Hip Hop Hold'em in Spanish Harlem

NEW YORK--After a brisk walk around the Upper West Side, Harlem and a brief cab ride into Spanish Harlem, me, my J-Lo butt, and Spaceman are chillin' in the green room with some of the Hip Hop stars.

Spaceman is right, it's pretty evident that for the most part these guys don't know what they are doing, but they are having fun with it.

It's cool to be here behind the scene. Saigon is here and Ed Lover just stopped by with a bunch of singles talking about hanging out Sue's, a strip club in Mt. Vernon....and according to Lover, "Sue's only takes singles."

AZ just stopped by and DJ Clue is apparently showing up but we are still waiting on him.

Good thing Spaceman is here. I don't know these guys from Adam. My hip hop/rap knowledge is a little more old school than I would like to admit.

Hmm, Jen and Spaceman, two people from Kentucky, covering Hip Hop Hold'em ... very izzzinterersting.
