-I didnt go out Friday/Saturday night...I felt EXTRA bored. My friend invited me out both days around 10 PM but i aint feel like going out after I was in my crib.
-A LOTTA shit is going to go down. :-D. FINALLY got a venue booked for the next FRSH PULP show...it was a pain in the a$$, but we think it'll be well worth it...this spot Alibi is pretty ill. We've been there to chill before and liked it so....We'll be having it on April 7th so..
-I've been usually (even by my standards) obsessive with minor things. And I wonder why I walk around with aspirins and get headaches extremely easy.
-I WANT SUSHI!!!!!!!
-Beanie Sigel has a solid discography with the zenith being "The B. Coming". The Solution woulda been better if his A&R/he had a better ear for beats. He's better baring his soul than being "Beanie Mack" if you ask me.
-I want to visit the museum with a lady and then get sushi after. I guess it makes sense. Every spring/summer I open up and get friendly!
-I'm on a high right now!
WOW @ this week!!!!
Well...this week has been one of the busiest weeks I've had in a while. I keep meaning to update this bad boy but I've been running around.
Monday was Chrisette Michelle's Listening Party. I was on my feet all night (lol like 3 hours) and I'm mad i didnt get to eat some of the appetizers they had (sushi and teriyaki) or drink anything from the Open Bar . SMFH. My ppls from FRSH PULP covered the event so check it out! I exchanged cards with some ppl. Saw a few celebs but I wasnt really that impressed (Ne-yo's mad short lmao). We headed over to Groove NYC, a live performance venue and had a good time there until...
My homegirl from Def Jam A&R calls me and tells me that a certain artist will be brought into a meeting with Lenny S, a head A&R @ Def Jam and some others. It is an artist who's fairly noticeable on certain scenes in NYC and has been doing some stuff recently to garner press. I've been bugging shorty about coming to shows or hanging out with us and it always turns out that when we hang out @ certain places, we'd meet said artist and chop it up. Cool dude. She said if I'd known son was unsigned, i coulda referred him to her and both our names would been on some important documents because she works directly under the SVP of A&R for the entire Def Jam. As far as I know he was in negotiations and I'd heard that Def Jam already was in the runnings but nothing concrete. I'ma leave said artist unnamed for obvious reasons.
Naturally, I was PISSED as hell because 1.)my name means more exposure for my company, 2.)I do a bit of A&R for my own show by finding new talent, and 3.) that coulda led to something big. I still am a bit upset but w/e
Met a gentleman by the name of Kenny Silk who was performing some renditions with his band. He had good energy and stage presence so I got a chance to chop it up with him after and he referred me to his daughter who's a singer so here's hoping good stuff comes of that.
Wednesday....oh boy...
We hit up Dream's Album Release Party @ the Hiro Ballroom. My dude Steve couldnt come cuz he didnt have proper ID SMH. I gave my bro my old ID and he looks like me so he gets in everywhere. I was about to walk the fuck out because they were charging $40 @ the door and then flipflopping back to $20 and all this shit. I got in for free because I had my Def Jam ID (lmao @ Illionaire hating saying i wouldnt get in with that ID on Twitter. Fuck boy!!!!) but i was enraged because it's the principle. If it's $20 with RSVP, say so in the fucking confirmation email!!!
Crazy part is I'm walking out, cussing like a sailor and everyone's looking @ me like I'm crazy. They wanted to stay so we just paid and got in.
We ended up getting a table and we just bugged out the rest of the night till like 5. I know it's club "procedure" but i cant stand chicks who crowd around ppl who have tables. It's not the first time it's happened to us. We paid for our table now give us our space. I mean to be logical, the place was crowded as hell, but I dont like ppl who dont mind their own business. On the flipside, we were dressed well so I guess it would make sense for them to assume we're upwardly mobile individuals. I just like my space when I go out. I'm approachable as I have nothing to be arrogant about but I just can't stand people trying to be in your face and on your dick in these types of settings. Then when I ignore ppl, I'm the bad guy. but anyway...
I'm glad we all have Caribbean parents who taught us how to dress for these events cuz we ALL looked fly and dapper. Stasia said we looked like something out of the "Roc Boys" video..

Latest Happenings
-I've been feeling a bit "off" lately but I think i've shook it off...
-Averaged 2.5 hours of sleep this weekend. It was a wack weekend but w/e.
-Hit the titty bar up with my dudes the other day (Kahlua where Sean Bell was killed R.I.P.) . To be honest, I didnt see the point. I aint too big on tipping some girl to shake her ass in front of me when I cant even touch her , among other things. It was a hood joint so you already know that baddest joints wasnt really in the main part and were giving lap dances. One of the strippers had an AMAZING body tho. It's amazing how "normal" these chicks look when not on duty...makes you think...
So I'm being standoffish and just nonchalant looking sideways @ the chicks and shit...and lo and behold it caught the attention of this one stripper. BAD body but i SWEAR i saw her in a porn (LOL. I claim that for any chick who looks/acts scandalous)..one of my boys claimed to think the she might have gone to JHS with him so she comes over and asks why I'm standing with my arms crossed. I just said "Long day @ work" and she was just chatting me up. I'm respondin with general answers and shit since I know how the stripper game goes. She was aight just doing her job or w/e. I'm looking 2 her eyes when she came over..LOL she was SCOPING cats fists to see if we had singles in em. She's over here chatting me up WHILE my boys are just about fondling this chick. Her boss comes over cuz she thinks the chick was talking to us too long.
The night was a result of not being able to get into our first option. The gay ass bouncer was hating on us WHEN my boys had gotten into the same spot. And the bitch ass other bouncer (a brotha) wasnt letting us in. Fuckin' jerkoff....
I'm NOT too big on strip clubs but w/e. I usually hit up clubs/lounges and I'm ALWAYS down for a different experience (pause). Cats looked straight thirsty and shit in there....I'm not the type to just fiend for some chick just cuz of her ass/tits...at least not out in the open anyway...
Cool. Just not my cup of tea. Them chicks is straight hustlers and I feel sorry for cats who wife these chicks.
-Apple has changed my life.
-The Dream's CD is FIRE

The Synopsis
Sup Ya'll...I've been away for the last week and change...been dealing with some other issues. I wasnt feeling too good AND my other Aunt Lola died WHILE my family was still in Jamaica for Grandma's funeral.
I just felt like last week was a trying week...felt a bit battered and off mentally. But I'm getting back into it.
I'm finally glad I copped an Ipod. You know me and my affinity for music...I had to cop the biggest joint out there....Im just transferring all my flicks and Justice League, Guyver and Ronin Warriors episodes.....yes, I'm a nerd...
There's just been mad shit going on....
-Looking for artists for the March/April FRSH PULP Live NYC Series. Holla @ kvenna@theimgway.com or frshpulplive@gmail.com
-Been away from Def Jam for too long. I need to get back into the mix.
-Got a lotta shit in the works for IMG. You'll see but check out
-Stuckey and I have gotten along much better. I've toned down on the sarcasm/witty comments....but there might be some blast(s) from the past scouting me as well. I'm not gonna talk a gang of shit about it...but I might be having to make a decision dont want to...and I absolutely hate when my back is against the wall concerning choices.
-I feel like half my brain is missing. I havent smoked or drank heavily so.....I just feel like something's off lately...
-I feel like doing some random shit to jar myself. My life feels like it's a bit uneventful and predictable.
-The Photo Exhibit went alright on Saturday. I'ma edit the video and put it on here with some pics when I get some time.
I'm outty 500.
