i just received and watched a copy of hip hop monologues: inside the life and mind of jim jones. that’s right jim jones. if you hadn’t heard about a month ago jim jones, dipset capo, jimmy himself stars in his own play with music from his new album set as the backdrop. creative? yes. successful? nope! as a man who enjoys theater i must say the acting was a mess. even some of the rapping had me all confused. highlight for me was a group rendition of “this is for my bitches”
theatrical genius?
well this leads me to today’s list. jimmy delved into theater and thus i ask what pieces of theater need to be produced. i present the top 5 plays or musicals that need to happen:

5.phantom of the urkel: the quest for princess winslow
can the love of nerd overcome the suave nature of his cooler sexier clone. who will princess winslow fall for? who will stop evil aunt rachel? where is judy? do the urkel dance!
choreographed by lil richie. nick cannon as steve urkel wesley jonathan (dude from “city guys” that looked just like cannon) as stephon

3.the producers

2.legally blind the musical
