QuestLove and Common on art, artistry and blending inspirations

My Baby Daddy is back in town...

I can hardly contain myself, my baby daddy Common is performing with Questlove of The Roots on the Hennessey Artistry tour tomorrow night. You already know I will be there front & center with a bib on. Aaaggh... I remember last year when he came to town I was totally smitten. Y'all remember how he blessed me with a juicy kiss on the cheek. If you don't then take a trip down memory lane post December 17, 2008.

Social Privy Tip> September 26, The 2nd annual Common and Friends concert raised funds for The Common Ground Foundation which was created by Hip Hop artist, actor and children’s author Lonnie Rashid Lynn, known as “Common".

My sexy, sophiticated date with Johnnie Walker...

Tonight I had a date with an older sexy and sophisticated gentleman by the name of Johnnie Walker. Mr Walker strutted into the lounge and introduced me to the exquisite world of Scotch Whiskey.

Johnnie Walker hosted a tasting session of their premiere Green, Gold, and Blue Label Scotch Whiskies at Hotel ZAZA this evening. What a treat! The first pour was the Green Label which is Johnnie Walker's latest blend of four mature single malt whiskies with flavors that consist of Heather honey, fruits and butterscotch mixed with sweet spices and subtle oak. Spicey with notes of cocoa, cedar and smoke. If you are new to Scotch Whiskey I would suggest that you start with the Green Label. I traditionally drink Scotch Whiskey in the fall and winter because it warms you up. However Green label was so smooth and light I could easily sip this drink with a couple of cubes of ice on a summer evening.

The Gold Label is crafted from an exclusive list of eighteen year-old single malts with smooth and silky textures consisting of raisins, toffee and honey. This was my favorite pour of the evening because it was paired with a delicious chocolate truffle. I know it sounds strange but the combination of dark chocolate and Scotch Whiskey was so scrumptious it caused me to *pause* mid swallow because I didn't want the experience to end. (Yummy!!), Gold Label should be poured into chilled glasses. Served neat and chilled. To enhance experience accompany with fine chocolate desserts.

Saving the best for last...Johnnie Walker Blue Label is one of the rarest whiskies in the world, hand picked from a range of exclusive distilleries. Smooth and mellow with traces of smoke, honey and sweet spice. This exclusive top shelf whiskey runs about $250 a bottle. I wouldn't suggest it for beginners. Social Privy Tip > Neat is a drink without ice or mixer. Johnnie Walker's serving suggestion: A snifter alongside a glass of water and ice. A sip of water prepares the palate by bringing down the 98 degree temperature in your mouth amplifiying the flavors to come.

All this time I thought that Johnnie Walker was an "old man's" whiskey but good ol Johnnie Walker definately surprised me tonight. I can honestly say that I am a fan after being educated on the brand and tasting the premiere labels. Im officially grown and sessy!!!

Luv ya ; >

This year Halloween fell on May 13 for Geto Boy Willie D

Willie D

A Houston rap artist is being charged in wire fraud scheme involving Apple iPhones, according to federal officials.
William James Dennis — better known as Willie D of the Houston rap group the Geto Boys — was arrested Wednesday at Bush Intercontinental Airport where he was returning from an overseas trip.
Dennis appeared in federal court in Houston today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary Milloy. He is slated to appear again Friday, and prosecutors indicated they will fight his release on bail, contending he is a flight risk.
A wire fraud conviction carries up to 20 years in federal prison and up to a $250,000 fine.
Through a front company, Dennis received thousands of dollars from foreigners and promised to ship several foreigners bulk orders of iPhones, according to an FBI affidavit.
But he always made excuses, never delivered the goods and kept the money, authorities said. He eventually stopped responding to e-mail complaints, according to offiicials.
The Geto Boys became well-known in the 1990s for their groundbreaking gangsta rap albums that sometimes touched on disturbing topics. They had several albums that went gold or platinum and reformed in 2005 to record a popular reunion album.

Damn this recession got ninja's mind playin tricks on em'...But seriously Willie D is a dear friend of mine so I can't get to deep with this one. Let's all remeber that one is innocent until proven guilty. Sometimes you can commit a crime without even knowing it. (Sounds naive I know.) I believe Willie D's intention's were in the spirit of being an entreprenuer. Perhaps he partnered up with someone who said they could provide equipment and they were a freud and couldn't provide the phones. When you are in the entertainment business people approach you with all types of business propositions. Anyway from my experience I know that whenever the FEDs are involved you are good as gone...Their conviction success rate is ridiculous. On the other hand some of the best CD's are made before an artist goes to jail or after they comeback...Just as TI.

Luv ya;>
