Jamie Kennedy: Blowin' Up!

by: Latesha Williams

You know him best as Randy from the Scream movie franchise, and as your favorite comedian-turned-wanna-be-white-boy-rapper “B-Rad”, but Jamie Kennedy is now taking his white boy rap routine and turning it into a full-fledged show called “Blowin Up”, courtesy of the good folks at MTV.

VIBE.com: We’re going to start off with word associations, I’m going to say a word and you tell me what comes to mind.

Jamie Kennedy: Ok.

You’ve been punk’d!

J.K.: Ughck!

Kevin Federline...

J.K.: I like him. Let me see? Keven Federline? Malibu!

I’m feeling woozie here!

J.K.: Sizzurp!

Rope Chains?

J.K.: Salt-N-Pepa.

Scientology...

J.K.: Tomkat.

Gnarls Barkley?

J.K.: Off the hook!

Mandals...

J.K.: Comfortable.

The Hyphy Movement.

J.K.: The next thing.

Blowin Up?

J.K.: Off the chain!

Hypemen?

right J.K.: Necessary!

How would you sum up the plot of your show Blowin' Up?

J.K.: Me and my boy Stu Stone are trying to break into the record business and we’re finding out its much easier for rappers to become actors than it is for actors to become rappers.

You filmed with some hip hop moguls during the taping of Blowin' Up. Did any of the moguls or artists give you any trouble during the filming?

J.K.: No trouble. I got a lot of advice and I got some help along the way. Russell Simmons, who was kind enough to take a meeting, said he couldn’t deal with us because he only deals with people who have real struggles, but he did hit us up and say take some polos and some jeans.

What is your fascination with white rappers? Do you really want to be one or are you just making fun of them?

J.K.: No, I love rap in general, I just happen to be white so I do have a fascination with it, but I do like to rap and I do want to rap. I’m also just fascinated with hip hop because its always something that I was raised with and it made me feel cool. White rappers are interesting in their own sense. It’s harder for them to break in the game.

Who are your favorite rappers?

J.K.: Well, in my case, I like more old school. I like EPMD, LL, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Def Jeff, Schooly D, Special Ed. I like 3rd Base, KRS-One, Scott LaRock, Pete Nice, I’m all about New York. Mobb Depp, that was all me. And then as I got older and I moved out to the west coast, that’s when I started getting into N.W.A, Ice Tea, King Tee.

Sooo, what kind of girls does Jamie Kennedy like?

J.K.: Im into girls who got that look in their eyes. You know, when you look at a girl in the eye, her eyes are smiling at you and they have that thing like “ooh, I got a secret”, like “I see you.” That’s what I like.

What would your ideal movie role be?

J.K.: Actually I’d like to do a movie with Eddie Murphy cause he’s kind of like my idol. I'll probably do a couple of different characters while he does a couple of different characters.

If a sandwich was created in your honor, what would be on it?

J.K.: A nice amount of turkey, a good hunk of turkey, some onions on it to give it some spice, gonna have to have the bread, multi grain, a lot of flavors, some lettuce to help, you know, get your fiber, but also the main ingredient: you have to have the mayonnaise. Is that weird? I don’t mean it in that way, I mean in white boy mayonnaise way. Can’t go wrong with mayonnaise.

What is your dream rap collabo?

J.K.: I just did something, Im not saying nothing, I might have just did something with Paul Wall and that was pretty dreamy!

Did he give you a grill?

J.K.: Maybe.

Drop a freestyle for Vibe.com, since you love to rap!

J.K.: Well I have a song about stalking celebrity girls. "Fuck Lindsey Lohan, give me Mindy Cohan, in Pooty juicy booty, now that’s a blow jam!"

What’s next for Jaime Kennedy?

J.K.: Shoot, just going on myspace and trying to get people to stop hating!
