this would look lovely next to my grandfather clock and the fine china…..are you kidding me? a shadowbox full of nwa tennis balls….I think the price is making me laugh the most!
oooh! i always thought in “Fuck tha Police”, Dre was saying “you’d rather see me in the pen..” but I guess he was really saying “you’d better see me, i’m a PENN”…
So, the wood they’re mounted on and the wooden shadowbox are made from some rare type of wood that can only be harvested under the blue moon on a Leap Year, sawed by ten virgins who all drink from the same bottle of Kahlua before being used in this “art”, right?
I mean, how else can the “artist” justify the price tag?
Straight outta Compton, crazy motherfucker named Ice Cube
From the gang called Niggaz With Attitudes
When I’m called off, I got my tennis ball out.
Squeeze the ball, and paint the fucka out.
You too, boy, if ya fuck with me
I’ll paint a ball of you and mount it and sell it G.
so i went to a spot where ma homeboys chill
the fellas out there playin dat tennis
i pulled up in ma 6 fo’ impala
they greet me wit a 40 (& a racket)and i start drinkin
and from the 8 ball, my breath starts stinkin
“‘Cause the boyz in the hood are always hard
Come talkin’ that trash and we’ll pull your card
Knowin’ nothin’ in life but to be legit
Don’t quote me, boy, I ain’t said shit”
This is actually a long awaited retaliation by Dee Barnes. What better (legal) way to get revenge than to put the faces of NWA on tennis balls and beat the crap out of them, like Dre did her.
You know, other than that 20-some million dollar lawsuit.

Can I buy Ice Cube alone for $150? I’m a little strapped for cash.
January 20, 2010 at 1:28 pm
Hell I’d pay twice that for Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg tennis balls…

$750 for 2 1/2 tennis balls shiteously painted to look like gangstas and glued to a board? Can anyone say “DELUSIONAL”?

I was on the bus years ago and a 75 or so year old man wearing an NWA hat. I think even he would say, “Jump back, that’s just wrong.”

I bet you EZ E is staring down at this from heaven right now and saying, “Dang, I always wanted to be a tennis ball. Thank you Jesus!”

If life immitates art, it’s actually more likely that the members of NWA …will be framed and put into a box before they’re mounted.
January 20, 2010 at 4:38 pm
doesn’t this go against everything that NWA stands for?! Just sayin.

Is the paint made out of unicorn blood? That’s the only way I imagine one arrives at a price of $750 for painted tennis balls.
