"EASTSIDE, WESTSIDE"-EPIC (AHPTIMUS PRIME and PHENOM)

In no way shape or form...do I play favoritism when it comes to my music choice, or music video taste. Yet I find myself frequently posting West41Side music a lot. I finally figured out why I migrate towards this eclectic crew of artists. I mean...they are all so different, AHPTIMUS PRIME, B-LO, and the legendary...and yes I will mos def apply the word "LEGENDARY" when I speak of PHENOM aka PHEENS, all pull their weight, and seem unstoppable!!! This music video "Eastside, Westside" -EPIC, is so classically shot, there is no special effects to distract you from the feel good lyrics, what you see is what you get! I respect West41Side to the fullest, cuz they have managed to at times eliminate the "middle man", and have formed a solid team, a crew...that makes hits, and super cool videos!!! "Eastside, Westside" is a dope video...and even way cooler...if you are actually from CLEVELAND. I love videos that capture the city of CLEVELAND. PHEENS and AHPTIMUS PRIME have kinda given us a tour ...literally...from the EASTSIDE, to the WESTSIDE...S/o to EDISONS in tremont, *soooooo friggin good...ppsssttt get the parmesan chicken sandwich*, PHEENS and AHPTIMUS PRIME are so friggin chill with everything they do...it makes me wanna put on a sweater or a white v-neck, grab a friend, roll around from east to the west, to a sick flo and dope beat...if you are from CLEVELAND, you will mos def respect this video, and even if you aren't...you will mos def respect the lyrics!!!! XOXO

DJ RYAN WOLF GET'S IT SH8K-IN!!!!!

What exactly is the definition...of...SEXY? I mean "Sexy" can be interpreted as so many things. Some people may think a fat as* or big tits is "sexy". Some people may think that hot sweaty as* shaking is sexy. Yet some people think that strippers are "sexy", while some people may beg to differ and believe that your "regular" everyday girl is "sexy". Point being...there are to many ways to categorize "sexy". If we took the time to pull apart the definition of "sexy", it may take forever. The debate of what is "sexy" and what is not can go on for days. We can compare music videos, movies, models, or magazine eye candy...but what exactly is SEXY? Well...DJ RYAN WOLF, the official Dj for Ray Jr. and LEGIT PAPER has dug deep, and found the answer to an age old question "What is Sexy?". DJ RYAN WOLF has taken his time, and actually studied the art and beauty of phenomenal "sexy" women. Yeah yeah yeah...now we all know dj's have a bad wrap...for pushing game on the ladies, and even times b n "quirky". Yet DJ RYAN WOLF is non of that. Just from his infamous SH8K videos, you can tell that DJ RYAN WOLF has an appreciation for beautiful, and talented women. It's almost as if he climbed a mountain top, and sat there for days on end...staring at the clouds, maybe even praying to the SH8K God's, asking for the answer to the question "what is sexy?". Once DJ RYAN WOLF was anointed with the answer, he climbed back down from the mountain top and blessed us all with his artistic SH8K videos. (*clouds part in the sky, and rays of sun beam down...ahhhhhhhh)

Usually when men and women debate on what is sexy, they can never unite on one answer. Most of the time, insecure women automatically frown up their faces when they see a beautiful girl... dancing, twerking, and having full control over a mans attention. Some women are so insecure that they can't focus on the beauty of another women's body, or artistic movement of her body. Sometimes men...are so sex driven...that they too sometimes are unable to appreciate how beautiful a woman really is. All they see is vulgar hard as* shaking, and their fantasy quickly turns into animalistic sex...instead of sweet sensual fantasies. DJ RYAN WOLF has created a bond between men, women, strippers, working women, and musical artists with his SH8K videos. Once you look at the videos you will understand...that there is mos def beauty in twerking. Not your average "twerk team twerk", but in a classy, mind blowing experience twerk. Watching SH8K videos is like one big mind fu*k. No matter if you are man or woman, you will find yourself deeply engaged in the beauty of the women, lost in the musical lyrics, and fantasizing about either the featured dancer, or experience in itself.

The women in the SH8K videos are an eclectic mix. Some are strippers, some just your average everyday women, college students etc. None of the females are dressed in "stripper" attire. Which actually makes the fantasy that much more tantalizing. There are no 12 inch glass heels, you may see no shoes, or even some J's...making the video that much more realistic. DJ RYAN WOLF has really taken his time into producing something that is super sexy, and dripping with delicious fantasy. With help from Purple Films and Moley Films, the quality of the videos is superb, almost mimicking a small music video, or movie trailer. The soundtrack to the videos is non-other than Ray Jr. of LEGIT PAPER himself! I finally had a chance to catch up with DJ 
RYAN WOLF, and see what's really SH8K-In!

Q. How did you come up with the SH8K video concept?

A. No Lie......I was working out at Planet Fitness, and while working out I was thinking about the TWERK TEAM, and then I thought about Ray Jr's music...and I thought..."damn...it'd be dope if I shot a twerk video to Legit Paper music"

Q. How is this different than your regular youtube "Twerk Team'?

A. Well first off.....usually the twerk team will just be shot at 1 angle, no camera movement, girls just going hard for 5 mins straight. I wanted to focus more on the beauty of a women, dancing in a sexy sensual kinda way, a way to make you fantasize, a nice gentle twerk lol.

Q. What is it that you are trying to deliver through the SH8K videos?

A. Eye Candy for the men, and a confidence builder for women out here. I try and have beautiful women, not shaking hard and being raunchy...I tried to show that a women can be confident, sexy and classy.

Q.How does the music play a part in the SH8K videos?

A. I mean as of now I use Ray Jr's music, music that  maybe everyone isn't hip to. I'm Legit Paper all day...but eventually I would like to use other artists and other popular music as well. 

Q. Have you received a lot of requests for SH8K videos?

A. Hell yeah! The feedback and responses have been insane! It's a cool way to showcase women, and get your music heard. The females featured are being booked for photoshoots etc, like getting hella attention!

Q.Who are the women featured in the SH8K videos?

A. I dunno...girls I already knew, some are strippers, some go to college..it's all different kinda girls.

Q.Who produced the Sh8K videos?

A. Mannnnn  MoleyFilms did the first video, and now Purple Films... *S/o to Brett, he has been pumping out the SH8K videos for me...I mean I am more than satisfied with the quality. It's exactly if not more than what I had envisioned for my brand.

"OWEY" GET'S IT WET WITH "POP THAT" OFFICIAL VIDEO

"Pop That" video shoot

Okkkkkk sooooooo like.....I  FU*KS with OWEY!!!! If I could I post his music all damn day....er-day I would. I mean OWEY literally makes hit after hit... it's almost impossible for me to keep up with his production output. This video "POP THAT"... reminds me of Tupac's video "I Get Around", but like a bigger booty, these are the times, OWEY version!!! It's been a long time since we've seen a video shot in a pool party setting!!!(*a gritty, authentic pool party) I love this video cuz it's oozing outrageous fun!!! I love the way OWEY keeps all his videos trill. You see fine as* girls with stoopid bodies, and then you see your basic girls, maybe not as "hot", but they seem like real down a*s girls.. but still all in all everyone is having a dope as* time!!!! I also love the way that the girls in the video are actually getting wet!!!! I hate when I see a "pool video" and all the girls act to "pretty" to get soaked. Everyone in OWEY's video was wet and shaking!!!! Gawd I wish I was at the pool party!!! Any girl or guy hating on this video...is just mad cuz they weren't a part of it, FLAT OUT!!!! POP THAT!!! XOXO

B-LO DELIVERS SEX and AGGRESSION!!!

http://GN4H.com 

Soooooooooo many things...are ah changing...fashion, television...hell pretty soon "regular" movies will be a thing of a the past. Most movies are 3D now. Even food has taken on a whole different taste...bacon sundaes *courtesy of Burger King (*mouth vomit). Don't get me wrong...I'm all for change...thank you Mr. Steve Jobs, and my secret besties *Twitter, and Facebook. Yet I've always been the type of person, that loves all things CLASSIC. It's strange to say...but the old CLASSIC is now the NEW CLASSIC, and this mos def includes music. With technology so accessible these days...it seems as if anyone with a laptop and "crew" can put out mixtapes, and call themselves "hot artists". I guess for awhile...I was accepting today's generation of music...just as it is. It wouldn't be until I listened to some old school NAS, or even Mobb Deep, Biggie, or even Jay-Z...that I would tell myself "now Jenn, this is real hip-hop". (*My own opinion ok ppl*headroll fingasnap). I had begun to think, that this generation, will never know CLASSIC hip-hop... you know...fresh, clean beats, deep intelligent lyrics, meaningful , and Classic story telling at it's finest...until...I heard B-LO.

When I first heard of  B-LO...I was at a studio session...that was just getting started. You know one of those moments where your almost "turned up", but your cup is half empty...yeah that feeling. I just kept hearing "Yooo B-lo should be coming thru soon", and "I swear dis ni*ga B-Lo takes all damn day". From the sound of things, I could only assume that this B-LO character...did things on his own time. I also assumed that B-LO, whoever he was usually turned up whenever he decided to show his face. After what seemed an eternity I finally heard a  phrase that seemed to bring the whole studio session to life....sitting in the W.41side studio (where they crank out nutting but hits)...someone loudly exhaled "yoooo B-LO is at the door!". Suddenly people rose from the couch, like in a zombie movie...loud thumps came down the stairs and there standing before me was B-LO. Nothing at all like what I had expected.

http://b-lo.bandcamp.com/ 

B-LO...is huge! He is tall, and solid looking...almost like a college football player. I automatically decided in my mind, that B-LO must have access to his own personal barber, that is at his beckon call 24-7. Only cuz dude looked strangely like a million bucks. He looked like someone DIDDY himself would associate with. Very neat, clean, fashionable, and cocky. After looking him up and down my eyes fixated on something unimaginable. B-LO...was wearing a friggin Bow tie. Yes a bow tie!!! Usually I would twist my face up and think...*awww lawdy...not another wannabe fashion icon *yawn. Yet B-LO had managed to pull off this daring fashion statement in such a classy, effortless way...it made me wish more guys would wear a bow tie.

*Hell...I even ran my fingers across my neck, to picture how I would pull off a bow tie. The studio session came alive with the arrival of some of the finest herbal refreshments ever served. B-LO took friendly shots at Ez White, and Ez Whitetossed em back, all in good fun. AHPTIMUS PRIME sat in his chair and sorted thru hooks and beats, while B-LO gave a "yes or no" to them. One thing that attracted me to B-LO was his thick skin. If there was a line that didn't mesh with the format of the song he was working on, and the crew served their input, B-LO wouldn't become defensive. He would stand up straight, run his hand over his crisp cut and say something like "yeah...maybe", or "naw...I like it the way it is". Even tho B-LO was only passing thru for a moment, within minutes his cocky attitude had made me build up a wall. He seemed to be "bossy", or "impatient". His wise cracks seemed endless, and he looked at me as if he could have any woman he desired. But I didn't have time to completely disect him, because as soon as he landed, he departed.
I've heard B-LO on a couple of songs before. I always say this....it's difficult at times to judge an artist off their music, just from collabs with other artists. It's like trying to decide which is better. The cookie part of an oreo...or the middle of it. So when I heard B-LO was dropping his album, I wasn't to thrilled. First off, the guy was so cocky, wearing that bow tie like he was president, and taking over convos, and basically being like...LISTEN TO MY ALBUM. He had some nerve! It wasn't until I had 1 of those late nights where I was laying around sorting thru music...that I came across...what can only be described ...as a..wonderful masterpiece. SEX and AGGRESSION, from B-LO proves why he the most popular villain.

SEX and AGGRESSION is the perfect title for B-LO's album. Most artists name an album and it has nothing to do with the story of the music. SEX and AGGRESSION, mos def sums up what it is that B-LO is sharing with us. B-LO comes thru his album aggressively challenging all haters, non believers, and demolishes all of his competition. He somehow manages to pull all the women towards him with his sexual references, and delicious fantasies. Nowhere does the music seem raunchy. It's all in a urban, deep, romantic wonderful way. Leaving me speechless and realizing that the look he gave me wasn't of "I can have you", it was a look of confidence...like" yo, keep staring, your looking at the best". Even a guy would listen to "Ceilings" and possibly decide to take notes. The "ARCH VILLIAN" with APHTIMUS PRIME ,DJ MAJETTE and produced by PHEENS is so far off the map...it would mos def take some of the worlds best artists years in a studio...to even be able to go against it. Just when B-LO comes off as being Aggressive, and at times maybe  make a woman question his intentions, his sexy words, or poetic thoughts quickly bring her back round and before she's knows it....she's fantasizing about SEX and AGGRESSION. B-LO seems to be able to back up everything he says on his album. SEX and AGGRESSION is how an album story should be told. With the W.41side  and PHEENS himself producing untouchable beats , and executing 1 of the fattest albums of the year for B-LO, SEX and AGGRESSION is mos def a CLASSIC, and a WINNER! If that isn't enough the albums artwork alone is magnificent, created by AHPTIMUS PRIME himself!!! "DECOMPRESSED" featuring FRANC WEST is another banger!!!! With Franc West singing "How can I be mad, good as I'm feeling"and B-LO spitting decompressed is friggin awesome!!! I've never rated an album before, because of all the "politics"behind criteria etc, but I am so confident in SEX and AGGRESSION that I will mos def give it  4 out of 5 stars!!! I have to save a star, for all the other sensitive as* rappers that may feel jilted. (Ha!)
I will congratulate B-LO on SEX and AGGRESSION, and the whole W.41Side!!!! XOXO
