this should be fun.

ny.

the week after the prince bball ep of chapelle came on.
p invited dave to his post rock n roll hall of fame after jawn.
since i was working on the show dave let me tag with him and neal.
they were so amped that prince invited em i didn't have the heart to tell em
the 1984 cat they idolize will not be in attendance.
so while in the elevator to his hotel i tried to give em the 30 second
crash course.

once i mentioned p being a JW ---the laughter lasted for like 14 seconds...
which was a time waster cause i didn't wanna say nothing once we went in the hallway
(p usually got security in the hall and i didnt want it to look like i was talking shit)
so i was like "dog dont cuss, dont ask to drink nothing, its gonna be real tense
and uptight, we should just say hi and leave.....oh and another thing (the door opens---mind you my back is turned cause im trying to talk as fast as i can so we dont look uncomfortable)....

"and what is that ahmir?"

---there was no hallway..

(the door opened right in p's living room and i was none the wiser)

---i turned around and almost jumped out my skin.

a room with about 10 jw's in a circle quietly waiting for me to answer P's question.

*dave saves the day

"he told us that you will NOT make us pancakes!!!"

*silence

5....secs.....

then laughter......



wheeeeew

prince is a JW for real?

wow

the jehoviss witness doctrine, what was Charles Russell talkin about, etc.

JW?

she caught me out there at the naacp 2003.


the only cat i wanna meet and have validate me is quincy jones.

so standing backstage at the naacps--
i was talking to jill marie (who hosted the awards with the cast of girlfriends) and i saw q say goodbye to ray charles (who actually died like 4 months later so this could have been the last time he saw him)---

i told jill..."hang on one sec"

and i saw my chance....

i was nervous. i mean im cool with his kids....but i know he dont know im alive.

or worse...cares...

so i sheepishly approached


left foot....right foot....

(passes tyra who is talking to kimora lee---they waiting for limo)

walks up and gets the nerve to barely get out

"ummm...man...you are my hero sir" (tyra heard me say this)

quincy: oh my god....the FUNKIEST CAT ALIVE.....

---yo!! i lost my shit!!! how this motherfucker know im alive and that my shit is funky!!!!!!!!!!!!

he held his hand out....smiled and walked to me...

so i walked with my hand out....

he got closer....


i was smiling....

and then....


he hugged dre3000.....

and left me hanging.





tyra and kim saw ALL of this and i tried to play this off....

we laughed SO hard cause they knew i was embarrassed.

we remember that to this day.

the roots come to va to get two joints from the tunes.


we actually work on the beat that is beyonce's "green light".

chad is next door working on what will soon be "ride around shinnin'" with the clipse.

i tell rell

"i want a jawn with some crazy jeru noise shit like THAT shit" (the song has an open piano swirl)---

so chad hears the shit we working on and then he gets an idea...


grabs his horn....

and he does the same 4 horn squeals that tribe did on the "can i kick it" remix....

perfectly!

he invited me to the room while riq wrote to the beat--played me new nerd and clipse and kenna shit.

i wound up drumming on 3 joints.

he was amazed i did them shits for free.

Also, I knew Chad had to have done some uncredited shit on Hell Hath No Fury.

Some of that shit was too good to be just Pharrell.

the production on HHNF was too nice for it not to be a true Neptunes production.

will those joints ever see the light o' day?

the first roundabout music reference that I actually got.

YEST *pumps fist like napoleon*

common's retrospect for life.

she had this intricate video planned where me, pete, pos, dave, jeru, riq, and 10 others rap cats....were in this one cut video.

i mean she was giving direction like directors do on tv and shit

"look down ahmir....look serious........be more expressive"


shit directors NEVER say!!!



man.....


i swear 9 hours....of doing this video she directs.


and then....


we watch the ruff cut.


NOBODY IS IN IT!

:: ::

i couldn't even picture posdnous in a serious acting role

lol

it's possible she didn't tell them because no one wants to say 'i cut your part because you're wack'
___

http://newgoldenera.com - good music for good people

http://liberatorscomic.com - cops get shot. random hip-hop references. fun for the whole family.

or were you just glad to be done with it?

maybe they wanted her to make herself feel important lol

Perhaps you weren't expressive enough.

we were going over "cant knock the hustle" for radio city.

and i wanted to do something clever for the ending by finding various chromatic minors for her to sing over.

mid way into it...


i realize....this *could"* throw her off....

but cause she in the "jay" school of mavericks....

its too late now....

i offer "well lets just do a traditional vegas ending.......normal...."

she was insulted on some "oh you think im one of these "cant sing bitches?"

no imma get it right.....watch...


---now mind you....its lunchtime....


she said "go over the ending"

she struggled.....


"again"


struggled

"again"


"again".......


12 times......


18 times.......

(band looking at me like "you and your dumb ideas....NOW we gotta learn this shit")


we did that shit 24 times....


then she got the hang of it.

like "WHAT!!!!"

>then she got the hang of it.

>like "WHAT!!!!"

that sounds a lot bitchier than I intended, I love Beyonce.

it was jazzy in way.

the story of sometimes


thanksgiving.
we decided due to deadline and the only time i got off from touring that we will do his song that night.

we come up with nothing.

3 hours go by.

carmen comes on tv and we start clowning com who SWORE he was gonna come up in ghostwriting that jawn and star in it and maybe romance you know who.

but doctor you know who wound up staring in that film and wound up courting (if for a while) you know who from that flick.

so we was clowning him on the phone.


and then we did the ultimate.....


i started playing "umi says"

james started playing "bills bills bills"

and bilal started singing about how mos stole com's fire, role and girl.

--then we was onto something 7 minutes in.




i told engineer run the 2 inch tape.


and then song is as is you hear it on tape.

he fixed about 4 lines....but he freestyled most of that shit.

I'm still trying to figure out what Bilal song resulted from this.

..cus like anybody, when I first heard dat jawn, ...Mos' "Umi Says" is the first thing I think of when you come in wit da drums
on that ish. Good read.

Its funny how things come together sometimes(no pun-O)

and its the first real confirmation that you know who and you know who really did hook up for a minute.

i always thought it was a...you know...rumor.

i've courted many a woman that went nowhere

My brother ran into then down in Miami once pool side. He knows Mos so they spoke for a min and he got the introduction to her. They were on some semi hugged up ish.

I'm officially impressed.

are u fuckin forreal!!!

these stories r 2 much, i took a lunchbreak from work about to write this song

then my boy calls and tells me about this post, this ish is crazy

"Black Thought came to Chicago and needed a ride home from a wack club. So I offered him a ride. While he was in my car he wouldn't say much to me, so I started playing him my music.

Yeah, I did something like that, but it was better though.
All I could think was...
















At least I'm better than my drummer!!"

shook his hand backstage at naacp.
thanked him for "girlfriends"

www.myspace.com/djjedi1

at the showbox i asked him to do "posse" and i asked for the meaning of swass.
he told me my drums is "cold". (or i was the coldest drummer?)

he had to cut out early so no "Posse"

what IS the meaning of swass?

n/m

remember the "double trouble" story from TFA?
talib and mos?---actually scratch that....peep the homegrown story.
mos was being mos---late
and somehow talib (unknown to me back then im sorry lol) managed to spit a verse on this song without my knowledge.

so the cats cussed me out cause instead of "messing around with dange'NO i shoulda been in the C room telling kweli he can't be on the song."

dangeNO was not D.

dangeNO was that light skinned chick im always up under in the A room of battery studios.

i had met rapheal s's longtime engineer Gerry during the "what they do" sessions. we got mad cool. so about a year later i saw some xmas lights in a box with some very specific decor that i remembered but couldn't quite place.

so i asked the receptionist "who is in A?" she said the name and i laughed cause damn that sounded like a pretentious ass name.---but i saw the session sheet and it hit me!


those are the same xmas lights that gerry used in his bay area studio!!!!!!!

sure enough there was his name.


so i walked in

"gerry!!!"

"ahmir!!!!"

*daps and pounds....*

we talked and talked and talked.....


and then....

(simpsons harp)

she walked in.


(auuuuuuuuuuuwww----the sim....p....sonsssss.........*harp*)


"hey ahmir....met alish....

lish....ahmir..."


i won't get into specifics.....but i pretty much neglected the things fall apart album for about 2 weeks cause i was always in her room. picking her brain.....talking about music....and our new favorite discovery of 98: KRISPY KREAMES!

meanwhile....

the mix was horrid.

kweli had managed to spit a verse.

i didn't care if mos showed up or not.

i had neglected the highlight of TFA over a chick.

this lasted for about 3 weeks and i just KNEW i was in.....

then.....she mentioned a boyfriend.

3 hour calls turned into "i'll call you back"....

until the fadeout.



i guess now i can also say that she was artist number one in the homegrown vol 2 track 4 story.

we saw each other at Fela 2 weeks back.

it just hit me that we actually were great pals at one point.

guess im the bad guy in this story huh?

WTF ???? SMH, and all those other internet acronyms ... I would have loved to be in that position ?uesto ...

always in pictures w/ lee lee but, in reality, not doing a damn thing

met her at studio when pharrell let me drop by when he was working on RNG.

i JUST missed him doing the graffiti can noise of "drop".

she was sitting on the couch.

im wild.

i do NOT like al's delivery on "im wild".

i like calm al.

not screaming raspy al.----although i will make an exception for the title track cause it was day one and was off the top and we were on the edge of our seats with the end (put ya.......SHHHHoes!!" hahah)

but he had gotten comfortable with this new voice and i didn't like it.


but telling him that is a whole nother thing.

we all have to have meetings like "who gonna be the bad guy?"

so we let rich be the bad guy.


but al had his own agenda and decided DAMNIT AL GONE DO WHAT AL GONE DO....THIS IS MY VOICE!

sure enough a simple request brought up old demons (he is scared of cee lo and "crazy" and is mad that we would even ask him to sing such a song)--so its quite clear he just wants to be contrary.

so we say "session done" start packing.

al dont like that.....he wants us to squirm and crawl but you cant out reverse psych us......we invented that shit.

so now he really mad....


"uh huh....see....see!!!! if yall motherfuckas put them god damn um um......computers away.....and and and concentrate on the job at hand and do YOUR JOB....and stop worrying about MY JOB you would see that all would fit into uh uh uh uh place!!!!---cause there is only one al green!!!! you go head and sing the part since you think its so easy!!!!"

your right al.

im wrong.....and sorry...


(gets madder!!)

"well next time leave them damn computers alone!!! we dont need that there naw anyhow!!!!!!!!!!"


--cool al.....


"@#$%@#$#$!#$$#$%##@%#@$%$$#!@$%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

multiply this by 3 years and that was the lay it down sessions.

and for what it's worth, i think lay it down
is a great album.

john and i are like two stepbrothers trying to outdo each other.

like mark and john in that scene from boogie nights when they first meet

we were one upping each other on trivia

computers

celeb stories.

and then he killed me....

"i just dumped my gf this morn"

then he showed me a photo.

JLH.

damn....this cat has options like THAT?

(smh)

I heard he rides for the other team... I was kinda blown by that.

there is an okay related artist that proudly don't ride for barack and i aint talking lupe either.
very very very shocked about this.

C'mon, tell me who they are so I can stop supporting them. If you don't feel cool putting them on complete blast in this post, you can just inbox me. :-)

Nah, not Kweli, don't you remember his pro-Barack post up in here.

whoever it is

ESPECIALLY after I heard the snippet of "One Is The Magic #" on the new comp that Hidden Beach is putting out for Barack.

First I thought, "E Pluribus Unum? Is Jill okay with this shit? Why didn't she just contribute a new song?"

Then I thought, "Damn, this seems like some REAL 'we're doing this shit whether you like it or not because we need to sell this comp and we invested in you so deal with it lady' type shit..."

Sometimes, silence is SO much louder than actually speaking...

my biggest regret is never meeting the WU at their peak.
i met them all AFTER the gold rush.

i actually got meth into the mtv awards giftroom fall of 2006. if you can imagine such a....well scenario...lol "that is method man!!!!!"

i was embarrassed cause its like "how did this nobody get in and now he has to bargin with the guard about letting dr tical in".

once in he went on and on and on and on and on and on about jay.

my position is this is the industry and not jay.

Red slept in the mtv breakroom during the last year of Yo MTV Raps with us snoring loud with a plastic spoon in his mouth. riq has great red stories to tell.

why Red and Tariq never did a track together then.

we did a track on GT with Red.

eh....red's shit was lackluster.
put it away.

for Game Theory too huh?
that's already in my top 3 Roots records.
oh well, if it wasn't as good as it should've been then I guess it's better to leave it off.

Not just because it's hard to believe, but because I've never heard this shit AND it's hard to believe. But Red don't really fit in y'all's envelope (IMO) so I can't imagine it would have....aw, fuck it, I'm crying a little.

>Red slept in the mtv breakroom during the last year of Yo MTV

At least it's not as bad as being on the front of Source magazine cover with tissue up your nose.

"dawg....owwll that sheeeit came gushing out"

"manye this hea wasn't no tv birth.....this was the real shit...literally..."

*me about to url

"man i saw the baby's head and then she just....

oh god nevermind man im too squimish---

"naw man....i mean you don't think about that when you giving birth....all that disgusting stuff....it was worth it man. that was the most beautiful thing to ever happen to me....shit and all...."

I hope someone feels that way about me and my (future) child one day

damn, 3000...shit and all?

Good stuff, yo. Had me rolling.

Well *I* Laughed.

sat in front of her at the naacp the year we won our award (the bono tribute year)

we were laughing cause the cast of the game was clowning Cos on the low for this long ass "wrap it up b" story that was going nowhere

Web would stalk me for DAAAAAAAYs wanting me to hear his beat tape after sixer games. i would even avoid some games just to avoid it altogether.

Were his beats THAT bad? Gotta give him credit though, he is persistent, but annoying as well, I imagine.

lange did about 5 shows at the HOBs this year.
i went to the one she did with Lyfe.
we were in her dressing room with her moms
(btw......the photo on her iphone cover is moms at 27)





COT DAMNY!!!!! (c) tracey morgan.


anyways...



pop knowles comes in the room and doesn't seem to notice i was standing in the corner so he SLAMS (accidently) the door open---

shit hits my nose HAWD....

she screamed (tina) "you are hurting him!! someone is behind there...."

i played it off like i wasn't hurt.

i was...

but i didn't want lange nor her mom to think i was a punk.

played it off....til i got home and was like "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!"

matt mighta just hauled on you.. lol

to tell you the truth.....

the funniest gutbusting moments tween him and i occur on AIM or phone texting.--

i dunno...

he is painfully normal....he is just a mega icon. none of my in person stories are amazing.....they more like....


?: *at rehearsals eating oreos.....
j: dag man....you went to the store and didn't offer to share oreos?
?: *gives that lamont you big dummy look* (we do this ALL the time)---hands bag over---
j: ahhhhhhhhh.... (like the victory fist pump radio raheem did after he won the sound battle of the box on do the right thing)

---the texted shit can damn near be a comedy book especially after my disapproval of the chick saying "oh....my....god.....hov" on kingdom comes first cut.

but all of our exchanges from dec 2001 to now are some funny shits if read aloud.---

the best being the "super ugly" exchange the night he recorded it.

im glad to hear that Jay is like that in real life though

aim will suffice

How you gonna tease everybody like that?

*RIP: John T. "220v" Richardson, Blessing Benson, and Dilla*

spike was cool enough to lemme sit next to him in 2001 for the knicks vs kings game (white jesus was on fire that day even though kings lost) we then went to his upper west side crib (COTDAMMMMMMY) to watch the super bowl. all the cast of characters in his films came by (like all the italian cats from jungle fever's soda shop).....man...i ate so friggin much i caught the itis. but i was too embarrassed to let anyone see food put me in a coma. so spike let me sleep in his writing room which has this awesome big ass catchers mit couch. his pop culture collection is CRAZY, scripts from other films and artifacts from his films. he let me nap til 1am....lol

dont think i could sleep in there, so you didnt had the urge to check things out in there.....?

Fest was quick wit it.

,

Shit will take like 17 minutes each to compose.

sat next to him AND mojer on a flight.
and geeked the fuck out.
they were so impressed with my view askew knowledge...
they gave me a private screening of clerks 2 the next day.

You PM OKP Ryan M to come to the screening. Ryan calls his girlfriend from work to check his inbox just in case. She tells me there's nothing in there from ?uestlove. I come home 2 hours later to see an invite from 15. Ooops.

Said you were cool.

only in passing.

he gave me dap for blessing his then album that was coming out (riq and beans spit a verse on it)

i was real cool with his sis that rash introduced me to. she and i went to 2 games and i got to sit on celebrity row. was fun.

:: ::

ben thinks im shady.
the real magic behind the superjam of 2005 with harper, john paul and me was that we literally rehearsed 3 hours before hitting.
i didn't call him back during the months i should've.

i would like to add he had the advantage for it was his crew and his gear and his people and essentially his producer (jpj) at hand.

so i was the odd guy out.

so thinking it was a "jam" in the spirit of a "jam" that was like the one i did at bonneroo the year before with pino and herbie. i brought some cats: namely kirk.

but of course this was not a jam made to appease me. I was invited and kirk was mos def a problemo.

i pitched a mini fit and kirk was allowed to do the encore.

but i felt some sort of way cause its like ben's guy was on the soundboard (a FIRST for me) and ben controlled the songbook (a first for me) and all my ideas were shutdown.

and since we were doing zep, i now had the pressure of being john bonham.

so it was high pressure. but i pulled through and the shit wound up being the best shit ever.

top 10 career moment.

ben on the songbook.. lol.

times have changed.

the first time i kicked it with him was in 96. then in 97 (2x). again at bumpershoot in seattle in... 99? again in 01. then he came back to montana in 05 and met my daughter (who had slept on his stage in 96 when she was not quite 2).

96-05 a whole lotta shit done changed. lol.

i cant say i was mad tho.

it was a "top 10 career moment"-experience.

I've personally experienced this at least four or five times, folks swear cause they lived in new york during the 70s/80s they were at the founding of hip hop.

I imagine dude getting on his Bleek Gilliam on... like, "It incenses me that our own people don't realise our own heritage... our own culture... our music!"

especially because of the sample on TFA

"If you play the shit that they like, then the people will come!"

if yall think yall caught the wrath of dixpop...

i can't even begin to describe the near murder committed on her lil chichi poo poo in a louis v bag dog he almost committed when she let him run loose in our dressingroom (yall remember she was a Root in 2001 right? AREA 1 tour she interned a summer with us)---

i think what made him madder (the dog only shitted on his stuff) was she really didn't express remorse....cause she saw that dog (i think she named him harlem?) was like her baby so it was like ("awww baby had a boo boo"--do cartman's moms voice) instead of understanding niggas aint with dogs shitting in their new balances.

i really thought rich was gonna beat the SHIT out that dog.

i'll say that the two people that i will feel for the most if barack loses will be kal penn (harold and kumar fame) and jurn.

those two campaign so hard for him i would be none surprised if they both ran for office in 2024.

she singlehandedly started my real career in the world of politics.
i made some comment on how i want to live up to my rep and really do more politically based things but had no clue on how to start.

she laughed.
told me to pick her up at 4.


......am


(?!?!?!?!?!)

we been going at it for rack for the last 8 months. both together and separate. initially i wanted to do laymen work: make calls, get sandwiches, pass flyers, register people.---not the celeb tv/radio shit....

well all that changed 3 weeks ago. she told me i was speaking in the inner city to the youth about registering (she has that rudy "buuuud" shit going on where she TELLS you what you are going to do and like a dummy you be on some "how high?!" shit.---

i mean she dont know philly dont fuck with us, nor the hood, or kids.....she was like "these are your points *cracks whip* STUDY! *cracks whip* we getting up at 9 dont be online all night cause we got troops to recruit!


"YES SIR!"

much like her character on GDs jurn that whole day would be on some MLK/X jesse shit:


grabbing the mic and screaming like a preacher:

ladies and gentlemen we ARE in a state of emergency (sista soljahs voice)
our brothers and sisters are falling by the wayside!!!!
(preach sista)
these republicans dont care about you!!!!!!
*well!*
dont care about me!!!
*well well!!!*
dont care about yo momma!!!!
*yes sista!!!*
this is THE MOST crucial time ladies and gentlemen!!!!!!!!!
(twinny twin twiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!!!)

--after that 10 minutes fired up speech then she be like "AND NOW A FEW WORDS FROM THE BROTHER, MR QUESTLOVE OF PHILADELPHIA'S ROOTS CREW!!!!! GIVE IT UP!!

<-guess who's back in town...

she and kal came to detroit in september. She was amazing at all the events.

Kal was the awesome dude he always is.

+)

i forgot!!!

my best jurn story was

AFTER campaigning in cali at venice.

we drove to orange county to catch No Country For Old Men (only theater in town playing it)

after the flick we went to Borders to get some books and stuff.

i got a call from my manager and it looked like it was going to be a lengthy convo....

so i pulled over and took the call cause i didn't wanna get pulled over for talking on the phone while driving.

wasn't no rap. we talked about the grammy jam and i said i'd hit him up when i got to room.

well...two secs later flashing lights.

these fuckers drew their guns and told both she and i to get out the car.---jurn tried to turn her hidden video camera on but wasn't quick enough....


so here we are....

sprawled out on out car hood like cuba gooding in boyz in the hood i was like "oh my god.....we are dead.....or better yet I AM DEAD cause if her oldest bro catches wind of this HE is gonna kill me.

they put us both in the back of the paddy wagon while they searched my car left and right.

we are actually laughing at the irony of this situation.

then....our wrost nightmare.

they tried to open the trunk:

?: jurn.....what is the likely hood that the cops are going to believe that all those psychology books and the scrabble game is ours?

j: good question, its not like they believe that blacks like a mini coop.

?: god, for my sake i pray they dont go in that trunk....or we are DEAD.


---they tried for 5 mns and gave up.

let us go afterwards. tried to explain that i pulled over at a mini coop dealership so naturally they thought i stole it.

that whole ride was silent on the way back.


THAT is when i decided to do something about it and campaign for barack.

clear language.

from like august i think

http://www.ihmdj.com/thepolaroidproject/polaroids/432.jpg

pac and suge came by the house of blues to the 4/1/96 show the roots/fugees/goodie mob did.

that night was surreal

the fugees record kept skipping much to my delight cause i wanted the entire audience to know that we didn't need to play on top of a record to sound banging.--

all their records skipped in front of a celeb packed audience. this was the night the soulquarians were born. i met both d and erykah the same day.

it wasn't beef......just rivalry on some band to band shit.

best believe that night i was sangin

"let's get craaaaaaazay.....lets gett nuuuuuuuuuuuuuts hahahahahahaaaa" (you must know the movie purple rain to get this reference)

anyways....

that night. warren betty came with flowers in tow to convince lauryn to take the role halle berry took in that political film of his (forget the title)

well....i went in the foundation room with kamal and some jawns was rapping to us when suddenly

*silence*

pac and suge walked in like this was an old western.---remember how that piano player shut his piano when rae dawn chong hit oprah's character in the face on color purple?--man it felt like that.

we saw suge whisper something to deon sanders and whatever it was, neon deon's whole demeanor was like *whimpers* he left INSTANTLY .

kamal was like "yo....you see how he bitched out deon?,,,,,,yo imma say whussup!"

i told him NO!!!! he was like "pssh fuck dat....pac is my nigga!"

i watched kamal go over to say hi through the reflection of a knife as a rear view (you know how they use mirrors in jail?) "he held his arm out and then........they gave him love back! whew!.....---

that whole weekend there was drama cause the bad boy/death row shit was about to be in full swing.

i followed mal and got love too. pac said he fucked with riq hard and said he wanted to work with us....i held him to that and in august i asked for a quote for illadelph halflife and he was more than happy to provide it.

as stated in that method man post i have not met any wu members at their peak. i forgot gza was my labelmate.

this story actually starts with mars co-op (clones)

this mofo meets odb on south street and chills with em.

anywho, im on the way home from a party and on some "no country for old men" shit i come into a pitch dark crib and then *clicks light*

SOME NIGGA ASLEEP IN MY CORNER CHAIR

me "auguuguhg!!!!"
him "auugughghgugh!!!"

who are you?!

"true born..."

the hell you doing in my house?!?!?!!

"mars dropped me off"

how did he let you in my crib?!?!

"he let me in the crib"

BUT HOW!?!?!?!?!

"he let me in...."

you know that funk that is so bad it actually smells good? my living room smelled like chocolate brownies.

he told me the story at how odb lost him and he's trapped in philly and he needs at least tomorrow to get a chinatown bus back to staten island.

he looked like a wu nigga and ALL NIGHT he was on some "yo son im getting my deal im in a bidding war with either epic or a&m....."

*yawn*

this was a classic hanger on story and a PRIME reason why you NEVER hear about me and my crew. only crew you EVER see me with are cats who have a REASON for being there. i SWEAR i HATE hanger on cats cause of THIS scenario.

a hanger on dude (mars is STILL holding on to clones) giving another hanger on dude MY place to crash (never told me how he got in the crib) and now i gotta listen to a bunch of shit talking and lies and name dropping for the next 24 hours.

he needs my phone for his manager

(an artist with no cell?)

he needs a lift to bustation

(an artist and no car service account?)

he needs to go to western union for money

(an artist with no credit card)

he needs to borrow money cause his manager cant western union him the money)

--trya get rid of dude now...

fuck it....ill take this 40 buck lost.

3 days later....

I have a similar story with same nigga who called himself True Born, said he was from Queens I believe and his sister was married to GZA or something to that effect. I got connected to dude after hanging with my cousin Curt aka Curt Flirt of Dr. Dre and Ed Lover fame. This cat had me on the wildest of wild goose chases from Queens to Brooklyn one day. Talking about how he could get the Wu to perform at this club I was promoting. I swear this has GOT to be the same dude. this was summer of 95.

I'm sorry, yo.

>That's my brother. No shit.

>I'm sorry, yo.

...about meeting you. It's quite POSSIBLE GZA didn't know him because he wasn't GZA's man. True Born was more so RZA's peoples.

Now the story he told us, unless you threw us a dummy name with True Born, about meeting you was eerily similar to this one. This God named Born Master Allah and Big Benif (C-Know of Digable knows them both) used to have little shows and shit up there and we were all fans of ya'll shit (The God in DC and shit).

Anyway...I'll kite you a photo in an inbox. Tell me if it was him.

all of my interactions with him are always the same:

jam session.
he spits.
turns around to stop me from drumming so the audience can hear him.
and there is never a "ooooooooooooooooooh!!" moment.

--cept the time he came to wetlands and debuted the ll dis.

>he spits.
>turns around to stop me from drumming so the audience can hear

pff, he would.

think i first met him at denzel's version of julius caesar play back in 2004.
but we did 2 dj gigs together for baileys.

A story that contains Rosario is never a bad thing.


(For the listener.)

rosario came to philly to attend my 30th bday celebration.

me, james, vick du and i decided to do dinner at this local southern cuisine spot called Bluezette.

this spot got a lil shine when oprah gave them the "best mac n cheese" award on her show (she has 3 other spots called Deliahs"

so naturally the owner dee saunters up and starts jockin Ro.
and then she looks at me in that Jackee' sorta "euuuh" way.
she's looking at my afro pick.

she decides to go there.

"um mmm...hmmm i dunno....about....that"

--we look confused

she then awkwardly passive aggressively hints:

"uh.....the gentlemen here...don't wear...that"

EXCUSE ME?

"you should remove that thing out of your head"

i walked out of there. never to return.

weeks later the chef saw me in the streets and apologized and told me "she was sorry and didn't know who you were and begged you to come back"

im like dog...that woman had the nerve to come up and embarrass me in front of my date and just think that shit is cool?!?!?"

i waited 8 months to trash delilahs by taking a blind taste food test in the city paper and TRASHING her spot.

i wanted more Rosario...maybe i just got my hopes up too much.

both chris and i were amped to see chapelle perform at real world kevin powell's fund raiser for him running for congress.

then it just hit me...

this is DAVE we talking about.

something didn't feel right.

i saw the flyer (chris was ranking about what politician uses nightclub flyers?) and VIPs pay 2000 bucks to take a flick?

hmmmm

*gets on phone*

"yo man! when you coming to kev's shit?"......kev!.......kevin powell!......the real world!....the first angry black guy on the real world!!!......no not the first black guy to get kicked off.....i mean....YEAH THAT GUY!!!!! (think the voice of back to the future's "MARVIN BERRY?").....a benefit.....no a benefit!!!!!!!! (im at a table with bev bond, her husband---(name is escaping me but he was on chapelle's "ask a gay dude" when he ask "what is up with the rainbow!!!!!?!?!?"---the "make me your nelly" cat, jurn, chris, his wife and 11 cats from Oz and The Wire---so they all laughing and one by one they are itching to go.)....dude he is running for congress........no seriosuly he is runn----dave....are yo----WHERE ARE YOU?!---on a tred mill?.....ohio?!?! maaaaaaaaaaaaaan.

(to the table)

i suggest we sneak out of here ONE by ONE cause if they (points to a room where 3000 black people have been patiently waiting for about 2 hours in a room made for about 900) get wind they just gave up 500 bucks for nothing they are going to riot.

i told chris he needs to go first cause you know they are going to ask him to fill in....

well kev's watchdogs were right on point and sensed the way we were all conspiring football huddle style (and they way rocks wife had that "psssh" look on her face) that we knew the truth so they were rushing to get kev to beg us to stay and get some of us to perform/speak.

chris was like "fuck that"

richard pryor can perform at cosby's event.

but cosby cannot perform at pryor's event.

pfunk can be the switch act at an earth wind and fire show...

but not the other way around.....

sure enough powell comes walking over

chris got deer in headlights look

i was on some "lets go crazy "yer on yer own" shit...grabbed my jacket, grabbed jurn, grabbed my cell and snuck out the kitchen to the alley and sure enough....right next door
bell biv devoe was singing "Dope" in a club lol (later i found out it was Cassidys bday party (dj to the stars)---but escaping that shit was like some mission impossible shit. chris told me that night he just said "no" and left.

How come his album never leaked?

One.

but dude was running for congress. why not rock it for a few minutes, that dude could have lost a lot of votes that night. we need kevin powells in congress (someone has to check the fcc so the next roots can have a shot).

cause its putting us on the spot and the audience was ansty as it was. they paid 10000000000000s for dave. the lord coulda went on that stage and got the apollo boo.

>the lord coulda went on that stage and got the apollo boo.

Im kind of mad how because someone is young+black+hip, automatically they are assumed to have our best interests at heart.

this is a great fuckin story

only in passing at dreamgirls preview.

the best wonder story ive ever heard was jill getting mad at wonder doing the "ray charles" test on her....

mine is more or less like the stuff dreams are made of.

could be narcissistic but magic nevertheless. (i say that cause it aint like it would ever be seen as cool that i play my music for you the second i see you for 2 hours.....then again lol...his catalogue sons the worlds entire shit so lol....)

1994 dc.

IAAAM convention.

we playing tribute to grandmaster flash and take 6 is doing stevie.

well we killed shit cause noone ever heard of us or the idea of us and rahzel was like something from out the sky so to see stevie sit up and do his trademark head bop clap was like ---man....so early in my career? amazing!

so we were invited to his suite.

so cool

natalie cole and andre fisher (then president on mca and former rufus drummer and her producer and husband of the "unforgettable" album) talked to me for like 3 hours....and our music background was stevie and a bevy of women singers at his side singing ALL shit shit i mean EVERYTHING

love having you around
rockit love
he's mistra know it all
ribbon in the sky


he went from 12:30 til 3am and that is only because the suite next door called security

this story had me rollin' the most out of all thus far ...

him telling me with a straight face that he just got engaged.....to heather hunter. (he's had about 9 porn star gfs btw)

http://sayitwitme.blogspot.com/
www.myspace.com/spathegod

prolly what he woulda said

jurn and i spent 13 hours going HARD on primary day for california

4am til about 5.

we still had 2 hours to kill.

i saw a big cardboard sign on the obama headquarter floor. you know those signs the cat wears to let people know there is a new Subway or Taco Bell in the cut?

basically this:

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1167990&id=652642050

so sure enough for two hours in venice (this was the night connected to the jurnee part 2 story way above in this post) i stood on the corner megaphone in hand

"ladies and gentle honk for obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! only 2 hours left to vote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please honk......."

it was quite a site for this to go on for 2 hours....and i looked a mess cause i been up since 4am.

then this girl on a bicycle rolled up to park her bike. she starred at me like some crazed fan for about 2 minutes and then....she stepped closer and for the first time i looked at her and she said.......

".....okay this is freaking me out...."

for a sec i thought it was ashley olsen.

then i looked and i remembered! this is fionna's crib!!!!!!

"ahmir? why are you campaigning in front of my house?"

lol...i explained my role and she actually held signs with me for about 5 mins then went inside.

sandwich board

we have been begging the heads of geffen to see this group they poured millions into. we felt if they could at least SEE the band then they could have a better understanding about us.
so of course the first show they see becomes the most niggerfied show of our career.

mobb deep used the walls to spray paint the cover of their album for promotion.

and of course dirty started with a cameo and ended with

"how we treat them hoes? fuck em in the butt"

they REALLY ignored us after this...to the point we transferred to mca.

ewww hilarious

and i remember the pic in the source.

+)

niggerisms at it's finest.

the legendary sigs:

that story is TOO LONG

hmmm...

its a tie between shawn kicking me out the studio before johnny gill arrived...

or them giving me the hollywood "have our people call....." when they rejected singing background on a cut from do you want more.

or the "well give me YOUR number" when i asked for label advice.

i got 3 cold brush offs tween 1993-1996

and now i got the last laugh.

lol

+)

half the time in interviews he seems fresh as fuck, and other times he seems cocky as fuck.

i remember ?uest saying that JT wanted him to be on justified

he is a humble cat. and not overly overdone on some overcompensatory wigger shit.
first met him and brit backstage at radio city for the D show. then i saw him again a few times after at events.

he invited me to the philly justified show which i thought was weird.....and then i found out why.

he wanted me to leave the roots for 2 months and drum for him for the euro tour.

i declined but i managed to stick around both shows (the stadium show and the after "serious" show with cussing and no kids)--cameron diaz got that college white chick booty dance down to the bone.

>he wanted me to leave the roots for 2 months and drum for him
>for the euro tour.

first night we were introduced a friend's father was rushed to the hospital so we exchanged info and corresponded via email. but man...she got a bright ass future ahead of her. she is MOS DEFFFFIIIINNNNNAATTELY coming to the picnic next year

i was a little bit salty that after personally campaigning for her to you and s. gee (sent the booking contact and the contract), i didn't even know that y'all booked her for that pre-show.

i see you checking on that sam sparro too.

Dude always seemed a lot cooler than he has any right to be.

i met dave while rushing to buy a dress shirt for the dangleo show i was about to do in VA...while there i accidently walked in on a bit. and they decided to take it further.---he was boycotting the emmys who if you remember critics dissed his hosting duties and said was the unfunniest emmy program. so his middle finger was if he won he would he would bring us up there to accept.

thing is...i know they brought me in for the freakish factor. but only dave bothered to ask me what do i do in real life....so when i told him he was shocked like "wait you are an established artist?" even funnier was the reference "so if this like us picking up george clintons bass player thinking we got a random freaky guy and we messed around and got an icon?"---i was flattered and said "lets hope you still feel that way when its time for my album to come out"


sure enough....

ive been on his show for every album since then. BASED on that day.

nothing but red carpet city from that guy. imma miss doing that show.

huh? you stopping or he stopping?

and what does this have to do with phelps

...the letterman show is canceled too? prolly not...

...maybe they can't appear on a competitor network's late night show?

looking at her walls brought out inspiration.

we wrote "dat skat"

after a bad night with prince i vowed never again to meet my idols.
so even though i was invited several times to meet him in rotterdam
i declined for i knew i would be instantly disappointed.
i apply this to mj too....even though i "kinda" was in the same room.

>after a bad night with prince i vowed never again to meet my
>idols.

wayne said riq was "an incredible nigga" and he wants to get on a roots album.
we exchanged numbers.
this was 2 weeks ago.

? dont fuck this up..lol

ill pass.

em wanted some drum loops and paid a nice fee for my services.
i copped 10 copies of BE and gave him one.
he was quiet.
actually
em kept us waiting for 3 hours so actually to kill time i created what
would be "Atonement".

since he has the best equipment money could buy his engineers introduced me to the ribbon royer mics.

the only other significant event was right after i left i threw up like 4 lbs of guuk. i played that night in the D despite freezing my ass off. and at the insistence of the group. a doctor came to see me and diagnosed me with the chicken pox.

i took 5 days off.

fucked around and gave it to 4 maids in the hotel i was in.

i got banned from that hotel for a year.

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa3/GreedySmurf_2007/1ec8506183c1946.jpg

my ex and i used to throw game night and a host of our friends would come by and play. i think for labor day it rained so we brought the que inside. and i introduced paul barman to michel. thought it was casual.

2 weeks later they made a friggin ALBUM!!!!

(gondry drums.....and paul is paul)

shit is dope!

n/m

I taught Michel how to play Uno!

I'ma tell my grandkids about that day!

this is one of my personal favorites.

due to the onslaught and subsequent fallout of hip hop in 96 and it bleeding to the death of pac and big in 97 and confusion of 98 and so on...there were alot of conflicted feelings.

even i got caught in some beef.

but i was smart enough to stay out of trouble.

well....one night i got a message.

first of all it was a note....it read

"ahmir....heavy d is going to send you a car to take you to babyface's studio be ready at midnight"

RE: production on babyface's album......


now re read that again.


im backstage after rocking a show.

this tall dude gives me a note and its from heavy d....i cat i NEVER met before....
coordinating sessions for babyface?

---and not even 10 mins later 3 black dudes come for me like "we are ready"

grey caddy

now NORMALLY im the big guy in the car so they offer me the front seat.

not this time....

i sat in the back

IN THE MIDDLE....

man this shit smelled like revenge...

the fuck does babyface want production from me for?!?!?!?!!?

and why is heav-----PUFFFFFFFFFFFFFY!!!!!!!!!!!!


puff is setting me up!!!!!!!

last time he corned me he was tryna punk me!!!!!!!!!

oh shit!!!!

heavy is setting me up cause of Com's "eyes all puffed" line.....this is like phife's "new jack swing" line and tip caught a beatdown!!!

*we pulled in the gate---
its dark....
no lights.
im with 3 strangers...
i do NOT feel this scenario...

these 3 black dudes

walk me in a building.
lights are off.
we walk slow....

i really thought i was about to die.

for reals.

we walk into a room.....

and it IS heavy!!!!

whew.

he tells me face had to make a family run but call him on the phone and we can discuss the matter at hand.

i was so relieved that i wasn't getting whacked i dont even remember the convo.

he did play me a demo of "there she goes" that he did with the tunes.

but for real...i thought i was getting wizzzzzzacked.

I'm still processing the fact that you got in a strange car, with strangers, based off of notes. In THAT era.

Nope.

i just had no clue that heavy d was a "producer" and at that i was still under the impression that face did all his own shit.


its like why does a hitmaker go to the cat with 0 record for work?

i mean since when did he care about great filler?

so i was noid on that alone.

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa3/GreedySmurf_2007/1ec8506183c1946.jpg

jermaine dupri asked me drum on his benefit album with Bono and "some friends".

they told me to be ontime and at battery studios 10am.

they didn't tell me that i would be the only male in a room full of:

beyonce
kelly
michelle
brittany
mya
janis and
nona gaye.

4 hours.

beyonce was very polite and not at all "hollywood" as i expected. we been cool ever since.
same for kelly and michelle. britt kicked us out the room when she did her vocals (meanwhile yonce won all my respect with her "ready for my closeup" one take stroke.)---mya came in late and sat on the couch next to me. she offered me her passes to see michael jackson at the garden that night.

unfortunately i had rehearsals that night for a levis jam session event in which i had to prep songs with meshell, ndea, and some other people.

you best believe i wasted 0 time in talking to nona and her mom. jan said yonce reminded her of marvin in the studio with how effortless his harmony attempts were. i went the extra mile in asking about stories about her father. we got real real cool.

i did my part and thanked everyone.

i ran to SIR to start rehearsals for the Levis jam.

that lasted for 5 hours. we ended at 9pm and went to the soho grand.

friggin levi's people never confirmed our late arrival. so they gave our rooms to incubus.

and to make up for it:

3 people went to the bryant park hotel (@@@@1/2)
4 went to the howard johnsons (@@@)
3 in the sheraton (@@@1/2)
the rest at a holiday inn.

we was piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissed.

that was our room. how could those fucks be that stupid.

thank god those fucks were stupid.

it saved our lives....

next day was sept 11th 2001.

can someone tell me the proximity of the Soho Grand to the towers

we woulda been running for our lives smothered in dust if we'da stayed there

there if i remember right.

My boy was a door dude there. He said shit was nuts....of course.
The dust did reach there but not that much..

but the WTC is almost a full mile from the Soho Grand. You would have been ok. Nervous, yes. But safe.

Just saying.

thats an interesting story on many levels...

will provided me with two of the most amzingest stories of my career.

y2k at the white house.

and

the last january week of 06 in his crib.

my boy says you can judge the level of success someone has in hollywood by the amount of seconds it takes you to get from the gate of the entry to the actual house.

while doing 20mph it took 35 seconds.

imma just do the point system.

drove through the jurassic park gates
passed 3 city blocks. with 15 brownstone per block.
--yes a REAL neighborhood.
was told they fly family out there for reunions and stuff. makes it easier.
so even to live in his BROWNSTONE is a life achievement...let alone HIS crib
he has a stadium in which he does sunday Bball games with his boys/crew
(yes a real stadium with referees and a scoreboard bleachers, lockerooms and concession stands)
you step in the house and you notice the floor is MADE OF BUTTER LEATHER
the whole time im asking him "are we allowed to...step on this?"
his housekeeper gives you orange juice only to realize its 3 days old. and it MUST BE FRESH SQUEEZED.

you joke (what you got a grove and workers in the backyard?) only for jada to open the door to reveal a grove and workers in the back yard.

the spice rack and its fungshui'd color coordination is so impressive and big you yourself say this is a life goal for you wanna reach....

not have this spice rack.

just live here.

in this room

IN THE SPICE RACK!

but that aint it!


see the thing about other hollywood mansions are people come with this mentality sorta like chris rock explained: you always got one bag packed like you know you gonna be thrown out anyday now ---or you have this idea that you "might" go broke.

but not will smith.


he says he waited 7 years to make his dream spot. and even then he regrets the largeness of it cause how in the world can his kids be grounded growing up in literally the best built house in california?

i mean it is.

i asked him how do other cribs rate....like i know white people dont like or are as concerned as "shinning" as we are. so thus whereas maybe a megamillionare like steve jobs or even bill gates might have a nice sound system in his house....he aint gonna have the swagger to ball all out and make a nightclub built by the top university for deaf students in which the speakers/woofers vibrate on the floor....thus FORCING YOU to dance....so based on the black celeb ballin factor---ball players dont really got "taste" and just get tacky shit (i can verify this), and aint no black actor in the top bracket to really go all out and ball. and jada actually has taste so will only gives props to his only inspiration in the world of balling ass cribs: eddie murphy.

naturally i asked "what about MJ?"

will laughed and said mike cheats: "anyone can build disneyland....i mean if i was a big kid and wanted a house full of every videogame and trinket then perhaps.....but as far as build and structure (EVERYTHING is hand made so it feels like bedrock) Will wins.

his movie theater? this SHIZZZZNIT
he even has a "ghetto kitchen" built like the set of good times (they have 80% of their meals in there....and once you sit in there for about 20 mins you really do think you are in a "regular" spot.

his studio is nicer than most

his gym is nicer than most

his art collection

his lagoon/pool

all that shit sons anything beyond your wildest dreams....but this was the kicker that had me on some martin lawrence-seeing-eddies-bubble hill crib for the first time (mar started turning into a girl saying "ummm eddie can't you play more of your music? whuuuusup whuuusup whusssup with you?") was:

will: hey check this out (*grabs remote....presses a button....*then talks all normal like he aint about to change your life in less than 40 secs) yeah im really glad you like this house...alot of this art was handcrafted in africa when (35 seconds) i shot ali......even ali himself did this piece right here....

?: wow he is an artist (20 secs) too?

will: actually he was doodling on the table place napkins and i (15 secs) told him im taking this home to hang up....jada's mom has a balcony overlooking the living room on some queen of the castle shit...and over here.....ahmir?.....james?.....ahm (5...4...3....)

?: james?.............(*still standing in the SAME spot where the living room USED TO BE*).....james.....will.....um.......where did the walls just disappear to?.....and why are we suddenly outside?....how in blue hell did the walls just vanish like that and now we are friggin outside?

BALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIN!!!!!!!

,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.
Crunch.

Nice!

Or any other joke for that matter...

got damn
shit i'm not materialistic like that
and nope those cribs shows get a meh from me
and i'm glad you mentioned the ball player type taste
hate that tackiness
puts his spot in perspective
and just wow
i don't even think my imagination carried me away
the reality must be crazy

<-guess who's back in town...

does Jeff have his own brownstone?

jeff is just fine.
will looked out.
but jeff is just fine on his own two legs.

Just wow.

I wonder why he never did MTV cribs.

>I wonder why he never did MTV cribs.


he doesn't want to put his place on blast like that. plus, by the description, a full length movie would have to be made in order to showcase his whole house properly

but the people wanna know... (well *I* wanna know)

shit can I win a vacation at his house then...

this shit has me deconstructing my dream house and leaving it by the road.

this may have been my fav so far.

wow

The only thing about that story that I would prolly get if I somehow ever caked out would be the grove and the brownstones (<<Excellent Idea Will).

What is popular is not always right, and what is right is not always popular.

>>he aint gonna have the swagger to ball all out and make a nightclub built by the top university for deaf students in which the speakers/woofers vibrate on the floor....thus FORCING YOU to dance.

The strange dream in my dream world...

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa3/GreedySmurf_2007/1ec8506183c1946.jpg

i had MAD chances to chill with devin but i NEVER recognize dude when he comes on the tourbus. so its ALWAYS after the fact!

"...you know that was devin right?"

DOH!!!!!

was him we were talking to. I didn't know either...lol Love his music but he was so chill and 'uncelebritylike'(Is that even a word?) that he seemed like a regular dude..

So I really believe that...


(Sneezes) Sorry, I am allergic to bullsh#t.

this nigga wades thru at LEAST 50 people on the way to his next gig that night....it takes until person 51 (a guy I was rolling with) to spot hi8m....ten seconds later, 51 people are crowded around this cat, all saying the exact same thing....

im NOT ashamed to say that fey is in my top 5 women PERIOD.

i LOVE THIS WOMAN.

so when she was in the room next door to us while we were shooting letterman i think i came on too strong and freaked her out.

i just thought

shes from philly
im from philly
shes ebonically linguistic
im ebonically linguistic
she's sexy
im sexy
shes human
im human
she has 10 fingers
i have 10 fingers

i mean the similarities are in the gazillions.

i was trying....anything for a connection....i mean i did small talk with susan surrandon just to pass the time on the red carpet and now we damn near family and i wasn't EVEN trying to make a connection.

i think she is freaked out about her newfound sex symbol status so....this guuluff of a man trying to conjure up ANYTHING philly (god roots fans do that and i be like "ok......so you are from philly....and.....")

i get the strange sense all of this will change in a sec (and i cant say much...but you can see this as the third clue in the phelps. letterman post connection)

haha.

Like maybe they're tired of Max leaving every few months with Springsteen, and want someone new when Conan takes over the Tonight show...

im guessing either conan or snl. but why wouldnt he be able to do letterman if he did snl so that about kills that. but yeah it has to be something nbc related.

Jimmy Fallon is going to get his own late night talk show on NBC soon.

>Jimmy Fallon is going to get his own late night talk show on
>NBC soon.

.

im flabbergasted. and i dont even know definitively why yet.

*leaps over .40 cal*

boop.

party in passing. nothing special

so...during a dinner break when i was playing the knowels sisters the tracey morgan and aries sears from g-unit radio (yes jay thought spears's "kinda had it down" but as we all know ll was the clear winner.

so if you remember there are GUNSHOTS seperated tween the sketches which made jay tell me "yo man....them weak ass gunshots on "here comes the pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" aint flying.

i want you to find me the g-unit gunshots.


me: (looks at just)
just blaze: (looks at me)
me: (looks at jay)
jay: (looks at me)
me: (looks at jay's production manager)
PM: shurgs.

yes. jay is normal. but he does got that rich guy *snaps fingers* and its done.

"i mean you want me to sample these guns?"
naw i want the guns from where THEY got it from...

"so how do you want me to do this?"

call em.

"call em? i dont know em know em"

"ahmir you can do it....just tell em you need the guns...just dont tell em its for me"

uh....dude how do i start? im not team fif....im team jay!

"haaa man we aint in comp....you are AHMIR the most loved appreciated dude in hip hop...what they gone look like saying no to a man of your respect?"

none of this gassing me up shit is working man but ill do it

(sure enough.....whoo kid was on the phone in 20 mins! and he gave me the source of his loudest gun shot.... TRAFFIC!)

of course this also means making magic happen and making a movie night of it (this can be a 2fer for the person who watched this flick with me for isolated gunshots --which is a task at 3am--was aurrora jolie (who spilled tea on my dj hard drive which subsequently means that i never called her back after this sin)---anywho...how does this connect to Ben?

well in saving my hardrive i had a jawn that both he and i are mutually cool with rush me around all of miami to find someone to save my hardrive---

of course i told her the entire story.

*fade to black.......enter yesterday*

im in the car of the "mutual jawn" and she tells me

"how strange is this....i had to tell ben that you stayed up all night looking from his gun samples for jay z. like he is more honored about that than he is winning an oscar.

now back to the part yall care about....

i didn't hit AJ

live updates and shit. Ha!

props. so she's gettin it in now?

and since Prince got one, let's treat MJ fairly!

1979!

mike paid a visit to the offices of his old digs philadelphia international records before doing a show at the spectrum with his brothers. my school was smack dap next door on broad street.

saw him leave the building.

there....i got to see Cool ass MJ at the age of 8 and my celebrity had nothing to do with it. i was just at the right place at the right time.

D's response was everything i said in my head before i read it

he covered all the bases too..

then again when i was 8 thriller was HOT (1983).

that's dope. i'd suggest not meeting him now, in fact i'd prefer not to at this point unless he needs someone to smack his ass into shape:

if you had to place ONE Thought verse over all of his others, in terms of wow factor/technique/"onetakeness"/etc, which would it be?

give us a top 5 list if one is too hard to narrow down

That is so thoughtful.

haha at my reply.

no personal stories for they have been industry events. but i can type as an observer on some vicarious shit.....


we stopped voodoo sessions early one so D could sing happy birthday (he wound up doing half hour worth of songs....she melted on "knocks me off my feet") plain and simple she was gonna give him the ass....

my man d.

i was like "why are we back in this studio?...you know and i know where you should be right now:....


he was like "dog i aint no one's puppet. she fucked with tupac for a month to get some cred and when she got what she wanted she was out....and aint letting no woman puppetize me for her gain.....sides....i aint trying to run the wrath of 2 million black women just cause that's famous pussy.....plus she aint got no ass...."

i want to name d'angelo just to hear more funny ass stories about him

bono is like the president.
i met him 4 times in post U2 activity
and i met him 2ce on some personal shit.
i wish he was obama's running mate.
no major funny stories. i can attest that he is sincere and ernest in real life as on tv.
i mean the 9-10-01 session of "what's goin on" he really didn't have to talk to me for 20 mins about why its important for us to fight together for causes. i mean for gods sake destiny's child and i came in the room at the same time....

yet he came to me first....i was like "dude im just the least famous person drumming on this project" but he made me feel the same like justin and brit who was in the room too.

never forgot that....and the other subsequent times we met he still remembered me.

and his assistant is like COT DAMNMMMMMMY!!!

i mean for gods sake
>destiny's child and i came in the room at the same time....

if it were me, i'd demand to be able to walk into any room at least 10 minutes before they do. at least then i'd get 10 minutes of attention...

I'm certain that, in his mind, that 20 minutes IS necessary. Think about all the folks that he doesn't really have to chat with like that, but still chooses to. Now say those people really feel what he's saying and it has a real effect on them, and it sticks. Now that person is gonna affect others' lives. And (hopefully) so on and so on.

Say 10 people give/receive love in a way that wouldn't have happened if the right person hadn't broken shit down to them the right way, or at least reinforced what was already there. That 20 minutes is a really cheap price!

You should read his interview book with Michka Assayas, and also U2 At The End Of The World by Bill Flanagan, which is an incredible inside look at the band's greatest era as it's actually happening.

.

we had 4 hours to clear "atonement"

i did the bat signal.

called jay.


clowned him "dog you are so red state coldplay....do you own one blue state radiohead?"

"naw...they make me wanna slit my wrists"

wait....and you love "politic"


"haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" (this is a jay mainstay.....matter of fact we got a team of about 10 of us who discuss the jay "haaaaaaa" syndrome:....why mofos from staff, to solange, to just blaze, etc all be comparing how many "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"'s follow the H like its source ratings

haa-he just appeasing you
haaaaa-must be enroute to something important
haaaaaaaaaaa- he's happy you agree with him
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!- that actually might have been funny
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!-that's his ROTF (i got this once i did a "you me and cousin dupree joke about the rumor of jd coming to def jam)

anywho...

he pulled the Hovsignal and sure enough while on the tredmill. i got a call from Thom Yorke and his manager.


now this is the difference tween letting lawyers broker deals and just letting artists do deals.

thom was floored we even knew he was alive or loved his shit. (since then nigel and thom have told me GT was their fav roots album.....meanwhile im like...."wait...you know about the other 9 lol?")

he was REALLY over the top when i informed him this album was an homage to his band.

Having Jay reach out to Thom on your behalf?? AND he's a fan?

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit! (c)Clay Davis

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! (c) Jay

>we had 4 hours to clear "atonement"

That's a great story though.

thanks

maybe the jurnee one too..

d

this is how i know JB is the shit.

we have NONE of the masters to reasonable doubt.

they are lost.


some of them shits were done mixtape style straight to dat (hello primo!)

well...there was NO master to "brooklyn's finest"

blaze said "imma get big's vocals accapella"

i said impossible.


this mofo put it in pro tools and singlehandedly squeezed all the music away---like taking an eraser and getting rid of EVERY element but bigs voice.


i know it aint no celeb scandal shit but .....if you are an engineer...you will be more impressed with this entry than you are the will smith story

That's impossible lol

Bet he had the acapella lying around and just fooled you or something

"Look Quest..." *smoothly unmutes the Brooklyn's Finest acapella while pretending to be working the EQ like crazy*

its a compression squeezing process.

clark kent never put this song on two inch.

but adat.

but ALL the music was steroized so they managed to "squeeze" it out.

we used it at the nokia rehearsal but jay did the vocal at radio city

>we used it at the nokia rehearsal but jay did the vocal at
>radio city

U mean like this?

<font size="6" color="rainbow" face="century gothic">gay</font>

i'm not an engineer, but i was more impressed!

damn!!! im'ma get pro tools now!

so he went to each individual wave??
what about the parts of the voic...

mann the more i think about it that really is crazy

now I know.

------------------------------------------

speechless...

did he kiss your ass after dissing you guys on the radio?

you know....the weird thing about nas---i mean it could be kelis who is a fan of ours....but nas JUST started his fandom for us.

i mean he was the prototype of just a first glance and conclusion of "them niggas corny" and go on about his day....

meanwhile if he had just took 30 mins out he'd realize we are his biggest champion.

actually alot of the class of 92 cats are just coming around. bitter? perhaps....im like "wow raekwon if you had just answered our phone call in 96 im certain you woulda tore this SHIT outta "no alibi" but nawww...you took a glance and dismissed us.

my phone rings OFF THE HOOK with the cats i wanted to validate me and let play reindeer games with back in the spring of my career.

while watching us soundcheck at radio city nas was kicking himself for being wrong about us for 10 years....when he heard us freak "verbal intercourse"---my god he was jaw dropped. DAMNIT GHOST!!!---

now that there is a drought in "real hip hop" im everyone's hero for managing to survive in this environment---but there was a time in which shit like this happened ALL THE TIME pre TFA.


aug 98-

electric lady.
i walk into electric lady coming from waverly diner across the street. bag of food in hand
i walk inside and walk downstairs.
nas is talking to the receptionist and hands me a $20
grabs my bag and says "its cool...keep the change"

i thought he was joking so i let 15 secs go by but he kept walking to studio b.

me and the receptionist were laughing and i thought...well maybe i should keep this 20 cause this story is too funny...

but i was starving...


and then i thought about it...and my ego kicked in...

how does this nigga not know im not the delivery boy from the diner and not questlove??!?!??


i mean for god sake he bitched to the source the HARDEST when we got a higher rating than It Was Written....so i KNOW he has to know....

i ran like "yo!!!!! i thought you were playing....that is my food yo..i thought you were joking"


"naaaaah....i....thought you were the delivery boy..."

*hands bag back*

*me and the receptionist were like "this nigga must be high as hell"*

there are 2 $20 dollar bills i have on my wall at home.

one from Prince--he tipped me jokingly for being funky

the other from Nas....i never gave him that $20 back

lol i was waiting if you gave the 20 back or not haha

You kept the $20. Hilarious.
