Wussup Y'all...
On Monday, my good homey from The Bay Area came to NYC for the jumpoff.tv "Spin the MIC" battle.
16 Emcees were supposed to battle and only 12 showed up. So you know who they asked at the last minute? My ass!
Yep you guessed right.
I know, I know $2000 prize right? Well, I didn't jump in.
My boy Orukusaki was in it and my other homey "Presence" was in it too. Didn't wanna scrap with them and I wasn't really mentally prepared for it. Yeah Yeah... save your snyde comments for another time. You'll get over it, I already have dammit. Yeah... the guy who's always ready to battle right? Humbug!
Tah is only part super-human the other half is plain ol' human and don't you forget that dammit!
But guess what, they were the first two to battle. Oruk got knocked out in the first round be he was still dope as hell.
The battle was dope until a fight broke out when they were down to the last 5 emcees. Presence would have battled for the $$. He made it through up until the fight broke out and then he left . Why people always gotta fuck shyt up? That's why we can't have shyt in NYC. Anyway. after some people got stomped outside the club and they finished breaking down the stage inside the club, the battle resumed outside. The illest cyphers happened on the outside. Some of the best freestyle I've seen /heard in a while. The last cats in the battle were dope. This cat from Portland named Ill Maculate won. Dude is nice. He won scribble jame like 2 years ago. Big ups to Syanide, Qwest McCody and Whashisface for tearing up the battle till the last round. Good shyt. I'll be back in battle action soon. I've got shows to grapple with. Hopefully I'll see you people at one of em!
Thanks for reading!
Get at me!

Peace, Love and the MIC

OK... OK... So it took longer than I figured... Shaddap!
Ok... So I said it'd be easier for me to update. OK... So I've been really grinding hard to bring my music to the people. OK... so I've been battling and got my ass kicked by a girl... so what!
OK.. So I'm going on tour in May... YAAAAYYYY!!!!
Shyt doesn't always work out the way we want it to, but it's been fun as hell being late with this update!
April 2, 2006.
I was in a street battle with this girl named Likwuid Stylez. At Ground Zero for the http://jumpodff.tv street battles shyt. I wasn't on my tightest game for this one y'all. My flow was a bit of and I said "Fuckin" a whole lot. Don't know what happened. Don't have any excuses. You do great some days others you're OK. I was a mix of great and shyt at the same time. I still had a good time though. Y'all should check it out and tell me what you think.
There's alot of controversy over this one line I said on the Jumpoff.tv message boards
It was in reference to me flipping things around. Girl called me gay a few times so I flipped it around on her and told her that she's just mad because she walked in the room and saw me doing her father from the back. I think it was very clever to throw it back at her (not to toot my own horn, but hey) check it out and tell me what you think.
Please be warned, this is a street battle. You are supposed to hit below the belt and be as nasty to your opponent as you can be. There's a whole lot of insulting going on... If you've never been to one, now you know. I've never called a woman a bitch before until this battle. And I said it a whole lot in an effort to throw her off. But.. Please remember, that's not how I really get down. I have the utmost respect for the ladies out there. Me and Lukwuid actually have stayed in contact. Hopefully you'll see a collaboration from us in the future. Peep her out on myspace at http://www.myspace.com/likwuidstylez Tell her I sent you!
Good shyt ma!

Got into the battle. Came out strong in the first round. Lost the coin toss so I had to go first. This new dude named Paulino came hard and took me out. 2 in one week. How about that y'all. Paulino went on to the second to last round. Dude is Nice with his. I hope to see more of him at Freestyle Mondays. Good shyt man! K Swift won the battle. He took out a bunch of people including Rabbi D and Undakova. Y'all gotta come out to Freestyle Mondays.

The show with Ms Angelina at Bowery! NASTY!!!
Yes Y'all!!!!!!
Ms Angelina, if you didn't know, is like my female counterpart when it comes to being explicit and doing dope shows. I know I mentioned in my past Chronicles that we wrote a joint together. Go back and read em dammit! It's called "Get You Home". It's kinda risque', to put it nicely.
Miss A came out with her singer's the Jersey Girls. They rocked the crowd! She came out with a cape on and shit with this big assed A on her chest like a super hero. Some real craziness! She had this cat named Tut come out and play the sax. The girls went nuts! Then we did "Get you home". It's supposed to be a scenario that takes place at the Puerto Rican Day Parade, so I had a PR flag bandana on my head. (As if I didn't have a hard time already convincing people that I ain't Puerto Rican!). I was in the crowd like it was actually the parade. Then I came up to the stage. People didn't know what the hell was going on, the crowd went bananas!!! People were coming up to me asking for a copy of the song saying "This one's a hit man!" So... keep your ears peeled! It's coming soon! Maybe we'll do it on a 12". Peep out Miss Angelina at http://MissAngelina.com
Peep me out at http://FilthyClean.com
If you don't have my album, buy it! If you have it, buy it for a friend!
More to come!

The Mic Magazine Release Party
Yes Y'all!
Tah Phrum Duh Bush is featured in the New issue of Mic Magazine.
That's right dammit!
An interview in a print mag!
Go buy it!
I went to the release party last night. It was crazy! I met a lot of people who in the past never embraced me because I didn't do "industry" styled Hip-Hop... How about that. People don't recognize you until your in a print mag. Then they're interested all of a sudden. This business is so shady! Why do I love it so much? Well... I love the music, not the business. But I have to know both ends to succeed in it. Will you come along with me for the ride?
Buy that magazine and put my interview in your scrapbook dammit!
If you... Have a scrap book... Oh... Look at me... Acting like I have real fanatics backing me up!
Maybe some day... Let me know if you have one...
There I go dreaming again!

Upping you to Speed!
Somehow my chronicles since the 25th of February got deleted.... SO I'm bringing you up to speed!
After the show on the 25th, I never managed to rent a car as the cheapest one was $400 plus mileage for the weekend. So…I bummed a ride with Rich, the guy that put together the “Circus of the Shattered Monkey”. We were accompanied by Melissa and Cool assed Joseph in the back seat.
We drove out to New Paltz, NY where we performed at the Oasis Café
Hot show! I held it down as Ringmaster with antics and intermittent freestyles accompanied by Hypaspace, the house band of the Circus. They couldn’t fit on the stage with the rest of the acts so they were shoved into this cramped doorway and sectioned off with caution tape. They still tore it down.
Sexy Assed Ericka came out to see me!
She brought her friend out who had just had a shitty experience with some dude so we cheered her up with a little “fuck that dude” freestyle. The crowd helped and she left smiling.
All the bands were hot! Saw some shyt I never even thought about seeing. Lots of talent. You need to see a Shattered Monkey show!
February 27th
After a night at the ever so cheesey Motel 46, we got on the road to Providence Rhode Island. Ghess who drove most of the way? Yep… My ass!
The show was a bit light on the crowd side. Maybe it was too cold or maybe the bands didn’t promote enough. I don’t know. The people who did come got some show! The bands were stellar! I did an extended version of “Lay That Pipe” with Hypaspace that should have been recorded. It was off the chain! In the midst of all that I managed to move a few CDs. Hotness!
Guess who had to drive all the way back to NYC? Yep… My ass! What the fuck man? How’d I end up driving the majority anyway? Just my fate I guess.
March 3rd, 2006
I went out to Central New Jersey…. Way out in Central New Jersey to see Third Party and Hyphen One & Daylow perform. What a show. I think the whole town was there! I somehow managed to be called up to the mic at the end of the show for some freestyle. Made some friends and some fans, sold some CDs too. What a hike, but well worth it!

From the Block Out the Box
Bisc-1, Miss Angelina, Ill Spokinn, Core Rhythm, DJ Milkmoney, Rose and I are working on a Hip-Hop Songwriting workshop in the Bronx with 7th and 8th Graders. Today was the introduction to it. We threw a kind of mini concert in front of like 300 students. Shyt was kool until my speakers blew out in the middle of the show! My PA system!!!!! YAAAAARRRRGGGHHH!!!!
The show came of well and the kids loved it. More to come on this in the future, I’ll keep you posted!

The return of the BUTT NAKED ALIEN GROUPIES
What a Show!
The crowd loved it! I opened up with Life and Death Dichotomy… The crowd went nuts… I had a makeshift bed on the stage, Mish worked the lighting perfectly. The mood was ON!
I did EYE, & Mic 101.
Funny shyt… like it was part of the set… This guy came up on stage out of nowhere and started asking if he could get some light. That was seconds before I did “Shine” It worked so perfectly! If you weren’t there you should have seen it. I have some of the footage on tape. Hopefully when I get to review it, it’ll be a part of the footage. I’ll put it up when I re-vamp the website (Soon!) After that I did lay that pipe. The aliens came out and made their appearance on this one. Life-sized an in your face aliens. Shyt was crazy! I ended the show off with Energitis. The crowd Love this one too! The staff @ Bowery said that this was my best show yet! That’s Hot! Sold a bunch of CDs too! Yay! Now I can pay my phone bill!
( I know right… this broke ass!)
There was an Emcee cipher on stage after the show. This white kid got up on stage and said “Nigger” like 30 times while he was rhyming so I had to pull his card. This other kid tried to dis us both. I dropped $10 on stage and challenged him to a battle. Needless to say. I went home with 10 more bucks then I came with.
All of the Acts were on Point. G Friday, Readnex Poetry Squad, and Adaptamental!
Hot shyt Y’all!

Last night's show and this morning's no go....
Last night's show was the shyt!! Alphabet lounge is a really odd venue to perform at. There's a metal bar across the stage so it kinda restricts you from getting to close to the crowd. But you know me. I was all over that shyt: climbing on it hanging off of it. Swinging on it. Hey make the best of what you got. It's been a while since I got a chance to rock an hour long set. People don't understand how difficult it can be to rock a crowd for that amount of time and keep their attention. I had all of my props in this crate, my backpack and a metal suitcase & a big portfolio case for my signs. I hauled all this shyt on the train because yes ladies and gentlemen, my car is in the shop. There's a great deal of distance between the train and the venue. Need I say more? Never take a car for granted! Especially since I just called the shop. My car is supposed to be ready this morning. I call to find out the situation and they told me that they got a wrong part and the car won't be ready until Monday. What the FUCK? I have two out of town shows; one tonight and one tomorrow night. From what I understand they knew about it since yesterday. Someone could have told me something! Now I have to struggle to find a rental. Have you ever tried to rent a car on a Saturday? No easy task and definitely not a cheap one.
Anyway... the show was dope I sold about 8 CD's last night. Not bad huh? I opened up my set about 30 minutes after the doors opened. It wasn't the largest of crowds, but I ran the full gamut of showmanship! Lay That Pipe was the end all beat all. I had some audience people come up and this young lady said that she's not into guys, so I asked her how she likes to get the "strap on"? They went nuts! What a good time. Thanks to conscious and Guestos for rocking an impromptu freestyle "4 bar and pass" session on stage at the end of the show. That was dope!
OK... I'll feed you more later. I gotta go find a fuckin' rental!
Peace, Love and the MIC
Tah!
