You have to believe in dreams, I mean aim high. How else can you explain Skillz gettin’ Mariah on a track? Read the rest of this entry »

If you peeped “Bagpipes From Baghdad” yesterday, a leak from Eminem’s Relapse, you may have noticed the song was a direct jab at happily married couple Nick Cannon & Mariah Carey. Over Dr. Dre’s spiraling Irish instrumentation, Eminem spews ether like:

“I ain’t playin’ no fuckin’ more/Nick Cannon you prick/I wish you luck with the fuckin’ whore…”

or

“I mean I really want ya bad you cunt/Nick you had your fun/I’ve come to kick you in your sack of junk…”

Suffice to say, Mr. Cannon is less than amused and spazzed on his blog:

I’m taking full action on you Eminem. I don’t know why no one has stood up to your bitch ass yet. But I guess it’s going to take a corny, wack rapping, boy toy from Nickelodeon to set you straight. And trust, I am going to be relentless. Even though I got a lot of other obligations and occupations, you are my new full time job “homey”! I asked myself should I go find this Bitch and just whoop his little ass? Read the rest of this entry »

If you’ve been paying attention to the Smoke Break, you would’ve known this one was on the bubble.

For every Dennis Miller & Bill O’Reilly trying to knock Hip-Hop’s newfound connection to politics, there’s a Neil Armstrong.

You can pretty much ask anyone (literally) who’s encountered him in some way & they’ll tell you that through it all, Neil is one “grounded” dude to say the very least. And to watch his rise from the dude politely asking me to take down his catalog…then granting us our inaugural Smoking Session. Since then homie’s progressed to DJ’ing for Hov, to working Obama’s Inauguration and, still, nothing’s changed.

He sent out this email blast yesterday & posted it on his blog. It’s his recap of the Inauguration Day events. It was so moving, I told him I’d be reprinting it in full.

“You need to grow up…Djing will get you no where.”

I’ve actually been told those exact words. Years ago when I was maybe three years into DJ’ing, by an ex-girlfriend. She was Korean. (ohh yeah u know I was gonna mention that – its called being salty….).

Actually that sentiment has been expressed to me by many a person at times in my life, even myself. Ask my boy Vinroc; at one point he had to pretty much convince me with his hippy lollypop land mentality to keep at it.

Hmm, well let’s fastforward to what I did for the last 3 days shall we ;)

The people of the United States inaugurated the 44th President – Barrack Obama. 1st time in history, we have a black president – actually as Jay drops in the new remix – “Our president is black , in fact he’s half white – so even in a racist’s mind he’s half right…”

That’s a line from one of Jay-z’ new remixes – You can download the “My President is Black” song right here. It’s dope, give it a listen…

On this grand occasion, I actually got to contribute a bit of my craft to the celebration at the neighborhood inauguration ball, and also for the 1st time in history 2 turntables and a mic were there on this grand stage to welcome the President to his new office. Read the rest of this entry »

“..and you’re my number 1 candidate.”

This song randomly popped up on a playlist at some point last week and I had to let it ride out..

At the time it dropped, I had just began to notice the inverse proportionality between Mariah’s breast size and her talent; the larger one got, the more the other deflated. Read the rest of this entry »
