I GOT SOME HIP HOP STORIES TO TELL...

[hustlemania]

- used to kick it real heavy with Cheo Coker(Rap Pages) back in the day.. he was cousins with my homie Kareem, so we had access to damn near any show, music, etc back in the day in LA.. used to go to Lyricist Lounge pretty frquently, and everyone was there- Freestyle Fellowship, Dred Scott, Nonce, Bahamadia.. place used to be thick, so saw alot of live performances, battles, etc..
- speaking of Cheo, he gave Kareem a demo tape and we'd ride around bumpin it forever.. he used to say, "im tellin you.. this dude is gonna blown up.." over a year later, come to find out- it was Biggies demo.. he'd sent it to Rap Pages..
- girl i dated(spoke earlier about her/Kool Keith)- one of her best friends from high school, lived with Havoc and sold alot of weight with them dudes..
- i used to be the face of a clothing brand, and the brand manager was one of the starters of Phat Farm.. long story short- he ended up sponsoring the No Way Out tour, and Puff flew all of us up to the first stop.. kicked it backstage with LOX, Lil Kim, Busta, Lil Cease and Mase.. again- they had no clue brothas were skateboarding, muchless professional.. anyhow, they were all real cool, and me and Mase spoke for about 15min in a corner, because my older brother went to high school with him in Jax, Fl and they played ball together..
- went to a PMD show in LA back in the day.. and, saw DJ Scratch take the "pick it up"line from Black Sheep, and destroy a set.. this dude even picked up his tables in the middle.. one of the illest sets ive ever seen..
- hung with Del, and Souls a ridiculous amount of times.. all cool folks.. matter of fact, Souls got their first write-up in a skateboard magazine(Slap) and im good friends with the (former)Editor.. still got their demo on cassette at my Moms.. Del is actually pretty good at skateboarding..
- ive spoke about this on here before, but my folks in NY know damn near everyone.. back in '95.. they took me to Talibs bookstore in BK, and he gave me "From Superman to Man"and "Worlds Greatest Men of Color".. highly recommend both books.. and, hes a real cool brotha..
- had a good friend who interned at Patchwerk back in the day, and damn near all of ATL would roll thru to smoke, chill, whatever.. met too many folks.. this was back when Erick Sermon also had the rim shop off Peachtree, and the studio under it.. @The HONORABLE SKJ knows when im talking about..
- did a premier for my video(a few actually) in NY.. Jeru, and JuJu(Beatnuts) rolled thru with their kids to support.. always been a big fan of their music, so felt honored they came thru.. both real cool, and ill always support both of them off that alone..
- met Guru(RIP) in SF, at my friends clothing store.. my girl at the time, wanted to take a pic with him and some dude was being lame as fukk.. he told dude to chill, and wanted to take a pic with him, me and my girl.. we chopped it up for awhile, and the salty ass dude kept trying to whisk him away.. years later, i put 2+2 together- and the other dude was Solar..
- dont know how i forgot this, but to add to the Keith Murray story- so at the show, he called my name out onstage(this was in my hometown, so folks got extra hyped) and i went up and was his hypeman for "The Most Beautifullest Thing".. one of the most surreal moments i can think of, because i used to play that track, and the remixes to death..
- back in '98, Tony Draper flew me, and 2 other cats out from a magazine i was working for at the time.. we stayed in Houston for a week on his dime.. strip clubs, studio sessions, playing pool and all that with 8Ball & MJG, Tela, and some random dude.. random dude, was Rick Ross.. man, that week is insane.. we got so drunk, one of the dudes i was with tried swingin on me because i clowned him in front of MJG and their manager.. i whipped his ass up & down the floor of the hotel, and was sitting in my room(hiding from the police) and next thing i know- a fine ass stripper MJG sent over to my room came knockin.. ill stop right there..

..

i gotta whip up something to eat, but ill roll back and share more stories later, or tomorrow..

i have one i can tell...trooping down south street with my cousin and his friends and ended up coming across a crowded cipher. a couple of them got in it and you can tell they were written because they all were ad libbing each other. this went on for a good 5 or 6 different people, out of nowhere black thought appeared, clearly free styling because he shyt on everybody in the cipher...to the effect of if you can't freestyle get out the fukking circle....and going in peoples gear...and the stupid smiles on peoples faces...and greeting people that walked by (still rhyming). i'm not sure what all happened to the cipher after that but when he was done we left.

i have a lot of roots stories too but they involve fickle people. but i will say thought is very cool, and if you rhymed or had tapes or whatever he would actually listen to your shyt...like attentively. this was before do you want more came out

i got some i could share, also:

- one of my first Surf Expos in San Diego(around '94), Tupac walks up and goes, "you that skateboard kid i just saw a poster of..? i never met a Black skateboarder..thats cold as hell.." i was so confused as to why he was speaking to me,and why he was even there- i barely remember the rest of our convo.. he was a cool ass dude, tho..
- me, Redman & Kareem Campbell(professional skateboarder) were all smoking a L in Vegas, and we realized we were standing on the corner Pac got shot..
- interviewed Luke once(was working for a Larry Flynt publication at the time), and he insisted we bring a porno star.. we brought Candace Von and the interview lasted about 10min.. he went to the bathroom and got a blowjob immediately after..
- went and did a radio show in NY with Jean Grae for a video i produced, and she had a track in it..
- kid i lived with in LA, was dating this Black playmate(forgot her name at the moment).. long story short, they somehow ended up hanging with Suge.. going back to my friends condo, drinking and playing Tunk on the floor all night.. Suge passed out at homies crib, and i pulled up the next day as he was just leaving in a limo..
- see the Pac story above, but insert Kool Keith.. was walking with my girl at the time on Hollywood, he ran outta a lingerie shop.. yelled my name, and said he knew who i was from a magazine we both had interviews in..
- same story as above, but insert Lupe.. he was skating down Fairfax, stopped and asked my name.. told each other we had nothing but respect for one another, and got his info to use some music for a video..
- shot a video with Kurupt, and he was so drunk- he forgot the words to his own verse..
- shot a video with RZA, Ghost & Holocaust back in the day.. it was us 4, 3 other dudes and nothing but chicks on the set..
- picked up Keith Murray, and drove him around for a few days.. took him to my brothers barber, and he was telling some stories about everything from Pac, to Mobb Deep.. we pounded almost 2 fifths of Henny before he hit the stage, and didnt miss a beat.. real cool dude..

..

damn.. i actually got alot more, but it would seriously take some time to remember most..

nikka you telling me you was on the set of silkworm?!

One of my favorites!!!!

I was in Brooklyn Heights in the late 90's getting some pizza with my brother. A Lexus pulls up that was rimmed & tinted that immediately got our attention. Car door flies open & Mic Geronimo hops out. We shout him out & he walks up & talks for a few minutes with us & shakes our hands.

A friend's sister used to do promo & marketing & got us in at a Phat Farm fashion show in Manhattan. I sat next to Leon from Above the Rim & pretty much convo'ed for most of the show with him. Cool dude. Also Ananda Lewis was there & I got a chance to talk to her. She was in person & I got her to smile laugh a few times because she knew I thought she was bad.

I gotta chance to meet Common & Kweli & backstage at Reflection Eternal's Train of Thought concert in Manhattan back in 2001. My friend who was with us knew Common because he went to college with him in Florida when he was playing baseball. Both were chill.

I met Biggie twice because my aunt's ex husband had ties to him. Both times he was chill as hell. I was already a fan of his music but after meeting him I respected him more.

I have more & will add later.

everyone in the office wanted to hit that...she always listening to hot 97 and plays her radio loud too ...but with her ass like that nikkas just put up with it ...this day she listening
to angie martinez and she interviewing lennox lewis he just beat rahman for the belt...she calls me over and tells me "can you beleive how this chick is acting she acting like a damn groupie she making latinas look bad wtf is wrong with her"
in my mind im like but to her face I'm like " she is acting like a groupie" so I'm gassing her up telling her shyt to get her amped I'm like "yo if i was you i would fax her a letter let her know you don't appreciate that"
so she like "papi you right I'm going to do that" so she writes angie martinez a long letter about "stop being a hoe and be a proud latina cause you making us look bad" so after she finishes the letter she starts to have 2nd thoughts
so I'm like "but you did all that writing and you aint going to send it ahh thats some soft shyt" she was getting mad cause i kept baiting her so i had to chill so i go "give me the fax i'll do it fukk it"...boom i fax it like I'm a boss
then go to her desk to get my mack on...in my mind I'm like "angie will never read that fax"...so I'm chopping it up with her then my phone rings...i see its the receptionist transfering a call i pick up and a voice goes
"hey whats up this is angie martinez did you fax a letter to me?" i start stuttering not because its angie but because i was caught off guard and I'm like no i didn't so she goes "so why did the receptionist transfer me to you"
so i tell her "angie I'm the closest to the fax machine...so she like "whats your name" like an idiot i give it to her and my direct line...she asks me can you do me a favor and find out who sent the fax" I'm like no doubt i got you
i tell the puerto rican chick "yo that was angie martinez the receptionist transferred her" the chick was like "fukk that bytch don't transfer to me cause i'll tell her off"...then I'm thinking like "bytch its all your fault"
i call my man who sits on the other side of the office and told him what happened and he's like ...then he tells me if she calls back to transfer her to him he wanted to try and bag her ...exactly 15 mins later
she calls my direct line so she like "so did you find out who sent that fax to me?" so i play it off and tell her some chick named maria sent it (theres no maria in the office)... angie got tight
and was like "damn and it got to be a latina too...do me a favor can you transfer me to her" I'm like cause once i gave her a name i thought it would be over but now she wanted to talk to the female...so i tell her hold on

I have a story. Once I was in a McDonalds in BK and it was around 3am and quite empty, I had bought some food and as I was walking out I found a passed out homeless mothafukka laying on the ground with his mouth open and an empty cup filled with coins near him, upon closer inspection I realized it was lil Cease from Junior Mafia, so I left him my big mac and put a dollar in his cup.

 

[Trey0'5Blue2Gz]

Alright so I got a good one .. Some may belive some may not.. Don't want to give to much info into my own identity but still want to be credible


So idk if some of ya'll remember sometime back Busta was in some shyt for beating up some faggit at some gay club or some shyt.
Can't remember the exact story the media ran but it was something along those lines.

Anyways around that time my brother was a promoter for some clubs in South Beach. nikka was really getting it in because he wasn't scared to get his hands dirty. He got to meet a shyt load of people.

So it's memorial weekend I believe or Labor Day weekend can't rememeber but Busta was out here doing a few hosting gigs and he was going to be at Dream which is club on the beach. My brother tells me that the nikka's really cool, kind of an a$$hole but stil cool enough to chill and talk shyt with. He tells me to slide through if I wanted to meet him later. I told em I would go after I went to see some chick I was fukking who use to work at Club Madonna, which is a strip club for those who don't know. Now around that time there wasn't that many gay clubs on the beach so the few that existed had a lot of traffic going their way. There was a gay club on the same block as Club Madonna I can't remember the name but it was some real homo shyt.

Now keep in mind it's memorial day weekend and the streets look flooded with people and the streets are jammed up with cars. I was real cool with management there so I exit through the back to not have to deal with the crowd in the streets. As I'm walking out the club and I see a bunch big ass nikkas and they standing around this one big cocky nikka. I was kind of faded but there was enough light for me to see them I don't think they noticed me at the moment because they were all focused on the nikka screaming but anywas I look at the dude who's screaming and I'm like damn is that Busta?!?

All I kept hearing him scream was "Son he took a picture of me!"
I kept thinking to myself, is this nikka flipping out cuz a fan took a picture of him? to my smoker's you know when you're high ass fukk and you kinda question everything? In that very moment I thought to myself, wait wtf is Busta doing in the alley with all these nikkas in the back of some clubs when he got to be at Dream My train of thought gets cut off, I hear my phone ring and no lie brehs I was on some not now shyt cuz I legit was just standing looking at this nikka yell repeatedly "son he took a picture of me" I thought to myself, this nikka bout to go ham on me now Luckily I played it off when they turned around and looked over at me, I answered the call and walked off like if I had just walked out

I pick up the call and walk down towards where the beach is at, I can hear my brother talking fast ass hell so before I can even tell him who I seen he tells me flat out "Busta's a fakkit" I started laughing like then
I asked wtf was he talking about. He tells me he got a call from some people telling him that the cops wanted to talk to Busta about an incident that occurred at a gay club with him assaulting some guy in the bathroom & asked if he could help in getting Busta in custody. He tells me he made some calls to ask around on what really happen because he wasn't about to do Busta like that. He spoke to one of the few girls who worked at the place as a bartender because she also would work at another club he did work for. The chick told him some guy had took a picture of Busta inside the club and Busta flipped out and fukked dude up. They didn't have any real security that could hold Busta and his nikkas back so they let him bounce through the back. My brother said he called Busta's people and told them the cops were looking for him and that they would probably show up at the club. They cancelled and my brother was cool about it cuz he was just like fukk it

Now my brother finishes telling me all this but he's on some he can't belive it shyt. But then it hits me right then and there!
This nikka Busta a stone cold faggit
I started thinking to myself damn isnt there a gay club near Madonna's ..



Then I thought, well damn Busta was yelling about some nikka taking his pic









I tell my brother what I seen and we pretty much came to the conclusion that the story was true.

I've only told the story to a few people until now.

Anyone who knows me knows Im not the type to make up shyt so for those who don't want to belive

 

[hustlemania]

ok.. few more, but i gotta open the restaurant in a few hours:

- managed a boutique on Fairfax for about a year.. everyone would roll through.. already spoke on Lupe, but alot of folks would roll through because the owner was the old host of Headbangers Ball on MTV back in the day.. i lived off Fairfax, right up the street from Games studio, and side crib.. Game, is probably one of the coolest folks in the game.. real humble dude, but can go 0-100 real quick.. he wasnt some fake dude.. would just kick it on the block, like anyone else.. him, Chris Brown & Rhianna were regulars(she was aiight..bad attitude).. one time, her and Chris Brown rolled through.. she was stuck up, but actually took a photo for my homegirls daughter as long as i didnt publish/sell it.. anyways, we had the store sealed off.. paparazzi everywhere.. Chris Brown grabbed my skateboard.. without hesitation- did a kickflip.. that aint easy, unless you skate.. he told me him and Pharrell would play S-K-A-T-E backstage on the low.. sh!t blew my mind.. on some real sh!t- Chris Brown a real cool dude..
- speaking of Pharrell.. i did the "Rockstar" video.. was one of the main cats in it.. we were all skating on set-break, and this dude Pharrell decides he wants to challenge me in S-K-A-T-E- because at the time- he was fukkin Beyonce.. wiped him off the map real quick, and later Beyonce called me over to kick it/chat.. she was honestly, very cool.. she even asked to take a photo.. yea.. i still tell that story to my fam, and my parents have the photo framed.. video shoot was dope.. alot of cool folks on set, if you go back and peep..
- same store on Fairfax.. spoke in length with Everlast about sh!t.. mostly, about how he wrote ALOT of Snoops hit.. "Sexual Seduction" was one..
- was at a Redman/EPMD/Lady of Rage show in Hollywood.. cats started swingin.. show was stopped.. saw Red, and he was throwin blows.. said fukk it, and started swinging with him.. not the smartest thing I've done, but made it out alive.. them LA dudes dont play.. they remind me of Fla. folks.. they get to swinging, and whatever goes.. gotta respect cats that throw hands..

...

man.. i can contribute so much more, but i gotta work in a bit.. peace to @Big Skilly Films on the thread.. this a good one, fam..

until next time- yall be easy..

 

[Zach Lowe]
