DUD OF THE MONTH
Three 6 Mafia
"Last 2 Walk"
(Hypnotize
Minds/Columbia)
It's easy out there for an Oscar winner, but you'd never know it from these
entertainment moguls, who pretend or report that they're still investing in
mayhem, misogyny and sales careers whose main drawback is that they can get you
arrested. Case in point: Dat Dumbass Project Pat, who with three years in the
pen behind him adds extra soupcons of brutality just in case Hollywood has
turned Juicy J soft. Watch out, little brother. As Pat's fellow enforcer DJ Unk
puts it, he loves having sex, but he'd rather get some head.
