Some fine young local lads were inspired to create some poetry set to music in a way that reminds one of Coleridge and even Jim Morrison. Shades of Elliot's nihilism as well as elements of Nietzsche's Superman appear in their work. Set to an intense rhythmic beat, such poetry is powerful as it combines hope and hopelessness into one video. Enjoy.

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

This is really going to look good on a job resume.
Jackson the bold new city.
BullSh*t!!!!!
Any actual evidence of a "break in", or are you just assuming?
Stacey Abrams approves this video.
I’ll let em have this one, at least the shit rhymes, rare for 2020
Do your homework for a once Kingfish. Their production filed all the proper permits and they had the owner's verbal permission.
Spoke to owner this morning. Said he didn't.
Wouldn't this be considered a racist video. Black "gangstas". White "cops".
Can't we all just get along?
Not bad for a local rapper.
I'm a conservative white male and I don't believe this production was pulled off without permission from someone with apparent or actual authority. The owner is embarrassed by the video and is lying.
These are artists. Not thugs. Thugs hurt people. Thugs rob, rape, steal. Artists inspire people and contribute to the expansion of global consciousness.
Just because it isn't dad rock doesn't make it worth less than that crap you like. I personally consider K-Pop the pinnacle of artistry.
Prefer YoungMC myself. Was working out to some Death Grips a few nights ago.
I didn't understand a single word, but it was a much better production than anything MTV has aired in 20 years.
The guy is obviously talented. Too bad he believes he has to pose as a crack dealer to sell his music. (Maybe he isn't posing - it's impossible for me to tell the difference)
@11:06
Elvis and Pat Boone would be so proud of the K-Pop world. The genre has appropriated so much from Americans(especially hip-hop and pop), that it is ridiculous.
Whiskey glasses could view this as Success. Sadly, much of their audience is adolescent and truly believe the cash makes them powerful.
@10:12! Permits!! How about breaking and entering! Trespassing. I own the building, I actually pay extra property taxes for enhanced security as part of the downtown Jackson BID district. If asked and insurance certificates provided more than likely would have granted access. Instead,I spend on average $1000.00 per month cleaning up debris caused from individuals that more than likely are in your tax bracket!
10:32: please explain what about this video is inspiring and to whom it might inspire? And, global consciousness of what?
How many times was the "N" word said here? Maybe 40 times per minute?
@11:57
It inspires me to wait a few weeks and then break into this clown's property and film a rap video.
The tiresome grammar critics must not have read or have any respect for Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, James Joyce or Virginia Wolfe (to name a very few).
To ignore content based on a grammatical errors ( some of which can be used for emphasis) that don't change the sentence meaning or make it unclear is not just petty, but can be dangerous if the content contains needed information. If a mute were to hand you a note that read, " You house be on fyre", I suggest you not dismiss the content out of hand.
That said, I find it amusing that the lawyers are missing entirely that there are jurors in the room as well as others who witness the behaviors ( and harsh or friendly tones) of the judges and attorneys. Jurors and expert witnesses seem to be unmemorable outside the courtroom to judges and attorneys, however, they are indelible in our memories. It's been quite unnerving for some of us to hear the case to discussed in the corridors or later at social gathering both during and after.
While it is true than humans tend to favor those they know and like and the experienced tend to believe their experience always gives them superior insight, these are flaws in our species, not strengths. They are flaws that cause us to miss changes in our environment and errors in our thinking that may be critical.
Striving to be fair in the judicial system seems to me to necessitate a judge making sure the " inexperienced" and "less scholarly" attorney doesn't result in an unjust verdict. A trial isn't a ballgame and if your " win" results in injustice, it isn't a "win" and certainly damages the notion of justice in a society. And, intent or objective of a law vs the literal interpretation of words that may have been poorly chosen or cited without context or written in ignorance of new information seems something judges should weigh in ruling. And, when we humans get overly invested in the competition so as to forget why we are competing, there can be very bad consequences. Winning isn't a personal achievement if it's not fairly won.
How sad. We've gotten to this sorry point in time where the general public has little to no confidence in our judicial system or government because too many of you willingly dismiss fairness and honor in pursuit of a " win" and/or " profit" and/or political power.
Try The Golden Rule as your first thought. If your child got on drugs or was troubled or you were , God forbid, innocent like many on Death Row have been proven to be, are you ok with law enforcement being the judge and jury and prosecutors doing anything to win? Or, if you are a victim or family of a victim, are you ok with a smart lawyer getting the best of a young prosecutor and a judge letting that happen? Did you become attorneys just to make money and win arguments and justice be damned?
