Off the Wall

Sometimes you just want someone to call........




Micheal Jackson owes Rick James 100 pieces of bling and a young teen girl.



Relax by the poolside with the Ladies....



Apparently, there were huge hip-hop block parties in the New York City area in the late 1970s. Sylvia Robinson, a producer and record label owner from Englewood, New Jersey recruited three local boys, Master Gee (Guy O'Brien), Wonder Mike (Michael Wright) and Big Bank Hank (Henry Jackson) to come together.

Big Bank Hank is an interesting character. In the song, "Rapper's Delight", Big Bank Hank tries to convince Lois Lane to drop Superman as her boyfriend: "He's a fairy, I do suppose/flying through the air in panty hose...He can't satisfy you with his little worm, but I can bust you out with my super sperm".

Bust you out with my super sperm? Allegedly, Big Bank Hank has super sperm instead super powers. Which would you choose? Super Powers or Super Sperm? Does Kryptonite kill super sperm?

Also in "Rapper's Delight", Big Bank Hank chants,"Ho-tel, Mo-tel, what you gonna do today (say what)/I'm gonna get a fly girl, gonna get some spank n' drive off in a def O.J," three times.

Apparently, a def OJ is a fancy car. In the 1970's Hertz Car Rental Company did a number of car rental commercials that featured OJ Simpson.




And in case you didn't know, the bass line in Rapper's Delight was ripped from Chic's "Good Times". Happy Days are here again? Perhaps. The song promises, that if you put an end to stress and strife, live the sporty life and leave your cares behind you will have good times. Chic made big promises in 1979.
