EatAddict: A Free Speech Blog

3G iPhone & Wii Giveaway

I was serious about the last one. A few of my peoples picked up a Wii, iPod, and some assorted gift cards in the last contest ThisNext had. Currently, they're running a similar contest in which they upped the ante and are giving away a 3G iPhone in addition to another Nintendo Wii. Play like you got insomnia, and don't sleep. 

ThisNext is a product recommendation site where users discover and evangelize about products that they like. It's kinda like Yelp but with a focus on tangible merch. To enter the giveaway, all you have to do is recommend a product and tag your pick "TN Influence". They'll do a random drawing on 7/31 and award the two prizes. Click here to enter the contest. And if you really wanna be my best friend, you can kill two birds with one mentos, do a search for my CD "Calisthenix", and use that as your product to recommend. Brilliant! 

Massive

I'm seriously stepping my beads game up in '08. Getting a custom piece made from the beast in the middle. Don't try this at home.

Label Drama

Watch who you do business with. I sold a surprising number of records in Japan via a label that does a lot of import releases from US artists. The contract provisioned that they were to only sell Free Speech vinyl in Asian markets. This was quickly breached as I discovered that units were being pushed in European stores. Fine, I can deal with that. But when I tried to collect my royalties, they started donkey-dicking around saying that they had already disbursed payment to an agent that was responsible for remittance to by bank account. Of course, like a '08 gas-guzzling Hummer, I ain't buying that iddish. After some strong arming through email, they agreed to transfer the money. Otherwise, I'd hafta hit up Priceline, fly to Japan, and get my Godzilla-on. Tokyo would be on fi-yah! Anyway, my Yen should be arriving sometime next week. If not, you'll hear about it...on CNN.

Free Speech in the Place to Be...

If you're in the Los Angeles area during the 4th, this is the event to attend. Bobby, U.B., and I will be performing alongside the '87 Stick Up Kids. Shit's gonna rock like my man Charles Dutton. Be there!

Newness

Fresh out the oven, some unmixed iddish off the "Big in Japan" project (Micah James, Bobby, and I):

Ladies Love Big Beads

I'm telling you fellas...give your mojo some momentum and find the biggest, blatantly oversized beads you can get your hands on and rock them sons of bitches till the wheels fall off. From Whoopi Goldberg to Rachel Hunter to random dimepieces, I get thrown props daily for my anti-bling. Wait till you see my new joints for fall/winter. I swear I got the solar system on a string.

The Rufi Song

Real talk, ladies, watch your drinks. I've had too many female friends get doped up by sketchy dudes with unsavory intentions. Some insight on an experimental track Ro and I just cooked up: Free Speech - The Rufi Song (snippet).

DISCLAIMER: Please note that the views expressed in this song reflect neither those of Free Speech nor Ro Blvd. This is purely some FYI, educational iddish...

Show Pics

Some pics I dug up from a show a while back of myself, Trek Life, and Champ (Move.meant) respectively. I was embarassingly chubs back then (a sloppy 290 vs. a lean 245 now); swapping out "hip hop" for "food" on my t-shirt would have been fitting.

Young Free Speech + "I Got You"

Me as a young buck. Reminds me of some iddish I did way back... "I Got You" (prod. by DJ Forge).

Bicep Appreciation Post

Yeah, yeah, yeah, a bit narcissistic, i know, but having finally achieved 20-inchers, I felt it necessary to give myself a pat on the back. Ironically, due to flexibility constraints, I can't even touch my back.
