Agh! Fuuuu..........................dggge Puddin Pops!

Something about this movie...always loved it. Even funnier - seeing Bill Cosby, portray a role as a hustler...despite his recent rants and tirades about the hustling lifestyle. Now don't get me wrong but let's be 100% honest. Bill Cosby does have some points, in what he's saying. Raise ya kids, feed ya kids, be a role model to your kids, teach em' right from wrong...but then again, think about it:

Biggie Smalls...that was Notorious B.I.G's original name before legal issues prompted the change, obviously was influenced by this movie Bill Cosby was in

Farnsworth Bentley...he got that from Bootney Farnsworth, Jimmie Walker's character in the same movie

"Let's Do It Again" ironically has influenced some of the very rap music Cosby ain't too crazy about. Don't get me wrong, the movie is cool cause its on some "robbin for the hood" type ish...but let's be real. You got pimps, hustlers, gamblers, and money grubbin preachers all up in this flick. Ice cold as a pudding pop he may be - but Bill, even in your heyday younger generations were looking up to you as well and it wasn't like they didn't have a little help in creating these personas that exist in hip hop today. Humility would go lengths in this department...remember dude you had a few *indiscretions and illegitmacies of your own*. Use that as a means to level with people, cause wholesale criticizing ain't gonna go far to help the youth, if you get on the soapbox - but act like you ain't got some dirt in your past too.

Now with that said I'm late'ish in upping these but two joints directly and indirectly inspired by Mr. Heathcliff Huxtable himself. First

"Everybody" Farnsworth Bentley feat. Kanye, Andre + Sa-Ra, destined to be a club banger

And "That's Life" Killer Mike, not 100% my endorsement -but the track is tight and certainly can't say Mike isn't making some sureshot accurate observations on most of what he says
