"The Life And Times Of Prophecy"
Legends Gracin Stages, The West-Coast All Stars Takin Over Vegas
Last night was a Victory for the West Coast and for Hip-Hop, cause probably the Best Show in the World Last night was West Coast All-Stars at The Planet Hollywood Casino & Hotel In Las Vegas.
The show brought out Too $hort, E-40… All Five Members of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Ice Cube withi hiz boy WC and rounded out with Compton’s Game.
I would def call last night a Crowning Moment for West Coast to show off the Staying Power of its Legends, where all songs are just as sick as they’ve always been, and at this point now for Decades.
And dudes paid their Homage to those before those that are no longer with us. Short gave shouts to Pimp C on his show.
And you know Bone Thugs had to give it up to Dude who’s responsible for them being able to shine before the World as they still do, Eazy-E.. Making them Official Branches of the N.W.A. Family Tree. Then Lazyie, Flesh-N-Bone, Bizzy, Krayzie and Wish reminded the World that they are the only few that exist that had Classic and Legendary songs with both Tupac and Biggie. So Bone did those songs in Dedication as well to the Greatest that have now Left our World Behind.
So we have to give Props to our Remaining Legends. And they Def rocked the Packed House last Night.
Peep Game and Stay In Tune for More from the show

Tiny “Zeus” Lister was on the Red Carpet at the OK! Magazine Pre-Oscar Party at Greystone Manor, and he shared with us his recent excitement about the new Friday project that Ice Cube is currently organizing, which will also see the return of Chris Tucker.
But strangely, not-so-Tiny told us that the Media Check-In Booth didn’t recognize him for who he is / was / always has been … I’m sure if he told them his name was Deebo, they mighta shut up a bit. They musta really not knew who he was cause the publicist on failed to write the “Zeus” in his name on the slate. How dare she. And he dared to even say that they pushed him around. Come on now, if Deebo is letting chicks push him around, it’s only cause he was willing. Cause they will get squashed by Mister first Black President of the Apocalyptic “Fifth Element” before Barack Obama who’ll snatch yer grandmama’s chain and make you cry while ridin away on a bicycle with a “Jaws“-like score.
Treat him better next time

In A World Where It Seems Hip-Hop Has Lost Its Way…
In Walks “Toni Monroe“, the only woman who seems to have the strength, skills and abilities, and burning desires to actually resurrect the origins of Hip-Hop. To bring it back to a time when story tellers and minds with genius abilities became the journalists, historians and revolutionaries of our time.
Her lyrical prowess has the insight of an artist like Nas, with the soul and style of most female Hip-Hop and R&B Artists set to bring about a greater understanding to the game. Toni doesn’t stop at the usual banter that pervades our airwaves today. And as a matter of fact, she probably doesn’t even touch on those shallow subject matters at all.
Toni comes from a place of great understanding from an analytical and creative combination of mind and soul, to overcome obstacles and share the struggles and achievements that have made Toni Monroe the artist she is today. While her exterior may not necessarily scream out “Dopest Emcee You’ve Seen On The Scene“… Her songs definitely scream out “I told you so“.
And that’s one of those unexpected packages that brings about enough attention to influence. And add to that a person who has a purpose and a calling to be a voice box for a generation, while bringin’ mad style and flavor straight from Southern California, and you’ve got the Woman with the Presence of a Queen to set to bring SexyBack to Hip-Hop, as the sexiest of all people are those with great intellects, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and artistic creativity that shuts out the worlds judgments, assumptions, and limited intelligence and says “I Am Hip-Hop“. Clearly Toni is ready to kick suma$$ while taking over the Throne and setting things straight in the Game.
As Toni Monroe shares with us her struggles, and how she came about and was birthed as an artist, one can’t deny the fortitude and will to break through the doubts of even her closest associates… Even down to the creation of her name, which itself is a display of a Strong Independent and Sexy Woman who takes charge of her own life, Toni’s choices and path depict a woman who’s ready to take over in a world where few woman are able to command the respect as Rakim did in the Golden Era.
But those who bring about Truth in their lyrics and songs are the ones whose Legacy carries on.
It’s no wonder Toni is quickly catching the attention of folks from all over the Hip-Hop realm, performing in show and working with artists like Ice Cube, Nelly, E-40, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Mack 10 and Mobb Deep. She was even chosen to gain the coveted position as performing on stage with none other than Legendary Compton Producer / Rapper DJ Quik as he rings in 2012 at The Key Club in Hollywood.
So clearly yet another one doing it Big for 2012, as Toni is set to debut her mixtape with DJ Crazy Toones entitled “Big Girl Cookies” sure to give the Industry a stir and a buzz like none have seen since 50 Cent signed with Eminem.
So I’m pretty sure after checking out Toni’s style as an artist, and as a person in this Exclusive SunOfHollywood.com interview..
You too will agree that Toni is given a powerful position
to Resurrect Hip-Hop as her Matriarchal Mission

Kannon "Cavie" Cross... The Spirit Of Hip-Hop Past, Present, AND Future
The Life story of Music Producer Kannon Cross, a.k.a. “Caviar” a.k.a. “Cavie“, plays out like a Who’s Who of Hip-Hop’s Most Influential and Historic Figures.
Take for example the fact that Cavie was plucked out of the streets of Compton as an adolescent at the ripe old age of 12 by none other than N.W.A. Co-Founder and Ruthless Records CEO Eazy-E, along with DJ Train after showing young Cavie the difference in lives he could experience if he went from the Streets to the Hip-Hop Scene. And so he did. A teenage Cavie was blessed enough to live out his teenage years under the wings of N.W.A. Members, Eazy, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, DJ Yella, MC Ren and the D.O.C., watching them put together what would now be considered legendary works in the Hip-Hop realm and its West Coast Gangsta Rap movement.

Cavie And DMX... In The Studio Doing What They Do Best
From there, Cavie moved to Blackground Entertainment, run by Barry Hankerson, uncle to the also legendary Aaliyah. At Blackground, Cavie worked with Hip-Hop’s greatest collaborative and creative minds, which not only included Aaliyah, but also Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott and Timbaland. Cavie’s relationship with Timbaland continues to this day, as the two are set to work on a few upcoming tracks. Cavie began working on several projects with Aaliyah, including songs such as “Back in One Piece,” featuring DMX. The song was a big hit on the “Romeo Must Die” soundtrack. Blackground also hired Cavie to work with R&B artist, Tank, producing songs such as “Street Life” and “My Freak.” Cavie even mentions how Aaliyah’s final album was set to be a double album, which was to feature various tracks from Cavie, but as we know, that double album would never come to be.

Cavie And Dr. Drew Pinsky's at DMX's taping for Lifechangers
Cavie has lent his musical fingerprints to artists that we all know and love, like Mack 10, Ice Cube, Xzibit, T.I. and DMX… but was recently called by none other than Cee-Lo Green himself to not only work on Cee-Lo’s upcoming solo effort, but to also add his musical talents to the upcoming and highly anticipated and long overdue Goodie Mob album, which brings Cee-Lo back to the Dungeon Family based crew, which includes T-Mo, Big Gipp and Khujo, that made them all famous along with Outkast. These projects are not the only albums on Cavie’s plate. He recently agreed to work with Teddy Riley and another album for Macy Gray, and he’s also crafting hits for the comeback albums for T.I. and DMX.
The Hip-Hop scene of the South is definitely familiar with Cavie’s work, after moving to Atlanta in 2001 and producing tracks for T.I., beginning with work on “Urban Legend” and continuing to “King”, where he produced the menacing track, “Undertaker”. In the South, Cavie played his beats to Crime Mob, Young Dro and Ciara. Cavie also had the privilege of producing some of the late Pimp C’s last recorded songs.



Cavie, DMX And Yung Dre
And if that wasn’t enough… can you believe Cavie’s about to drop a track with Joe Jonas ??? Damn homey, talk about versatility. Versatility is definitely something that Cavie is all too familiar with, after his 2010 hit record with Macy Gray, “Beauty in the World”, generated several television placements including; “Ugly Betty”, “Law and Order LA”, “What Chilli Wants”, and the Ashton Kutcher film “Killers”. Other Macy Gray collabs also made it on the screens like “Kissed It” which became the Summertime theme the Bravo network and “Stand Up” which was in the movie “For Colored Girls”.

So when it comes to the real History of Hip-Hop, it’s time to scratch what you “think” you know… and it’s time you know what’s been really goin on. The man with the Rock Hard “Cavie” has been filling your ears and souls with that funk that your favorite artists have lent their voices and minds to, all to be the influential move makers that Hip-Hop is known for. And as Cavie prepares to set his eyes on his past dues of Superstardom, we can’t wait to see what Cavie will be releasing, both for others, as well as himself.

Cavie IS Hip-Hop
And if you’re not convinced yet, just check out the Exclusive Interview Cavie gave to SunOfHollywood.com, and prepare to relive the Ghost of Hip-Hop Past… only to see Cavie’s got the keys to the Spirit of Hip-Hop’s Future.

Erin Bria Wright, otherwise known as E.B. Wright, is bustin the scene wide open just like her father Eric “Eazy-E” Wright did so many years ago with Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, MC Ren and DJ Yella did with N.W.A. The group is responsible for revolutionizing Rap and Hip-Hop by birthing the future of the West Coast Gangsta Rap Movement, so people should realize that Erin is in a sense Hip-Hop Royalty, somewhat of a Princess if you will.
News of her new single, “What I Wanna Do”, where she’s singin her Wright behind off, hit the world this week and immediately she’s been blowin’ up the spot to see how she’s ready to enter into the arena. She’s even been given her own Milkshake at Millions of Milkshakes in no time flat. She beautifully named hers the “We Want E.B. Shake“, a beautiful play on the title to her father’s song “We Want Eazy“.
And Wednesday definitely had to be a monumental moment for this young lady. It was not only her Father’s Birthday, and not only did she launch her own Milkshake… But her single was also released on iTunes. Doin it big girl. And how beautiful that she wore a shirt in honor of Eazy.
When I had the chance to meet her for the first time, I had to let her know that her life is heading in a great direction and her musical direction is amazing. She should be proud of what she’s been doing with herself. And since I also promised her that I would download her new single, here’s photographic proof that I downloaded it on iTunes. And guess what, not only did I download it, but I downloaded it twice !!!
You go girl. We’ll be seeing a lot more of you soon. I promise. #Prophecy

Hollywood came out to show love for the little ones in our lives, the little pets that we call children and love like our own. One of the big events of the weekend to support this cause was “Cause Just 4 Paws” Hosted by Bridgetta Tomarchio (pictured below) and SportieLA in West Hollywood on Melrose Ave.
The event was sponsored by companies like BearPaws and Hypnotiq, and had the overall message of saving lives through Pet Adoption, and properly caring for our own pets.
Some folks even brought their own pets to the celebration, as did Carlos Ramirez, Twin Brother to Efren Ramirez, a.k.a. Pedro from “Napolean Dynamite“, who brought out his little pup that’s the grey haired twin of Falkor the flying pup dragon from “The NeverEnding Story”
Deal Or No Deal was representin with Katie Cleary who stopped by. Katie will be in upcoming films starring alongside Darryl Hannah and Tommy “Tiny” “Zeus” Lister … a.k.a. Debo from “Friday“. But we also had a blast from the past with Tami Erin, who was known worldwide as young Pippi Longstocking in the classic “Pippi Longstocking” films.
The Reality TV Realm also came through to show their support. Chad Rogers stopped by from Bravo’s “Million Dollar Listing” which also stars my boy Josh Altman, and recently had an appearance from one of my childhood buddies, Francesco Foggia. But Reality TV didn’t stop there, cause the Saddle Ranchers themselves, Dave Collins, Kameron Safford and Noah Valinsky came by to serve up their support.
We of course can never forget SunOfHollywood.com favorite, Paula Labaredas brought her sunshine and light to the venue, and making some dogs luckier than others… as seen by one of the lucky ones above and below.
International Beauty Pageant Model Preity Uupula left her Globe-Trotting Ways to Lend her Support. Preity is pretty much ready to take over the States, as she’s already taken over the Globe with her following Accolades:
- Miss India International 2011
- Miss India Portugal 2010
- Miss Photogenic International 2010
- Miss Earth Australia 2009
And soon, she’ll be competing for Miss Malibu 2011 and Miss India Worldwide 2011. Wow, that’s a lot of Earth ground covered.

Carlos Ramirez With His Lady, and his pup that looks like a grey Falkor from The NeverEnding Story. Both Have Love For The Puppy Tongue
Don’t forget about the wild antics of BFF Alicia Ann Marie Arden, always lending a smile and some comic relief to a Red Carpet Event Near You.
And Beauty Pageants continued to reign supreme as Miss California 2011, Katie Blair stopped by and Beth Payne.
And the Cause Just 4 Paws crowd was rounded out by Derrex Brady and His Brady Bunch of Boys, and Model Amy Lynn Rogers, seen below with a frisky puppy that puts Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake’s Super Bowl Performance to shame.
So yes, if the ladies above can’t convince you to go out and adopt a pet, then you’ve got serious, serious problems. Heed the words of Cause Just 4 Paws… Adopt a pet, and maybe one of these days, Super Fine Ladies like the ones shown above, will be smiling for you too !
