Were gonna cut it short here but we have alota more stuff
to report that ya'll gonna really dig.
January 29th 1999
Whats up ya'll, back again.
here's whats poppin! MTV's Real World VS Road Rules stopped
by in Vegas awhile back and did there show at the Hard
Rock/ hotel to compete against each other, they did
performances and imatations of the Jerry Springer Show.
On Sunday December 6th at 8pm Pacific Time, 88 HIP-HOP.COM
netcasted live from the FOX Billboard Bash, the official
1998 Billboard Music Awards Pre-Party at Studio 54 in the
MGM Grand Las Vegas. The event was presented by SPRITE
and there bullshit ads which try to lure Hip Hop fans to
drink sprite. There show featured interviews with Sprite
Voltron artists The Goodie Mob, Mack 10, Jazzy Jay, Common
and the Exclusive Worldwide Premiere of the final chapter
of the SPRITE Voltron commercial series.Ofcourse several of
the artist had to sneak in town due to the fact nobody
likes them but no problams reported here riight?
The Original Player Too $hort is hittin Major Sales here in
the 702 with his 2 new singles and album coming Febuary
22nd, along with the radio giving him play, woah.i was
surprised to. Along with 2pac, his single "Changes" has
shattered airwaves and television screens, his Greatest
Hits Album is flying off Shelves.
Speculation remains if he is alive or dead, well if it was
based on half of the therios circulating around i would
say he was dead but the things being reported around here
we'll say he is alive! a local news station said they have
inside reports to back it up. but hey ya'll decide for
yourself and only time will give us the answer.
we'll leave ya'll with that, stay up.
January 24th 1999
Ha Ha ya'll thought we was gonna leave
ya'll hangin again huh? na we wouldnt do that. Damn news &
updates is flowin in with the quickness so we will be
behind for awhile so forgive us, but still who else brings
it to ya eh?
First up people been buzzin about whats up with Double
Trouble and why havent we seen a release? Well we chatted
with DruDaPimp aka Andrew Romanelli, CEO of Double Trouble.
Here is what he said "Ya'll dont worry bout' DT we gonna
hit you with some strong shit ya'll aint ready or and
recapture the vegas scene and modify it like you havent
seen, we have had numerous setbacks due to the people we
are working with so it still we will be some time before
are next release, i want to thank ya'll for staying TRU and
representing the sound of the Vegas Streets!"
We had a DJ Seminer holded up DJ Times a new magazine
connected to Upstairs Records Located in New York, it was
held at Uta, where every Hip Hop related event seems to be
held. we'll hit you back on how it was later
Also the Source did a Fashion Show awhile back it was
posted in one of their issue's i know ya'll caught it, ju
to let ya'll know thats bullshit. we dont dress like that ,
sheeayt nobody got enough dough to shell out $60 for pants,
$30 for a shirt plus with dem $100 sunglasses/gogels and
hats, down here we take a $15 outfit from the goodwill
store and make it look good. Why spend over a hundred or 2
on some so called "urban gear" when you can buy a nice
italian suit and a dress hat for around the same price and
look 10 times better????? you tell me people i sho dont
dig it man!
One thing which is a problam and dissapointment is how so
many artist have came thru this town, gave shout outs yet
never do a show? which is ridiculouis because there is so
much money that people would love to spend if Master P did
a show here the casino's would try to knock him off because
he would take everyones money (ha ha) fo real ya'll i'm
serious, hopefully we'll get something besides lil fake R&B
bitches like LL Cool J. phoney mutha fucka. anyway they'll
wise up sooner or later, fuck it main beclet the Unground
make the money riiiight?
Untill next time
January 5th 1999
New Year mutha fuckas so new shit is gonna
hit na'mean, damn we back ya'll sorry for the delay.
we got some old updates to hit ya'll right here!
There was a tight ass party in China Town , featured Guest
was Dj Presto One went to work along with alota other tight
DJ's , the crowd was hyped. Rukus Romanelli aka DruDaPimp
was just about to cut it up and bust some raps when the
good ole' boys in blue showed up after a few fights and
shut the party down. but it was koo while it lasted. Rukus
had this to say "We can neva have any party's in this damn
town because fools wanna trip on this gang sheeayt, people
just come to have fun we all represent differnnt sets but
the real dont trip, plus this pigs wanna trip aswell just
because the youth is trying to progress and get together"
Some sad news, Dou DJ Frankie & ROB have broken up, it is
unknown and has been swept under the carpet so we probably
wont know, ROB just disapeered, Frankie still does his
thang though at all the clubs, so the release of Vegas
Flave' 3 will be there last appearance together, unless
double trouble can dig up some mo stashed mixes. who
know's, only time will tell riiight?
2pac's Greatest Hits was released last month, surprisingly
it got alot of airplay,, well the new track "Changes" it
also got play on BET and MTV. thought everyone forgot about
pac. it is making alot of noise on the charts to, run on
over to billboard.com and see where its at.
well thats all we are going to hit you up with for now, we
gots alot more to post so keep a look out main! Pimps keep
Pimpin, Hustlers keep Hustlin'!
