Men cheating and women when are we going to stop acting surprised

Men cheating and women when are we going to stop acting surprised. I am speaking on this because it seem like Tiger Woods is the butt of all jokes. I mean I go to bed listening to them and wake up to them. OK we got it he cheated and now it is taking a lot for him to stick up for his mistakes.

But my problem is then his wife is acting like she didn’t know. She had to know something because it is a proven fact that a man only wants another women when something is not going right at home. Not saying that it is her fault that he resulted to cheating but what I am saying is that she could have known way before now and prepared better for this tragedy.

One thing I have noticed from talking to people is that a man loses interest if you bear his child and mess up your girlish figure. Not saying that they didn’t want the child but just that they didn’t want anything to change behind it. They still want you to still be freaky in the kitchen, bathroom, and alley (whatever you guys do). But you have let him open up the can not advising him of the consequences of the maternal instinct. Sex goes out the door. Reason why I say that is because if you are a good mother then there is nothing that will stop you from being there for you child. Then you think about your man. But in the mean time he is contemplating on what he can do to get you more interested and see he has needs to and sometime they should come before the baby’s needs.

So of course you are thinking that you have to prove to him that you can be the perfect mother and he could give a flip when it come to his needs, you are slacking and you will pay for it dearly. When I say pay for it, I mean you will be the one that have to suffer because you start to get confused but you know you are not going to turn your back on your children at all. After all of the arguments you are thinking that you proved your point because he is still there and he is just working late or hanging with the boys as he says and your responsibility becomes your children and he says he fine with it.

Immediately I would have thought something is wrong because a man can’t just go with out sex and live on this earth. So you should be thinking what is going on am I satisfying my man and if so why has our marriage turned into a hotel sleepover every other night? Why are we so distant ? What happen to movie night with the kids? What happened to movie night with momma? Why am I going to the store by myself and he don’t have time for the kids anymore?

I can go on for days, there are a lot of signals. I know you are like I shouldn’t have to guess he is a grown ass man and he should be able to tell me those things. If you don’t want to be with me, then just tell me because I can handle it. Then I am going to cut you…..A man is never going to tell you directly the truth at all. He is going to go all around it then agree with you about the truth. But you figured it out later. So if you think about it is not going to come easy for you. So you continue to care for the children and since your husband is a multi-millionaire. You say I married him and bared his children, and I don’t give him a attention because he is a grown ass man and my children need. Well after he wins he goes out and celebrate. Asked you to come along and you kept telling him no, the babysitter…., John sick, jade is sick. I don’t want to them off on my parents every night just to chill with you.

You might as well call the ladies up yourself and say ya’ll can have him I don’t mind. I am not saying that you have to be there for his every be ken call but at least meet him 75% of the way because they are expecting that and you want to keep your man. This is something that I learned. If you don’t give him a reason to leave then he will be right there because it is breaking his pockets for him to take care of that other woman because he have to make sure he let her know that he is the big man.
He will be a totally different person with her because she makes him feel like somebody. When actually what she is doing is filling that big ass head so she can get even more money and gifts.

So I mean look at Tiger’s wife, she actually act like she didn’t know and I really think she knew something. It just took it getting out to the media for her to get fed up and that is a shame because I really think she could have saved her marriage. The reason that I say that is just like I explained before. A woman have to have a clue when her man is cheating and if the relationship has gone bad. Another thing she left him and she is letting all of those women have him with no strings. Watch how unattached they become of him because it is not a chase anymore. He can actually be under her all of time and that is not what she wanted.

But I wouldn’t have left, I would have worked it out but there would be a price to pay for the hurt and suffering. But that is your baby’s father and the man you loved for 5 years. You can’t just blame him because he is human. They were something missing and you two should have discovered what it was before it go to this point.

Double Standards- Can Women and Men be friends?

I want to know can Women and Men be friends or does it always have to turn into something sexual? I mean if you look at it, you can say no in some ways and then you can say Yes! I think it all depends on the people.

I have a friend and she was so confused about what is going on in her relationship. Well her husband is big in the entertainment field and he deal with different people on a daily- both men and women so it is kind of hard for her. But she has always been told that men and women can t be friends because the man is ALWAYS GOING TO WANT TO HIT! Well she is now dealing with a situation with him dealing with all of those women trying to get at him and all he say is "I love you, and I just look at it as business". Well that is when she started talking to me because she thought that was DOUBLE STANDARDS when there is an excuse for his actions.

I didn't want to touch this one with a ten foot pole at all but I said I will help her out. But one thing I will say, I didn't persuade her to leave him or anything like that. I just told her to be more observant because it is Double Standards. You can't justify anything you said for the other person and give an excuse because of who you are and what your intentions are at the time.

That is bogous bullshit and he knows it. I mean she have to look at it like this, if he didn't bring it up and you had to notice it then your feelings do not matter. I really dont think that he cares about her feelings because if he did then when she asked him about it she wouldn't have even had to remind him of what he said and then him deny it by saying I didn't say that recently. BULLSHIT AND AN EXCUSE!

All I have to say is the way to stay on track is you make sure you are doing the same thing. You have your male friends but dont stoop to his level , just keep them as friends, because anything further then that will classify you as hoe and that is something you want to avoid.

Till we meet again!

World Aids Day - Something I have to say!

As you all know December 1st, 2009 was "World Aids Day". Yeah that is a maouth full all in itself for me. First thing I did that morning was explained to my children (teenagers) why this day actually exsist and why it is so important. I have to say (not because they are my children) that they were very informed on the statistics and could share information with me and their father. MADE ME PROUD! but I also had a chance to talk to my "God daughter" whom have been back with her mother for a year. Her mother was incarcerated for a year and now is out. Mind you I will never keep a child from their parent and so I told her it is good if she moved back with her mother (bad idea) and so she went.

Well I am not going to use any names, but my god daughter is 14 years old and she came down for Thanksgiving to visit. First of all I noticed that she hadn't gotten bigger (eating good I thought) she have a "New Swagg" about herself, something none of us were use to. She was just a little too fast and grown for me. But thisis my god daughter and I wanted to see where her head was at the time and what she had been up to. Well one thing that came up (from her mother) while she was down here, was she skipped school the day before she came to my house. I was like why is she here? But that is something that her mother have to deal with. But she skipped school and she was with her friends and her 17 year old BOYFRIEND! What the Hell! She had his little ring on her finger like she was going to get married that day.

Her mother asked me to get her a pregnancy test because she said that she had sex with the boy (not telling me that) and talk to her.I was thinking what am I suppose to say that a teenager that is having "unprotected sex"? I was dumb-founded because my son is 13 and daughter is 12, I have had the talk with my daughter and my son talks to his father about thing like that all the time. But check this out I have talked to my god daughter before also when she was in my house for 2 years about 1 year ago. MY HOW THINGS CHANGE in 12 months. Well I started telling her about the whole getting pregnant and AIDS and STDS and the death toll is high for the AIDS victims and stuff like that and how little boys are "Dream Killers" because once you are pregnant there is no more cheerleading and stuff like that. Out of that stuff we talked for 3 days.......the only thing she came back with that she got out of it was "Not to have unprotected sex!" I said not at all but that was what she wanted to hear. I was exhausted at this point so I sent called her mother and I told her what she got out of it and told her mother that you can't be her friend any longer because she is highly disrespectful when it comes to her mother.Well she got back on the bus and went home. That is a learning experience to me.

But as I thought it was all over and then I was in the car and I was listening to the radio on December 1st and there was a very positive segment that was devoted to World Aids Day. The DJ and the team were talking to a lot of people that either contracted or were close. Well something happened there was a lady that called in and she was crying. I was like okay this is different. Well she said that she was listening to the show with her husband. She has been married to him for 24 years and the show compelled him to tell his wife that he is on the "DOWN LOW" (my mouth dropped)but it gets worse. He has been on the "Down Low" for 5 years! And when you thought it was all over it gets worse!!!! Then she says that he knows how important of not catching AIDS is to her and he has been following through with his husbandly duties since then and he then told her THAT HE HAS BEEN HIV POSITIVE FOR 2 YEARS AND BEEN KNOWING IT. He said he didn't know how to tell her. Not only that he hopped out of the car because he said that she was thinking about how he feel because he had to tell her. ***** please he is so lucky that she didn't kill him because I know a lot of women that would have right then and calling into a radio station is the last thing that would have been on my mind; The radio station talked to her and she was on her way to the clinic and get TESTED and was suppose to call back into and you know what?????? SHE DIDNT CALL IN AT ALL.We need to be on the look out for this lady she may have went mad.What would you do if that happened to you? People PAY ATTENTION!!!!! Aids are out there and you can't do anything about it once you get it so PREVENT IT BY ANY MEANS!!!!! I want my kids to grow old and you should too!!! Get tested!

This is a very talented man. He is from Michigan and is a FORCE TO RECKEN WITH!!! You have to check out his website http://vsohott.com/ and also his blog http://talk.vsohott.com/. V-SO Hott is a songwriter, producer/engineer as well as an UPCOMING R&B/Pop singer. I think I heard a little rapping too lol. But Karla and I will have him on our show!! He has worked with different well known producers out of the ATL area as well as ARTISTS (mainstream) also. Let get up close and personal with this man. Ladies I know ya'll want to know if he is single or not. I have included some pictures and his bio as a heads up!!! Check us out at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/BE-Heard-

V-SO HOTT BIO

It all started with the beating of two sticks against a drum set and the playing of sweet melodies through piano keys that lead William Dana Sanders, also known artistically as V-So Hott, to the falling in love with music and everything it had to offer.
Practically born in the church to a single-parent home in Kalamazoo, MI. His mother had engraved music into his soul early on with her lead and background singing for the local church choir, and had him listen to the likes of Michael Jackson, The Isley Brothers, and the legendary Luther Vandross as a child. Upon meeting a musically inclined friend, Derek Cobbs, at church, V-So soon mastered his craft with the drums and piano, he continuously stuck with his newly found talent until reaching high school and then picking up the electric guitar. Eventually, he also learned acoustic and bass guitar and once reaching his senior year the life changing decision to become a producer arose with much motivation and excitement.
Listening to various artists such as Usher, Mariah Carey, R-Kelly and Beyonce began the beginning of his production career, but R&B and rap weren't the only tastes in music that fed his diverse appetite. Alternative rock made a grand impression also, with artists and groups such as Zack Wyld, Switchfoot, God Smack and Linkin Park taking music to another level for V-So.
Just listening casually to these impressionable artists wasn't the only factors that molded the young triple threat, also working with Bo Watson, who is a singer/songwriter for Midnight Star, co-producer and music director for Baby Face, Tony Braxton, Earth, Wind & Fire and many more, trained V-So and provided the preparation and the finishing touches to his production development…and soon his songwriting skills.
On his 21st birthday he packed his Mac computer, studio speakers, and 3 of his 7 guitars into his car leaving behind his family and church, and after driving 13 hours he stepped foot into the red clay of the music mecca, Atlanta, GA. The move to Atlanta was primarily to position and place himself around the people and places that could take him and his talents to new and successful heights.
His first encounter while being in Atlanta for a visit prior to his move was with Kory “KG” Griffin who worked at renowned Patchwerk Recording Studios and has many relationships throughout the industry. He vowed to take V-So to the next level soon making their friendship and business relationship grow instantly as he became V-So's manager. Through KG, V-So has met, worked with, and became great friends with Leslie Braithwaite, producer and mix engineer, who has just recently mixed Young Jeezy's entire album, “The Recession” and super producer, Oak, who's done work for Chris Brown, Pussy Cat Dolls and many more.
V-So's production is quickly soaring to new heights with upcoming artists such as Dolla and Hollyweerd with the placement of their vocals over his artistically made beats, and he stays in the studio constantly working with Steve-O, songwriter for Mario, co-producing with both Leslie and Oak and planning to make his introduction into the game as not only a producer and songwriter, but also as an artist.
He plans to keep his options open for now as far as signing to a label but plans to have a deal in the works by late 2008, and ultimately making an everlasting impression on the world.
“I want to bring the actual talent, the playing of instruments and the true meaning of life back to music because now everyone feels that they can be a songwriter, sing, produce, and do music but the truth is the value of real music has been devalued and I plan to bring that back,” says V-So in his studio with his fingers soaring across his keyboard.
Virtuoso is a musician with masterly ability, common technique or personal style, and multi talented V-So (which is an abbreviation of virtuoso), who was named this by his pastor who prophesied it, has proven this definition in ways that has and will be seen throughout the world sooner than later.

AMERICA’S DIRTY LITTLE SECRET: CHILD ABUSE AND INCEST

Here in the U.S. we give a lot of lip service to looking out and caring for children but the reality is different. Actions speak louder than words. Cut backs and under funding of federally mandated child related programs, like Head Start and No Child Left Behind for example, and cut backs in student money for college . But worse are the number of children that are coming out of households where rape, incest and child abuse has been a living reality. Millions of children have become adults to lead families that are directly or indirectly affected by this scourge. Throughout my life I’ve met and talked with kids and adults who had these mental, physical, and emotional battle scars to overcome.

What makes my story intriguing is that I had no idea that my family had a direct connection to this abuse and an indirect one as well until about 8 years ago. While growing up there were things that seemed odd at times leaving me with open ended questions in mind. Mom is loving, has a youthful approach to life, is a talented seamstress, church going, and meticulous about a clean house. She was a worrier, always thought the worse of a situation, and would rather tell you what you thought than to ask you what you were thinking. If things were going well for too long, she would wonder what `bad’ thing was coming up next. Sometimes the obsession with worrying and fear caused arguments between she and Dad, and made me a nervous wreck throughout my childhood (stomach ailments & eczema). I was shy, outgoing, and followed my father’s personality in being a leader. It affected my brother in the sense that he had difficulty in speaking up for himself (extremely shy), although he overcame that in college.

My wife and I dated while we were teenagers. When I came on the scene her parents were divorced. She lived with her mom, who was an alcoholic with the problems that brings: inconsistencies, embarrassment, confusion, little structure, etc. My attempts were to be there with the shoulder and to give support as much as I could. But there was this secret that made it difficult to get a handle on what was happening. When my wife (girlfriend) got frustrated living with her Mom she moved in with her father. That’s when her mother let on surreptitiously that there was something more going on with the father. It turned out, the relationship she had with her father is what broke up her parents. Being a teenager the full impact of this didn’t hit me until much later. I was more concerned with being the loving, caring boyfriend. She kept going back and forth between her mother’s home and her father’s with no peace of mind. A couple of years later while we’re still together she tells me about what was happening with her dad. If I knew then what I know today, I would have been a gentleman and assisted her, but I never would have married. She never received counseling for the alcoholic mom nor for the deviant father.

My marriage was consumed with unexplained anger directed at me, times when I could ask questions and not get an answer – just stares, and an attitude toward sex that made her father a hero and her husband the sexual deviant. And even that was contradictory because we both enjoyed love making. Although my son did well in school, we did get called into the school counselor’s office for some behavioral problems he started to have. The counselor picked up on something right away, saying that there was something going unsaid. I wasn’t conscious of the fact incest upsets the basic foundation of security that a mother and father provide for the child. When the sexual predator breaks that basic trust, the child’s view of the world is changed forever. The view the child has of the gender of the perpetrator, is skewed with conflicting and invalid beliefs that affect future relationships.

She rejected counseling saying she didn’t need it. Three years later we parted company. 8 years ago I’m driving through mid-town Manhattan with my mother talking about politics and how I thought Al Sharpton couldn’t get political support from all races because of Tawana Brawley ( someone who claimed to have been raped but never brought charges against her perpetrators). Mom goes on to say that she believed Tawana. I insisted that if it were true, she should have moved forward with criminal charges against the perpetrators. In a little voice Mom said, `No body believed me!’ I said, `What did you say?’ She repeated it and began to relay a story to me of how her father had told her and all 6 of her brothers and sisters to go to bed. And then called her down to be with him. While he abused her, her oldest brother came down and knocked the father off of her. While the father pummeled her brother she ran away to another relatives house and never went back. She said some of her siblings didn’t believe she was raped. This also included her mother and her favorite aunt at that time.

Throughout my childhood I wondered why her mother and aunt treated her so bad, when she and my father would buy things her mother needed and would send money too. But this was never good enough. Two sisters and a brother would be very off and on in a strange way. With my mother telling me about this travesty, I now understood why the family would act in ways I didn’t understand. I now understood why my mother had her quirks that affected the whole family. She’s a loving person who needed counseling and didn’t get it. Her self esteem was low, so she didn’t stand up for her own personal growth within the family. Although she had some say, she did more of what my father wanted. He had his insecurities too and demonstrated them in how he limited my mother's behavior. Neither my brother nor I followed his behavior with our wives, but I couldn’t get over how subconsciously I chose a woman to marry that had the same problem as my Mom and I didn’t know my Mom had the problem. Truth is stranger than fiction.

The blogosphere is filled with equally strange cases of child abuse and incest. There is a sickness out there in America. And it’s in our homes, directly and indirectly. We say `SAVE THE CHILDREN’ and then send them off to schools that need metal detectors to protect them from guns. We say we love children and have them learning in inferior schools, with textbooks a generation old, little supplies and very few computers. Then we say we want to prepare them for the good paying jobs of the future while offering a curriculum that won’t keep their future job from going overseas.

Even with these additional problems in the treatment of children, the first place children need to be saved is in the home and at school. Parents must scrutinize each other's behavior with children. Be vigil of your child's relationships in school and at church. Don't be blind to abuse because of someone's status: teacher, coach, priest, neighbor. Listen to what your children are saying to you. Child abuse and incest must come to an end. We all can use some analysis. But children who have been sexually abused need counseling most definitely. And those who are indirectly effected, can use a little help too. The predators need a jail cell and counseling.

As we progress through life, complain about the bad times, and rejoice the good sometimes we meet someone who shows us that our problems are minuscule compared to those of others.
This happened to me recently. Though I am a struggling artist and college student and am having difficulty finding a job, I now realize there are others who are having harder difficulties than I. The proof is on www.beheardshow.ning.com I ask that people check out the video The Struggle on there and check this guy out. I also ask you to join our cause and help those that REALLY need it. If you are a Victim Of The Industry please write me at voipresents@gmail.com so that I may get your story out and show others the pitfalls and traps of day -to- day life in America and the world as a whole. Together we can make a change.

Reading Dear Amy today.....

Today I was sitting at home while it was raining badly here in Georgia. I was kind of disturbed by the way this situation was handled by Amy. I think the response could have been done differently. This is the situation:

DEAR AMY: AFTER 21 YEARS OF MARRIAGE, MY WIFE INFORMED ME THAT SHE WOULD BE FILING FOR A DIVORCE. WE HAVE 2 BOYS, AGES 13 AND 15, AND THEY WERE DEVASTATED.
WE LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN, SO I HAVE RELOCATED NEARBY. MY DAY-TO-DAY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY SONS HAS BEEN DISRUPTED AT WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE A CRUCIAL TIME.
OUT PARK-STYLE HOME ON 2 ACRES WILL BE GONE. OUR FINANCIAL FUTURE AS A FAMILY WAS RELATIVELY SECURE, BUT THAT WILL CHANGE. OUR SONS WERE DOING VERY WELL IN SCHOOL AND WERE BY ALL ACCOUNTS, HAPPY AND WELL ADJUSTED.
MY SOON-TO-BE-EX-WIFE REFUSED ANY MARITAL COUNSELING, IGNORING THE THREE OF US AND INSISTING THAT SHE WAS DOING WHAT WAS"BEST FOR US.
AMY, HOW CAN DIVORCE BE BEST FOR OUR FAMILY? IRONIC, REALLY, THAT SHE REFUSED ANY MARRIAGE COUNSELING. NOW SHE HAS THE BOYS AND HERSELF IN COUNSELING, AND I COULD USE IT- DEVASTATED DAD

I observed what Amy said and it seemed like she was telling the Dad to basically give up on the family thing and get on with his life and just be there for the boys and their events. Then she said something like the boys could actually use the counseling and yada-yada-yada.
If this was something that I would say: I would say, dad first of all divorce is something that happen and it is bad but you have to flip the script and try to recoop from it. As far the kids go, I think that you should get with your ex-wife and let her know (no strings attached) that it would be beneficial if both of you guys are in their lives together as they were growing up, but now together. It could be something like a joint visit. I think you guys should work it to where you should be FRIENDS out this whole divorce situation. I do feel like counseling is the answer but make sure you are not going there for a solution to keep you guys together and you are going there to find a way to move forward. Divorce can really affect kids in school so please keep them in counseling. See if you can go to a counseling session with the kids alone one day.

You guys let me know which response is sensible.....

Life's Lyrics Show today....

This is your girl Rydah Gurl, one of the hosts on Life Lyrics under your boy Be Heard. I just got done with the show to day and I have a lot of feelings about what went on.... Well We had Sircherry on the show and it was quite interesting. We talked about insecurities in a man and a woman , also talked about "What is the first thing a man do wrong, when approaching a woman?" I mean there was alot of things said but the one thing that stuck out to me was the fact that communication is almost dead in a relationship. I mean I have been with the same man for 11 going on 12 years and that is all I see us doing is communicating. We tell each other when we feel a certain way and also when something is going on inside that is not quite right. But for men and woman to say it is an issue in their relationship, I feel like that is something that should be worked on first before anything goes any further because if it goes any further then that it will stay that way.

I just wanted to thank Sircherry for spending time with us and enlightening us with presence and I would like to post a link about his book also that is for sale and I will be reading that book! Everyone if you haven't heard anything about the show. Check us out- www.blogtalkradio.com/BE-Heard- on Mondays, Fridays, and Sundays!!!!

Thanks for listening ~Rydah~

LL: Nakia you come from a state where a very talented singer named Fantasia Barrino. Do you feel any pressure when recording to have to fill or exceed her shoes?

Not really because we are 2 different artists and sounds. I saw her performance in Greensboro, NC in The Color Purple Broadway act.

LL: When did you start singing?

I started singing at 8 year old in the church. As I said I was under the gospel background.

LL: The female singers of today are coming from all different aspects are there any female artists out now or back then that influence you and did they help you to decide on your style?

We song the song and it was so intense because at that moment we were singing from issues that happened in our lives and it shows.

Yes I do listen to my old songs and also I listen to the songs out today to make sure that I stay in with the now.

LL: What is it like working on your 1^st CD?

Well it is a lot of work and a lot of time but I have the patience to get it done. You have to have the ear for the music because if it not hot it will show it in your music.

LL: Are you going to do some cover music on this album?

No I have no interest in doing cover music at this moment.

LL: What do you think about the R&B scene today?

I think that it is changing for the good and leaning toward the pop industry and that is something that I like because I like to give a variety to my fans. When you listen to my album I want you to hear every type of genre you are looking for when you are enjoying the sounds.

LL: Tell us about your song “Nice and Slow”.

Well the song Nice and slow is telling the man (because I am single) lets take it slow you know don’t rush into things and lets get to know one another.

LL: What if the person is not receptive to what you have to offer?

Well then, I have to tell him to keep it moving. There is no need to waste his time or my time either.

LP: My PC will not let me branch out and let me do the matix thing in the chatroom but we are here on the horn so ya’ll make sure you all call in and listen to the show because this is very important and what’s happening Carolina Blew –the mixtape will be coming out on Tuesday, September 15^th. You can get it anyways you can. You can pre-order the CD by calling 336-899-0841 If you can’t wait to get. But get it anyway you can. Let’s get it!

BH: I see you call yourself the mayor of the Twin Cities. How did you come up with that?

LP: Basically the twin city is Winston- Salem, NC for the ones that don’t know. Some call it Tre- 4. Originated from the Twin Cities. It was Winston and Salem then they both merged. Back in the day, I don’t actually know what year that was. I call myself the mayor not because I rap but don’t get it confused because there’s a lot of rapper. I call myself the mayor because I AM THE MAYOR, you hear the keys? (jingle, jingle).

BH: Oh! You have the keys to the city huh? You own those keys huh? (laugh)

LP: Yeah I own these keys out here.

BH: Okay, with that in mind, you came up with a lot of nice joints on your mixtape. Tell me a little bit about the “Hello Ladies” track?

LP: That’s one we basically came up with (I want to shout out to my brother PHOKUZ he did the production on that) and he was always making beats. When I hear the beat and I automatically hear the hook on it then ban there go another hit but basically. I put that out there for the ladies show then that theres no discrimination. Im in love with every woman. It was just giving back to the ladies. It is really a good “worker” no matter what age limit it is you can listen to it it has a good vibe. So I give back to the ladies because ya’ll buy those CD. I am always going to keep it real with ya’ll. Shout to all my ladies out there.

BH: With that in mind, I want you to take us into that “Hello Ladies” song.

LP: This is Hello Ladies and any kind of woman you are as long as you are a natural woman. Ya’Dig

(Song playing “Hello Ladies”)

BH: Okay I am back now with Lew Paradise. Lew you there?

LP: What it Dew.

BH: How do you feel the game is going now? You know how they feel that certain things should last for a certain time and after a while it should be over with. You knowhow Jay-Z put out DOA. How do you feel about that should you speak one it or let the man do his hustle?

LP: I will go with option B because I mean when you spend too much time with focusing on someone else how can you get yourself together. Remember the flat top, everybody wanted a flat top. Ok, what happened, people started wearing the flat top. Then the jerry curls and then stop wearing jerry curls. No matter if a rapper rap about being an eraser head. When it is played out, it is just played out on its own. I don’t see anything wrong with the game. Only thing I see wrong is how they holding me back because they know I am going to kill it!

BH: With that in mind you are killing it. What made you come up with Jordan’s on my feet? Tell me a lot about that?

LP: Shout outs to my boy Lil Chris with Jet Music / KBS Pearl E-N-T. You can sit in a room with 1000 producers and they have 1000 beats, if you don’t hear the hook then there is no song. Jordan’s on my feet is just telling the truth. It maybe late and I still have my JORDAN’S on.

BH: Rappin is about what you know. How long have you been rapping?

LP: Officially I have been rapping on CD since 2001. I was recording on cassettes tapes.

BH: Do you think Lew Paradise have matured since 2001?

LP: Man I have learned so much. Yes I have matured, I am not saying I am at my prime or anything. But I have matured since then when I started I was saying stuff. Now I rap about a lot of stuff. I want to shout out to my mother because just the other day she actually called me Lew Paradise.

BH: Speaking of tattoos, How many tattoos does Lew have?

LP:I cant tell you all of them, but I can say that I have one. Everyone have a tattoo song. I had to come with one but on a different level. (Tattoo Song Playing)

BH: Lew would you like to tell the fans how they can get in touch with you?
