MOST MEMORABLE HIP-HOP MOMENT IN 2009:

Nasty-Nes (RapAttackLives.com): "A lot of you know about my personal struggles I went through over the past few years & because of my faith in the MAN up above I've overcome those struggles. So I am thankful for that & much more which include this year:

1. June 25, 2009 is a date millions will never forget as we lost "The King of Pop" Michael Jackson. I'll never forget that day first reading about it on Twitter & then keeping my eyes glued onto CNN until it was official when TMZ confirmed, "MICHAEL JACKSON IS DEAD." The first album on vinyl I bought with my own money was back in 1970 & it was The Jackson 5 album, "ABC." R.I.P. MJ.

2.  Goin back home to Seattle in Nov 2009 & to be filmed in a documentary/film about Seattle's Hip-Hop history. The 3 day shoot reunited me on film with my original KCMU Rap Attack posse, it also reunited me with the original Sir Mix-A-Lot posse and with my Sifu Taky Kimura. Taky has been my mentor & father figure since I was 13 years old. We talked on film about his close relationship with Bruce Lee & how he  passed on to me what he learned from Bruce. Coolout Network is producing this film scheduled for release in 2010.

3.  I was on NBC's season finale episode of "ER" & I finally got my first commercial acting gig/job & it was a Fed-Ex commercial where I act with comedian/actor, Fred Willard on May 2009!

4.  Boxer Manny Pacquiao made history being the first boxer to win 7 titles in 7 different weight classes! Pinoy Pride all the way!

5.  Having KRS-One on our Rap Attack Conf Call. I was one of the 1st dj's on the west coast to break his music on the radio back in the 80's but I never got to speak to him until that call. KRS is like meeting President Obama or even a Michael Jackson. He's as real as it gets & he truly represents Hip-Hop & to me is one of the greatest emcees ever.

It's been 5 years & 8 months since I quit smoking & I feel GREAT! I can go on & on & on on how thankful I am for 2009. But I have to reach out to my extended family at RAP ATTACK & say, "THANK YOU!" You have made this year a great year for me & for Hip-Hop music. I couldn't have done this without you. You've been by my side all these years & I appreciate that. I'm a very humble guy & I don't need the limelight or media to prove to anyone anything. Those that know me well know that everything I do comes from my heart unconditionally"...

DJ Meddafore (Mixtapes-PA & FL): "Losing Michael Jackson was like losing a piece of life. I remember just staring at the television screen during the entire funeral still in shock like there's no way this is happening right now. I've listened to so many MJ tribute mixes for like the next 2 months and never got sick of it. He is still the King of Pop!"

Chill Will (WCBN-MI): "One was seeing Ghostface kill it with the classics and his new stuff. Then the Clipse, Cool Kidz, Del The Funky Homosapien and A Plus all rocked the stages. Along with Mike Relm who had a dope video set. And last but not least Brother Ali ripping the stage and yes he is one of my favorite MC's. Had some big names come to town and a few were hella late. Have a great Christmas and New Year!!!!!!"...

Double J (Foundation Media): "Going to watch my Kansas Jayhawks for the first time in Lawrence, Kansas"...

DJ Frresh (Mixtapes-Chicago): "Winning the westcoast mixtape dj of year award for 2 yrs straight at the "2009 Westcoast Hip-Hop Awards" & also one the most memorable moment in 2009 was when my mom wished me a happy birthday before she passed away one week later"...

Nate Abney (WKDU-Philly): "My most memorable moment in 2009 without a doubt was the passing of MJ. The greatest of them all, someone who I admired since I was like 5 or 6. Owning alot of his records my dream was to actually see him and live and maybe get lucky enough to record a song with him. Since that won't happen I will just enjoy what I have and let people who don't know know. In recent years I have been able to talk with people who actually had the pleasure of being in the presence of the King Of Pop. They all are in agreement about the talent he possessed. All the other stuff aside( which I never really paid attention to). I was a fan of the music. It has made me a better hip hopper also and expect good music all the time and not just whatever is the flavor of the month. So there you have it R.I.P. MJ"...

Nesto formerly of: (WODU-VA): "My most memorable moment hands down had to be when I got to travel to Tokyo, and it just so happened that the trip fell on my birthday. I always wanted to hit Tokyo up, but never thought I'd actually make it out there one day. Bright lights, big city, amazing energy and vibe I got from the city and the people. Wish I could have stayed longer. I got to dig while I was out there, and just taking in the moment of diggin for hip hop in Tokyo was an ill feeling. The picture I have attached doesn't even show me, but it shows a Coca-Cola bottle leaning on a fench at the Narita Airport in Tokyo. The label says it all, "Refreshing and Up-lifting".. that's how I felt while I was in Tokyo and how I felt a few weeks after I got back to the states from that trip. I really needed to get out of this town at the time of that trip, and being in the big city of Tokyo did my body good. Just like Alicia Keys sings in the hook of the Empire State of Mind "Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there's nothing you can't do".. that's how I felt when I was out there and when I got back.. I'm a city dweller man, and this country life is killing me"...

DJ Solo (WECI-IN): "the loss of Roc Raida and DJ AM stunned alot of us. Michael Jakson's passing it me hard. they will all truely be missed but not forgotten"...

Mel Boogie (CKLN-Canada): "My favorite moment this year is FINALLY getting back on the air (that was the LONGEST 8 months of my life!!!!) and having the opportunity to open for Busta Rhymes in Toronto"...

Kazzeo (KHDC-CA): "Looking back on 2009, it's a little harder this year to recognize a real standout memory than it has been in past years. 2009 was the first year since 2001 that I stayed on the West Coast for the entire year. I didn't attend the annual CMJ event where something crazy always goes down so I don't have anything to recall from that. So I have to draw a memory from somewhere else in my mental archives. Could it be hanging out at the "Fresh Air" tour with Brother Ali & Evidence? Could it be going to see a live taping of the Jimmy Kimmel show and rolling out to Fat Burger at 2am like Ice Cube? Maybe it's going to see a Saigon show where he just leaves the club before getting on stage because there aren't enough people in the club. It might be the fun of making all my youtube videos bashing Jamarcus Russell. Or it could be the fun of watching J-Lo bust her ass at the American Music Awards or Tiger Woods self destruct over some hoes. Nah it's none of the above. It's actually a tie between two other thing. I'll remember 2009 as the year that one of the guys who inspired me to do what I do on radio, a guy a used to listen to when I was in high school, decided it was time to hang up the headphones and enjoy life. It was the year that my boy Mike Nardone, one of the best college dj's in the game, ended his show on KXLU. 2009 was also the year that I marked 16 years on air hosting my show, the ONLY place to hear raw, real Hip Hop on the Central Coast of Cali. Those are my two greatest memories of 2009. Shout out to my radio brother Jason D, my boy Tahmi Gotti, Nasty Nes for continuing to dominate with Rap Attack, all the promoters in the game keeping the music coming my way, all the artists who took time to be on my show this past year, all the true college dj's doing it for the love & not the promise of career advancement, and to close circle of friends who listen to my late night moments of frustration. You know who you are. R.I.P. to Michael Jackson, Ricardo Montalban, Paul Harvey, Marilyn Chambers, Viola Wills, David Carradine, Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Mr. Magic, and my fellow Santa Cruz native Jasmine Fiore"...
 

The Wonder TwinZ - DJ Sonic (SIRIUS): "2009 was another great year; I still can't believe it’s over... But this cold ass weather is a definite reminder that it’s a wrap!!!! I have many memories of 2009, but my proudest moment of the year took place on April 21st... Prior to that date, I had learned that a childhood friend of mine was diagnosed with Kidney failure and had begun Dialysis treatment three times a week. Although a person can prolong their life by going to Dialysis, the treatment doesn’t cure the disease. Therefore, they will ultimately die from kidney failure.

The day I was told that my friend was going thru this situation is when I immediately called my local hospital and inquired about kidney donation and what the required steps were. Once I was given the proper answers to my questions, I made the decision to offer my kidney to my friend. However, it’s not as simple as that. There are several tests, exams, etc that must be done, before the doctor can approve a donation from a possible donor. So with that being said, I spent the first few months of 2009 going back and forth to my doctor to perform various tests. Upon completion of the final exam, I was given the "Go Ahead" by my Doctor. So on the morning of April 21st, 2009, I checked into the Hospital and underwent a successful kidney donation procedure, in which the doctors took a kidney out of my body and put it into my friend’s body.

Here we are several months later and I'm happy to say that my friend is doing great... He has been able to go back to work full-time. Even better that that, he has asked his girlfriend to marry him and she said Yes. So 2009 was a great year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Wonder TwinZ – LORD VADER (SIRIUS): "WOW… another year gone. 2009 was an absolutely amazing year. It seems like we packed 24 months into 1 year. We started out 2009 with a three-week tour across Canada performing over a dozen shows in some of the coldest cities I’ve ever been to. Traveling across Canada, in a state-of-the-art tour bus, with Naughty By Nature was a dream come true. Very few forms of travel compare to a custom tour bus and I cant wait to do it again.

A few months later, my brother successfully donated his kidney to our best friend and thankfully saved his life. They are both healthy and doing great now.

In July, we moved out of our bachelor pad and in to our new home on a beautiful 3-acre, lakefront, property on Long Island. Somewhere around this same time, my girlfriend found an Internet posting for a TV show looking to renovate a house. I submitted an email with pictures and video of our new home and told them what we’d like to renovate. A few months later, there’s a full-blown camera crew in our house for one week straight. They renovated three rooms, installing new hard wood floors, walk-in closets and even a flat screen TV that rises up out of a cabinet. It’s amazing how much free stuff you can get from one simple email.

All of this stuff has been amazing, but no experience I’ve had this year would compare to the experience I was fortunate to have in October. Thanks to Naughty By Nature, DJ Skribble and the USO, I was given the opportunity to travel 14 hours around the world to Iraq & Kuwait to perform on a bunch of US Military bases. Every day, they had something new line-up for us to experience. From riding in tanks to flying in C-130 cargo planes, we did it all. They even flew us, in Blackhawk Helicopters with the doors wide open, to a small camp along the Syrian border. They took us to their Special Forces division and showed us all their cool toys like rocket launchers, grenade launchers, sniper rifles and night vision goggles. We performed for hundreds of troops and got to eat and live amongst them for one week. What an amazing week. After sitting there and listening to the stories from these soldiers and seeing, first-hand, what they go through, I have a new respect for the armed forces. Each night I sat up for an extra two hours and wrote a long yet extremely detailed blog about each day.

 http://www.WonderTwinZ.wordpress.com 

Now in the last month of 2009, we have completed our very first project for AMP Films that will be airing on the TV One network starting December 27. Please be sure to watch TV One’s “Blacklist – The 20 most notable and notorious moments of 2009”. Being that this is our first independent project to air on this network, we are all very excited to see it come to life.

All in all, 2009 was a great year for The Wonder TwinZ. From countrywide tours, to kidney donations, free home renovations for TV to traveling to The Persian Gulf to raise the moral of our troops, we’ve done a lot this year and I cant wait to see what 2010 will bring us"..
