It's
that time again baby for ya
boy to put you up on whatz really
crackin' around the town. In
this month's article I'll be
focusing on a few Portland spots
that are definitely worth checking
out. I also had the chance to
interview one of the hottest
DJ's in the adult entertainment
business. This cat ain't NO
JOKE!
My
homie Tim Phillips is doing
it real BIG every Wednesday
night at the ICON. He calls
it The Session. There's
a live band jammin' throughout
the night and open mic poetry.
Tim told me "Portland has been
needing another place for people
to showcase their spoken-word
skills and hear some excellent
live music. The ICON has just
that." The Session will also
be catered, and the food is
absolutely free, so come early.
Doors open at 9:30pm and the
show starts at 10:30pm. The
cover charge is only $5. No
jerseys and no caps. Dress fly
baby and I'll see ya'll there...
I'm out!!!
I
make it fun, and girls around
town love how we're changin'
the Game! --DJ Fam-Fam
As
far as a DJ goes, he's "On Point!"
When it comes to being an MC
and a host, DJ Fam-Fam shows
a lot of love, and definitely
has Skilllllz! I was at the
Boom Boom Room West a couple
weeks ago promoting my party,
and Fam-Fam was playing nothing
but cutz! One thing I noticed
is that he is one of very few
strip club DJ's who plays a
lot of music by local artists.
That was some cool shit to see!
Big ups to you for that!
Later that night I had a chance
to holla at the homie and ask
him a few questions.
Q.
How do you describe your style,
Fam-Fam? And what differentiates
you from some of the other DJ's
in this industry?
A.
I keep it real for the people,
and I'm not afraid to play what
they want to hear!
Q.
The ladies here tonight seem
to be really enjoying the energy
you bring to the Boom Boom Room.
Do you find it hard trying to
please everybody?
A.
I make it fun, and girls around
town love how we're changin'
the game.
Q.
Who are some of the local Portland
artists that we might hear you
spinnin' at the club?
A.
Some of that Maniac Lok, some
YG, and of course some Kan't
B Caught.
Q.
What advice would you give to
local rappers that are truly
trying to get in the game?
A.
Just be yourselves, and don't
try to sound like the BAY!
I had a good ass time that night
kickin' at the Boom Boom Room
with DJ Fam-Fam, aka "The People's
Choice!" Big ups to Aspen the
sexy bartender, too. You make
a bomb ass Spanish Coffee girl!
Much love also goes out to the
sensuous entertainers, Talia,
Kylie, Gwen and Marla. Keep
it crackin' ya'll!
