This is chapter 2 of the True Hollywood
Story of the Ninja Turtles
Chapter 2: Michaelangelo's story
The nicest, most sensitive and most funniest of them all, Michaelangelo
Allen
Jamison was always the party guy. He's also the most innocent.
Sometimes,
that could come with a price.
Donatello:This was mainly because Raphael kept messing with him,
saying he's
real soft and junk like that. Well, Michaelangelo is kinda soft,
but when it
comes to fighting, he kicks some major (bleep).
Michaelangelo may not mean to do bad things on purpose, but this
issue has
been sneaking up on him. On January 31st of 1987, Raphael was
taunting
Michaelangelo, just plain out hurting his feelings. Then one hour
of torments
later, it happened. Michaelangelo immediately went on an emotional
rampage
and was arrested by Shredder, who was the Turtle's neighbors at
the time.
Shredder:I was just trying to listen to LL Cool J's new single
called "I'm
Bad" but I could'nt even hear that (bleep) all 'cuz those (bleep)in'
turtles
(bleep)ed it up for me! I mean, Michaelangelo was just crying
really really
loud!! Louder than the (bleep)in' THX theme sound on full stereo
that is
louder than an atomic bomb!!!! That's why I arrested those mutha(bleep)as!
I
wanted to kill them very, very badly, but I just had a bad day
that day and
did'nt feel like getting possibly caught. It was just plain, straight
up
bull(bleep)!!!
Michaelangelo was arrested and charged with disturbing the peace.
He did'nt
have to serve any time in prision, he was just fined for $3,000.
Then, the
next rampage was just too much. Back in September of 1989, while
putting the
final touches on their first feature film to be released the following
year,
Raphael's been at it again messing with Michaelangelo. Then, Michaelangelo's
next emotional rampage was extreme enough to have him locked in
a nuthouse,
and that's what happened, too. Shredder, annoyed with Michaelangelo
again,
called Pine Rest on him. They came, and put Michaelangelo in a
straightjacket, and tossed him into a van for mental patients.
Michaelangelo
had to spend a year in Pine Rest, where he was still straightjacketed,
tossed
in a solitary confinement asylum, and been fed nothing but cheese
sandwiches,
milk and pills.
Raphael:It was (bleep)ed up. It's ridiculous. Here I am, locked
up in a
mental facility. Even though I ain't do it on purpose, I still
feeled like a
stupid-(bleep). When I got out, all people could call me was El
Stupido. The
food there was terrible! They fed me ungrilled cheese sandwiches.
When I eat
that stuff, I prefer mine grilled on a skillet, but their's were'nt,
which
made it taste nasty to me. I kept refusing to eat. Then they force-fed
me
with a stomach tube. Hours after that, I started getting really
sick, then
I'd repeatedly start vomiting. It's their fault why I was this
way. Then I
asked for pizza, they game me a week old slice with maggots and
everything.
It was one (bleep)ed up place to go, yo. For real, man.
This is'nt the 1st time he's gotten in trouble when Michaelangelo
himself
is'nt the motive. In 1997, bored with the new TV series they were
doing, he
started a singing career on Apocolypse Records and released his
debut called
"Serious As A Mutha". His 1st smash hit single "The Beginning"
had sampled a
song without permission. They told Michaelangelo that he could
sample the
song, but they really wanted to trick him out of his money.
Michaelangelo:I got sued by the Bone Thugs N Harmony. I wanted
to sample "1st
Of Tha' Month" from them. I asked them personally, but they said
we gotta
speak with your lawyers on this. So I told them to speak to them,
and that
I'll pay them $1,000 to do it. But later, I discovered I was gypped.
His lawyers were'nt even lawyers. They were wannabes who just
wanted to put
money in their pockets. They scammed Michaelangelo into giving
out money to
them. On June 14th of '97, the lawsuits began. Ruthless Records,
home of the
Bone Thugs N Harmony, sued Apocolypse Records and Michaelangelo
for sampling
their song without proper permission. Ruthless Records won the
case, and
Michaelangelo and his record label were forced to cough up $4.5
million to
Ruthless.
Michaelangelo:I almost went bankrupt. All I had left after this
was just $25.
But now, things look more brighter for this young, enthusiastic
youngster.
He's currently filming a new Ninja Turtle movie with his comrads
(Raphael is
getting replaced with a lookalike due to his arrest), and is back
in the
studio finishing up his new album to be titled "Scythe" and is
said to be
released sometime this October.
