APRIL 2005
We desperately hope your month is going better than Shawn Kemp's! He seems to have forgotten what it is to hang out in suburban Seattle neighborhoods at 3 AM with the po po's keen sense of Driving While Black in full effect. It seems an NBA superstar can't cash in an old Sonics Ghetto Pass when he needs it most! Give a guy a break and find out if his friend cops to the stash!
It's a new look, a new direction, a new day at Crazy Pinoy and we are taking you with us. Find out why we will be the first place you go to find out what's next before it's next! Our tastemakers know two years before the civilians what they'll be listening to, watching, tasting and.......uh........smelling!
I am going on a video game Fast until that Godfather project at EA Sports is done. Can't wait. Meanwhile, that new Fifa Street is hard to avoid, giving it to my street team was especially difficult. A diet is hard to keep!
My client Mr. Cinatra made an excellent point the other day. Underground artists who feature name MCs on their projects do themselves a disservice if they don't get reciprocal treatment by the bigger names. I happen to agree. Just because you pay for a line or two to get a feature does not make you hot. It does get the name paid however. If you're hot, get on his or her project too! Makes perfect sense to me.
In seattle urban music news............................nothing is happening this month except Sonny Bonoho, sorry!
BUZZ FOR APRIL: Steve Case, Pope Job Opening, C. Miller, "Fur" (film/Diane Arbus), SeatGuru.com, L.A. house pricing bubble, $3.00 a gallon for gas, Club Ibiza (Seattle), Club Ago (L.A.), Smart Cars, learning to speak Mandarin, The Lodge Steakhouse (L.A.).
WANKSTER FOR APRIL: Tom Sneddon. Your case against Michael Jackson was bogus from the start. Between witnesses who recant everything they told the grand jury to your obsession with MJ, the whole thing is coming apart. Aren't there real criminals out there you can go after instead? Or maybe you need a vacation? Isn't ten years of miscalculation on your part enough?
The Shouts: DJ Roli Fingaz, Keek Loc The Ghetto Prez, SuperHappyWax.com, Nes, White Crane Spa In Seattle, Boxer @ AV8 Records, DJ Scorpio, ESP Public Relations, Jazzmyne Media/PR.
