OK back in the day I use to be a DJ. Rocking out hard. Went from the tables 2 the booth. As a on air personality @ WNAA 90.1. Where I met a lot of cool people if you cant tell by the way I talk about my graphic designer (who is still single sexy with no kids.... O yeah he's not the only one. I roll with a lot of spiffy guys. You have 2 check out Ralph 2. But ladies watch out... He take his clothes off for it..... I joke I joke.... I kid I kid! Love those 2.) But I also met the homie Mike Philly. We use 2 cut up on in person outtings on the mic. Cool kat. He is still doing his thing up north on the radio. And now he has a podcast. You have 2 check it out. Download it 2 ya ipods or just let it play during your work day. Good Stuff.... http://phillsmaniaradio.podomatic.com/entry/2009-03-30T18_01_50-07_00 PHILLS MANIA RADIO ... (Only Takes 4-6 mins to download.)
And while I'm on the music tip. Make sure you check out my man Big Pooh of Little Brother: He has a new single and video out called The Comeback
Man I wish I have been blogging for years. But since I've just started. We have 2 go back 2 past rants. & now classic Journee' Itching. Talking to my bestest friend LiL' "O" yesterday it got me rethinking about Ghostwriting. Needless 2 say we all know Bow Wow has had ghostwriters for years.
{Side note}Why 4 he thinks yes "Y 4" he thinks he is one of the greatest of all times..... I'm still trying 2 figure that one out. Your not the greatest because T.I. has ghostwrote for you. That makes T.I. one of the greatest.
Anywho thinking about this.... Made me think back to his song he had out with Omarion Let Me Hold Y0u. Now I can't front Omarion should have been on that track alone. Because I was loving his part. Then here comes Bow Wow. Nothing out of his norm. Blah flow. Until he hit me with this gem.
Down down, around Atlanta, Atlanta fo-found Everybody know now What I'm tryin to do I say, Down down, around Atlanta, Atlanta fo-found I'm just tryin to get you to Down down, around Atlanta, Atlanta fo-found Everybody know now What I'm tryin to do Down down, around Atlanta, Atlanta fo-found I'm just tryin to get you to.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW Really. Now I will be the 1st to say I haven't done any research to see who wrote this song. But so far my thoughts are as follows: 1. Was that Bow Wow's attempt @ writing? Is this what the greatest is made of? 2. C/O LiL "O" Was it a joke and guess what the joke was on him! 3. Will that nigga say anything someone tells him? I Got Questions! 4. Do he have any friends. Because I promise you if Ozy came @ me like "Yo J, you gotta hear this.... Its fucking ill!"
Side Note: That's why I love Ozy so much! He never hypes up his own shit. He lets me hear the track and then tell him my thoughts. His shit is real! It needs no hype. Listen for yourself. download your free copy of Exciting Times on his blog www.OzyReigns.net Great music for free.... What a treat.... Back 2 the regularly scheduled rant.
& hit me with a nursery-rhyme! Really? I'm a real friend I would have shut that thing down. Joke he he ha ha now record over that.... now. NoT now but Rite is Rite now! Keep that on the low low.
Which brings me to this chick... Miss Keri Baby as she calls her self. Side note If your aren't up on one of my fav blogs Absolute Brook you need 2 get up on it. "Real Bitch Island" I'm trying 2 told you! She keeps it real. & Keeps me rolling.
But Brook also touched on this topic. But from a wee different point of view. You have 2 read it!
When it comes to this chick what I think about is. Damn! Did she make that much money writing for others in the past that to the point she feels she can burn those bridges. LOL .Really chick. I think she bold as FuCK! I mean right now she has one hit. Which doesn't set her forever status in the game. Hell right now it can go left or right. & she poppin shit like that. WOOOW . She may have wanted to wait until the 2ndcd 2 start poppin shit. Not 1st single! And she was writing for some big names too. You really think people are going to want to fuck w/ you when out here talking reck-less. Really. I think she should have stayed in her lane on this one. What Chapelle tell ya. "When keeping it real goes wrong!" LOL Look @ Gullie.. (Sp) The kat who came out talking all that shit about Wayne. Saying he write this and write that. Funny how Wayne became his hottest after he was out the crew. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I must laugh. But when it comes 2 Miss. Keri what really pisses me off is like Brook said how you going to back paddle after you say the shit. O no I wasn't talking about Ciara or Beyonce. But on the track she say check the credits find my name or some shit to that degree. So how in the hell is she talking about just some chicks that tried 2 hold her down? Random girls my ass. I think she noticed her paper wasn't as long as she thought it was and thought she should pull up. If you going to pop off pop off. Don't start thinking after the fact. Damage is done. & You know Miss. Beyonka has a ego. She not about to let Keri get away with that! I bet that's one chick she not going to be writing for no more lol.
And I'm sorry Keri don't dance better then Ciara. Just is....
Yes I think its time for a P.J.A. (Hair & Make Up done by Era of Glam Inc. glaminc@gmail.com) Now a little background on what I do. I'm a personal promoter in the indie hip hop world. So I meet and work with a lot of different people. On a lot of different projects. & I'm far from being a chick stuck in some type of box when it comes to music. Good music is good music rather it be dance, hood, crunk, R&B, Neo-Soul, lyrical hip hop, pop, rock... Whatever {Feel free to test my knowledge} But I have a major problem when it comes to stuff like this......: My homeboy is in the music world. He often tosses me business because hell I am the best at what I do. I appreciate the look out fully! But the other day my ultimate pet peeve accrued. He refereed this I guess group to my company.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
Is all I can really say. I have never heard of these Kats before and I guess this is why they need help on the promotions side of things. But the guy calls me and I PROMISE I thought he was speaking some 3rd world language! All I could understand was
"A Mayne................................. yeah manye .............................. you know mayne"
And it took a hell of a lot to even figure out the manye. I Honestly couldn't understand this man or in his words mayne. I don't know who taught this man how to speak but I'm pretty sure Mushmouth had a lot to do with it. I guess he caught on that me and him wasn't communicating to the point and put on his interrupter! Who wasn't that much better. But I got the point. But I'm thinking these two non-talking motherfunkers are calling themselves rappers. If you can't talk how in the hell are you going to rap? I honestly don't even want to hear that mess. Yes I'm calling it mess because the man couldn't hold a conversation. So how the fuck is he going to hold a crowds attention. People take this music business as a game. Its really a career! Its a real business. You have to practice You have to take pride. Don't just think you can get up on a stage and stand there spitting off a million and two 16s. Sorry it don't work like that. And I more importantly I don't work like that! If you don't take pride in yourself and your work. Don't ring my bell. Text my phone. Or try and give me a cd when I'm out. Because I don't operate like that. My team is ever ellite. I deal with people who are focused and who take pride in mastering their craft. Whatever that may be.
Moral of my blog today is.... Don't come to me 1/2 assin! Your wasting your time.
And please for those who have done this... Stop busting out in 15 min freestyles when I'm on a date or out with my people. Just give me your card and keep it moving. I'm not puffy I can't do shit with your freestyle. Save it for 106 and Park!
Stop Sleeping on this kat! He is funny as fuck! If you have been to D.C. and not from D.C. you know you said the same shit! He is on the come up. Don't front! And I wish like hell I could take a picture like this..... But lest be real my left thigh wouldn't fit in there lol.
OK I wasn't blogging when this greatness came out! But O believe this never gets old to me! Everytime I see it, its like the 1st time. & seems to get funnier as time passes. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Classic! But in true Journee' Fashion! I GOT QUESTIONS!
1. What the hell was she singing???? Please let me know. And why did this song cause her to not only take off her house shoes and put on her wedges! & get up on the table!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I thought the table was going to break. But ooooooooo What a treat!!!!
I've heard so many rumors about this. I heard her mom posted it. Had that been my mom. She would be doing a bid in the old folks home. Period. Some say her boyfriend posted this. Really O really. Can we say break up! And hell if she did it herself. WOOOOOW she's a brave chick. because trust know and believe this shit right here. Would have never got out had it been Empress Journee'. Trust I'm far from a balanced chick. I fall often. (Nothing as great as this right here, but I have been known to do a tuck & roll) But who ever put this greatness up online I just want to thank them for letting me see Scarlet and her Tumble.... Nope call it what it is... Her busting her ASS!
My mom hasn't seen this greatness yet. I'm going to tape her watching it. It should be some foolishness by itself.
OK I was in no rush to see this movie. But I got a kick out of a bill collector stalking people to that degree! I can't picture that happening to people I know! That is so unrealistic because someone would end up hurt! What the hell was he really going when he found her.... Repo someones weave? Come to work with them everyday? Then snatch the check & run!!!! I got questions. You got to see this movie if only to see the bill stalker! And think about who you owe and what would happen if they did that to you. Let Fanny come stalking me if they want to! Get their feelings hurt for real.
OK me and one of my best friends (Bishop) have decided to start a blog together! Called:

So now its time to meet someone very very very important to me. I love him too death! I met him my freshman year @ NC A&T SU! (Aggie Pride) When I was a DJ on 90.1. & we have been tight ever since. He's my friend and so much more. He has supported my business from day one. Best graphic artist ever. He has handle everyone of my graphic projects but one. (I have another homie that's a graphic artist and I had to use him @ lest once. But its me and Chris all day!) Trust its not too many people who can understand me when I get to trying to describe what I want. Big small colorful i mean more colorful! I will be the 1st to tell you I can be scattered brained! But he always pulls off excellent work. But trust it don't stop there! He is also a hella great producer! Yep! Can you say SKiLLZ! The boy is BAD. Make sure you check out his pod casthttp://www.datpiff.com/One-o-one_101_Radio_2.m10765.html&no_cj_c=1Yep he's doing the damn thing!
And ladies he's above 25 sexy as FUCK! College educated and single no kids!!!!!! Plug!!!!!! {Ha he's going to kill me! Its all love!}
Make sure you check him out for your producing and graphic needs.
OK IBITCH now.... So almost EVERY time I have a musical conversation with someone that's not from the wonderful state of NC. The same thing comes up. I say NC is a wonderful place for music. We have some of the hottest rappers doing it! But nooooooooooo They want to go and throw Petey Pablo in my face. Like they had a Carolina rap vote and this son-bitch won! FUCK NO! Empress Journee' stands on the following statement!
Petey Pablo don't define Carolina hip hop! All he did was show what the hell was wrong with Carolina hip hop! The wack gets backed!
I said it. And it seems like since then the world don't trust us with rappers no more! LoL Like nooooooooooooo we gave you guys a shot you gave us shit! Your chance is up! FuCk that! I don't care if I have to inform the world one by fucking one that Carolina's is about to take over musically. And bring back some adult friendly rap! Then that's what will be done. There is nothing wrong with club tracks... But if I said it once I will say it a million more times who wants to be in the club all day. I need some o cool out stuff. Hell this rant has motivated me to put up a Carolina video!
Duh shit I support true hip hop underground! So how about you rock on this one!!!!! This is from my big homies "The Others"! Watch Listen & Love!
And don't sleep NC also brought you Ant. Ham.! Little Brother Jodeci! Forget what they are going through now. The music they made has been a classic since the day they dropped! You know you babies are still being made to that joint! The world is going to respect my state damnit! Discover North Carolina!
Man I was on my normal Sunday walk in the park. Listening to my new Sony Walkman ... {Yes I put the Empress Journee' Stamp on this product! I love it. Hate the head phones but upgrading sometime this week to some skulls. Yes I admit it damnit I'm so spoiled!} But back to the point. I was having a good walk when one of my favorite songs came on! Bobby Valentino's Anonymous featuring Timberland! The song is dope. "I wanna know I wanna know...." Then here comes Timberland's big goofy ass. & I'm at a lost for words. Why for he had to come mess up a perfectly good song? Kathyann or Mary-Lee. Just shut up! I always turn the song off when his part comes on. I just don't understand it. Like damn did they not push that part throug a test group. Tim really needs to stick to making beats and shutting the hell up! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBEv_YN2w6A This made me start thinking... Who else could have been left off that song? LOL. And I know I'm about to catch hell for this next one. But I honestly hated that LiL Wayne Ms. Officer track. But again I loved Bobby V on that track. I just wanted him to be on there lol. Lil Wayne - Ms. Officer Insane Mixaken Rmx from Insane Mixaken Music on Vimeo. So yes I'm saying LiL Way could have been left off that track.
DJ Unk could have been left off the Walk it out remix! I said it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ8Q7pPdH-o He was a waste of a 16! And the last on my list for today has to be Bow wow. Although I don't care for him much at all. But he really could have been left off of the track he did with Omarion . Let me hold you! Omarion was holding it down... Then here comes bow wow's none rapping ass fucking up the whole track! I have a list of people who could have shut that track down. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlmIAoyBhHg But nooooooooooooooooooooooooo his wack ass just had to mess up the flow. I can't even talk about this no more i'm getting mad.
Can someone tell me where they found that spooky old lady @ on the Ikea commercials?? She really scares me!!!!!! I walk into my kitchen waiting to hear a faint husky voice talking about my cabinets! I couldn't find a example of the commercials on youtube. But I know i'm not the only one who has seen this lady!
Really I think Q from making the band is a fucking *BITCH*! After watching a few making the bands he just has a huge amount of BITCH in him. I don't get it. He really needs to put on his big boy draws! And walk this shit out. I honestly don't think he is made for this business. I never understood how he made it over that sexy ass DeAngelo Redman is beyond me.... I really was @ a lost for words when he didn't make it. What the hell. & now we are stuck with this bitching ass Q. Mark my words he will be Day 26's down fall!!!!! He weak. They might as well weed out the damn weak now before he drags them down any more.
Damn that boy get's on my nerves! You would think I knew kat personally!
Errrrrrrrrrrrrr
But I have to give much love to Mike in Day 26 holding it down for the Carolina's! He reps us very well! Thank Ya Love! Stay sexy!
(Yes I used pink to highlight the level of bitch i think Q is.)
On my blog I try and bring you the purest of my thoughts. From music, art, and hell I'm not a fashionista but I do know what I like. & I want to put the world on to that Journational Style of thinking. And maybe introduce something new to you.
