It really annoys me the way in which people, analysis, announcers, broadcasters hoist up these NFL teams who are doing well now but more than likely will be booted out of the playoffs if they even make it. The NFL is a long season and predictions mean absolutely jack right now. Ask the NY Jets who collapsed last year after getting off to a huge start or the Patriots who has a better record than the Chargers who are awful but did not make the playoffs or the Giants who were 12-4 and got bounced out, and lastly the Cardinals who never made it past the playoffs much less getting in and nearly won the Super Bowl. Save all your hype and this is the best team i've ever seen they are going to win or are favorites to win the Super Bowl talk for the bar full of losers because as memory serves me correct the Patriots were undefeated at one point, were crowned winners of it all and then got promptly stomped by the Giants. Let's keep a level head people.

Today it's been speculated that Favre is going to retire. I hope this is true because he is washed up, beyond bone dry, and on an island by himself which is where he should be. If you want your team to go no where and underachieve, pick up Brett Favre, you will have the luxury of someone who alienates a locker room, throws more interceptions than T.O does tantrums and you will be assured that you are not going to the superbowl, Hell, you might not even make the playoffs.....Playoffs?
Farewell Favre, hopefully for good. New York likes winners and you haven't been one since the last and only superbowl that you won. How long ago was that? Seems like centuries which may be how old Brett is.

Get lost !!!

I really cant understand some of the stuff I be hearing and seeing. These so called "critics" & "southern only supporters" really believe and try to make you believe that Lil Wayne is best artist and most lyrical artist of the south. NO! You will not make me believe bullshit and I will not make you beat me over my damn head with it either. I dont give a damn about what company you work for or who is your man or what fake ass title you put on yourself. B!tch please!!! How dare people if say that and we even look at them as wise people within the music business. Yes Lil Wayne has been all over the place and sold alot of units (due to a great machine pushing his shit) and I commend anyone that makes it. Id rather someone make it big from non illegal things then illegal things any day! But keep in mind that I still feel most of the time he babbles about straight nothing. After like the early 2000's I personaly felt that his level of clarity and substance has not evolved as how it should when you get older and wiser.

You might think Im gonna say TI or Young Jeezy are better artist and lyrical than Lil Wayne but Im really not. I think people forget these people because they dont drop every 3 months or is on everyones track like a musical whore. But when these artist get on other peoples tracks they take it to the next level as how they should. When they drop their own albums.....wow...they make it for everyone to vibe and their lyrical talents are off the roof. The two artist that Im talking about happen to be in the same group.....OUTKAST!

Andre 3000 and Big Boi of Outkast are either the best in all categories to sum the best southern artist(s) or within the top 5. They both are definitely better than Lil Wayne but people tend to forget or act like they are not relevent. Tracks like, Southernplayalistic, Elevators, I choose you (UGK), I like the way you move, Hey yah, Ready to go (John Legend) and so much others. Even to movies, these dudes are overall either the next to the best or the best from the south to ever do it.

*Keep in mind though, it was Micheal "Blue" Williams that helped to manage and take them to that level in their early stages and he is from the Bronx, NY. Just had to throw that one in there. Ha ha. All love though!*

Please take your time to see if what Im saying is or is not sensible and let me know. Let me know how you feel with yourself as well. Pretty soon there gonna start telling you that Trick Daddy really wasnt a huge factor of the south. Yeah.....okay....dont let these dummies beat you over the head with their so called "music biz insight". Most of these people dont even give respect to probably the biggest and most successful music businessman of the south like........Master P!
Do your research and open your "eye"!

The South Is Falling!!!!!

Of course with a title like that most people gonna ask where is this guy from?????
It honestly shouldnt matter where Im from because Hip Hop lives everywhere and Im not a statue so Im everywhere! But I will tell you so you never will have to ask and wonder. I AM FROM THE BRONX, NEW YORK CITY!!!!!!! Please never forget it, even though I will most likely mention it every now and then. Other than my city, I represent THERMAL SOUNDWAVES RADIO & VIDEO MUSIC BOX!! So I deal with music everywhere around there world as well as videos from around the world too. For the past couple of years the south has had more of the commercial spotlight than other regions within the U.S. A beautiful movement some people (myself also) would call it. Everywhere was just showing the south connecting rappers to collect way more money, sales, ads, status and so much more perks. It seemed as if a new artist coming out had to have a rapper from the south on his track or give a stamp of approval in order to get signed to a label or even put out music if you were already signed. There were alot of talented artist from the south just killing the scene with their great talents. There were also many artist from the south that were STRAIGHT TRASH yet still were able to do numbers and get perks all because they affiliated themselves with the others. Thats how powerfull the south movement was. If you would listen closely even some of the southern rappers would make mockery of up north rappers (specifically NY-NJ rappers). Some would say "we gotta bring the east coast back son" as if they were making fun of eastcoast artist. Some would just say fuck yall east coast New York niggas without even being witty about it. Whether some of the oldschool southern artist used to go through blackballing or just been treated as if they cant rap is understood as why they would feel that now. I take it as a sense of accomplishment from being held down for so long. I personal am not that old to see what some of those southern artist went through but I do understand. But someone gotta tell these not so old and younger southern artist to just stop acting like you had so bad nigga and just kick your fucking rap!
While a lot of east coast and west coast artist were falling apart do to hate and beefing, the south were capitalizing. From Lil Boosie, Lil Wayne (whatever he babbles about), UGK, David Banner, Lil Flip, TI, D4L, Trick Daddy, Outkast, Youngbloods, Lil Jon, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross and many others. The wave was just crazy! Then dudes got a little to full of them selves and went against what got them to where they were at. I sat back and just watched because a wiseman and wisewoman told me to ( I still listen to the O.G.'s in this business) and I just saw sefl destruction of the south before many others did. Thus......"The South Is Falling"!!!

Now of course there are gonna be dudes from south saying the default phrase they say all the time because some of them really dont have an intellectual conversation. "Yall niggas need to stop hating on the south"!! Thats the phrase they always say especially to someone that doesnt live in the south. Okay..BUT........when a SOUTHERN ARTIST SAID THE SAME THING people made fun of him and made it seem as if hes too old to know any better or hes hating on the younger southern artist or (here it comes)...."hes a nigga right out of jail so his mind is all crazy cause the world past him by". When I used to see some of those comments I used to be like "thats very disrespectful to someone that stood for the south since as long as I was able to do the running man. Im serious about the running man too! The artist from the south Im talking about is the late great PIMP C of the great UGK! I know I might get some backlash from this which I am more than willing to welcome whether its email wise or you wanna "try' to see me. Please understand that Im from White Plains Rd. in the Bronx, NY and I was man before I got in this business so Im ready if it has to go down!

I remember Pimp C always saying we gotta keep this shit of ours tight because we are losing it like the other regions did. Other artist and people never took wisdom of what he was saying and what he saw in the future. He was even on a radio show in Atlanta and I felt as well as many others that he was being led into a interview trap. But Pimp C stood his ground and told it like how it should be told! So now hes a miserable old southern artist huh?? Instead of agreeing with him to give tuff love many people just thought he was a hater. Not at all! Look at all the beefs with TI vs Shawty Lo, Jeezy vs. Gucci Mane, Jeezy vs. DJ Drama (huh??), Boyz N Da Hood vs Jeezy, Trae vs Mike Jones, Rick Ross vs. Trick Daddy, Plies vs. Trick Daddy, TI vs Rick Ross, Lil Flip vs TI, Lil Flip vs Slim Thug.......... This list can go on and on. Sometimes it amazes me when I find out some of these other beefs. I be like, "is it the thing now with these southern rappers to be having commercial beefs now"?? The majority shit I hear about is with Atlanta artist. Wow! Big shout out to alot of artist from more of the southwest like Texas cause they still have a little more of a understanding in my belief.

If you think Im hating or lying, do your research and come back to me and prove it to me that there is not a somewhat self destruction going on. Just look closely before you call me hater. Then if you feel so still, you can tell me something different when you see me in the club by YOUR HOOD OR CITY!! Soon alot of supporters are gonna get tired of the senseless commercial beefs going on with some of these southern artist and there will be less sponsors, advertisers, clubs, events and other perks wanting to get involved with southern artist just like how many of them did with west coast and east coast artist that went through the same shit!
The southern takeover train is about to leave the station real soon so pack your bags and dont look to come back for the next couple of years in the future. Hip Hop Takeover type of business is a revolving door. The takeover business never stays in on area too long. After a while people just wanna hear different un-beef like music. Do your research!!

I still can't get over the fact that artist are so ill prepared today and i mean that in the bad sense. As an artist you have to understand that you are part salesperson, even if you have a staff that does that. You must frequently sell your product, concepts, ideas, music, movement, and style. I am giving you some free advice here. Unless you have hired someone or the label that you are signed to has someone working your project (be very weary), no one is here to serve you or make your life easier. When you do radio, please understand it is something to further you. The station, host, producer etc.is not there to edit your music or cater to you. This aint Destiny's Child. Come correct or don't come at all. Be prepared with radio edited material because you never know where your songs will get played. Find out what the format of the show is that you have an interview with. Do they play explicit material or should you have radio edits ready before you get to the station. Confirm your interview the day before at the latest or if really pressed for time, 10 hours before your scheduled time. 2 hours before, 1 hour before is not going to cut it. If it was me, i would cancel your interview if you are doing that because at that moment you are cutting into valuable show prep time. The host/producers of the radio show are concerned about having their format right and content ready so that they can have a good show. No one wants to be bothered close to show time about your unconfirmed interview. Also, when you do confirm in advance, know exactly where you are going, ask questions, find out details because once again no one has time to be concerned about you not being able to find the studio especially when they are on air doing a program. You should take the iniative to get all of this in order or have someone do it for you but get it done in advance. Lastly, arrive to the interview early so any unforeseen problems can get worked out. It's crazy that I have to relay this stuff but some of you just don't know. It's time to start knowing.

Alright so there's been no post for a long time. I know but i wear way too many hats and been getting a lot of business squared away for the crazy mash down that is about to take place with Thermal Soundwaves. We now got podcast going in full swing, check out the page on this site or you can catch it on: thermalsoundwaves.podomatic.com or go to the iTunes store. Got merchandise coming, we have free mixtape downloads for you in our store. I'm being paged so i got to run but just know you will be seeing some great things coming. Thanks to everyone who have been supporting TSW for years and all of the new supporters we welcome you. C.Truth

Shaq's freestyle in which he rips Kobe Bryant a new one is the best rap i've heard all year, by far, hands down.....name one that tops it?....Umm..ok i'm exaggerating but it was a classic hiphop moment. Yes Shaq is an NBA player but when he picks up the mic he is an MC, whether he has talent, is good or not, is not the issue. Shaq has a better track record and has moved more units than a lot of rappers who still wish to call themselves that. He should never apologize for what he said because when you are in that arena going at your foe, you let off the entire clip. All of these analysts, writers, broadcasters, ball scratchers, etc. who says it was in poor taste, he should not have done it, are not those who embrace hip hop culture anyway so your words or opinions mean nothing....NUT- THIN. I'm going to keep this brief and just say thank you to Shaq for exposing another phony athlete and providing a great moment of comedy and entertainment. I'm flying....catch you when i land. CT.
 

I'm sorry everyone but I cant take this no more. Im not shit talking nor am I hating on anyone. But I just cant take the BS any longer and nor should you!
The people who Im about to talk about I just might see them again and might have to interview them. Not that Im stressing to get an interview from and I sure aint hiding either. Im in every state, county, boro, ward, city, parish, time zone, country (you catch my drift).
I'm talking about Lil Wayne and Baby! Ive been knowing about these gentlemen and their "ways" for about a couple years before it was on 106 & Park in front of the crowd on NATIONAL TV!!!!!!! I never pushed the issue cause you always hear rumors about people but the source of who I heard it from was a person that has no reason to lie, is making money and worked directly with them. But then there were pictures of them holding hands and tounging (in that pic you see one of their homies starring with disgust at them). Shout out to Dj Jemini & Johnny Champion!
Here's what Im saying. If your gay (like men) then shit homie, whatever makes you happy. I cant judge you and tell you who to be with cause Im not God! We all know people or dont even realize that we know gay/ lesbian people. They are in our families, the CHURCH, friends (who concile it for years), bosses, favorite actors/actresses, singers, models, MALE STRIPPERS (yes ladies), etc. Just be who you are and dont be ashamed of what people will say about you. Even when your faking, gay people still know who's gay no matter how much you talk about fucking bitches!
What were ALL the reasons why the whole roster of Cash Money leave? Turk, Boo, Gotti, Juvenile, BG, Gilly Da Kid, TQ, etc etc etc.
I'm listening to a song from Lil Wayne and he said something like "I didnt wanna deal with Kelly, but I fuck with Fat Joe, no homo though"!
I might have a word or two mixed up but HOW THE F*@k do you say no homo to that but tounge another man "volutarily" in the mouth????? Y'all need to get yall priorites straight for real. That shit is HOMO! Theres no getting around it. I would be different if a man violated you and took that from you which is called "rape". But you volunteered for that and still do it. I understand you can have love for someone as if that person was your son, father figure, daughter, mother figure etc. But I never in my life seen shit like that. You can't tell me thats some mobster shit cause I was raised and grew up with "real mobsters & gangsters"! I'm talking about what try to imitate now in alot of their songs and movies. The real ones that had pizza day, firework shows and all that for the kids in the neighborhood. Some of my loved Italian and Siclian peoples kissed on the cheek but if they kissed you on the lip it wasnt saying I love or see you tommorrow. Maybe some of the Latin people did it but it was to an extent. People that know and or grew up seeing those mobsters & gangsters know what the I'm talking about so I know Im not crazy or hating. Then the other question is for how long was that going on for behind close doors and what else.
I can run into anyone of yall or even them and stand my ground because its what I believe in. Im not telling you not to support them at all. They make good sounding music (Lil Wayne). Sometimes alot of babling but the music to dance to with the beat and chorus. But I cant feel shit he's saying to me as far as his words and meanings when you call others fags, queers and gays.
Hey, maybe you might wanna do a song with them. That doesn't mean your gay or such. Great minds make great things.But just keep in mind when you singing or rapping and you dissing certain people and their ways. The people you collabing with might be on that same shit

Just to be clear, I'm NOT calling them gay! But I am confused when they call other people that and or say "NO HOMO"!

If anyone feels totally opposite about what I wrote then you might wanna check your sexuality and your senses cause you might be a closet homosexual and your brainwashed!

Yep that’s right peeps. Learn that and take it to heart. First off, let’s get one thing right the music you keep pointing a finger at does not represent the entire Hip hop culture which has more elements than just music. I won’t get into that education right now. Let’s talk about some more things hip hop music is not: serial killers, columbine mass murderers, policy writers, controllers of media, heads of entertainment distribution channels (i.e radio, TV, music companies, etc.), presidents of universities, blah blah blah. Basically what I am saying is that you can try and cut off the music, I say try because if you know the history of the art that is not possible, but the same problems and issues you accuse it of causing will still be here. Why? Because they have been here before you ever knew of hip hop music and will be here long after you stop supporting the art form. People become what they know, what they’ve been around, and get influenced by what they grow up around. Children who have seen years of abuse or have been abused themselves within their own household get affected by that in some way and that manifests itself. When it comes to artist, it manifest through music. Think about it.

I had someone call the radio show this past week when we had Ralph McDaniels (pioneer, documentarian, predecessor of MTV, VH1) on and he complained about how rap wasn’t music blah blah blah and in his day there was real music blah blah blah. Ok listen, everything changes, you can’t expect music now to be like music in the 70’s, we are way past that. Times have changed. History can’t be the present. It plays a part in the present and future. Which leads me to this: If rap music is so bad and it’s so this and that for all you people from the 70’s and past generations, then doesn’t that mean that you guys and gals had something to do with that and you failed on some level? I mean history plays a role in the future. Bling bling, pimps, hoes, hustlers were not created by hip hop music and artists, they were already in existence. Some of those very artists had contact with and were brought up by such things as kids. Think about what kind of affect that has on a person LONG TERM. If you don’t stop the root problems from growing Youuuuuuu! will never have progress. So keep trying to get the artist to change their lyrics without changing the environments that breed the ideas for the lyrics you hate and see how far you get.

One last thing, for all you people who want to hear the positive artist and support other things besides the “buffoonery”, when was the last time Common, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Dead Prez, Jean Grae, The Roots, etc etc went platinum? And I’m talking before the ring tone and download age. Think about what I’m asking you.

Please comment agree, disagree, send threats, insults, whatever, Let’s GET IT ON !

Hey yall,  this is your girl SUPER Intern Marie. You might be wondering what the hell are they talking about? Well think about it, I was watching CNN tonight and they were covering the Sean Taylor murder last week. Now four suspects have been arrested and charged with the crime and CNN showed and tried to disect  all of the suspects myspace pages. Their pages have been deleted since then but CNN was able to save the info on the pages.  I don't know if any of that info can or will be used to convict these guys but I find it amazing the amount of information people are willing to put out there in the public. I admit that I am a bit of a conspiracy theorist but I do believe in the new world order and the mark of the beast. What is the mark of the beast? Is it a way of tracking the masses? I think myspace is the perfect tool for that. Almost everybody has a myspace, its gotta be hundreds of millions of people worldwide sharing lots of personal and some incriminating things about themselves in a public forum. Tell me what you think. 

Peace,
Marie
