Dave Chapelle better be on the lookout, because actor and standup comedian Benji Brown - a.k.a. KiKi - is on his heels, turning heads with his new comedic DVD, In Touch with Reality.
As one of the world’s premiere adult video magazines, Sex and the Studio is back with volume two, proving again that music and sex is always a good combination. This is the formula you need to “bang” out good music.
This DVD is mistitled. It should be called Hood Tales, or A Tale of Two Cities. Comedian Larry Dogg, otherwise known as Street Dogg, takes you on a wild and hilarious journey from the thuggedout streets of Liberty City to the glitz and glamour of South Beach.
Brown appears regularly on BET’s Comic View and is a star on one of Miami’s hottest radio morning shows. Anybody who who watches this DVD is gonna be laughing their ass off. Brown’s DVD, In Touch With Reality, deals with some skits about reality TV shows as well as everyday things that happen in the hood. The jokes and skits are hilarious. A few standout moments on the DVD include Brown’s spoof of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video: “Crackheads.” TV shows like The Dating Game and Elimidate are spoofed with new names like “ElimAHo.” Fear Factor becomes Queer Factor, and Nick and Jessica’s MTV Newlyweds show isn’t exempt either. His comedic genius really shines through when Brown changes his vocals into the high-pitched lady voice and persona of KiKi. If you’d never seen Benji Brown perform on BET or at your local comedy club, make sure you check for him. You’ll definitely leave laughing.

Money B, Digital Underground’s Cleetis Mack, and porn star Obsession host this DVD magazine. Money B and his crew take you on a journey to many American cities, interviewing some of the biggest hip-hop stars like Ludacris and Bonecrusher as well as superstar athletes. When we arrive in the beautiful city of Rio de Janiero in Brazil, that’s where the action really heats up. Money B starts with a tour of the city and ends with a hot sex scene featuring three beautiful Brazilian actresses and one male Brazilian porn star. Porn star Mr. Marcus also makes an appearance, doing a threesome with two Asian actresses. All in all, the DVD features four hot sex scenes. However, it isn’t all about sex. Featured interviews include industry heavy hitters like DJ Premiere. Money B’s interview with Randy Jackson of the Jackson Five is hilarious. We also meet an Asian chick who says she bedded Michael Jordan. Coolo teaches a new sexual position, and admits that he pays for sex!
Benji’s got a promising future. You can look for him in P Diddy’s upcoming Bad Boys of Comedy. If you can’t wait to see him live, go ahead and purchase this DVD.
The bonus soundtrack has seventeen tracks, featuring new songs from Digital Underground, Xzibit, Yukmouth, Bun B, Money B, and more. It’s a must for fans of West coast music.

Liberty City is filled with pimps, hoes, crackheads, drug dealers, boosters, and gangstas busting their guns in parking lots. Street Dogg shows us this side of life in Miami, complete with good ol’ fashioned beat-downs. On the flip side, Street Dogg takes us away from the hood and shows us the weekend vacation getaways across the bridge. If you interview residents from either side of the bridge in Miami, you’re bound to get a story. When a certified comedian interviews residents, you’re bound to get a funny hood tale. All throughout this DVD, Street Dogg takes you through the thick drama of South Beach. In addition to the street fistfights and parking lot shootouts, there’s live concert footage from the likes of 50 Cent, Petey Pablo, Mystikal, and B.G. The DVD also features Interviews with hip-hop stars like Lil Wayne, Loon and Lil Jon. Even though it’s a low budget comedy, Street Dogg still gives you something to think about. For example, he discusses the fact that high-priced clothier Von Dutch was an active racist, and yet hip-hop stars like Missy Elliott and Jay-Z still support his clothing. It’s interesting to see that even after the Tommy Hilfiger incident, blacks will still unknowingly support a racist in their drive to set trends. As Kanye West says, “Nigga, you ain’t up on this.” Overall, this is a good and funny DVD. Street Dogg’s performance stands out, and there’s plenty of funny skits about reggae artists and Haitians. There’s two Miamis: the one mainstream America visits on vacation, and the one where there’s families trying to survive. This is the Miami that everyone should visit. - Malik Abdul, malik@ozonemag.com
