I Try To Stay Up On My Blog Thang

But so often I get behind. Caught up with real work. Work that keeps me up at night. Like tonight, I mean it's today now, but I been awake since 3 a.m. It's 6:06 right now. Tired of tossing and turning I decided to get up at 5 a.m. and come resize these photos and do a little blogging before the phone starts ringing and the hasslers start hassling. There's good thangs in site though, looks like in October I'm going to be able to do only what I want to do, not what I have to do. Serious, couple good good thangs on the horizon.

On to blogging...

Jon Caramanica's article on Houston came out in the new SPIN Magazine. I suggest you go cop that. I haven't seen it yet but DJ CHILL is AMPED about it . Thank's Jon, I'ma check the Kroger again today for this mug. Hello Sia, I'm finally up in yo book.

Last week as you full well know, we had that boy Diplo on Damage Control. But did youknow he also got on TV with DJ Chill? That's right, Chill's Thursday Night Freestyle is blowing up mayne and well, last weeks special guest was DJ Dip Low. Peep the realness of it all:


I wish I knew how to get this show from my DVR onto the internet. For real, it's a keeper... You need to see it. These boys like the Dynamic Duo or some shit. It's been said before...










DJ Chill interviews new rapper Kenika (spelling?) who's new single "Drag That Bitch Out The Club" is about finna blow up. I see a New York show in her future...




I love these people...


These people too...


Antho (far right) and his crew go live on Thursday Night Freestyle. You'll hear 'em this week on Damage Control.


Kenika


Kenika attempting to do a drop for DJ DeeBlow


Still trying...


The man Sambow and Diplo. Sambow says he's the first Latino artist to record with UGK. He does have both Bun and Pimp on his debut album...

Then after the TV show we headed just a bit south through the warehouse district to the Meridian where QBert was performing at a Scion event I helped promote. Unfortunately (I Mean I actually liked the shit) this was about when them thangs started to kick in, and well, we really didn't stay long. Them thangs don't really make for um, socialability... Don't even ask me about them thangs... They're the next level.


See how they kickin' in? See how we go VIP staright up in the club via the freight elevator?


For real.


Walked in and immediately got the VIP crunked up...


First class all the way.


Crunk.


CeePlus was spinning when we got in.


Chill was supposed to host, so he got up and got the stagnant crowd super hype for Cee but was then told he was getting them too hype and asked to please stop. But for real, if you never heard DJ Chill yell over a housey version of a Nirvana tune, you haven't lived. Shit was hilarious. Chill left the stage and the crowd went back to staring stupidly at the Scion ads flashing in front of them on 20 screens. I really hate DJ shows where people just stand and stare at the DJ. Seriously, I don't dance or anything, but shit talk amongst yourselves or like, walk like Ronald. I don't fuckin' know. Just don't stare, it's not polite you fucking nerds. In the foreground, that's Rad Richard, the man who got me on KPFT back in 1991 for Strictly Hip Hop Sundays. We did that show together for almost 3 years...


DJ Mel was in the house. He went after QBert though, so like QBert, we missed his set. Boyzwasinadaze...


Monique took my job with them car hawking folks, and I thank her for that.

Then the next night was the Houston Press 15th Anniversary Party, dubbed Houstontronix on that internet. Definitely appreciate them boys Diplo and Low Budget coming down as they fucking killed it of course. Nice crowd up in there, but it was a big place and as always, even though I was all up on them thangs, I got mad because the place was not uncomfortably packed. When I have something to do with an event and it's all roomy and shit, I get pissed.


Anyway


They


Jammed


Like a mug...


Had to buy drink tickets at this lil ol' event so I saw A LOT of these lovely ladies. Hello Danielle, you're famous.


Things really started getting blurry by the time Lin Yee showed up. We're not on New York time girl!


This is my office, and you're bedroom if you ever come and stay with me.


Really, I can only take so much.

See you next week in New York? Chingo Bling, Scavone, JD and DJ Elle, Joe's Pub Wednesday August 31st. That bitch gonna be crunk. Do not miss out. JD says he's playing all classic bounce. Not Cash Money and Webbie type shit neither, we talkin' BOUNCE MAYNE. Stay tuned...

Chingo Bling - Joe's Pub - Aug. 31 NYC

Diplo Live Last Night on Damage Control - Zay - K-Rino - Etc - It Went Down

Already. We finally got Diplo down to KPFT to do some Damage Control. He and Chill are a throwed combination but for some reason Chill steered clear of them tables last night and politicked with the people around the station. Tons of folks showed out last night... but we didn't talk to everyone like we normally tried to do, we just let Diplo do his thing and let Golden Child



let loose with a flurry of jeeahs and well, I don't know, I was faded as fuck, so I don't really even remember I'm just listening now putting the pieces together...


Zay and me


Berthel and DJ Chill


Big Chance reads the Ozone

Hollertronix board in effect

And yo on a side note, I have been busy as fuck and have not been able to go read much on this here internet but I got a flurry of messages yesterday from people telling me that there is some kind of disagreement as to what ended up in this current issue of Vibe. To the extent that some people have said something like "Why HoustonSoReal in there, nobody care about that shit. Houston gonna die out soon enough no one cares." Basically. I don't know, I haven't seen all this shit yet so I won't really comment on it.

I will say however don't get your pants all jammed up over a fucking list. I have certainly been angered by lists before, but shit man, magazines give you a certain amount of space and a certain amount of time to fill it. Thanks to Kris Ex for filling part of it with a mention of HoustonSoReal. Don't be fuckin' mad, there'll be other magazines, other writers, shit. Why you mad?

Don't be mad at me fool cuz my posse is thick...


and will bust you in the grill with a bottle...

DJ Eva say, keep my daddy name out yo mouth punk...
