I talked to Jalylah and of course she knows someone who knows Jordan Carlos. I guess the fail safe white girl tips were gathered through more field research than I thought. Ah, c'est la vie . . .
I've been listening to Jean Grae all day today. She spits fire! I think I have to put up my mc mic before I even rock it because I can't disrespect the art. The only reason I wanted to be an mc was to change the game but Jean and Apani B are already doing that. They just need to get signed. I'm just a little interloper who would better serve them by buying all their tracks. Unfortunately, this is proving to be a lot more difficult being that I live in the south where we pretty much only get mainstream east coast stuff. Can someone help me?
The other thing about Jean is that I saw her live one night when I went to New York for the yari yari conference. It was weird b/c bettina was with me at first and there was even another black girl there, kinda artsy girl, kinda reminded me of Jade, the acting major theo made out with resulting in a split with Justine on the Cosby Show. Anyhoo, DJ Kuttin Kandi is hosting, and I felt a little weird about that b/c I interviewed her the semester before about being a female dj and then my teacher canceled the project that the interview was supposed to be a part of. I felt really bad about that and was unsure of how to tell her it wasn't going to happen. So anyway kuttin kandi asks for people to come to the front so we are close to the stage b/c the place is so not packed so the 3 of us move closer and all the men hang back. As the night wears on, the artsy girl bounces and so does bettina. So it's me, a lonley black girl in a see of mostly black men with a couple of white dudes too. then some asian and white girls come and they don't stay.
Finally jean comes out and I'm right up against the stage. I didn't know any of her songs so i'm just doing a slight head nod and i must have looked real weird or serious or something. I think I freaked her out a little bit, I mean a random black girl at a show? but I love you Jean, I was just new to the scene, didn't know how to act, you know what i mean? (a little rhyme for ya)
So DaBrat on the surreal life? well that should be interesting . . .
