This shit has been out for a minute, but I have give this dude Red love on TSS.
HVW8 is an art gallery off Melrose in Los Angeles — a dope little spot that shows a lot of love to local acts. I don’t know the full back story of how or why a homeless man named Red showed up at the back entrance of the gallery — armed with a wish, a prayer, an ill-ass funky beatbox and quite possibly a broken sternum — and I don’t know how we get this man signed, but I do know he concludes his shit talking about “I’m not computer savvy” and asking Warren G to sign him.
Now, I’m not sure Warren would be the most choice person to seek — in fact, Warren might could do with Red’s help — but after seeing this, Red’s wish is my command…
Warren. Family. From the bottom of my heart… I implore you to watch this. And I pray you’re a bit more computer savvy than this man.
Built-in Vocodor, fam?! I need/want lessons. I hear a rumor HVW8 is trying to get Red to do an album. I hope that’s true, on account of I got “I Should Tell Ya Mama On You” stuck in my head on a most serious level. Notable quoteables for days. You’re about to start your weekend off right with one of Red’s lines emblazoned in your brain, like, “Smokin on that granddaddy/ Make you wanna slap ya grandmammy/ Make you wanna hit that laffy taffy…” “Here we go aaaagain/ Me and my lonesome ass friends…” “We about to get hyphy with it/ You claim that you don’t like me, quit it” and of course, the entire female name breakdown.
Have a good weekend, TSS and Warren G… who I like to believe is watching this.
Enjoy Red at HVW8 again here.

This dude is DOPE.
*Dead Serious*
Do they have dudes contact info at the gallery?
(I am not even playing)
Ahhh… the way of the industry.
He is already hooked up.
*Frowning*
Aint the first homeless cat I heard spit some fiya…but definitly the most talented/unique/fresh.
Dude needs a new name though. Red just reminds me of Freeman in Shawshank and he wasn’t exactly the wildest character in film history.
*crossing fingers hopin for an m-p-tree*
“After hours girl, I’m all up in it
And after that she keep me Nike fitted…”
My nigga Red.
“armed with a wish, a prayer, an ill-ass funky beatbox and quite possibly a broken sternum ”

THE TEN TWITTER COMMANDMENTS
http://www.unkut.com/2009/01/the-ten-twitter-commandments/
(from unkut.com )
I been in this game for months, now I’m an A.D.D. animal
It’s rules to this shit, I wrote me a manual
A step by step booklet for you to get
your Twitter game on track, don’t Wale yourself Jack
Rule nombre uno: let everyone know
every efin’ thing you do, cause you know
Hundreds of followers breed jealousy ’specially
if that update fucked up, suck your teeth up
Number two: never let em know your next move
Twitterati hate silence but heart text violence
Eat a dick hipster rappers (uh-huh)
I done typed mad updates while driving state to state
Number three: never trust no-bo-dy
Your moms’ll follow ya Tweets, that’s type corny
PR’s spam ya shit, for that fast buck
try to game a dame to tear that ass up
Number four: know you heard this before
Name-dropping is frontin’, shit’s a straight bore
Number five: never Tweet about biz in the street
I don’t care if it sounds tough, someone’ll call ya bluff
Number six: that god damn phone credit, dead it
If you’re not on unlimited browsing then forget it,
Seven: this rule is so underrated
Keep your blog and Twitter account completely seperated
Updates and posts don’t mix like two dicks and no bitch
Find yourself in serious shit
Number eight: never reveal your plans to you-know-who
Them cats that follow your feed can start blogs too
Number nine shoulda been number one to me
If you’re drunk out your mind stay off the updates homey (uh-huh)
If Twitters think you lyin’, they ain’t buyin’
They be sittin on your RSS, waitin to text more mess
Number ten: a strong word called obsession
Twitter will get you hit by a bus at the intersection
Tap out the Crackberry while you crossing the street
Facebook lost, that dame shit can’t even compete, uhh
“Don’t make me shoot my jumper on youuuuu”
“For Whaaaa?, For Whaaaaa?”
^ LMAO!
can someone rip this for a zshare?
That was illllll
ya’ll late, im already in the process of signing dude. Ill let him go in a bid war between G.O.O.D Music and Nappy Boy Records..
Shit is dope!
Check our remix

This shit is real fly and the guy is seriously talented. I hope Real Anonymous is right, and that he is hooked up. His story alone would be worth signing. Jamie Foxx / Rob Downy ish.
Warren G, though. I think he’s just laying in the cut, kickin it with the fam, laxing on the rest of that TV money. Shit though, he did basically break Bishop Lamont. Midnite Hour is a dope and underrated album.
Thanks LC. i enjoyed that.
More Red….

Looks like someone did hook him up. Single coming in February and everything.

this shit is absolutely crazy when me and digital dao heard this a while ago it was exactly what WEBER described….. “I got “I Should Tell Ya Mama On You” stuck in my head on a most serious level.”
Amen hahaha
“I might just sick a hobo on you”= my new threat…
wha wha what a second…he got an autotunin thing with him..or is he doin all this shit on his own?
For what!? For What!?
I deent do nothin
I deent do nothin
I will buy the album! especially if he gets them artists to lace him with fly art & aesthetics.
I don’t even want him to get “real” beats — his beatboxing is hard as fuck!
just needs clean crispy recordings, & some guidance, & maybe some minimal production that accentuates his steez.
oh, & I thought that was Bling Bling from Bum Fights too! But it’s not. You can see his face in the photos.
Bling Bling’s hilarious & creative too, but he’s a straight up crack head forever, & would never NOT be a sad joke.
But this dude Red seems like he’s still a real person, just been thru bad circumstances. I’d really like to see him come up.
THIS IS CLASSIC! Loving this and cannot get it out of my head since I heard it this morning! Today’s artists have NOTHING on old boy! Comedy and a flow! Thats whats up
can we start a campaign to help get this man signed. It is a real shame that you have raw talent like this wasting away while people like TPain are getting rich off of this sound…. Maybe that Twitter bull Pdiddy started can help him
Is Red free yet and when is this song going to come out ….. need to put this song on jango.com…. he can get airtime there… this is where a lot of undiscovered artist showcase there talent
