Radio Ro Blog

Just as promised, another volume for the video blogosphere...  We got Aj and DPP back talking about "16 Bars The Resurgence" album.  Joe Louis couldnt make this appearance, but he was at the first taping of it - you know.. the one that didnt have enough lighting and i couldnt really use the footage, but dont get me started on that...sigh...

But back on topic - this is just one of a few that will be rolling out in the next couple of days, but mannn... i got some crazy ones comin up, and you will see how the Radio Ro is really like when we have fun just talkin and gunnin about whatever... Stay Tuned! 

Ok, i know we kept you feenin for a couple of weeks, but we're back with some more video blogs!

Im in the final stages of editing so give me till tomorrow to slap up a bold fresh piece of Radio Ro as we discuss hip hop.  Volume 2 baby! I know you can hardly wait!

Yes gas is cheap once again, i havent seen these prices since i was startin college in 2000. I filled up my tank the day before yesterday at about $1.70 a gallon, and the pump stopped at $28! i was dumbfounded.  I wanted to go inside and bitch slap the gas attendant for making me so happy. lol

This mornin i heard on the news that gas was around $1.40 at a quicktrip somewhere in St. Louis and people was waiting in long lines to try to fill up as if it was a 2hr sale. But thats the real question... HOW LONG WILL THIS LAST? The prices aren't going to keep going down forever..  I suspect most people dont even want to think about it - they just want to make sure they get the gas cheap while it lasts. Niggaz can finally dust off the escalade and start rollin around the streets, and flossin with no place to go.  People will start getting mid or high grade gas again because they can finally afford to put it in their luxury car.  Parents all over the country wont mind wasting gas on their 16yr olds teaching them how to drive...

Everybodys happy, lets just throw a party at the gas station and celebrate, Radio Ro can headline a performance. lol

I always end up catching tv shows, that show stories of people that came from nothing and are wealthy now. I can picture myself in shows like that, describing my pitfalls and finally making it on top. I always ask myself how did they do it? How did they become so lucky to sieze that opportunity to capitalize off of it? I'm a business minded person, i just need to jump on an opportunity, or an idea, and just grind.

I hear time and time again, that this is America, and life is what you make it. and really i believe that, especially seein foreigners come over here broke, and then they are super rich before they retire, people from poor families, or no education owning yahts, and the most recent example... a black president... mind blowing...  It doesnt matter if you are in poverty, you can still make it, granted... it may take longer, or be more harder, but when you do make it, you are stronger for it and you appreciate it so much more.

I'm focused on making money, and im sure i will, i just dont know how exactly yet. But one things for sure, its going to happen and i will make moves as it multiplies. I aint gonna be one of those "from rags to riches to rags" I can't even ask myself "what would i do with a million dollars?" I dont tease myself with that shit, I think realistic, check it: If i was just fortunate enough to come across even $50,000 it would only grow from there... Going strait in to investing and making power moves baby. Come see my millions in 5-10 years.

I will get this money... whether its behind a mic, wearin a hoodie, or in an office building with suits ties and briefcases.

I've gotten lots of positive feedback on our first round of video blogs.  However we hit a snag, and we have to do some more recording.  Well the snag was...  We recorded a second and a third volume, but the lighting was really bad, and even in editing, i tried to lighten it up and it just looked horrible.

So we will be back, very soon, givin you what you crave... nothin but that Radio Ro all up in yo face. You can always find any video we post on our site, also they will be posted on Youtube too at our Radio Ro channel:

Last night, America showed us just how far we've come, by overwhelmingly electing Barack Obama the next President of the United States. Many skeptics never thought he could win, and even more out there thought they would never see a black president...  boy how they were wrong.  Barack beat the odds and organized the greatest campaign in history, with the greatest voter registration in history.  We cant wait to see whats next. Check out the video and watch history being made.

Well folks hope you've enjoyed our blogs so far, which if the stats are right, they are the highest read articles on the site. So we are gonna bring even more to the table with our video blog. 

Once or twice a week, we will post up a video so you can see us up close and personal, talkin about hip hop and everything else under the sun. Filled with crazy suprise guests and pure unadulterated foolishness, you'll be itchin' for your fix weekly.  You will be able to find them in the blog section, and also in the videos section as an archive of episodes.

Coming next week, so stay tuned!

More and more, we are beginning to see hip hop and politics come to the forefront of music, artists talking about real issues and encouraging the listening audience (many black youth) to put faith back into the system and vote for the change so many have been waiting for.

Rappers tend to love him -- or at least the basic idea of a black man in the White House. They understand him, they can see his dream for the future and his positive campaign, and overwhelming success is unrivaled by any other in history.  Pro-Obama rap songs and references are arriving in droves, and online video endorsements are arriving just as quickly, from "Yes We Can" a song put together by Will.I.Am featuring John Legend, all the way to hip hop stars, Young Jeezy and Nas with "My President is Black.

Ludacris with his contriversial "Politics" praising Obama, calling Hillary a bitch, saying John McCain should be in a wheelchair, not the White House, and declaring that President Bush "is mentally handicapped."

A remix of Ice Cube's "Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It," mentions Barack on which Scarface raps: "I hope that Barack could pull the troops from Iraq."

On "Black Republicans," a song from Lil Wayne's mix tape "Da Drought 3," guest Juelz Santana raps: "I'm feelin' like a black Republican / Naw, I can't call it / More like a black Democrat runnin' 'em out of office / Young Barack Obama, I'm all for it."

Three 6 Mafia's "Last 2 Walk" includes the couplet, "There's a whole lotta room in the front of the Range / Like Barack Obama said, yeah it's time for a change." 

Common, a rapper from Obama's home base of Chicago, has invoked the senator's name repeatedly, as in "The People," in which he declares: "My raps ignite the people like Obama." On a remix of the Jadakiss song "Why?," Common wonders: "Why is Bush acting like he trying to get Osama? / Why don't we impeach him and elect Obama?"

And in a recent freestyle, Jay-Z -- who is always using analogies to cast himself as hip-hop's microphone commander in chief -- concluded: "I'm signing off as the hood's Barack."

Its true that Barack inspired us all, and it shows in our music, ideas, and our actions.  I hope that because of this, we can strive to be a better people, I hope we can stop killing each other, and I hope... i just hope we can take an hour out of our day on Nov 4th and make it to the polls and vote for the change that we so desperately need.

We all have projects that are either finished or being worked on at this moment:

DPP: My album, "My Life on A Track" is actually finished but im still creating music that may go on it on not. My album is a look into my life from when I started rhyming till now. Alot of storytelling and personal expression of my inner most thoughts.

AJ the Sensation: His album, "Couch Time" is still in the process of being completed. It is on a theraputic theme of his life situations. Very conversational so you can easily get into it.

Beezy: "Burning Bush" is an in your face look at trials and tribulations that a person can go through and a testiment of how to rise from the ashes. A truly awe inspiring album.

Rotationists: We all are working on a compilation called, "The Saviors". It will showcase all of us individually as well as a unit. Its more of just classic Rotationist's songs compiled together to make you feel good about music.

RadioRo: "Lyrical Lessons" is next to come from the Ro. AJ and DPP combine again to make a follow up to "Heavy Rotation". This album is a show of hip hop at its finest. Truly a gem.

That's just a taste of what's in store from the RadioRo. We will also keep you posted of upcoming live shows as well.

I think that hip hop is starting to wake up and finally take some responsibility for the power it has. With all of the debate about it being an attack on the hip hop community, artists are putting out content that states a message more than ever before. I think before, artists just focused solely on getting money (which is still evident) but now they throw a positive message in their music here and there.

Its cool to have a good time and party but still be conscious that we, as a society, have a lot of work to do and not to lose sight of that. I see a lot of artist accepting their role as role models to the kids coming up and bridging the gap so our generations dont feel like they're out here alone. Hip hop is really maturing and that's a good thing but there's still work to be done.

If you visit the site often, you may notice that something new gets added almost on a daily basis. Well I'm gonna give you a lil sneak peek of things to come...

We're gonna beef up the multimedia freebies with:

Radio Ro mobile ringtones
Radio Ro mobile backgrounds
Radio Ro pc desktop backgrounds
Radio Ro pc screensavers

Im designing mobile phone backgrounds right now that will be available for download to your phone. So for every background i create, i have to make it for all sizes check it:

In the next couple days, i will be incorporating artist profile pages, and a couple more goodies so stay tuned.

ya boi Beezy always keeps it interesting... :)

As the site grows, we will be regularly updating and giving opinions on whatever we feel like talking about, music, media, society, politics etc... 

Black, articulate, funny and controversial, you will never know what we're going to say, and we aren't going to tell you what you want to hear, so come back often as we will also be posting videos, interviews, and more.
