Happy Birthday to the Diggy Diggy Doc, Y’All


The DOC, who turns 41 today, burst onto the hip hop scene in 1989 with the Dr. Dre-produced album No One Can Do It Better. Allmusic gave it a 5 star rating and it looked like he was going to be a major rap superstar. But shortly after the album was released, he was involved in a car accident and shattered his larynx. His rap career was ruined, and he has since stayed behind the scenes, ghostwriting songs for Dr. Dre. Here is an interview done with the DOC a few months ago.

Pizza Hunt II

pizzahuntSome of you old schoolers may remember our 2006 hunt for the best pizza in Philly. We had a lot of fun, and ate a lot of pizza. Well, I’m about ready to do it again. Some spots we will be sure to hit again, such as our 2006 winners Tacconelli’s, Tony’s, and Mama Palma’s. But I want to try some new places too. And this year we are going to add the excitement of moving pictures to our hunt! That’s right, we’re gonna drag out the video camera to various spots around the city. So now the rest is up to you. Where should we go to find the best pizza in Philadelphia? Let me know in the comments.

Who Should Play the A-Team in the A-Team Movie?

ateam2Liam Neeson is in talks to do an A-Team movie next year. I think he’s a decent choice as Hannibal, but I think Tommy Lee Jones would be better.  Bradley Cooper (never heard of him) is in talks to be Face. I’d prefer Pierce Brosnan. That leaves two roles to be filled: Murdoch and B.A. Baracus. I think Jim Carey would be perfect for Murdoch. Common is rumored to vying for the Baracus role. No way. Common is a great rapper, but he is far from badass. If you’re gonna go the rapper route, I would say Ice Cube. Otherwise, I would say Chad L. Coleman, the guy who played Cutty in The Wire, would be perfect. Then again, why not simply hire Mr. T to play Baracus? So what is your dream A-Team Movie lineup? Post it in the comments.
