WOW...this use to be a hit LOL

VIP SUITE: Ebony Eyez

We all know how the hip-hop industry is a male dominated profession. Sure we’ve had our taste of the MC Lyte’s and Lil Kim’s in the business. We bobbed our head and swayed to their music because they were speaking from a female’s point of view. However, they weren’t from the Midwest so their swing wasn’t from our point of view all the way. The first time I heard In Your Face at the club the ladies in the crowd went nuts. It was just what the ladies in the Lou wanted to hear, her lyrics were hard and in your face. She could rap along side of males and hold her own. Since then she has split ways with Capitol Records and Track Boyz, let the record show that she is the only female rapper out of STL with a nationally released album, and now you can add label owner to her resume she owns Lady Lion Ent. We had to get an interview with Ms. Ebony Eyez who is set to release her new mix tape Nice Girlz Finish Last which is out and ready today.

Suite: we know you are currently residing in Atlanta, but what’s the first thing you do when you get back here.

Ebony: When I touch down in the Lou, I always go to the chinamen first and foremost. Then the studio, and after that family and friends

Suite: Your mix tape is out today so what can a buyer expect to hear different from you this time around?

Ebony: This time I am showing more of my lady lion if you will. Meaning it’s very aggressive, showing that as women we are definitely a force to be reckoned with, and this time around I mean business. First album I was more so just happy for the opportunity to share my music with the world. I was so naive to how the business works. I had people around me that didn’t have my best interest at heart. I had to learn that the hard way.

Suite: Whats your favorite song off the mix tape?

Ebony: It’s the last song Lame. I wrote it for my protégé Teiona. She’s a 12 year old rapper from KC and she is bonkers on the mic. That song resonates with me a lot because she is the future

Suite: If you could work with any other STL artist that you haven’t already, who would it be?

Ebony: I pretty much am open to do music with anybody as long as its good music

Suite: How would you sum up the message that Ebony Eyez is telling the people?

Ebony: I just want people to know that I am music. I live, eat, and breathe music 24/7. I just want to share the world through my eyez, and hopefully people can relate. I want to be the voice of women and what we represent. But more importantly I want to take the necessary steps to become successful and leave my mark

There you have it boys and girls. Ms. Eyez is allowing you a glimpse into her world through her music. Like most entertainers she’s had a taste of the good and the bad in the industry. Now with her being her own boss she can shoot her star as far as she pleases in the galaxy and we wish her nothing but success in the future. Nice Girlz Finish Last is out today so do a hometown sister a favor and grab you a copy or two or three.

DO YOU STILL LOVE HIP HOP?

On Saturday one promoter is calling Saturday "HIP HOPPERS HOLIDAY" When people say Hip Hop is Dead or Hip Hop has changed, do you agree? The Hip Hop that played through the hallways during our high school years (well not really on the loud speakers but through headphones) were PAC, TLC, Lauryn Hill, Dr. Dre, Outkast but some that came before us may have thought the tunes that kept us moving in the mid 90's wasn't REAL HIP HOP. Now Soulja Boy, Gucci Mane, Yo Gotti, and Lil Wayne fill up the iPods of almost everyone under 25.

The music has changed, but has it evolved or did all the talent go away with the 90's?

Is Hip Hop Dead or did you get too old to understand the new language?

Can the folks that listen to Mos Def, Black Spade, Lupe Fiasco, and Vandalyzm love Hip Hop as much as those that rock Webbie, Yo Gotti, Plies and Soulja Boy?

WHAT IS HIP HOP TO YOU?

TOPHER a.k.a. "Birthday King"

I'm going to go ahead and crown Tohpher the Birthday weekend king. This weekend Jones who is one of the brains behind Derrty ENT, will celbrate his Birthday over a 2 day stretch. Now I can't front like Topher's Ego doesn't catch me off gurad each and everytime I hear him speak but while his Ego may be large so are his ideas about business and life so make sure you come out and help him celebrate his birthday. This is one weekend you don't want to miss out on. 

It goes down Saturday for the kickoff hosted by Murphy Lee and ladies are free before 11 so there is no excuse for you budget chicks not to be there. Everybody and they momma will be in the house and you already know Topher brings out the stars groupies Get. Ready. Set. Go!

Busch Stadium is going to see a whole lot of brown in a sea of Red on Sunday because for $40 you can get your Cardinal ticket which will also grant you admittance to the Day Party at Black Label following the game and one free drink. Charlie Chan will be doing what he does best so make sure you get out of church early and join the fun with the grown folks as we party mid afternoon on Sunday in our Cardinals gear. 

SIDE NOTE: Can somebody tell Topher that once this birthday party is over he needs to call up somebody's production team and start filming his reality show because either I've just caught him on a whole lot of funny days or this brotha is really a natural born fool...funny fool that is. 

Party for a Purpose

EXO is having a party but tonight this private event will be for a greater cause. Join the American Diabetes Association as they STEP OUT and Walk to Fight Diabetes.

VICK headed to PHILLY...

...but what the hell we gone do about our Rams

I'm so glad PETA didn't put the fear of the Phildephia Eagles so they could sign Michael Vick to the 2 year deal that he is so deserving of. Ok yeah yeah I know all the blogs are focusing on Vick going to Philly and that's great, but my mind is on the Rams

Before The Rams start having they mistresses and groupies try to jump me in the club I'm not going to say anything bad...well not real bad...well I won't lie. I love the Rams. I've even ordered a new jersey to accommodate these extra pounds I'm carrying but I be damn if I walk around with a jersey on for a team with (ANOTHER) losing season. I'm really not trying to hear my husband talk ish about the Rams during any games we may attend this year. Seriously I'm giving you all a try this year. If it helps I think it might be a good idea to find Marshall Faulk and maybe even the 12 Heavy Team from Herbert Hoover. Get somebody on that field to help us out. Cause if we don't win at least 3 games before Oct. 1st I'm going to find Issac Bruce, Dre Bly, and dust off Tony Banks and bring them right on down to the dome and throw them on the field. 

I do have faith in The Rams but tell me, am I alone and and crazy in thinking that we can really win more than 5 games this year?
