That WAS a beautiful piece of writing tracey...you should listen to Genesis.<BR> The only change you should make is that you should put "Inspired by Nazzie" at the end of the article. <img src="http://www.okayplayer.com/dcforum/Images/happy.gif"><BR> Peace,<BR> Nazzie<P><BR>"I'm so ahead of my time, my parents havent met yet"--Big L (RIP)<BR> <BR> "PTHBT"--Maria<BR> <BR> Pick up ROOTS COME ALIVE!!! Available in either Single CD or Limited edition Enhanced Double CD. The First Live HipHop Album in almost 10 years...COP THAT!!!!<P>

Maybe you might want to look into putting together a tour and getting a booking agent to book you all, like "the Jazzyfatnastees Tour" I think making black lily a free event was cool but in the end you all are suffering...You all definately should have been getting paid for you performances by the promoters. I'm sure that everyone appreciates a good free show but you all deserve to be paid. Hell if I can get $500.00 dollars for spinning some records for an hour with hotel, airfare and a stipend, YOu all (Live Music with a Band!!!!) should be asking a pretty nice amount. If you all email me I will give you the # of my booking agent maybe she can get you some more dates overseas IT WOULD BE COOL TO DO A EUROPEAN TOUR FOR YOU ALL, PLEASE DON'T BE VICTIMS YOU DESERVE ALOT MORE THAN THAT...TAKE YOUR CAREER INTO YOUR OWN HANDS IF THAT MEANS SOME UNDER THE TABLE ISH THEN SO BE IT...I KNOW YOU ALL ARE UNDER CONTRACT SO YOU CANT REALLY SING YOUR SONGS IN PUBLIC WITHOUT GIVING SOME DOE TO MCA but hey there is always a way (wink wink) I hate to see you all being dicked over by the industry...you all truly have talent and are against the grain...unique...Hey have you ever thought of doing a club remix of one of your singles nightclubs are a selling must!!! you get dj's buying your album you got millions of nightclub goers hearing you album Maybe you should try to get some up tempo remixes of your songs to make them nightclub friendly I guarantee you will se a rise in album sales...I wish you all luck, and just let me know if you need any help I will be going on tour...send me some promos i will help promote you guys in anyway while on tour I spin house music so some accapellas would be nice that way i can play your songs over a house beat ...YOU ALL DON'T SEEM TO BE GETTING ALOT OF AIRPLAY IN DC...seeing that this is a town made up of mostly women (8-1?) that is definately something you should take into consideration...the next time your in town definately make a radio appearance...thats a must...well...i'm gonna stop being jabber jaws...I am really concerned though let me know what I can do to help you...<P>peace<BR>genesis

for reading our journals...<BR>They mean a lot to us, we get a chance to get all of things stuck in our minds off our chest. If they can touch or inspire someone that makes it extra special to us.<P>Thankyou D.J. Genesis for your kind words. I've always considered myself a writer and would love to someday have my words published (as a matter of fact my mother use to tell I should go into Journalism) but you've given me courage to believe that one day it will happen. Thankyou<P>Nazzie, your so cute! Of course you inspire me...love ya<P>Peace,<P>On the black lily site we started up a column called: Ask Momma Lily...if you need someone to talk to , or just need to get something off your chest...just email: bmommalily@aol.com<P>Tracey (from the Jazzees)<P>Belief initiates and guides action<BR>Or it does nothing....<P>Embrace diversity.<BR>Unite<BR>Or be divided,<BR> robbed,<BR> ruled,<BR> killed<BR>By those who see you as prey.<BR>Embrace diversity<BR>Or be destroyed.<BR> Earthseed: The Books of the Living<P>
