What's up Fam???
S.A.Q. 192
It's SuperBowl Weekend and amazingly enough a New York team is involved. Congratulations to the NY Giants for ending the cultural drought that has plagued this city for way too long!!! Anyways yesterday was one the CRAZIEST days I've had in a minute. Thursday Kimmy O (Kim Osario) called me and asked could I come freestyle for a new show BET is shooting called "Boom Bap". Even though I was coming down with a cold I can't squander an opportunity to be on TV at this point. So I agreed but knew I would have to stay in the city because I had a meeting with some of the execs at BET later on in the day regarding the "Feel This Way" video. Then Guy Routte who helped A&R my LP called regarding the same show because he's now consulting at BET.
To make a long story short they set up a car service to pick me and said I would need to shoot at noon. So I'm thinking the car isn't coming till about 11am.Man the car company calls me 8:30am. Alright I told y'all I felt sick so I was real LAZY getting out of bed. By the time I got going it was 10 something. I go to the door to let the driver know I'm coming and he tells me,"Take your time". Then I call my girl Jarita Briges @ Fila to see I could grab something to wear. She told me to stop by and she'd hook me up. So I take a shower and get dressed and this MF is GONE!!! I see I got 4 Missed Calls. I call Guy and tell him I'll just drive as long as they pay for my parking (So much for the Star Treatment). So I rush out the house and when I get to the Midtown Tunnel to pay the toll I realize I left my wallet (In EL Segundo LOL) in the crib. I tell the lady and she makes me pull over. Fortunately I had a bag of change in the trunk. I had to count out $4.50 in dimes & nickels for the fat motherfucker who threatened to arrest me for DRIVING without a license. They let me go and I was on my way to Fila. But then Guy is calling saying everybody's waiting on me. I had to make a decision. Either go to Fila and risk missing the taping or go straight to BET. I went straight to the station and Guy was waiting so he could park my car for me.
I get up stairs and see a few of the Production people I've met from the times I've been on "Rap City". Then I see Sean Price,Dru-Ha and Prodigy. We start kickin' it and I show Prodigy the video for "Q.U.E. Another E.N.S." (which he happened to co-star in) and he liked it alot. From there they called us over to hit the stage. They had Prodigy,Sean P. and myself rhyme with a live band that played a variation of "C.R.E.A.M." and "Duffle Bag Boy". They introduced Prodigy as "The Living Legend", Me as "The Legacy" and Sean P. as "The Duck Down Solider". We did 2 taping and the shit was DOPE!!! Here are a few pics from the taping. Enjoy the game and I'll holla at y'all in a minute.
