REKS "Get's Crushed!"

As I scanned the web in search of my next “crush”, I found that I didn’t have to go too far than my last “crush”. I found REKS, chillin’; counting gray hairs in his beard. My first thought was; I got to get this dude some “Just for Men” but I decided not to. Instead I decided to go hit that page player and take note of the heat I was feeling. The fire that exudes from fresh tracks like “Dear Winter”, Money on the Ave., “Cloud Nine” and “The Year of the Showoff” a track in which I happen to absolutely love! With statements like, “Damn RIGHT I’m a Fucking ShowOFF!” and “Jugglers fear to juggle my spit, a hustle quick” What!? Are you serious? Lol! How can you not fall victim to the hypnotic beats being produced by, Soul Theory, Statik Selektah and the legendary DJ Premier!? No need to panic, Hip Hop didn’t die in my opinion; it has been where it’s always been “underground”, in the “streets” in the “basements” in the high school cafeterias, dude at work on your lunch break and now apparently near Fenway Park! Ha-ha! So loyal “crushers” keep ya eyes on REKS and ya ears on his music as he “Get’s Crushed!”


REKS shop! What it look like baby boy? First things first, thank you for allowing me to have a “Crush” on you. Now tell me how’d you hook up with Funk Town Connection, can you still pop and lock? What about beat box?
The Connection was mostly family members and cats from around my way so we all just gelled to our love for Hip-Hop music. I aint that young anymore so I dare not even try, might pop and lock something out of place ya dig. I can beat box, terribly!

LOL, yea, just stick to rocking the MIC I would hate to have you “wreck” your back doing the dolphin’. So what does it look like back home, are you a family man?
Si, married with a son. His name is Isiah. The best day of my life was the day he was born. Now he’s five and his goal is to drive me crazy.

(wipe tear) That…is so sweet! I bet you’re a good daddy too, can you cook?
Yes, I am a family man and a beast in the kitchen, I really enjoy cheffing it up.

You’re a “beast”? Son, instant oatmeal doesn’t count! I’m gonna ask the lady of the house, trust me! Let’s get back to your role as father, do you read to your little prince? What's Isiahs favorite book?
Isiah usually reads to me, especially when I’m trying to do something else like watch the Celtics or sleep. He sees it as the perfect time.

That is horrible!! What kind of father are you? You should be ASHAMED of yourself, teaching your child that the Celtics are worth watching! Smh, besides being a bum a$$ BOSTON fan yea, I’m hatin’ what goals do you have for Isiah?
Lol, my goal is for my son to be a good man, who is respectful to others and lives life without regrets.

Go’head daddy! I have so much respect for you man, I can feel the love you have for your family. It must be hard being away from them when you go on tour, huh.
Painful.

Flash back to the earlier days of REKS the man child, what did you dream of becoming? Where did you go to college and what was your major?
I wanted to become a teacher or the president or both. I went to UMASS, Amherst and majored in Alcohol, I’m finishing up as we speak.

You’re finishing up some alcohol or your college degree? Cus your new profile picture looks like you got dumb depressed with the empty Jim B bottle! Let’s say Hip Hop doesn’t want you any more, but you know; you gotta pay the bills. So you grab the morning Bean Town Gazette in search of a J-O, what are you looking for?
Ha-ha! Anything in Human Services...real talk.

Stated! That right there says a lot about your character. Do you know that Human Service careers are among the most rewarding, draining and stressful? I work for a non-profit, in an alternative high school sometimes I want to kill the system, other times I love what I do. That’s cool to know you’re interested in helping people in general and reaching lives through your music.
Music? I hate music....I thought you were interviewing me because of my karate skills…

Shut UP! Lol, (singing) “Everybody was Kung-Fu Fighting”!! Yah!! Son, if you don’t sit yo’ old ass down. Lolzzz! Speaking of which, where are you going to retire?
I’m not retiring? Who told you I was retiring?

That’s what I’m talking about, keep that fire blazed baby. This man is serious about staying in the game ya’ll, most already have “retirement” plans, the house and land. But dude is like nah, I don’t see me putting down the MIC any time soon, and that’s real. I guess it must be the thrill of moving crowds that makes you wanna forever be in the game. With that mentioned, what is the "livest" city you rocked?
Oh yea, New York baby!

(Daps) that’s what I’m talking about, chea! So I’m saying, when you coming back to New York City? Can I get that exclusive VIP treatment?
Always! I’ll be out there real soon.

Ahh yea! I can see it now, my very own chair (um) all I can drink iced water as far as the eye can see (snaps finger) and yes, free slices of lemon; with unlimited use of the ladies room. Ow! Check this out, we’re gonna go back to this whole “thing” about you being a Celtics fan. I’m afraid to ask; are you an all around Boston fan? Man, just rip off the bandage quickly dude!
Lol, yup! All Boston teams baby.

You SUCK! (Pulls out wallet, looks at Derek Jeter’s picture, winks at it)
LOL!!

What types of books do you enjoy reading? When you're NOT watching my boo get in that Sox ass at Fenway Park!
I enjoy reading books about the history of the world, mostly. I am reading a two part book on the life of Adolf Hitler by John Toland. The man and the story are intense and despicable to say the least.

World history eh? I can dig it, besides the choice in sport teams you seem to be pretty bright. Hee-Hee, just teasing’ you, so where is the one place in the world you have to visit?
Besides the bathroom? Lol! I would say Africa.

(gas face) I’m not even gonna touch that one kid, you know I can, I will, but I won’t! Cus I like you! Moving right along with the “Crush!” Lol! What’s going on in your lab?
Yea, I just finished More Grey Hairs and I’m about to release three albums this year with Showoff Records, so I’m staying pretty busy.

Yea, you have a lot going on right now, congrats on the whole Showoff move you conceited bastid! Ha-ha! I can’t wait to buy the albums. Key word people “buy”, get out there and support Hip Hop ya’ll. Are you doing any touring over seas?
Uh-huh, we’re setting up a European tour now and hopefully real some after that the west coast.

Yea, I’ll have my passport ready. Lol, I’m always inviting myself everywhere, fuck that! Ha-ha! I have to ask this next question or Adam is gonna kill me, is there another hosting of a coast2coast mix tape in the future?
Yea! There better be or else! Lol! Big ups to Coast2Coast.

Oh Snap! I didn’t do it REKS, word to me! Lol! Check it; Preem on Cloud9? DUMB! I love dude! *chiky*chiky* (singing)”I’m on cloud nickel-nine, with the mental rhyme would you like to hear, it here it go!” Chea! How was it working with him? That’s so dope!
Yes! Preem is the best; REKS is the worst....great together I hope.

What? You’re too damn modest, cut that shit out. I mean yes Mr. DJ Premier is indeed an engineering genius and yes you are a dope ass emcee so together ya’ll make the illest peanut butter and jelly sandwich, no crust. Lol, I’m weird, as you can tell I like to be different. So tell me where did the alias REKS come from?
REKS: Rhythmatic Eternal King Supreme! I’m a big KRS ONE fan.

Oh that’s real! I like him too; to me he is like my “pops” of Hip Hop. He was always on that “other shit” that “Clean up your room, eat your veggies and read a book, cus its good for your mind!” Lol, and stayed dope! He made you feel like politics was “cool” lol at the age of 12! Are you serious!? That’s my dude! I guess it’s safe to say that he would be one you’d love to collab with, name a few other producers and artists that make the list.
Yea man, I want to work with everyone but above all, Common and Q-Tip.

Umm I bet that can happen, I heard Common is a real cool cat. Matter of fact, you guys would make a dope ass track. He is so fine! I mean….he is lyrically gifted and such (looks around) hee-hee-hee! Back to you! Soul Theory was one of my very first “crushes”, hey boo! He is an incredibly dope dude! I got nothing but love for him, how'd you guys meet?
He used to cut my grass....lol

(ptthhh) LMAO! That’s weak son!! OMG! Silly ass, let’s stay on the topic of fly producers now shall we? Who are your all time favorites?
Lol! Ummm….DJ Premier, Dr. Dre, Pete Rock, Dilla, Q-Tip, and soon to be Statik Selektah.

I need your feed back on this question so that I can have it on record. In the years to come, we will sit again and with that “Crush” I will be bringing up this particular “Crush” in hopes that much as changed at least in your monetary situation. So here is the question…how difficult is it in the industry not to become a victim of the "cross over"? Do you wear tight jeans and tiny hats?
I haven’t crossed over yet, damn....thanks for ruining my day! Lol, I guess it’s damn near impossible. I only wear tiny hats in the shower.

Lollzzz! I’m dead ass if I see in about seven to 10 years that you on some boogee shit, son you and I will fight! My hands are official, licensed kid; I’ll go in for Hip Hop! REKS, don’t let your dopeness go man, if I gotta buy 20 of your albums each time they drop I will. Well maybe not 20 but I will do anything to support your heat, word! Now that the sentimental shit is out of the way, let’s wrap this up! You ready to “Get you some”? Lol!
Lol, I’m ready!

Cool!! Everyone gets a game; your game is…(Spins Wheel of Crushin’)…"Random Shit"

(Some corny ass yet dope 60-ish game show music plays in the background)

The year is 1987 you are......
Eating ramen noodles and drinking cherry Kool-Aid.

The year is 2032 you are......
Listening to my old school cds of Nas and driving my son insane.

Think Looney Toons, who are you and why?
I’m Bugs Bunny, because I usually play center stage.

Oh SNAP! What do you do? You ran out of milk and you just poured your favorite bowl of….
Cinnamon Toast Crunch and I burn the house down! I hate having no milk.

Lmao! Damn homey! Burn down the house all for some milk, some MILK? Anyway, it's your 100th birthday extravaganza, who jumps out of your cake wearing a serious thong?
I wish Gabriel Union was younger, could you ask me again in about 60 years?

Ha-ha Gabby is a cutie (no homo) YO!? Can you imagine if we’re still bangin’ out this Hip Hop shit in 60 years!? Son, I will be 82 years old! I aint asking for shit! Maybe a diaper change or some prune juice! Lollzz! Last question, who is the freshest interviewer? (lmao)
You are hands down!

((Doing the wop :singing:)) Go me! Go me! Go! Go! Go me! Lol! Before I put this joint out, are there any smoke signals you want to send to anyone?
Thanks for the opportunity to get “Crushed” love, big respect and success to u baby.

Ahh Shnitz! Much love right there! REKS in affect! I’m sorry I couldn’t resist, I have been holding that in for the entire interview man! Ha-ha! You have been officially “Crushed by PinkCookiz!” Thanks for chilling with me and much success to you too pa! Peace…Keep Banging baby!

Today’s “Crush” has been brought to you by 10 fingers, three blisters, two chipped nails and a partridge in a pear tree. I damn near thought I would lose it once I learned of his love for Boston sports teams. Ok I’ll admit it, I got a problem with the whole baseball thing. I’m a New York Yankees (Derek Jeter) fanatic; by birth rights and blood (Staten Island/the Bronx) I “have” to hate everything that comes out of Boston with an exception of Baked Beans and now, REKS. All I can say, dude is spitting real heat and his down right five cents can’t be ignored on every track. Each catchy chorus will indeed ring in your head and don’t be surprised if you find yourself hitting rewind so that you’re not bugging; did he really say that? Word bond, I’m such a fan of metaphors its sick, no wonder I love REKS’ feverish style. And let me fin’ out he can sing too! I’ve said it before and I will say it again, you don’t have to take my glossed lips for it. Check out his spot for yourself. Once his music starts to blare from your computer speakers; I dear you to keep your big ass head from bobbin. Go ahead…I dear ya

CRaZy DJ BazaRRo "Gets CRUSHED!"

Brooklyn has a lot to offer, we’ve read it before, we have all heard it before and if you are lucky you will experience the many talents and cool shit that makes Brooklyn what it is. I met with a dude that claims to be the Craziest DJ of them all in the Park Slope area of Brooklyn, NY at Brownstone Billiards. The deal was we swap skills on the pool table and see who is crowned champion; the winner is bestowed with a box of their favorite cereal! Ha-ha! The stakes were high, Cap N’ Crunch Berries were on the line, I was exhausted from an earlier “Crush” and working my nine to five. I was sweating, hungry, mouth a bit parched and a little nervous. Here I am with Chaundon of the "Just Us League" and the "crush" of the hour, Jean Grae’s DJ and the Dysfunkshunal Familees producer trying to mark my territory on the green. In his own right this man is an underground Hip Hop prodigy. I gotta get my shit together, chalk up my stick, crack my knuckles, cue up the ball and let’s go! World Wide Webbers please peep as I “Crush” the extremely talented and don’t forget “Crazy” DJ Bazarro…..

Drinks are ordered, I order my usual, water, chilled, no ice. Heinekens, Coronas, water and a big ass cheese burger fill the table. He breaks…nothing drops, I’m up and I have a choice of many. The table looks like someone spilt their bag of skittles so I take a shot, I miss. I’m easily distracted by Teddy Pendergrass’ “Come Go with Me” blearing in the background, as it reminds me of a certain someone. He’s up, he makes several shots and damn; he’s pretty good. But big girls don’t play when there’s food on the line this may be the end of my breakfast dreams…or is it?

Ok DJ, let me jump in here what makes you so damn “crazy” you seem pretty serene to me.
Well I got my name from being a little different. I was that dude that stood up to the Decepticons back in the days by myself. Shit, ya know? When the crowd went that way, I went “that” way. That’s what made me so “bizarre” I did shit that made sense when other dudes was doing that dumb shit.

I’m saying. I feel you. Fuck standing around waiting for some shit to pop off witcha nosey ass and to hell with going to the trouble! I mean to make it all short you were a chicken. How was it in high school? Raised in Bushwick!
LOL. I went to Bushwick High School; a lot of talent came out of there. I was classmates with Evil Dee. Me and Dee used to have beef with our mix tapes. We did mix tapes before they were called mix tapes; we battled for the ladies attention. Lol

"My favorite from Jay Dilla would be Players by Slum Village. I just be like how the hell he flip the beat like that? What is he thinking; he was real crazy with it. He changed my life."

Awww what a gentleman! You are quite the ladies man. By the way, being the DJ of Miss. Jean has to be incredibly fly man. Yo!? I hit her “MySpace” so hard son, I bet she either thinks I’m a straight stalker or a lesbian. (gas face) I just think she is outrageous! She kind of scares me in a deliciously evil way. Did you secretly slide my business card into her back pocket like I asked you to? Tee-Hee!
We were at Fat Beats the other day for the re-release of her Jeanius album. She didn't have any back pockets. Lol, Next time we play Scattergories I'm going to tell Jean to invite u over.

((pumps fist)) Yes! Scattergories is my shit! I promise you son, I be like taking it back “Rosie Perez” on that ass “Foods that start with the letter Q”! Ha-Ha! YO! You remember that shit? She was talking about Jeopardy but it’s similar in the category. But nah, I bust that game out with the students at my J-O. It’s mad fun. Still no signs of being crazy! Perhaps I have to bring it out of you. Give me your craziest memory.
The craziest thing actually was with Jean Grae. We were on tour with MF Doom in Spain and at four, five something in the morning we decided we wanted to get something to eat. So we went looking for a restaurant and man we fucking got lost. Lost in the middle of nowhere in Spain, well you know how it is in Spain…

Nah-nah pimpin‘ ((laughing)) I don’t know! I don’t know how it is in Spain!
Well I was talking to Chaundon anyway…

Oh SNAP! I can’t go to Spain!? Mr. Big shot DJ?!
LOL!
I’ve never been to Spain dog; I’m just coming from The Bronx.

LOL! Well everything is just crazy over there and getting lost makes it crazier. You know when you’re really lost you get that look like damn I’m REALLY lost! Yo!? You not lost in the hood, this is a different country and a different kind of lost. Nobodies up, you can’t call anyone for help. Lol, so we just started walking and we ended up finding the hotel. We were lucky, five in the morning looking for a sandwich in Spain. Lost in Spain!

Son, that’s some crazy grits and dangerous, ya’ll could have been kidnapped! You know people over seas love Hip Hop! I can hear the culprits now, “There’s Jean Grae and the DJ grab them!” Straight holding ya’ll hostage in Spain!
LOL!

Crazy DJ Bazarro has three balls left on the table to my six and it’s his shot. The game seems to belong to him, my hopes of crunch Berry bliss are slowly fading. He aims, he misses, yes! Finally this could be my chance to sink some shots.

Crazy I refuse to get “Crushed” on my own shit! You’re not winning this game. Joe Scudda got away with it, but I vowed not to let it happen again! As I take these shots, tell me about some current projects you’re working on and who are you working with.
Right now I'm still working on the Dysfunkshunal Familee album. I look forward in working with my boy Travis Williams again. Some new groups I’m working with like Double Maine and World Famous Rod from Bushwick, look out for that. The Krazy Mixtape is still selling, go get that. I'm preparing for some upcoming parties with Evil Dee; we’ll be in North Carolina, Charlotte and Fayetteville, Dec. 26th and 27th. We’re gonna be in Philly at Club Fluid for New Years Eve. Ninth Wonder has a new radio show coming soon; we’ll be down there for that, shout outs to 9th crew Tru Skool. In January I'm trying to get Jean Grae out to Brazil, she has a big fan base there. Oh yea, right after New Years, I’ll be in Syracuse, Jan 2.

Ok man you seem pretty busy. I dig Travis his vibe is so soulful, he is without doubt “Crushable!” Now, Dysfunkshunal Familee, I took it upon myself to be extremely nosey and pay a few members of the tribe a visit on “MySpace“. Amayss is also on my “Crush” radar, truth! I can tell from the company you keep that you are “Early 90’s NYC Hip Hop” The music that is missed so dearly today, at least by me. Crazy, just lay it out on the pool table man, what do you think is going on with Hip Hop right now?
Man yo, it’s all fucked up. If you do drop an album, it might last about two weeks because there is too much shit out. You don’t appreciate music like you used to. It’s too easy to hit download and just sit on it, back in the day man you really focused on the music because it wasn’t easy to get. You went out and brought the tape and listened to it. It’s just way to easy for Hip Hop but it aint easy for Country or Pop music, plain and simple we don’t support each other enough. The game definitely isn’t being played fair. 95% of the radio is the same wack ass bullshit while the other 5% is dope dudes but their airtime is at 2 or 3 am in the morning. That shit aint fair, the people that think the music is dope and that buy the albums are all asleep.

That is so true, where is the positive promotion? ((RIGHT here Get you some ya’ll Get CRUSHED!)) In my opinion, underground players will always be the dopest emcees to me and real talk it never fails, once they get a signed deal man they do a cross over and well it’s a cycle really. At first you were this incredibly fly chief rocker and now you got ya head swollen with industry bullshit and you’ve lost your flare. Now you just cater to a different audience, you do whatever to blend in with mainstream music to stay on top and keep your bills paid. OK I aint mad, I guess that’s how you have to do it. I wanna say with an exception to Jay.
Now Jay, he can sell out The Garden in a heart beat but The Roots can’t and why not? This is just how fucked up people got the game man, the same chicks that holla stop calling us bitches and hoes is out there buying those albums, going to the concerts, buying any and everything from that rapper. The cats that do respect woman, that are on some positive shit don’t get any shine, I guess they aint cool enough.

Wait a minute hold on what about Will Smith? Lol, I love ya Willy….”Get you some, Get Crushed!”
Aww man come on Will Smith is a different story man.
Will Smith don’t count he is the Obama of Hip Hop!

LOL!!
WILL SMITH! The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, I’m telling you that brother saves the world every summer! He is the greatest.
The greatest! Bush should’ve put that fool in Iraq! Will can defeat an entire clan of aliens in a few hours, he could find Bin Laden, I bet you!

Lolzzzzzz!!! Omg, ok, ok stop!!

It’s my turn to shoot, I refuse to lose! Chaundon reminds me in a comical commentators voice that I have six different shots because there are six ball on the table all belonging to me. Screw you! There’s too much at stake, cereal, pride and bragging rights. I circle the table and cue up.

You got your hopes up low Miss Pink!
Bite me!

I shoot, I miss. Six of my balls remain to his four. The pressure is on….

I’m curious about the equipment you use in your lab. Even though I don’t know shit about production and the tools of the trade, I enjoy learning about it all. So tell me what you got going on.
I use the ASRX Pro Drum Machine and the Akai 22 Track board. I've made records straight out of the house with just a little bit of equipment. Right now I'm learning the program Reason thanks to my man AG from Oakland

Yes, just as I suspected. I don’t know what the freeze you’re talking about, but it sounds absolutely interesting. Lets ask a question that is more my speed ha-ha! Where is your favorite place to get vinyl?
My favorite places are a couple of spots out in Philly, me and the Beatminerz go there at least twice a year. I also go to Malachi Records in NYC downtown Manhattan. I've already got a couple of dope samples from there for the next Dysfunkshunal Familee album.

Oh yea? You should let me play “faucet” when you get done! Yo!? Please tell me where your Crazy ass got that "woodie" call from? Lol, I don’t even know what to call it but its wild. I crack the fuck up every time I hear you do it! Son! When you come back for a second “Crush” we’ll have to get it on MP3 so we can let the world hear that shit! But for now you have to log on to esp51.com every Sunday and hear it for yaself. Lol! “woodie-woodie-woodie-woodie-woodie-woodie” lol!
Lol! I use to do be down with this crew back in Bushwick called "The More Trouble Crew" we use to do that call just to bug out or instead of ringing somebody doorbell we would yell the woodie call. Lmao!

Ok When I was younger in The Bronx, we used to yell out “A-Yo“, or “Su-Wee“! We were dumb. Lol! I stopped doing that shit once I found out it was all gang related, lawd, smh, I‘m too scuury! You know I’m going to ask you, I need to know who your favorite producers are.
Wow that's hard! I would say Dr. Dre, his mixes are sick. Jay Dilla, one of a kind. And I gotta say Premier. My favorite Dr. Dre track would be “Nutin But A G Thang“, the way he took the sample and raised the levels on it made the mix so crisp. It’s a simple song but a great record. My favorite from Jay Dilla would be Players by Slum Village. I just be like how the hell he flip the beat like that? What is he thinking; he was real crazy with it. He changed my life. And Premo can make a hit record out of a one second sample, check 10 crack commandments! Living Proof, he's incredible.

It all comes down to this final shot. Crazy DJ Bazarro has cleared the table easily as I leave 3 balls on the table and all he must do to win is call pocket and sink the 8. He aims, I bite my finger nails, Chaundon is talking shit trying to intimidate me. The 8 ball sinks…and so does the cue ball! Yes!! ((pumps fist))Crazy DJ “Scratch” has been “Crushed” on the pool table!
What an amazing turn of events ladies and gentleman! "Get Crushed!"

Baz, yo!? How unbelievably dope was the tour man, Red and Meth! Who else was in the building, what was the fliest moment and the livest city? Man, drop the details dude!
Tour was crazy, they’re still touring! I only flew out for two dates. My boy Dollamentary told me to come out, bring beats and network, so I did. He rolls with Redman's camp, Gillahouse and Q-tip was there too. Termanology and his crew open up. Alchemist was there with Evidence of Dilated Peoples. Some new members of Wu-tang shout outs to Allah Mathematics and DJ Dice. Just seeing my boy Dollamentary holding it down with Redman, they tore down the house they have a great stage show and plus they’re crazy! The livest city? I would say Santa Cruz, the people were ready to rock and they rocked all night! I still can't believe Redman jump off of a balcony and into the crowd! lol

Oh Snap! Ha-ha! You were prolly eggin’ him on with your crazy “woodie” calls!! Lmao!! But on a more serious stalker-ish note ((whispers)) did you bring me back the half eaten sandwich from Method Man that I asked for?
LOL! I did, it got spoiled, word mad mold. Mold is dangerous so I threw it away! Sorry.
((skins teeth)) Whateva son! Bazarro let’s wrap it up shall we, I ALWAYS do by playing a game. Let’s play “Remix it!” a combination of all the games. Here we go…

Do you sleep with your socks on?
I sleep with my shoes on cause in the hood you always gotta be prepared to run from something. lol

LMAO!! You wake to find you are the star of an action movie you are…
Jack Savage, I have to track down the kidnapped Halle Berry. I save her and at the end of the movie we get busy. What's your next adventure? My next venture is to paint the sky. It’s a big project because the sky is big; I have to find a team that's down to do it. I’m just looking for the ladders right now that can reach the sky.

((rolls eyes)) Oh brotha!! Jack Black or Black Jack?
Black Jack, girls love it when u gamble and win!

And if the “ladies” saw how I blazed that ass tonight you would be going home to a cold bed! Lollzzzz! Damn YO!! Jay-Z is calling again for like the sixth time today! You can't keep ignoring his calls so you answer and he says:
I need one of them Crazy beats Bazarro for a project called Jay Z & Bazarro in The Best Hip Hop album ever! Nobody does it like you Bazarro and I would be honored if you would do this album with me. You’re my idol.

Oh snap!! Lmao you fool!! Ok, last question. Pool or Basketball? ((ha-ha-ha-ha!!))
Basketball! The big courts not that little game you destroyed me in.

"95% of the radio is the same wack ass bullshit while the other 5% is dope dudes but their airtime is at 2 or 3 am in the morning. That shit aint fair, the people that think the music is dope and that buy the albums are all asleep."

Aye! Dude, where's my "Box Called Cereal" son!?
I can't find it nowhere. It seems like they banned no frills cereal. Lmao! I'm a check Pathmark though; they have to have it there.

Sucka! Baz, don’t get me that nasty booty ass King Vitamin or Kaboom! Cereal neeva! ((shudders)) Lol! Yo, before I put this joint out, are there any smoke signals you want to send to anyone?
Yea, I want to thank you for crushing me! Shout outs to the Dysfunkshunal Familee, Travis Williams, Larry Thomas, Beatminerz, Dj Skinny, ESP51.com, Double Maine, Souls of Mischief, Redman and Method Man, Dollamentary, GillaHouse, Bamboo, RJ. Yo! Jean Grae.

Much love right there! “woodie-woodie-woodie-woodie-woodie-woodie” Ha-ha! You have been officially “Crushed by PinkCookiz!” Crazy DJ Bazarro, thanks for chilling with me, and getting your ass kicked in hoops and on the pool table, we will rematch soon, on a real court! You were an incredible crush! I gotta go light up.

"DJ Premier is the greatest. If you don't know about Gang Starr, then you don't know hip hop!"

I don’t know how the winds of “Hip-Hop” keep carrying me towards the south and how I keep bumping into the same dudes that seem to be making ‘nuff noise in the quiet suburban skirts of Athens, Georgia. I have created a name for them I’d like to call them “The Athens Crew”, so when you hear or read that please be advised I’m speaking of three ill ass producers and two wickedly dope emcees. Pee Duble, 20, Trav Will, Skidmatik and Keenan. Yes it’s going down, down south, collectively Broward County, FL. Athens, GA. Raleigh, NC and Lauderdale UP! Mr. Duble expresses to me his stance on Hip Hop, his personal rap and what he hopes to accomplish using his lyrical blaze. Come with me and grab a seat, on that midnight train to Georgia.

Hey now, hey now, hey now HEY! Ha-ha, what it look like Pee? First things first, tell me why it is that every time I hear one name I hear many, how’d you hook up with Trav, 20, Keenan and Skid?
Well, Trav has been my homey since I was in High School. He used to come over to my house (mom's house) and spit rhymes all the time. I actually have a cassette with him rhyming over some instrumentals. He’s been my boy for quite some time now, everyone else just kind of fell into place from being cool with Trav.

Ok I can dig it, it was like Voltron right, “And I’ll form the head!” lolzzz (It had to be a “man” that came up with that line!) ya’ll all just came together and produced this force to be reckoned with two badass white boys, three badass black boys! Ha-ha! I guess it’s pretty cool the way it all worked itself out, what was your primary attraction to Hip Hop?
Initially production attracted me to hip-hop. I could never play the drums or any other instrument but I always wanted to produce, so I did what every other untalented producer does and bootlegged fruity loops! lol I produced my entire first CD with that program and kind of developed a signature sound with it. But then I found out how much I loved to rhyme and I started getting better with practice. I’m now on pace to be the greatest! Ha-ha

The greatest huh? Well, only time will tell and yea you put it down on a few tracks I’ve heard, not bad not bad at all. So you produce a lil something and you’re a self proclaimed resident MD (Microphone Doctor) now tell me do you break-dance? Can you pop and lock? Ha-ha! What about beat boxing? Give me the run down on the Hip Hop in you.
NO!! I am the “two-step” king! Beat box, definitely not me. Lol

I ‘aint mad at you but even my six year old knows how to pop, you know that move when you circle your finger real fast around your ear and “snap” your arm out? Yea that’s her shit! Ha-ha! Let’s dig a little into your back pocket shall we and this is for my lady readers. Are you married, gotta girlfriend?
Nope.

Umm ok! (giggle) do you have any children?
One Beautiful queen!

Aww! How precious, are you a family man? Please tell me you can cook at least, if nothing else. What's your favorite book to read to your baby girl? Aww this is sweet, what goals do you have for her daddy and is it difficult being away from your family?
I can be a family man. Cooking? I get's down in the kitchen, especially breakfast! IHOP, Waffle House and the other place named after a guy need to watch out! My omelets are definitely the business! My daughters favorite book…she loves "That Toad Is Mine!" (Smile) The number one goal is to keep her off the pole! Ha-ha! Then she just has to be the most successful person she can be. And yea, sometimes it’s hard being away from her.

I’m saying she can be a very tasteful exotic dancer, not a stripper, there is a difference. (gas face) So anyway you’re walking down the mean streets of BC. You got your diddy bop, too cool dark shades on and I mean can’t nobody step to your flow cus you’re fresh and so clean, clean. What is the song playing in the background as you “float” by?
I got too many songs, but one I can never get tired of is "Shook Ones" by Mobb Deep.

I love me some Mobb Deep!What up Havoc (wink) holla at ya girl! You have a kid so this next question has to to be an important one, what’s your take on higher education, did you get you some? What was your major?
Yup! Broward College!! Where everyone gets accepted! Lol, My major was Physical Education, then Paramedic and now Radiology. (sigh) I'll finish someday.

Ha-ha, if that’s truth, pass an application this way! I mean you’re all over the place but you didn’t give up and you kinda stayed in the “field”, good for you! But let’s just say hypothetically Hip Hop “dumps” you, now what? What does the Duble do!!?
I become a boxer/UFC Fighter! Lol, ask Trav about me knocking bitches out in shopping malls!

(gas face) Ok “Anderson Silva”, I’m talking “real” life not the little video games you be playing with your homies drinking forty’s and shit in ya mom’s basement! By the way do you play video games and what?
Does a Zebra have stripes? PS3 baby! Oh yea, The Metal Gear Solid series is me all day. "Damn that sounds nerdy!" lol who wan’ come test?

Umm excuse me but I will be asking the questions spank you very much! I’m a fan of Max Payne, Goldeneye 007 you remember that shit! I am the queen of Tetris, YO! I’ll get in anybody ass! And yes you are a damn nerd, so as I trifle through your “Star Trek” collection will I see any Sports games? Do you play; are you any damn good who are your teams?
Yea man, Basketball is my thing. I played a lil JV in high school ‘til I had to get a job. But nowadays, I play once or twice a week. Lol, I gave Allen Iverson his nickname!! Orlando is my basketball team; as far as football goes I just watch the good teams.

GREAT!! So I guess it’s safe to say you’re keeping a sharp eye on The Giants! Boo-YA!! Can I get “Re-Peat!?” Ha-ha-ha grrrrrrrrr ha-ha-ha!! Please “Iverson” is my BOO! You play what, point guard with your short self? Ha-ha I’m playing, I played PG in school I take it in and I work the back board! Ok, ok tell us about some projects you got going on and who are your guests?
Lol, currently I’m working on a lot of anonymous songs that I plan to put into one cohesive effort to make people realize that a lot of their favorite rappers suck and I need to save them from the wackness! LOL Man, I’ll work with anyone who is talented and is willing to work hard. And you know the usual suspects. Trav!! 20!! Keenan!! Skid!!

Yes, 20, Trav and Skid are all incredible artist. I’m blessed to come to know 20 before he “blows” ha-ha! Tell me how you came up with “Address Note” from 20’s engineering? Oh yea…lets’ not forget “The Freshness”, that’s pretty dope too!
When 20 sent me the instrumental for Address Note, I sat on it for a while until I read a Lil Wayne article in “XXL” where he said that he's the greatest rapper. That gave me lots of inspiration to say something, especially to a lot of these new cats coming up. The Freshness isn't actually my song, it's Trav's. I heard him on the track and figured I can contribute to the song so I put my lil touch on it, sent it to him and he said it was dope. With The Freshness and a lot of other new stuff that I put down, I just feel the need to erase that feeling that people have about southern rappers.

Amen my brotha cus I HATE some of ya’ll! LOL I mean, I’m a keep it solid like metal; that crunk shit is not what it is to me. I’m straight ‘88-‘96 Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens Hip-Hop! That soulful Hip Hop reminiscent of the Brooklyn bridge Hip Hop. That play a tape ‘till it pops then take it apart and scotch tape it back together Hip-Hop! When I heard “The Athens Crew” (you, 20, Trav, Keenan and Skid) I fell in love, you guys took that sour taste I had for southern “rappers” away. Ya’ll are Hip Hop, not just “rappers”. With all that said what was the livest city you rocked out? And when you gonna come rock out Brooklyn?
Athens Ga. was the livest! I love "The Classic". Yea I’ll come to Brooklyn, whenever you say "I got you on the ticket, hotel, food and entertainment!" I'd love to come to NYC and do something; me and Trav are trying to figure that out now. You know you ‘ain't gotta ask about VIP, I got you!

Oh, an automatic VIP pass? Say word! We dig what you do now tell us who you dig, who would you share your microphone with and which producers would you work with?
I really want to work with Redman and Busta Rhymes, that's about it. There are some other cats that are dope but they are two of my favorites. For producers, DJ Premier is the greatest. If you don't know about Gang Starr, then you don't know hip hop! "Take It Personal" and anything off of "Hard to Earn" is classic material. See, Redman is my favorite emcee of all time. Luda and Eminem know where they got their style from. "Funk Docta Spock”, the Pon Cock lyricist/ my mentality's so def, yo I ‘ain't even hearing this shit!!"

Yea man Redman is so real and still so “him” ya know? Like he is one of the few emcees/DJs that remain the same as far as this “Hollywood” shit goes. I dig his humor in his rhymes, he is a damn fool! So tell me, do you think its hard staying away from “The Cross Over” in the industry, especially today?
I don't think it's hard at all. Rappers nowadays are afraid to be themselves and that's the problem. As long as you stay true to yourself you got nothing to worry bout.

But it must be some kind of “something” I mean if I told you, you could be on right now but you gotta wear tight jeans and colorful kicks and rhyme like Barney Rubble? (gas face) Son, do you wanna be signed? How baaaaad do you want it!? WHAT would you do for a Klondike bar?
Let me first say this, GOLD is the new platinum!! lol You can build a fan base with myspace alone nowadays. You just gotta have drive. Sometimes a say fuck a deal, just give me some distribution. I kind of do wanna be signed, but honestly, if I can make $60,000 per year being an emcee? I'll be very happy with that.

(sigh) $60,000, I feel you baby, that’s how I feel on some real shit. If I could make just $45,000 I’d quit my J-O and “Crush” all damn day! What's your take on the whole movement underground vs. mainstream music?
A lot of both artists are garbage! When I listen, I listen for realness. A lot of cats today ain't real and that's sad. But the underground is definitely making the best music right now. I'm diggin Charles Hamilton and Asher Roth with that "I love college" joint. Joe Budden and Royce are definitely doing their thing too. As far as major cats, Lupe is dope but almost everybody else I fucks with has at least three albums out.

"Broward County Stand Up"

Lupe’s sexC ass is on my radar to get "Crushed". He’s incredible! Let’s fast forward a bit shall we? The year is 2032 you are….
The year is 2032 and I have accomplished every goal that I set for myself and I just wanna relax on some acres and go hunting!! Wuddup Sara Palin!!

LAWD a mercy! (giggle) Ok “POP” it’s time “To Get Crushed”. Your game is “This or That”, it’s time for dinner you grab the plate your moms left you in the microwave or a package of Ramen Noodles?
Definitely the Noodles!! Chicken flavor!! lol

Oh kaaaaaay, the meal of a true bachelor! This means he has his own place ladies!! Ha-ha! Ok you bump your head and now you think you’re a cartoon character. You are Spongebob or Stewie? Why?
Stewie!! Cuz he's just too real.

I fucking love Stewie, “Victory is mine!” lol, aww man this is sweet! It's Grammy night who calls you to be their opening act, Common or Kanye? Why?
Common, because he's a humble dude and never forgot where he came from. You saw him getting his b-boy on at the Hip Hop Honors!!

Yea, truth Common is too real; I’m trying to “Crush” him too. Do you think he’d be with it? Ummm, it’s time for a Hip-Hop lobotomy, who is the dude behind the mask, Doogie Howser or Doug E. Fresh?
LOL, this must be a trick question, cuz neither of them could do it lol, Doogie ‘ain't "that" smart!!

Ha-ha-ha!! I love this shiiit I swear to you man I really, really do!LMAO, before I put this joint out, are there any smoke signals you want to send to anyone!?
Shouts to Trav Williams, 20 keys, Keenan, Skidmatik, my brother GUNZ doing them 4 letters up in FSP!! Anybody who ever supported me and all my future supporters, myself and definitely you PinkCookiz!

Yes, yes baby. You have been officially “Crushed by PinkCookiz!?” Mr. Double “p” for POP, ha-ha you gotta come back and get some more “cookiz” when you get that “Klondike bar”! Nicely done!! And that’s Athens Georgia BABY!!!! Keep it Bangin’!

Say it twice; PoP, Double P, Pee Duble that is. Dude is making local noise from an unexpected place, well for me at least. (sigh) yes the south, uggh I must confess I’m intrigued and impressed by so much heat bubblin’ down under and underground that I sleep on. Pee Dubles voice at first didn’t have my attention then I heard something that perked my ears and made me listen. Was it the production that complimented him and gave him a pass to dwell on my bridge? I think so. Go ‘head dude, do you! What ever the Athens crew is doing, please don’t stop cus you’re doing something right. With bangers like “Address Note” addressing your favorite rappers and “The Freshness” currently blasting on the “space”, Pee Duble has quickly become one of my favorite undergound artist, I'm sure he'll do the same for you. Man look, I can go on and on you don’t have to take my gloss lips for it baby, go check out "Pee Duble"and get involved.
