Lately…

Lately….

Been in a good groove and I ain’t trynna mess my thing up.

Reacquainting myself with spirituality and all things holy and clean. Entertainment business and business in general is filled with so much “dirty stuff”, for lack of a better phrase. Cheating, gossiping, greed, etc… If you don’t take time to step out of the box, you could easily get caught up and begin to accept these things as the norm. As most of us usually find out though, the norm is rarely the way to go.

Gotten more focused than ever on my reading and running….two things that will make you great in this world.

Been studying sounds. I’m a thousand billion percent sure that before it’s all said and done, I’ll have a hand in contributing life changing music to the world; whether it’s me or someone I work with remains to be seen. Either way, gotta stay prepared.

Not feeling too many people. I was telling a friend of mine the other day how I feel I know 3 or 4 truly real people. Not that everyone else is fake, but I mean 3 or 4 people who truly know who they are and find comfort in it. Everyone else just seems lost. Like they’re searching…searching for riches, searching for cool, searching for acceptance, searching for sex, searching for love, searching for attention, searching for whatever. I’m no one to judge because I once used to search too, but then I found that all I really need in this world is myself. Work on myself and all the rest will come.

Spent some quality time with my team and extended team. It feels good to be around people who know in their heart of hearts that they’re going to win. They trust you, you trust them, and things seem to work out for the best. Hope it stays this way.

Thinking it’s best I stay single forever. These girls man………………

Getting my basketball game up. I’m like THIS close to dunking.

Awaiting the return of Fall/Winter. Summer is cool but I’m sick of sweating and sick of t-shirts. I wanna break out my sweater and jacket game.

Appreciating New York City. When I first moved to New Jersey back in April, I hated NYC with a passion. I was trying to do things my way and it wasn’t working. Parking wherever I felt like, not wearing seat belts, running lights, etc… I quickly found out that it was either get used to the way things work here or go to jail. I opted to adapt and things have been going smooth. Johnny Law aside, New York is truly a great place and has some good people amidst all the fast walking and reckless driving.

Till next time,

Peace + Love

Means Nothing But Means Everything Part 2

Fall’s leaving, leaves falling
Enter winter, delete autumn
Hope to have a Rolls by Spring
But lately I’m willing to settle for a 3 piece and some rolls, like spring
Cookie cutter industry disguised as fortune
But once unwrapped, it’s just lies and more shit
They say he skip all the parties, aint never gon blow
I say my life’s tailored for my body, can’t rock what the general sew
The land of the fickle, yes they might be fooled here
So I wear masks, stay low, and celebrate Chinese New Year
With the heart of a lion, the eye of a tiger
Can’t make it out the woods, won’t hire a driver
Jesus take the wheel but please keep this Fresh Prince alive and inspired
Take care of my uncles, bring peace to my aunts
Even if they aint the ones that was with me from start
I wish you could bless every girl in the world
So until my young money grows she won’t stress me for pearls
Princess seems to have her mind on diamonds
Telling me that I should join a mob that’s criming
She act super proper but come from the ghetto
So naturally her mind is on pumps and stiletto’s
I’m from the same place, I just was a rebel
So I send her deep quotes, trynna up her a level
Honest Abe to my moms, Obama to public
With Bush’s paranoia, got my eye on the button
Pockets fluctuating, seen heavy dough though
It’s just when I climb, I fall, like Jenny Lo Lo
But now the falls are leaving
Leaving the falling
Enter the winner
Delete the losses

It’s Friday..Ophh The Wall

It’s Friiiiiiiiiiiidaaaaaaaaaaaaay. R.I.P. to David Hanes who passed away a few years ago. He was the radio personality that used to kick off all of our Friday’s down here in DC.

I’m mad confused over what to put in my mood music section. I feel a bunch of moods right now. All good ones though. I just got all this energy recently, I’m just bouncing off the walls…like a young Mike Jack. Hey!! That might be the answer right there.

I put down the Guitar Heros last night and decided to read a couple of books. Blogs and the internet in general are starting to bore me. I have about 4-10 that I check each day because they have fresh thoughts on stuff or because the blogger is witty, original, and stuff like that. Outside of that, how many videos of a girl peeing on the street can you watch? I swear if I lived in a warmer climate I would never be on the web.

Firm Biz was good this week. The key is to grow as a company each and every single week of 2009. My new job as Brand Organizer is basically to come up with ways to add to that growth and also to keep track of it. In other words I’ll be held responsible if you don’t know what The Famous Firm is. So if you see me on top of the White House with an “FF” t-shirt on towards the end of a slow month, you know why.

This weekend I MUST, MUST play basketball. Of all my New Years goals that’s the one I’m yet to fulfill. Well that and checking up on friends, but that was just too unrealistic. It’s too forced and feels fake to all of a sudden start messaging and calling people. Plus I don’t know who is who sometimes. At the end of the day I got love for just about everyone, my current situation just won’t permit me to show it the way some would like.

“For when two beings who are not friends are near each other there is no meeting, and when friends are far apart there is no separation.”

The other day I asked myself “do you even still make music?”. Then I replied myself “hell yeah”. Then I asked myself “so where’s the new material?”. Then I replied myself “ummmmmmmmmmm”. Then I laughed at myself, turned the beat up high and commenced to rhyming. Honestly creating music is my first love and it will never leave me. It’s just the nonsense that comes after it that I hate so much (ie. My name is Phella and I have this really good song that I think your blog viewers might like, you think you can post it?….and they respond ___________________________). To a man with pride one or two of those will make you say “f*ck this, I got better things to do with my time”. But that’s promoting the music. The actual creating and recording aspect is the best feeling on the planet, especially when you’re nice with it…lol. <<<<<<<< fake lol to make me not seem arrogant

This weekend I need to interview two or more famous people for Thank God I’m Famous Magazine. Think Miley Cyrus is available?

Until next week, or until an hour from now when I get bored and need to blog…..I’ll Holla

Famous Firm Lunch Breaks



I found this to be quite interesting. No matter what coast or region we’re on, The Famous Firm members seem to share similar work patterns.

Everyone works works works then randomly does whatever they want, lol.

I was about to go on my afternoon lunch break which consisted of the gym, a meal at Boston Market and an episode of the Wayans brothers. I decided to rummage through some facebook status updates to see if there was anything interesting going on.

I saw four of my Firm La Firmilia had just updated their twitters and everyone was either sleeping, about to sleep, watching a movie or just finished watching tv and movies etc… Weird right? More companies should adopt this strategy because after you do what you want, you’re more inclined to get back to work for the rest of the day.

Shouts to Sick and Markus in LA, Sean in Ohio and Diarm in Connecticut.

Reasons Why Jamz Should Chill

When the homegirl Jamz sent a 1 minute video my way, she should’ve expected a 5 minute movie in return right?

Shout out to J.Rob and Jacks for their honesty. Couldn’t track down the old head who has witnessed my pool wizardry but I believe this shall suffice.

Sidenote:Seven Pounds is out in theaters in a few hours. I got all my workouts in from Sunday thru today just so tomorrow can be dedicated to watching that and eating whatever I feel like eating. Hopefully it doesn’t dissapoint…review coming soon.

Sidenote#2:What up to JT of Asap Music Group in Baltimore. Ya’ll get it in. Had a good time out there in Charm City minus this one weirdo who tried to bag me up…sorry player but I don’t do the midnight train to Georgia. Phelly Phell likes the ladies only.

Phantasy Dating

Scoring Breakdown:
Physical=10pts
Smile=20pts
Confidence with Humility=20pts
Too Confident/Arrogant=-20pts
Low Self Esteem/Low Confidence=-30pts
Positive Energy=+30pts
Negative Energy=Stay Far Away
Fashion/Style=20pts
Materialistic=-10pts
Ghetto Girl=10pts
Classy With Ghetto Tendencies=20pts
Goal Oriented=10pts
Too Goal Oriented=-30pts
Not Goal Oriented At All/Gold Digger=-30 pts
Tainted Past=-1000000000000000pts

I decided to hit the reset button on all my crushes. Above is the criteria that I go by in Phantasy Dating.

Keyshia Cole is still cool and all but she has an album coming out and won’t be able to provide the attention I need. That -30 for being too goal oriented really cost her.

Bria Myles used to be front runner but she is just getting too OD with the pics she takes….cool to look at, but I don’t think I can wife something that (I know) everyone has seen. She unfortunately got a negative 1 gazillion because of her tainted past.

Chicks like Sanaa Lathan are a little bit too cliche. Every dude mentions her in their top 10. Her Fantasy score is extremely high but we don’t do cliches over here. We like New New.

Speaking of “New New”. Lauren London also has an extremely high score too but we need more power moves from her career wise to certify that she’s not a GD.

For some odd reason I really like Rocsi off 106 and Park. Obviously she looks good but that usually isn’t the deciding factor. I think it’s because she has that “I think I’m too good” attitude that I love. 50 Cent would put her in the negative 1 gazillion category but I don’t believe Fif. She gets disqualified because she replaced, Free, the ultimate Phantasy dater.

Taraji P Henson (Howard University Girl) is also back on the playing field. I hadn’t seen her in anything for a while until the Jamie Foxx/T.I. video. She’s super smart and always smiling, plus she has that sassyness that Rocsi has mixed in with some humble pie. I think she wins for now. She fits into every positive category on the list plus tons of bonus points for things not mentioned.

That’s it for Phantasy. As for real life, I always catch borderline crazy joints(that’s what I say). Or they’re normal and I make them crazy (that’s what they say). “You should see how I am around girls, I ruin them all”-Jay-Z

Why I Don’t Have A Twitter


It’s been brought to my attention that I “have to have a twitter.” Like literally, get a twitter or stop livng type stuff. I’ve been hip to the benefits of twitter for a while thanks to an article I read about how the makers plan to cash out from it.

My number 1 reason for not getting a twitter is simply because I think too much. I’m constantly analyzing and processing everything. If my phone is by my side while I’m doing all this thinking can you imagine how many twitter updates that would be? and what they might say?

I would get myself in trouble quick. Between my music, blog, and facebook status some people already accuse me of being slightly off, or like someone put it today, “I already knew you weren’t playing with a full deck”..lol. So no twitter for ole Phelly anytime soon. Blackberry Messenger+Blogger+Facebook Status is all the self expressing technology I can handle for now.

*Sidebar-This is blog #99. Seems like just yesterday I was saying I would never blog for some of the same reasons I just gave.
*Sidebar 2-I think the economy has affected my blog comments. When I first started out, comments used to pour in, now not so much….damn that George Bush. Interacting is no fun if you don’t get feedback.
