I first met Ike Turner back in 2001, while I was orchestrating DVD deals. I was looking to land a deal including an Ike and Tina Turner performance, so I got his number from my pimp buddy, Rex. Rex was good friends with Ronnie Turner, Ike’s son. I called Ike, but he didn’t answer, so I left a message. Ike later told me that after he listened to my voice message, he decided that I sounded like a genuine person. That’s the only reason why Ike said he returned my phone call.

Before I met him in person, Ike sent two young ladies to my home to meet with me. He did this to find out if I proved to be a trustworthy person. The two ladies would later return to Ike (with good news, in my favor), and confirm that I was in fact cool. Not long after, Ike and I hooked up. We ended up becoming so cool with one another, that Ike even told me “I wish my son’s were like you”.

After we wrapped the Ike and Tina Turner DVD deal, we stayed in touch. We’d vibe off each other’s music. One day, Ike said to me, “You got good music and I like your rapp’in but you look like a singer man…you should try singing.” He later introduced me to BLUES music, and asked me if I liked it. To tell you the truth, I wasn’t into it. But out of respect for Ike, I listened. “Let’s record an album together,” Ike said. “I’m working on a new album and I want you to be on it.” I was so shocked – I was like, “Yeah let’s do it!” And, before I knew it, we were recording an album together. That album later landed Ike his last Grammy. (more…)

This week, Rihanna’s schedule is stacked with consecutive days of meeting the press — from interviews with Diane Sawyer, to Glamor Magazine, to 20/20 — she’s making it a point to be heard. I wonder why? It just may be that Rihanna is laying the PR-related groundwork for the release of a new album, while speaking out against former boyfriend, Chris Brown.

This sort of maticulous move is not new to the music business. Back in the day, Tina Turner also publicly turned on husband and music mentor, Ike Turner, using it as a play for the public’s sympathy — which ultimately pushed her back into the spotlight. In true Tina Turner form, the ‘O’ factor also played a parallel move. Years after Oprah Winfrey reported her childhood rape, the Queen of television made it publicly known. I want to know who the family member is, and why that person isn’t reported to be locked-up. (more…)

I’m in the studio, doing my due diligence, to make my latest one of-a-kind project, stand apart from the rest. Now, I’m getting word that Jay Z, and Jack White (from “White Stripes”), and other known rappers like Q-Tip, Pharoahe Monch (working with the “Black Keys”), they’re also working on a rock album. Oh… How can I forget Sticky Finger’s, and his partner Fredro Starr are also doing the same. This begs me to ask the question… Are black artists going back to rock music? That may be the case.

DEEP FRIED MEMORIES featuring JACKY JASPER

Jacky Jasper is currently in the studio, adding finishing touches to his premiere Heavy Funk Metal album. That’s right – I stated ‘Heavy Metal Funk’ – Know Why? Because there’s currently no other music like this new form of musical gumbo – mixed with Blues, Metal, Funk, Jazz, Rap and Soul.

The album is titled “November 5th” (Ike Turner’s Birthday) – in memory of the late great Mr. Turner, Jacky’s Blues mentor…who passed the torch to Jacky Jasper before his passing.

The group features Jacky Jasper along with four other members who all play live instruments — that’s right LIVE bitches!!! No autotune here — REAL A$$ Mu$iC — What the art of music is meant to be!!!

You can expect 12 tracks from Jacky’s group called, “Deep Fried Memories”. Be prepared, cuz ya’ll ain’t heard nothing like this before. It’s a new form of music, created by Jacky Jasper, and it will def leave a staple in the music biz forever — much like Hector LaVoe did with Salsa. In the words of Ike Turner, “Jacky, ya gotta do a blues record with your style stamped on it.” As promised to his mentor, he did just that!!! R.I.P Uncle Ike. (more…)

From Jacky Jasper’s 7th Veil”
Track Title: “Play it Cool – feat Ike Turner”

I had the opportunity of interviewing Phil Spector before his incarceration and it was a pretty sad; know why? Phil told me to my face that he didn’t kill Lana Clarkson.
Lana committed suicide according to Phil Spector and guess what? I believe him. I asked Phil, as we sat in the H.S.K. office, what had happened that night.

“We played a game and we both lost.” He never elaborated any further; he wanted to talk about music. So I asked him what was his thoughts on American Idol  and he replied that American Idol was not his cup of tea. Phil said American Idol was a complete insult to music. And I must agree; don’t you?
Then we spoke about our passed mutual friend Ike Turner and he and I both shared our fun times with him.

Ike actually introduced me to Phil Spector years ago but Phil and I also ran into each other again at a sad point in both of our lives; it was at Ike’s funeral.
We spoke there as well; Phil and I both have somethings in common; guess what it is?

Night Court is very confusing tonight. Both parties don’t understand what is going on. Robin Rihanna Fenty is missing. She was in Mexico looking sad and now she’s at Puffy’s house with Chris.

Judge Kawasaki wants an explanation. He asks Gloria Allred. Gloria is wearing an Alexander McQueen dress with matching shoes.

{Gloria} Your honor my client appears to be missing. She’s awol you honor.

{Judge Kawasaki} Do you have any ideas where she might be?

{Gloria} Yes I do, She’s at Puffy’s mansion in Miami.

{Judge Kawasaki} Puffy’s here I saw him dancing in the hallway. Where’s Chris Brown?

{Mark Geragos stands up} Your honor Rihanna and my client Chris Brown are both at Puffy’s house
Judge Kawasaki orders the courtroom’s bailiff to escort Sean P Diddy Combs out of the courthouse, Then the Judge speaks to the court.

{Judge Kawasaki} Gloria your client is not here and neither is yours Mark. Thanks to Puffy you guys are screwed!

The State of California vs. Chris Brown

Your  Honor, you’ve heard opening statements from Chris Brown’s attorney. We intend to prove he is not innocent. We will prove he’s a violent man.

Your honor,  Chris Brown’s legal team is making accusations about the victim Rihanna. The victim never gave Mr Brown an STD, oh no she didn’t.

Before this case is over your Honor, you will notice Chris Brown is sick just like his stepfather. We have evidence that he also abuses his mother. We have many witnesses  all willing to testify.

This animal , Chris Brown punched Rihanna. He bit her. This monster Chris Brown choked Rihanna threatening death to her. He is not a role model, he’s a beast.

Your Honor, he’s only 19yrs old and he’s already acting like Ike Turner. This teenager is dangerous to society and we’ll prove this before this case is over.

Tune in tomorrow for another episode of Night Court

19-year-old RnB sensation Chris Brown was accused of assaulting his long-term girlfriend Rihanna. It was reported earlier that Chris Brown surrendered to LAPD on Sunday evening. He was taken into custody around 6:30 p.m., and was officially booked at 7:41 p.m. He was later then released on a $50,000 bond.

There have been many various rumors and reasons to why this incident occurred, but there is one specific reason that stands out to us: We strongly believe Rihanna infected Chris Brown with Herpes. We are completely disgusted!!!! About two weeks ago we reported Rihanna was walking around with this repulsive infection, and now she attacked Chris Brown with it. We do not agree or condone domestic abuse…We are completely against it, but what if someone gave you a viral disease? What would you do? Wouldn’t anger be your first emotion?

Rihanna was previously romantically linked to Shia Labeouf, Josh Hartnett and Kanye West. So we are thinking they too were victims of Rihanna’s Herpes or maybe one of them gave her this vile infection. All we know is Hollywood is filled with STDS…Stay away from these celebrities, they are not role models, and you should not want them as love interests, unless you are okay with receiving bumps on your genitals.

Poor Chris!!! Now he will have no choice but to date Paris Hilton, who he admitted earlier in his career that she was untalented and he didn’t understand why she was famous. He will have to date Mary-Kate Olsen, and pray Jessica Alba divorces her unknown husband. Brown is now officially part of the Herpes Crew. Expect to see him dating Britney Spears, and Rihanna Dating Benji Madden. All these people have poor hygiene and purchase valtrax daily. Chris is a talented guy, and its so sad that he will now have to be buddies with these losers…he must be furious.

Everyone is yelling at Chris Brown, calling him the new Ike Turner. He was angry. He is embarrassed. He has every right to be. (more…)
