So i’m driving home from work with my dad today, and I was listening to Devo Brown on Flow 93.5 in the car. As I flipped to the channel, they were playing Mary J’s new single “Just Fine” from her upcoming album, Growing Pains. The record is hot..The Dream worked on that record and he also did another 8 records on that album as well. Anyways, MJ was followed by Anaya Hayes’ “Want it”. After that song, I was SOOOOOO surprised to hear this record that my girl Karley (YES, the birthday girl) put me on about 3 weeks ago. Well the record is called Calabria by Enur ft. Natasja. Flow had a remix version of it ft. MIMS! (I’m not so sure I liked the remix) BUT THIS TRACK IS SOOO HOT!! Karley also put me on to this HOMEMADE video of the record..and I gotta say it’s the FUNNIEST thing ever. Dude that plays superman cracks me up!! Enjoy!!

So Karley, one of my “ex” roomates from university, which also happens to be one of my very good friends of course, decided to celebrate her b-day in Niagara Falls this past weekend. Myself, Niki and Mel drove up together to make sure we shared in this special celebration. It turned out to be great and I really enjoyed myself. It was well worth the wait in line, and the 15 bucks cover (Yea I know, I was partying with the regular folks
…better know you’re special Karley) and of course the drive up!! The club we went to is called Dragonfly, and it’s really not all that bad. Except for the one bartender that was really rude to Niki..TSK TSK TSK!
Great times with my girls. I was a lil’ tipsy by the end of the night, but you I actually really enjoyed myself!! Happy birthday Karley!!

I read this interview tonight with Scarface on www.allhiphop.com and I really liked it. I think it’s one of the reaslest interviews with an artist in a long time. A lot of people try to sell themselves on an interview, and sometimes you can tell they ust full of shit. Scarface seems real cool…I could only post a brief excerpt, as I think you chould click the link below and go to the website to read the full interview!!
Enjoy

http://allhiphop.com/blogs/features/archive/2007/11/21/18904384.aspx
“AllHipHop.com: You’ve long been able to maintain your lane without pandering to radio or the clubs, how have you pulled that off?
Scarface: That’s Face, that’s my life man. That’s how I was raised. I always tell people, if I give you a bag and I tell you there’s a million dollars in quarters in this bag, you can take that motherf*ckin’ bag with you. Cause you know that it’s a million dollars, in that bag, in quarters. That’s just way I am. If I tell you I’ma do something, I’ma do it. It may not be today, it may not be tomorrow, but it’s gonna get done. I make the records that I feel. If I did a f*cking song with a catchy f*cking hook and I wasn’t talking about sh*t, how could I face my kids?
AllHipHop.com: Or your fans too.
Scarface: Fans is one thing but them kids is heartless man. Them the most brutal, kids, when it comes to making records. I got an 18 year old son in college, I got a 20 year old daughter in college. Dude, if my sh*t ain’t up to par man, they be like, “Man dad it’s a-ight, but I don’t know bruh.” Now my nine year old, he’s brutal and my five year old, he’s brutal. You be playing your sh*t and they be like, “Man, I don’t know who that is dad but you need to cut that sh*t off. We want to hear some Soulja Boy!”
I coach a Little League football team. The kids ask me what do I think about his record, the Soulja Boy kid. My kids love the record. Now me on the other hand…I love that record man! [laughing] I don’t know what the f*ck he said man, but you one hundred with me pal! Good for him. That’s a huge f*cking kiddie record. I never knock a hustle. I like what he do for the kids when that come on.
We need records like that so when Dr. Dre drops a record, you appreciate it. When Kanye drops a record, you appreciate it. I appreciated Kanye’s record man. Cause it let me know that there’s still some heart in it. My honest opinion man is music [is] looking real dumb right now. Let’s go back to the early 1920’s. Let’s even go back further than that. Those records were so timeless. I’ma give a rundown of my music. If you think about the records and how innovative these musicians were. Imagine how innovative Son House was, how innovative Robert Johnson was. How innovative Blind Willie McTell was; he played a 12 string guitar, and he made it sound like a piano, and he was blind. Start picking these records up. They mean something. And then you go to the 60s records, the Chuck Berry records, the Little Richard records. Go to the 70s and then you look at Brass Construction and how innovative those records were and the Parliament records and the Bootsy records and the Prince records.
Think of how innovative these Black artists were to music, and what they gave to music and what these people mimicked, okay? Innovators, of music. And then you get off into the 80s. You got Cameo and look at The Time and just f*ckin’…beautiful records man. Then you think of “The Message.” Then you think of Kurtis Blow, wow. Then you think of Run-DMC, then you think of LL, then you think of what the Beastie Boys did for Hip-Hop, the Joeski Loves and f*ckin Kwame’s and, Kane, Marley! Kris, ya know, Boogie Down Productions Kris. Uh, Ludacris [chuckling]. Look at what Eric B and Rakim did for Hip-Hop. Then you gotta stop and say god damn dog, when did we stop evolving? When did man turn into a machine? We have made some of the best f*ckin’ records known to mankind. And right now we stuck at a standstill. Even R&B. It’s the same f*ckin’ melody over and over. Come on dude. Let’s turn this sh*t back into some innovative sh*t again.
I always wanted [laughing] to be like Jimi Hendrix, when I was a little boy. Who do you want to be like?
AllHipHop.com Who do you see lasting from today’s crop of artists?
Scarface: You know who I really like man, I like that Talib Kweli cat man, he’s f*cking bananas. I like the sh*t that Lil Wayne is doing. I like Jeezy. I like all these little ni**as man. These ni**as got some great sh*t.
Twenty years, umm, we’ll see. I remember the Master P era. I remember when Master P had 30 records spinning at one time. I remember the Def Jam era. Remember when every record you heard was Def Jam sh*t? Like damn, is these motherf*ckers going to ever fall off? You just gotta think about it man. What records have you heard in the past 10 years that’s going to last another 10 years. Ten years ago was ‘97, the “Smile” record is still playing. Tupac’s Don Killuminati came out in ‘96.
AllHipHop.com: OutKast dropped ATLiens in ‘96
Scarface: Outkast will be forever, okay. Those kids are exempt. They can go in a studio and put on a record and package it, and I’ma get it. They can just put they ass on a mic and fart, and I’ma buy that b*tch. Man, these motherf*ckers just farted on a record and sold like 10 million. What?! “Man, check the fart out.” [lauging] You know whatever they come with is going to be so far out there and so innovative to what music is. Hip-Hop is just one kid to music, music is the mother of all that sh*t.
OutKast is forever. Makavelli is forever. Biggie is going to be forever. Hey man, that big old heavy motherf*cker was a rhyming son of a b*tch man. He was cold man, he was cold blooded. “Escargot, my cargo, 160, record by a new one…” His sh*t was freestyle cuz! Look at [Ice] Cube. Cube got a song called “When Will They Shoot”. I think it’s from The Predator. You got to hear this sh*t man.
I remember Tupac playing the Don Killumanati record in the studio and that ni**a got mad as f*ck at me. I was doing The Untouchable album and I was trying to get my singles out the way. Pac was like, “Man, you sitting in the studio all the f*cking time, just get your sh*t out the way man. Just write your sh*t and let’s go! This bullsh*t, just make some records man, just do that sh*t!” [yelling] That’s what he said. From there I just make f*cking record man, you pick it.
You talk about a f*cking mule, a f*cking horse? That f*cking Tupac Shakur, that was a working motherf*cker. Tupac worked from the time he got out of jail to the time he died. He got so many records right now that people ain’t heard. Man, I got some old Tupac sh*t that he laid. This kid worked his @ss off. That’s another thing I wanna tell these little ni**as, keep working bruh. Don’t do like I did. I took off. I was tired of this sh*t. I started coaching Little League football, playing poker, started learning how to play golf. F*cking bored man. If you put your heart and soul into what you do, don’t nobody appreciate you but your fans.
Hip-Hop, that sh*t went off the street to into one of the biggest f*cking businesses man. I give that to anybody that’s out here getting legal money, be real careful because you have people that want you down. You have people that want to see you on your ass. You have people that want to be on your ass because you escaped the plan. And the plan was to keep ni**as in the field.
I look at Michael Vick situation, it just makes me think man, these motherf*ckers hate ni**as so much man they’ll pull some sh*t out the closet about him doing some dog fighting. God damn it, come on man. I got an 18 year old son that’s in college, that plays football. And he doesn’t have time to do sh*t, okay?! Even in the summertime, he’s always working out. And when he’s done working out, he’s too f*cking tired to do anything else. And my son play college football. Think of a dude that’s in the pros man. All this f*cking sh*t he gotta memorize; the playbook, his workout regimen, his eating and all that, you have to know this. And the man gonna have time enough to fight some dogs? F*ck outta here man. What he did is probably gave one of his partners some money to buy some dogs and start a dog breeding business and them ni**as took it to another level and started squabbling them motherf*ckers, and turned on him. That sh*t ain’t cool man. Ya know luckily he can get out of that sh*t. He can do 18 months. He’ll go to a little pre-release program or some sh*t, they’ll let him go.
But T.I. on the other hand. Have you seen the federal sentencing guideline book?
AllHipHop: No, but that mandatory sentencing is…
Scarface: Ni**a…sheeit. I got a partner that was in federal prison for 18 years. He know the book by heart. He told me where to look in this book. It’s called the Federal Sentencing Guidelines Book, it’s a book for lawyers and sh*t. One of them books. Dude, do you know that a silencer is a mandatory minimum [of] 30 years? Do you know that an automatic weapon, mandatory minimum, fully automatic, is 30 years. Imagine two silencers and two fully automatic weapons? And that’s not counting the guns that was in the car, or the guns that was in the house and him being a convicted felon. For every gun they find you add, like a level or two, I think. That sh*t is life. All because…motherf*cker couldn’t hold it, told on him. Oh man, “He told me to do this.” He told you to jump off that skyrise right there too didn’t he? Did you jump? Hell no! Motherf*ckers know the difference between sh*t and tar, don’t let nobody fool you man. They set this kid up man. Damn Tip! F*ck! They set him up man. They set that dude up man. He ain’t going to get nothing but a f*cking conspiracy. He going to get a conspiracy case. They’ll probably give him 8 to 10 years, damn!
AllHipHop.com: You’re all too familiar with that, Rap-a-Lot and the Feds.
Scarface: You feel me? They tried to put me in that sh*t. The same sh*t they did to T.I. Get a motherf*ckin’ snitch to come in and infiltrate and start talking about dope. Ahh, this ni**a here like weed, start talking about weed. Nah, man! You not going to get a motherf*cking word out me. Read it. It’s on the Internet. Indicted, never. You can’t. You couldn’t indict me for a motherf*cking thing.
AllHipHop.com: Do you think that the Feds are targeting rappers? Or brothers in general?
Scarface: I mean, ni**as is in trouble man. I can’t even begin to tell you how serious this is man, with the ni**as and feds. Know this, as long as they fishing, they ain’t got sh*t. [But] the minute they do, you got a 2% chance of getting out. They have a 98% conviction rate. As long as they ain’t got sh*it—they keep turning over stones, they keep shaking trees. But the minute them motherf*ckers have it, you’re assed [out].
Just remember man, they can say whatever the f*ck they want to say about you man, just don’t let it be so. That’s something to live by. That’s something to grow up and grow old on. Man, they can say whatever the f*ck they want to say about you, just don’t let it be so. “

I haven’t posted in a couple of days and I am sorry…I’m going to do all these posts all at once, so please forgive me. Let’s do videos first.
Just came across the Wyclef Jean new video “Sweetest girl (Dollar bill)” featuring Akon, Lil Wayne and Raekwan off his “Memoirs of an Immigrant” album set for release on December 4th. This is Wyclef’s 6th album and it features guests such as Mary J. Blige, Paul Simon, Chamillionaire, Shakira, T.I., T-Pain, will.i.am and Serj Tankian of System of a Down. The album is co-executive produced by T.I.
Birdman’s new video “100 million” ft. Lil Wayne, Dre, Young Jeezy and Rick Ross (prod. by Cool & Dre)also came out this weekend. Birdman’s album 5 * Stunna is dated to be released on December 11th. This is the second release off the album with “Poppin’ Bottles” as the first one. Birdman’s new album expands on his own blazing repertoire, featuring a star-studded array of collaborators, including the multi-talented Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross and Cash Money newcomer Brisco. Producers featured on the album include Cool & Dre, Scott Storch & Swizz Beatz, among others. Recently, Birdman took home the People’s Champ(Viewer’s Choice) Award with Cash Money signature star Lil Wayne for their smash “Stuntin’ Like My Daddy” at the 2nd Annual BET Hip-Hop Awards, which was the anthem from the duo’s epic 2006 pairing, the platinum-plus Like Father Like Son.

It is now Wednesday morning at like 3.44 am and I have work in about 4 hours, but I have to finish transcribing this interview. Had to work on some of Remo’s press for a minute, so I’m now back on the grizzly to get these interviews all wrapped up. To keep myself going I decided to search some Katt Williams on Youtube and crack myself up a little. I thought I had seen it all, but I guess I had skipped one at some point in time and just came accross it now. I think he’s live in Cincinnati, but I’m not 100%. I just pressed play like 5 times and am still cracking up. Thought I would share. I think he’s one of the funniest guys around and should DEFINITELY consider coming to Toronto for a show!!
oh this one is pretty great too!
And Don’t forget, Katt Williams is on Dipset, so I guess we should be looking forward to an album then sometime soon? Who knows..

SAIGON QUITS???
So today, New York rapper SAIGON aka THE YARD FATHER calls it QUITS?!?!?
Earlier today, Saigon posted a blog on his myspace page(www.myspace.com/saigonthayardfather) where he claimed to be quitting rap music! Could this all be true? There are speculations from fans that this COULD just be a publicity stunt…I guess we shall wait and see. I posted the video for C’mon baby earlier last week and I can’t express how much I really like that song. I really hope this is not for real because he has an exceptional fan base and it would be sad to see him go.
Here’s the quoted blog..
“I QUIT……..
You see I got into rap a very very long time ago, I didnt do it to become rich, I didnt do it to become famous, I did it because it was a way for me to vent about the bad things that were happening around me, It was therapy for me so to speak…..Ive realized now that sooo many people have gotten into Hip Hop, whether the business aspect or otherwise, its not really for me anymore…First of all, people need to know that I am a contraversial person period, before I ever was in a magazine, on T.V. in a studio, I was very very deep in the street shit..Contraversy has always followed me, Its unfortunate but it is what it is…Its my life…I dont try to start shit to cause contraversy, its the media, the press and yall who eat off contraversy who start the shit, try to make me look wild or out of control when Im just being who I am. Everybody is like, ‘OMG how is gonna show up to a radio station drunk’, hahaha, Im a rebel, I done showed up to court drunk facing 15 years and yall talking about a radio show.. This is the bullshit, hahaha its funny how people listen to all these rappers talk about all these guns they bust and being in the trap and hustling, and everybody loves the music and celebrates it, the second he gets caught up in some of the shit he was rapping about, everybody is talking about how stupid he is and all this shit.. …I cant take turning on a computer and seeing my name being thrown around in all kinds of ways, Its not good for me, and not good for these writers, I am accident prone for life, I will take a page out of the Wu Tang book and beat the shit outta one of yall niggaz man, youre playing with fire.. Should I post my rap sheet on the internet to remind yall , Im not a fucking studio thug man, … I never signed up for this so Im stepping away from this fake shit…..I did a interview on Shade45, the interview was 2 hours long mind you, we talked about EVERYTHING from what we need to do as a people to get on track to economizing and everything but you know whats on all the so called media outlets in boldface as the headline, ‘Saigon Disses Whoever’…You know what part of a 2 hr interview people replay? Me saying something about someone…If I woulda said, Ill slap John Hardy Hawkins for his role in the Slave trade, they would never put it in boldface or re run it 1000 times, but If I say Ill slap a rapper or something, Its the headline news of the day….Thats ass backwards to me so Im done. I dont like not being able to speak my mind without some fucking clown being able to make a story out of it because Im a “rapper” and “rappers” shouldnt say those things….hahahah I didnt sign up for this..No more interviews, no more mixtapes, no nothing….Im not a rapper anymore, Im done.. Im back to being regular me…This shit is too fake for me, I found myself getting caught up in the bullshit but now Ill gladly walk away…These people are so predictable that to prove to my niggas who would say my buzz was dying or whatever, I would say ‘oh yeah’, watch this, then for fun, I would just do an interview and make a comment about someone because I knew they would run back like little bitches who instigate something to get the people talking. Then walah, my buzz is back, (nevermind the 10 great new songs i wouldve just put out)..But its not fun anymore…I look at the Prodigy incident, that started not because of anything but these media outlets…He told me to suck his dick in an INTERVIEW..Then it becomes physical, we both coulda got shot, stabbed or even killed…Had I been with my crew somebody wouldve died in there all over something that started in an INTERVIEW. You got this other guy throwing my name around on T.V. now thats going to get physical, Then watch, the same people who instigated it will be talking about how senseless we are..I dont give a fuck if nobody ever does a story on me again..I dont rap anymore, I dont need it anymore… I no longer have to keep pretending to be a certain way to care about a radio spin, or an interview, so I can address these people when I see them like I BEEEEN wanting to, and thats unbiased. NO MORE ASS KISSING FOR ME. All of that trying to be politically correct bullshit is just that, bullshit..There is no honor amongst theives…Now I can say what the fuck I want, when I want, however the fuck I want without people feeling like they have the right to ridicule me, judge me and talk slick about me because I have this title “Rapper” attached to my name, or because Im a “Rapper” who supposed to know how to talk to these media people who really dont give 2 fucks about hip hop or black culture period. How many of these outlets are owned by black people anyway? I know alot of people dont give a fuck about me stepping away, some people might but so what, its a wrap…Some people will say I was wack, I never had punchlines or funny metaphores , but that wasnt my thing anyway….I left enough great music behind for people to understand I was good at rapping, thats all I ever wanted out of it, But now Im back on my bullshit…I have no KIDS, I have nothing to lose..My reason for ever taking it to this level in the first place was to use the music to to try to get black people out of the stages of deaf, dumb and blindness and that was a fight I probably couldve never won anyway…I wouldve given my life trying to save my people and died in vein like alot of people did.. Oh, and to that rapper thats throwing my name around, U must be retarted or like hospital food or something, we have BEEF homie, not rap beef, beef beef I have no more to say about that, its a small world, Ill see him…Fuck this bum ass rap game anyway, its full of fake ass niggaz who pump poison to the kids, make a few dollars and act like theyre larger then life when they know their music is detrimental to their fucking communities, If it aint about sex, its about drugs or violence, where are the songs about getting an eduacation, or being responsible parents and shit, or stopping the Gang Violence…This shit is sickening………..SAIGON IS DEAD…Should I say Ill slap a rapper so they run and put it in all their news section and gossip columns..Okay Ill slap the shit outta EVERY Rapper hows that….I QUIT, Now I have time to focus on my non profit organazation, In Arms Reach/Abandoned Nation, Please if you get the chance, check out Inarmsreach.org and lend your support to the work we do for the children in NYC whose parent(s) are incarcerated, Thank You now I gotta figure out how Im gonna break this to Just Blaze……THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD….hahahahahahaha PROPHECY”
