M.O.P. | Ja Rule | Stryper
M.O.P.
I met M.O.P. at a party. Billy was like a teddy bear. He asked me, “What’s a lady like you doing in hip-hop anyway?” My reply, “I wonder at times myself.” Weeks later I found myself in the studio with Laze listening to their new album. They sounded pretty hardcore to me.
On occasions I’d call Billy’s sister to see how he was doing on tour. I spoke to her about her underground brother and how gentle he was. She assured me that this was a rare side few get to see. Laze and I spoke many times on the phone during the birth of his child about M.O.P. Although this group is not domestic and stands for the hardcore uninhibited side of hip-hop, I can assure you Billy knows how to treat a lady, like a lady.
Ja Rule
The first time I saw Ja Rule in action was at a convention. He strolled through the place as if the many fans weren’t even there. His bodyguards didn’t have a problem with the fans because they understood Ja Rule wasn’t given them props, not even a glance. There have been times after that, in which I’d attend the same event in the VIP lounge as Ja Rule.
Ja Rule never switched it up; he maintained his smooth composure as if he were an average cat in town. After downloading the pictures I took I realize he’s on his phone, as if he had never really left home. This man needs to cut lose from his cell and who ever keeps him tied to it.
Stryper
Back in the 80’s I listened to Stryper from sunrise to sunset. Across the valley of my estate you could hear the sound of “To hell with the Devil.” I placed my speakers on the window ledges and let them rip. It’s what I do with any artist who's gifted.
As one of the advisory board members of Kingdom Bound Ministries, I got to meet with the members of the once known group Stryper. I also had the chance to speak with Benson Records on an upcoming Christian act.
There’s only one thing left to say: I learned while sharing backstage that Sweet is Sweeter, one on one, then any sugar cane.
