#AskHoffa

Twitter has it's ups and downs but at 3am this is as high as it gets.
Amazingly one of the illest..and one of my new found favorites....by way of DWI Da Matrix Studios is playing 21 questions with his followers... 21 questions being the pun because in reality it's ask as many as he feels like answering!

My dude is seriously ill, I've had a song he's featured on, on repeat for about 2 and a half weeks now, it took forever for me to even find the damn thing...considering people are so stingy with mp3 files nowadays (The song is Titled I love me By Tek of Smiff and Wesson ,Sha Stimuli & Math Hoffa , it was produced by Drawzilla ) click here to hear it on YouTube.

If you dont believe me...see for yourself and click here. You've been forewarned...you might just end up freezing your computer with multiple downloads...


If you really want to get familiar hit up his twitter @MathHoffa and #askHoffa what the word is...

Pleasure P : Man , Monster Or Victimized Musician ?

On December 2nd,2009 (a week ago today) the world was taken by storm as Twitter users began to see ...and eventually retweet conversations ...and twit pics of court documents stating that Marcus Ramone Cooper [ stage name Pleasure P , of Pretty Ricky ] had molested a four year old girl [ whom some claim was his neice] and a multitude of other young girls.


Spetacular Smith [ stage name Spetacular of Pretty Rick] was questioned...and two screen shot images of the questioning surfaced soon after...



To make matters worse...and make the bigger picture even more shocking and grotesque were the act that court documents surfaced as well...giving the claims great credibility.









Ok now maybe I over analyze things... But earlier someone said the child's name was Mariah Smith.... Looking over the court documents it states word for word " The child, MAURICE HARRIS shall remain/be placed in the shelter custody of...."

[ Last time I checked Maurice was a little boy's name.....so PAUSE!!! He molested a boy? NOOO.... read more]

If you continue to read throughout the documents it almost seems as if the parents : Joesph Smith and Mariah Johnson are the ones being charged with child molestation or sexual misconduct....BUT when you read even further it states that the boy named as the victim not have any contact with Marcus Cooper[ Pleasure P ] so is this a mistake in people's comprehension of the ever complicated legal system and it's redundant paperwork...

Or are people simply not seeing what's going on in the paperwork? Your call.

Based on my experience in the law enforcement field...and my dealings with the judicial system, this paperwork implies that he played a role in the whole thing. It doesnt go straight forward and say " hey we know you groped that little boy's penis!"


I'll be making a poll on this one...so you all can vote on whether you think Pleasure P is innocent, or whether he's another Mike Jackson Case..

Surprise Interviews

Tomorrow I'll be finishing up two surprise interviews I'm working on right now.
These people are what I call " Path Pavers" they make way for people coming behind them trying to do similar things if not the same thing. I know alot of people are probably curious as to how they decided to do what they're doing in the music industry, as well has did they fund their plans.
I've made it my personal duty , to find out how , what , when , where and why tomorrow when I do the interview.

I won't divulge any names until the interviews are finished. I guarantee you will be satisfied with the interviews once they are finished...even if you don't who these people are. My goal is ...after reading the interviews that if you aren't familiar with them, YOU WILL BE.

With that being said I'm going to close this post, to continue writing the questions.
Keep reading, and I'll keep writing!
