dilf,ffig'"".,00l'm writing to clear up a misunderstandingthat some of your readers may have hadafter seeing my ad [for G-Mack] in OZONE. I

dropped a mjxtape in Kentucky back in 2001which had a freestyle over the Nappy Roots'singte, "Aw Naw, Helt Naw" beat. {n my rhyme, I

said, "l'm from Kentucky, but not neighbors withNappy Roots." I received a Lot of good feedback

from the record and decided to use the Une as theslogan for my magazine ads. lt never crossed mymind that people woutd consjder the statement tobe a low blow at the Nappy Roott. When I ran the adin OZONE, I began to hear different storles aboLrt theNappy Roots and I aLtegedty beefing. I have atwaysbeen on good terms with the Nappy Roots, bLlt at thetime I had lost conlact with them whjch didn't hetpthe situatjon. Peopte woutd ask, "Do you and NappyRoots stjlL taLk?" When I tett people that lhaven'theard from them in a wirite it causes them to makefurther assumptions that we are beefing. But thefact is, they're busy workjng on thejr music and tour'ing and I am busy with my career 50 that leaves minj'mal time to communicate wjth one another. PeopLe

shoutd reaLize that just because we do noi keep con-stant communication doesn't mean that we don'thave a positive retationship. This weekend lwas inTal{ahassee for TJ's DJ's Record Pool meeting, and I

met up with a partner of mjne who goes to schooi jn

Taltahassee. He informed me that he was at a locaLbarbershop recentty and watked in on a discussionabout the atteqed conflict between me and theNappy Roots. He said the peopte in the barberghopweren't talking as if they were confused about thebeef; instead, thev were talking as if we were of'ficiatty at war against one another. Apparentiy, theyhad seen the ad in OZONE. To hear that this G-Mackvs. Nappy Roots topic was coming up randomty wasdisturbing, because ldjdn't reaLize how widespreadthe subject was. lt amazes me how people are socontroverslatJ and forget about what happened to2pac and Biqgie. Biq V lof the Nappy Roots] and I de-cided not to feed into the hype, and we're workingon a mixtape together with Rob Jackson. - G-Mack,bjgmackS59@aol.com (l-exington, KY)

I loved your DJ Profile on DJ B-Lord. He is a greatDJ, and every tjme I hear about hirn being at a ctubin the fMyrtle Beach, SCI area

l'm a great writet butoniywhenImlnsprred.What's more inspiring thansex? My dirty storjes have beenknown to bust a few tong-dis-tance nuts, but even though it'sthe sex issue I'm not going to blessVou readers with any trashy romance nov-ets. l'm sure my mother is going to readthis jssue and tecture me about my deprav-ity iike tast year Ptus, I'd rather writeabout the bitch that pjssed me off at Jer-maine Dupri's Hattoween party. Everyonetoves it when I knock oLrt the haters with a

single swoop of the pen,

Her name was Nefertiti, so that alone shouLd tetl you something.I can take constructive criticism, but a wise man once said: lf youdon't have anything good to say, keep your mouth shut.

Admjttedly, having spent a few long days on the road, I was tjredand not in a great mood to begin with. lwander around the partygetting lome shots of the DJs (C Styles and Mars, thanks for theshoutouts!) and cetebs. Then, ! sit down at a tabte way in the back,far away from everyone etse, obviousty minding my own bu5inessand wanting to be Left aLone. Here comes Nefertiti, snatching a

magazine off my piLe and handing me her business card. I have a camera around my neck, 50she assumes that I'm just a pirotographer working for the magazine. She asks jf I'm avaiiabieto freetance, and sarcasticalty comments that "they" must not be paying me enough. I smllepolitety. Next, she starts flippinq through the magazine and crjticizing. Ihe cover? "This isso corny!" There's aiways room for improvement, but I've been doing graphic desjgn for fiveyears now and I've never heard it described as "corny." lt'5 just an opinion, so I tet it slide.Page by page, Nefertiti has a negative comment on everything. And yet she is stitt reading. Thephoto galteries? "Oh my God, look at how many pjctures they have crammed together Howav!4utl" When she gets to the middte and sees the CD inse.t (which reqojred hours and hours ofmanual labor by myself, MaLik, and Mercedes) she wrinktes her face up jn disgust and explainsthat she needs a djfferent magazine because her CD is "cGcked." I expiain that it is not theCD that's cracked, jt's just the smalt opening in the clear adhesive sleeves where the CDs

are inserted. She responds snottjLy, "l guess they can't afford better packaging." Finatty, shespends a good thirty seconds attempting to rip the CD sleeve oLrt and stick it in her pretty titttepurse. She jsn't smart enough to just remove the CD from the pLastic packagjng, so she getsfrustrated and throws the entjre magaztne onto the floor under the tabte and storms away.

I iike to gjve the underachievers somethjng to aspire to, so whenever somebody pjsses me offI give them a free subscription. Nefertiti may be reading this right now, so let this be a tessonto ail you dumb fucks: find out who someone is before you tatk down to them. lguess OZONEjsn't for everyone, but if you're too bougie to appreciate a hustie, stay away from me.

A few of you are probabLy expectinq me to comment on a cedain indie record label o\anerwho's read The Art of Wat one loo many times. I had a few chor'ce words prepared, but I de-cjd€d not to particjpate in the Jedj mind tricks. He already showed his true "family" vatues jnJacksonviltej there's nothing more for me to say. l'd al5o like to thank the guy who dumped hisdrink on my camera at Trina's birthday party. Thanks for offering to buy me a new one, too.

Anyway, il's been said that fame is a sexuaLly transmitted djsease- lt'5 true; why etse woutdnames like Monica Lewinsky, Paris Hilton, and GLorja Vetez appear jn our pop culture vo-cabulary? So, who better to talk about sex than celebrities for our lecond annual sex edition?Unfortunateiy, we weren't able to interr'iew everyone. Ciara and Shawnna both declined todiscuss their goodies and pussy poppin'. The queen of dancehatl fitth, Lady Saw' was in a badmood when we asked her to tist ten vrays to steal someone elses' man, and Lil Jon declined todiscuss his recent bachelor party on the record. BLrt, we do have some controversial. groupieconfessjons, Jacki-O's extensive sexuaL dictionary and some interestjng stories from artiststjke LjL Scrappy, Camron, and Lil Wayne. AIL jn all, this month's sex issue witi excite you, butultimately leave you feening for more - just Like the reat thing.

Rreparing for his photo shoot in an Atlanta recording studio, T.l,Pis all business, His entire crew is on-hand, including his businessI partners in his label Grand Hustle Entertainment; his posse, thePSC (Pimp Squad Clique); and Grand Hustle's female rappers Xtaci. DJDrama's Gorgsto 6rillz: Down With the King mixtape is blaring throughthe speakers over and over, a constant reminder of T.l.'s lyrical assaulton his current rival Lil Flip. Despite being locked up for part of the year,T.l. certainly knows how to keep his name current ln the streets. still,you get a glimpse of T.l. the famity man when he takes a quick lunchbreak in the studio lounge with his youngest son and longtime girl-friend, former Xcape singer Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, A few weeks later,we caught up with T.l. by phone while handting some business in NYCfor his upcoming album, Urban Legend.

when we were doing your photo shoot, you were commenting thatthere's "nice T.1." and "cocky T.1." ls there some truth to that?I have a hot head sometimes, but I don't think I'm hatf as bad as peoptethink I am. lt's ying and yang. There's positives and negatives to everythingyou do.

You had one of your children there with you at the studio. How do youbalance having a career and having kids?It's a sacrifice. t have four kids, and basicatty, l'm being there for themless now so I can be there more latet That's a mission, making sure theyhave everything they need. Luxuries and necessities. They're not gonnabe spoited, though. They're gonna have the things they need but they wittunderctand and respect the vatue of a dotlar as long as I'm there.

You made a joke that your son should be on the magazine cover - wouldyou encourage your kids to rap, or be in the entertainment business?I want my kids to do whatever they want to do. I want them to have accessto anything they want to do. ldon't want their options to be limited.

As you've been promoting your new album, it seemslike you've been working hard to brand your labelGrand Hustle more so than the label you're signed to,Atlantic.lmean, Attantic don't need my hetp. Attantic was thehome of Patti LaBetle and a tot of other tegends, if l'mnot mistaken.

IT'M THE

our chief of staff, They keep the shit moving, make sure shit is in orderfor us. Ctay brings in different opportunitjes and Doug [Petersonl does aswett, They're tike two different reatms of the company, CLay deats morewith promotions and endorsements, things tike that.

You stirred up the streets with your DJ Drama/Gangsta Grillz mixtapeaimed at Lil' Fllp, Down with the King, There's been a lot of contro-versy around you calling yourself the "King of the South," so how canyou justify that?Man, the peopLe support me, period. I'm the King of the South becauseI said so.

Did Scarface know that the conversations you had with him about Lil'Flip were being recorded?Yeah, yeah. He knew he was being recorded.

Now that the South is finally getting recognition in the hip-hop world,do you think it hurts the South to have two of lts biggest artists againsteach other?I don't give a damn if you're in the South, North, East, or West, if two menhave a probtem they gonna have to handle the situation. Att this shit about"unity," man, you just unify with whoever you wanna unify with. Ain'tnone of your business what the next man do. You can't telt me who not tomuthafuckin' have a disagreement with, Where the fuck were you whenthis bitch was on stage sayin' "Game Over"? I don't give a fuck about whatnone of these niggas say. That's how shit gets btown up to be bigger thanit reatty is. There's other peopte comin' in sideways, puttin' they nosewhere a muthafucker don't betong. I don't need no hetp, no muthafuckin'peanut galtery Shit, man, anybody who knows me knows that anything I

say, pimp, it's cause I mean it. I ajn't never said nothing that wasn't onmy heart. I ain't never said anything that I didn't stand behind, whetherit's "King of the South" or anything I've said on the record.

Did you get the reaction you were hoping for from themixtape?Man, I ain't looking for no reaction. l'm lookjng to un-cover the truth and tett peopte what's reaLty going on.There's a lot of muthafuckers faking and flossing andtying for so long, l'm showing peopte what the real is. lfyou choose to betieve [Lit' Ftip] then continue on, but ifyou're the kind of person I am, you'tl want to know thetruth for reaL and l'm just putting r't out there for you.Muthafuckers are lying, man. I wanna show how they arewhen they ain't actin' tike they hard. Man, quit mutha-fuckin' flexin'for the cameras and microphones and be areat person. I ain't lookin'for no muthafuckin' reaction,

KING OFTHE

'AUTHrerease arbums rrom Grand H"'rt BECAUTE I$AID tA.n

Do you plan tothrough Atlantic?That's possible. lt hasn't been discussed yet. We've gotBig Kuntry Mac-Boney, AK, and C-Rod.

Do you think it's gonna be harder for them to establish their own identi-ties, if they come out kind of under your wlng? A lot of people are tiredof rappers putting on their friends.It's gonna be easier for them. They don't have to go through the shit I

went through. They're spoited, to tetL you the truth. But it ain't just mecoming out and trying to put my friends on, Even back when we first meteach other, I toLd 'em I couLd rap and they were tike, "Shit, us too." Weatways had a common goat, it just happens that I got there first. We'vespent a significant amount of time together; we've known each other sincewe were ten, fifteen.

What's the first release coming from Grand Hustle?It's gonna be a group atbum, PSc. Pimp Squad Ctick. We're gonna putthat out the beginning of 2005. lt's catted 25 to Lr'fe. That's what the guyswanted to name the atbum. They've reatly got control of this project. Atthe end when it's crunch time I might add a tit'something, but they've de-cided what songs they want to be on the aLbum and what artjsts they wantto work with. I ain't reatty tryin' to dictate this project. From what theytotd me, they agreed on the atbum titLe 25 to Lile 'cause they att turned25. and they gon' be on this shit for tife.

On Nelly's song "Pretty Toes, " you've got a line where you said, "l don'twanna rap no more, l'm C-E-O." What's the advantages and disadvan-tages of being an artist and being an CEO?The advantages of being an artist is that everywhere you go, peopte knowwho you are. More recognition, more special treatment. The groupies aregood (ioughs), and you get in ctubs free. But the disadvantage is that youneyer know where the money's going untess you take extra special tjme tofind out. You're not reaLly connected with the ins and outs of the profitsand tosses of the company.

Who's involved with Grand Hustle as a labet besides you, and what aretheir roles?Me and Jason lceter] own the company togethet and Ctay [Evans] i5 like

I don't give a fuck. I gotta say what's on my heart. That's the way I Liveand operate.

One of the arguments Lil' Flip has made is that he'! sold more recordsthan you.Man, he Lyin'. That man sotd tike 1.4, 1.3 mittion right? This man got adouble aLbum, which means it gets doubte scans, That means he's got twoalbums beinq sotd for 512.99, the same price as one of mine. 5o this manain't so{d but 700,000 records, man, Right now we've lsoLd] Uke 910,000.It'5 smoke and mirrors, man. lt's that buttshr't that niggas be puttin'outthere.

Do you think bootlegging has anything to do with it?Bootlegging hurts everybody, not just me, lt hurts everybody's potentiat.I mean, if you come out today and soLd 10 mittion, you coutd've sotd 13mittion if it wasn't for the bootLeggers. That's just part of the businessright now.

What other side income do you have besides music?I do my thing. I have several sources of income, but I'm not gonna put 'ematl out there. I do shows, I setl cars Hea\ry Chevy Ctassic Chevys - that werestore. I'm about to open a new restaurant with my uncte in Bankhead.We got att kinds of things we're working on.

When you put out sonEs like "Look What I Got," do you think the aver-age person who doesn't have a lot of money can relate to that?I feet tjke its 50/50. Hatf of 'em Like to hear that shit 'cause jf they hadthe money they'd do the same thing. But you can't oversaturate themarket with bragging about what you've got, because you've got to havesome kind of substance and meaning other than that. So, I feet tike yourmessaqe shoutd be 50/50 or maybe 60/40 depending on which qroup ofpeopte you're trying to reach. When I say, "Look what I got, " l'm speakingon material things and atso "respect from the niggas and G's." l'm tatkingabout my fottowing, my admiration and presence in the ghetto, not just

tatking about my jewetry and cars.

After an album like Trop ltuzik, now that you're a cetebrity and youdon't have to be on the streets hustling every day, how can you stillspeak to that audience?Because I know what it's Like to be there. I ain't forgot. I stiLt have apresence there. When I say l'm from the ghetto, l'm not just tatkingshit. I tived there for the majority of my tife, and it ain't shit to go back.I ain't never gonna be broke again, but I stitt go back and show [ove. I

try to show peopte that if I made it out of here, you can too. lt meanssomethjng to me, and that coutd change somebody's life. Yo(,t don't gottajust accept your fate. Some peopLe feet tjke they don't have a chance,tike they can't do nothing with their tife. You provide hope.

You've got a Lot of fans who aren't from the ghetto. Why do you thinkthey relate to your music?Trop h'luzik was like 70130. 70% was catered to niggas who don't knownothing but that way of tjfe. With this atbum, I feet tike it's 50/50. ltdon't just cater to them njggas. lt speaks to the trap niggas, but at thesame time it speaks to cats that don't know nothing about the trap.There's cats in the suburbs going to coLtege who just tike to go party.They don't tike to fight and shoot, they just like to have a good time andride around to they big-ass house and tife they happy tife. lt speaks tothose peopte. too. lt s very diverse.

Who is featured on the album?Features, l've got Nelty, 8.G., Lit Wayne, Lit Jon, Trick Daddy, PSC ctique,Jazze Pha, Daz Dittinger. As far as production, l've got beats from JazzePha, the Neptunes, DJ Toomp, David Bannet Scott Storch, Swizz Beatz,and LitJon.

It seems like just recently that they said you'd be locked up for threeyears.I hadn't been sentenced at att, that was just somebody taLkin'aboutwhat they thought was going on. l'm done with that now, l'm just onprobation.

(TI. interrupts the interview, shocked at something he's seeing walkingdown the street in NYC. "Do you know Seon John makes a fuckin' doggiesweoter, man?!? l've got to muthafu.kin' holla at Puff...")

Speaking of Puff, do you have any comments on the election?I have two comments. One, y'att shoutd go out and vote. Iwo, jf Bushwins, we're fucked. They're atl for self, man. They have no attiance with

anybody. They're onLy worried about themsetves and how they could maketheir famiLr'es Uves better.

What would you do if you were President?l'd try to provide substantiat emptoyment for peopte so there woutd be lesscrime. You can't just teLt peopte, "Don't selt dope." lt's just a way to paythe bitts. You can't tetl peopLe, "Don't go rob." I don't rob or setL dope, I

don't do anything iltegal for money anymore. But if I had to choose betweensetting dope or my chitdren starving, guess what l'm going to be doing? lt'snot reatistic to expect someone to make that choice. 5o, I feet tike pro"viding adequate emptoyment shoutd definitety be high on the Presidentiatpriority tist. I atso feet tike education shoutd be equal in the ghettos andthe suburbs. Just because you're from the ghetto, that doesn't mean youshoutd have a subpar education. I think your educatjon shoutd be just asextensive and advanced as someone who Lives in a rich neighborhood.

What was your education like?ldidn't even graduate hjgh schoot, man,

Where do you think you got your business sawy from?I don't know. I just started reading the newspaper when I was three or fouryears oLd. My mom is smart as helt, real book smart. My daddy wa5 reaLstreet smart. I guess that's where I got it from.

Since this is the "5ex issue" of OZONE, I'm going to name some females,and you can tell me how you think they'd be in bed. Gloria Velez?I think she's been through a lot of nasty shit, so she'd be reat open. I don'tknow, I might wanna try putting her in the same bed with some of the othergirls on your List.

Beyonce.She off timits, man. That's my homeboy girt.

Vivica Fox.She seems, uh, experienced. l'd want her to teach me something, When l'mwith otder women I wanna learn something, ya dig?

Trina-She seems ljke she might have a few tricks up her steeve.

Remy Martin.Nah, she'd wanna be in controt. lain't with that. lcan't do that. (pduse)Whoa! Speak of the deviL, there go Remy right now. Let me go hotta at FatJoe about some business. Hotd on. (long, long pause)

Okay, how 'bout Paris Hilton?She's interesting, yet frajt. I don't think she coutd take it. I don't generattydo white women. l've had, uh, encounters, but l've never stept with a whitewoman. lt's just that l'm an ass man. I tike asses, and white women gener-alLy have more titties. Not to say that they're not nice; I tike a set of nicetitties as much as the next man. I know a Lot of coot white broads and wecan go kick it and drink and have a good time, but you know, that attractjonjust don't be there. I've seen a few on TV that I might consider.

Like a Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera?Yeah Britney could probabty get it. Chrjstjna coutd get it. Britney got a lit'ass back there! But l've onty seen 'em on ry so I don't know. They may haveadded something to make 'em look a tittte more votuptuous.

Do you think there's a difference sexualLy between different races?llike Latin girts, like Puerto Ricans and Brazitians. latso like mixed girls atot, I don't think there's a difference sexuatty, though. lt just depends onthe person.

Has your sex life changed since you became a celebrity?Man, l've atways been that way. lwas aLways a ladies man. When lwas inhigh schoot, lwas the nigga with atL the girts. I was in the 8th grade tryin'to hotta at the girLs in 12th grade. lwas in the 5th grade tryin'to hotta atthe girLs in the 8th grade. Right now, this just shows everybody what kindanigga I am. I haven't changed.

I was with you in Tallahassee the other day after your performance, andthere were a lot of females chasing after you saying they love you andthey'll die if they don't touch you. How do you keep stuff like that fromgoing to your head?I know they gon' say that about anybody. lt's not me, it's my position that'smaking them do that. When you start betieving that it's you, that you'rethe reason, that's when you get big-headed and lose sight of what's realtyimportant, That's what Public Enemy meant when they said, "Don't beuevethe hypel"

How did you originally get into the music industry?lwas born into it. I have a lot of famity that are musicians orin the musicindustry I guess you coutd say I was a roadie, carrying bags, being on thescene, being a runner. When I started taking it seriously and putting myfocus into it, my first officiat job was on an internship [evel at Jive.

What artlsts did you go on the road with?Brand Nubian, Heavy D, X-CLan, Pac, a lot of different artists. Anybodylwas cool with who needed somebody just to be on the team and befocu5ed and hetp promote. ljust started doing street team and regionalcoLtege radio promotions, and that's hor,v lgot a job at Hot 97.5 inAttanta back in the day, I wa5 a programmer during the day and apersonatity at night.

Why did you get out of radlo?I got fired. I trul.y don't know why, to this day. The technical reason thatwas given to me was that I didn't do my job sufficiently, but I know thatI did, I guess it wa5 just potitics, or for whatever reason. I love radio, tothis day. I tove it behind the scenes and on the air.

Do you think you'll ever go back into radio?I haven't reatty teft, because l'm constantLyin contactwith programmersand DJs. I tatk to DJs, I tel,l 'em how to do their breaks better. I comeup with radio promotions to hetp promote my artists. I woutd tove to getback into radio.

Ludacris was a personality on the same radio station, right? ls thathow you met hlm?Yeah, he used to come to my office and drop off music and ask questionsabout the industry just to get feedback. At some point, we just created aretationship and a mutual respect. When he asked me to be his manager,at the time I reatty didn't want to do it. A tot of artists had asked me tomanage them because lwas the music director, so they figured lcoutdget their record ptay. Something about him and the way he approachedme just made me say yes. From there, jt's been history.

When you first heard Ludacrls rap, what appealed to you?The thing that stuck out was that he sounded different than everybodyelse that was coming out of the south at that time, and he coulddefinitety rap his ass off.

Have you watched him grow musically since that time?l've seen so much groMh it's ridiculous. lt's not even the same artist,in the sense of progression. He's a perfectionist, He atways wants toprogress and he doesn't want to be repetitive, he's aLways tooking fordiversity.

A lot of peopte speak hlghly of you a5 a manager. What do you thinkseparates you from everyone else?I don't know. I guess it's just a matterof perspective. Maybe my approachand how I deal with business sets meapart. Everybody's job is to market andpromote their product. The product, inthis case, is the artist. A tot of peoptecan do that wett, and from that pointon, it's att about retationships. I likeinteracting with peopte because itatlows me to transfer and bouncethings off them and vice versa, andthat creates great retationships.Retationships are what tife and thisgame js buitt upon,

ls lt difficutt to be partners with afamily member?Yes, I have seven brothers and sevensisters so I only work with a certanifew of them. Me and my brother UeffDixonl are partners, and we're areatmost direct opposites and we argueatt the time, but we argue to makeeach other better and to give eachother different perspectives. We watcheach other's backs, and it's a beautifut

thing to work with famity when

Chingy recently left DTP. Howwould you analyze or explain thatsituation?I can analyze it a bunch of different ways, but the onty way I canexplain it is that dude just felt he wanted to do his own thing separatefrom DTP The stuff that he's sayjng about me personalty is fabricated.Everyone's gonna ask, "Why woutd you teave DTP when you just soLdthree mittion records?" It's an army, a team, He's gotta make stuff upso that it witt make sense. There's peopte getting in his ear. lf there'san issue, bring it to the source. Bring it to us. He hasn't talked to mein over ejght months, He never tatked to me about the situation, Inpassing I'd always say, "Whenever you're ready to sit down, tet's tatk,"and he'd say, "Yeah, we'tl get together," but it never happened.

Do you think he would have sold three mil if he wasn't Mth DTP?It's possibte. There's ptenty of artists that have good records and donothing and there's plenty of whack artists that btow up. lt's all abouthow you're presented to the wortd, and how they accept you.

Does it make you hesitant to sign any new artists?I mean, that's the business I'm in. The onty thing that makes me hesitantis that l'm a very personat person. it just makes me wary because meand his reLationship was business and personat, but it was a definitiveUne. I've never crossed it, but to me, he did.

What other projects are you working on?We just did our futt-fledged tabet deal with DTP through Def Jam forour new artists Eobby V Sharissa, Norfclk, and a rock band, Lazy Eye.We picked up FieLd Mob through Geffen, we sti(t have l-20 at Capitat,and we have Playa Circte at Universat. We have deats at four differentlabets. We're constantty doing fitms through our production company,we've got three movies sold. Ludacris is invotved in some of those, andl-20 is aLso making his acting debut. We're trying to find the next cropof up-and-coming btack HotLywood stars, We're trying to create historycreate superstars who are very cutturatty relevant. We want to continueto grow as a company and surpass what my mentors have brought intothe game so that the peopte who come behind me can surpass what

l've done.

What ls the key to success?Being open"minded and witting to tearnsomething new every day.

How do you feel about the newmanagenent at Def Jam?You have opportunjtjes to do businesswith peopte up-close and personat,and from afar. Me and L.A. Reid havea relationship that spans way back andhe's a good guy. lwish hirn the best inwhat he's doing at Def Jam, and rightnow he's my business partner, so we'reapproaching the game together,

Anything else you'd like to say?Love the magazine, For real, I do, lt'sfresh, it has its own format. You movearound a Lot and get good pictures 50 it'skinda tike seeing the worLd from yourperspective. You're everywhere!

What kind of guy is Teedra Moses into?Physicatty, I normatly tike very, verydark-skinned guys, but l'm not just reL-egated to that. I like guys that can teachme something, guys that are confident,because I thjnk that spilts over into thebedroom. I definitely tike an aggressiveguy in bed.

Since you've become a celebrity, haveyou had any male groupies?My criteria for a man is realty, reatlyhigh, so I don't date a tot. 50, the guysthat come try to attach themsetves tome because of how I sing or the songsI sing, they never get ctose. I haven'treatly experienced any mate g.oupies.I don't have security so guys can watkup to me after a show and l'tt be cor-diat, but they can teLl by my attitude.They'tl be tike, "l tove the way you wjndyour body on stage and dance. Can wehookup?" I tett 'em that I'm just focusingon my career right now.

What about your ex-boyfriends or guyfriends, have they changed at all sinceYour career has started to take off?No, cause they know the real Teedra,I've atways acted the same way, But,their homeboys are tooking at the yideolike, "Damn, Teedra fine as hel[," and itkinda makes them feetweird.

How important is it to your career fo.you to put forth a sery image?The onty rea5on it's important is becauseI'm a very sexual person. I'mnottryingtobe something l'm not, Everything I write about,even if it's a serious matter, comes across sen-sual. Being sexy is very important because I'm awoman, so why wouLdn't I be? lt's not that I wantto sell it and make everything about sex, but it'sa part of every woman. It's a part of everyone.

Being a woman Ir the industry, have you hadany glys offer to help you. caree. if you 5leptwith them?Oh, no. They know l'm a grown woman, not alittte kid. That stuff doesn't impress me, and I

woutdn't want to be stuck with them afterwards.No, l've never had that problem. lt's never beenan issue with me. l'm a person that truty retieson my tatent and my gift of gab, lf I run acrosssomebody that lactuatty am interested in, hemight get it. But you're not gonna get jt justcause you can do something for my career. lcando that for mysetf.

What's your status right now?I had a realty iong relationship that lasted twe{veyeaB, and I haven't had a boyfriend Jince. I'mnot stressed to be in a retationship right now.

ln a twelve-year relationship, wa5 it hard tokeep the sex interesting?No, actualLy it was very interesting. lt's evenbetter when you're with somebody for a tongtime because you know more about them. Basi-catty you've just gotta get into character. Somenights you wanna be sensual and make tove, andsome nights you wanna go hard. Some nights youjust want it to be reatty qujck so you can go tosleep (Laughing). When you realize you're beingroutjne, you have to take it to a different levet.No man or woman wants to do the same thingevery time you have a sexual encounter Some-times I'm very submissive, sometimes I'm verycontrotling. Sometjmes I want to be totd what todo. Sex is never the same.

Do you recall saying anything embarrassing inbed, or having anything weird said to you?Wett, there was one dude. I don't know whathe was talkjng about, but he kept saying, "Ooh,your sl.omach. your stomach. Have you beenworkjng on your stomach?" lt was tike, shit, didI have a gut before? He just kept saying it, andhe could barely even see my stomach. He wasgetting ready to orgasm and kept taLking aboutmy damn stomach. That was kinda weird.

Does size matter?Size is very important. Everybody says it'sabout the way you use it. No, it's not. lf itdoesn't make you feel tike anything is evenin there, what is there for you to use? Sizeis important to me. I don't know about otherwomenr I mean, no one wants someone to btowthey back out comptetelyr but you do wantsomething you can feel (laughinq.

What's your favorite position?My preference would be me on top. Ot fromthe back from the side, [ike, layinq down.

"l d<tnYrcsnf eryl cor/nlrt-'tttion in lhe btdru:owl,\lgego\too bEforfhet.ft\ellahout rare end ha,u I

What do you think about phone sex?I tike phone sex. When you travet a lotsometimes you have to do that.

Are you into porn?l'm not big on porn, because when I'mwith a man it's about me. Whatevershe's doing is great, but l'm not gonnasit here and compete v{ith her. lf he'sgonna get aroused by looking at her andhave sex with me, no, my ego's too bigfor that. I'm not into other girls, I knowthat's some peopte's thing, but I don'twant any competition in the bedroom.It's atl about me and how I put it down.When he gets up the next morning I wanthim to be thinking about Teedra,

lf you could caeate your own porn,what would be the ideal scenario?When you get on stage and perform,it's orgasmic. I perform with a band, sothere's so many different energies upthere on stage. lf it was porsibte, I woutdtove to just be grabbed off the stage atthat moment and just taken, you knowwhat I mean? That woutd be perfect.It's not reatty possibte, cause I might goto jail or something. But that would begreat cause it's two of the things I toveso much. Fjrst I'd get off just by beingon stage and then l'd have sex with aman. He'd have to be reaLly aggressive,slam me against the watt, that type ofthing. That's how lam on stage, realaggressive.

HaYe you ever had sex in public?l've done it in a grocery store before, late atnjght. My ex-boyfriend and I were in a z4-hourgrocery store. lt was about three in the morning.You know where the yogurt aiste is, kind of in thegrocery section? By the titt(e side yr'att, there'snormalty a door or something. We kinda duck€doff to the side rjght there. I think that having sexin pubtic is very sexy. I don't think sex is a nastything or a bad thjng, especiaLty when it's twopeopte that care about each other. I think youshoutd do it in public, as long as it's not aroundkids and stuff! {loughing.,

I'm going to name some rappers, and you tellme how you think they'd b€ tn bed. Lil Wayne?Li[ Wayne is cuLe. he's a handsome young man. I

don't know, he's too young for me. I can't took athim in that way.

P Diddy?I love the yr'ay he dresses, but he's too manicuredfor me. I like rugged men.

Petey Pablo?He tooks tike he could reaLly put it down.

Tyrese?He's a very nice looking young man. but he's apretty boy. He's attractive. but just not for me.

Who could get it?Stephon Marbury could get jt. He's married, so I

apologize to his wife, but it's her fautt for havinga fine-ass husband. Atlen lverson coutd get it too,ail day long. He s married too. so no disrespect tohis wife, but that's my kind of man right there.

Anything else you want to say about sex?It's good, I tove it, and I plan to do a Lot of it forthe rest of my tifel iioughing)

tet's go to the room and fuck missionarythat shit is borjng. women want excitement,

they don't wanna be tike, "Just fuck me andget off me."

I heard you aren't reallylAike Jones: Wett, I tikedwith Lit Wyte. He cool, man,same way. I got a girt, and I

everything jumped off, so I wanna takea chance of messing it up over somebody whoonty tikin' me 'cause l'm "Mike Jones."

But you've got lyrics like "l got a lot of hoes'cause I got a lot of money," Are you just say-ing that to sell records?/VJi No, that's reat. But when I say "l got a totof hoes," I mean, I've got a lot up on me nowbecause l've got money. Now a lot of hoes arecomin'at me'cause I moved out of the ghetto,but I ain't takin' advantage of that.

How do girts usually approach you?,1,1J: Man, they come up to me and sing [mysongsl tike "Dick don't fail me now,," or "FeeLgood, don't you?" They're [ike, "Can you dothat for me? Can you show me that?" But theycoot, though, they don't be trippin'.

The lyrics to "Feel Good" sounds like it'tbased on a personal experience.

J: (loughing) \eah, that was from the heart.What that song reatty means is like, if a dudeis with a girt and he puttin'it down on her,makin' her feel good mentatty and physicatLy,and she start trippin'or messin'up he's justreminding her. "You feetgood, don't you? Reatgood, don't you? You don't want thi5 dick upin nobody else good, don't you?" Basicatty, youbetter quit trippin' before I put it in somebodyetse.

Being on the road and having a lot of womenthrow themselves at you, how hard is it to bein a committed relationship?,1,1J: To be reat, it's not hard. But it's tike, ifyou've got a girt who you don't realty trust,then dudes are tike, "Shit, if she trippin' thenl'm gonna be trippin'." But with me, that trustis there so I don't want nothing that'tl comeback around on me and then I'tt be feeungguitty. ljust be chitLin', man, ldon't be mess-ing with those girts.

Do you think people assume that you fuckgroupies, since you're a rapper?iUi A tot of fame brings a tot of girts, but it attdepends if you want to take advantage of it ornot. lt ain't just rappers, it's footbatl ptayers,whoevet anybody that's successful and popu-tar in the public eye. And being famous meansthey paid, so a tot of girls, they after that mealticket. And there's a tot of people that just beboppin', and I appreciate the love that peopleshow. l'm a cool dude, but a lot of dudes dotake advantage of it. With a lot of rappers, if agirt comes up and she fine and wants to do thisand that, it's tike, "Wett, come on then, tet'sget in the truck and get busy." But nah, it ain'ttike that with me, and it ain't tike that witha lot of other rappers too. lt's a job. I mean,don't get me wrong, I tove doing what I do. Butat the end of the day, it's a job.

There's a rumor that says that you turneddown Mya, ls that true?hlJ: (loughing) Mya's a good friend, she's realcoot. She was tjstening to my CD, A friend ofmine down in New Orteans had hit me and said,"Hey, I got somebody who's a fan of yours." Heput her on the phone and said it was Mya. I was

llffi "\*f i:ft ilii;#",i::"Tx

was, for real. sheOrteans so I was

tike,

New Orteans and met her the same night. Me, her,and Choppa did a song together. She coot, man.5o from then on we've been keeping in contact,She caLled me the other day, actuatty, My girt knowabout her, I mean, it ain't Like that. She's just reat,real coot. She's a good person.

so Paul, why do they callyou the chick magnet?Paulwall: ln my earlier raps I used to always referto "catchin' boppers. " see, you've got golddiggers,groupjes, and boppers. A goLddigger is somebodywho wants your money, a groupie is somebody whowants to steep with you cause of your status, anda bopper is somebody who just wanna be seen withyou cause of your status. A bopper is generalty agirl, but not necessarily a girt. And it's not neces"sarily because you're a rapper, you coutd be justa regutar person who has an Escatade on 24's sothey wanna be seen with you. So, I used to atwayssay, l'm so fly that lcoutd catch boppers if I rodeon spare tires and donuts. I ain't gotta have 24's,girts stitt be boppin'off me cause l'm so fly. So myhomeboys used to be tike, "You the chick magnet,Paut, l'm gonna stand next to you." You know, I'vegot a good personatity and good tooks, so I do gen-eraLty have a lot of girLs flock to me cause they'veheard about the legend of Pautwalt.

What exactly is the legend of Paulwalt?PW: The bedroom tegend. They've heard aboutthe, um, squeakation of the bed springs, makin'em feet like they watkin' on the moon.

50 you haYe a certain technique?Pl{i Yeah, I sexercise a lot. Three to four times aweek, it hetps keep me in good shape. The MushuAcademy, that's where I tearned the tricks of thetrade.

ls it fair to say that you take advantage of the,uh, perks of being a rapper?PW: I witL say this: lt's kinda impossible for me tomeet a girl that isn't at least somewhat intriguedby the fact that l'm a rapper. They might haveseen me on TV or heard my music, but that onlygets me so far. Some girts that'tt get you in theypanties, but not atl the time. lf that's what I'maftet what's gonna get me in there is my personal"ity and just my whote demeanor. I have four sistersand I grew up wjth a singLe mother, so I don't dis-respect any women. Never have, never witt. I'mreat respectful of atl ladies, but at the same tjme,a tot of women are intrigued by me being a rapper.So, do I exceed the timits? Maybe sometimes I do,They might get to feet what it's tike to watk on themoon, on occasion.

There aren't too many white rappers in thegame, so you're a minorlty. Do you prefer blackwomen or white women?PW: Atl women, all women. I don't prefer any ofem, I just love all colors. Everything, for reat.

What! Paulwall's ideal female look like?PW: Junk in the trunk, rear-end extended cab,gotta have that. Pretty face too, I tike att women,though. I tike big women, stim women, skinnywomen, but I preferwomen with junk in the trunk.See, some girls think they thick. lt be a tot of skin-ny girts tatkin' about they "thjck" just cau5e theygot a booty, but that ain't what "thick" is. "Thick"generalty refers to the thiqhs and hips. But I tikeall types of girls, for reat, and I tike girts for they

personatities too. You could check my resume,

Any famous women on your resume?Pl* We've got a tot of wett-known women onthe resume. I can't name any names, though,cause that woutd knock me out of the box fordoing it again.

You can't give us any hints?PW: Wett, there's a couple professionat athteticwomen, some multi-mutti-mutti-ptatinum R&Bsingers, and a few rap femates. I can't say nonames, I can't give too many hints. At[ I can sayis that I've got a hett of a resume. And mostof the women say they're not attracted to mecause l'm a rapper, it's more my personauty andmy demeanor.

What's the craziert way a g.oupie has ap-Proached you?PM lt's been some crazy shit tike girLs throwin'tbey panties on stage and stuff. You know,you usuatty hear about that happening at rockconcerts or something back in the day, but l'venever seen that before in my Ufe. One time agirt threw her panties and her bra on the stage.The funny part is when l'm on the road, there'speople that don't reatly know me, but they befrontin' Like they know me so they're the onesthat get the reat groupies. They'tt act tike theyknow me to get to the girts and they end upsmashin' more girLs than me. But with me, it'snot necessarity about smashin' as many girls asI can, That ain't what it's atL about,

Are you looking for a steady girlfriend, orjustlooking to have a good time?PW: I have a lot of part-time lovers. I don'thave a girtfriend, but I know it's gonna bea whole bunch of gjrls reading this that aregonna be mad at me for sayin' that. (loughtng)There's gonna be a couple girts in every citytatkjn' about, "What you mean, you ain't gotno qirtfriend?" They gon' catl and cuss me out...I mean, yeah, I'm tooking for a good woman.But we party a tot, \,ve on the road a lot so it'snot necessarity about smashing as many girtsas we can or whatever, we just like to have agood time.

So is there any difference between famouswomen and regular women in bed?PW: Oh, yeah, there's a big difference, lt's kin-da hard for famous women to get picked up byguys cause usuatty they security is reaL strong.The onty guys that can really get to 'em tend tobe celebrities, so the celebrity mackin'game isa tittte different than a regutar person. Cetebri-ties don't usuatly have to do too much. Most of

the women, if they're sleeping with a cetebrityit's generalty just cause they wanna say theyslept with em, But with me, that's neyer whatit was about. Atmost any girl I ever stept with,it wasn't cause of my rapping status or what-ever, they reatly tiked me. But sometimes it'sthe opposite. A tot of the girts I meet are tike,"Oh, you think I'm finna tatk to you just causeyou Paulwatt?" No, I think you gon' tatk to mecause l'm cute, cause I got a lot of money, causeI ain't no loset cause l'm funny, I got a goodpersonatity, and lcan dress qood. You know,why woutdn't you want to tatk to me? Not beingconceited, but that's just confidence.

(Our interyiew is interrupted by o girl telingl{ike she loves him, and asking Pdul for o hug.lAike osks her if she's visited his website yet,www.whomi kej ones, com )

PM Anyway, when we go to other cities, thegirts that approach us are the same girts thatapproach every cetebrity. l'tt meet girts thatknow atl the rappers, footbaLl ptayers, and NBApLayers. That's a tittte scary. So, we don't reattytaLk to groupjes, we tatk to women.

And being a rapper just makes it easier tomeet women.PW: Oh, it definitety makes it easier to meetwomen cause of who we are. You know, ourjokes are a tittte bit more funny. They take us alittle more seriously. If a girt is watkin'throughthe ctub and the average dude taps her on theshoulder, she gonna say, "Don't touch me." Butif I tap her on the shoutder, she gon' at leasthear me out.

Do you have some good pickup lines?PW: I'm just a funny guy, l'm a nice guy, sowhen I'm tatking to girts I gotta be corny andcheesy. Dudes are gonna read this and be tike,"Oh, wow, that's so Lame," but when girts hearit in front of they face, it works. They think-ing, I can't betieve Pautwatt just totd me, "lfI coutd change outfits, l'd put you and metogether." (loughing) But that shit be workjn'though, cause it put a smite on they face. see,you taughing too, ahhh! JB! But yeah, that shitworks. I can't give you the btueprint to mackin'though, I mean, you reatty just gotta be your-setf. When the average dude tries to tatk to agirl, at first he usually tries to put up a front,actin' hard or actin' like they got money orwhatever. lf you just be yoursetf, that changesthe girt's whole outtook on things. I mean, attthis stuff was happening before I was rapping.Girts have atways been drawn io me and at-tracted to who I am. I've got the g(ow.

Not even with your girl?

^{Ji I can't do that, man, I'd be kicked out of

Swishahouse, lt's like a vegetarian who doesn'teat meat; we just don't eat that stuff at theSwishahouse.PW: (covering llike & T Fdrris' eors): Earmuffsl I

mean, if the case catts for it, I'tt go down!J : Ohhhhhhhh! I r ! r r I M ! I I

PW; See, now girts are gonna read thjs shit andbe tike, "Oh, fot real?" (loughing) Hey, if the casecatts for it. Yeah, I've done it before.

Every guy has,l,lJ: I ain't never done that. I swear to God I ain'tnever done that. I mean, I ain't sayin'that I won'tever, but I just can't see myself doing that.

lfyou can receive, why not give? Whythe double5tandard?i,lJ: lt's a tot different than gitls. (holds up arotled-up mdgazine ond uses it to demonstrute)See, our shit is tike, right there in front of yourface. Y'aLl's shit is Like, up, inside. There's stuffcomin', going. I don't be down with alL that shit,PW; That ain't some shit that woutd happen on aone-night stand, but if it's somebody I'm steadywith. it ain't no thang.

Actually, what I was gonna ask about your teethis, are the grills part of your public persona? Doyou take em out when it's a personal situation?/tU: After the show I take em out. The teeth don'tmake us who we are, lt's just how we are downSouth, in Houston, we just tike to shine. ln thisbusiness we do a tot of tatking, we have a lot offans tike, "Oh, that's clean," but when we get inthe room just chiltin' that shit be off. Even whenl'm in the studio doing a song, I take em out. lt'sjust tike a chain, you don't wear it everywhere.PW; ln the heat of the moment, you never know.But the teeth don't make us, we make the teeth!

What's the craziest thing a groupie ha5 evercome up and said to You?The craziest thing is peopte that be having myname tattooed on'em, When you first meet'em they got tike, Diptomats tattoos or a Cam-ron tattoo. I'm Uke, thank you, but you ain'thave to go through att that! That's crazy.

How do different races act in bed?White girls just wanna have more fun. Wedon't want headaches. And I Love bLack girlstoo, they give me the chattenge I need. Theytike, "Who the fuck you think you taLkin' to?"Sonetimes you need that. But, I don't have apreference. I tike everybody, l'm cotorbtind,

Some people think you're gay, wearlngall that pink and purple and talkingabout'no homo."At the end of the day, I could qive a fuckwhat peopte say. ihat bank accountis what counts. I don't get dressed toplease people, I get dressed to be flyand be who I am. so I understand whatyou saying, and it may have confusedpeopte, but if I realty cared about whatpeopte said lwoutdn't be sitting heretaLkinq to you. I'd be out chasing a

hundred fifty mittion peopte. Honestly,I got that "no homo" thing from dudesin Jefferson Projects. They used to saythat when I was like tweLve years otd,I'm not the creator, I m just a product ofmy environment?

Do you prefer a girl who's laid-back, ora girl who's more aggressive?It depends on what time of year it is.Right now, when we on promo tour, I

don't need no aggressive, telt-me.what-to-do type of woman. I need a girl whowitl understand what l'm doing anddon't give me a headache. lf I'm outof town, I gotta go. But when you jn acity running att over a woman, doinganything you want, sometimes you betike, how stupid is she? l'm gonna keepgetting away with this as long as I can,because obviousty she's not gonna saynothing so I'm not gonna say nothing.It's a batance, I mean, you've gotta findthe right girL at the right time. You gottafind a girt who knows when it's time tosay what she needs to say, and a girl who

knows to shut the fuck up when it's time to shutthe fuck up.

Physically, what attracts you to a girl?A big phat ass. That's my cup of tea. I been do"ing phat asses since I was fourteen. lt's nothingpersonal, but skinny women just don't turn meon. lt's nothing personaL. A girl just asked us theother day, "You tike big butts?" lwas tike (Sir rlix-A-Lot voice), "l cannot deny..." (laughirg)

When was the first time you had sex?Actuatly, the first person I ever had sex with wasmy baby mama, My son is four now. I was thir-teen, we were at her mother's house.

What would you do in bed with someone you'redating that you wouldn't do with a groupie?Sometimes even when you with somebody youain't wanna cuddle, but with a groupie, you defi-nitely don't wanna cuddte after you bust a nut.You not gonna lay there wjth her and hug her un-less you totally drunk, and I don't get that drunk,Either she gotta go or I gotta go.

tcdallgdnrnk."

(As we begin the interview, Jazze ishumming "Fenzel") 15 that your officialname now?Yeah, You know when girts be tike, "lwant your real name!" I tett 'em Fenzet.They tike, "Yo mama ain't named youFenzel!"

Any relation to Denzel Washington?it'! Fenzel Washingtonzel.

You're kinda known for the sexy stripclub-type hook'. lf you could make asex soundtrack, what songs would youput on there?It'd definitety have "Girls in the Ctub"by Sho'Nuff. l'd put some Too Short onthere, Jodeci, Sitk, Genuwine, and someotd stuff. It'd be kinda raunchy. You'vegotta speed it up, then stow it down,

What's the best strip club in Atlanta?l,{agic City isn't open right now, but theyabout to open it back up so l'm gonnasay Magic City. lt's stitt officiat. AndClub Cheetahs, they got some reat nicelookin' chicks in there.

What kind of stripper gets the mosttips from you?The cootest one, not necessarily thebest-lookjng stripper. I [ike somebodythat's cooL, not the ones that are tryin'to ptay you tjke you won't be back. Forexampte, if lgo somewhere Uke Pin-lJp's where the dances are 55, they'tttry to ptay you tike an out-of-townereven thouqh they know you be at MagicCity hard. She'tt dance three times and be Uke,"That's 530." 1'm like, "No, baby, that's S15."lhey won't get another dance from me, I don'tcare what they took tjke. But jf I come back andthey act right, then that's coot. I ain't gonnacount 'em out yet.

Should we expect to see Fenzel's Strip Clubanytime in the near future?Yes. You know what? I think me and Big Boj shouLddo a strip ctub. You know, he's got the Little per-sonal strip poLe at his crib, but l'm tatking aboutan actuatstrip ctub with tike fifty girts. That's histhine, but I mean, I think we shouLd. We haven'treatty tatked about it yet.

How would your strip club be different fromthe rest?When peopte imagine Magic City, they think it'sthis big etaborate cLub wjth beautifut tights orsomething tike that with girts waLkjng across thebar, but when you get there it's just a room. I

mean, jt ain't hot, as far as the way it looks.As a btack entrepreneur, I wouid take jt to thatnext tevet. l'd have aquariums and everythjng. I

mean, jt's just the b.anding of the name and whoyou bring through and who's running jt. lf you'vegot a real hip cat from the streets running jt, it'sgonna be a poppin'ctub. lf you've got a squarecat on the other side of the city with a beautifutctub but he don't know nobody, peopte are stittgonna go to Magic City. lf he don't know nobody,ain't nobody going to his ctub. But, we rnjght gojust cause we know he got some quatity shit.PLus, we don't wanna be with the crowd. ldon'twanna be nowhere where you can't walk in thestrip ctub, that's crazy.

Like how packed it was at that strip club forthe "Get Low" video.Oh, yeah, thatwas crazy. That ptace doesn't evenexist now; they tore it down to the ground.

For celebrities now, it seems like putting outa sex tape is the "in" thing to do.Oh, that's old.

So there's no Jazze Pha sex tapes out theae.Oh, no, not untess somebody etse putted itoff. I'm pretty impromptu, though, so nobodycoutd .eatty putt nothing tjke that with me. I'mnot like, "l'm on my way over to your house,"ljust pop in.

Who's the top three on Jazze's hit list?Hatte Berry Free, and Metyssa Ford, the girtthat just started the show with Tigger on BET.

Anytime a female artist comes in the gameunder the wing of a male artist, there'salways gonna be some rumors. I've heard afew people theorize that you and Ciara had50mething sexual going on.No, nothing tike that. We're real close, though,so maybe that's why peopLe would think that.You know, she might hotd my hand or some'thjng tjke that. But it ain't no thang tjke that.

Okay, l'm gonna throw a few names atygu of famous females and you can sayhow you think they'd be in bed. GloriaVelez?She's a freak. I don't know, it dependson how she's tatking. There's differenttevets of freakiness. I don't think I woutdlike her cause I've atready seen her on

ry on sex tapes, I'd probably have tobe real drunk. lt'd probabty have to bea party situatjon, tike, me and the boys.Choo choo trainl Yeah, we'd Sout Trainon her ass.

Remy r{artin?Nah, that ain't gonna happen. But that'sFat Joe's girL, I can't say anything badabout her

Trina?Trina could get it, you know that. Trina'sa friend oi mine, too, but she stjlt coutdget it. Put it out there and tet herknow.

Alicia Keys?,Aticia Keys is definitety a candidate. shegon' get it att. She can get the reat firstname.

Brigitte Nielsen?Oh, what! I woutd cLjmb up on her back.I wanna wrestte with her.

Shawnna?She kjnda sexy, but me and Shawnnakinda tike buddies.

Lil Kim?Naw, cause you don't know what she gonna tooktjke in the morning. lain't into her.

Venus E Serena Williams?Both of them. They're so rich they coutd get itjust off that.

Oprah?Oprah can definiteLy get jt. Oprah couLd tetL menot to look at ait them other broads and I won't.l'tl Look straight ahead.

Jacki-O?I don't think she's my type. lthjnk she's a sweetheart, and we hit it off with a real artist/producer connection. She can rap, she's dope. She'sgot her own littLe sexy vibe about her, but sheain't my type.

What's your type?I'd have to pojnt it out to you, because I have dif-ferent types. I like taLL gjrLs, though. SometimesI tike a square chick that don't know who I am.That's a turn-on. Like, they might have seen mesomewhere, but they don't reatty know what I do.They just think I know a bLrnch of people. I tjkesma t girls. I tike girts t5at are irto taking ca.eof their man. Not necessarity spending money onme, but just taking care of me in their capacity.Not necessarily catering to you '100%, but just tet-ting you know that you're the man. And I'm notsaying don't have a voice. Ptease. have a voice.I love a woman with an opinion. And, somebodywho's kind of a mother figure cause l've got a son.He's seven,

l'm going to name some females

"na iou i"n t"tt me how you thini

they'd be ln bed. Let's start withT.ina.Trina is fine. I think she woutd prob-abty be great in bed, 'cause I'veheard more than a few things abouther from people in the industry.

Jacki-O?Jacki'O is sexy. She's atso a goodartist.

Britney Spears?Britney Spears is from Louisiana, soshe's a good country girt. I think she'sreally, reatly attractjve but probabtynot great in bed because of her tackof experience, from what I hear. I

think I could teach her a few things.You woutdn't want to know what theyare - that shoutdn't be printed in amagazine (laughing). l'd give her arun for her money.

What do you think about using toysor food in the bedroom?I got mysetf, I don't need no toys. I

don't do no handcuffs or ropes, l'vegot enough toys on my body to keep aperson interested.

How would you describe l1r. Magic''ideaI woman?Mr. Magic's ideat girt is somebodywith a Lot of innocence. I'm not realty into the freaky type, the ones thathave been with too many peopte.I like innocence, that's attractiveto me, I like a girt with a ponytailthat just got out of Cathotic schoot.ln that type of situation, I can train'em and teach 'em- That's what I findattractive about a woman. I don'ttike a tot of makeup, I don't like atot of fake stuff. Fake fingernaits,atl the accessories to make a womanbeautiful, that isn't necessary, I likenatural beauty, lf you wake up in themorning and you're beautiful, you'tlkeep Mr, l,tagic interested, A womanthat makes me happy is a woman whotikes me for me, and it has nothingto do with my stardom or money orwhatever, A woman who likes Awood,not l r. Maglc, A woman that's gonnabe home cooking dinner and keepingthe house ctean, because l'm on theroad consistentty so it's importantto have somebody maintaining myhome tife.

Do you have a lot of groupies ap-proachlng you?I try to cater to my peopte as muchas I can, remembering that this isthe entertainment business. I haYeto make them feel special becausethey're girls that have been buyingmy CDs. ['ve had] girts come upto me saying, "Magic, if I had onechance with you..," and it's so flat-tering, but l'm sure they woutdn'twant to be treated tike a piece ofmeat. The first time you treat a girllike that, that's a lost fan. Girts areso emotionat, When she say that, shemeans everything from her heart andsout and if I don't feel the same and I

take advantage, her feetings wilt get

let'em know it's just music. lt's bestfor me to chill. You don't want me to[fuck you] and teave in the morning.You think I'm what you want, butI'm not. You don't want a man that'sconsistentty on the road. Womenrequire a lot of attention. 50, if youmake love or have sex for the firsttime and then you're gone for twomonths, they gonna feet like, "Oh,he hates me."

Has your sex life changed sinceyou've become a celebrity?Honestly, l'm so focused on mymusic that my sex tife really hasn'tchanged. I didn't need to be a starto have sex. I hate to be a borefor this article, but I'm so focusedI don't reatty have tr'me to indutgein stuff tike that. l'rn trying hard tokeep my consumers happy. Maybeafter l've made thirty mit, I can sitback and have att the sex Iwant.Don't get me wrong, though, I likewomen. Women are beautiful. Sex isa wonderfut thing, and it's importantto have it in your tife. But I try myhardest to stay focused.

Do you think there is such a thingas "tgo much" sex?I don't think there's such a thingif your tife can handte it. lf you'recomfortable in life and you'veachieved atlthe things you want to, I

thjnk you shoutd find some sectudedistand and fuck your brains out tilyou die. That's the best way to goout. But, that's only if you're com"fortable with your achievements.Ithink a tot of people's prioritiesare messed up. That's why you'vegot so many whack atbums, becauselthe artists] aren't focused on themusic and they spend too much timefucking.

l ost people have the p€rceptionthat all rappers fuck grouples altthe tlme. Do you think that's anunfair stereotype?Actuatly, I don't think so. Because I

betieve that 85% of the peopte thatbecome stars do lfuck groupies].And I aLso believe that's why youhave so many one-hit wonders. Theartists that last for years, entertainfor years, are the peopte that's fo'cused. I guarantee if you go to theirhotet room, they're steeping, I vatuesteep. I go straight from one show toanother show, so when I do have abreak it's very important for me tosteep. We entertain peopte, so menwatching our shows betieve thatwe're fuckin' fifty hoes every night,but that's unbetievabte to me. Tostay focused on my work, when I go

up to the room it's time for me tosleep. But, Like I said, probabty 85%

of the lrappers] are doing that, andthat's why their careers probabtywon't tast.

Fl orn and raised in Jacksonville, FL,24-year-l{old Jokisha "Dynasty" Brown is an aspiringymodel. actress, and rapper who appears on

the cover of Fantasy World's 2005 calendar.

How did you decide to pursue the entertainmentbusiness as a career?First I became interested in acting. Modeting wassecond, and then rapping. I was a fan of Janet Jack,son and I aLways knew that I wanted to do musicand entertain, but ldidn't figure out how tit a cou'pLe years later. Singjng wasn't for me. croups likeSatt-N-Pepa inspjred me, Rap reaLty started ctingingto me, and I knew that this is what lwanted to do.lstarted doing tittle tatent shows, and now I've gotthe acting and modetjng and musjc. l'm constantlyputting my music on hotd for modeting, tryjng tojuggte everything at one time.

What's on your resume so far?As far as actjng, l've done severatindependent towbudget fiLms and a lot of ptays and fashion shows inJacksonvitle. We just wrapped up a movie in MjamicaLted Street l.lorey. I ptayed a gangsta girt, and I

end up kilting one of the majn characters. l'm tike ahit girl. lt shouLd be at Btockbuster soon.

You've got a reputation around Jacksonville as ahustler. How have you earned that reputation?[Photographer and Fantasy Wortd pubtisher AtdrickWittiams] says l'm hjs number one selter. He has twoeditions, the Men's Edition and the Dimes Edition.I'm on the cover of both. I was one of the tast sirtsto be added to the catendar.

Where do you sell the calendars?Mostly in the cLubs, barbershops, flea markets, andcar washes. I get so much [ove, everyone's sup-portjve, lf l'm jn the grocery store, l'm outsidetike, "Hey, wouLd you tike to purchase a catendar?"I'm surprised that even femates have been buying.They make good Chr istmas presents.

Do the guys that buy the calendar hit on you?I get a tot of comptements; they usuatty want meto hook them up wjth different girts. lt makes themhappy to buy it 'cause you sign it for them. 5o,they're tetLing their friends they know me or what-ever and that's what setts.

Any celebrities you've met?I just did the Trick Daddy video for "Let's co," thatwas a cool set to hang out on. I know Twista, T.1.,they're coot. I talk to Tigger every now and then.

Have you had artists offer to help out your ca-reer, with 5trings attached?Yeah, I've heard that before. I usualty watk awayfrom situations like that, because peopLe tend topre-judge me. With the catendar they figure l'd bewitting to do certain things, but whatever I earn, I

want to earn it the right way. I know it takes a lotof hard work and determination to make it in theindustry and l'm determjned. I aLways pray aboutthose situations. l'd never lower my standards.

What kind of guy are you looking for?A guy who's honest and supportive. A tot of guyscan't handte the fact that I've gotta communicatewjth other guys in the industry I don't want hjrnto feet any tess of a man. I don't see the money,l'd rather have someone who tikes me for me. I't[support them 100%; I just need someone to be mybackbone wjthout any jeatousy.

l I odel and actor Jasun Wiggins has appearedffiin many calendars and fiihion shows. Most, Y lrecently, you can catch him on the coverof the annual Rundu Men calendar.

How did you get started modeling?lwent to schoot at NorfoLk State University, andthat's where I started modeting. After that, I spentfive years in New York doing more fashion stuff andthen I moved to Attanta. I was with my ex-girl at anexpo and watked past [Attanta-based photographerand calendar publjsherl Rundu's tabte, and shewanted to work together. This is my second yearwith Rundu's calendar. Now, l'm on the cover.

Do people recognize you often?It's kind of amazing. I get more recognition fromcatendar work than any other media.

As a model, have you ever been asked to dosomething that made you uncomfortable?It took me a while to get comfortabte within themodeLing reatm because I'm a tittte shy. some ofthe modets are exotic dancers, so I think it's a tittteeasier for them to do certain things. But Rundumade it easy for me. lt's not forced, and you cansee that in the images.

Do you use the "l'm a model" pick-up line?No. Actuatly I don't tike to say that. I've noticedthat when I say that, the whoLe energy of the con-versation changes, usualty for the worse. They thinkyou feet a certain way about yoursetf. I don't like totett peopl.e that l'm a modeL, I tike my work to tatkfor me. lf people notice me, then I apprecjate it,but I don't throw it around. I've been btessed thatwomen have responded wetl to me.

Do you date female rnodels?No. Wlth modeting, I always fett tike an outside be-cause I come from a smatttown. I'm from Hampton,Virginia, the same town asAlten lverson. To go fromthere to a big city is a different experience.

What attracts you to a woman?I Like sincere women. I tike the progressiveness ofNorthern women, lthink their sawy is sexy. At thesame time, I like some of the traditions of South-ern women. l'm big on energy and vjbes. I tike toconnect in many different ways other than .just thephysicat. My ex didn't reatty underrtand what I wasdoing. she tried, but with modeting, r'f you're notin the industry yoursetf it's hard to understand. Shewas very jeatous. I was very patient and compro-mised so much. A tot of times when I went to shootin the istands, she was right there with me, and I

don't think the staff was feeting that because I wasthere to work. Wlth women, for me it's about thevibe and the connection. lf she's attractive too,that's beautifuL. Everybody wants something niceto look at now and then.

How do you stay in shape?ActuatLy, lthink I'm fat in Rundu's catendar, I havetwo rotes that l'm lauditioning for], and she caughtme when I was preparing for the rote. The guy is bigand ripped, so I was getting ready to butk up andthen chiset down. I onty had about two weeks no-tice to get ready for the shoot, which was cooL, butI wasn't jn the best shape. She put me on the cover,though, so I guess it was good enough. Right nowl'm eating a Lot and tifting hea\y. When it's time forme to get lean, l'tLstart running in the morning anddrinking two or three gatLons of water a day.

Yeah, remember how the phone rang duringthe inteMew and the picture that went withthe ringtone was a girt's tits? The girl who wascaLtjng me read the interview and she thoughtit was funny you mentioned that. She's downthere in Whoretando (ldughing). We heard BigBoi from Outkast refer to it as Whorelando.Orlando has some, uh nah, nah, I ain't evengonna say that. I just Uke Ortando, I've met,you know, some pretty coot fotks down there.

Met any interesting girls this past year sinceour last interview?I met a chick on the set of "Pussy Poppin'."

Were you disappointed that "Tip Drill" camealong and stole the spotlight from "Pussy Pop.pln"' on BET'5 Uncut?Ah, yes, I was very hurt. Disturbjng Tha Peace,we had BET Uncut on tock first with the uncutversion of "Right Thurr," and then 'Cris cameatong with his joint. But yeah, it's safe to saythat Netty shut it down.

Are there plans to try to take back the BETUncut crown?Hey, man, that's aLt up to 'Cris. But you knowwhat reatly made it hurt was that [Netty] cameto Attanta to film the video. Like, atl those girlsin the "Tip Dritt" video are Atlanta girts. Thatnjgga came to our city and took our hoes.

There was a lot of controversy between Nellyand the Spellman College girls, Did you seeany Spellman girls in the "Tip Drltl" video?That woutd be a safe assumption. Spettmanatumni definitety make their presence felt atatt the poputar strip cLubs here in Atlanta, butthat's a whote 'nother discussion in itsetf. But

OZONE MGAZINE NOVEMBER 2OIY

we won't just singLe Spett-man out, we'tl inctude CtarkAtlanta as wett.

5o, you're Ludacris' DJ.We'Ye heard the storiesabout the girls who hadto suck the manager's dickto meet the artist, etc.,is that the way lt workin the DTP camp? Do theyhook up with you to get toLuda, sleep their way up to the top?Nah, in our camp it doesn't reatty work tikethat. GeneratLy if I putt a bitch, l'm fuckin' herthat night. Nobody etse is fuckin' her.

Ir it fair to say that you're the whore of DTP?No, definitety not. lt's just that I'm the onLy onewiLtjng to tatk. We'tt just teave it at that,

Have you traveled to any interesting placesthis year?We went to Japan, Brazil, Germany, and Londona coupte more times. The women in Japan arereaLly cute, but there's one specific area that'sa probtem, They're very lacking in the ass de.partment, and that's a definite requirement.

So you didn't tap any, uh, Japanese ass?No, but I got some Japanese head. lt's prettygood, actuaLly. Japanese women, they're defi-nitely very skjtLed.

Did you haye to pay for it?Paying for sex is generatly frowned upon. Howdoes the saying go? Why pay for the cow whenyou can get the mitk for free? I only paid for sexonce. One time in Minneapotis, I gave a chick5100 to join in and eat some pussy.

Why'd you pay her, was she hesitant to do lt?I r{ouldn't say that she was hesistant, but I

kinda caught her at the tail end and she wastired from atl the other shit. Here's the situ-ation; this was after a show. l'm with a chickin my room, and this other girt was in anotherroom on our floor. lt was a whole tot of thingsgoing on jn that room that I didn't participatein, because I atready had my own shit going onin my room. I put the girL to steep in my room,and I happened to get the page from the headhoncho saying, "Come to my room." So lwentto his room and there was tike four girts in theroom with other members of DTP. There was atot of sturping going on. (laughing, This one girtthat I was trying to get wjth, she was done. Herjaws were tired, she ain't wanna do nothing orwhatever. 50 I was Like, "Come to my room, l'vegot something to show you." So I brought herback to see this other girt that I was with. Now,the girl was asLeep, but she was Lookin' at herand I guess she got turned on or whatever. Shewas like, "l don't know, l'm kinda tired." lwastike, "l'tt give you 5100 if you crank it up onemore time," and she agreed. She saw the ass onthe girl and she was tike, yep, I'm going down.Sure enough, it did go down.

What are the rules of group sex?The unwritten rute is that you definitety don'tpay attention to whatever else is going on, Youjust supposed to do you and keep it moving,bam. We don't condone, uh, wood-watching.(loughing) But, lgroup sex] doesn't reatty hap-pen att that often.

ls it like the "Holidae lnn" video?A tot of hopping from room to room? Yeah, thatwoutd be kinda accurate. Granted, it's not like

this atl the time. There aresome nights that are defi-nitety a Ptaystation night. Thisdoesn't go down every night,oh, no. Even when a bunch ofgirts come to the hotel togeth-er, that doesn't guarantee assfor the crew. Out of five girts,there's probably onty one thatwants to fuck and she's atwaysthe one that's not driving.When we go to cities where

rappers come atL the time, tike Miamj or D,C.,they're not reatty fazed. Occasionatly, though,we'tl have a show in a smaLl town tike Littte Rockor Myrtte Beach. I'm not gonna Look down on themand refer to them as "starstruck" or anything, butbasicatLy those are the cities where the freakiershit tends to pop off,

After being on the road for a while, does it calmdown?Oh, yeah, that shit has definitety catmed down.I think I speak for any new artist when I say thatwhen you first start hitting the road, it's atwayslike, "Ooh, how many bitches can I get with," butafter a while it gets otd, man. lt reatty gets otd.There's some nymphos out there, but yeah, niggashave definitety slowed down. For one, the whoLeidea of the constant chase after the show, thatshit gets old. Then you've got other factors likethe whole Kobe l8ryant] shit, so that's honesttywhy ljust tike to fuck with peopLe that lalreadyfucked with before. That wat you atready knowit's not an issue, Not to say that I don't meet anynew peopte, but most of the time if I touch downin a city where I had a pretty good time before,chances are I'm gonna catt that girt again.

What about protection?Oh, c'mon. That's a no-brainer. Atways have theMagnums on-deck, always. Not an issue.

ls there anything you'd do in bed with your girlthat you wouldn't do with a grouple?Ihat's funny that you ask, because the girts I endup dating are usuatty the ones that act real prudishand won't do certain things. Like, the chick on theroad witt probabty swallow, but your majn gjrt isprobabty like "Hett no!"

Why is swallowing such a big deal, anyway?Aw, come on! The feetingl That shit just, aw' thewhote feeting of busting off in somebody's mouth.I can't even begin to articutate the sensation.

What about eatlng ass, like the R Kelly tape?Aw! Nope. And you know what? I haven't even seenthe R Ketty tape, to this day,

Are there any DTP sex tapes out there?I highty doubt that one! We're so paranoid aboutcameras, oh no!

What determines lfa girlis a groupie or someoneyou'd want to date?To me it's att about the way the girl carries them-seLves. EasicalLy, the girt dictates how they gettreated. lf they carry themsetves in a respectfulmanner then they'lt get treated that way, but ifthe come up to me on some shit like, "Where theafterparty at?" and their titties are hanging out,I'm gonna ask 'em to come back to the room.

What's your hlt and miss ratio?I've generatly been successful damn near every-where I go, except Baltimore and Phitty. I don'tknow what it is about the girts in those cities, but I

haven't been abte to crack em yet. Battimore andPhitty, quit ptayin'so damn hard.

"l was very hud when'Tip Drill'stole the spot

light from 'PussyPoppin'. VWat reallymade it hurt was that

lNellyl came to our cityand took our hoes."

lf a girl turns you down, how long would youkeep trying?Some girls you know right off the bat you're justgonna be cool with'em, so you aren't reatLytryin' to make some shit pop off. But generalty,I'tl give a gjrt a grace perjod (ioughirg). lf some-thing don't pop off the first time but the girlis coot, I might stitt stay in touch with her andmaintain some type of contact so that next timeI roltthrough, some shit coutd happen.

Ever had 2way sex?I have. I try not to, but you know, every nowand then. lf it's somebody that you hit it offwith and the sex was good, and she sends me amessage tike, -Hey. I enjoyed your baLts in mymouth," ljust might reply (laughin .

What's the most interesting text messageyou've received?Hotd on, let me took through my 2way rightnow There's this girt in London that sent mea message the other day. NeedLess to say, l'mLooking forward to going back to London. Let'sjust say that she's a great head doctor and sheenjoys what she does.

What about on the flip side, have you had anygroupies go crazy on you?No, I can't say that I have any psycho bitchstories. I did have one experience where a girltried to steat a tittte Tiffany doq-tag necklace.They're only tike, 5135. lt was some other shit I

had on in addition to the big DTP chain, l'tL rockthe tittte dog-tag or whatever. This gjrt cameto my hoteL room in Chicago. lt surprised me,because I had been fuckin'with her before. Thiswasn't a random chick, this was somebody I had

atready beenwith a coupLetimes. I justwasn't expect-ing her to be aktepto.

Why'd she gofor the dog-taginstead of theDTP chain?I keep the bigchain on inbed, just to besuper, supersafe. Yeah, theDTP pendanthas been

known to stap a bitch in the face a few times.

Have you had any situations where a groupieexpected it to develop into a relationship?occasionatty, yeah, you'Lt come across a girlwho after she's given you the pussy andfantastic head - att of a sudden she'lt be tike."Damn, I know you probabty got ten other hoesin other cities that do the same shit." She mightbe right, but what the fuck is she worried aboutit for? Like, if l'm not deaLing with you in a dis-respectful manner, what's the probtem?

Do you ever feel guilty?About what? Nothing to feel guitty about. You'donty feet guitty if you're leading somebody on.lf they get the phone catL at three, four in themorning, they know what's up. They make thedecision themselves if they want to show up atthe hotel.

Do most of these girls have boyfriends?Generatty that's something that's not discussed,but if you're friends with them too eventualtythat topic does come up. Some of these girtsdo have boyfriends, some of them even havehusbands.

so what's the appeal? Why do they keepsleeping with you?Mth some, I would guess it's the fame factor.They're hanging out with us and they're gettingto see [the music business] from the other as-pect. lt's kind of interesting. l've been in situa-tions where women are tike, "Damn, them girlsare acting reat thirsty tryin'to get up in VlP,"and it freaks them out because they've neverseen some shit tike that before. Some of 'em,it'lt make them wise up. One girt, after hangingout wjth me, she was tike, "Damn, now I seehow I used to took."

If you settle down with somebody in thefuture, do you think you'd feel comfortabletelling them about your past?I got a couple things I need to get out of mysystem first, but l'd tike to settLe down withsomebody eventuatty. I don't wanna be knownas that otd nigga in the ctub. I'm fortunate thatI don't look my age. I'm in my early thirties butI stit( get carded everywhere I go. But, if I findsomebody that I tike that much, l'tL share lmypast]. That's how you know you've stumbledacross somebody that's right for you, if you cantaLk and have an adutt discussion without get-ting mad. I haven't found that one yet.

Are there any celebrities on Jaycee's hit list?Mya, but honestLy, I was told that I shoutdn't wanther on my tist. This very famous Atlanta-basedmusic producer was tike, "Nah, you don't wannafuck with thatl" lguess the imptication was thatshe was a nutcase. I woutd hope it wasn't from ahygienic standpoint. Atso, the chick from Desper'ate Housewives, Eva. l've gotta get her. JC fromN'sync is atready tappin'that, so apparentty shehas a thing for Jaycees.

Any more stories you want to tell before we go?You've qotta put this in the magazine, and it'snot even invotving sex. We did a show in Atlanta,and the next stop was Memphis. A friend of minewanted to come to Memphis, so I rode with her inher car. After I did soundcheck and everythinq wewere on the tour bus, chiLtin'. We were just havinga casuat conversation, me, her, and lity Boy fromDTP 5o she gets up tike, "Where's y'alt bathroomat?" We pointed her in the right direction. Now, weknow y'alt take a tong time in the bathroom, so wewasn't reatly trippin', but she was taking a reatty,reolly long time to come back outside. When shefinalty opened the door it was the worst fuckin'smelt, ever. I was tike, oh God, this bitch took ashit on our tour bus. Not onty that, but she triedto lie about it. We have signs posted atLaround thebus that you can't shit in the bathroom. She waslike, "Jason, I see the signs, I woutdn't do that toyou." So, I'm tryin'to beLieve her. Shawnna atwayshas to use the bathroom to change before a show,so Shawnna came in the bathroom and was tike,"Oh, hett naw!" cause of the smetl. She was tike,"Jaycee, your bitch jost came in and took a shiton the tour busl" I'm tryin'to defend my friend.Shawnna was Like, "l hope you ain't fuckin' her,cause she smettin' real raunchy!" The girt was stittmaintaining the Lie, saying she ain't shit on thetour bus. The one way to find out for sure was theask the bus driver, cause that nigga gotta changethe tank every day. Anyway, I was the butt ofjokesfor the tast three weeks of the tour because of thisshit. She fett so uncomfortabte she didn't evenbother comin' to the ctub. To this da, I haven'tspoken to her. lt was confirmed the next day whenwe went to New Orteans. The bus driver was tike,"ln my 27 years of driving this bus, I ain't neverseen nobody take a shit tike that before." (lough-ing) The sad part of this whote situation was thatshe was absotutely gorgeous! Probabty one of thebest looking girts l've ever puLted. I just thoughtshe would've known better than to do some shittike that.

too Enquirer-ish, even for us at ozoNE. lt may piss off a few people, but fuck it, that's never stopped us before.I Jnce rnls ls tne "sex issu€"' we decided to 8et inslde the mind (and body?) of a groupie, commonly defined as someone who has sex withI lamous people because of their status. Everyone has wondered at one point in their lives what it w;uld be like to sleep wittr a ceieUrity, iohere we've got some (presumably) real-life experiences to satisfy your curiosity.

Here's.how it worked: ozoNE put out the word on the street that anyone who had fucked a famous person could catt from a btocked number and con-fess att the juicy detaiLs. According to our catlers, Mr. cheeks and Tyiese got rave reviews, white Jadakiss and Atten'tveison were tess than satisfyjng.However, since the interviews were comptetely anonymous, we have no way of verifying i; they are i;;" "i "oi.

ALLEN IVERSONiWhat's your story?I had a one-night stand with At-Len lverson. He was recording hisatbum and I happened to be at thestudio. One of my homegirts wasinto one of his homeboys, Therewas four bitches there and he wasLike, "l wanna fuck somebody forthe night."

Why you?lverson told me he picked me'cause I was the onty one "not upunder his ass."

How was it?He has the titttest, ashiest dick I've

grungy so it was mostLy the conver-sation. We chjtted for a few days,then he went out of town. Next timehe came [to my town] he was Like,"Come to my hotet." Nothing hap-pened the first night, but after that I

ran into him again and [we had sexl.

After six months, did you developan emotional attachment to him orwas it mostly sex?To be honest, I did have an emotionaLattachment to him, because I stoppedseeing everybody eLse at the time.

Did you worry about him havingother women, being a celebrlty?Yeah, it bothered me, but I didn't re"

'jYe_ah, I would recommend Benzino. He's freakv ashell. Fle'll lick anv hole that vou ask him to- lf a'nv-

body reads this, he's gonn6 get a lot of pussy. t"

watch TV in bed." 50 t'm thinkinq,Okay, I guess this is how it's gonnago down. We go over to the bedand he starts touching me. I wastike, "No, I don't know if I wannado this," but it kinda just ted to t'tand we were going to lhave sex]and he just busted. That was it.No orat sex or anything, it was justkinda grindin'. Sizewise, he wasdecent. Nothing to brag about, ltdoesn't even reatty count as sex,because he busted so fast he didn,teven realty stick it in. Everythingwas coot, though, we just went tosleep and I left the next morning.We've never tatked aeain.

Were you disappointed?It wasn't that I was disappointed, I

was just shocked because I thoughthe would tast tonqer. Ptus, l didn trealLy wanna do it in the firstpLace. I was more disappointed

"Jay-Z gave me three thousand dollars cash onceand totd me to buy somethine nice for the next

time lgavehim some {ood head."

with myself for even getting tothat point.

So would you be offended ifsomeone called you a groupie?I don't give it up that easy, it wasjust in that circumstance. youknow, if a woman wants it, what,swrong with that? I don,t considerany gi.l to be a groupie, ,cause ev-erybody does their own thing. Wedon't consider guys to be groupies,so I don't think women shoutd beconsidered groupies either.

Do you think the minutemanthing was just a fluke?It might have been a fluke. I hopeit was just a fluke. I just don'tknow how it happened that fast.He's gotta be able to tast withsomebody,

So what's your reaction when youhear hls lyrics talking about sex.or how good he is in bed?

I just kinda start taughing, tike,"Oh, okay..."

Are there any celebrities you'dwant to sleep with?Ludacris, I think the sex woutdbe fun; just 'cause of the way hecarries himsetf. He taLks so muchabout sex. But, sometimes theones that tatk about it aren't aboutanything.

JAY-z..When did you meet Jay.Z?Ihis was back when ReasonabLeDoubt came out. We met at a ctub,One of his friends was fuckin' oneof my friends, and he was tike,"What up. My name is Jay-z."

Was he already famous? Were youattracted to him as a person, ormore for the fame?I definitely didn't find him attrac-

ever seen. lt's tike, nonexistent.He tool(s tike he shoutd have apussy. And it's dry. I woutd give himfour inches at best, and skinny.

So what happened?We wound up back at his hotet.It wasn't even worth taking myclothes off for. I ended up teav-ing before it was over. He didn,tcum, and neither did l, so that'swhy I teft.

Editor's note: We received dconflicting occount from anothercoller who sdid AILen lvetson wos"gteot" in bed, but decided shedidn't want her story printed.

BENZINO:Were you in a retationship withBenzino, or just sex?It was a retationship, but mostlysexuaL. lt Lasted at least sixmonths.

How did you meet?We kinda just bumped into eachother at a cLub. He approached meand we just had a reguLar conver-sation. I was attracted to him as aperson, but he was looking.eatty

OZONE IIAGAZINE NOVE14BER 2M4

atty ask. I knew whatever came out ofhis mouth was gonna be a tie regard-tess, so why bother? I just kinda knew,'cause he was sLick.

What was the sex like?He's freaky as hett, I'tt tett you thatmuch, He'tt tick any hote that you askhim to. His dick is a decent size. Hecoutd fuck, l'tt put it that way. He'ttdo it any way you want.

5o you would recommend him?Yeah, lwoutd recommend him. lfanybody reads this, he's gonna get atot of pussy.

JADAKISS:How was Jadakiss in bed?He'5 a minuteman, for sure.

How did you meet him?I was at a show where he performed.He approached me tike, "Yo, comehere, come chitt with me." I waitedwith him untit everyone teft and wewent back to the hotet. We're chiLt-ing, everything is cooL, and theneYerybody etse leaves the room. Ijust kinda sat there, tike, "Okay, nowwe're atone..." and we were watchingTV. He was like, "Come here, [et's

tive, but he was borderline famousso I figured l'd have a story to tett.He totd me I tooked tike I had a"fuckabte mouth," which I thoughtwas probabty the most disrespect-fut shit l'd ever heard.

How long did you mess with him?Like three months.

Were you wo.ried about himsleeping wlth other girls?He had a ton of other bitches. Totetl you the truth. with his boringdick, lwas gLad he was giving itto them.

Boring?Boring. The biggest dick you wittever see in your tife, but boring.Huge. Like a one-titer Pepsi bottte.What do you catt those things? Thezo-ounce bottte, lt's beyond huge.It coutd btock the sun,

Too big to suck?

20

No, not at atl. That's why he fuckedwith me- And he screams like abitch when he busts. lt's horribte.He has a big humungous dick andhas no idea what to do with it.

You didn't try to teach him?It woutdn't have worked to teachhim anything. He's just boring.Ptus, I realty didn't care. I wasmostty just around for the cash.He might not be boring in bed toeveryone, but me, ljust didn't dighim. He atways wanted head first,then backshots. Then he'd atwaystry to stick it in the asshote. I don'tknow what the fuck he thought hewas doing with that big-ass dick.

Did you ever let him?I wouldn't be tatking to you rightnow if I had. My insides wouLd bein a bag.

What kinds of things did he buyyou?Two fur coats. Diamond earrings. I

got mostly cash, though. Cash altthe time.

What'r the most cash he eYergave you at one time?Three thousand. He toLd me to buysomething nice for the next time I

gave him some good head. I wasUke, "Whatever." I used it to paymy bitts.

Did you feel like a prostitute?The money came way before thehead came. Sometimes he'd giveme money and I hadn't even doneanything.

Was it like a booty-call thing?He'd call you at a certain timeof night?He would have his homeboy caL[me and come pick me up and bringme over to wherever he was. Thestudio, the ctub, wherever the fuckhe was at,

Did you ever go to his house?Yeah. He'd watch a movie, l'd cteanhis house, we'd take a shower,fuck, and he'd go to steep. I woutdtake a cab, l'd atways leave.

Why didn't you spend the night?

no. That's too much buttshit. ButIthink most rappers basicatty tryto fuck bitches who are smart andtry to keep them around so theycan tearn shit. I did it discreetty,though, so most peopte don'tknow.

lf he had a lot of other women,weren't you worried about catch-ing something?Protection. Always.

Anybody else on your hit list?Petey Pabto. I don't know why,there's just something about him.I seen him on 106th and Park andhe must have had a hard-on. Ptus,he's a country muthafucker, andI wanna get out of New York onetime, That's it, but l'm not comingout of retirement. I'm retired nowthat I'm married.

So what's your background like,sexually? I mean, some peoplemlght look at someone whosleepr around or sleeps withfamous people and assume thatthey were raped, or abused, asa chitd.ActuatLy, I kinda find dick that I

like and stick with it for tong, tongperiods of time. I was thirteen thefirst time lhad sex, and he's myhusband now. We just got mar-ried a year ago. He stuck with methrough att that shit. I mean, weweren't dating. We were juniorhigh sweethearts, we were togeth-er for years. But I reaLized I didn'twant the same dick all the time sowe headed different directions. Hehad two kids with somebody etseand we came back together as afamity.

Does it make him insecure toknow that you've slept withJay-Z?lf it does bother him, he don't tetme muthafuckin' know. I mean, ifhe sees Jay-Z on TV or something,he'tt just catthim an ugty nigga. lt'sthat mate ego buttshit.

METHOD IMN:How did you meet Method Man?He hottered at me white he wasfitming a video. He picked me up

Why did it end?It just did, I mean, he's married.We're stitt cordiat, though, when-ever we see each other.

Since he's famous, were youworried about him fucking otherSirls?I didn't care, lt was just a sexthing.

Were you more attracted to himas a Person, or because he's fa-mous?I was attracted to him as a person.I ain't into no fame shit, it justhappens.

Would you be offended if some-one called you a groupie?Yes, 'cause l'm not a groupie. HeLt,I'm famous too (loughing).

lf you hear him using lyrics like"fucking bitches," does that of-fend you?No, I like for a nigga to catt me abitch every now and then. Thatshows me he toves me (laughing).

MR. CHEEKS:How did you meet r'lr. Cheeks? Didyou aPproach him?

that he has women throwing them-selves at him?I know l'm not the onty one. Whatdoes it matter?

How big is his dick?Not that big. I wouLd say average.

How does he compensate for that?Oh, my. Atright, let me see if I coutdput this into the EngLish Language.There is some strange, weird positjonthat he gets you into. He's the ontyperson that has ever made me squirt.Like, when it shoots out and you thinkit's piss. He's the onty man on the faceof the ptanet that has done that tome. I think every woman in the wortdshouLd have him at teast once, l'm se-rious. I think he shouLd be rented out.They witt never, ever find sex tike thatagain. I'm tetting you, every fuckingbitch on the ptanet shoutd fuck thisnigga one time. He's fun. That's atL I

can say about him, and I reatty wasn'tattracted to his face but now I am. I

was more attracted to hi5 styte.

Describe the position.It's kinda like missionary I don't knowhow to exptain it. Att I know is that ithits this particutar spot that no otherman on the face of the planet has ever

"Tvreset mouth should be for rent. His mouth anddick are both smd. He's workine with somethinq

major. It wib, like, R&B sex. ll{ore sensual. " -

I didn't wanna wake up next tohim. He's ugty,

So what was in it for you? Brag-ging rights?Yeah, l'm in the music business,so that's pretty much the reason I

fucked Jay. Just to say that I did.

Was there eYer a situation whereyou had to deal with him on abusiners tip?Mixing business with pteasure,

What's the differences sexuallybetween Spanish, btack, and whitewomen?Spanish women are very passionate andvery jeatous, which is atl good. Theylove you to death, and they onty wantyou to be with them. BLack womenare jeatous too, but they're great sexpartners. They're more grounded tothe streets, that's been my experience.White women take orders with no prob-tem5, so you can get away with a tot ofthings. But white women are quick to dotheir thing too, they're sneaky. I tove attwomen, though.

Do you have a lot of Ia-dies come at you?Girts come at me crazy.I'm the onty Puerto Ricanon the Roc so that makesme a Littte more popu-tar.

,{elyssa Ford?She's gorgeous. I wouLd do her in a hot second.

What attracts you to a woman?It used to be a physical thing because I like ass, but now it'satl about a confident demeanor, a swagger, and a sexy-assattitude. That does it for me.

When you're at the strip club, how can you pick out the guys withmoney?I can tetl if a nigga is broke by his conversatjon, not by what he's wearingor how he tooks. The brokest-looking nigga can be the one with the mostmoney, and the one that looks tike he has money can be broke. A niggawjth money isn't aLways flashy. I can usuatty tett from the conversation.

What's an average day for Pinkey like?I get up earty, I have a fetish for getting my hair and naits done, so I dothat at least once a week. I Like to took good. I onty work on the week-ends, and during the week I spend time with my chitdren.

Are you in a relationship?No, I just got out of one.

Do you have any plans to settle down?lam ready to settte down. I'm just waiting to find that right person,

Do you think you'll settle down with someone from l iami or do youthink he'll com€ from somewhere else?I can't reatty say where he'Lt come from. There's not many good guysteft in Miami. Ptus, it's hard because of my background. A Lot of quys areintimidated by me.

Do you have any regret5? lf you could turn back the hands of time,would you still want to be a dancer?I wish that I wouldn't have become a dancer, but that's how it turnedout. Now ljust have to be about my money. l'm making the best of thesituation.

What is Pinkey's ideal man like?I want a man to tove me and treat me like a queen. I'm the type of personthat loves hard, and I want someone who witl love me back just as hard,Someone who won't give up on me, cause l'm not a quitter and it takesa tot for me to give up on somebody.

ferences between this atbum and previous LitJon & ESB atbums, however, such as the high-powered guest appearances. AtsoJ Jon actuauyrhymes instead of just yeLting, and the jointsare more musicaL. LiL Jon shows his productionrange throughout the atbum lvjth cuts tike "Lov-ers & Friends," featuring Usher and Ludacris. Beprepared to hate this song in about two months,because that song is going to be a radio smash!Other gems are the Rick Rubin-produced ,,Stop

Fuckin' With Me." That's a good t-hate-my-whack"ass'job song. Atso, Lit Jon capitatizes onthejokes DaveChappetle and Chris Rocks thrownat him by turning them into songs tike "SkeetSkeet Skeet," with DJ Ftexx. This is a straight-up go-go song, so D.C. and Virginia shoutd getready for that one. Now, is it just me, or is Li[Jon becoming the officiaL career resurrector forlegendary West Coast rappers? He djd it a fewyears ago With Too Short, and it seems as if lceCube is next in tine. lce Cube sounds like thenigga with an attitude again. Just tisten to ,,RoLt

Catt" and possibty the best song on the atbum,"Grand Finate," which features T.t., Jadakiss,Bun B, Nas, and a key verse from lce Cube whomurdered the original "Grand Finate" from TheD.O.C.'S debut LP. There is so much more thatcould be said about this album because all basesare covered: rock, go-go, screwedJ West Coast.No stone is left untouched.

FUTURE SHOCKOne of the most officiatsubmissions we receivedin the mait this monthcame from Future ShockRecords in Mississippi.This is a nice twenty-song, double-disc setwith a very appeatingtook. I popped it intothe Atpine and listenedto the first few tracks,

nothing reatty special except for ,,Jump," Thesong js about jumping ass cheek, and if theyshot a video it woutd probabty have more assthan "Tip Dritt" and "Pussy Pop" combined.212's flow combined with N-Sane's vintaqeMystikaL impersonation come together to giveus a pretty memorabte track. On the next trackwe hear atL the artists (N-Sane, 212, G-Mz,Gotditoxx, and Q) come off very well over asimpte drum pattern laced with horn and vo-caL samptes. The more I get into the disc, themore I get into their Muzik! With exception ofthe first few tracks on the first disc, it's prettysotid. The "Mind Over Matter" skit brings us to"l Don't Mind," where 212 and N-Sane btast an

That's why prodigyis featured atongside Nina Sky and BK,s ttta Gheeon the Lead singte "Hold You Down." The D-8tockcamp atso makes a few notable cameos through-out the atbum. On "The Essence," sheek, stytesand Kiss att btaze the mic up. tn true Ruff Ryderfashion, Alchemist caters to the trio wjth a trackthat could easity be mjstaken for teftover mate-rial from The Lox's sophomore atbum. J-Hood andSheek combine forces with H-A-V and Rapper Noydto give us "D-Btock to the QB," where att four dropcomparabLe vocals. The most unorthodox song onthe atbum comes from the combination of veter-ans M.O.P. and ATL newcomer Stat euo. Each addtheir distinct flavor, but gLimpses of greatness aresoon dashed by the tacktuster M.O,P appearance."Strength of Pain" is the only R&Bish track onthe atbum, with Chingy laying some soutful linesaLongside Prodigy's gutta ad-tibs.

Unfortunatety, therest of the atbum doesn't live up to the intro. peteRock produces two joints, going one for two withthe nice summer joint "Atl I Know" and the banger"Keep it Movin"'which is hampered by Cheeks'uninspiring hook. For that ride to the corner store,Cheek provides us with two nice crujsing track:"Att Nite Long" and "Tu.n it Up.', Cheeks bringssome new fam to the table with "Btindfotd,"

featuring the Garcia Brothers, Stum, and BumpJohnson. Struck of the Garcia Brothers endsup steating the show. On the Lead singte, "lt'sAtright," Truth Hurts shows up on the hook andsings backup white Cheeks'bouncy flow mar-ries the beat perfectty. Cheeks has never beenknown as a hard-core tyricist, but his voicehas the abitity to grab your attention and hedemonstrates this here, The atbum ends withthe undesirable remix of "What's Happenin"'as weLl as the itt-fated heartfett attempt "LBFamiLy," which wittfail to grab the attention ofmost Ladies and Ghettomen.

Heatways keeps us guess-ing. Promising to pick upwhere Carnival left off,Creole 101 acts more as a

reciprocaL atbum. Carnival was predominanttyEngtish with a touch of Ctef's native tongue,but Creole 101 - as you might guess from thename - proves to be the total opposite, ln thespoken word intro, Jean's contempt for theBritish and French attempts to invade Haiti istremendous, but stitt isn't as strong as the pridefor his Haitian peopLe. Most of the tyrics are inCreote, which I don't understand, so LyricaLty I

have no legs to rate this atbum. Ctef manages tointroduce his culture to us through the rhythmof the drums and the precision of the guitar.CLef drops an Engtish verse on "Haitian Mafia,"where Foxy Brown lends a hand with a bitinguatverse. By the time this issue hits the shetves,the potiticatly charged "President" wilt be farout of people's minds. Regardtess of who winsthe etection, I don't beueve their four years wit[come cLose to futfitting Wyclef's vision whichinctudes finding the cure for cancer, taking AirForce One to give the hometess in the hoodAir Force Ones, or seeing Mustims, Jews, andChristians hotd hands on the beach at a partytogether. The remix is a bit more hip-hop buthas the same message, with help from Nevadaand Trini Don over a synthed-out beat. About ayear ago a track surfaced catted "Life in NY,"which featured newcomers ShetLs, Posta Boy,Cassidy, and Trini Don. I was hoping it woutd beon Preacher's Son, but instead 'Ctef gave it tous on Creote 101. This version features Buggah,and it's in Creote.

Being a kid who tived just over theVerazano Bridge who's sister did promotions forWu-Tang might have made the swarm a litttebit more fierce personatly, but tistening to thereteases is confirmation that the feeting I fettmust have been fett by hundreds of thousandsof hip-hop fanatics, The first retease, Legend,is nothing but sixteen tracks of pure heat. ltinctudes Method lan's solo banger, lnspectahDeck's verse on "Triumph," and the Shaolinrendition of Run-DMC's ctassic "Sucker MCs." I

was a littte disappointed to see the exctusionof "Winter Warz " and the incLusion of "ShaotinWortdwide" and "Diesel." The tatter CD, fromSanctuary Records, is a LIVE release which goesa bit further, giving us the real grime from"Teaft" to "lncarcerated Scarfaces." Live re-Leases are more for the diehard fan than anyoneelse, but it sounds like anyone who was on handfor this Juty 17th show got a chance to see theoriginat Wu shine tike they haven't shone inyears. - ADG, adg@tmail.com

JADE FOXX(HOSTED BY DJ SHOW-TIME)LET A WOMAN HANDLETHIS!With wett over '150 mix-tape appearances, JadeFoxx now gives us herown mixtape. Whether

singing a hook ("Progress") or spjtting someheat ("52 Bars"), this is a good representationof Jade and it shows why this setf-proctaimedmixtape queen is making so much noise. The ac-tuat format of the CD isn't anything speciat, it'sjust a basic promotionaL toot fitted with songs,remixes, freestytes, drops, and declarations, ltdoes contain a nice consistency of materiat,however, with Jade rattying atongside stars tikeNas, 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, and Ltoyd Banks. To addsome vatidity to those mixtape appearances,Jade inctudes some sampLe material fromFunkmaster Ftex, Jesse Jazz, and Ezdusit. Jadesounds right at home atongside Banks on theAtchemist track for "Bangers." Unfortunatety,Jade's verse on "Turn up the Mic" paLes atong-side the introspective Nas and the gritty Freddy

Foxxx. There's ptenty of beat'jacking here, butshe does inctude original production from CeeHuSSler ("One Day"), DJ lvtesto ("ltalian Rid-dim"), Drastix X ("DJ ShoMime freestyle"), FrankDiggs ("Latin Swing"), and internationaI producerMagiera ("Tru Luv"). Frank Diggs'"Latin swing" isa nicely-produced track, but Jade's vocat soundforced. "52 Bars," however, shouLd be renamed"HEAT!" Over Xzibit's "Pavarotti" beat, Jade spitsthe ugly truth: "Sometimes I wonder why the fuckI make music / 'Cause it's tike l'm fighting for acause fake and usetess / Peopte don't show youlove untess your shit is ctich6 / l'm tired of havingto show my skitl to shady DJs / 'Cause they don'trespect you, even if you hot they don't accept you/ Tit you got a deat, then alt of a sudden they wantto rep you." - ADG, adg@tmail.com

BUMPJ&THEGOONSqUADWELCOME TO GRIIIMWILLEPART 2Mth the current success ofKanye West and Twista com-ing out of Chjcago, it wasn'tlong before another MndyCity native woutd step into

the spottight. Thefirst trackon the atbum/mixtapeis the attention-getting "Overnight Cetebrity" re-mix. Camron, 50 Cent, and Twista verses are altused to give the ittusion of a cotlaboration, but it'sjust a cut-and-paste job with Bump adding a fitterverse. On "Drama," both Bump J and the secretweapon sty Polaroid do a pretty damn good job ofhotding down the Goon squad, but Bump takes thecrown with bars [ike, "Niggas think I fett off, no no/ If ever Bump fatts he's gon'come back like a yo-yo / My flow's toco, your shit is so-so / Yo bro, mymoney tong tike Rebecca Lobo." Next, "G-Thang2004" is a Snoop track where Bump J shows somereal tyrjcism with vivid simites, The true gem ofthis atbum is the remake of Jay-Z's "What MoreCan lSay," with its jmaginative metaphors. Bumptouches on the subject of studio gangstas, spit-ting, "These rappers teave home, go to the studioand turn into Nino / Tatking the streets like it'spart of their lingo / Fine, they'tl find you in thewater like Nemo." The DVD s reptay vatue is mini.mat, but a good education on the Goon Squad andBump J. - ADG, ADG@tmall.com

SEAN JAYHIP HOP 4 DUIIAA,IY'S

THEME MUZIKSean Jay, formerty known aslnfinite Prince, disptays con-fidence on tracks like "Ha-waii Hop," where SJ cteartyhas no probtems being inhis own skin. Some of the

jacked instrumentals from nationat and regionalhits are reatly vitatto the effort, tike "Lean Back,""On Fire," "Hood Hop," "Ridin' Big Yo," "TheChamp is Here," "Jesus watks," and "Locked Up."sean Jay is on fire with tines tike "see what yougot, bring on your best demo / Get a burn mark aslong as a stretch limo / sean hard enough to makeyour man retire / DenzeL been hel[, l'm a man onfire." Fult lmpact's DJ Skream is the host, with ap-pearances by Raw Dizzy, Rev Run, Pitbutt, and afew other soLid up'and-comers. Sean Jay is tryingto pioneer hip-hop in the 50th state and has noqualms about repping it, but I do believe he hotdssome contempt for another Hawaii native which isdocumented on tracks like "Hawaii Hop," "LeanBack," and "The Champ is Here," Sean Jay's tife isfulty documented on "ln the Spirit" and "Hustte,"covering atl the reat-Life issues an aspiring artistexperiences. This is hip-hop you can think to, notjust smoke to. - ADG, adg@tmail.com

O 4 O O ln any successful business venture, there has to be a formuta. ln the music business, the formuta is to seLl afr /l /l fr tot of records and then capitatize off your fame by any means necessary! We atL know that sex selts, so one//[///I :j':ii,T;l,i:TT:,lJi[:"n::ii'"il;:il'il5""""'J:i:i{"'?ff;j'"#L'iieffiiiliI':"*TL'":tji;. series, Doggie Styte. Treach from Naughty by Nature starred in his own sex DVD, and most recentty, Ltoyd

Banks entered the business with his video game porn, Groupie Love. Here, LiL Jon and the East Side Boyz have teamed up withVideo Team for their own sex DVD, til Jon dnd the Eost Side Eoyz' American Sex Series.

Pipes appears in a threesome with superstar actress lndia and relative newcomer Jada.

Lil Jon promises that this DVD wit( contain a Lot of pussy, a55, and titties, and he does not disappoint. The onty reason I'd say this is soft-core eroticais because in alL the mate and femate copulation scenes, there are no views of the actuat penetratjon. That's one of the main things that makes thisDVD different; it's focused more on the foreptay than the wham-bamm of a raw porno. Next, the Attanta-based group takes you o; a tour of two ofAttanta's finest strip ctubs, tike the Btue Ftame. lnside you see what an officiatAttanta "onion" is att about. However, since it's an adutt ctub and thetighting has to be kept low, there are some bad shots of the most important parts of the femate anatomy. The next ctub is the Trapeze Swinger's CLub,a ctub where you can go swap partners, partake in orgies, or simply watch. Ljt Jon takes you on a tour throughout the ctub which witt mak6 you wishyou were there.

The casting for this DVD was weLt done; lots of beautifut tadies. l'd recommend it for anyone who's tired of the same hardcore porn and tooking forsomething with more of that sensitive caressing and rote'ptaying. The behind-the"scenes footage couLd be another DVD jn itsetf; you get to see Big-Samdo his Etvis impersonation as wetl as modeLs from the sex shows in Vegas. The last element to any good sex DVD is to have some go6d music, anl thesoundtrack, Produced by Lit Jon, has alI his bangers on jt. So do your partner a favor and pick this one up. lt shoutd definitety be inlour sex cottection.- Malik Abdul, malik@ozonemag.com
