What's upper? I went & peeped out the motion picture "Deuce Bigalow:European Gigalo" over the weekend & I have to say, I got a few laughs but it can't compare to the original. I think Eddie Griffin saves the movie as his character adds much flava & laughs to the sequel. I'd wait till it drops on dvd at Blockbuster...

I gotta give props to my boy, Nickle Dee Wright outta Jive Records for sponsoring last weeks RAP ATTACK CONFERENCE CALL! Our guests included up & coming Chris Brown who's latest joint "Run It" is getting a lot of radio, club & video play love along with new Jive artist, Noah with his single "Dat Boy Chevy" which kinda has a lil "Posse On B'dway flava to it!" Both artists came off correct & we wish them all the love & success. In addition, I also want to officially welcome aboard to our RAP ATTACK DJ panel & Conference Call panel a former Bum Squad DJ, my boy DJ Commando! Commando is an O.G. in the radio biz like me & getting ready to relocate from Iowa to Chicago's WIIT-Illinois Institute Of Technology as their new Asst Music Director & Air Personality, effective September 1st! Commando will be an asset to what we do & believe in & he is a people person & will fit in perfectly with all of you on our weekly calls! He's not scared to speak out, he offers feedback on the spot, he's got natural leadership skills & he lives, eats & breathes Hip-Hop! For now until he moves, you can reach Commando at: (319) 981-7654 or online at: djcommando1@aol.com or at djcommando1@tmail.com. Welcome aboard fam!...

Rap Attack takes a "WHAT'S UPPER" look this week with:

Jason-D (RadioBoise.Org): "I've been keeping this quiet for a minute so they could work out the bugs! I have been helping to launch a community radio station here in Boise, ID that just began webcasting. I've been in it from the ground up and doing a lot of consulting for them. We have secured funding, grants, etc, have a radio station and complete studio, and are working on our FCC license. We expect to be on air in 2006. In the meantime, we are webcasting and I have a weekly show. You can check me out this Friday at 8pm Pacific on www.radioboise.org with The Wreck Show. All of my contact info remains the same. I still report to rapattacklives.com, rap network, submersive and insomniac. Thanks to Nes and everyone else who looks out for me each week. I will see all of you at CMJ in just a few weeks! I will now be officially reporting to RAPATTACKLIVES.COM as an Internet Reporting DJ: 

 RadioBoise.org  Internet Station Boise Community Radio: www.radioboise.org with "The Wreck" Friday's 8pm Pacific & Tuesday's 8pm Pacific  Here's all my current info for your mailing list & files":

Jon? Doe (KCPR-San Luis Obispo): "Damn... just got back off a week's vacation... the longest drive I've ever done from San Diego to slo-town happened on friday. shit took me 9 hours in traffic with the kids screamin in the back seat... for those that don't know, that's normally a 5 hour drive. anyhow, wish me luck y'all... right after I send this email, I'm going to get a vasectomy... I'll be chillin in bed all weekend"...

EarthQuake (Live365.com): "Shoutout to Nasty Nes and the Rap Attack fam for holding down such a great site. Congrats on the increased 730,000 plus hits of traffic to the site!"...

Edgie Kokoski (WUNH-NH): "My brain is fried after a total shake-up at my company has resulted in 10 hour days with no lunch break for me. I really enjoy eating my lunch over 1 hour and 40 minutes. That’s how long it takes when you have one bite between phone calls. Since I have the brain power of a lobotomized inbred right now…here are my random thoughts for the day…

I’m really glad to see that NASA blew another 1 million dollars on landing their space shuttle in California instead of Florida. It’s not like that money could have gone to schools, public works, or unfortunate people. That would have been a waste.

Does anyone else besides my good pal Lee L’Heureux and I think that “No Daddy” is a disturbing title for 17 year old Tiearra Mari’s single?

Why does Peter Jennings die, yet all of the FOX news anchors live?

Now that Beanie Sigel is out of jail, I wonder how long it will take him to find and pummel the people who picked all of the singles off his album following “Feel It In The Air?”.

Fuck Rafael Palmeiro. I wonder if the steroids facilitated his need for Viagra. He may be the face of cheating in baseball now, but to me, he will always be the face of erectile dysfunction.

Lloyd Banks and Young Buck arrested for having guns in their vehicle. Somehow I don’t think it took Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys to crack that case. Good police work!

Is it just me, or does XXL get more commercialized every month? I can do without the monthly Interscope covers and features only about dirty south artists. If I wanted to read about Webbie, Ying Yang Twins and David Banner, I would buy Murder Dog or some dumb shit like that.

More surliness next week"…
