In what might be my favorite move of the entire Bush presidency, George Bush has commuted the sentence of Refugee Camp All Star, John Forte, in the nick of time for the Ten Years-Gone-Remember Me-Version of “Ninety-Nine.” Apparently, the team of Orrin Hatch (?) and Carly Simon (??) were Forte’s most staunch advocates.
Little known fact: Forte is Phillips Exeter’s most hard body alumni since Ulysses S. Grant Jr.
Question to ponder: Does this mean Shyne is fuming in his cell?

Man…
“Nintey Nine” was one of the worst singles and videos of the 90s. It’s amazing how much rope Wyclef was given to hang the Fugee namebrand after biting the Bee Gees, Tribe,Enya, and “Killing Me Softly” for one hot summer. Sampling “99 Balloons” for a hip hop song isn’t even a good idea for GirlTalk.
The Refugee All-Star run post “Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” is among the worst collections of hip hop ever and this is up there with Wyclef’s collabo with Kenny Rogers and Pharoahe Monch.

I seriously wished I could have seen Talib Kweli’s reaction to this. The mixed emotions/confusion must have been crazy.
