I know im a little late on posting this but when I was down at asylum/badboy last week with mike and sick we were lookin over the slim cd credits. This is a great look and made me feel real good about the progression we're making.. The firm boys in the buildin tonight! ooowww
I usually never have too much fun on holidays, they're normally boring but this past thanksgiving was much different.. Wednesday night I worked at the bar till 1am.. It was PAAACKED from 9 till 1 you couldnt move, It was a beautiful thing. The beer and liquor couldnt pour fast enough. All my friends and fam were there for the most part and everyone was having a great time. When one o'clock rolled around the party was just getting started so we all went back to Fausto's spot to finish the night off. Heres some video and pictures from what went on..
J, Peedi, And Me Cassie and Me Theresa and Peedi Me and Quad
Videos comin soon...Shout out to everyone that was partyin with us!! Josh, Niko Fausto, Geza, V, Theresa and Peedi, Q, Rod, Cassie, J and Maria, Hansen, Mech, Melissa and everyone else I mighta forgot..
So after the best night of the year so far, I was sitting with Geza, Fausto and the rest of the fam about to eat thanksgiving dinner and It got me thinkin... What more could I ask for? Why waste so much time and energy on negative people when I have the best people in the world already on my side...I have so much to be thankful for: My friends and Family, the bar, Sickamore and all my Famous Family: Jay, Nina, Mike, Sterling, Hovain, Phella, Sakwe, Sean, Christina, Markus, Aaron, Nisarg, Jaz and Bash..
Decided Saturday night I was gonna slide out to Vegas for a couple days, get some stuff done, work from the macbook, chill out by the pool, drink mojitos, catch some shows etc etc you get the idea.. So I closed the bar Saturday at 2, ran to my apartment filled the louis bag with V necks, swimmin shorts, and sunblock and jumped in the charger. Hit a little traffic in the BX but nothin crazy enough to stop the wave.. So I run up in JFK get to gate 1 and hop on the plane.. Put the new Kanye on repeat, put my seatbelt on and start to zone out.. As we're in line to take off the plane starts moving then POW it sounds like we crash.. The TAIL FALLS OFF THE PLANE...wow, everyone starts spassin out, they tow us back to a gate, we evacuate the plane everyone back into the terminal and I retreat to the bar.. 6 hours later we take off.....VIIIIVA LAS VEGAS!
Checked out Chris Angels show... which was a mistake, what a snooze fest Stayed at Treasure Island so the pool was extra wavey, it was around 80-85 everyday so I was prefect pool weather..Hit up this DOPE russian bar called RED SQUARE in Mandalay Bay The bar is named after the most famous city square in Moscow, and arguably one of the most famous in the world. The decor inside was crazy, and the bar was made of ice.. They have a "vodka room" where if you buy a bottle you go into this special room, which is actually a cooler, and drink the bottle wearing a russian fur coat and hat because its 0 degrees inside..Big mistake lol I got TWISTED! and got a cold..
Ran into Chuck Zito, celebrity body guard/Actor/Former president of the hells angels...you might recognize him from the HBO series OZ. But the highlight of this trip was watching Mr. Las Vegas aka Wayne Newton's show. Seeing him talk about the rat pack and sinatra from a round table drinking champagne 10 feet away made my year....

So i was on this Def Jam conference call this afternoon with Ace hood, DJ Khaled, and Kanye West (shout out to hov and nisarg) The point of the call was to promote and discuss kanye's new project "808s and heartbreak.." Here's a little bit of what was said on the call via thisis50...
"Success is like lust... she's good to the touch, she's good for the moment but she's never enough everybody's had her, she's nothin like b.. but success is all I got, unfortunately.."
Yessir, bye bye iPhone.. November is definitely a time for change! I think when they dropped the price of the iPhone and every 90's baby and their cousin bought one it left a sour taste in my mouth...It took away the classy-ness of the phone and turned it into the new sidekick.. I paid half a stack for mine, and if you count the new one i bought after loosing my first one that=$1000.00/ONE STACK. How am I supposed to look wavey when every little ham an cheese eatin 15 year old is running around with one?
Soo after an hour on google and cingular.com I introduce........
