Because of my media background, love for to know that someone is educating the youth to let them know that music, and photography career, I was up for a new experience. I’ve it’s a dead end road. I myself experimented with drugs, and that’s got to tell you, Julia, I liked it.

12 // OZONE MAG JB’s 2cents conomics was one of the few subjects I could actually toler- ate during my two year “enrollment” (not the same thing as “attendance,” per say) at the University of Central Florida. And even so, the economics of a recession is such a hard concept Eto grasp. The global financial meltdown doesn’t seem to make sense. How can everyone be broke at the same time? How can every country be fucked up simultaneously? Money doesn’t just vanish into thin air, does it? If the U.S. and China and Russia and every other country in the 10 THINGS I’M world is in a recession, where did all the money go? I kind of get it, but don’t get it at the same time. MOST HATIN’ ON (SEX ISSUE EDITION) I have mixed feelings about the recession. In a way, I’m somewhat in awe of it. It’s such a powerful by Shawty Shawty ”What My Name Is?” phenomenon; such a hard-to-grasp concept. I appreciate its power. We needed to be humbled. I’m sort of happy. Why in the fuck would anyone be happy about the recession, you ask? Let me explain. 1. saggin’ titties For one, the recession has leveled the playing field.

This is the story of Pink - a nineteen year old who sings, studIEs, and strips.

Born in Buffalo, NY, and reared in Mobile, Alabama, Pink enjoyed a pretty much average childhood, and despite the many miscon- ceptions people have of Alabama, Pink insists Mobile is the ideal place to raise a family.

“Mobile is a great place to grow up,” she says. “I love Mobile, it will always be home, but I was ready to move on in life.” She was also ready to move on from her job as a cashier at Wal-Mart and venture into a slightly more entertaining profession

So Pink departed Sweet Home Alabama and headed three hours northeast to Atlanta where she entered an amateur dancer contest at Strokers earlier this year. “They offered me a job that night,“ she remembers. “And I’ve been working here ever since.”

In addition to her pole position, the 34-24-38 Pink is also passionate about music, and spends much of her time singing and writing R&B songs. In fact, she says she is featured on childhood friend and fellow Mobile native ’s upcoming CD, where she sings a hook under the alias “Ms. V.”

And while Pink would love to pursue her singing aspirations, her alter- nate career goal is to become an airline flight attendant. “Being a [flight attendant] is my dream job,” she confesses. “I love to travel so that would be the perfect job for me. I’d get to see the world.”

Currently Pink flies around the pole at Strokers and her passengers get to enjoy her aerial views and world class service. “I have big goals, but for now I like my job here. It’s always entertaining, and most of the guys who come here are nice.” - Eric Perrin

OZONE MAG // 27 In September 2005, I spent 48 hours in Atlantic City trailing two- time “Pimp of the Year” winner Matthew “Knowledge” Thompkins, which, if nothing else, was one of the more intriguing experiences of my photojournalism career. My interview with him and several of his hoes appeared in OZONE’s 3rd annual sex issue. Shortly after, Knowledge (a.k.a. “Brandon”) was arrested along with six of his counterparts in a nationwide FBI sting related to underage prostitu- tion. Now serving a 20 year sentence, the pimp-turned-author shares some snippets from his upcoming book on the business of sex. - Julia Beverly

What’s the best part about being a sexy female DJ? Since being a female in a male dominated industry is so rare, sometimes you get that gig or that recogni- tion over others cause you stand out.

Have you ever sent someone a camera phone picture of yourself naked? Yup, my boyfriend. Cause sometimes we gotta be apart, so you gotta give the anticipation of seeing each other again a little push.

What’s the hardest part about being a sexy female DJ? The hardest part about being a female DJ is when someone won’t hire you because you are a female, and they don’t believe you could rock a party better than a guy can. Or they hired a female before and she really wasn’t that good. So you always have to prove yourself.

What’s the best part about be- ing a sexy female DJ? The best part about being a sexy female DJ is when you walk into a party with a dress and heels and everyone from the security and bartenders think you are a go-go dancers, and then you walk behind the turntables and start killing the party.

I saw that huge Emporio Armani billboard of him in New York and his package looked huge too. I love athletic men. And Diddy. I know y’all said three but I’m going to add one more.

Is your single “Ride” a real life situation? Do you have a ride-or-die wifey at home or are you a single man on the road having fun? I got a lil’ somethin’ at the crib, I mean?

She’ll probably be happy to read that, huh? Fa sho.

You came up almost overnight thanks to your situation with Khaled, so I’m sure you’ve got a lot of females trying to get at you now. Have you seen their attitudes change over the last year or two? Yeah, I have. Everywhere I go, even places I’ve visited before and I come back, they might not have been showing too much love when I was there, but the next time around as I get hotter and hotter, they tend to show more love. It’s all good though.

Have you been enjoying the groupie love, or do you try to stay away from that? Honestly, I kinda try to stay away from it just ‘cause it’s so much shit floatin’ around. I try to stay on the safe side.

Have you had any females come at you and say something crazy? Yeah, I mean, I got females that come up to me and say crazy shit all the time regarding the shit they would do to me, if given this amount of time they could have me feeling like this, you know what I mean? It is what it is though.

Does an aggressive female turn you on or off? You know, I like the aggressive type of female, but outta respect for my situation at the crib, I try to keep it cool.

What about famous women? Before you became a celebrity yourself, were there any female celebrities that you had on your hit list? I had a little thing for Meagan Good but after a while that urge kinda flipped around. It ain’t like that no mo’.

Have you been able to meet any famous women you never thought you’d meet? We had a section in the magazine called Group- they don’t know where my residence is. Thank Yeah, I have, but I wasn’t really into ‘em ‘cause I ie Confessions. I know you said you don’t really God for that. feel like it’s all fake. I don’t wanna be one of them mess with groupies too heavy, but if somebody cats that’s dating another industry female. Fa sho. did get at you and told a story about it, what do Miami is big on strip clubs. Do you break bread I’d rather have a regular female that’s been riding you think she’d say about you? in the strip club or have you ever paid for sex? with me since the [beginning] and she’s still hold- Aw, man, she’d be like, “Ace Hood is that nigga. Never did that. I never paid for it and don’t plan ing me down. That’s what I like more. He put it on me. I never met a nigga like him!” on it. I mean, we make it rain here and there, but She’ll probably say I took her to heaven. besides that, nah. [Pussy] is free, you know? Do you have a favorite porn star? Nah. (laughs) I ain’t into porn or nothing like that. What’s the secret? How do you take ‘em to heaven? Since you’ve been on the road traveling, what I mean, they just gotta come experience it. They city would you say has the best females? What kind of car do you think gets you the just gotta float on that cloud and just ride with It’s probably gotta be Houston.

KILLER Words by Julia Beverly MIKE Who’s your favorite porn star and why? I don’t watch porn enough to actually know people by name and be a fan. But in terms of personal porn, I have my own collection.

So you are your favorite porn star? Yeah. Me and whatever beautiful assortment of women are with me. I like chocolate and vanilla, like when you get a light-skinned girl and a dark- skinned girl together, personally. But, I guess honestly, Superhead is my favorite porn star. She became my favorite after I saw her in the porno with Mr. Marcus. It’s rare you see black girls give head with that much enthu- siasm, and she bagged a professional. That’s the equivalent of a guy who plays at the Run-N-Shoot beatin’ Jordan. (laughs) And he ain’t but 21 [years old]! Yeah, so Karrine Steffans gets my vote for that. Janet Jacme gets an honorable mention. (laughs)

What kind of car gets you the most action? Mercedes, no bullshit. Any [model] Benz will work if you’re dealin’ with hoodrats, but if you’ve got a 500 or 600 or 550 or somethin’ you’re good across the board for some action. If you’ve got a 430 or something just take the plates off the back, you know? The big body Benzes and the big body coupes definitely get you in. That’ll get you any girl, from the hoodrats to the Michelle Obamas. You’re good in a fuckin’ Benz.

Do you think gay marriage should be legal? Roseanne or Star Jones? I think heterosexual people are not the only people who deserve to hate Man, I’m fucking the shit outta Roseanne. I’m beatin’ that white bitch each other for 50 or 60 years and die, so I have no problem with gays being down. I don’t want none of that loose goose man! I don’t want none of that married. If anybody else wants to suffer with each other for 60 years they Star Jones man! Look man, I ain’t hittin’ behind no girl I ever suspected of can. And straight people are raising gay kids anyway so shit, why not let datin’ a guy that wasn’t on the level, you know what I mean? If he look like them adopt? More gay marriage and if you’re a gay kid, a gay couple should he go both ways, no, no, no, ma’am. You can keep that. be able to adopt you. New York or Hoopz? Pick one: the Vagina Power lady Alexyss Tylor, or Oprah? Hoopz. Hoopz looks like ‘Pac with a wig on.

Shit, I got the OG’s in the street so right now I’m just trying to get my new fans, the 15 and 16 year olds that are just discovering Keke. I want my fans to look at this album as a career that’s starting and not one that’s ending.

Now that you have to market yourself to a whole new generation are you learning any- thing from the new school of artists? I’m learning. I’ve learned so much from Paul. How to shake every hand. How to kiss every baby. How to be on time. Paul doesn’t have to write another major rhyme in his life and he’ll still sell records off of his personality alone.

Do you feel that you should accept part of the blame for not being as big of a star as you could? Yeah. I took this game as a hustle instead of a career for so long. DJ Screw’s house was just fun. We paid to do those CDs. We wasn’t getting money. The new generation came in getting money, but not us. I had to convince Fat Pat to write his whole album because he wanted to just go in the booth and freestyle the thing. I used to just do a CD for $40,000 cash. I got CDs and verses all over the place. Until I saw my raps sell- ing millions I didn’t think about a career. When I first signed with Koch they said, “Don’t rap like that.” No “coming down” and “swangin.” Then two years later Paul and them came out with my rap

OZONE MAG // 47 STD You can catch a STD from myths smoking a blunt with someone? Yes. You can contract herpes if sharing a blunt with someone infected with the disease. But you can relax a little. The only way to contract it is if the infected person has open sores, cuts or bleeding in their mouth. Unless you plan on do- ing oral searches on everyone you smoke with it’s best you either not worry about it too much, or just smoke by yourself.

You can catch an STD from getting a tattoo? The answer is yes. You’re mildly succeptable to catching HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C since they are the three STDs that can be contracted through contact with an infected person’s blood.

You can catch a STD from getting or giving head? Yes. You run the risk of getting an STD anytime you participate in oral sex. Though the risk is lower than it would be from unprotected anal or vaginal sex, if the person going down has any cuts or open sores in their mouth their blood can enter your body via the lining of the vagina or the tip of the penis. The same goes for the person receiving it. Chances of catching some- thing increase if you’re letting them “skeet skeet” in your mouth. You can catch a STD drinking after others? Yes, but not a STD technically. You can contract oral herpes from sharing drinks with an infected person if they have open sores. It’s the same thing as sharing drinks with someone who has the common cold or hanging around someone with the pink eye. You’re more likely to catch mono though. Either way, just be careful.

I have to create more opportunities and a better lifestyle for them, not only a better life for them today, but a better life for their futures. Although I may want to be there, I know that my responsibility is to get out there and earn a living for them to have healthy lifestyles and prominent futures. If a mother can still do that and stay home, then by all means do that. If you can work and stay at home, do that, but you’re not gon’ lean on me and make it seem like I’m responsible for the funds at your house and at my house, because you’re grown. My children got everythang they need, everythang they could possibly want or desire. If it’s things you don’t have for yourself, then you need to be doing more for yourself.

At the same time, do you think the mother should be compensated for things she may have had to sacrifice in her life in order to take care of the child? We’ve all had to sacrifice to take care of our kids. I don’t think any of us deserve to be compensated for that. We’re compensated for that with loving children. Hell naw, nobody deserves to be compensated. Everybody made sacrifices. Do they deserve to be compensated? Fuck naw. They’re compensated with the children they have. That’s their compensation. The smiles on their children’s faces, that’s their compensation. Don’t nobody work hard as me. I work 18-20 hour days. Do I deserve to be compensated for the sacrifices I make? Is she gon’ compensate me? Hell naw.

When it’s tension between the parents, how difficult is it to keep that from affecting the children? I don’t think it affects them unless the parents allows it to affect them. I don’t think it affects them unless the parents put them in that business, which I don’t do. Even [if we have problems], I don’t have nothing bad to say about their mama, because at the end of the day, that’s their mama. It doesn’t make me feel better to see someone else feel worse. It doesn’t make me feel like the bigger person to say, “Look at what yo’ mama doin’, she doin’ this and she doin’ that.” That ain’t how I get down. At the end of the day, that’s still their mama. Whether she’s right or wrong, in their eyes that’s always gon’ be their mama. Ain’t nothin’ for me to say about that.

In an interview with Tyra Banks you said you lost your virginity at 11. Now that you’re a father, and you have a lot of kids that are about to be around that age… My daughter is 12 now.

If she was sexually active, what would be your reaction? That would definitely be a problem. But you’ve gotta understand, they not coming up how I came up. They’re not living how I was living. They don’t have the luxuries or freedoms that I did. Their luxuries are increased and their freedoms are significantly decreased. They don’t have as much room to explore other life opportunities, adult situations. They can’t find them- selves in the same situations that I used to find myself in because I’ve made a better life for them.

Are you a strict disciplinarian? Not really. I’m not that strict. We have fun, but at the same time, I do set boundaries. They are children and they will live their lives as children until they graduate into adulthood.

At what point do you sit them down and have the birds and the bees talk? I think every child is different. You start real early with simple stuff, like the difference between boys and girls, the difference in the way you treat a lady and the way you treat a man, the difference in what’s okay to do and what’s not okay to do, the difference in what’s right and wrong as far as touching you and being around you, things like that. You start that kind of stuff early, then you just leave [the communication] open to make sure they’re com- fortable to come to you and talk to you about anything. From there you can kinda feel when it’s time. It’s not a set age, every child is different.

She definitely could get it.

You know she had a lil sex tape. Maybe you could make one with her. That’s what made me think I could say something to her ‘cause it ain’t like she green to the fact. I know she got that type of side in her so the shit I’m sayin’ wouldn’t be foreign to her. Even though I wouldn’t approach her like that, but us being human, that’s gonna come eventually.

Have you ever filmed yourself? Nah, the most I done got into some shit like that was I’m doing my thang, and me and my homeboys had this thing where I’d call them and just sit the phone on the dresser or some shit and let them hear how it’s goin’ down. And then they’d call my other homeboys on three-way and everybody just be in there listening.

That sounds like some high school shit. Do y’all still do that? Nah, we don’t do that shit no mo’. We outgrew that shit. Nowadays, most of the time, we run into chicks that gon’ pop it off with everybody or she might have a friend and they’ll pop it off with everybody.
