MOS DEF WILL PLAY CHUCK BERRY
03.31.08
Mos Def has been cast as Chuck Berry in the upcoming Chess Records period piece, Cadillac Records.
He joins Gabrielle Union (playing a girlfriend of Muddy Waters), Adrien Brody (Leonard Chess), Jeffrey Wright (Muddy Waters), Columbus Short (Little Walter), Eamonn Walker (Howlin’ Wolf), Beyoncé Knowles (Etta James), and Cedric the Entertainer (Willie Dixon).
Chuck Berry famously got the idea for Rock and Roll from his cousin Marvin, who made Chuck listen live to a crazy white kid who’d traveled back in time and was filling in on guitar at the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance. The kid’s showboating briefly brought the dance to a halt, but Chuck knew he was on to something so he re-recorded the song note for note.
Berry also served jail time after some involvement with a 14-year-old waitress, and wrote a popular song called “Sweet Little 16”. I guess what I’m trying to say is, maybe they should’ve cast R. Kelly?

Dor sho gha! Chuck Berry kinda dances like Angus Young!
Did Mos Def name his kid Kinda Fly?
I think it was Sorta Dope.
my nickname in middle school was Hella Fat.
Most Definitely? AbsoNOTly!
That picture of Chuck looks just like the homeless man that yells at me every morning.
My nickname: Cup-O-Noodles.
Let’s not overlook his poo fetish and jailtime served for satisfying said poo fetish without the knowledge of aforementioned pooers!
He could play a guitar just like
snorting coke off a naked twelve year old’s thighringing a bell!That kid from the dance was my density.
I saw a great video of Chuck pissing on his wife in a hotel bathroom. Best quote? "Awwww, did ah get piss in yo eye?" It was said very lovingly.
"Who you calling "Spook", Peckerwood?"
I heard a quote once, I think it was from Muddy Waters, that went something like "I’ve got a girl that’s so young, she’s still got milk on her breath."
In that picture, Chuck is signaling to his stage manager how many white chicks he wants waiting for him backstage. One leg off the ground means "gimme skinny bitches", while both feet on the ground means, "pappy’s going hoggin".
Notice how no one was ever concerned with Back To The Future’s status as a family movie, even though the part with Biff and Marty’s mom is essentially a rape scene?
That’s why Biff is the man. JHC, Nice.
"I need someone to piss on a leggy, blonde white woman. Get me Chcuk Berry!"
Message from space:
SEND MORE CHUCK BERRY.
My buddy who showed me the video reminds me of the best line of all. After pissing all over his wife in the bathtub, he says sweetly "Ah’d kiss you, baby, but ya smell like piss."
Also get me Chuck Berry. He would be good too.
Coolio will provide the film’s catering.

I always thought that Walter Payton would have made a good Chuck Berry in a biopic.
Especially now that he has passed away.
Wait…Chuck Berry is still alive?
Urine for a treat with the Chuckberry smoothie: dark chocolate and nuts with a hint of piss.
