it was close to midnight when dj mojo jojo sent me an sms regarding this thursday's good times with mo. the latino rap superstar, baby bash, would come over the station (magic 89.9 fm) to promote his show coinciding with the launch of the program "boys night out" at alchemy.

mojo (and probably mo and andi 9) had this crazy idea of pitting miguel (little man guile) against baby bash...in a sort of rap showdown.

we didn't have much time to prepare so we just got the background music that guile used for his rap in big dee's playground. i initially thought of using baby bash's "cyclone" as the rap background music. but there was no time to search and download from the net.

no time for practice, but guile did his best. although shaking because he was in front of a rap superstar, guile delivered! and according to baby bash, he liked what he heard. he said that guile has good timing and fluidity in speaking (or rapping) - he will make it in the big scene!

as a parting shot, guile asked baby bash: "can you bring me to hollywood and make me a SUPPPAAHHHSTARRRR!!!!"

after all the pinoy-bashings in the american tv shows (questioning the credibility of medical schools in the philippines in desperate housewives and calling our ex-president cory aquino a "slut" in the daily show with jon stewart) here's another mention of our beloved country in britney spears' new song, PIECE OF ME.

is she speaking of the philippines as a respite, a get-away from all the craziness in america? a quiet place? an exact opposite of the hullabaloo in her own country?

listen to her new (leaked) song which i grabbed from youtube and www.pinoymoneytalk.com

and the complete lyrics:

Piece of Me
Britney Spears 

I'm Miss American Dream since I was 17
Don't matter if I step on the scene
Or sneak away to the Philippines
They still got pictures of my derriere in the magazine
You want a piece of me? You want a piece of me…

I'm Miss bad media karma
Another day another drama
Guess I can't see no harm
In working and being a mama
And with a kid on my arm
I'm still an exception
And you want a piece of me

I'm Mrs. Lifestyles of the rich and famous
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Oh my God that Britney's Shameless
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Extra! Extra! this just in
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. she's too big now she's too thin
(You want a piece of me)

I'm Mrs. 'You want a piece of me?'
Tryin' and pissin' me off
Well get in line with the paparazzi
Who's flippin' me off
Hopin' I'll resort to startin' havoc
And end up settlin' in court
Now are you sure you want a piece of me?

I'm Mrs. 'Most likely to get on TV for strippin' on the streets'
When getting the groceries, no, for real..
Are you kidding me?
Causing panic in the industry
I mean, please, do you want a piece of me?

I'm Mrs. Lifestyles of the rich and famous
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Oh my God that Britney's Shameless
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Extra! Extra! this just in
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. she's too big now she's too thin
(You want a piece of me)

I'm Miss American Dream since I was 17
Don't matter if I step on the scene
Or sneak away to the Philippines
They still got pictures of my derriere in the magazine
You want a piece of me? You want a piece of me…

You want a piece of me?

I'm Mrs. Lifestyles of the rich and famous
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Oh my God that Britney's Shameless
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Exta! Extra! this just in
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. she's too big now she's too thin
(You want a piece of me)
