 | Spotlight : What The Dilly Yo? January 2004 |  |
WHAT THE DILLY YO?with Jose S. Gutierrez Jr.January 2004January 2004 - VOL. 1 Issue 12 HAPPY KWAANZA! HAPPY NEW YEAR! HAPPY MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY!IN THIS ISSUE:
NEWS:B2K IS BROKEN UP IN 4K In a press release issued by The Ultimate Group, the management company which guided the careers of the foursome of young singer/rappers from Los Angeles, it was confirmed that the quartet has broken up and has been leaning toward this decision based on career differences for some time now. Rumors abound that lead-singer, Omarion is the root cause of the disbanding of the outrageously popular boy-band, but these rumors can only be confirmed from within private circles. Chris Stokes, manager and owner of TUG reports that he is sad to see the split and hopes that the group can reconcile - especially as they are under contract with him. Not legal matters too?! This is called the showbiz, no showfriends! No one at The Ultimate Group was available for a direct statement at publishing. MR. JACKSON DENIES NATION OF ISLAM CONNECTION Critics of the Nation of Islam suggest that an association by Jackson with the pro-Black group led by The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan could be disastrous for his career, as the NOI has been targeted as a 'racist' organization against Whites and Jews. However there is no record of organizationally permitted violence committed by the Nation of Islam personnel against any groups. Jackson's team stands by it statement of no-business contact with the NOI. Got Stories? Jose@seaspot.com NW FOCUS:UNEXPECTED ARRIVAL WINS KUBE 93'S ARTIST OF '03 OCEAN RECORD READIES RELEASE OF NOTEWORTHY COMPILATION The Lineup includes Hip-Hop superstars, Al Tariq and DJ Mr. Supreme amongst many others. DJ Supreme also plays host for the snippet mixtape that will be distributed during the Indie Sessions Vol. 1 promotional campaign. DJ SUPREME IS DOING HIS THING Supreme keeps it busy as a crowd rocker and frequent flyer. Catch the Ermerald City legend DJaying The Game party in Las Vegas - oh, you don't know about The Game? These are the cats who release the Hip-Hop Honeys DVD series and this party is a feature at the Adult Video Awards right on the strip. Oh yeah, this playa makes me sick - he just inked a sponsorship deal with Roc-A-Wear clothing. 'Preme doesn't stop there as he keeps his finger on the pulse of NW Hip-Hop as the host/DJ of the soon to be released Ocean Records Indie Sessions Vol. 1 Compilation mixtape/snippet. Supreme is a busy man and a clever one at that - he is releasing his live mixed "A Funk 45 Extravaganza" recorded on-air December 14, 2003 and hosted by Johhny Horn at KEXP in Seattle. Whutcha want? I don't mean to cheerlead for this Boriqua and on the real - I don't have to. Supreme is laying the blueprint for aspiring businessfolk in the indy Hip-Hop community to learn from and apply - especially DJs. Don't cry, take it ya eye - as LL would laugh. Oh, that's not all either. To keep his name on your block and everyone else's in the NW, Supreme is releasing his new mixtape, American Pimp. You can only imagine the content and character of this street sweeper. Another tape, Take A Good Look, will hit the blocks hosted by Young Have Not and featuring exclusives mic blows from top tier MCs only. Tacoma and Seattle, boy you know you in trouble. Oh, you thought 'Preme was done? Wrong again. His new Officials CD is on the street as I type and available at Officials clothing store in Ballard (206) and online at www.dejaneiro.com. He's also riding high on his homie, Hi-Jack's new blend CD that 'ridiculous' and 'will never get old.' As far as media goes, Supreme is featured most recently in Seaspot Magazine, Complex Magazine (50 Cent cover) and Ghetto Blaster magazine. He has just completed four Television commercials and is working on a DVD to be released in 2004. Oh, and officially Superma...I mean Supreme is working a record deal with Buttermilk (Seattle) and has a funk 45 compilation on deck for '04 as well. This is all when the cat is not guest DJaying in my old stomping grounds at The Beat 94.5 in Canada, spinning at the Bada Lounge (206) on Wednesday nights or being signed to flip skills at the official G-Unit parties in Vancouver, BC. Don't sleep. Cats can really get some inspiration from Supreme's perspiration. Movin' and shakin' like a pimp shakes. GENE DEXTER SAYS - READY, SET, INDUSTRY! Beginning in January '04, Dexter and his Crazy Pinoy/Ifirm group are soliciting the cooperation of Seattle-area Hip-Hop heavyweights to come together for a series of photo sessions, media exposes and feature meetings for what seems to be consolidation of a who's who power list of 206 heavy hitters. So far some of the guests invited to partake in the highroller convention are: DJ Funkdaddy, Steve O., Dove, Livio, DJ B-Mello, Unexpected Arrival, Mr. D-Sane and many more. Check him out. At press time, Dexter was unavailable for comment. Got Stories? Jose@seaspot.com POLITICS:PIERCE COUNTY SAYS NO BUTTS ABOUT IT RECONSTRUCTION TO AIR ON PBS BEGINNING 1/12/04 Got Stories? Jose@seaspot.com SPORTS:USC AND LSU SHARE THE NATIONAL TITLE USC last won a title in the '70s and you have to back nearly half a century to 1958 to track down a national title won by the Bayou Bengals of LSU. USC masterfully laid to rest a weary looking Michigan Wolverine unit that was outmatched on paper and grass and LSU handily deconstructed the Oklahoma Sooner machine that was all of the brouhaha just before they got shut down in the Big 12 Title game by the Kansas State Wildcats with Ell Roberson and Darin Sproles. What is ironic is that even after being demolished by K-State, the then No. 1 ranked Sooners retained their standing and USC was leapfrogged by the Tigers. The Trojans didn't whine, they didn't cry about the seemingly unjustified miff at the hands (or buttons and circuits) of the computer dominated Bowl Championship Series (BCS). The Trojans, led by star college coach Pete Carroll traveled a couple miles up to the Rose Bowl and smashed on the Maze and Blue. In the '04 Sugar Bowl, LSU upset the No. 1 Sooners and practically gave the Sooners their only two touchdowns, holding them to a season-low, 159 yards and two touchdowns in a 21-14 beatdown.

Jose@seaspot.com CHANGE THE GAME:ROCK THOSE WEIGHTS AND LOSE SOME TOO Get in the gym and start with some light exercises to accompany a lighter eating habit. A lot of fast food equals a lot of quick weight. And with all of the health concerns associated with poultry these days, you have to be certain where your meat and poultry come from – man, you might be eating that powder that cats pour into a bucket, mix with water and call meat. Scrap that plan! Vegetables, fruit and light meals are the keys to a renewed you and an energized you in 2004! All of you entrepreneurs need to have energy, staying up 18 hours a day and all. Change the game, change your eating habits, change your health and make it a life resolution beginning this new year. I'm not saying that this is easy, much discipline is in need to begin and maintain this lifestyle change, but the rewards are immeasurable – and no you don't need TrimSpa like Ms. Anna Nicole Smith either (she looks better though than on her VH1 special) - work it out! Peace. SHOTS...
