I love reading and writing...and going to the casino to lose all my loot...lol...nah...I'm just trippin', after a dollar at the slot machine, it's a wrap. I also love joking around and laughin' with my best girlfriend, Red Dawn (myspace.com/reddawnpromotions) & just funny people in general. I love a good debate, too--with the right person...I can go all night
I KNOW ANDRE AIN'T WORKIN' RIGHT NOW...LOL...BUT, DAYUM THIS DUDE IS GORGEOUS, 2...YUP, EVERYONE THAT KNOWS ME KNOWS HOW I FEEL ABOUT ANDRE...SO WHAT IF HE IS UNEMPLOYED...LOL (J/K)
Who I'm going to (not like to, as I was brought up to believe that u can meet anyone u want 2 & be anything u want 2) meet: OPRAH WINFREY, RUSSELL SIMMONS, CATHY HUGHES OF RADIO ONE & all of the other people who have 'paid the cost to be the boss!' Oh, I also would love to meet MIKE EPPS...that dude is comical! I've met & spoke with a lot of rappers in my lifetime, but I can't forget LL COOL J ( the ONLY rapper that I can't wait to meet)...Tupac was the other, but I was fortunate enough to meet him, but I've been a HUGE fan of LL's since I was 9, and while I'm not phased by celebrities...I think that'll be the only one to get a reaction out of me.
--Not a big fan of Kelly's but this song really grew on me and the words are SO true...just makes you wanna drop all losers in ur life...
_____________________________________BOBBY V IS THE CUTEST SINGER IN THE GAME...NOW THIS IS HANDSOME (I KNOW, WHO STILL SAYS HANDSOME...LOL)...I MAY BE HAVIN' A SUPERFICIAL MOMENT, BUT I HAVE A THING FOR 'PRETTY BOYS...'LOL...& I NEED 2 C MORE EYE CANDY ON THIS JOINT!
Well, I have to start over on the music section...but I will say that I am into lyrics...I was a lyricist NOT just a rapper, so if you're an ill-lyricist, then I'm supportin' u...
Big L (My favorite emcee of all time...JUST an UNBELIEVABLE talent, whose life was cut too short...R.I.P)
AZ (One of the most overlooked rappers of our time...this dude is classic...This dude is one of the best ever in my book...his verse on 'Life's A B*tch' proved that--definitely in MY top 3 of all time--I don't care if he never sells a record, he has ALWAYS been consistent)
Common--have to show my hometown dude some love...kid has always been innovative and sic wit it...he and Mos Def are truly some of the illest cats that ever blessed the game, too (yet so, underrated)...Will mention Kanye for his earlier work when no one knew who he was but me, and I would always ask about him...he was real dope b4 the stardom
Skillz (One of the sickest puchliners I've ever heard)
Nas (ILLMATIC, the most classic Hip-Hop album ever made! Nas is a lyrical genuis when he takes it back to the streets--that's how you save Hip-Hop)
BIG PUN(How can you not mention this dude as one of the greatest--he broke down a lot of barriers...HE was the most DIVERSE rapper in the game, and could eat 'em up in English and Spanish--R.I.P)
Rakim (What is there to say about Rakim, but if it was not for him, there would be none of the others that I mentioned)
M.O.P. (These cats are raw as hell...they always get my amped up when I’m driving)
2Pac (Man, he was 2Pac...he was such a visionary and revolutionary...while still keepin’ it street...Oh, and he had the prettiest teeth I’ve ever seen in my life, and I got to tell him...lol)
I've been a fan of 3-6 for their beats, long before the Oscar--they were the first 'big' act that graced our cover, back in '03.
Lil Wayne has come up a long way, too...he's movin’ up the ranks...;
I'm feelin' Tabi Boney right now, too...just a different cat...

Not much of a fan of television, because of its distortion tactics--the same as all media pretty much (I know that is strange to hear, me being an editor and all, but that is why I try to make sure that messages are imparted in all that I do, even with Grind Mode),but I will admit that I love Jeopardy (yeah, I know that show is for old heads, but growing up my grandmoms made me watch it everyday, so I get used to it and started loving it). My favorite show is...KING OF QUEENS! I love King of Queens...If I'm out, I'll rush to the spot just to catch it. Jerry Stiller is HILARIOUS, yo! That dude reminds me so much of Alf (remember Alf from the late 80s?), and everything that comes out of his mouth is funny.While I think South Park is a horrible show, I will say the one episode when they went on Maury is something that I can watch over and over again...when the kids are like: 'Whateva, Whateva, I do what I wont (want)!'
I READ BOOKS THAT EMPOWER...I DON'T READ LOVE NOVELS OUR ANYTHING LIKE THAT...ONLY BOOKS THAT CAN EMPOWER AND EDUCATE ME...ALTHOUGH, I SAY, SUPPORT GOOD AUTHORS, PERIOD. I ENCOURAGE READING, & GETTING PEOPLE TO THINK BEYOND THE BOX THAT WE'RE OFTEN PLACED IN.
MY MOMS & GRANDMOTHER ARE MY HEROES 1ST AND FOREMOST...MY MOM'S HAD ME AT A YOUNG AGE, YET, SHE ALWAYS MADE SURE THAT I WAS TAKEN CARE OF & THAT I WAS AFFORDED ANY OPPORTUNITY PRESENTED...YES, I'M A MOMMY'S GIRL...LOVE U, MOMMY!
