Birthday Sex....

I seem to be the only one in the world who don't like this song? Its one of the most over rated tracks ever.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTt4GGqBcc0 in short this track is telling me he is not giving "DA DICK" on a normal base. I need good everyday sex. Who wants to wait until one time a year to have good sex. Which is so disappointing because He is a sexy young man. But something is telling me that he's not delivering DA DICK.. It's sad. And for everyone who is getting hype off that track... I'm going to need for you to work on your sex life. I just know 12-17 wont be the only day I had greatness.... Hell if he can only knock it out the park on ya birthday i think he needs to talk to sue johanson or some1 poor jeremih lol (yeah yeah yeah I said it) I'm going to check out his cd and see if he has some other tracks that I may like.

Random Moment In The Life Of Empress Journee

So I was hanging out with one of my best friends. And I simply told him that he was starting to looking like "Yellow Bastard " from Sin City in the tummy area..... And he said "Fuck You" now who is the ass hole in this situation? lol.

You Never Know Who People Are....

I just had a flashback moment. Which I thought I would share.
In the Indie Hip Hop world I can say with comfort my name is out there. I do what I do and I do a damn good job... But I like to keep a low profile. I know online I have some pics with the make up on. But in real life I'm one of the most natural chicks you have ever met. I wear the glam look to events because I am under contract with Glam Inc. The badest chicks out here doing it. Hair Make Up whatever its nothing. They keep me jazzy {if your on twitter @EraKanika scream @ your girl grab an appointment Charlotte NC}. But trust on the everyday its rare you will see me with make up on. I have no clue on where to start there. And in short. No time for it. And for some reason my pics make me look waaaaay taller then what I am. I'm 5 foot flat. All day. No hopes of being 5'1 lol. To the story.... So I went to handle some business @ this mall... I had a lot of folk I did business with in there so I always made time to speak to everyone when I was in the area. Now on this one day I was just running in and out had to pick up this outfit that was made for me. :-) o how I love my one of a kind gear. But before I went I stopped by my fav. record store to speak to my ace. I didn't want anything but to dap him up fast hug and keep it moving. He was talking so I just went behind the case gave him a hug. And was about to leave when the guy he was talking to just spassed. "That was so fucking rude...." This that and the 3rd. Now the old me would have been matching his ass spass for spass. But the old me is tired. I don't want to do no more fussin..... So I give him the slow look. Dap my partner and left.... Buggin off how random that shit was. So I go speak to my other folk have a good time. So I was on my way out when kat ran me down. I had my hand on my bag (it would be in your best interest not to go in this mall without.... shall we say a "friend"). He said to me all out of breath.... "Yo **** just told me who you were... I'm sorry lil lady... He told me I shouldn't just blank on people like that because you never know who they may be... But yo I'm a rapper...." Asked me for this that and the 3rd.... Gave me his math.... then said "Your not going to call me are you?!?!?!?!" LMAO I just walked off.... I had a great laugh about this in the car. You see that's the joy you have when you work for yourself. You pick who you want to work with. And me its never been about the money with me. I do alright for myself left or right. So sure I could have over charged him... But I rather just flex my power lol..... And I feel I was able to teach him a life lesson...

Watch your lip!

The Ugly Friend

OK
I have to touch on this topic. I'm shocked I haven't said anything before tonight. But this is errrrking the hell out of me. I know guys think there is always one hating female in a group of females. But let me drop this knowledge on you. There is always one ugly friend in your crew. (This may hold true to females. But hell i'm talking about the guys tonight. I may feel the need to talk about females tomorrow.) So I will start with this thing I have noticed.
When a group of guys meet a group of girls.... It seems the following holds true.

• There is a un-noted rule in the guys head thinking.... "Its three of them and three of us. This is a win win.

Wrong. I'm just saying.. just because the numbers match don't mean the personalities are going to match so don't push it!

• Why is it the ugly-est guy out the crew always the one who talk the most shit?

OK ex. I went to a cookout the other night. One of my homegirls homeboy invited us over. (Kat can cook I wont front.) So he had a few and i do mean "FEW" of his homeboys over... ie three... (but it was four of us and then two random chicks who just seemed lost and out of place.)

Anywho

I can honestly tell you one of his friends was DAMN DAMN DAMN (in my Florida Evans voice) His mother knew what she was doing when she made him. FLY! Man.... I get excited @ the flash back of this guy. He was NYYYYYYYYYYCE! The other friend was a cutie. Loved his smile had mad sex appeal. He was mos def above average. Good job @ picking those friends to our host lol. (And I honestly feel a trip to Florida if that's how they are pumping them out. I'm so in the wrong place lol) So the evening was going well. Good food drinking games... good shit....

(And PS let me go ahead and put this in writing.. I will NEVER no matter the weather play dare or shot again! EJ. you got it in writing lol)

Sooooooo we hear another friend is coming.... OK so from the 1st two friends its like o goodness this is about to be a sexy man over load. I don't know if my eyes can take such greatness. Until he came through the door.

Disappointment is not the word

happy the other two held their weight... Damn they were fly.... So when he come in he didn't really say anything too out of order. But then again he did. And it just made me think... damn why is the ugly-est one popping the most shit? So out of pocket.

So the point of my post tonight is to send out a P.J.A. (Public Journee' Announcement.) Sexy men. Please keep your ugly friends in check. I mean he could have been the nice-est person in the world but after some of his comments. It was like man in real life. SHUT THE HELL UP. I know I'm not alone in this quest. And if you are asking yourself who is she to be calling someone ugly.... well hell I'm Empress Journee' my ugly may not be your ugly. but hell my crew agreed so that made him ugly lol. Point is. OK we can make this male & female. Please keep your less attractive friend in check. O you know you got one.

And if your offended by this post... Then that may just mean your the ugly friend... good luck with that...

My Fav Song

The new No Homo

I guess everyone knows how i feel about the no homo thing if you don't then please see ---> http://empressjournee.blogspot.com/2009/03/no-homo.html But while me and my boy Bis was @ Happy Hour the other night we got to talking about "Sexy Spec" is what I think he is calling his self now a days. And needless to say that whole foolishness with him in the red panties prancing around. So we decided that it will no longer be no homo. But now No Spec is the new no homo. Please introduce this new phrase into your vocab & start using it today!

Foolishness/ A Baby Back Dere

Now everyone can tell I love foolishness. I mean I am a cheerleader for some foolishness. But this right here may be a too foolish for me. Yes I said IT! Too damn foolish.

Wow The name of this song is She got a baby back dere.... WoW really O really! If the spelling wasn't bad enough wow. The song is called a baby back dere. Kertasy has lost his damn mind. PERIOD. If this is where music is going I am to stop listening period. Its over. I'm done. A fucking Baby Back Dere. No fucking words. I can't even talk about the chick who is on there flapping her wings because this fool is making baby sounds in the hook. This kat is not for real. If I was there A. I would ask for my money back even if I got in for free. B. I would have threw something on his the club owner manager and promoter because they are all wrong for not telling this fool he's CRAZY!

Memorial Day Weekend

& see some of the prettiest women you have ever seen. Hell we trying to figure out who do their hair So I have to admit I had one of the most amazing memorial day weekends. Short break down. I can say it started Thursday when I got to go to speed street with my homie Bis. & got to see foolishness as far as the eye could see (you know I was like a kid in the candy store) But more importantly I got to see wait for it.... BBD! (O you don't believe me). and they still got it. These older men look like they did when they were 12! They have aged very well! Yeah suck on some of that greatness for a second. But the big thing was I even got a chance to take a pic w/ some cats who wasn't even born in the 80s rocking 80s gear w/ flat tops and ish. For some reason I can't find the pic we took together but here's the video clip you can see them in Yep crazyness huh. I just enjoyed chillin out. Now why don't they do a speed street type thing for CIAA is beyond me. Hell that would be the shit. But of course they wont be doing that. (For reasons we all know). YO how could i forget! We saw this chick get 100 BOO-ED off stage! Not once but TWICE! I didn't even have the flip ready. I know I suck. So Friday I was suppose to go to DC for the weekend. But two members of the Stiletto Squad ring me up and tell me we are going on tour. (what we call road trips lol.) So I hope in the car. & where do we go? ATL!!!! Got there in time 2 Check Ozy Reigns set @ Apache Cafe. But not before we got caught off guard by ATL night life. We rolling down 4thlol. Come to have it they were men on the stroll. O i can't wait to see that hookers on the point on HBO! Why it hasn't come out yet I don't know. It was a real cool ATL trip because I didn't have to work. & got to hang out & shop w/ the girls. The underground was a treat! So many interesting people. VERY interesting! (Hell I even ran into my graphic designer in the underground! He stay in NC like me. That was a nice surprise hell I haven't seen him since like 06. O the wonders of the Internet. Keeping friends together lol.) Its a different type of breed of man down there. They say whatever & don't care! Yes those on my twitter know what i'm about to say. But i had on a pretty low cut halter top. (I have like one pic of me from that day I have 2 get it from my graphic designer.) But this guy grabs my hand and says "Yeah I've been thinking.... & I want you to be my girl friend." Me being the slow ass that I am just bust out laughing. It was hella funny. Then he looks down and says "Yeah you must have put butter on your titties when you were younger." It was done deal from that point on. You know I had to marry him right... And that's how I met my 2nd husband. (Lies I tell. But I did laugh uncontrollably until I almost passed out!) lol. And I'm about to make all ya'll jelous! Yep. Because I got to see the Kool-Aid man. Aight it wasn't the real kool-aid man... It was a women dressed up as the kool-aid man. Ok I tell the truth it was a women in all red who put me in the mind set of the kool-aid man. Even her braids were red. But her whole outfit was like five different reds. We called it dusty reds! But all around the underground we screamed out kool-aid. hoping she would bust through a wall and have a few cups in her hand. (yeah we can be mean when we want to be but really I wanted to know. ) We ended up going to this pool hall later that night and kooling out. Nice relax setting. The guys @ the pool hall were no diff from the guys @ the underground. Not being able to take NO for an answer! But o the things we ladies come up with in order to swat a fly! LOL. Classic lines were made up that day. Lines I will never forget! (I would drop some but who knows if one of those no-blockers are following me. lol good to keep some things on the ground low.) But ATL was so much fun what a treat. I laughed and smiled the WHOLE time down there. But we had to leave for our beach trip! Yep we went to the beach for "Black Bike Week" which was a little lacking from previous years because of all the hating some of the folk @ Myrtle Beach did! But we met a lot of business owners who was very upset that the town did this to some of their busy-est times. You can tell they lost a LOT of money! Its real sad. In a little bit the Myrtle Beach we know will be a thing of the pass. & Trump is going to come down and take over & change everything. I said it mark my words. But we had a ball. Much love to my Myrtle Beach music fam down there who showed me so much love and fun @ Club Toxic. But it was a crazy night! Mad crazy!!!!!! But we had a ball! We brought it back to the Carolinas on Monday had a mini-adventure (journey if you will) getting home! One suspect left turn and we just lost for a few hours. Really! But we got to see the corn fields and the deep southern folk. It was a over all great trip. I can't wait to meet back up with the ladies on Thursday 2 get Avia's B Day popping RIGHT! Yeah we do what we do how we do when we do way big! Now its pass time for a nap.

Proper "Open Mic" Etiquette

So.... I've been to PLENTY of open mics. And I have now decided to blog me a manual. A step by step booklet "bloglet" to help you get your manners in check when it comes to open mics. Because there are some very disrespectful mother funkers out here. & I would not be doing anyone a favor by not hipping them the proper mic etiquette!
1. If you have been invited out to do a set... Please don't do your whole life's works. Please don't do your whole cd! Just honestly in real life! Real talk. Don't nobody want to hear all that shit. It is what it is.
2. In the event of a free style please drop your few bars & pass the mic. Nobody wants to hear a hour long freestyle. Trust me.
3. If you haven't ran your set by someone who is not related to you... Don't come out to do it to a mass group of people. Because more likely then not. It sucks!
4. Don't bring your family and extended family on stage. If a mother fucker you don't know can come on the stage & start doing the running man... HAY! You have 2 many folk on stage with you. If you can't stand out w/o all those people then you really need to rethink your rapping.
5. Don't get mad if someone don't like your track. If you can't take opinions on this level you just need to stop now. Give up lol.
6. Stop taking all these drink bottles on stage. That's just tacky.
7. If you are going to have a hype man please make sure he/she knows the lyrics of your song.
8. Please know the lyrics to your own song! Its nothing sadder then a rapper who don't know their own shit! If your music is not wroth you remembering.... It damn sure aint wroth me remembering!
9. You really never should talk shit to the people in the crowd. You never know who they may be.
10. If I'm in the house and I start playing hip hop duck duck goose. And you feel the tap. Please just step down and pass the mic. No Questions No Back Talk! Just pass the mic. And exit stage right!
