Wesley Snipes gets 3 years

Posted in News on April 25, 2008 by theare

See , this is straight up bullshit. It’s a perfect example of the judge making an example. 3 years is the maximum and thats what the judge gave him. In a world where you have hard criminals serving petty time and probation, not to mention sex offenders walking the streets. Could’nt the judge just take a few things of value to pay off the taxes and issue probation?? I’m saying…

Classic

Where were you when this album came out? Seriously, this album was rediculous and it changed the thought process for alot of people. I remember when he came out with his second album and his first single a had singing on the hook. We were very upset that he flipped on us. We felt betrayed. See back at that time if you were “real hip hop” you did’nt want any singing on the hooks or any obvious samples being used. We took that shit very serious. As you get older, you start to realize and understand why artist started making radio records and trying to make money. It is’nt fun being broke.

Catchin Wreck in Japan

Posted in random on April 12, 2008 by theare

I was going through some old video footage and found this. I was in Japan with Dj Cash Money several years ago. We were on our way to the hotel and we had a little crash. I guess they could blame me for asking questions even though i was asking Cash, not the driver. lol

In Case your wondering about the Remix mag pic’s. I was’nt in town for the main photo shoot. Therefore I did’nt make the group shot. I told them that they should have did it the old school way and put a white outline of me and a caption at the bottom reading- The ARE(not available for group photo). lol I did get in the individual pic on the 2nd page.

Trackmasters

Posted in production stories on April 5, 2008 by theare

Remix mag just did a full piece on us (Trackmasters). They Talked about the recent Battery studio sessions and the reforming of the production team. When I got the call from Poke in early september it was initially about the lil kim track and what other joints did I have for him to hear for Kim. After a week or 2 of passing beats back n forth, KIm had finally laid the “Chillin Tonight” joint and Poke had decided to bring me up to start what would be the New Trackmasters. I’ll be writing more about the battery studio session and the Trackmaster situation soon. Stories about Busta, Lil Kim, Poke & Tone and more.

Beats!

Here’s a 2 clips of me in the studio. I wanted my man to pull me a stack of records I had never seen before. I just grabbed a record from that stack and started. I also wanted to make it quick. This was done early last year as part of the promo to the “Still Climbing” beat project I released. Enjoy
