Hello Future.. you are looking mighty bright!

Listen Up..

Yall have it bad.. When I was your age (youngstaz, obviously) we had smooth G-shit like this as the soundtrack to our adolescent adventures. You guys have-- well, yall know the sh*t you have to listen to.. and I do mean sh*t. LoL

Enjoy the sounds of my homeboy L.A.D.

Holla @ Me G.

Mind Ya Bidnezz.. Thas All.

Men aren't always serious..
Women are rarely real..
Either way I'm Chillin.. Minding (My) Bidnezz.

My Hands Are Up..

What My Dreams Look Like..

Crystal Clear

Me? BANNED? LoL.

I think I'm Michael Jordan. And nah, I didn't just jump out of a "NBA2K11" coma (i'm on it though.. don't get it twisted.) The unveiling of the above "Banned" version of the Air Jordan 1s took my headspace to about 6 or 7 years ago when I too was the (intended) victim of a BBall attempt. That's "BLACKBall" for all you suckaz!

Now, some of you may be way too young to remember or just never knew that during the Mid-80's NBA Commissioner David Stern banned the very 1st Jordan sneaker, citing a design rules violation. "His Airness" MJ was fined 5K everytime he stepped on the court with them. Nike gladly paid the fine in exchange for the promotions.. lol.

In late 2003 when I decided to stop "babysitting" and do my own thing with people (or I should say a PERSON) I actually trusted, I soon began to feel like MJ did initially.. WTF!? How come folks I was once very cool with are no longer answering my calls? Damn, how come a station I was virtually created in no longer speaks or.. even worse.. lets me in without being questioned!? Wassup with these producers who now don't wanna finish these records!? ..Can you say BANNED?

Jordans were Banned.. I was told to "Put Yourself Out." In 1985 Michael Jordan stepped onto the court wearing the Black & Red Air Jordan 1's which were banned by the NBA. Nike launched a multi-million dollar campaign selling to the public that these 'Gucci Shoes' were so great that they were illegal. I stepped back onto the scene in 2005 with (my own) new album AND Label. My new home afforded me the opportunity to make history by producing and releasing the world's 1st Worldtape - which single-handedly revived my international prescence.

Despite the changing of the times, the Air Jordan line has managed to survive controversy and changes in the industry while producing a quality product. ...DITTO, Muthafu*kaz!

"U Wouldn't Understand It.."

The ironic part is that I wasn't even hittin nuthin in 94.. After a failed 1st attempt back in 93, I was too cool on the green! LoL. Now that I'm a grown-ass, responsible adult.. this sh*t hits me like the 1st (good) time! I first heard this record in early 1994 on a tape sampler I received from Priority Records at a Warehouse block party in South Central (remember The Warehouse?) It still manages to pop into my head when I need it the most, as do most of my jams from my teens. With the sh*t I've been hit with in these last 2 weeks, I may need a 24 pack though.. haha.

Wake Up (OG) by Shade Sheist

Unless you are one of the rare few lucky enough to possess a copy of "The Best of Shade Sheist & Nate Dogg" you have never heard this version of this record. Enjoy!

Jetsons Status.

After visiting Taiwan and seeing some of this technology first-hand, I know I for one cannot wait to indulge in some of this sh*t!

Inspired.

I can remember interpolating all of my favorite artists.. so discovering this video, much like all of them I find on YouTube, was very humbling. Appreciation is a very powerful emotion.

Shout-out to Rekollect.. keep up the good work, Homie!

YOU MAAAAD!!

ROFLMAO.

Bootleg Styles is Madddd! Ryan Naumenk(H)o is livid.
I thought I seen it all but I ain't seen sh*t! LMAO.

Hello Mystery..

..Early Luv pt.2

I miss Da Brat.. that's my old Crush, true story. According to her, I was the "cutest thing flowing" ..and those were her words (you can ask MC.) Don't get it twisted like pretzels though, I (BEEN) on Brat. When it wasn't Foxy or Kim, it was fasho Da B-to-da-R-ah-A-T!

Sidenote: check out young Raven.. who is now all grown up.. in all the right places.. wit her newfound Fine-AzZ! LoL.. I'm Crazy, I Know.

"98: It's Gonna Be The Bomb"

LoL @ adolescent minds.. So innocent.. So carefree. I remember the setting like it was yesterday (though it kinda was, lol) 1998.. and between 3 homies we had a retro Mustang, cash from Summer Job paychecks and my diamond-bezel Rolex. Individually, we may have turned heads but as a collective we got that 2nd look lol. Remember the smell of Polo Sport? Random!! LoL.. So anyways, this was (at least my) theme song for that Era. An abrupt one mind you, cause just a short time later in 99, pre-"Where I Wanna Be" Romeo found his Juliet and called it an Era.. haha. Well, it's 12 years later and I have aspirations of bringin Romeo and his theme song both out of retirement. I wonder if the homie still has that Mustang!? Lmao.

In honor of a legendary producer and great friend. Johnny Jackson taught me a lot about music at a very young age and for that I am forever appreciative. I know you and Pac are up there doin marathon sessions. We could only be so blessed to join you. Happy Birthday, J.

SHADE SHEIST (SHEIST.. SHEIST.. SHEIST..)

Now take a look at my life,

Bad Boy now, used to play the nice guy
Tried to blackball a n*gga, laugh at yall, nice try
Remember me, Mr Julio G?
Bustin' rhymes inside ya studio in front of Eazy-E
But now that's history and I must say
Imagine if I would've signed to Aftermath when I met Dre
There would be no he-say she-say
No palms greased, wouldn't have to pay a DJ
Imagine if I never toured the World,
That's like Ice Cube never sportin' a curl
I smoke w**d to get me higher than the cosmos
Imagine no Shade, no Quik, no John Doe
No Damizza, can't a nigga
Bend a corner like Beckham and still have another hit record
But when I see those people..

What's the other one..?

Ride That Muthafu*ka All The Way Out!!

If you are a musician and I've ever consulted you, an upstart whom asked me for advice, or just found yourself engaged in a detailed conversation with me about the MusiC Biz.. then you've heard me mention "The Wave" on many occasions. Everyone gets one, just some are bigger than others. Some don't see theirs coming and miss it. Others see it, get on it and fall off. A few even jump right off of their boards in a response to the pressure of riding it out. However, I give the same advice everytime and will continue..

Ride That Muthafu*ka All The Way Out!

There are a few selects reasons I say this.. 1.) You don't even know if you will survive the wave, some of the joy is finding out. 2.) If you do survive the wave, who's to say you will obtain another to ride? (you know, that whole "live for the day" ideology.) Now we are all guilty of not being responsible wave-riders, yes, even myself. But I've been blessed with more than one wave, which leads me to believe another likely is on the horizon. When it does come (not IF) I'm on that b*tch like homeboy in the above posted video!!

Jason Was From The Hood.

Well it's Friday The 13th again, yall. Why am I so cool about it? What is there to be trippin on? Jason?? Don't yall know that's the Homie..? If you've watched any of his films, it's pretty clear that he hails from "The Wood(s)" right? Hahaha.

I'm not worried about giving away my age.. Wiki would never let me hide it anyways.. lol. But how many of you remember this show? Raise yo damn hands.. all of you!! I know I wasn't the only one watching this show early in the morning in anticipation of going to school. Remember when we actually woke up WANTING to go to school? Me neither.. just kiddin. But yea, fans of nostalgia will appreciate this like I appreciated the host saying my government name that one morning in the 80s. Haha.

Tats On My Feet.

We (MTV) Jammin.

MTV just Jammed this, so of course I had to post. LoL. Not that yall haven't watched it almost 200K times on YouTube (if you only count the version on my channel.) This is one of the many reasons I can get over Cali's unpredictable heat and actually enjoy the Summer season. It's hard 2 forget a classic, apparently. Get Well NATE.

Relative (Self)Quote: "Now you might catch Sheist gettin bent on every Coast, still the ***** with the Heat, gettin rid of every Coat."

"Get Down.. or Lay Down."

So we all know one.. or two.. or many. They are the lay-downers, the individuals you know in life who will hype themselves heavy until it's time to get under the lights.. and then just as fast, *Pow!* i mean.. *tap* they are laying down in a fetal position playing a better role than Denzel on "Training Day." I watched this video and it immediately made me think of all the folx I've ever seen pull this trick out of their faded fitted. This is no Ali Phantom Punch, yall.

Relative (Self)Quote: "And ****** don't get it, but be careful what you ask for you just might Get It."

It's Mine.. But We Can Share It.

After I was introduced to West Coast 'Gangsta Rap' at about age 8 or 9 I really didn't care to hear much of anything else. Especially nothing from the East, it was just way too wordy and the beats were too generic for my young taste. Was I even old enough to have taste yet? LoL.. Long story shortened, my best friend introduced me to Jay-Z through "In My Lifetime Vol.1" and this particular song sold me on the man. I mean anyone smart enough to fu*k with the legend Teddy Riley has to know what they're doing right? Haha.

I miss my Brat. West reminded me of this record I hadn't heard since I was in my teens and I been bangin' it all morning. Damn, she sounds like she lives around the corner on this one right here.. lol. Thinking of: Brat, Mariah and Myself in the studio. Thinking about: "California (Remix)" Shade Sheist with Da Brat and Damizza. I feel some Kriss Kross coming on.. Shout-out to JD.. Playboy.

The RETURN.

LOS ANGELES/2SPR/ – Platinum songwriters from the West, N.U.N.E. and Shade Sheist, have once again fused their respective musical styles to produce a new project, this time a collaborative group lp titled “Movin Units.”

These two artists are no strangers to penning hits together, they began their collaborative efforts during the recording of Shade Sheist’s debut album “Informal Introduction,” which spawned the #1 Billboard single “Where I Wanna Be” featuring Nate Dogg and Kurupt. The new album “Movin Units” marks the return of PYO’s (Put Yourself Out Entertainment) own creators, the founders of the original “Grand Theft Audio” project series and the producers who virtually patented the medium now known as the “Street Album” and “Worldtape.” Collectively they are known as ‘N.U.N.E. and Shade Sheist’ and their new single “Movin’ Like A Boss” is available now at all digital retailers worldwide.

The recently released “Movin Units” album features 16 quality tracks that range from hardcore uptempo funk to smooth California grooves. Artist features include original West Coast crooner Domino and RedRum781 of “Bangin on Wax” fame. The project also showcases a new smoker’s anthem “SUCPIYC,” with a comedic viral video currently streaming on YouTube.

“Movin Units” is available now at www.putyourselfout.net, as well as all digital retailers worldwide.
