WTF?!

It seems like things have gone from great, to good, to just bad. Like I've previously stated, The Beat has some internal problems or whatever you want to call it. Now, almost all of the original DJs are gone AND the station has changed the type of music they play from R&B and Hip Hop to just R&B. I don't know how they expect people to keep listening. And how is Free supposed to stay at a station that plays soley R&B? This sh*t is killing me. It seems like everytime Free catches a break, something happens. I really don't know what else to say. Hopefully, this situation turns out for the best.

Rewind: Vol. 5

It's Friday and I'm excited for a lot of reasons, but y'all will have to wait and see what they are...........

A lot of people came through and called in this week on Free's World. New Edition called the station up to let L.A. know about their upcoming concert in the area and touring. Kenny Smith, ESPN reporter, also dropped a line to talk about the Clippers vs. Suns series and other sports happenings. Free asked him who he would pick for his dream team. Kenny responded with Free, Foxy Brown, and Lil' Kim.

By far, the best interview during the week was with Busta Rhymes and Spliff Star. You know he and Free haven't seen each other in a minute, so it was sort of a catching up session. Busta brought his new joint with him called "I Love My Chick" and it was funny because after the song he started saying, "I love my Free." The interview slipped into a more serious mode when Free asked Busta about the murder of his body guard and friend Israel Ramirez. Busta really went into detail about the reasons why he's not talking to the police and his overall feelings about the situation. It was crazy because it was like he was just talking to Free in his living room. It was real personal.

But whenever Busta and Spliff are in the building things don't stay serious for too long. Free asked Busta who are the top 5 females he would want to get with. First thing he said was, "Halle Berry could get it." *Pause: Why do dudes always say that? I mean, are you sure she feels like you could get it too? Mutual feelings are important in these types of situations. Okay, I'm done now. LOL. *Play: Oprah and Free could get it too, according to Busta. Spliff broke in somewhere in the interview and said that he was proud of Free. He said that she just disappeared and then they found out "sweet toes" had her own thing in L.A. I loved the interview from top to bottom.

Free gave away her Nissan Murano during today's show, which was live on location. The winner started crying, but she definitely needed the car. I don't know if any of y'all heard Armand from the Night Beat on the air. Whoooooo! His voice is something crazy. I understand why he plays all the love songs and such. LOL.

And that's about it. Have a great weekend y'all.

What You've Been Waiting For

Ooooh, I'm so hype right now, but let me share this pic of Jamie Foxx and Free with you right quick.

Okay, on to bigger business. If you've stopped by Free's MySpace page today, then you'll know she has a new blog up. There's some very exciting news at the end of her blog and I quote:

"But now I'd be honored if yall would do me a favor and play A&R for me... So every Tuesday for a month yall will get a song on myspace and you can add it to your page.. The first track should be up around 5PM today.. Holla @ ya girl."

I'm too ready for this. Y'all make sure to swing back over here to leave your feedback about the song.

Fandemonium

It looked like Fandemonium was a huge success and tons of fun.

4 Minutes....And A Little More

Rewind: Vol. 4

What's good? It's that time of the week again, so let's jump right into it.

Nothing really went down this week. Tracy Ellis Ross came by the studio on Monday to talk about the season finale of Girlfriends (which was extremely good, I hope they return for their last season) . Tracy and Free together is something crazy. They talked about good girlfriends, L.A., and a bunch of explicit things that we will not discuss at this current moment in time. Some 106 memories were shared and Free talked about her wardrobe malfunctions. The whole interview was funny.

Jamie Kennedy called in to talk about his new show on MTV. I still can't figure out if this guy is serious and frankly, I don't want to find out.

Wingo from Jagged Edge called in right before the start of Fandemonium and Free talked about how much she is a fan of their music. He talked about their upcoming single, which he said is for the clubs and the release of their 5th studio album this past Tuesday. (*Side note: "Good Luck Charm" is one of my favorite songs right now.) Free said that when she moved across the country to L.A., there were 3 things that she took with her: the pimp cup Lil' Jon gave her, the teddy bear Luther Vandross signed for her, and the teddy bear Jagged Edge gave to her on their first 106 appearance. Everyone together now: "Aaawwwwww."

The majority of the week was built around hyping up Fandemonium, which went down today........or yesterday. You know what that means? Pictures! As soon as I have them, they'll be up here.

It's late, I'm going to bed, well maybe. But y'all make sure to have a good weekend and wish your mothers a Happy Mother's Day.

Question

What the hell did Free say about something special. I promise that every time I stop listening for a second she starts talking about it. All I know is it has something to do with Friday (maybe?) and 4 o'clock. Anyone know the rest?

Just Free

Check out the essence of Free......

New York

Unexpected

If you haven't figured out already, Free's World has been moved back one hour to 4 o'clock. Not only that, but Free's show has been scaled down one hour as well. So now the times are 4-7 Pacific time.The Beat has some serious internal problems and if you check their on-air DJs on a regular basis, than you'll notice that it changes almost every week. The station is slowly getting rid of almost all of its DJs. For what? I really don't know, but many think it's because 100.3 is about to be sold. Whatever the reason, let's hope Free's show continues to come on. I'm mad they're about to get rid of A-One, that was my dude. Let's not forget that Free's World also comes on Saturdays from 2-6 PM Pacific time.

To get you through the extra hour of waiting, I have a feature song of the day. I love this song crazy and I hope you do too. It's Talib Kweli feat. Free with "Ghetto Love."

Rewind: Vol. 3

It's Friday and that means it's time for your weekly dose of Rewind. Volume 3, that is.

The week started off with Free stating her real age. See "Ain't Nothin' But A Number" for all the details on that.

Lyfe Jennings came to the studio to talk about his ne album entitled Phoenix and his new song called "S.E.X," which is quite a nice record if I may say so myself. Throughout the whole interview Free told Lyfe of how big a fan she is. If you don't have this man's debut album, Lyfe 268-192, something is missing in your life.

Something that was too cute was Free's mom's surprise call. Free asked her what she was doing calling the station and her mom, Selena, told her that everyone back in Boston was missing her, but that's not the only reason why she called. Apparently, Free's mom is a Jamie Foxx fan because she called to request "Unpredictable."

Tichina Arnold did a phone interview to promote her new movie, Preaching to the Choir and her soon to be movie with Martin Lawrence, Wild Hogs. There was a lot of praise going on between the two with Free saying that Tichina is always around doing her thing. Tichina mentioned that she had to shout out her baby's father and then dropped the typical, "Can't wait for your album to drop." Free said that Tichina's husband has made some "beautiful" music for her and that sent Tichina into praise of Free's music. Tichina knew Free back in the day and she told her to "keep it moving" and "stick to your gut." She continued by saying that the music industry is fickle, but every once in a while a great artist comes along, which will eventually be Free. She also said that she is probably more excited about Free's project than Free herself is. It was a lovely interview.

AJ became the topic of conversation sometime during the week. During a music break, someone in the studio made a comment about loving AJ's clothes and everyone started laughing. Back on the air, Free said she would let us know when AJ would be stopping through, which should be soon. She also said she loved AJ and his tight shirts.

Dame Dash called in right quick to promote a new movie premeiring in California, but I never caught the name of it.

Rewind for this week is a wrap. In honor of AJ...... "Love, live life."

Ain't Nothin' But A Number

So.........................KING Magazine was WRONG. Today on 100.3 The Beat, Free stated her real age. What is it? 36. Some of y'all were right, I know I was wrong along with a ton of other people. But's it's all good. Free said, "All that stuff you read about me being 40 is wrong." Anyone who says otherwise is trippin' and you should let them know.

Rewind: Vol. 2

This week on Free's World........

Not much went down this week. Too Short dropped in and played his new joint. Marques Houston did the same, but by phone. His song was a Free's World exclusive and featured Young Joc. Avant came through and spoke about his album, The Director, his son, his writing process, and his endeavors in the reality business.

Tuesday marked the 4 year anniversary of the passing of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez. In her memory, a special dedication was made at the end of the show. Along with that, T-Boz called in to explain what exactly she does on the anniversary of her friend's death. She also talked about her album, which actually hasn't been started yet. Lisa's sister, Raindrop, came through on Friday to thank Free for the dedication made to Left Eye.

Field Mob were surprise guests during one of the shows and they talked about their upcoming album entitled "Light Poles and Pine Trees" and some of the songs featured on the CD. "Blacker The Berry" speaks of Smoke's struggle with having dark skin as a child. Smoke tried to say he was the darkest person in the room, but Free reassured him that he wasn't saying that there was a "shadow" behind him aka Chaka Zulu. LOL. There's also a track called "Baby Bend Over," which is for all the women with large behinds. That interview was just crazy from top to bottom.

While the above was all fine and dandy, Free said something on Friday's show that should make the majority of us quite happy. Near the end of the show, she shouted out her MySpace page and said........................................that this weekend she was going to put up a "record" for us to hear. So make sure you keep it locked to Free's page for what's really good. I don't know about you, but I am highly excited about hearing some new material from Ms. Freedom herself.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. I know I will. For right now, I'm so gone.

All I Got

I'm going crazy looking for this AT&T commercial. I finally found something, but unfortunately, it's not the commercial, only a picture. I did find out that it's called "Robot" though. If anyone on the west coast can help me out with this it would be greatly appreciated. Anyway, the picture is on the left. Enjoy!

More.....

Before we get to the goods, we're gonna have to reschedule the chat that was planned for Friday. Y'all let me know when you think a good time to reschedule would be. Now.......I've got some more pictures from the Bubba Sparxx concert at the Key Club. Shouts out to Candy for the pictures.

Do It

Here's a pic of Free performing at the Key Club with D Roc and Bubba Sparxx. You see Free with her stunner shades on? LOL.

Rewind

I've decided to start doing weekly recaps of Free's World, so welcome to the first edition of "Rewind."

Ciara and producers Tim and Bob both checked in by phone. Ciara spoke about her new album, which she is recording in L.A., and her song with Field Mob, "So What." Tim and Bob showed Free a lot of love and played a new song by Chico, who I think plays Spencer on UPN's Half and Half.

LeToya Luckett stopped by the show on Wednesday and discussed her break from Destiny's Child, her new album, boutique, and her 2 main goals in life: be on the Arsenio Hall Show and be interviewed by Free and AJ on the "red couch." Ironically, LeToya's video debuted on 106 the very same day she sat down to talk with Free. Another Free's World exclusive was delivered called "She Don't." As LeToya was about to bounce, she mentioned Free's potential boot line and long awaited album. Free said that she's trying to get the business side of the shoe thing worked out, but she's still looking for a record label. *Sigh* Anyway......

Lil' Fizz, formerly of B2K, dropped through to present his new joint, "Fluid." Free came up with 4 ideas for Fizz to make a million dollars in 30 days. There was bug spray, soda, work out tape, and condoms. Free asked Cudda Love what he thought of the condom idea and he said it was cool. Fizz said it was a good idea because he's always stealing condoms from Cudda anyway. That whole segment was crazy.

At the end of the show, Free, Eric Cubiche, and K-Sly were clowning on each other. They were saying that Free had a date because she was putting on lip gloss as she was getting ready to leave. She said she wakes up that way and they were like, "Does that mean there's someone there when you wake up?" Free told K "Single" Sly to stop hating and they started asking if she was single. Free said that she was in fact single. Eric asked her if she dated one of the Ying Yang Twins and she said that she and D Roc dated for a whole 30 minutes. Then Eric said that was how Free got on the remix to "Wait." Free said that just means that she was the best girl to ever whisper in his ear.

Speaking of "Wait," Free performed her verse at the Key Club earlier this week with D Roc of the Ying Yang Twins during a Bubba Sparx show. Appartently, D Roc was trying to perform the song, but the club didn't have the record. So, Free headed to the stage, not without protection though. She enlisted the help of fellow radio DJ, Mo' Dav, to stand behind her to make sure she made it to the stage with all hands off. Mo' Dav said it was cool at first until he got took by about 20 dudes trying to get at Free. Regardless, she made it to the stage and I heard her performance was crazy hot. People were calling up the station after the show to talk about her doing her thing.

Master P made a quick stop to talk with Free about the supposed beef between Romeo and Bow Wow, Dancing With the Stars, and Hurricane Katrina. Afterwards, Anthony Hamilton called in to talk about his concert with Heather Headley and Van Hunt and a surprising fact was revealed: Free has written a song for Anthony called "Weather Resistant." He said it's a really beautiful song and it might make his upcoming album.

Ray J called in during the week, but I, unfortunately, didn't catch that segment. Well, that about wraps it up for this week. Holla atcha folks soon.

P.S. I've updated my MySpace. It's not just a blank page anymore so drop through for me.

Free Friday

Okay, for those of you who missed it, Free's first week on the air ended with a crazy surprise.

Free was interviewing a pastor for Easter Sunday when all of a sudden Jamie Foxx crashed the show with a bottle of Cristal. He said it was to "celebrate Easter" but after the pastor left he said it was to welcome Free to L.A. The deal was that Free and Jamie had to drink the whole bottle by the time the show was over. She sure enough was sippin' and slurpin' on that Cristal. You could hear her trying to get the last drops in her glass. And FYI, they did in fact finish the bottle by the close of the show.

You could tell from jump they were happy to see each other. Jamie said Free was what L.A. needed, some energy and beauty. He also commented on BET's Talent Search saying, "BET searched the whole country looking for someone to fill your shoes and they couldn't do it. You are unique."

Free got Jamie a little gift, which turned out to be a piano. It was funny as hell the way she presented it to him. Monday, it had wrapping paper on it. Tuesday, it had a little bit left. Then she just decided to give it to him like that. I think he really enjoyed the present, he said it was hot and started playing the beat to Blackstreet's "Don't Leave Me."

They played "U Still Got It" featuring Common and Jamie said that since Free is in L.A. now, she can drop a quick 8 on the song from a female's point of view and she said that she was down with the idea.

Time was running out quickly, but Jamie and Free just kept on chillin' with each other: drinking and talking. Jamie spoke about his run ins with soon-to-be famous artists like T.I. and E-40, both of which he told would never make it. Obviously, the opposite ended up happening, so what did he say to Free? "Free, you're never going to make it." I know it sounds bad, but that's not what he meant by any means.
Jamie brought an exclusive record featuring LL Cool J that NO ONE has heard, not even his record company. So, we got our first Free's World exclusive.

Jamie got upset with Free's PA because he was asking him "silly" questions. He said he already knew Free and he didn't need to answer questions like, "How do you feel about Free?" I swear that sh*t was hilarious. He also told Free that he wouldn't hit on her anymore, depending on what she was wearing or unless she wanted him to. There were so many funny moments during the show, I really hope you caught it for yourself.

The interview was so crazy that Free's World spilled over into the next hour! Free's World is virtually 106 & Park on the air. Anything can happen.

Jamie said he's gonna come every other Friday, so make sure you check for the "Bonnie and Clyde" of radio (according to Jamie) every other Friday. With that being said, I was thinking of setting up the chat I was talking about before for next Friday, April 28.
