Jaimee Foxx as Bob Marley??? Ok, Ray Charles, no problem.
Stellar performance even.
But Bob Marley?!

Hmmmmmm.....

speaking of Marley, there, Joe, why don't you read my music suggestions thread and offer your two cents worth, Mistah DJ Mon?

This will require much ganja and a consultation with Jah.

Jamie Foxx can play anyone. I'd love to cast him in my Marion Barry biopic.

Jamie Foxx can play anyone.

I'm considering him for Oscar Wilde, myself.

posted by jonmc 09 June | 12:56

He'd be better as Oscar Wilde than Oscar Wilde was, that's for sure.

Man, i fucking hate Jaimee Foxx. He did a great job as Ray, but it dun gone to his head, now that he's in the Oscar club. He was somewhat bearable before, but now he's totally obnoxious. Give another brother a chance, I says. Why not a real Jamaican?

I second that Hellbient. Jamie Foxx is so played.

He'd still make a great Marion Barry.

He'd make a "DOPE" Marion Barry!!!! LOL.
And you should cast Halle Berry as the ho'

I hear Ocsar callin' you, Hugh!

posted by Joe Famous 09 June | 13:12

Yeah, I can't deny he'd be wouldn't be a great Marion Barry. That cracks me up. Can I give you some Go-Go tracks for the soundtrack, Hugh?

posted by Hellbient 09 June | 13:13

Helllllll yeah! I wuz raised on go-go, man! MORE COWBELL! IT NEEDS MORE COWBELL!!!!!

posted by Hugh Janus 09 June | 13:16

It really is all about the cowbell. Cowbell solo!!
And let's not forget handclaps.

Do you know DJ Flexx?

posted by Hellbient 09 June | 13:56

DJ Flexx... he's (or was) on WPGC? The Water Dance, right.

posted by Hugh Janus 09 June | 14:05

Jamie Foxx as Marley? Might be okay.

Jesse L. Martin as Marvin? Should be freakin' amazing.

posted by grabbingsand 09 June | 14:31

oh was he on PGC? I only know of him from my NY days. Yeah, Water Dance, but he's got much better tracks than that, IMO...

posted by Hellbient 09 June | 14:32

Yeah, I'll have to listen... my go-go listening slowed in the early 90's, so he's part of the new breed, but I've heard some of his big stuff. Water Dance was huge in DC for a while, is why I mention it.

posted by Hugh Janus 09 June | 14:46

Yeah, he's the only fella around now doing something with the genre (as far as I know). I'm really interested in the guy, although he's kinda all over the place, but his bangers are just that. I really want to see him live. I'll hook you up with some YSIs when I home it.
