The metro also had listings about....

Jada Pinkett Smith is in a nu-metal group called Wicked Wisdom-- I checked them out, and they ARE really nu metal. (i.e. prety horrible) The sad story of local golden boy, Jeff Allison, gone bad-- Former Marlins first-round draft pick OD's on Heroin. And finally, an article about trainwreck Tara Reid telling Perez Hilton "I'm the wrong person to fuck with" Something for everyone this morning, eh?

Will Smith's wife in metal isn't as surprising as it seems after all of her involvement in the Rage Against The Machine fueled Matrix films. Also not surprised that it is horrible. Gina Gershon did the same thing a few years back. Who else? Jared Leto Billy Bob thornton Kevin Bacon Keanu Reeves

"The Night Tara Reid Threatened To Hurt Us" excellent song or album title

Chuck D. Trav and I saw him play with his nu-metal group right after he played with Public Enemy at a music festival in England, back in 1995. This was back in the day when Flav was only just a LITTLE annoying. The band were pretty horrible. They played back-to-back, and Chuck joked about how he turned his cap backwards as his costume change. Trav-- which festival was this one?

the D-meister is far too cool for that - your thinking Ice T and Bodycount have to say the bodycount song about playing hide the sausage with the local klan chief's daughter is quite funny

Too true, too true. I have to blame the drugs for forgetting that one!

I heard this 'Confrontation Camp' cd at WUNH when it first came out in 2000. You said 1995 though, so maybe it was Body Count... While I love the hard rhymer Carlton Ridenhour just as much if not more than the next guy, this project was appalingly bad. Objects In The Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear Review 07/13/2005 6:49 AM, AMG If you've ever listened to Body Count, Kid Rock, or any of the dozens of other bands milking the rap-rock sound for all it's worth, you already know the formula behind this side-project featuring Public Enemy's Chuck D and Professor Griff: loud, screeching guitars + bombastic beats + in-your-face rap vocals = one big headache for all but the most diehard fans of the genre. But the blame can't fall on {Chuck D}'s head, as the greatest voice in hip-hop remains its most effective, with powerful lyrics and a booming tone that would make E.F. Hutton sit up and listen. Instead, the finger must be pointed at frontman Kyle Jason, whose vocals don't stand out from the cacophonous racket, and Chaingang, the four-piece band whose workmanlike funk/metal grooves sound like every other band who's ever tried this sound on for size. To be fair, songs like "Brake the Law" and "Carry My Load" show more than enough promise to suggest the band would be far more potent in a live setting. But Confrontation Camp is ultimately the victim of poor timing -- a decent band whose sound is a thing of the past. ~ Bret Love, All Music Guide
