"They Cloned Tyrone" on Netflix is sooooo much better than it needed to be. Juel Taylor used tropes perfectly and hilariously and depressingly to launch an immanent critique of and and from an African American epistemology. So many bits and pieces of urban folklore and deep cultural references and so much heart and mind.

I learned that a song recorded for the soundtrack of this bizarro movie had one of the main breaks used by DJ Kool Herc for his 'Merry Go Round' technique. So this crazy-ass played a part in the birth of .

Have you seen this, or even heard of it? I saw it once when I was like 7. The premise: "Doctors are forced to transplant the head of a dying, racist surgeon onto the body of a black death row inmate."

Someone prolly got really drunk and came up with the scenario: What if a racist ass MF got stuck with the body of a black man? And to make it more interesting, he can't hide inside the body AND the black dude is there too.

The social commentary went over my head. I'd watch anything that was remotely or just plain weird - and there's not much weirder than this. It looked soooo fake. And since I LOVED , I was fine with that had logical & other inconsistencies.

If you want to know more about the song, check out out the where I learned this : youtube.com/watch?v=xBYiWbfv_D
