# Dr. Greenthumb

"Dr. Greenthumb" is a song by American hip hop group Cypress Hill. It was released in 1998 through Ruffhouse/Columbia Records as the second single off of the group's fourth studio album IV. Recording sessions took place at Ameraycan Studios in North Hollywood. Written by members B-Real and DJ Muggs, it was produced by the latter. The Spanish version of the song retitled as ""Dr. Dedoverde" appeared in Los grandes éxitos en español. A music video for the song was directed by Estevan Oriol.
Domestically, the song peaked at number 70 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 57 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and number 14 on the Hot Rap Songs. In the United Kingdom, the single reached number 34 on the UK Singles Chart, number 7 on the UK Dance Singles Chart and number 9 on the UK Hip Hop and R&B Singles Chart. It also made it to number 47 in Germany.

## Plot

In the song B-Real introduces his alter-ego Dr. Greenthumb, a cannabis grower, telling the story from his perspective. It begins with a comical skit starring the titular salesman who speaks in an unusually high voice. He introduces the listener to his program where he will demonstrate how to grow the best marijuana whilst also providing canopies called "Sizzlean screens", which prevent the police force from looking down at their marijuana farms from their helicopters. A farmer named Jed is one of his clients and he explains how Dr. Greenthumb saved his life as he was harassed by the cops because of his marijuana farm. Dr. Greenthumb persuades the listener to call him all while smoking some of his own cannabis and hacking and coughing. The actual song begins at 1:15, although it is edited on certain releases which makes the song start at 0:59.
The name Dr. Greenthumb dates back to the 1970s cartoon Josie and the Pussycats, where the name referred to a villain who ruled "creature plants". It is unclear if this title was lifted by Cypress Hill.
The name "Dr. Greenthumb" was later used in "Tell Me When to Go" by E-40. The song's backing rhythm is sampled from the first few seconds of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" cover by The 50 Guitars of Tommy Garrett, which is repeated throughout the duration of the song.

# Per Brahe statue

The Per Brahe statue (Finnish: Pietari Brahen patsas, Swedish: Per Brahes staty) is a monument of Per Brahe the Younger, the Governor-General of Finland and first chancellor of the Academy of Turku, located in Brahenpuisto [fi] in Turku, Finland. It was designed by Walter Runeberg and unveiled in 1888.
The statue is made of bronze and stands 2.95 metres (9 ft 8 in) high. The base is made of red granite, standing 4 metres (13 ft) high. The base has the Swedish text Iagh war med landett och landett med mig wääl tillfreds ("I was satisfied with my country and my country satisfied with me").
Runeberg had previously made a statue for the base in Brahenpuisto, but the base was too small; so this earlier statue was sold to Raahe, where it was placed in the Pekkatori square in the city centre. Runeberg sculpted the one seen in Turku later the same year.
Other statues of Brahe are located in Raahe (slightly larger copy of the work by Walter Runeberg also from 1888), Lieksa (1953), and Kajaani (1954) in Finland; in Gränna (1916), Sweden.

# Bridging the Gap (Charlie Wilson album)

Bridging the Gap is the second studio album by Charlie Wilson, a member of the R&B group The Gap Band. It was released on November 14, 2000, through Interscope Records. The album debuted at number 184 on the US Billboard 200 and managed to peak at number 152 on the chart.

## Critical reception

Professional ratings :
| Review scores ||
| Source | Rating |
| AllMusic | |
AllMusic rated the album two out of five stars and wrote: "Wilson is equally comfortable with the percolating, hip-hop-inflected jump of the opening cut "Absolutely," the tender, Stevie Wonder-influenced ministrations of the love ballad "For Your Love," or the unapologetically titled "Big Pimpin'," wherein our mack daddy tells the object of his desire "if you're not planning to stay/let me help you on your way." Wilson's fluid tenor provides him equal access to all these soul scenarios. The state-of-the-art production keeps things sounding seamless no matter which direction the appropriately named Bridging the Gap takes." Billboard found that Wilson "scores a home run with his first solo set" and described the album as a "mix of R&B/hip-hop finds the veteran doing just that, teaming up with such contempo- raries as Case, Angie Stone, Snoop Dogg, Mare Nelson, Nate Dogg, and Chris "Tricky" Stewart [...] Uncle Charlie proves he's still a player."

## Chart performance

Bridging the Gap peaked at number 152 on the US Billboard 200 and number 30 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. By January 2009, it had sold 195,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
