and why does she thinks San Diego is the hometown for Jurassic Five?

*shakes head*

Damn it, hire me to be on the touring crew for The Roots if it's that way.

fair son." - Jay Dee

cuz I don't know where they're from either.

san fran? sam bernadino?

they were from L.A.

anyway, someone probably said "they're from here" (meaning Cali) and Sam interpreted that as San Diego, since that is where they were ... just a guess

She used the word hometown. It's really not that big of a deal though, to me at least...

Shit, if haveing an extensive knowledge of hip hop is a prerequisite for working for The Roots, then I should never have been hired...

all of the LA references on Quality Control, I think that's a safe bet.

Is Samantha the white girl in the red tank top with lots of wires attached to her who was trying to fix Truth Hurts' mic during her set in Mountain View?

Whew.....and I thought I was pissed when someone on another post misspelled India.Arie with.....India Irie.

I just figure that hip-hop obsessives should be the only ones who get to be on a hip-hop touring crew. If ya don't know where J5 is from, ya should get axed. LOL.

...on a road crew is a hip hop obsessive. That -ish only works for writers and performers. She's obviously good at what she was hired to do, which I highly doubt was obsessing about hip hop.

It's like working for an agent who's star struck .... gotta line up those priorities accordingly.

well put, i was going to say the same thing
peace

i don't want to do this

You misunderstood my usage of the made-up term "hip-hop obsessive". By that, I mean someone who has an extensive knowledge about hip-hop. In the era of the overly sensitive hip-hop artist, who really wants to get into a beef just because someone on their tour crew sees Cam'Ron backstage and says "Hey, aren't you down with Nas? You're one of my favorite rappers from Queens!". LOL.

...fully.

I was just remarking that her knowledge of hip hop groups has nothing to do with her job .....

...industry politics is something she'll have to deal with eventually as a representative of the band. When dealing with politics, it helps to know about the players on the board. In that sense, I wonder how fully you do understand me. LOL.

yeah right, so they talk about how much they know and never shut up on the tour bus, then Reek gets pissed and throws them off in the middle of nowhere anyway? I'll take the New Mexico white girl thank you very much.

and a floozy, given niggas ass or something?

Darren's wife on "Bewitched."

I guess she's the merch cat?

her shit is lame though, what the hell is she doin out of shirts on the road?

she needs help
http://ummah1421.com/rizqy_business.html

quit spittin' drama out the side of your neck, instigating situations, when you have don't know the chick or the situation ...

i mean damn ...

now I want to meet her

So she does a lot of things. I doubt that running out of shirts was her fault.

She is a very nice person, I just want her journals to have more pizaaz. She has it in person, it's just not coming across...

All the junkies on these boards would be jealous that some *new girl* 1. got hired to go on tour and 2. gets to keep a tour journal...She must be HOT!!!

I agree though...more pizaaz, please?!!!?!?

She does need to expand on how they ended up in Ohio somewhere between CA & CO!

Maybe SHE needs an assistant...not cracking on her, but she may be able to relay her experience to someone with writing experience. I know y'all aren't tryna put someone else on the bus, but someone at the OK office can help her...maybe....


...a suggestion

You guys are dickheads man. She receives whatever comes to the office. Call Dan or Shawn. Damn.

gtg

i mean, i feel for her. like simpathetic, and wow you graduated to having help too?

>her shit is lame though, what the hell is she doin out of shirts on the road?

calling someone whom you dont even know lame over some shit you obviously have no clue about

all the info we got was "bangin resume" and a years worth of calling

come on Dan, I didnt know she was Tina's help. From the posts, all you gather is she's with the merch like its her job on the road. I mean, I know if Tina is the Tour Manager, that is alot of stress, so Sam must be the super stressed.

Like I said, I was crude at first, but now I get the jist. It has nothing to do with staff and all that shit either. Regardless of what i say, its about what she says, right?

I mean, I hope she at least enjoys the experince and that Tina gets her man

Personally I don't think you are always jumping to conclusions, but hey, that's life, everyone is free to interpret the world as they wish.

You sig explains it all... :o)

just that statement rubbed me the wrong way

seeing how you (AJ) are one of the few okayplayers I know on a personal level (away from the computer), i can imagine you didn't mean anything nasty by it.

part of me feeling some type of way is likely due to the fact that I know better than anyone the details of the smokin' grooves merchandise situation ...

so I did perceive a certain sort of "jumping to conclusions" from the remark

that and I also know Sam to a degree and this her first time out with The Roots and that definitely is not something anyone can just deal with.

and yeah, to each his/her own

please give that girl something!

she's about as exciting to read as watching my 80 year old grampa cut the grass....

at least name her diaries something different..

summer of sleepers

*yawn*


much love,

if you got beef: http://www.okayplayer.com/guidelines.html

and thats that.

Mainly the NY D'Angelo groupies?

Why am I thinking that Sam is gonna do the same thing to all of yall? hahaha that'll be funny...

Hey Tankie, aren't Shawn's, Tina's, and Nou's b'days coming up soon? I remember cause it was around mine...Leo's reppin...

And Babygirl...you look

Shawn's is today, Nou's is Monday and bollix to me because I forgot when Tina's is...

HAPPY BURPDAY BE-YOU-TEA-FULL!!!

I think Tina is the only August Leo...
I'm the 4th :-)

And Babygirl...you look

interesting?

>I think Tina is the only August Leo...
>I'm the 4th :-)


August 4th! I'm pretty sure Tina is August 5th.

>Why am I thinking that Sam is gonna do the same thing to all
>of yall? hahaha that'll be funny...

yeah, that'll be hilarious.

pause.

i'm sorry, were you saying something?

they are lame..

but anyways..why is it that cats always hate on the "new" staff members? LOL...like they gotta pass a realness test.

Yeah, I'm saying though they let your short, chainsmoking ass in...

.

scrub incarnate

i mean, ?uest basically setd the tone, his ass is busy so tina assistant is busy. she prolly not even seeing the light of day. first one up, last one out. actually, i feel for her cuz I been there NOW back to your munchkin' lucky charms ass. Go sing Danny Boy at a gay midget Kareoke bar.

Or if Sam swings your way, treat fer to more than a kind word and a cigarette , lil buster
lol

i aint singing no danny boy..anyways for the record Sam seemed mad nice and she was cute when I met her in april...............I think most of yall bammas who write posts about staff members are just salty that you arent one of them and instead home alphabetizing your mp3 collection.

what nice gotta do with it? I'm pretty sure she is, and jokes aside I feel for her.

Lil Buster, fake ass John B look a like

so he can fix your busted ass face.

Actually, Jurassic needed the most tix there cause of fam. Take it up w/them Hip Hop Phone Book.

gtg

yeah, a can imagine? So Tina, I mean after your set you can go and chill for a second, till you see the over all manager, right? I mean your assistant is lugging DJ equipment too?
