Did you know that beatmaker/DJ deluxe Chief Excel often doesn't head out w/ the Quannam crew on tours/gigs overseas and in the States? Why?

Word, I agree. Me and that pimp trade Curb Your Enthusiam DVD's..and at 'Radio' a couple weeks ago, that fool was spinning and I was broke, he let me borrow $20 bucks! I thought he was gonna gimme a drink ticket or some shit! That kid is MAD COOL and sick on the "his and hers". I need a beat from him, and from you too E Da Bossalini!

Thx E!


Peep E Da Boss @ SleptOn.net, respect the real heads reppin for the Yay and beyond and get "The Catalog" (pssst..listen to the hidden track too!).


















And now.....you know I got 5 on it.
Top 5 albums to "knock" in your "scraper" and "go dumb" when your "thizzin" and driving around in this beautiful weather, on the search for "rippers" with your "stunner shades" on.....

1. Keak the Sneak, "Counting Other Peoples Money".
2. 3XKrazy, "Stackin' Chips", peep Keaks intro.
3. Mac Dre, "Mac Dre Presents: The Rompilation". The sheer number of albums from Dre the great can be overwhelming and thus intimidating to those who need to get up on the thizz icon, start with this sick classic.
4. E-40, "Breaking News". One word.....Walllaaahhhh!!!!!
5. Neptunes, "The Clones". Trust me on this one kids....

I'll see you in the traffic pimpin, throw up the playboy bunny when you see me!

Peep me rippin a track with Nate Mezmer and Bucc Rogers on the new Bucc Rogers album, "Music for the 21st Century", and learn how to rap...

Peace!
