Ever since Tommy Boy act Pimpadelic came out with the upsettingly distasteful video for “Caught It From Me,” hip hop porn fans from Watts to Bed-Stuy have been wanting to see something really obscene. Now that snorting coke off strippers’ asses and then throwing baloney at them has been done, heads are ready for some real hardcore porn with their beats.
The latest video from the High & Mighty camp delivers on all counts. With Cage, Mr. Eon and DJ Mighty Mi at the helm, The Smut Peddlers have fused porn and promotion into a four minute piece of cinematic genius. Directed by B-movie master and industry low-life RA the Rugged Man and his business partner Francois Pinkie, the video for “Bottomfeeders” gives hip hop something it can truly be proud of. Get yourself a T1 and download that shit soon at easternconferencerecords.com or at cagevsalex.com.
VICE: I heard you shot this video in a massage parlor.
Mi: Yeah. The first day was in an abandoned massage parlor in Manhattan.
Eon: The second day we went out to a dominatrix dungeon in Long Island.
Who picked the girls?
Mi: RA got some. We had all kinds of freaks. They were really hot too but shit got a bit out of hand with dildos in transvestites’ asses and shit.

So I guess the video won’t make it to MTV?
Mi: Nah, we’re just gonna give’em all away. For a promotional buzz.
Eon: Eventually we’ll sell it on our website.
Any favorite scenes?
Cage: I like them all, but the vomit thing is the most bugged out. I was surprised that Eon was able to muster up that much puke.
Did you actually puke while fucking?
Eon: It was minestrone soup with peaches and beans. You could see the individual beans on the girl’s face.
Cage: I know it was fake, but if you were looking from the side, it was disgusting. They were making out with each other, then puking, then making out again. It’s a whole new fetish.
Eon: We’re gonna set a precedence in a lot of different ways.
Mi: How about the scene with RA? He was wearing a strap-on, but instead of a dildo it was a pistol. He was simulating penetration with a girl in a nurse’s outfit.
Eon: We definitely got our money’s worth.
How much money did you spend?
Eon: Ten to fifteen Gs. Low budget but high shock value.
How many hired girls were on the set?
Eon: Seven the first day, five the second.
Cage: The best was watching the dominatrix girls trying to dance. All robot-like (moving around like Dieter from Sprockets).
Eon: They were wearing these rubber suits and couldn’t even get up without a few tries. One of them had a giant python.
Mi: They were these butchy Long Island women.
Cage: Who looked like they got fifteen year-old kids back at the house.
Just curious, where is the dominatrix house?
Mi: Brentwood. Home of Erick and Parrish.
Did you see any autographed EPMD 8x10s?
Cage: Nah, but Erick Sermon’s name was carved into the gynecologist chair.
Eon: “Erick O’Nasis was here” [snaps an imaginary whip].
Cage: A gynecologist chair is usually a cool thing but not in a dominatrix spot.
Eon: They had the stirrups and all.
Beetlejuice couldn’t make it down for the video?
Eon: Nah he’s blowing up. Booked solid.
Cage: He had to do some midget tossing with Bill Gates at his BBQ.
Mi: Hope Gates gets enough alcohol for him.
Any quality drug scenes in the video?
Cage: I’ve got a good one. I’m in an Audi GT with that skinny, fake tit girl. We started with acid. I put a two-strip on her tongue. I got six in my mouth. Then we start doing bumps, starting mildly, then moving to pyramids of blow off her jugs. She becomes completely incoherent, then there’s blood all over her face. It’s pretty good.
Were the girls comfortable with the whole situation?
Eon: The first day was a little weird, but they all got into it eventually. The dominatrix girls, they were good actresses.
Cage: I almost feel bad for the puke girl, even though it was fake. Just to portray yourself like that. That’s gonna be a very memorable scene in a lot of people’s minds.
Would you work with them again?
Eon: I don’t know, you never work with the same girls twice.
Cage: It’s like that in real life, too.
What did you pay the girls?
Cage: The girl in my scene got $50 and a bag of fake coke. We gave her a huge bag of Vitamin B and she was so excited she left without taking the money.
Any ideas for the next flick?
Mi: Me and Eon have been talking about doing an Eastern Conference porno line based around JAPs (Jewish American Princesses). Like JAPs N’ Blacks, or JAPs N’ Straps. I think it could be successful since so many porn fans are Jewish.
The Smut Peddlers album, Porn Again, is out in January on Eastern Conference/Rawkus.
RA the Rugged Man responds: What are these guys talking about? “Directed by,”directed by,I fucking wrote, produced, budgeted, organized… I didn’t even let them approve the script, I just showed the fuck up and had everything planned out.
They wanted to do smut and they hired the king of it but they were scared to do half the shit they were supposed to. It was like they never seen naked bitches before. No bullshit. Eon kept telling me he didn’t want to do sex scenes because he had a girlfriend (no shit). I was like “you’re the fucking Smut Peddlers.” Ieven made the peaches and beans shit the fucker was talking about.
