I think we can recognize some aliked-celebrities in the Brothers of New Essex book. Tell us, Belasco...

in the story of "When theMaster Commands" Oasis get busy...

in a trois with a dreadlocked guy that maybe is Harold Perrineau? and the other, Ving Rhames ?

2Pac as the blow jobber?

Jamie Foxx as the bottom?

"Adebisi" from the OZ series as the top?

and maybe in "Nothing but feet and azz", can we see a George Michael-alike, and a Tyson Beckford / Tyrese alike moaning in pleasure?

I think of all those examples the only one I know I consciously (sp?) used a likeness of was TuPac as "All Day Sucka" from "When the Master Commands". But now that I look back on that story, I must have channeled a few of those actors you mentioned without realizing it. Although the one you labelled Adebisi was actually based on a stripper here in L.A. at the time who went by the name of 'Daddy' who's body inspired Boo's. In "Nuthin' But Feet N Azz" I didn't base any of those characters on celebrities but on actual types I've seen on the street and...elsewhere. smile
