WMC 2011 RECAP BY OVEOUS MAXIMUS : PHOTOS

One of the first nites in Miami I ran into the heavy spitter Talib. Was good to see my fellow Def Jam Poetry rapper in the mix. It was Biggie on the playlist all nite too. fiya. oh yea, and "Gutta Rainbows" is out now. get that.

This place I always hit cuz it never fails me. they cook the food here with lots of L'Ove.

Whenever I rent a car, I always get it in black. have to. its just classic to me. and classy. but even sweeter than that is having New York plates in Florida. word.

JoJo Flores has his party every year called GotSoul at WMC. 2 years ago he had me perform the Yoruba classic "Mirror Dance". This year he showed me mad L'Ove by letting me perform and debut my new single "NOvela y Con Con". mega props to him for that. South Africa was in the house and they showed my Caribbean self much L'Ove!

On my final days, I reflected on my past. and made peace with it. for eternity. This you see here is my dreads from back in the day. I buried them in the Ocean. Location will not be disclosed. MY ENERGY IS NOW STRONGER THAN EVER. RIP to the old. L'Ove you. but on to the NEW...

Ok, this is a Miami sunset. need I say more? no i don't... take a moment to look around you. and absorb the beauties in life and nature. the calm. the peace.

side note: Japan, I wish you a quick and healthy and positve recovery.

One L'Ove

SUITE FOR MA DUKES CONCERT VIDEO SNIPPET



yes i was there... yessss it was the most incredible tribute anyone could ever have. yesss it was the illest concert i've seen in years. i love how Common came thru after the Oscars (had to, he was wearing a tux). Bilal's solo was by far the standout vocalist. Dwele, who's music i love, did not bring his A game that night. Bilal did tho... lol... but still, Dwele was cool...

When De la Soul's Plug 1 aka Posdnuos and Talib Qweli came out... the place went bananas! Stakes is High was the final number. and they ripped it. the encore that followed was dope to. espcially cuz they did my favorite joint. "Fall in Love".

i'm just glad that i was there and was part of history. rest in peace and in honor Dilla...

i'm outti...
