Dude never got into any personal beefs on here, and yet Finite (no typo) is criticizing the guy cuz he's not what Finite expects from him.

My previous post wasn't meant to diss you infinite or make any enemies. It's just frustrating to read your assumptions when you haven't a clue what it took to take us the places we went.
Anyway Jack you're right we had a song on the 'Scary Movie 5' soundtrack. If you watch until the end of the movie our song 'Ready For War' kicks in as Charlie Sheen has a threesome. Even getting those contracts worked out took upwards to a year. Initially they wanted three of our songs but like most things in the industry when things come to fruition it's a lot different than original plans.
Anyway here's the music vid for that song if anyone's interested. Although its a rock sound our music was still very hiphop : http://youtube.com/watch?v=7jwCyr0A2x0
On a funny little touring side note, on the first date of a solo Sen Dog tour (that's how we made our Cypress Hill connections, we toured with them later that summer) I believe we were in Milwaukee. Backstage Sen Dog thought I was the long haired dude from TMZ and he was keeping his distance, it wasn't until I introduced myself that he knew I wasn't. He was laughing hard and I had no clue why until he told me, we immediately became friends and he became a pivitol mentor for my band and I. We would talk for hours on the road about life, music and relationships among everything else guys talk about on long drives. He rolled in our tour van for a part of that tour because the vehicle he was supplied broke down. Of course we gladly took him in and picked his brain about anything we could think of. We were so broke on that tou because this was our third straight national tour in a row, since there was little time in between tours we had barely any time to work and make money for the road. Anyway this tour was in Feb-March so it was cold as hell, a few of the shows turnouts were lacklustre so we weren't making enough in merch sales to afford a hotel. When Sen found out us six guys were sleeping in our van in parking lots he invited us to bring our shit in their two rooms and sleep on their floors. From there it only got more amazing and we'd learn what a stand up guy and amazing human being Sen and his crew were. He started asking for more food and beer on his riders and would tell us what's his is ours. So here we are with Sen and his boys rolling around the US when I gathered up the balls to ask him if it was cool if we left our gear on stage and we come back up to close out his show with 'How I Could Just Kill A Man'. We had been performing the Rage Against The Machine version of it for years on the road and it would usually be the tipping point to get us over with an unfamiliar crowd. Anyway, the Detroit show was coming up on our tour which th closest to our hometown and he said let's do it. He said the last time he performed that version was with Rage years and years ago so he wasnt completely sure how it went. Boots and I assured him our cues would be on point and he would know what was going on. To think about it now I have to chuckle at how ballsy and sure of ourselves we were telling a hiphop legend not to worry, we'll hold it down and it'll be amazing. We had become very close and his trust in a group of long haired Canadian white boys was definitely established. Once he gave the ok, we got on the horn telling our hometown fans they gotta make the trek if they have the free time. In two days notice about 35-40 fans made it and the performance was incredible. Sen came up to me backstage with a big blunt in hand and told me It felt 'euphoric' performing with us (if I'm lying I'm dying). From there on out we performed kill a man for the rest of the tour together.
Anyway there's a couple stories. Have a good one :)
