What it is??? What it look like???

What it is good peoples? I'm back again. Where have I been? Well...since you asked, i'll update you. Its been a busy couple of days. I'm proud to say that my little sister (can I call an 18 year old that) just graduated from high school. So I had to do the family thing for a couple of days. In the midst of that though Grownfolk Entertainment actually hosted our first event as GrownFolk Ent. (1st official event that is). Mr Al and I threw a graduation barbeque for the youngin's in honor of my sister. We had a ball, although it was hard work to organize it, cook the food, and provide the entertainment. But thats what we do right? So be on the look out for more GrownFolk Ent. sponsored events.

I wanna end this by just sharing a few thoughts on my sister and what it meant to me to see her reach this milestone. Time flies by so fast that if you don't stop for a hot minute to breathe...it'll pass you by. It was like yesterday I was changing her diaper and now she's a graduate about to embark on the next part of her life. I just want to wish her well and let her know how proud of her I am. Shout out to you Dani!!!

Nothin' man...just bloggin'...

I ain't want anythin'...just got on here...just to do it. Yeah I said it...now what?!?! Smile...my brain hurts from all these thoughts and ideas. I wish I could just snap my fingers and let my ideas pour out...and they be organized too (I believe I'm askin' for too much)! Oh well...I'ma end it 'cause I'm blabberin' more than bloggin'! Peace among...*poof*!

Real Quick...

Happy Mother's Day!!! Although i'm probably 100% + 10 that my Mother won't see this particular salute, I wanted to say it all the same. I feel bad, I didn't even get a card out to her. *hangs head in shame* No excuses for it, so I won't make any. But Momma...I wanted to say....I love you very much and appreciate you. So to all ya'll out there, appreciate the woman who gave you life. And if either don't know the woman who gave you life, or the woman who gave you life isn't all that she should be (appreciate her anyway, but...), then whoever it is out there to you that is like a mother to you, tell her you love her. That goes for grannies, aunties, godmothers, and the like. Happy Mother's Day!!!

Peace...

I gotta say...

I'm a little disappointed with the music that's been coming out lately. The Game ("The Documentary") to me was lukewarm. He had some heat, no doubt, but they were calling this album a classic. 50 Cent was ehhh. I had a chance to check out the new Memphis Bleek today, ("534"). His best track was Jay-Z's farewell track ("Dear summer"). Isn't that crazy!? Although I will say that this to me is his best effort, but if you happen to be an unbiased music fan and not a Memphis Bleek funboy/or girl then you know that his other efforts have been ehhhhh at best. I also had a chance to bump the Common joint "Be". He says that there are gonna be more tracks on the retail, but its hot as is. No real stand out tracks, but that Electric Circus phase seems to be behind him.

I actually listened to an album by an artist name Big Pooh today. I thought that it'd be trash...the name sucks. It sounds like a one those Dr. Seuss m.c.'s. But he's down with the Justus League camp and Little Brother (9th wonder's crew), and so he had some good production. The lyric content was ok. Nothing to write home about, but it was decent. As I write this now i'm bumpin' DMX "Its Dark and Hell is hot". Yeah, I know that was 1998, but I thought i'd pull it out the archives. I remember that summer well. Onyx, DMX, Def Squad, and that L.L. Cool J diss track to Canibus came out. Anyway I digress...the point of me saying all of this is to just show my passion for the music. My co-general Al Pete says i'm hard on the music. Well got dangit...I gotta be. Someone will be the same way with my joints right? I'm a fan of the music and as I fan I won't settle for mediocrity. Is that a crime? If it is let me know.

Who am I feeling right now? Nas is my favorite m.c. right now, top 5 in my list. And i'm actually really into a guy who I never thought i'd be feeling pass his potential...Lil' Wayne. Don't laugh...really. This guy has stepped up his flow, and although his subject matter is limited to say the least, I always thought he had potential to be better than his click. And he's actually pursuing a college education. He gets a big thumbsup in my book for that because i'm an educated m.c. Who else...Jay of course, although he's retired, Common, Outkast. (a little secret...if you can get your hands on Big Boi's Purple Ribbon mixtape you should). Face...I still bump the fix!! I got more...but i'd be going on and on. I'm going to wrap this up for now, but I was thinking this and wanted to put it down. Aiight?! I'm out!!

Peace...

Welcome...Part .02

I personally would like to welcome you and yours to a lovely, growin' experience and corporation that will fulfill the political, yet hard-core, backpack wearin' hip-hop world (don't trip...it's not all hip-hop).

GrownFolk Entertainment also encourages the knowledge of business, culture, and of oneself (I was told by the other Co-General Shirl...you know better, do better). So...

...without further due, hit us up and leave a couple of alphabets and periods. Ya have thoughts...plug it. Questions...plug it. Anythin' else that would benefit you and/or us...plug it! More info on GrownFolk Entertainment comin' soon...signin' off...*poof* (don't bite please...I will call ya out)!

Ok...Ok...sometimes thing do get a little slow, but right now we're trying to keep things flowin'. So what do I have to report today? Nothing major, but we got things in the works. Its an exciting time to be affiliated with GrownFolk Entertainment. I just felt like throwing a teaser out there. We'll keep ya'll posted as more details become available.

Peace....

Welcome...

This is new for me. A blog??? WTF??? But I thought it'd be cool for you guys to see what I'm thinking; what we're thinking. Oh...who am I? Who are we?? GrownFolk Entertainment is the name, and it is comprised of Shirl and Pete (Co-Founders). Our mission is to make music, get our music heard, and to put out quality to music to the masses. Also we're into the entertainment part of the business too. That includes hosting parties, shows, deejaying, as well as putting out mixtape music.

What makes us different from the millions of people out there trying to do music and make it? I don't know. You'll have to determine that. The music is original, fresh, and innovative. Soon we'll have some music for you guys to check out and listen for yourself.

So...thats all I have to say right now. Come holla at us. We will be having a website up soon. And we got some goodies coming with the music and the shows. Look out!!

Peace...
