Back in June we posted an amazing video of Dennis Haskins (Mr. Belding from Saved by the Bell, and one-time With Leather chat guest) introducing rapper Action Bronson at one of his concerts. This seemed like the best possible story because the phrase “Mr. Belding is a hype man for rappers now” is fantastic in about four or five different ways. But somehow, against the odds, it just went and got even better.
You see, Action Bronson released his latest project the other day, a collaboration with The Alchemist titled Rare Chandeliers, and he broke the album down track-by-track with Complex. And one of the tracks is titled “Dennis Haskins.” And Complex ran his description of the song with the above picture. And this was his description:
“That’s Mr. F-cking Belding [from Saved By The Bell] if you don’t know who Dennis Haskins is. And he’s a friend of a friend of mine. And my man had put him on to my music, and he loved it. And my man was like, ‘Mr. Belding wants to come through so I can introduce you.’ So he came through to my show in L.A., we linked, and that was that. Needless to say, he’s not Mr. Belding to me anymore, he’s [my boy now]. It’s a ridiculous situation.
He’s the homie, [which is why I named the record after him]. He’s a creep. He was [at the show] trying to find some young bitches. The thing is, [I had him come out and introduce me to the crowd at the show], and not everybody at the show knew who he was. He’s [known by] the older generation, not the younger generation. It definitely [went over a couple people’s heads].”
A ridiculous situation indeed.

Oh goody I get to feel older still because in the parlance of my contemporaries the word “creep” doesn’t have a single positive connotation. A creep is a bad dude, a guy “on the creep” is someone looking to roofie some booty. I think Dennis Haskin’s flavor of roofie isn’t pharmaceutical but rather his ever-vanishing relationship with fame.
So I thought upstanding citizen Action Bronson might be trying to warn bitches that Haskins was on the creep. Why I thought a fat white rapper with skills and an Amish beard would be looking out for the lovelies is beyond me.
yea man I thought the same thing
He should have sampled the audio of Mr. Belding saying “Hey Hey Hey! What is going on here?” It would have made a dope chorus.
Heh, Mr. Belding is trying to find his own Kelly Kapowski.
No one even watches reruns? That’s a sobering thought.
They are celebrating the successful robbery of James Harden’s beard
Also he raps about his son “When he was four he got his dick sucked by a prostitute” Good parenting dude lol
Why are half the clauses in those quotes added by the editor?
You can make someone say anything with that shit.
“I have a [monkey sex] dream” – MLK
Whoa – to be clear I did not mean for that to have racial connotations.
It doesn’t…but why do you say that it did?
Was wondering the same thing. A few of them I just assumed they were replacing n-bombs with more friendly words, but then there were entire sentences filled in in brackets that I can’t imagine being said differently. Very strange.
Heartening to know the young bitches have such a fine choice of gentlemen.
That banner photo is one of the most fascinating things I’ve seen in a while.
Needless to say I will be posing with a gun and an empty pizza box in ALL photos from now on. And Dennis Haskins if he’s not too busy hyping one of Action’s shows, obviously.
I will attest to this story. working a music video with him we ate at applebees and he would hit on all the young girl who barley knew his shows. He was all about some applebee
Isn’t that also Batista in the background? Dude from Man With the Iron Hands?
Regardless, Bronson is the troof.
Yup, Action Bronson, Mr. Belding and former pro-wrestler Batista. The young bitches must have been dripping.
