Check out the Premier Episode of The Bake Up Show with Mikey Mo The MC and Jim Rubin..

I'd like to meet:

Cool laid back folks who just like to kick it and have a good time. Looking to network with musicians, MC's and people in bands that are creative and people who think positive about their goals and future. People who can help me expand to my full potential and vice versa...

Music:



Everything from the Doors to MF Doom, Living Legends, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Rolling Stones, 2Pac, Bob Dylan, Biggie, the Grouch, Murs, Muse10, DJ Daeta, DJ Deuce Ace, Jimi Handtrix Crew, Mikey Mo the MC, IV Real, FROSTBITE SOLDIAS, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Forensic Science, WUTANG muthafucka!!!!!, Blind Melon, 3sixty5 Records, music&strength, Shuxwun, Abyss, Sublime, Traffic, Guns N' Fucking Roses, Allman Brothers, Mac Dre (RIP), Dap D., Andre Nickatina, Equipto, Too $hort, Madlib, The Big Homie, Bigg H, Lune, Ghostface, Raekwon the Chef, Delinquent Monastery, Animal Planet (Passwurdz and Apes), Bo-Rat, DusaCaddyTracks, J-Dilla (RIP), The Attik, Hieroglyphics, Bay Area Rap, LA Rap, Deep Rooted, A. Kruse, Pro-Verbs, Himself, Rhymeysayers, OOWEE (the Organic Original), Gangstarr, Robin Trower, Sean P., Albert King, George Thorogood, STP, and the list goes on and on and on. Very ecclectic mixture here. If it's good to my ears then its GOOD to me! I'm open to listening to anything new and exciting. Music is able to break down barriers that we as people put up to block each other from being successful and many other things too. If there were no music what would I do?

Movies:

The Doors, Big Trouble in Little China, KIDS, TOmbstone, Natural Born Killers, Clerks, anything strange with a good plot that will catch my attention.

Television:

anything on Music channels MTV VH1 Sundance IFC stuff like that

Books:
