Kobe’s Song
The long awaited (I guess) movie from Dale Davis’ company, Playas Ball, will premier in Houston three days before the all-star game. I’m not sure if you remember but this movie caused a stir a couple of years ago because it featured a character who signs a big endorsement deal and then gets accused of date rape. Not a very controversial story line — except the movie was wrapped right before Kobe got arrested for his extracurricular activities in Colorado.
Almost 3 years later, Dale Davis finally got a distributor and you should be able to see the film this year. The only real star in the movie is Allen Payne, who I remember seeing in a bunch of movies but can’t name a single one except CB4 where he had such memorable lines as “Yeah, yeah, I’m lickin’ your balls, best balls I ever had. Uh-huh, you’ve got King-Kong balls. Your balls are so large, just big balls, I don’t care. You just got big balls.” Let’s hope this isn’t what Playas Ball is about.
Also in the movie are Treach from Naughty by Nature and MC Lyte. This doesn’t bode well for the movie. The only rapper who ever could act was Vanilla Ice in Cool as Ice… I mean Tupac in Juice.
