~ Kelly Clarkson is heated! She wanted to release her song
“Already Gone” as a third single, but she has been stopped due
to Beyonce’s “Halo.” B and C have the same beat thanks to a
producer. The producer gave them both the same track. They
both wrote to it and they both put their versions on their albums.
Kelly wanted to release it even though
Beyonce had hers, but her record label shot
it down. Here are the songs. Let me know
which you like best.
~ Kanye the new king of pop? according to him its only natural.
Kanye goes on to say “ You know everyone loves and respects
Michael but times change. It’s so sad to
see Michael gone but it makes a path for
a new King of Pop and I’m willing to take
that on. There’s nobody who can match me
in sales and in respect so it only makes sense for me to take over
Michael’s crown and become the new King. First there was Elvis, then there was Michael, now in the 21st century its Kanye’s
time to rule. I have nothing but respect for Michael but someone
needs to pick up where he left off and there’s nobody better than
me to do that. I am the new King of Pop. ”
~ They are saying now that Chris and Rihanna are now back together, at least for a
night. According to the paps at the New York Post, the
former couple may be a couple once again. They claim
they spent this weekend together in a Midtown New
York hotel and tried to hide it. According to law issued
in California and the conditions of a restraining order
forbid this interation. You think that stopped these two
volatile lovebirds? The guys reportedly checked into the
Trump International Hotel & Tower on Friday. People at
the hotel snitched on them, saying that they spent a full
two days together in the sprawling luxury hotel. There
are no photographs of the pair, but this is what they are
saying. The report also claims Chris and Rihanna
employed several tactics to throw off paparazzi. This
includes decoys and other things. WOW. That sounds
like a bad way to live.
~ GROUPIE LOVE—JAY-Z TO DISS THE GAME? There is a big, fat ol’ exclusive rumor right here. I am getting word that Jay-Z will
be responding to The Game with a scathing, super epic
song called “Groupie Love (My Fan Club).” The song, if
it comes true, will be the first true reply that Jay-Z offers
The Game, who has dogged Jay-Z pretty bad. But in recent
interviews, Jay has laughed that off. I just want to see this
drama unfold. There is a second part to this rumor. I am
hearing the Kanye will definitely ride with Jay-Z on this
instead of remaining neutral. You know, ‘Ye is cool with
The Game too. Interesting, because The Game has been
defending Kanye’s use of the Autotune. Where will this
go? Nobody knows
~ In life, Michael Jackson sold millions of records. In death, he's spawned about as
many rumors. Was he murdered? Was he gay? Did he
really father those kids? Nothing's off-limits - not even
his corpse. The obsession over Jackson's body heated up
before it was cold. One report said he was frozen for later
testing; another that the gold coffin at his memorial was
empty. Motown founder Berry Gordy had to deny a story
he was hiding the star's body in his family crypt at Forest
Lawn Cemetery. The National Enquirer claimed the Jackson family was afraid "organized criminals" would steal
the remains. Then there's the ultimate intrigue: that Jackson
is actually still alive. The wacko concept has spawned sites
such as MichaelJacksonHoax-Death.com. The latest gnarl in the family tree involves
a 25-year-old Norwegian rapper and dancer named Omer Bhatti, who has emerged as
a possible love child. The speculation - which first surfaced in 2002 - was fueled by
Bhatti's presence in the front row of the memorial service and his
striking resemblance to Jackson's 7-year-old son, Blanket.
~ Simpson faced a possible life sentence with parole on the
kidnapping charge, and the robbery convictions carry mandatory
prison time. On December 5, Simpson was sentenced to a total of
33 years in prison with the possibility of parole in about 9 years.
Simpson’s lawyers plan to appeal, in an effort to gain eligibility
for a mitigated sentence, giving parole sooner. A hearing has been
set for August 3, 2009. He is serving his sentence at the Lovelock
Correctional Center in Lovelock, Nevada as Inmate #1027820. has had this to say about
his lovely stay.
“ My cellmate is nuts. He’s a killer, and he hates me. He told me that he is in prison for
murder and rape, and he hates my guts because I got away with murdering my ex-wife.
He’s told me he is going to strangle me in my sleep the first chance he gets. ”
~ But, rumor around St. Louis is Nelly
has kicked masked-man Slo Down out of
the St. Lunatics. We hear there are some
issues in the camp that make or may not
have to do with money. Take that how you
want to take it. Nelly’s little brother City
Spud is home from prison, and rumor has
it likely to replace Slo Down. Not sure
if that’s the case or not, but I didn’t even
know dude’s name until I got this rumor.
He was “dude with the mask on.”
~ Blogxilla let us know that Nicki Minaj has cut all ties w/ Gucci Mane and his
manager Deb Antney to go with Cortez & Gee (who also
manage Young Jeezy, Kanye, & Drake) Cortez & Gee told
Nicki that she can’t have ties to Gucci Mane and be on
tour with Young Jeezy. Think about it, you couldn’t tour
with Biggie and be down w/ Pac’s team now could you?
They told Nicki that Wayne would not f**k with her if she
had an outside manager. Now If you didn’t know Nicki
sings and raps and young money promised her she could
do both, but they have no intention of letting her sing
because of Wayne’s focus on his girlfriend singer Shanell
Brown (D Woods sister) who also recently signed with
Young Money records. and with Drake dropping out of
Lil Wayne’s Young Money Presents: The America’s Most
Wanted Music Festival tour due to a torn ACL (a ligament
in the knee) Nicki Minaj has been added to the tour line up
and will be performing cuts from her mixtape Beam Me Up Scotty.
~ in case you didn’t hear, Lil Wayne is going to be working with Madonna on her
greatest hits album called Celebration. It’s been long confirmed that
Madonna wrangled Lil Wayne for
a collaboration of sorts, and more
details have recently emerged .I’m
not sure how I feel about this. I
hope it doesn’t backfire especially
with the rumor that Lil Wayne’s
rock album may never see the light
of day. The song they did together
is called “Revolver.” . Not be
confused with the recent Weezy
single ‘Hot Revolver,’ the Madonna
track ‘Revolver,’ will be one of two new songs featured on the new two disc collection
of Madonna’s.
~ Sisqo from Dru Hill apparently has a 10-year-old son in
Switzerland, according to Swiss press. These rumors don’t
come without some serious allegations either. They are
suggesting that Sisqo had the kid with a girl that was 14
at the time of conception. Reports are saying that Sis and
the girl met after a show in Zurich in 1999. She is now 25
and is now battling for that paternity paper. The Maury test
showed that Sisqo is indeed the father of the kid. He hasn’t
commented
~ I’m not sure what Miley was thinking behind this. But,
she has a song called “Party In The USA” and there is this
weird lyric that goes as follow:
This is all so crazy, everybody seems so famous
My tummys turnin and Im feelin kinda homesick
Too much pressure and Im nervous
Thats when the taxi man turned on the radio
And the Jay-Z song was on
And the Jay-Z song was on
And the Jay-Z song was on
Well, I am hearing that Miley has changed the lyric from
“Jay-Z” to “Kanye.” They are claiming that this leaked
version of the song is a “demo” and that the “real” one
references ‘Ye. What is going on here and is she trying to
start a beef?

5. Down with the King
Let me start off by saying that we have
surely lost the greatest entertainer of
all time. My list this month is a tribute
to a legend. It’s impossible to narrow
it own to only 10 when th is man has
contributed so much feel good music
to the world. This list should at least
be the TOP 50 songs by MJ! Nevertheless I ‘ll share with you 10 songs
that I have witnessed while DJing in
clubs all over the country that made the
crowd go bananas.

Giving You More Kane for the
Buck
Interviewer: The "L" Man
Edited by: Life Saver
“ I felt that based on a lot of what
my brother did since he was rappin’ before me. That motivated
me, not in a competition way but
in a rappin’ way. “
DS: What’s going down with you man? We remember
you with the System Buckaz Camp.
Big Kane: Yeah before then I was with MTO Liquors
up in New York City , then I was with Full Fledge and
with my partner we had Bigga Figa. I’ve been out here
for a minute.
DS: I’ve caught you free stylin’ a couple of times and
I always knew I would have to sit down and talk with
you about some of your projects. How long have you
been in the game?
Big Kane: I would say roughly 10 to 13 years.
DS: When did you know that you could rap?
Big Kane: I felt that based on a lot of what my brother
did since he was rappin’ before me. That motivated
me, not in a competition way but in a rappin’ way.
DS: Just thought I would ask that because I’ve seen
you with different camps and now you’re doing your
own thing. You go some projects coming out and you
let me hear some of you stuff. Talk to me about your
projects and what’s going on with you now?
Big Kane: Right now I am going into it head first
because I know I got to make it happen. I got some
strong winners on my side.
DS: Now the title of your new project is “More Kane
for the Buck”.
Big Kane: Yes sir
DS: Now everybody knows your name is Kane so we
“ I like to let them know the sun is
gonna shine and they’re not forgotten. “
M O N T H S
gonna take that how you want us to take it. [lol]
Big Kane: If there is another he’s a phony. I got that
name from my Grandmamma when I used to sneak out
the house into the sugar cane in the back of the house
behind Holly Brook. I got so many ass whippings behind
that name.
DS: So why did you name your project “More Kane for
the Buck”. It sounds like you have something to prove.
That’s an aggressive title.
Big Kane: It kind of speaks for itself. It ain’t stepped
on, it’s pure. It is what it is.
DS: That’s what’s up. Now one thing about your beats is
you got some bass laced tracks that be bout to blow your
speakers out. Who does your production?
Big Kane: I got a little bit of everybody on this thang.
It’s a mix tape and when you hear it it’s going to make
you thirsty for more. What you heard was from the
album, but this is the mix tape so I’m doing it from the
hood.
DS: Who you got featured on the mix tape?
Big Kane: My brother Cliché, bald headed Louis, my
main man Big Maine, Big J, my bother from another
mother, Linnie so it’s going down like that.
DS: A lot of rapper rap about what they see or what
“ Unity, the unity got to by tight.
Like my main man Shout Out said
a long time ago we got to scrap
the crab pot. We can do it if we all
stick together and stop trying to pull
each other down. Put that negative
energy into a positive vibe then it
will work. ”
they know, but you actually have family members locked
behind bars for a number of years. Do you want to talk
to me about that? I know it’s personal, but can you speak
on that?
Big Kane: Yes I got my older brother Keith who died in
prison in “91” and my other brother Gary is doing 22 ½
and my little brother Tank just caught 15. So I’m tryin’ to
break that curse to get them up off of me and from around
me.
DS: Do they have an effect on your rappin’ when you do
your projects?
Big Kane: Yeah that is a big part of it. I like to let them
know the sun is gonna shine and they’re not forgotten.
DS: Yeah we hear your music, but people just don’t
know what goes on in other people’s lives.
Big Kane: You know everybody got a story to tell and
this is mine.
DS: I’ve heard he songs and I love the songs, but when
am I going to see you on stage?
Big Kane: I’m gonna crank back up after everybody gets
a taste of this mix tape and then we’ll see if we can get
booked. I’m not quite ready now, I’m still tryin’ to work
some things out my way instead of somebody else way.
DS: What is that single you got with Big Mann also
known as Christian Blaq, for the radio?
Big Kane: Same Thang.
DS: I really like that track cuz it’s clean and it’s commercial, but it’s still street. We have a lot of independent
labels in town and we have a lot of people sayin’ they
getting’ signed. Since you took a year to step back from
the game what is your view on the reason why there is
nobody signed in a big way?
Big Kane: Unity, the unity got to by tight. Like my
main man Shout Out said a long time ago we got to
scrap the crab pot. We can do it if we all stick together
and stop trying to pull each other down. Put that negative energy into a positive vibe then it will work.
DS: So basically attitudes have kept us behind. We
have a Florida Music Conference coming up. Are you
going to make your way there?
Big Kane: 9 out of 10 I will have worked something
out. I got somebody on my neck about that now. So
I’m gonna have to do that.
DS: Are you under new management?
Big Kane: The label is Big House Ent. It’s a family
thing. I got Isaiah Brown from MIA Mgmt. and Fella
from the Funk Ryders.
DS: I know you are not a person who chatters on and
on, but I want to thank you for taking time out for the
Streetz of Duval and it is the 1st time you been on the
cover of Duval Streetz. That speaks big things and we
are expecting big thing form Big House Ent. When
you blow up holla at your boy when you spending that
promo money.
Big Kane: “You know I got you.”
DS: You got some shout outs on the way out the door?
Big Kane: A shout out to the whole SB, Jag, J-Baby,
Wizard, Mannie. Rest in Peace to Nellis and my home
boy Cory, my brother Keith C., Cliché, Sausage Head
and them fellas over at Hustle House. It’s a movement
you know.
DS: I never go back into the interview at this point, but
I heard a track on your album about Cory.
Big Kane: That’s like a sequel to the one I put out last
year. Every album I’m gonna put a song on there for my
home boy.
DS: That’s what’s it all about. You gonna hold it down
for Duval, Big Kane in the building ladies and gentlemen. I introduce to you the next rapper for the new
millennium he’s comin’ with “More Kane for the Buck”
so y’all look out for it. Remember Big L. told you
first….give me my damn credit. I bring you exclusives
from the street. Big Kane do you have a MySpace
page?
Big Kane: No I had to get rid of it cuz the girls were
trackin’ me down.
DS: This is your boy Big L brining you the streets and
I’m out.
“ You know everybody got a story
to tell and this is mine. “

7. F E A T U R E D
A R T I S T S
Be careful what you sign and keep
everybody out of your personal
game room.
Traffik
Goin hard on the streetz
Interviewer: Duval Streetz
Written and Edited by: Life Saver
DS: I’m gonna start off with this question; “Traffik,
where in the hell did you come from dog?” It’s like you
popped up out of nowhere.
Traffik: Not out of nowhere bro, I went into this whole
sh*t the wrong way. I started out doin’ shows at
colleges in New York and at The Apollo for the Justo
Mixtape Award Show. I was out there instead of home,
so it would appear like I popped out of nowhere. I’ve
been here, just no buzz.
DS: I was interviewing Mob Boss, CEO of Hustle
House, a few months ago and he was telling me that he
was diggin’ your style of making music. That is very
rare that a rapper mentions another artist during his
interview. Do you know him personally?
Traffik: Yeah, we haven’t linked up yet or anything,
but we speak on the phone every now and again to
holler. You know G sh*t, nothing too serious. And that
was a big shout out too. Big shout out to them ni**as
over there at Hustle House. Then ni**as be over there
grindin’ buddy.
DS: Everyone seems to be talking about you, but very
few know how you actually look. Was that your plan of
how you wanted to do things, under the radar?
Traffik: Yeah, under the radar because ni**as in the
city actual reaction to local ni**as as oppose to ni**as
from out of town is crazy. Lil Boosie and Webbie I
“ I wanted to shed a little light on
this sh*t out here. Ni**as out
here really like lyin’ cuz that drug
sh*t sounds cool. I wanted to give
these guys the day after effect,
meaning the bills you didn’t pay
after you went trickin’, the lawyer
fees or your family in need. The
miseducation of our children, that
sh*t is not cool “
feel, blew up right out here, tore the town up and ni**as
were really showin’ love before they got on. So I try to
appear as if I’m from out of town and show them later
who I am. After they like me like I’m from out of town,
then it’s too late to care if they know I’m from here or not
because they would have already given the cd a chance.
Just a little marketing heads up for ni**as out there.
DS: Who are you signed with as far as management?
Traffik: Brick Management based out of Atlanta, real
people. Richard Skinner and Amp, they do a lot for me.
DS: How did y’all hook up?
Traffik: We knew each other for a good little while, and
then he left for Atlanta and had had a lot of relationships.
By the time we met up again I had got better at rappin’ so
we linked up and we’re going for that deal now.
DS: Well you have a good Manager and street promotions. I had a chance to speak with Richard Skinner
briefly and he seems to be a genuine business man and
sounds like he knows what he is talking about.
Traffik: He has been at it for a long time, years of working man. All the beats on the album I went through him
man, so I urge people to feel free to hit him up and get
some of that production.
DS: There is a small rumor that you actually do have a
record deal your about to sign. Is that true?
Traffik: I have a few things on the table around me,
nothing definite though so that is what it is.
DS: Well if you don’t have a deal yet, it is because
they haven’t listened to track #4, “Prada’s” or track #5,
“Push”. I have to tell you, I called your Manager on
Sunday morning while I was at the gym because of those
songs. I could not get past the track called “Push”. Do
you get responses from those songs a lot?
Traffik: Yeah man, Mobb Boss’ favorite is “Prada’s”.
That’s what made buddy get in contact with me. But,
Yeah “Push” is a big record man. That’s one of them
records I don’t wanna waste, feel me?
DS: The CD you have out is called “The Red Pill” (Triple
Stack Edition). Why did you use that title for your project?
Traffik: Because of the vision I had for the CD. I
Wanted to shed a little light on this sh*t out here.
Ni**as out here really like lyin’ cuz that drug sh*t
sounds cool. I wanted to give these guys the day after
effect, meaning the bills you didn’t pay after you went
trickin’, the lawyer fees or your family in need. The
miseducation of our children, that sh*t is not cool and
they need to know a ni**a that used to do that sh*t they
rappin’ bout don’t feel strongly about that sh*t and that
sh*t is not real. I was sellin’ that sh*t to pay bills not
run around the city hot doggin’ and sh*t. Real rap.
DS: Where have your performed on stage?
Traffik: Apollo, Lehman College, TSI, Hip Hop Hell,
by the time they read this, Aqua July 4th 09, Lavilla
parking lot and Endo Exo.
DS: Since you got in the game, what is one of the lessons you’ve learned?
Traffik: Be careful what you sign and keep everybody
out of your personal game room.
DS: What is the next move for the man they call
“Traffik”?
Traffik: Radio, gotta get that buzz right.
DS: Do you have any shout outs on the way out the
door?
Traffik: Kenny Ca$h, Shawn Cummings Pheezie R.I.P.
Perry the whole m.p.m. team My guy Jamel Johnson,
Dre, Cleveland and 45th street, Cleveland Arms, Grand
Park, Flag Street, Dakota, Petaford Big Ben, THE
FIREMEN DJS, Koolaid, Bigga Rankins, DJ Tru Story
151, Ivory Orr, Ben, Vernon Dime Ent. Chris Slade
Bloodhound, Pokey, 4 Nickel, Party Carl T-roy, Lajuan,
Spivey, Larry, yak, KOOL all my guys man, they know
who they are.
DS: How do people get in contact with you for booking
or features?
Traffik: traffik@tmail.com and for beats, send that to
promise904@gmail.com or the on the CD.
I started out doin’ shows at colleges in New York and at The
Apollo for the Justo Mixtape
Award Show. I was out there instead of home, so it would appear
like I popped out of nowhere. I’ve
been here, just no buzz.

8. Crutch
Creating a Powerhouse Movement
Interviewer: Duval
Streetz Newz
Written and Edited by:
Life Saver
DS: Crutchfield. You’ve come
on the seen of the City and got
straight to work didn't you?
I’ve never even heard of you
one minute and the next minute your name starts poppin
off left and right. What's up?
Crutch: Grinding is the best
way I can sum it up. I went
hard, I came back to Jacksonville with a mind set that I was
gonna put on for the city and
it went down just like that. I
mean, tell me where else in da
‘ville are you gonna go and
find the baddest dancers and the baddest girls in the city
all in one spot. Exactly, you can’t think of one. Duval
Knights ENT and STACXS ENT, we the streets right
now and it ain’t just me. I put my whole team on like
my main man Red, Shanks, P.I.G. (from Da Dirt Records) and a gang of others.It isn’t hard to get sh*t right
when you got a team of people working with you that
you know. This city has got to learn that our strength is
in numbers. We stand united and if we come together
we accomplish more. This is just the tip of the iceberg,
just wait until 2010.
DS: Where are you originally from playa?
Crutch: Duval County, I grew up in Moncrief Village
4657 Flynn Ct. I grew up watching Blood Raw and
Uncut.
DS: Rumor has it you were a “Big Time” NFL star that
recently retired. How true is that and if that is true, why
in the hell did you leave that great job?
Crutch: I wouldn’t use the words “big time”. I did my
thing while I was playin’. I built up a decent fan base,
but football is one of those things you can’t do forever.
You have to understand the NFL really stands for Not
For Long. You have to get your money and get out. I
wasn’t ready to retire, but a couple of injuries and politics forced me to. Do I miss playin’, hell yes but I’m
happy doing what I’m doin’. Now at the end of the day
the only thing that matters is the money. I’m making
money so it ain’t no love loss, just great memories and a
whole lot of prestige.
DS: You’ve started taking on leadership roles in the city
when it comes to labels and artist. Tell me a little abut
that.
Crutch: I’ve mainly been tryin’ to just pull everybody
together and get this city like the ATL where everybody calabs together to make money. One thing labels
andartist need to understand here is that you’re only
as strong as your strongest contact. It helps a lot if
you have somebody who can pick up the phone and
talk to executives at different records labels, magazine
etc. That’s what I bring to the table. This ain’t New
York where you can do downtown and walk in major
labels’ office. This is the South so you have to create a
demand first, and then shop your product. Marketing is
the key in this business. I try to educate and work with
as many artist and labels as I can. I work with artist
all over the Southeast. They all want the same thing;
“exposure”. Somebody has to step up to the challenge
in Jacksonville. The streets talk.
DS: I believe you were working with Dank World Ent.
when I met you. I believe that is not the case today. Do
you care to comment on the recent
and abrupt change of motion?
Crutch: I still do things with Dank
World. They are still my people.
One thing about business you can’t
stay complacent. You have to stay
busy. I own clubs, I promote, I
work with a lot of artist, labels
and Ent. Companies. I can’t limit
myself to just one thing. I f*ck with
everybody and everybody f*ck with
me. I want everybody in this city to
work together. That’s what I stand
for; “Let’s all eat”. So many
people may see me f*ckin’ with
Hustle House, Da Dirt, Loyalty, Po
Boy, MSG Records and be like; I
thought he was with Dank World. I
just stay movin’. It’s about money
and it’s a grind everyday out here.
The decisions you make on a daily
basis influences your future. I’m
still down with Dank World; they’re
on the right track.
DS: It seems like artist, managers and labels in this city
change like the sun rising and setting. Why can’t we
seem to get a format and stick with the plan in the city?
Crutch: You’ve got to be strong out here. If you’re a
boss out here, you’ve got to run your team right. You
have to teach your people how to take the good with the
bad because when it rains, it pours. If you a real boss and
you’ve raised some men up under your belt, your team
will weather the storm whatever the circumstances may
be. The main reason ni**as fall out is over money and
girls; that’s bullsh*t. We can’t be falling out over money
or girls, especially not girls. You can change them like
clothes. Everybody has to stand up and be accountable
for their own actions, so I don’t think it’s the format. The
person on top has to be a strong leader and a real boss.
DS: Recently I found out that you and your partner own
your own night at Mascara’s. How did that come about?
Crutch: I was in the club a couple of months ago and I
liked the setup, so I approached the owner about doing a
listening party there for some of my artists. I was going
to invite a couple of majors to come down and listen to
some music etc etc. The owner liked me and my proposal
and asked why I don’t I help him here and that’s how it
started. It was me and my main man, Red first then my
partner, Shanks came in the following week and the rest
is history. Saturday nights at Mascara is the hottest place
in the city right now. The August line up of artist that
will be appearing there on Saturdays is stupid. I ain’t
even gonna drop no names, I’m gonna just let the radio
and the flyers do the talking. One of the owners (Big
John) has become a good friend of mine and has taught
me a lot about the club business. It’s hard to find people
in the business you can trust, but I will say he is one of
them. Me and my partner Shanks put a lot of time into
getting the club bammin’ like it is now. We ain’t goin’ no
where.
DS: Is the adult entertainment business different from
running a regular entertainment business and if so, how?
Crutch: Hell yeah. Money changes hand in the adult
entertainment business way more often than regular business. You have to watch everybody. I would compare
it to the movie “Casino”, where everybody is watching
everybody. Then you have the girls because you working
around sexy ass females all day and night; it ain’t hard
to get off focus. To be honest bro, it’s just what you this
it is; “Paradise”. Come to my club and you will think
you’re in a….. Dime pieces everywhere, Stallions to be
exact. F*ck with me and you’ll have your own stable in
no time. Real talk.
DS: What has been your craziest moment since you
have decided to get into the entertainment business?
Crutch: What has been the craziest moment? There
isn’t just one, everyday is “party, party, party let’s all
get wasted”, real talk. You have to go hard or go home
and I throw parties and they all be loose. We’ve done
did it all; big pool parties, late night hot tubs, partying
until the sun comes up. I can’t pick one thing out. I’ve
been out here for a while. I played pro ball for eight
years before this so I’ve lived a life, feel me? Tell you
what, the next event Duval Knight Ent. does, be there
and I will make sure ya’ll see some sh*t ya’ll ain’t seen
here yet. I really do this sh*t cuz, YouTube can vouch
for that.
DS: Have you ever though about returning to the NFL?
Crutch: I gave it some thought but at the end of the day
I’m still puttin’ up athlete numbers, so I’m good. Besides it’s that easy anyway. I’ve been livin’ a rockstar
lifestyle for a while now. If I wanted to stop, I couldn’t.
The streets won’t tlet me. People love our events and
every time my club is packed or my events are successful, I feel like I just intercepted a pass and took it down
the sideline for six. The only football you will see
me play again is on the ESPN classics. One side note
though, I will be getting honored for my accomplishments at Clemson on Sept. 25th. I believe at one of the
home games and I still get all the perks from being a
Philadelphia Eagle Alumni. Life is good.
DS: What is your partner in crime’s name?
Crutch: Kenneth Shanks
DS: How did you guys team up?
Crutch: Da Mighty JA. We work so good together the
Lord had to make it possible. That’s my dog, we’ve
been through ups and downs, but we’re still standing. Now we’re up and we ain’t lookin’ back. We do
Mascara’s, we own our own studio and have a couple of
clubs. We doin’ big things now. If I told you everything, this interview would have to be continued.
DS: What is the next “Big” step for your company?
Crutch: The studio we’re building and the clubs we’re
purchasing, right we have 6400 sq. ft. building we are
designing our studio in. I’m talkin’ about the place is
goin’ be flat screen’d out. Live You Tube feeds, separate editing room, green room, photography studio; all
that sh*t is goin’ down. Naw, this ain’t no game. Me
and main man got one goal in mind. “Let’s get it”.
DS: What is your opinion on the loss of Michael Jackson?
Crutch: He was truly a star, but more than that what
he and his brothers accomplished in the late 60’s early
70’s helped expose African American culture to the
restof the country. The whole Motown, Barry Gordy
and Jackson 5 opened a lot of doors. Not only in music
for African Americans, but also in basic civil liberties.
Mike was accepted by all nationalities world wide. We
can’t forget how many ethnic stigmatisms that Mike
help tear down. We’re not only minus one great entertainer, but also one great humanitarian who did a lot for
all races.
DS: If someone, after reading this interview would like
to get with you, how would they go about that?
Crutch: Call me at (904) 487-8043 or hit me up on
myspace.com/DuvalKnights. (period is on the end),
myspace.com/DuvalKnights or e-mail at crutchfield904@gmail.com.
DS: Do you have any shout outs on the way out the
door buddy?
Crutch: I want everybody out there doin’ their thing, if
you wanna take it to the next level holla at me or Stacks
and we will make it happen. If you already on the
next level, let’s do it even bigger. GO HARD OR GO
HOME!

Creating a Powerhouse
Movement
Interviewer: Duval Streetz
Written and Edited by: Life Saver
DS: Shanks, thanks for taking the time to
speak with us. What the hell is goin’ on
playa?
Shanks: Tryin’ to stay up man, that’s all.
DS: I met you the first time at Dank
World. You were doin’ some stuff with
the group.
Shanks: Yeah, we were trying to put
together a starting point for this big
movement.
DS: When I spoke with you, you were
trying to form a movement for artist
around the Jacksonville area. Do you
want to go into that for our readers?
Shanks: Well, not just artist, it’s for all
in the entertainment biz. Basically it’s just sayin’ we can do the same. A lot of people
in the industry like to doubt the South talking about they don’t feel his music. We can
adjust to what ever, just like the North, West or whoever.
DS: What has it been like working with the artists here in town?
Shanks: Aw man, everybody has different minds. That’s good and all, but we have
to stay focused. You know the devil stays busy, so I just try to keep everybody on the
positive and away from the negative.
DS: Could you tell me some of the different groups you have worked with?
Shanks: Dank World, Gutta Black, F.A.M., Duval Mafia, Dis-n-Dat, House of Rep.,
Nephew & Hustle House, Solo, LooneyBenz, Baby Mama and da crew, Jericho, Trap
Life Records, 205, Made Money, Vandetta Nation, BrandNew Pro., J Gutta, LiLA D. ,
T-Rone, Grad A Ent. DJ Bigga Beats, DJ Spin, Mr. 904, J. T. Money, D. G Yola, Slip
n Slide, Eastside Boys, Def Jam, Biggmann, J Frost, 904 Fashions, Street Hustle and
many, many more.
DS: What do you think has hindered Duval artists from getting to the next level?
Shanks: Motivation, a lot of them have to look for some kind of motivation to keep it
hype. A lot of them don’t know how to push a movement, you got to be dedicated and
keep the path clear of what it is you want.
DS: We have many excuses why people are not getting signed here in Jacksonville, but
I think we all are responsible for our own success. Do you agree?
Shanks: Oh yeah, I think everyone thinks it’s suppose to happen overnight and easily
loose focus.
DS: Well, enough of that. You and Crutchfield have formed an entertainment power
house. Where did that idea start?
Shanks: Basically just getting back from what we were doin’. Goin’ partying, throwing
money everywhere, and spending big dollars at the clubs. Now it’s like getting’ money
from these clubs and one door led to many doors. It’s amazing.
DS: What is the name of company you and Crutch have?
Shanks: I’m STACXS Ent., but we associated with Duval Knights and Street Hustle
DVD.
DS: I see ya’ll have a hot night at Mascaras. How is that coming along?
Shanks: It’s what we do. We turn simple clubs into Terradomes. We hype any club
and politely move on.
DS: What is the next step for the company playa?
Shanks: I’m opening a huge studio where we do it all for anybody and everybody in
the entertainment biz. We’ll do photos, video, docs, beats, duplication, graphic design,
laser printing, group gear or whatever. Come see me and my family, you might leave
with a deal. I have so many people waiting to hear what’s new.
DS: How can people get a hold of you?
Shanks: stacxsentertainment.com, stacxs101@myspace.com, stacxs101@gmail.com,
or just call the studio at (904) 619-1365.
DS: Do you have any shout outs?
Shanks: Shout out to all my chicks and ni**as who do it big. Duval Let’s Get It!!!!!!!
Peace….

10. RUMORS & GOSSIP
Michael Jackson: The King of Pop
By: Lil Rudy and Jasmine the Assistant
( lilrudyru@yahoo.com , jasminetheassistant@gmail.com )
O
n June 25, 2009 the legendary Michael Joseph Jackson suffered an apparent cardiac arrest and later died in L.A California, just
two months shy of his 51st birthday. With Michael's sudden death it left his family and the media with plenty of unanswered questions such as: Who gains full custody of the children? What was the cause of his death? Was it accident or murder?
Reporters say that around 11:30 am, Michael received a Demerol shot and 30 minutes later suffered a cardiac arrest. According to
LAPD, they were not able to release the cause of Jackson's death until autopsy results came back the next day, when it was then announced that neither heart disease nor artery blockage caused the singers death, and their were no signs of trauma or foul play. The
Jackson family, however, were still looking for answers and hired a private pathologist who completed the second, more thorough autopsy. These results found Michael's stomach empty, aside from partially dissolved pills he had taken before receiving the Demerol
injection that stopped his heart. Shortly after, Latoya Jackson released a statement to TMZ claiming her brother had been murdered by
the in-house physician Dr. Murry, who apparently wasn't certified through UCLA as he had persuaded the Jackson family to believe,
meaning he was never authorized to administer the medications in the first place. With this new information surfacing, it's no surprise
that the LAPD cant locate or get in touch with Dr. Murry.
Was Michale bankrupt when he died? According to Latoya, he had money hidden in the house along with his will, which she was
able to recover before the cops arrived at the home of the late
superstar. Not to mention the one billion dollars in assets, which was left to his mother Catherine, after his
debt was taken out (an estimated 500 million dollars). There is also a cloud of uncertainty over how much
of his own music Michale owned the rights to through his partnership with Sony, and what will become of
the invaluable masters to all the Beatles music (which they want back now that Michale is deceased and
has turn everything over to his mother).
What about the children? Although Michale's will stated that his mother would gain full custody of his
kids and assets, several people disagree with this decision and are contesting it in court. Debbie Rowe,
the mother of Prince and Paris, has asked for 100 million dollars in cash or full custody of her kids, even
though she signed over her parental rights to Michale at the time of the children's birth. Also it has been
discovered that Blanket, the youngest of the three Jackson children, is a "test-tube baby", and not really
the biological offspring of Michale. With this information floating through the media, Blanket's biological
mother, who donated her eggs to Michale, has stated her intentions of gaining full custody of her child. It's
so sad what money will do to people's morals. Even the girl from the Thriller video has come forward with
accusations, claiming she was never fully compensated for her role in the legendary music production.
Last but not least: Was Michale Jackson the King of Entertainment?
There are no rumors or gossip about that! Record sales and sold out shows around the world are enough
evidence to make this a fact: Michale Jackson IS and will ALWAYS be the King of Pop, the King of Entertainment, and the King of Record Sales.

12. Micheal Jackson
Man In The Mirror
By: Liltera R. Williams
T
he sparkly glove, the penny loafers, the hat, the white
socks, the high water pants… all trademark items
associated with the biggest figure in pop culture, Michael Jackson. He is arguably the most controversial and
breathtaking entertainer of all time, or as Time Magazine
put it, “a star of records, radio, [and] rock video. A oneman rescue team for the music business. A songwriter
who sets the beat for a decade. A dancer with the fanciest
feet on the street. A singer who cuts across all boundaries
of taste and style and color too.”
Michael Joseph Jackson was born on August 29, 1958
in Gary, Indiana to Joseph and Katherine Jackson, the
seventh of nine children (six boys and three girls). At age
five, he made his musical debut as the youngest member
of the original Jackson 5, a quintet featuring Michael and
his brothers Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Jackie. The group
was signed to Motown Records from 1968 to 1975 and
during that tenure with the major label made history by
becoming the first musical act to have its first four singles
reach the number one spot on the top 100 singles list.
Those singles included the well-known sing-a-longs, “I
Want You Back”, “ABC”, “The Love You Save” and “I’ll
Be There.” The Jackson 5 left Motown for a new deal
with CBS Records in the summer of 1975, changing their
name to simply, The Jacksons.
Michael launched his solo career in 1971, still under
the Jackson 5 umbrella. He released four solo albums
while signed to Motown. In 1978, Jackson met acclaimed
producer, Quincy Jones while starring in a musical production of The Wiz and the two teamed up for Michael’s
breakout album, Off the Wall. The album garnered four
top 10 hits, including “Don’t Stop Til’ You Get Enough,”
which lead Jackson to win a Grammy for Best Male R&B
Vocal Performance.
In 1982, Jackson released his sixth solo album, Thriller,
currently the best-selling album of all time, selling
over 50 million copies worldwide and counting. The album broke numerous records. It remained in the top 10 of
the Billboard 200 for a ground breaking 80 consecutives
weeks, spending 37 of those weeks in the number one
spot. Thriller was also the first album to have seven top
10 singles in the Billboard Hot 100 (“Wanna Be Startin’
Somethin’,” “The Girl Is Mine,” “Thriller,” “Beat It,”
“Billie Jean,” “P.Y.T,” and “Human Nature”). The album
catapulted Jackson’s career and helped establish his credits as an innovator and entertainer. The video interpretation of “Billie Jean” shattered racial obstructions when it
premiered on popular video network, MTV, making it the
first heavily rotated video featuring an African American artist. On March 25, 1983, Michael performed live
on the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever television
special, and debuted his signature dance move specified
as the “moonwalk,” which is also exhibited in the video
that showcases Jackson dancing around town and on
top of syncopated lights flashing to the beat of his feet.
Unexpectedly, the video for “Thriller” broke the mold
for the visual interpretation of song when it premiered on
MTV as a 14-minute long mini horror film. It later won a
Grammy for Best Long Form Video.
Jackson’s follow-up efforts have yet to reach the
successful heights of Thriller; however, they did help
to sustain his position as the King of Pop. Jackson
starred in the Francis Ford Coppola-directed 3-D film
Captain EO. It was the most expensive film produced
on a per-minute basis at the time, and was later hosted
in Disney theme parks. Disneyland featured the film in
its Tomorrowland area for nearly 11 years, while Walt
Disney World screened the film in its Epcot theme park
from 1986 to 1994.With the industry expecting another
major hit, Jackson’s first album in five years, Bad (1987),
Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995) each set historic
milestones in their own respects and proved that Jackson
could still make an impact with the release of his radio
friendly singles. His last studio album, Invincible (2001)
initiated a comeback of sorts with the simultaneous
promotion of a special 30th Anniversary celebration that
took place at Madison Square Garden in September 2001.
The televised event served as a celebration of Jackson’s
30 years as a solo artist. He premiered his new single
“You Rock My World” with a live performance and also
reunited with his brothers during a lengthy and reminiscing melody of Jackson 5 songs.
In a high-profile visit to Africa, Jackson visited several
countries, among them Gabon and Egypt. His first stop
to Gabon was greeted with a sizable reception of more
than 100,000 people in “spiritual bedlam”, some of them
carrying signs that read, “Welcome Home Michael”. In
his trip to the Ivory Coast, Jackson was crowned “King
Sani” by a tribal chief. He then thanked the dignitaries in
French and English, signed official documents formalizing his kingship and sat on a golden throne while presiding over ceremonial dances.
One of Jackson’s most acclaimed performances came
during the halftime show at Super Bowl XXVII. As the
performances began, Jackson was catapulted onto the
stage as fireworks went off behind him. As he landed
on the canvas, he maintained a motionless “clenched
fist, standing statue stance”, dressed in a gold and black
military outfit and sunglasses; he remained completely
motionless for several minutes while the crowd cheered.
He then slowly removed his sunglasses, threw them
away and began to sing and dance. His routine included
four songs: “Jam”, “Billie Jean”, “Black or White” and
“Heal the World”. It was the first Super Bowl where the
audience figures increased during the half-time show, and
was viewed by 135 million Americans alone; Jackson’s
Dangerous album rose 90 places up the album chart
Jackson’s personal life eventually began to overshadow
his musical achievements. In 2005, he faced child sexual
abuse allegations for the second time and endured the extremities and allegations of the public. Jackson was later
found not guilty and cleared of all charges. He departed
the U.S. to begin a new life away from the public and
to further develop a relationship with his three children,
Prince Michael Jackson, Paris Katherine Michael Jackson
and Prince Michael Jackson II, also known as “Blanket.”
However, Jackson’s name resurfaced in 2008 with the
release of two era marking compilations, Thriller 25 and
King of Pop. In March of 2009, he publicly announced
what his fans had patiently been waiting for, a comeback.
He was preparing to headline 50 scheduled performances
at London's O2 arena beginning on July 13, 2009 and
ending on March 6, 2010, 50 dates to highlight his 50
years. It would have been a masterful return.
On June 25, 2009 we lost an icon and a true musical
pioneer, but luckily, Michael Jackson was recognized
for many of his achievements before he suddenly passed
away. He was a true humanitarian who raised millions
of dollars for the 39 charities he supported, including his
Heal the World Foundation. He held The Guinness World
Record for “Most Successful Entertainer of All Time,”
was a double-inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame, won 13 Grammy Awards and sold over 750 million
records worldwide.
In the following days, the media will continue to urge
on the following unresolved matters: two marriages that
were possible publicity stunts to hide his homosexuality,
theories about his skin color and whether or not he really
had vitiligo, his numerous surgeries, the mystery of how
he was able to bear white kids and seemingly least in the
plethora of the madness but most important, the cause
of his death.But, none of that matters because today and
forever, we celebrate his legacy, attributions and the many
accomplishments he left for us to cherish in his memory.
Jackson had a notable impact on music and culture
throughout the world. He broke down racial barriers,
transformed the art of the music video and paved the
way for modern pop music in his own country. Jackson’s work, distinctive musical sound and vocal style
have influenced scores of hip hop, pop and R&B artists,
including Mariah Carey, Usher, Britney Spears, Justin
Timberlake and R. Kelly. For much of his career, he had
an “unparalleled” level of worldwide influence over the
younger generation through his musical and humanitarian
contributions.
May he rest in peace, respectfully.

17. Fathers Teach Your Children
How To Survive
It is a wise father that knows his
own child
By William and Sean Jackson
O
ur young men are being taken away at an alarming
rate, either being killed or incarcerated. The recent
Real Talk.. Real Change, Black Male Symposium and
Boys2Men Symposium address similar issues. We see
more shootings that are claiming the lives of those who
should have a promising future ahead of them and young
black males not being responsible. Young men such as
these fell at the hands
of those who have sworn to protect and serve, young
men such as Sean Bell, Omar Edwards and DeAuntae
Farrow; they did not know who their killers were by
name, but were unable to prevent the events of their
demise. Tragic events show that fathers, grandfathers,
stepfathers and even men in ministry/clergy, those that
are mentors to young men are hard pressed to teach our
young black men survival skills to keep them from being
targets and victims. Even President Barack Obama has
challenged black fathers to step up and take on their responsibility in the lives of their children. He sets a model
for other fathers even with the added responsibilities of
his Presidential service. In a past Fathers Day speech,”If
we are honest with ourselves, we’ll admit that too many
fathers are missing – missing from too many lives and
too many homes. They have abandoned their responsibilities, acting like boys instead of men. And the foundations
of our families are weaker because of it” (Sen. Barack
Obama 2008). This comes from a man who looks like us,
has a wife and children who look like us, so no excuses
can be given against such true words even in the cases
when Bill Cosby and Rev. Jessie Jackson spoke similar
words, they were criticized but spoke similar truths.
Constitutional Rights and Religion
The constitutional right of “due process” has in some
cases been bypassed from innocent until proven guilty, to
guilty judgments and a sentences of executions.
There appears that the constitutional rights of young
black males has been violated, subjugated and denigrated
to the point of guilty and execution (figuratively). The
first part of Ephesians 6:4 says, "Fathers, don't exasperate
your children" (NIV). In other words, encourage them in
honorable actions, don’t anger them then turn them out
to a world where their lives are not taken as important
and valuable. In Proverbs 4:4 “Let thine heart retain thy
words: keep my commandments and live” (KJV). Who
would have thought these words would prove so truthful
in the 21st century. In these United States of America our
young men’s time lines are slowly diminishing; devaluing
to a point of unimportance. Across this country more and
more young men are being gunned down by those who
look like them. Fathers, our teachings to our sons must go
beyond how to ride bike, being respectful to women, the
importance of obtaining an education, going to church
for praise and worship, we have to teach our children the
lessons of life, the lessons of survival, how to stay alive
when there are those who do not value them as we should
and do.
What if fathers were more involved.
Bertrand Russell states, “The fundamental defect of
fathers is that they want their children to be a credit to
them” (1963), but how can this be if fathers are not there
to teach, guide and be a model? What has changed since
we celebrated 100 years of Fathers Day celebrations in
2009, are fathers more committed to their children, have
they resigned to the fact that they have responsibilities that require them to man up and be a father to their
children? Are there more mentors in our communities,
churches and schools? As Reggie Fulwood states, “You
could easily argue that if more men are involved in their
children’s lives crime would be down and more of our
youthespecially
young men
have more
of a sense of
direction.” I
would take
it one step
further that
if more men
did their
jobs our
young men
would not
have targets
on their
backs and
tomb stones
over them.
Personal
Fears
I fear for
my son who
is 17 years
old, I fear
that he may
die before I
do either at
the hands of
an overzealous service
revolver or
the hands
of someone
who looks
like him,
instead of a
connection
to possible
violence
there should
be a connection of
unity in
celebrating
brotherhood
and culture.
Searching
for a cure
to cancer,
diabetes, heart defects, world peace, fighting poverty and
hunger, these are the things I must teach him; to look
over his shoulder, to be mindful that some officers see
him as less than a man, a trouble maker, or possible drug
dealer, a future criminal to be, instead of a young man
with a bright future just as Sean Bell, Omar Edwards and
DeAuntae Farrow and the others we may never know
about. I fear I may not see him graduate from high school
or college, I fear that because of imposed stereotypes of
society he may not reach his destiny, but as his father it is
my duty and responsibility to teach him and make sure he
does get to where he needs to be in life.
Evidence is seen
Increasing Father Involvement by Brooke-Weiss, stated
that, “Fathers provide emotional, spiritual, and financial
involvement as a whole, bringing a stable environment to
children allowing them to develop into productive adults
and become successful in society in educational experiences.” The evidence is visible in our communities, in
our schools, in our churches and on our streets. We put
our young men’s lives at risk and others when we as men
do not take the time or the opportunity to teach how to
conduct them in public, to pull up their pants, to talk
respectfully to women, to respect authority and act with
intelligence and pride. Intelligence is not just in people
with degrees, but those that strive to improve themselves,
who are willing and eager to learn lessons of life to sur-
vive, thrive and grow; those doing positive things in our
communities, schools and churches, if many of our young
men act like thugs and gansta’s then many will be treated
as such and subjected to actions that prove deadly. Mr.
Fullwood makes a valid point in his words, “I admit that
being a black man in America or anywhere is hard, but
again, that’s no excuse for not being apart of your child’s
life.”
Teach the Word
Another important part of Ephesians 6:4 says, "Bring
them up in the training and instruction of the Lord"
(NIV). Fathers teach your sons words that empower them
with positive spiritual energies. Model and define a spirit
and Word guided life. When they have the Word in them
they will follow the Word. Teachers can’t teach it, the
government can’t teach it, the media can’t teach it, but
fathers can and must teach.
Conclusion
Pastor David Reagan (The Role of a Father), validates
a man’s role in the home and in their children’s life with
these comments, “It is due to the neglect, irresponsibility
and selfishness of a father that the home does not feel his
presence”. This lack of fatherly presence infests beyond
our homes, but also our communities and our churches. It
is past time for more fathers to stand up and make a commitment to their children.

18. Micheal Vick
Not Pursued, Even By
the Sorriest Teams In
The Legue
Written by: Joey Za Za
T
here are no teams breaking their
necks to pick up this NFL phenom.
This is a suprise to me because most of
the teams that are so agressively turning
down Vick suck really bad. I am sorry
for using the word "suck", but it is true:
Redskins? U Suck! Dolphins? U Suck!
Bengals? You know you U Suck! Buffalo Bills? U Suck very badly! Detroit?
U are so sorry you don't even suck anymore and last but not lest San Fransisco? You suck so bad we even forget you
guys are in the league. Yet and still this
sorry ass teams have the nerve to "toot"
up their noses at this "STUD"(a word
recruiters use). The fact is Vick sells tickets, Vick can run, Vick can throw, the ladies
love him, Las Vegas bookies adore him, the NFL fans deserve to have someone they can
talk about on Monday morning at work and last but not least my son loves him.
According to RACHEL COHEN, AP Sports Writer. Commissioner Roger Goodell said
Monday that Vick can immediately take part in preseason practices, workouts and meetings and can play in the final two preseason games—if he can find a team.
Once the season begins, Vick may participate in all team activities except games, and
Goodell said he would consider Vick for full reinstatement by Week 6 (Oct. 18-19) at the
latest. Two clubs that might have seemed like a logical destination—the Miami Dolphins
and Cincinnati Bengals—said they wouldn’t pursue Vick.
Bengals owner Mike Brown(notes) refers to himself as “a redeemer” and is known for
giving troubled players a second chance, or more. But Cincinnati has a full complement
of quarterbacks, and starter Carson Palmer(notes) has fully recovered from an elbow
injury that sidelined him for 12 games last season.
“When you have a situation like ours, he’s a very difficult fit,” Brown said. “Quarterbacks are like queen bees—you can only have one of them before they start stepping on
each other. And we have ours. Carson’s the guy. That’s why it just doesn’t fit for here in
a football sense.”
The Dolphins rejuvenated their offense last season by mixing in the Wildcat, a variation of the single wing. The package featured direct long snaps to running back Ronnie
Brown(notes), who usually ran with the ball.
The Wildcat would take advantage of Vick’s running ability, but the Dolphins drafted
another running quarterback in April: West Virginia’s Pat White(notes). They also have
2008 NFL Comeback Player of the Year Chad Pennington(notes) returning and promising Chad Henne(notes) as the No. 2 quarterback.
“We don’t have an interest,” general manager Jeff Ireland said in a statement. “We like
the players we have on our current roster.”
Denver Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said “we’re not bringing him in right now,” but
acknowledged the team is always weighing its options. The Broncos have uncertainty at
quarterback after trading the disgruntled Jay Cutler(notes). Kyle Orton(notes) is penciled
in as the starter.
“We’re always going to try to do what’s best for the organization—that could mean it’s
a player or a situation that we’re going to evaluate,” McDaniels said. “We’re always going to try to make sure that we leave no stone unturned. If it means adding a player, we
have looked at every player that we feel out there could help us at this time.”
One organization that wants Vick is the upstart UFL. The four-team league plans to
kick off a six-game season in October.
“I still think we are the best option for him,” UFL commissioner Michael Huyghue
said.
Huyghue suggested Vick could prove to NFL teams that he’s ready to return— on and
off the field—during the UFL season.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Trent Edwards(notes) figured Vick’s conditional status
would leave general managers in a bind.
“It’s got to be hard to sign him, because where are you going to put him?” he said.
“You don’t know if he’ll be able to play Week 1, and you want him to be your starting
quarterback or at least compete for a starting job, (but) you can’t essentially do that as a
general manager.”

Kurz Jr. in Richmond, Va., John Wawrow in Pittsford, N.Y., and Steven Wine in Miami

“We don’t have an interest,” general manager Jeff Ireland said in a statement. “We like the players we have
on our current roster.”

19. BUSINESS HIGHLIGHT
Fashion & Barbershop: The
Best Of Both Worlds
New York Connection & Next
Level Barbershop Make Successfull
Combination
Interview by: The "L" Man
DS: Ronnie you have came along way in the business
since I first met you. You could have chosen many professions, what made you want to become a barber in the
first place?
Ron: It kind of chose me, because I'm a people person, I
love style and barbering allows me to do what I do.
DS: I first met you when you were cutting on Baymeadows. I believe it was called Bad Boyz back then and to
me there was something always different about you than
the other barbers. What do you think it was?
Ron: My Hunger and determination to be the best
DS: After you left there you did something I could not
believe. You actually opened up a barbershop inside
Gold's Gym. Man that was a big deal to me. That was a
bold move. Tell me what that was like..
Ron: I have always been a risk taker and gold's gym gave
me the opportunity to start my own business, it allowed
me to deal with people on higher levels and with more
responsibility, it prepared me for the Next Level.
DS: Did you always know that you would own your own
barbershop?
Ron: Yes, I always wanted to be my own boss and in
control.
DS: Was there ever a time that you thought to yourself,
"Man, I don't want to do this anymore."
Ron: Yes, sometimes dealing with people, you don't
always see eye to eye and you can get burned out.
DS: After you moved from the gym did you go straight
for your own shop or did you go back to cutting for
someone else?
Ron: After I outgrew the gym I moved the shop to a
larger building and stayed there for three years, then, we
outgrew that spot and now we have more space where we
added a salon with some of the best stylists in the city.
DS: When I was growing up. Most barbers were old men
that wore Stacy Adams with jeans and they all smelled
like Brut cologne. Could you tell me what is it like with
this new generation of barbers?
Ron: First of all, much respect to the old school barbers.
The new generation of barbers are more likely to have a
certain swag, they're fast pace, they're more into designs
and different styles of cutting and they can put on a white
Tee and a pairs J's and call it a day.
DS: Now that you are the owner of a successful barbershop, is it hard to find and keep good talent in your shop?
Ron: Yes, I had a good barber, he stepped out to open his
own shop (Korey's Cuts), But I still have a talented group
including one that I would put up against anybody in the
city.
DS: If you could remember, could you tell the readers
one of your craziest moments as a barber or barbershop
owner?
Ron: I can't single out one because there are so many
crazy moments, you might get anything at Next Level
DS: Do you think people come to a barbershop for the
great haircut they receive or the great atmosphere while
they are waiting to get their hair cut?
Ron: They are coming for both the atmosphere and a
great hair cut, they can get a card game in, play chess,
they can get on the pool table and go up against the best
in the city, or they can sit back and relax and watch TV
on the 72 in screen. They can get a cut on Tuesday and
be back on Friday to join in on the topic of the day which
can sometimes get heated.
DS: You now have a partner in your business venture and
you are one of the few people that actually have a clothing store connected to the barbershop. How did that come
about?
Ron: I started out only dealing in shoes, then I met BV
through a mutual friend and he showed me how to take it
to the Next Level by selling more than just shoes.
DS: Do you have some shot outs on the way out the door
buddy?
Ron: First I want to thank God, the customers, my family, Everybody at Next Level Barbershop, the old Who'z
Next crew (Jamal, Chuck, Huff and Ernest), Heaven on
Earth Lawn Care, Dr. Mcgowan and family, Ray
DS: When I first met you 3 years ago playa I thought
to myself, "O God, this n--ga here is to cool to be
real." Hell, you was so cool I thought you was a New
York pimp vacationing in Jacksonville. (Just kiddin) Wasup witcha?
BV: Lol just chillin my dude,trying to get it in that's all.
DS: Most New Yorker's are unbearable to be around
because of the way y'all aggressively carry y'all self and
talk among each other. You on the other hand, have been
embraced in the urban community and have found success here in the south. Was your transition hard when
you got into the fashion game in the south?
BV: No not really because I didn't want to change what
people where rockin down south I just wanted to add that
up north favor down here and have it embraced. For the
most part I've done that,to me the most important thing is
to stay ahead of the game and keep some exclusive shit.
Nobody likes to be in the club and have 5 n--gas with the
same sh-t on.
DS: Everyone remembers you from being in the flea market when you first started. You began to create a reputation of having the "exclusive" gear. Was having that type
of reputation your main objective?
BV: No doubt, I love to tell customers nobody else has
this or that. Plus as you know I make alot of custom tee's
and SWAGG shirts which I've been doing for like 5 years.
Right now I working on my own line of tee's so be looking out for that.
DS: How long have you been in the fashion business?
BV: I've been into fashion my whole life but in the business for like the last 9 years.
DS: When I was inside you & Ronnie's "one stop shop"
I saw many people on your wall that were wearing
your “SWAGGA” and promo shirts. It is rumored that
you have done many of important people's promo shirts.
Who all have you done stuff for?
BV: I've done stuff for Bigga Rankin,who's
been alot of help to me. Young Cash,Loyalty
Entertainment,Hacksaw,Pit,D-Cap (Duk Won) I did custom Air Force 1's for Laveranues Coles. I am workin on
some stuff for Co-Op Entertainment which is a company
my son L is about to start so I am excited about that.
DS: Everybody went crazy when Obama was elected.
Wall Street even said that the elect of Obama sparked financial gain for the small business vendors that sale shirts
and so on. What would you say to that?
BV: That's a true statement,Obama being elected was
historic and anytime you can be connected or make
something that represents that moment,money can be
made. Ronnie was on me hard about doing some Obama
shirts lol
DS: What kind of changes have you seen in fashion industry today that was not there when you first started?
BV: To be honest my dude its the high end stuff that
people want. N--gas want real sh-t! Before you could
rock some fake sh-t and get away with it now ni-gas ain't
tryin to hear it.
DS: What is the hottest item for the summer in the retail
business right now?
BV: Its alot of hot stuff out right now,custom gear is
always hot,anything Gucci,Louis Vuitton, or Prada. Rare
and exclusive Air Force 1's just to name a few things.
New Era hats are hot but you gotta step your game up and
get them from their new web site which is www. I can't
give it up like that come to the shop and get it! lol
DS: I knew you were a good retail business man, but I
really didn't know that you also were a barber too. Everybody knows that your son can cut hair real good. How
long have you been cutting?
BV: Not that long but I am trying to get it in my dude.
Ronnie told me one time, to use every avenue you can
and that's what I doin
DS: How did you and Ronnie meet up to do a business
venture?
BV: We met doin some business with someone else and
we clicked right off the bat. I rented some space from him
when he was a few doors down from where we are now.
Once this spot opened up we agreed to get it in together
and here we are. The only place you can get a fresh cut
and a hot fit for the club.
DS: They say that partnerships are good to have, because
two heads are better than one. Is that true?
BV: Yes its true but were a team so we get input from
everybody, the barbers and beauticians.
DS: I realize this is a sensitive subject, but it is summer
time and thing are about to heat up in the streets. You are
a father. What do you have to say to the readers about
the violence that is so commonly happening in our streets
and how can we prevent it?
BV: Its crazy in these streets but you can't let nothing
stop you from doin what you want to do. You gotta stay
positive. We always try and give back. We have had cookouts in Spring Park,given free haircuts,and clothes.
DS: Well I really appreciate you taking the time to speak
with Duval Streetz Newz. New York Connect is definitely doing big things in 09'. What are some of the services
you provide, your address and how can they get a hold of
you?

20. A Survey For The Ladies,
Answers Men Should Read
W
e decided to do a survey on what or how women
think. Since the mind of a women is a total mystery to us all. I asked 10 women the same question and
which ever answer that was received the most was the
general answer that we reported.
How long should a women wait to have sex with a
man?
Our survey says: Until she feels comfortable with the
person.
How long should a women wait to introduce their new
boy-friend to their children?
Our survey says: 6 months of steady dating
Does size matter during intimacy?
Our survey says: Hell yes it does! Absolutely.
When a man cheats on you, if he says he is really
sorry, do you think he will do it again?
Our survey says: 9 times out of 10 he will do it again.
Do men ever really know when his women is cheating?
Our survey says: No they don't, because women never
mix their story up.
What is the number one hint that your man gives off
that lets you know he wants to be intimate?
Our survey says: He takes a shower, starts to talking and
acting nice.
When do you know your man is lying?
Our survey says? When he gets mad at me asking a
simple question
I have to say that this was a very fun survey and we
should do more like this in the future. It you would like
to see a survey that you are interested in, please email us
at duvalstreetznewz@yahoo.com.
A Walk in the
Life.
Words of Damn
Fool.
D
uval!! When will it stop
man? I’m so tired of
women screaming that good guy
bull?&%$. I’ve been in 1001
relationships and that sh-- is like
having a second job. It can be
stressful unless you find the right person.
Now, that don’t mean if you meet a chic and she gives
it up on the first day you lock her down cuz you don’t
know what the hell you’re getting. If she’s talking about
whipping somebody’s ass and fu----g up their car then it
might happen to you.
I had a situation with a ghetto ass chic that came to my
house, gave me some a--, then stole my camcorder and
tried to sell it back to me. (JACKIE YOU KNOW WHO
YOU ARE) Seems like a crack head move to me. “LOL”(
Naw, just some petty sh--) But it’s just not women, it’s
men too.
It’s some stalking ass guys out there too. They call your
phone at all times in the night, but can’t pay your phone
bill and love to do drive by’s and pop ups. Just remember
that these crazy ass relationships lead to other sh--.
Like baby mommas and baby daddies. When you get
married or have a baby by someone you take on their
family also.
So take a closer look and don’t let bull&*^! blind your
outlook on life. Remember trash will get in your eyes and
blind you. These are my words. DAMFOOL.

23. Many of my clients ask this question on a daily basis, “Does stress really thin your hair out?” Well, ladies and gentlemen the answer to this question is a firm “yes.” It’s no myth.
Here’s why...
Telogen Effluvium:
Sudden stress related hair loss which appears as thinning throughout the whole scalp
Telogen Effluvium occurs when sudden, severe, or prolonged stress causes an increase in the shedding of hair. In Telogen Effluvium a sudden or stressful event can cause the hair
follicles to prematurely stop growing and enter into a resting phase. The hair will then stay in the resting phase for 3 months after which time a large amount of hair will shed. Often the person involved will have recovered from the event before the hair loss occurs. In most cases the hair loss is temporary and the hair soon recovers. However, in some cases
the hair loss continues until the underlying cause is fixed or the stress source is resolved. Telogen Effluvium appears to affect more women than men due to hormonal fluctuations.
Temporary hair loss can be caused by:
Child Birth
Pregnancy Terminantion’s
Starting or Stopping Birth Control Pills
Dieting Drugs
Lack of Sleep
Severe Emotional Stress
Blood Pressure Medications
Thyroid Imbalance
Anemia
Special Note: Hair loss after Child Birth:
It is quite common for some women to experience some hair some hair loss approximately 3 months after childbirth. This hair loss is triggered by the sudden changes in hormone
levels.
Some statistics suggests a 30% of mothers lose hair during childbirth and others suggest a figure closer to 60%. Fortunately in most cases the hair will return to normal 9-12
months after the childs birth.
Many women will notice that their hair is thicker and healthier during pregnancy; this is due to the increased levels of hormones estrogen and progesterone which cause more hair
than normal to remain in the growth phase. When the child is born, however, many of the hair follicles that had delayed entering the resting phase will suddenly enter the resting
phase due to the rapid drop in hormone levels. This resting phase causes massive hair shedding.
So, get to know your body and create balance in your life because beautiful hair grows from the INSIDE
OUT.

24. REGIONAL MUSIC NEWZ
Hustle House Entertainment Staring In A Movie?
Hustle House has done it again. It seems like they were
chillin out from all the hype that they created a year ago.
But I am here to tell you that these crazy mutha!@#$ have
been working hard on the big screen. It has been reported
that Hustle House Entertainment has several leading roles
in the newly made film called, "Queen Pin". Ms. Dynasty
plays the a lead role as well. What makes this movie so interesting is that Nephew, Hustle House's top gun on the mic,
is playing Ms. Dynasty's boyfriend. This is all hear say, but
as usual, Big L is always not far from the truth. Y'all make
sure you keep a eye out for the movie.
The Beef & The Beat Goes On!!
Reggie, CEO of High Life Music and T-Roy have been nothing close to "DULL" in
these recent days. Both of them seem to be firing back and forth at each other. Why? I
am glad you asked. It is because they both CAN!!
That's right they both have their own plate form,
because they both have hot club nights in the city.
Not to mention T-Roy has the #1 afternoon radio
show in the city. This all came out of no where if
you ask me. It was like one day they were cool
and the next week they were going at it. So far
this is what I have gathered: Reggie verbally attacked T-Roy on You-Tube about some personal
stuff between them and then T-Roy responded
back during one of the biggest parties in the city
on a Friday Night @ Club Christopher's. This news was spreading faster than VD on a
military base. Now before any of you start thinking stupid. T-Roy did not say anything
about High Life Music on the air. This little thing is starting to fly around the city like a
high-school rumor. People keep adding and taking away from the story. I have personally talked to both of them about the situation and they both feel strongly about their
opinions of each other. I know alot more, but this is not the time to go into full detail
of the story. I think we all need to get back to business. Can't we all just get along?.....I
don't think so. So Y'all can stop calling the newspaper asking questions. This is all I
have to say about it.......FOR NOW!!
DJ GIT, DJ GIT. He Just Won't Stop Shooting Bullets!!
He is like a Denis Rodman, Rush Lombar, 50 Cent, Keyshawn Johnson and any other type of controversial entity
that is in our mist. All these people are rolled up into a
220lbs young man by the name of DJ Git. Git has verbally attacked damn near every highly regarded DJ in the
city. He has voiced his opinion about Cool Running DJ's,
DJ Chilly, T-Roy and many many more. When I asked
him why? He gave me a surprising answer. He said,
"Although I say things towards these individuals I do on
the other hand have the up most respect for what they
have accomplished over the years. There is just a hungry
new kid on the block." If anyone knows Gitt, you will
know that he always is gonna say something that will
shock your ears. He is a DJ at Lavilla three days a week,
Shucker's and there is a small rumor that he may be trying to get a night at the Big
Apple. We don't know why he is the way he is, but I think it's time to interview this fella
and find out why he is so angry. So, his interview will be in the next issues to come.
