Rick James – Ghetto Life lyrics:
When I was a young boy
Growing up in the ghetto
Hanging out on corners
Singing with the fellas
Looking for the cute chicks
Trying to find a bit of fun
Looking for some trouble
Or anyone who’ll give me some
When I was a young man
Kind of free and fancy
Met this little cute girl
She said her name was Nancy
She had pigtails to her shoulders
She couldn’t have been much older
She taught me what I had to know
To make a girl not want to go
She was very kinky
In the ghetto
She laid her pigtails down on me
In the ghetto
And I was feeling oh so sneaky
In the ghetto
I had to see what love could be
In the ghetto
Police believe the man broke into the gallery in the middle of the night May 22 by breaking a glass by the rear courtyard door. He took two framed Picasso etchings, ”Jacqueline Lisant” and ”Le Repas Frugel”, valued at $145,000 and $395,000.
He then tried to sell one of the paintings to a California art dealer, authorities said.
The owner of the Gallery Biba got a call from the California art dealer about an offer to purchase Le Repas Frugel. When the dealer checked the Art Loss Registry, she found that it was stolen.
The Suspect shipped her the painting.
The California art dealer told police said she had previously purchased another painting from the suspect which was stolen from a gallery in Washington D.C.
“Le bassin aux nymphéas,” or “Water Lily Pond,” sold for 40.9 million pounds (51.7 million euros, 80.5 million dollars) at Christie’s in London by an unidentified woman in the front row.
This piece was part of a four-work collection of water lily paintings Monet busted out.
The painting fetched a pretty heavy price since it had previously sold purchased in a 1971 New York auction for $320,000. It had remained in private hands since.
This painting shattered the auction record for the French impressionist artist. Last May, “Le Pont du chemin de fer a Argenteuil” sold for $41.4 million.
Monet painted the masterpiece at his crib in Giverny in 1919, and it is one of four that he signed and dated that year.
Of the other three, one is kicking it in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, another has been divided, while the third is in private hands.
The art world keeps on plugging away despite the weak world economy.
“The Scream” (1893) and “Madonna”(1893-94) by Edvard Munch will go back on display at the Munch Museum in Oslo. Both paintings were stolen and unfortunately damaged in a 2004 heist.
Repairs to the paintings, that were damaged as they were torn from the walls of the museum, are almost complete.
Heistmen gaffled the paintings during the day, during museum hours in a daring if not artistic heist (no pun intended).
The two espressionist masterworks, valued at 110 million dollars at the time of the heist, were later recovered in 2006. Two men involved in the heist are behind bars.
Security is now increased at the Munch Museum.
This heist was considered wack by most pros since the masterpieces were damaged. It doesn’t matter if you are heisting fly girls or fly paintings, you need to respect your target and The Game.
