The Power Of The Kitty Kat

So apparently Mr. Wiz Kahlifa has gotten Amber Rose's initials tattooed on his body.


*blankstare*


We got into a discussion via Twitter about the power of that black hole between a womans theighs. Another famous lady that has been sort of "passed around" was brought up. Ms Erykah Badu of course...who else? What you thought I was going to say another jump-offs name? Nah...

Now, Ms. Rose has a well established list and is known for getting men to "wife" her quickly such as the likes of Wiz Khalifa, Reggie Bush, and the arrogant Kanye West. She reportedly got payed one million not to speak on her and Yeezy's relationship. To me that's considered winning, but lets take a look at Ms. Badu's stats.

Now Erykah has been on the scene for years. She's been with the greats like, Andre 3000, Common, and Jay Electronica. Not only does she also have a career that doesn't consist of hopping in and out of beds she ALSO has a banging body. Do I need to reference the "Window Seat" video? Erykah wins the whole thing...shes got kids by all her conquests..well damn near all of them.


Men tend to go downhill after getting into Amber's box. When en encounter Erykah's goodies they go on to do great things...notice the pattern?


So NEVER shall we compare the two. As mush as I love me some bald headed Amber, she cannot hold a Bic lighter to the greatness that is Erykah Badu!

Big K.R.I.T's Return Of 4Eva Tour Kicks Off In The Big Easy



Last night kicked off the "Return of 4Eva" tour in New Orleans, and I had the great pleasure of being there. This comes immediately after Big K.R.I.T. released his new album. Touring along with him his right hand man from his hometown Big Sant, Harlem native Smoke DZA, and Gary Indiana representer Freddie Gibbs. Along with performing new hits from his album such as "Country Shit", and "My Sub", K.R.I.T. also performed fan favorites like "Hometown Hero". Curren$y made an appearance and even requested an old song from the "K.R.I.T. Wuz Here" mixtape.

Words cannot express how proud I am of Big K.R.I.T. and Big Sant, I remember over a year ago I was doing an interview for The fuShion Magazine when they still called themselves the Alumni. Keep grinding guys, only time will tell.

Tour dates and all other information involving Big K.R.I.T can be found on Returnof4Eva.com

Legal Woe's Pile Up On Rookie





Ok…I understand there’s a lockout taking place within the NFL, but sir…Mr Bryant there is NO reason why you don’t pay for your coonish jewelry. Apparently the Rookie Dallas Cowboy owes over 246k for unpaid jewelry with the most expensive piece being a $60,000 bracelet.The Jeweler and Dez's counsel are now in the process of working out all the fine details.




Look here Dez, take your ass to the workout room and go train. Just last week he had a run in with the laws over his sagging pants. You NFL players clearly are bored now that you don’t have anything to do. Glad all my Saints stay out the media!

Crowd Pleasers

Ummmm...is it just me, or do female celebraties seem to be frequenting basketball games at an all time high? They seem to either be attention whoring or showing off their high priced heels.

I am a lover of all heels, so I ALWAYS enjoy seeing these pictures of todays so called "it girls" gracing courtside seats nationwide.
















Now we all know Queen Beyonce is the BEST at this game. I seriously doubt any of these females actually go to the games because they're such huge sports fans, but how else do you stay relevent. Word of advice to LaLa and Ciara, how about you to miss a couple of games for awhile. I'm sure Ciara will have to resort to borrowing some clothing pieces out of La's closet because we all know who's #Winning in that friendship.

Rules and Regulations of Mardi Gras


Working as a MC on world famous Bourbon Street, I encounter many idiotic tourists that are completly clueless as to what will fly in the city of New Orleans during Mardi Gras Season. So I've compiled a list of rules for out of towners to go by to keep from getting on locals everlasting nerves.

1. The street is NOT your bathroom. If you need to piss OR drop a duece, fight the crowds and make your way back to your hotel room. Or pay a little to a shop or bar owner to use their facilities. NOPD loves to arrest people with their pants still around thier ankles.

2. DONT litter. Its understandable that trash cans on the streets become full quickly during parades and drunkan nights along Bourbon Street but do your best to throw your trash into one. Its nothing worse then slipping and falling over a hand granade bottle.

3. Buddy-up with friends. Sorry to inform you clueless fools about this, but this is STILL New Orleans. Our crime rate is VERY high especially during Carnival. Pick-pocketers love a drunk, wondering, confsued tourist thats all by themseleves. Have a meet up point with friends in case you get lost in the crowd.

4. BRING YOUR CREDIT/DEBIT CARD Having your debit or credit card is the safest thing you can do. Having alot of bills on you makes you a target for pick-pockters.

5. Lucky Dog Hotdog Stands are not your friend. Dont even do it...I dont care how drunk you are. I have literally seen a man wash his hands in the lukewarm hotdog water.




6. DONT pet the police horses. Thats the equilvilant of you petting a HUMAN officer. Those animals are trained to back people into walls in case of an emergency. Your drunk ass petting it is simple agrravating the horse and the policeman.

7. Flashing your breasts is not nesscary to receive beads, and do it around a police officier and see how fast they whip out the handcuffs. Dont let those old imagaes of "Girls Gone Wild" fool you.

8. Always have your ID. I dont care if you look 55. I know personally at my job we dont let you in unless we can phyiscally scan your ID. We do that as saftey for patrons and us.

9. Doing stupid crap like fighting will only get you arrested. And let me tell you about New Orleans Police Department. They will put you in a van with everyone else they've arrested and leave you there till their shift is over. Which is usually anywhere from 8 to 12 hours. Then after being booked in jail I promise you wont be released till AFTER Mardi Gras day.

10. The hospitals down here are shitty. That means watch your alcohol intake. Having to be transported to a hospital for alcohol poisioning is time consuming and it fucks up the trip for EVERYONE.

Follow these simple guidelines and you'll be sure to have a great time...hope to see you on the street! Dont forget to buy me a SHOT!

Industry Influence #40


First of the month ladies and gents, so you all know what that means. Those bills are due and my boys Wild Wayne of New Orleans own Q93 and Nuthin But Fire Records CEO and rapper extraordinaire Sess-45 held the 40th Industry Influence at the Hanger.

Industry insiders, dj's, rappers, directors. singers, models, and fans packed the building to get some real knowledge on how to further their careers.

The night started off with EF Cuttin at the one's and two's while New Orleans own premiere modeling group "Pink Ink" took to the stage to model some of Springs newest fashions. Wearing everything from dresses, to swimsuits, to beautifully done jumpsuits the girls gave a little eye candy to the nights opening events.



For all those who don't know about Industry Influence or have never attended one you should know that Wayne himself even gives people that normally wouldn't be able to perform or speak, a chance to grab the mic and share with the crowd their personal successes. If it be the smallest thing as letting everyone know about their services or business, or a new music related endeavor, all is welcomed.




The evening continued with performances from local and surrounding artists kicking off with a young rapper by the name of "Freakie Da Dude" A solo cat who kept the energy and set the tone for following acts.



"Flo'rescent", a quick witted female out of the local New Orleans area. She was even compared to as "the next best thing since Mia X" You all know how I feel about someone comparing themselves to my mama.... I'll honestly be looking forward to future music from her because I tend to give props to ANY female who gets it in onstage. She could stand to work on her stage presence a little, and your "hypeman" should NEVER enter before you or be the mail focal point during a performance. Present ion is the key folks.




A group by the name of "Pay Homage" hit the stage and seemed to bring their own cheering section with them. Word of advice to all aspiring entertainers bringing your own crowd does help. Hell...they got my attention.




A rapper by the name of "Iago" slowed it down a bit with some smoker-esque beats and poetic rhymes. I will mention this, when trying to make a name for yourself and performing in front of a new crows its always best to stat off with a fast paced song to get every ones attention and audience participation.




a new favorite of mine graced the stage. A young and upcoming lyricist by the name of "Dee-1" He performed his new single "Jay-Z, 50, & Weezy", which paints a vivid picture of him having a round table discussion with the namesakes of the song. He released the video for the song and its already reached national recognition, even being played on the ever popular MTV Jams. The ex middle school teacher is unique in many ways. Keeping profanity out of his music and a positive vibe while bringing important facts and issues to light seems to be his speciality. He patiently waiting and quickly becoming even more of a factor in the game.






The performances came to an end and made way for the first panel of the night. "Creating Viral Videos" was the topic of the night with special guest speakers rappers Dee-1, Y.Luck, and Natee', video directors Bonose, Big Ramp and 2 Cent. All of these speakers had one thing in common, they all created a following off of their self made YouTube viral videos, and film projects. Speakers explained the importance and benefit of using simple editing tools and the Internet to create a fan base. If you look up any of the above names on YouTube I guarantee you wont be disappointed with the quality of their work.




The final and most informative panel featured world famous DJ Drama. Drama explained how he got his start simply hustling his own mixtapes around Southern college campuses. The Philly native grew up watching the likes of DJ Clue and the late but great DJ Screw. He studied their hustle and grind and basically emulated it. Instead of presenting his face to the world Drama kept it strictly about the music acting as just a "worker" for DJ Drama when people would ask who he was. He explained how rapper Lil Jon dropped the "Gangsta Grillz" soundbite that you hear on all of his mix tapes and how he basically branded it and made it known all around the world. I was amused by one thing in particular. Drama told the crowd how while rapper Dee-1 was performing his song onstage earlier he was looking up his music video for the song. It goes to show you that no matter how big you think a person is in the game, you never know who's watching for newer greater things within the industry.
