Definition of a Hater:

I’ve always wondered what defines or classifies a Hater, is it those that envy you, a person in your own family, someone in your inner circle of friends, the strangers up the street or, someone you use to date? Now, I think it’s anyone that falls into the category of being greedy and not wanting to see you evolve into your full potential as a person. If you have a nation full of leaders the competition to outshine your fellow brethren is one that has to be earned and like all good things acquired in life that are worth owning it takes hard work to obtain. Just as easy as it comes, it goes. Maybe that’s why they say “they just don’t make’em like they use to.

Evolution is a part of the human existence whether you want to debate its origins, everything evolves around us from ecosystems, levels within the social classes, craft of a trade, to the skill of an Artist. It is no phenonemoum that the more money you make, different places you explore outside of your comfort zone, you go through some changes (evolve). Unfortunately some will say money is the root of all evil, it’s not the money, it’s the motive in which you get it and spend it. Riches don’t make the problems go away they just make them easier to deal with, depending on where you go.

For me the FEDs, subprime rates, misleading credit card companies, CEO’s of gas companies, prejudice juries/DA, corporate bankers, and the welfare system are the graduated HATERS, trying to keep or trap others into a vicious cycle of poverty, probation-prison, and turning one another against eachother for stake on what limited resources everyone is out to get.

Forget putting the blame on the drug dealers or illegal immigrants, and any other politically incorrect source for all the ills of the world. Like all bad things, they start out petty then proceeds to engulf you like cancer affecting everything along the path, but to be fair I have never met a bad drug dealer, or lazy illegal immigrant. Grant it bad drug dealers and lazy illegal immigrants do exist, I have been lucky to never meet one.

A drug dealer simply supplies the demand just like the corner store pharmacy that my doctor sent me to for that hydrochloride. Of course because the drug dealer doesn’t have an M.D., it must be poison the drug dealer is supplying because there is no consequence if he sells you something bad that’s been stepped on. When does the junkie take some blame for not having moderation to say, NO.?

I won’t elaborate on the illegal immigration issue because there is so much corruption in it and it’s all based on cheap labor for higher profits.

Just remember the next time you want to hate on someone, don’t hate them, hate the situation you’re finding yourself in. We are all inhabitants of this world, it’s just a matter of some succeeding and accomplishing more than others with limited resources, there is not enough to go all around. It is survival of the fittest, and even then it’s who you know and not always what you know, because the “truth” isn’t always pretty and a force many do not want to reckon with.

For the record, I aint got NO Love for Hater! I hate em.

Democracy

Its a free democracy, if you want to inject yourself with drugs, binge drink , torture your body, even commit suicide, you can not do so. Even if it doesn't infringe or offend someone else, our laws are here to keep and establish order in our neighbor, family and places of mass gatherings. Complain all you want about the laws after all you didn't have any part nor interest in deciding nor drafting them. Instead of being a part of the solution, we dramatize the problem, thanks to the reporters for distorting the truth. I don't blame media nor technology, I blame the reporter and the man behind the story. Authority figures were put in place to keep order and protect, even though that authority may have some seeing in a utilitarian way. You need a chief among a crowd of barbarians. The wonderful thing about America is just when you think no one cares about you, Big Brother taps you on the shoulder in the form of the laws, police officer, DEA agent, IRS, child protective services, welfare, financial aide, FEMA, Social Security, Medicaid, to let you know, they do care.
Some feel they do more than their duty by paying taxes, praying for the sinner, doing volunteer, giving to Goodwill, attending council meetings, but we all know the EGO that lurks from within that doesn't do something without expecting acknowledgement or rewards for our efforts. Let our efforts go unappreciated, and we will be quick to withdraw all remorse and show you how unworthy you are.
Perhaps that is why the Minute Men whom feel it necessary to exercise their right to bear arms and monitor the borders, feel it is their duty to take the law into their own hands. Their intentions are sincere but so are those trying to cross the border. Through out history, all great societies have gone to war to preserve their resources and clout. We rise as a great nation, but we fall humble just like the third world when the shortage of our energy supply threatens us, just as those less educated, less civilized threaten our existence by infiltrating our schools, jobs, and neighborhoods. To understand one another, we have to abandon the comfort zone of our own ideology's, something not easy. I love America and everything it stands for; when you accept something you take the good, the bad, and the ugly.

See for me, as a minority, I always thought it was a white mans world. I will play my role as second class citizen, just as those before me, do the best and hope for a better future for those after me.
Reality check. I am afraid to have children in this type of world and just as the civil activist that marched before my time in hopes of a better future for their children, my time for change is now. But change is a gradual process and you don't move mountains in days nor months, maybe not even years.
If I choose to label myself as different, automatically bringing objectivity into a situation then I am going to encounter just that. That you and I are different, we may have a common agreement or not, but what really matters is what I got from the interaction with you. I'm lucky to get any interaction considering the high alert of suspicion, just talking to strangers might be an invitation to danger, but it could also be the start of a beautiful relationship.

Im Feelin Artistic

These here are a few of my creative writings. Let me know if your looking for a Ghost Whisperer. I can holla.

iM SO excited, I cant wait to see you.. I waited all week for you to call me and u did.. and the excitement, surprise and ectasy are all balled up inside me ready to explode from the inside of my thighs.... Wait its been like two weeks since I heard from you and the last time we spoke I wasn't quite sure you even wanted to see me again. after getting a tour of the candy shop with out buying any souvenirs.. I sure hope our relationship will not be one based solely on ur needs and wants. U call and I run to you and then your nowhere to be heard or found the moment my heart starts to wonder and my thoughts ponder. Such a foolish girl I am to believe u can only love me. Its okay.. I'll forgive you if you promise to ignite that lost fire that burned so bright many moons before you. Sacred is the man that cherishes my existence. For to love me, is to accept me and all the flaws I possess. and to honor and obey you is to understand you need ur ego stroked from time to time along with all the body parts that excite your mind.



Flying thru space with a cape wrapped around my neck and no name tatted on my chest. Superman aint no place to be found, so I call my girl to see if she wants to have some fun tonite, cuz its been awhile since we had a girls night out, meeting of the minds and souls. We just two young spirits in search of some fun and clever jokes. Maybe we'll spend the night dancing, or hanging with a BRMG DJ as he spins my favorite recollection. Either way, its going to be on tonite, cuz I made it through another week of the 8 to 5 grim. TGIF, I said as I jetted out of bed this morning, ran down the stairs, said "Good morning" to the folks. 30 minutes in traffic just to get to work off Cameron. Settled into my cube, got a cup of coffee, so I could sit and rehearse my "to do" list. Fastforward, its half past seven, time to disrupt my cerebral cortext and kiss me thru the screen and make me scream. If your game lacks loyalty forget about ever laying with royalty. Im not lost in translation just chose to journey past adolescence. I see your arrogance but it doesnt faze me, cuz I only mess with the best and you are everything like the rest

The Story of Victoria & Calvin

Have you ever saw someone across the room that reminded you of a love you once knew, a crush you never got to materialize? If after initial glances are exchanged and introductions made, you find yourself calling out someone else's name other than the person you just met. you know Victoria & Calvin all to well. Through out the night he kept pronouncing my name as Victoria, at first I thought it was a pronunciation glitch, but then I realized that I found myself addressing him by another familiar name to me, Calvin. His familiar features were comforting yet he was a complete enigma to me. He only tells me what he wants me to know. Fun was on the agenda but boundaries had to be set if I am to make a lasting impression of our meeting.

Validation

You know the one thing that has always bothered me about the validation and seeking approval thing is I have always been with someone that I felt was smarter, more secured and established than me because I wanted to learn from that, being that I believe you are a product of your environment and its influencing factors, but all the time I always secretly felt a sense of inferiority. I always wondered why we couldn't share a political, career, and ideology conversation, it was always sexual, domestic or vanity. I wondered if it was because you thought me not to be on your intellect level even though you always praised me on my smarts and quick wits. Now, that we are fighting all you want to do is put me down, which is normal, but along with those spiteful words comes some of the truth. Truth of how you feel about me, that's cool, vent. Your words stab my heart and reverberate in my thoughts, but unlike you I vent and I'm over it within two minutes later , maybe because I know dwelling is too time consuming and I or you will always be wanting to outshine the other. I'm accepting my failures and no longer living in denial, but see its not easy to see clearly when all my life I built facades and fantasies of what my life should be or I wanted it to be, instead of accepting what it really is. Alcohol and weed my choice of vice and disillusionment along with sex, never help the equation only provide temperamental escape or distortion. Fuck you, for wasting my time. Some say don't hate the player, hate the game, thing is, I never asked to play the game... its just part of life I suppose. Maybe that is why I cant seem to get along with anyone. I don't like playing games, I'm just here to make the best I can out of any situation I am in. I never finished my degree because I didn't want to sacrifice. Sacrifice is inevitable one way or the other, you pay now, or you pay later:) Nothing in life comes with out consequence, you are either rewarded or shit on by every thing that you come across. Oh, well, the world doesn't stop evolving, so why should I.

SMASHTIME

Getting familiar never sounded better than when it came from Boston native, Clinton Sparks. The man has tons of enthusiasm for life overflowing with positive energy with his daily affirmations. WhoUFeelin follows him via twitter, www.twitter.com/ClintonSparks respecting his grind, energy and ventures. Clinton Sparks first caught WhoUFeelin's eye in the summer of 07 with the song he produced and co wrote for Akon, "Sorry, Blame it on Me" Then again in the summer of 08 with his mixtape project with Kardinal Offishall, Do The Right Thing, ever since then WhoUFeelin has been getting familiar.

There are few DJs that have that genuine personality that make you feel like you individually can be a part of their movement if you choose to be, I guess that is why WhoUFeelin is huge fan of Clinton Sparks. It's like Clinton Spark's mission is to work on a new project everyday, the man is the definition of hard work, look it up. He's all over the place when he is not in Vegas being featured at Body English in the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, he is on Smashtime Radio, associated with Pepsi DJ Division, posting videos on Vimeo.com/clintonsparks, doing mixtapes, writing a blog, making guest appearance on E! for the Daily 10 or endorsing Ciroc vodka.

Overseas he has joined forces with friend DJ Snake from Paris, France, to form a group called "Logan De Gaulle" which is a dance/electro production, so far they have produced for Lisa Lisa and Tyrese who are releasing their own separate albums. An anticipated mixtape project with Armando Perez aka Pitbull is in the works, so far "Shut It Down" was linked.

How is it possible for a man to sleep and accomplish all he is currently doing. I get dizzy just thinking about how busy he is, no wonder he apologizes in advance. If the youth is looking for a role model, I couldn't think of a better example of hard work, ambition and motivation. For those of you that haven't heard some of his mixtapes, they are available for download at http://www.clintonsparks.com/ , Get Familiar.

P.S. Clinton, I look forward to catching you live @ Body English before the end of 09.

Crazy Hood Garcia

Happy being able to follow his dreams Garcia offers the following advice "If you get into music for any other reason other than the love of hip hop culture, stop. Don't get into a respected genre of music for the pursuit of riches and discredit what others have worked so hard to accomplish." With a lawyer by his side and Crazy Hoods Productions in his crew, he leaves the business matters to friend and business partner DJ EFN so that he can focus on making good music and being a father to his daughter. If you were to read his eulogy he would hope it would say "First, I was a good father, second, I was a man who dared to dream. Those are the most important things in life to me. Nothing else matters. I could die broke and happy as long as I have the love of my daughter and knowing that I followed every dream I ever had. "


In 2005, after years of hard work and perseverance, things finally began to spring board for Garcia's dream to work with the artist he had grown up admiring. Originally known in Kendall, FL as Gambit, Garcia changed his name to rep his last name and Latin roots. Venturing away from SOUTHBEAT,whom he was signed to at the time, he and friend DJ EFN were trying to push vinyl on DJ KHALED. Relentless, he approached the Diaz Brothers with an old school hip hop sample Planet Rock, again handed to DJ KHALED he later gets a call from DJ KHALED asking him to come into the station. "Clap Your Hands" was being put on rotation, played 15 times within an hour.

The wheels were in motion, featured on MTV's MY Block, TLC's Miami Ink, URB Magazine, UPN's face for urban marketing within local Miami, Garcia was living out his dreams. Labels were approaching but the deals weren't working in his favor nor was he willing to leave his family Crazy Hood off the contracts, so he decided to remain with Crazy Hood and further the underground movement. Even if he doesn't get the credit, Garcia is fine with it because he's proved to himself first that he's accomplished all he set out to do.

Remaining on his grind, Garcia is anxious to work again with his longtime friend and mentor, Nick Fury, who produced Garcia's first album Antisocial. Nick and Garcia go way back to 1995.

Currently, putting the finishing touches to his mixtape "Back From The Dead", to be released in two weeks. WhoUFeelin asks Garcia in which direction he is going with his upcoming album

The DYSFUNCT. From the visuals on his Myspace page, www.myspace.com/garciachp surrealism is the reply. Peep the visuals and tracks for yourself.





Granting WhoUFeelin's request for an interview

WhoUFeelin: Does It really come down to not knowing the right people? You once mentioned "its all dubbed out shit, nobody listens to good music anymore", How do you feel about the DOA statement?

GarciaCHP: I don't hate autotune...It can come off right when used in the right situations. It just got to the point that originality went out the window when everybody jumped on the bandwagon and over exploited the sound. But what can I say? I can't hate the game only the player. As far as knowing the right people of course that's important. But without talent eventually the people will cast you out.

WhoUFeelin: On a typical day in Miami, you can be found?

GarciaCHP: All over..I'm constantly on the street hustling..I get my grind on for real.

WhoUFeelin: Who do you associate yourself with?

GarciaCHP: Anybody who is true to their craft . My main squad is and has always been Crazy Hood Productions. That's my family and they are responsible for making me who I am today. Another crew I show much respect to from the 305 is MayDay (www.myspace.com/firstdayofmay). We came up in the same era and the music in my opinion is untouchable. Also, my friend Nick Fury.

WhoUFeelin: Who are some artist/producers you would like to work with?

GarciaCHP: I have been asked this repeatedly and one artist never changes, Andre 3000. As far as producers I would like to work with Danger Mouse, I love what he did with both Gnarls projects. A dream artist to work with would be Beth Gibbsons of Portishead.

WhoUFeelin: You were a guest on TLC's Miami Ink, what did you get a tattoo of?

GarciaCHP:That was a tattoo of the cover of my first album Antisocial. I got about 14 tattoos now and counting.

Garcia prides himself in staying diverse, lyrically speaking on things effecting many artist. Referring to a 2006 interview he did with South Florida's City Link, www.southflorida.com/citylink/sfe-cl-011106cover,0,616216.story Garcia's raps are all about YOU. He doesn't project an image of cash he doesn't have, his rhymes favor modesty over flash. In an analogy of pursuing success Garcia puts it this way " Its like a fucked-up haircut, you're waiting for it to grow out. You know it's going to eventually be good, but it's hell getting there. You're right here, almost where you want the hair to be"

As we speak, Complex Magazine & Grey Goose Entertainment are running a contest for "Rising Icons" featuring Garcia CHP, vote for the Rising Icons on the September 5th BET Network Special, www.complex.com/GREYGOOSE/Local-Market-Rising-Icons#Miami
