/, and the now famous http://www.boobooty.com/. (Currently disabled) Rick Ross was not prepared for 50’s arsenal of demeaning lyrics, interviews, and now the world- wide -web. I just hope that all of this nonsense does not destroy what Hip-Hop has worked so hard to recover from. We do not need another geographical war between two well known artists, who both are talented. Do Biggie and 2 Pac ring a bell? With 50’s latest stunt, in which some may consider a low blow, he has emptied the entire salt shaker into Rick Ross’s wounds. Yep, it seems that 50 Cent has the money and the power to take this beef to its grave. No pun intended. My question is, how long will this saga continue? A source tells TMZ 50 Cent plans to release a porn tape featuring one of Rick Ross' baby mamas. We're told 50 bought the tape and will post it on his own site -- and even provide voice-over on it. This is 50!
Guys can you please keep it as word play and do not let your ego destroy what Hip-Hop truly has truly incorporated. Don’t take away our UNITY. I find this whole Beef comical. This is just something to take my mind off the real things that we are face with daily like the recession, unemployment, a rising crime rate, and a lingering recession. Not all people may have my light-hearted views on this repetitious cycle of beef in the Hip-Hop community. Do me a favor guys. Keep it on wax and video, and keep this beef out of the streets you feel me. We want Hip-Hop to persevere, not regress.
