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

Hey folks,
I'm back again in yet another Crazy Al Cayne parody video called STD's on my dick. Yes that's me as Dr.Truth. Shout out to Crazy Al. I enjoy working with talented people and he supercedes that for real son. Wow i used supercede and for real son simultaneously.....that's hip hop or maybe not depending on who you ask but in my world it is. I'm not going to get into that debate because it's STOO-PID.
anyway, back to the video. It's a parody to rich boy's "throw some d's" but it has a bigger message that everyone needs to heed including women. Sexually Transmitted Diseases have been spreading for years and continue to do so at an all time high especially amongst teens and that's starting at 11 yrs old. Horrifying and gross to even think about it but that's the reality we live in. You have to really hate your life if you don't use some sort of protection, correctly i might add, in this modern world of super germs that antibiotics can barely fight anymore. Don't mean to be glum (another SAT word, that means sad, gloomy) but i don't want my friends and peeps getting caught out there when it could have been avoided to begin with.
Now about BET, big up to them and Sharon Carpenter (BET news). Yes i'm actually giving BET props, but don't worry they will do something soon to return to being Coon-TV. They recently did a series called rap-it-up focusing a lot on young kids about being safe when it comes to sex and stuff. anything that keeps kids and teens safe i have to applaud because they are the next generation coming up that will run this world, and when we get to be super senior citizens they may take care of some of us or mis-care so reach out to a kid for future sake.
Alright so enjoy the video it's on the video page, here's the direct link: www.thermalsoundwaves.com/videos.cfm don't forget to check out our You tube page www.youtube.com/thermalsoundwaves , there's going to be a lot more great stuff on there soon. We are working diligently (that means hard and fast, i think or maybe that's my dirty mind) 
Please comment on this subject, call me names, hate me now, love me, ladies send sexy messages....IT"S ALL GOOD SON & SONETTES !!!!
Thank you for your continued support. Now have fun and enjoy life dammit.
