Dj Handspin want to take this time out and give a phat shout out to Ad The General of Elegant Hoodness and N. A. N and also thank her for inviting me to an outstanding event on saturday, September 11th, 2010.

It was the 6th Annual Park Tour 2010 at Von King Park, in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn. This tour was organized six years ago by Ad The General and her Elegant Hoodness members to be taken place primarily during the summer months. Set up perfectly when school is normally out and a way to give something back to the inner city youths. Sort of another a way to bring entertainment and hip hop culture to the neighborhood parks as well.

There were an array of talent that blessed the stage. I was so fortunate to be able to capture great video footage. However, I didn't capture any photographs but any viewers are welcome to view at, www.youtube.com/worldwidejabbz.

On the roster for the evening were, Sean Flight, Young Rell Right, Greg P, G3MZ, Quest, N. A. N. (Ad The General and Gifted), Simplicity, Hand Made Beats, Flawless The Rap Chick, AGZ, Ashy Elbowz, Twon Don and Ms FeFe.

This was an allstar event everyone did their finest.

My personal favorites though were Young Rell. I enjoyed his performance especially when he had his lil' son come on stage and entertain the crowd that looked so cute to see lil' man imitate his daddy on stage and rock along side of him. It would be so cool if it turned out to be a regular performance routine I think the people would love that. I also like this one song that Rell did called, "This Beat So Nasty" that was a sick record right there especially the hook y' all gotta hear that joint.

This next cat was another favorite of mine, I kind of consider him a Puerto Rican, Nas... this emcee named G3MZ, emcee, producer, writer, poet. He did only 2 jamz, "Change" and "Circus" either those 2 jamz are his best jamz. Or, he knew they would just rock the house and heads would go bananas. Like I said, you gotta see dis event. Youtube me at worldwide jabbz.

I got a few more favorites that did their thing that evening. I do not think I'm going to run down everyone but there is one emcee or rather femcee I must speak upon. I knew from the moment I layed my eyes on her I was in love. I'm not talking in love like in a sexual way but love in a str8 up lyrical way. Flawless The Rap Chick, a raw sexy slimy sista from Brooklyn spittin' str8 raw. Never, ever again I thought I would ever find and meet another femcee that can match the lyrical prowess of the gr8 M. C. Lyte. She performed these 2 joints that got me amped "War" an anti-war record. Which set the tone perfectly for 9/11 and "In My Cup". She performed this song, "In My Cup" that record got me hooked. She got the whole park hooked had the party rockin'. However, I don't think Flawless should be performing records like that. I couldn't get that tune out of my head for the rest of night I ended up copping a bottle later on that evening and taking it to da head. That was some intensified performance from Flawless The Rap Chick.

The shit that pissed me off though. I was out there recording most of the day so when it came down to her segment. I ended up taking an L on her performance due to low battery life on my cam. That shit fucked me up I would have really wanted to get someone like her on my youtube page. I aint gonna trip too much cuz imma see her again and remember that name, Flawless The Rap Chick.

Definitely, next time not only will I bring extra batteries and memory cards. I'll have extra cups, for a private party. Shawty got me back in the cup.

But like I said if you would like to view, "Sept 11th, Park Tour @ Von King Park" feel free to visit, www.youtube.com/worldwidejabbz. I do have plenty other significant entertainers from that day posted on there. I would love to speak about them all but I can't give too much away. I'm not a spoiler.

Once again, thank you to AD and her team for inviting and for putting on such an excellent 6th annual Park Tour. Looking forward to the 7th annual, already... Don't forget you can catch AD The General with the Elegant Hoodness Showcase, each and every wednesday at Club Alibi in the village, 116 Mac Dougal St and W. 4th St., NYC. For more info contact adthegeneral@gmail.com

She's always looking for emcees, singahz, musicianz, djz and so forth.

Open to performers, spectators or just fillers.

Happy Labor day everyone, even though I'm six days late but the mood is still in the air and the moment of seeing this group live on stage, The Brand Nubian. I finally got a chance to see Brand Nubians, this summer live at a weird location in Willie Burg, Brooklyn. A special labor day rooftop show featuring Brand Nubian's Sadat X and Grand Puba, Wild Cowboy's Sean Black and C- Ray Walz. I'm pretty sure no one wants to hear Dj Handspin speak anymore. If you do not want to hear Dj Handspin speak, say sumthing. Okay, you know thats an rhetorical question so anyone replies will be removed from my email list.

"FAT BEATS FAREWELL WEEK AUG. 30th-SEPT. 4th"

Dj Handspin Dinero, here once again with another exciting newsletter issue of Rusty Jabbz. I just wanna say that this week I'm at its HIP HOP BEST. I experienced a lot last week in the name and love of hip hop. I'm going to sit back and talk about all the extravagant things that went down in my life and your going to experience everything in a cool effin "HIP HOP MINUTE!"

August 29, 2010: First off I wanna give a phat shout out to my homegurl, Ad The General for putting together another successful Summer Park Tour for six years in a row. Six years of success. I want to say peace and love to Ad and her Elegant Hoodness Musical Team for putting on such a great showcase live on the Brighton Beach Boardwalk for the whole community to see. "STAY TUNED BECAUSE IT'S NOT OVER. SHE HAS ONE MORE PARK TOUR LEFT COMING UP SAT., SEPT. 11th LIVE @ Von King Park Lafayette & Tompkins"

August 31, 2010: I'm not really sure where to start with this one. I'm not a big baseball person, hell I'm not a sports person period but I wanna thank TNA and MCU Park for this free ticket to witness the Brooklyn Cyclone face the Georgia Lake Monsters. I may not have paid too much attention to the game but I paid alot of attention and enjoyed all the hotdogs, popcorn and beer a brutha can eat and drink.... shssssssh don't tell my doctor the fool be cholesterol trippin'.

Sept. 1, 2 and 4, 2010:

Okay playtime is over. It's time for Dj Handspin to get serious. They always say you never see a man cry until you see a man die. Well for those who know me you probably seen this man cry once he heard that Fat Beats New York was closing its store, last week. Me being a respected dj its natural for someone to have feelings and a common bound about a particular place. Especially a place that helped set me up in the world of hip hop. So, instead of being bitter and the continuous sulk over the loss. What better way than, to get up, get out and celebrate the memories and the performances of HIP HOP'S WORLD TRADE CENTER!

Setting it off, last wed, Sept 1st, we had in store performances by some supreme hip hop elite emcees and dee jays. I wanna give a phat shout out to the djs that came through Sucio Smash, Dj Boo, Dj Spinna, Dj Tony Touch and phat shout out to the emcees that came through Fresh Daily, Jig Mastas, Breezly Brewin' of The Juggernauts and The Arsonists. It was great seeing Breezly Brewin' again I haven't seen duke since he left the store sun did an excellent performance in the store. Be on the look out for Breezly Brewin' new single "Oxymoran" coming soon. But now that Fat Beats is no longer here you have to go to the website and copp it. Thats the way it is and thats how it goes.... WELCOME TO 2010!

Speaking of excellent performances another allstar group that did a marvelous job, the crew from Bushwick, Brooklyn you know them as The Arsonists. They were top notch and superb all in attendance including D.stroy. Thats right I said D.stroy, he performed along with them. Even though he showed up kind of late perhaps having doubts in reuniting with his old rap group. Nonetheless it was a thrill to see them all there.

Yesterday, on Sept 2nd I took somewhat of a breather I did go to the Fat Beats Farewell Celebration the next day but I stayed downstairs to avoid the heat strokes, "Sorry Boot Camp and Duck Down records" maybe next time. Besides I think I can count the number of times I seen your artists perform.

Real talk though, the real day came on SEPT 4TH, A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE. THE DAY THE DOORS WERE CLOSED. FAT BEATS NEW YORK, FINAL DAYS.

This day didn't go according to plan. I jumped on the scene around 3pm and the place was packed and full of true hip hop fans and lovaz. Just the way I like to see an event too bad a hip hop monument have to be closing to be rekonized. I'm looking up and down the block people blocking the side walk. C-cypher out there trying to keep crowd control.

I took it as an "L" I knew, I had no intention of getting into Fat Beats I wasn't gonna force myself into the place I was gonna make do with what I had. What I had was my fam, a fam I rarely get to see and I wanna thank my dude D-$ and Un and my homegurl, Amor for coming through. Not only did they come through for a FAT BEATS FAREWELL it was also a RUSTY JABBZ REUNION. Rusty Jabbz, a company built and formed just on the strength of the music Fat Beats distributes and sells. Everything was all love and all good. There were just 2 people missing from the equation my homies, Qzr and Sha King. No need to worry because we got all the flicks and the footage for them to see.

Phat shout out to everyone that came through (or at least the cats I seen and knew after all it was a packed house) cats like Breez Evah Flowin, Sav Killz, C-ray Walz, Charles Hamilton, A.G., Sadat X, Bee Danger, Abacus, Verse Essential, Access Immortal, Loer Velocity, Life Long, Karniege, Sammy B and the list just goes on and on. So, even though I never gotten a chance to go upstairs and witness some of the performances like Andre The Giant, Brand Nubians, Just Blaze, Dj Scratch, Dj Premier and so forth. Just being in the presence of realness was enuff for me and I loved it. Besides for those who don't know, me and my team finally did make it upstairs and thats a photo I'll never forget. And wouldn't y' all like to know what I'm talking 'bout.

City Parks Foundation Concert: DOUG E. FRESH & DJ DEE WIZ live Wed., Aug. 11th @ 7pm @ Jackie Robinson Park West 145th St. btw 7th and Amsterdam Avenue, Harlem, NYC

It was a nice night in Jackie Robinson Park. A place 30 years or so years ago was called, "The Dome". The famous Dome, where The Late, Great Master Don used to have his most pulsating, adrenaline rushing, historic park jamz. I'm not going to go into it because this may have been way before my time. But the one man who was not before my time but was actually apart of my time, The Original Human Beatbox, Doug E. FRESH!!! At least thats what the fans and the industry say. Beatboxing is that missing link to the Hip Hop chain. We now have 5 elements of Hip Hop; Element 1: The Graffiti, Element 2: The D. J., Element 3: The Dancers, Element 4: The M. C. and last and never least, Element 5: The Beat Box. These are the original 5 elements of Hip Hop not that sappy wanna be pop shit you hear today on the radio. If today's rappers want to add more elements to the original 5 they can try but it won't connect.

I remember the first time I heard Doug E. Fresh it was from one of his recordings, "The Show" a duet with Slick Rick. I remember the Inspector Gadget sample and the beginning of the record going "6 minutes, 6 minutes, 6 minutes Doug E. Fresh your on uh uh on uh uh uh on". Whenever that part would play I start looking at the clock on my mother's living room wall. "The Show" was the first official recording I ever heard from Doug E. Fresh and not only him, Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick as a collabo as well. "The Show" single back then made listeners wait an extra 6 minutes to hear them perform on the record but live here tonight in Jackie Robinson Park fans wait an extra 60 minutes for this particular show that haven't jumped off yet. This is how it goes at every park jam soon as you enter all you see are lawn chairs, beach towels, tents, cameramen, a sound booth, a stage and what's usually on the stage. C' mon guyz I know y' all didn't forget that quick.... Element #2 C' mon, C' mon .... IT'S THE D. J.! The d. j. up on stage, we got Dj Dee Wiz rockin'. Although he isn't a pretty hard target to miss. If you got 20/20 vision you can see the big 8"x10" sticker across the top of the laptop, talk about promotion that's the 2nd d. j. I seen do that.

This jamz is more my steelo because all you see are grown and sexy ladies from tree to tree, bench to bench, grass to grass and these ladies were getting down. Especially when D J Dee Wiz started killin' it with the old school soul music. He was a great dj and crowd motivator. Here's the funny part of the night I'm looking at my watch and it reads, 8:24 pm. I'm like, "8:24pm", this shit gonna end in like 6 minutes. As I'm saying that to myself the d. j. announces, "Doug E. Fresh just stepped in the building!" I was wondering what was taking so long. This is Doug E. Fresh's hood, he still walk these streets of Harlem World.

D. J. Barry B of The Get Fresh Crew comes onto the stage to set up his laptop to the dj set. While all that was going on, Doug E. Fresh, he didn't come alone. He bought some friends along. How many people reading this remembers Spoonie G? Well if y' all don't google his discography. I'm an unfamiliar listener myself to M. C. Spoonie G. I know what y' all thinking and saying, "Oh My God Dj Handspin doesn't know who Spoonie G is. The great Dj Handspin Dinero, hip hop enthusiast does not know about an emcee from the old school."

If y' all thinking that then I don't know what to tell you. I didn't know every old school hip hop emcees nor did I listen to them either but doesn't make me less hip hop. So hope y' all aint thinking that.

Anyway, Spoonie G opened up the show for Doug E. Fresh.... Spoonie G, the man that saved Doug E. Fresh's life. Spoonie G, kicking a old school freestyle. Spoonie G performing one of his hit single, "Take It Off".

Doug E. Fresh came on the stage at 8:52pm. I was happy to see him until he started preaching.... for a minute. I thought I was looking at Reverend Fresh. But this message was important and dedicated to what's been going on in the streets lately. I wanna take this time out to say, REST IN PEACE to them 2 young boyz who lives were tooken this week during a police shoot out over a female altercation. So I understood the method behind his performance introduction which lead to this.... Dj Barry B spinning the forever classic anti-violence record, "STOP THE VIOLENCE" and Doug E. Fresh on the stage as if he's an narrator talking over the song during each artist part including his own (don't forget Doug E. Fresh was a guest on this record) and reciting the verses along with the artists.

After that we were supposed to hear his son's group, Square Off but they were nowhere to be found. So in the meantime, Doug E. Fresh taught us, "How to do the Dougie?" This was funny, he's rhyming with Slick Rick's lyrics to, "Lodi Dodi" over the California Swagg District actual record to, "Teach me how to Dougie." It was so funny and cute seeing, Doug E. Fresh, do his old school dance from one of his classics, "Cut that Zero".

After Doug E. Fresh's comedic performance, Square Off still nowhere to be found so he calls to the stage his nephew to perform. An emcee that goes by the name. I'm not exactly sure his name due to the mic and its echo but I believe the artist was either named Mason Bass or Manson Bass which ever one it is he performed 1 song then Square Off was finally front and center to perform one of their songs.

It was finally time to see the Original Human Beatbox, Doug E. Fresh perform setting it off with one of his classic singles, "The Show". Which lead to a special beat box performance showing the crowd why he's been declared the Original Human Beatbox for these past four decades. I must also say that Mr Fresh still got it. The show was so great until we got the bad news from the park and concert officials that Doug E. Fresh performance must come to an end. Apparently Doug E. Fresh went over the time limit. You must keep in mind that these City Park Foundation concerts are scheduled to begin at 6pm and end at 8:30 pm but because he was late he went over the time limit. Why shouldn't he be late. He's the Mayor of Harlem and the World's Greatest Entertainer and plus he's FRESH!!!!

Doug's performance began at 8:24pm and ended at 9:22 pm. An extra hour and half was given to Doug E. Fresh so they had to stop it at some point and time.

Even though the Doug E. Fresh show didn't live up to my expectations but I was still happy to see him perform considering I never seen him perform before. I wanna thank everyone that came out and came along with Doug E. Fresh. Cats like T. C. Valley, L. A. Sunshine, Nice and Smooth, Doug's mother and kids and nephew. All of them were in the house, Doug E. Fresh making this a family affair.

I also wanna give a PHAT SHOUT OUT to all the kids under the age of twenty that were in the house as well coming to pay some homage and witness a true emcee and entertainer and old school hip hop legends.

ROCKSTEADY CREW 33RD ANNIVERSARY IN NEW YORK CITY & NEWARK, NEW JERSEY WEEKEND:

It's been quite along time since I been to a Free Rocksteady Live Concert. My love for Rocksteady, died when they got punked by Mayor Bloomberg for that one summer of 2003. It turns out Mayor Bloomberg had something special planned for the City of New York that same weekend, same year of the Rock Steady Anniversary, to put it in STREET TERMS: "BLOOMBERG WUZN'T HAVIN' IT!" So, since then Rocksteady Free Hip Hop Concerts in New York City been a memory.

Today, Aug. 1st, I felt like waking up on a niggeritus day (sunday) and getting dressed to travel cross state lines via New York/New Jersey transit to witness for the first time since Rocksteady decide to relocate their concert. I just wanna say, I' m glad I did but before I go any further. I would like to thank someone who been special in my life for many years, my mother. It was my mother who bought me along on the path train when I was a youngun for a lil' mother-son road trip moment. I never did forget that day until today. The day I rode out to one of the ruffest, tuffest, dirtiest, filthiest and can't forget grimiest cities on the east coast, NEWARK, N. J. and despite what the media says about NEWARK. I still had a GOOD TIME IN NEWARK! It cudn't have been made possible if it wuzn't for people like Crazylegs and The Rocksteady Crew and all their fans and supporters. Everyone reading this I want y' all to take a moment and just repeat outta respect for the Rocksteady Crew say 33 YEARS!, 33 YEARS!, 33 YEARS!, 33 YEARS!, 33 YEARS! 33 YEARS! now repeat and say it louder as loud as ur voice can get until ur voice swells....... ROCK! ROCK! ROCK! ROCK! ROCK! ROCK! ROCK! ROCKSTEADY, Y' ALL!!!

Ok, enuff 4 da fun & games. You know I gotta AMP UP my readers before y' all delete it after you read it. I got footage of the event. Enuff coverage to lace y' all with for ur mere entertainment. I just wanna speak on the Rocksteady 33rd Anniversary in Newark, New Jersey. At 1st I thought it was raining when I left my crib to walk to the train. So pissed off at Mother Nature 4 pissing on me. The 1 time I wanna go to Rocksteady & it rains. I just hoped the transportation don't fuck with me all the way to New Jeru on this sunday. It turned out looking good. The rain did eventually stop unless it only rained in certain areas. Word on da street, Mother Nature didn't give a shit about, BROOKLYN, today.

I'm sitting on the Path train, fucking small as hell, less seating but more standing room available I guess thats how they do it stuff a bunch of Jersey niggaz on a daily, back n forth to the city in and out on a regular work week. On a good note though, The Path will get you there. The Path got in New Jersey in.... I don't even know. I wuzn't trying to keep count but that train moved like the muh' fucken L I R R or AmTrak or something.

Once I got to Jersey, I touched the most dangerous turf, NEWARK! I aint gonna front I was shook but you know me I travel no where UNPROTECTED, belee dat. I came out the Newark Penn station and headed for the bus #62 to Lincoln Park. Lincoln Park thats where the Rocksteady Concert is going down. I'm sittin' down on these Newark City buses mad and jealous as hell. These fuckin' buses all cushioned up they got luggage racks in the front of the bus. The fuckin' coin dispenser by the driver accepts dollar bills. Dats sum fucked up shit man, why can't Brooklyn buses have any of that. Brooklyn buses need comfort and luxury. Despite the luxury of the Newark City buses though you still gotta drive through the ghetto. At least when your going through the ghetto you'll be going through in style. New Jersey's hoods, GOT IT MADE! I'm on the bus going down Market street. Now to any other New Yorker who happens to be in New Jersey on this afternoon you would probably see Market street aint no different than Fulton st, Jamaica Ave, Flatbush Av, Fordham Rd and so forth. The reason why I say this is because I hear so much negativity always being said about the violence that goes down in Newark, N. J. but coming to a Rocksteady Free Live Hip Hop Concert in Lincoln Park on Broad St. and Clinton Pl. all of that negative media jargon disappeared. I aint see none of dat once I arrived.

As soon as I walked into the park the 1st thing to my mind was, "Dam, I knew The Brownbag Allstars was going to be performing around the same time as I showed up". The 2nd thing, was, "This looks like a festival". All I see are people with different vendor tables selling items and food and a stage performance area. They even had a square checker board lay out implanted into the grassy mole of the park for b-boy/b-girl battles. Out of all that the one thing I didn't see and that was security. No security, no metal detectors and no bag searchers. I was shocked, it looks like Crazylegs and The Rocksteady are more loose and more open to the public. Perhaps this is the reason, Rocksteady prefer to have the free concert over here in Newark, NJ rather than New York City.

I walked around some more trying to see who's in the house. Phat shout to EOW, who had their very own table slangin' EOW products and EOW were also the host of the day. Who were later joined by Hot 97's own Dj Peter Rosenberg. I showed up to the Rocksteady Anniversary at 2:11pm. It was still early nuthing didn't pop off yet. I actually made it in a nick of time. The performance began shortly after that. The first on the scene was an I believe, Canadian Femcee that goes by name of Eternia. (Shout out to Canada for doin' it real big in the rap game lately nuhmean to cats like Drake) Back to Eternia's performance this is a gurl I been wanting to hear for the past 2 months ever since I missed her in store appearance at Fat Beats back in Jun. She's a pretty, cute and sweet female with a hardcore lyrical twist to her slang. She burst onto the stage wearing a black T-shirt that reads, "Why White Female Emcees Wear Mini Skirts" and the irony. She was wearing a low cut denim mini skirt. The outfit made her look cute. They always say, your first impression is what people will always think of you. Well, what I thought of her was a full fired, energetic emcee thats ready to take the stage and the crowd. Later, she actually joined in the crowd (or should I say jumped in the crowd) with some upfront performance. If you just happened to be in that vicinity at that time y' all would of looked at it as VIP treatment. Phat shout out to Dj Boo who helped Eternia carry her portion of the show.

However act two and I say act two because I'm unsure whether or not this person is a well known emcee. The next emcee introduced to the stage went by the name of Reckless. I believe he's an Newark resident. He didn't look much Reckless to me. He didn't receive too much love for his one song performed but as stated before his performance. He did mention he was also a dancer and the crowd acknowledged and saluted Reckless more for his choregraphed dancesteps than his music. Which is cool it seems making up dances to go with a rap record is popular these days (go figure). I just felt bad for Reckless because after his performance this man came on right after him. The man who hates FUCKING RAPPERS!, Pack FM. Being that Reckless is a rapper was that wise to put Pack FM on right after him. Were you guyz trying to say something. Pack FM coming onto the stage with Mecca of The Source Magizine Famlee and special guest, Newark, N. J's own Pace Won. Pace Won, I haven't seen him inna minute it felt good seeing him again. These guyz rocked this set. Which is always gonna be more likely whenever you have "EMCEES ON STAGE THAT FUCKING HATES RAPPERS!" I gotta admit it I used to fucking hate Pack FM but I was tripping back then.

Next up the one man De La Soul, Mickey Factz comes on stage. Before I go any further I want it noted his name shud be changed to Hippie Factz. Despite his 50 year old attire he is still a good artist. The time was whinding down and coming amongst us. Imma be real, theres only a few artist I actually came out here to see today and one of them was up next.

Everyone reading this across the land I want to put your hands up for THE LORDS OF THE UNDERGROUND and if you can't say it all just say LOTUG. I was so happy to see the Lords of the Underground but something wasn't right. There's something missing, NO MR FUNKEE! WHERE'S MR. FUNKEE? I was still happy to see Do It All but the performance is not the same with just 1 half of the group and during the whole time Do It All was performing he never bought up Mr Funkee's name. He never mentioned anything to the crowd. We didn't hear anything of Mr Funkee's whereabouts. I just hope he's alright. You know what I think, I think they broke up. It's the same ol' same ol', we lost The Artifacts, we lost Das Efx and now LOTUG. Okay I maybe jumping the gun. I hope LOTUG are still together and I hope we can get another lp out of them whether it be major or independent. This the hip hop I grew up on.

Speaking of hip hop I grew up on. Here's a brother I never seen in concert before. Now this time readers I want y' all to throw ur peace signs up and ur "A's" and let's say A' SALAAM A' LACUUM to our GOD and GOD Emcee, Larkim Shabazz. This was gr8 I felt like that 8 yr old boy watching him for the first time. Where have Larkim been all these years? Larkim Shabazz performed 2 of his power refinement single from the 80s, "Black is back" "Fade the black" and then he went on to perform a new song for an upcoming album he has coming out. That's right, the GOD is back. The day just keeps getting betta I should have known I spoken too soon.

Next up another emcees from the late 80s early 90s, Chill Rob G. I wasn't really feeling his performance I was never a Chill Rob G fan. You would think after all these years his music might have grown on me by now. Skip all that bullshit cuz now this is the knitty gritty.

The moment of truth, the moment everyone been waitin' for Mr Uh Uh Uh, "BIG DADDY KANE". I got another chance to see Big Daddy Kane perform again this summer. Kane performing, "Aint No Half Steppin", "Warm It Up, Kane", "The Wrath of Kane" and other superb hits. I never miss a chance to see Kane perform but this time Kane aint come alone. He bought some friends along, y' all remember Scoob and Scrap. Big Daddy Kane performance was so ill but what he did at the very end when he called out Rocksteady to battle him, Scoob and Scrap that was sick. After all that mayhem on stage the performers had to take a breather, the crowd had to take a breather. If this was football it would be halftime.

Everyone went for halftime but during halftime we got to enjoy one of my favorite djs of all time, The 3X Dj Champion-Dj Scratch do his turntablism segment. This been a good day for me twice I got a chance to see 2 supersters that I already seen perform this summer. This day just given me that opportunity to see them all over again. Dj Scratch's segment was awhile but gr8 which lead into the introduction of EPMD. EPMD, another group who I just saw recently perform at Queensbridge Park on Jul 15th. I don't know what happened I like EPMD and everything but they were lame. They did the same exact routine. Performed the exact same songs that they did at Queensbridge Park. Oh that super freestyle that I thought Erick Sermon spit at Queensbridge Park, he spatted it at Rocksteady some freestyle that was. Seeing EPMD perform at Rocksteady was a waste of time especially if your going to do the same exact thing that you just did like 2 weeks ago. Sure Eric & Parrish your probably saying, "no one in Newark was at Queensbridge, 2 weeks ago" maybe true but I was there and I'm that type of nigga that wud put you on blast kinda like what I'm doin' now.

I had an excellent time out there in Newark for Rocksteady's 33rd Anniversary. I manage to get alot of footage and y' all will be seein' it up on here real soon.

I just want to send a thank you to the Newark NJ police department who were on patrol that day. The reason I need to shout out the Newark Police department because quote on quote people claim that this community is a so call high crime area but yet they manage to put an event that began from 12 in the afternoon and ended at 9pm. I don't know too many high crime areas that will let an event go on till 9pm at night all because the media and the residence are too scared, boo hoo grow some balls. I was out there and I had a gr8 time and enjoyed a gr8 33rd anniversary and most definitely looking forward to attending the 34th anniversary along with other Rocksteady events. All the events all over again. I wanna pick up where I left off.

From Yours Truly,

I wanna send this special birthday shout out to a special lady in my life. No, I aint talking about these regular girls from the streets and on facebook and twitter. The woman I would like to address is my mother. Today, is my Ol' Earth, Birthday and I just wanna wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND MANY MANY MANY HAPPY RETURNS. I just wanna thank her for giving me life and making me the man I' am today and forever being by my side as much as she can. Even though sometimes I do not deserve it but I love you for it. I wanna thank her for all the love that is appreciated from the bottom of my heart.

I know everyone on my email list that I sent this newsletter too y' all probably opened up your mail and reading this and probably calling it trash as I express my open love to my mother. I'm sorry if my email might have taken up space in your inbox. I just wanted a few moments of my contacts and viewers eyes so you can read and see the way I felt about my mother and mother's in general across the world.

"MOM"

a word that means many different things- warmth, kindness, understanding and above all, LOVE!

WHAT IS A MOM?

"She's words that encourage."

"Hugs that care and hands that help when you need it the most."

"She's the voice of experience, the wisdom that guides and that sees the best in you always."

I hope your enjoying this so far this thats just a prelude.... Mom, this is something I had written I been working on it for quite awhile it wasn't serious. I came up with the title, "Children Do Not Realize" as a title for a internet novel. I decided to add some art and literature to it for something special for your birthday.

"CHILDREN DO NOT REALIZE"

AS CHILDREN, WE CAN'T COMPREHEND OR FULLY REALIZE THE MEANING OF A MOTHER'S LOVE. HOW TENDER, HOW WISE, HOW HER PATIENCE AND HER GUIDANCE AND HER HELPFUL CARING WAYS, THE SPECIAL THOUGHTFUL THINGS SHE DOES TO BRIGHTEN UP THE DAYS.

YEARS GO BY, BEFORE WE KNOW THE DEPTH OF HER CONCERN, THE LOVE IN HER PROTECTIVENESS. IT TAKES SO LONG TO LEARN BUT AS WE GROW WE UNDERSTAND SO WE LOOK BACK AND SEE THROUGH OLDER EYES AND WISER HEARTS, HER LOVE AND LOYALTY.

IT'S THESE AND MANY OTHER THINGS THAT MAKE HER GROW MORE DEAR, MORE ADMIRED AND MORE APPRECIATED WITH EVERY PASSING YEAR. YOU'RE A WONDERFUL MOTHER. YOU'RE A BEAUTIFUL PERSON.

YOU LISTEN WITH YOUR YOUR HEART.

YOU'RE ALWAYS GIVING. YOU DESERVE THE BEST.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY WITH LOVE!"

Mom, you enjoy your day today.
