I must admit I have not been to the movie theatre in awhile. I can’t say i really remember the last movie I went to see.
Embarrassed to say it might be the Darknight…Batman
That was a hot flick
RIP Heath Ledger

I have been watching the flix that hollywood has been releasing and I must say as of lately it seems to be a nice selection out there.
I mean all across the board.
I guess creativity coupled with technology has expanded.

my kids went to see Avatar went their uncle…they didnt have much to say about it
but a few of the older homies did urge me to see the movie..
being I love a good conspiracy
and from what I hear ..this movie reflects views concerning eugenics and world domination to say the least..
like I said I havent seen it but it sounds like another 10,000 BC slash Matrix slash Ice Age.
Nah but on the real I see a lot of trailers some which have me looking forward to seeing the movie then others I’m not so sure about
well here are a few I found

Clash Of The Titans

The A-Team

IronMan 2

The Karate Kid

The Book Of Eli

Legion

WHAT IS A “RAPPERTRENEUR”?

First of all
well to be honest
it is a word I made up.

Yeh thats right I made it up.
Whats wrong with that?

What is “language” anyway?
A method of communication
using words in a structured
or conventional way.

The phraseology and
vocab of a certain profession
domain, or group.

What is A word or words?
a single distinct meaningful element of speech or writing…..

So what is a Rappertreneur?
well its derived from two words
Rapper-a person who performs rap music.
and
Entrepreneur -a person who organizes
and operates a business or businesses,
taking on greater than normal financial risks in order to do so.

I have been successfully making income from “rapping”
since 1992
not counting the countless talent shows I won for cash prior.
But successfully recording and performing globally
with my “partner in crime” or PNC as we like to say,
as ‘Smif-N-Wessun‘ ,Cocoa Brovaz and Bootcamp Clik or BCC with Duck Down .
which goes back to the use of language or phraseology.

Most of us rappers use a lot of “slang”
What is “Slang”?
a type of language that consists of words and phrases that are regarded as very informal, are more common in speech than writing, and are typically restricted to a particular context or ‘group of people’

we use this to communicate on a broad scale
not to mention Amerika is the great melting pot
with all various ethnicities, and social walks
which adds to the richness of this country.

Not to mention the cyber explosion where
people have invented a way to communicate using what is commonly called
Net Lingo. For example lol, gbtw, pcm and so on.

Its not necessarily the easiest to pick up at first
but for someone who does a lot of work on the computer,
it makes sense.

We see new words added to the lexicon each day
thanks to the twitter craze and our beloved media.

So on behalf of the few rappers who do more than just rap
smoke blunts , use drugs and alcohol, and chase groupies,
I introduce this word Rappertreneur into the lexicon.

This is just one of the many words that can be used to describe
who I am or what I do.
A rapper who runs a mutli-media company on a day to day basis
called
BUCKTOWN USA ENT.

Sometimes I think I may have bit off a little more than I can chew
but my heart is strong and I love to work hard
in the spirit of my ancestors and all the pioneers
I work to evolve and grow.

For the sake of the young ones that follow
we offer experience, history, knowledge, wisdom and hope.

Be creative
Be inventive
Be free to be You

Salute
General Steele

Peace
Power & Prosperity

Finally the next dimension of the Bucktown saga. This marks the beginning of new things to come and the continuance of a legacy of a song turned company turned lifestyle. Finally we launch the new website <www.BucktownUsa.com>. Big up to Cynical my partner in crime and Cari (Innovation Nation) for getting the site back up and looking classic. It’s been many long nights but we see how dedication pays off.

Also we are  releasing our first digital lp entitled “Welcome to Bucktown” which features a list of brooklyn rappers who I personally respect and whom are highly respected in the music industry as well as the streets. Artist such as Bootcamp of course, Smoothe and Trigga, Shabaam, Sha Stimuli and others.I wanted the lp to be reminiscent of that 95 grittiness when “Bucktown” the single was 1st released by Smif-n-Wessun. I also wanted the sound to have a kind of 70’s soul to it. It was great working with the different artist, as well as producers such as Che Triump ,Sven aka 7venHD. Big up Donna and Brian at SMT studios for treating us like family.

And finally you have the explosive collaboration of BTU and Methods NYC launching a line of limited edition Bucktown apparel, can you say “dangerous” boys and girls. Big up to all the designers that helped to bring the vision together with the apparel as well as the lp artwork. I got to work with one of favorite visionaries and photographer, Fubz.  

Everybody talks about how much they got love or use to have love for this culture , but very few are willing to take a chance on sh*t. I don’t know about you guys but I am tired off hearing artist rhyme over the same track, a milli times, are you serious. Does the word overkill mean anything to you people?

Nowadays artist seem to be failing the culture. We are not a culture based on making it rain at the club. It began from cats stealing electricity from an outside lamp post so they can plug up equipment to have a party for the hood. Something out of nothing. Up from the slums. Even the old hustlers use to at least give turkeys out in the hood. To whom much is given, much is required.

It’s my responsibility to do my part. And in parting I say stay tuned the Generals crusade has only just begun……. 

Give us some feedback, as we continue to develop the site.

BuckTooOOWwn!
