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…)

Lil Wayne is doing a rock album and he’s using auto-tune. The track “Prom Queen” which Weezy leaked from the album due for release April 7th 2009 can be heard below.

This is not Rock! Just because it has guitars on it doesn’t make it Rock ‘n Roll!!

It’s not hip/hop either it’s Alternative dude. It definitely ain’t Rock ‘n Roll. There’s a lot of horrible Rock music out there at the moment. I think Wayne has been listening to this garbage and he thinks it’s Rock ‘n Roll.

Sorry Wayne, Gym Class Heroes, Fall Out Boy, and others like them are not Rock ‘ n Roll. It’s Pop Rock (garbage).

I hope the rest of the album doesn’t sound like this. I think fans are going to be disappointed. It’s rush work, I can hear it I make the stuff I should know. Wayne was number 1 in 2008 and now he is going to try to drop this bullshit “ROCK” album on us. He is totally pulling a Kanye West. He was the only one to truly create their own path to sales during a year almost no one performed well.

Posers are all over the fucking place. They have the dress code, skulls and shit holding a guitar, but don’t have the Rock ‘n Roll attitude. It’s way different than being a Gangsta. You must deliver your vocals with more emotion as Ike Turner once told me. Its a step on your climb up the ladder of $ucce$$

The King Of Rock ‘n Roll you better believe it.
He’ll tell ya, just like he told me when I first met him (and every time after too.)

Little Richard is crazy but that’s rock ‘n roll. I don’t know if he’s still living there, but forever he was staying at the Hyatt Hotel on Sunset. It’s call the rock ‘n roll Hyatt. He is driven around in the back seat of a Benz handing out signed bibles to male teenagers.
