how am i just getting up on this site??

Anyway, being 'stuck in the past' molds and shapes your future. If more people looked into the roots of hip hop, understood why the movement came about, learned what the original artists were trying to convey I dont' think that the music would be in the state of crisis it's in now. It's like an organization that's forgotten it's mission statment. Sure the building's still standing and people are still employed, but are they working toward the true goal of the founder?

My good friend Rick and I always reminisce about the golden years of hip hop. You are not stuck in a time warp. There is nothing wrong with revisiting the past. I just feel thankful that I grew up in the golden age of hip hop and had a chance to experience the music as it came out. Stay strong.

First of all let me be the first to tell you that for the past 15 years I have waited around waiting for the M.C. that they call D-Nice to return to the mic.It finally came to me as I sat here checking out your photo gallery why you decided to leave the game. I am now 30 years old and inspite of the fact that I am a grown ass man with a wife and seeds I continue to give my heart and dedication to this feeling we call hip-hop. I won't even sit here and try to act like I'm so and so I'm this and that, but I'm nice with mine. Inspite of that I still can't help but to remember how one MC by the name of D-Nice left the game. Instead of giving any warning or reason, and without even starting to lose any of his shine,just left. I always told myself if I ever left rap alone that is how I wanted to leave and I remember you most of all for that alone. I do not respect about 97% percent of the rappers in the game right now and instead of me trying to keep up with a industry that has no respect for its pioneers,I turn my back to the rap game, but I will never turn my back to hip hop music, and that is what you are.

This is wonderful,I'm so glad to see this web page. I'm even gladder to be able to respond. I try to log on as often as possible. By the way, have a very happy birthday, and enjoy yourself. Love like you've never been hurt and dance like nobody is looking. Your trip down memory lane (the photos) was delightful. Peace.

I sent you a letter and didnt give you the websites name..forgive me...its gamesouthent.com
Anyway, I was listening to Biz Marks tape the other day, and since its been a while since hearing it (the one with just a friend), I had to ask myself was I stuck in a time warp. Ofcourse I said no. We all have memories that brings us to a place that puts us at ease at times. Its like turning on that song that describes the pain/joy youre going through and you can just feel it, its like that artist was in your head for that moment, he/she went through what you went through. People like us vibe to that song called "Back Down Memory Lane."
We know where weve been and thats why we get to where were going to. The past helps makes us the person we are today, we learn from the mistakes, we appreciate whats been giving and we move on. She must be stuck in a time warp. Where was she when GOD created memories. Continue To Be You.
PEACE

Happy b-day baby I have had a crush on you since you said "My name is D-Nice on my tv. I wish you the best of luck in everything you do and I just have one question: how do i have someone from New York hear a bad sista from the streets flow?

CHI Town has StOoD UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad you got a web page going here D-Nice. I am a 70's & 80's kid. I grew up listening to your music, and I still have your album in my collection. Hip-Hop was all about having fun then. Now everybody wants to brag about how much ice they are rockin, or how many whips they have. WHATEVER! I don't know what homegirl's issue with you is, but obviously she has no clue who you really are. You are one of the pioneers who helped lay it down and pave the way for today's hip-hop artist, and one must PAY RESPECT TO WHOM RESPECT IS DUE. Much Love!

You have already proofed not to be stucked in a time warp by using that Weblog technology and showing your recently taken pictures which are all great. I like reading your stories about the old times but you also seem to move on quite well, so keep up your good work.

Nah man, there's enough people on your wavelength. If some feel comfortable telling you that you should move with the times, then they are usually the ones who have a false sense of what hip hop is. I hear it all the time from people who like music I don't. It's never from those who like the straight up stuff. I grew up with the same stuff you did, just in a different city on a different continent. And I'm still listening to the new stuff from the ones who know what true hip hop culture represents. Not the major label/radio distorted bullshit.

Very enlightening... It's good to hear from someone who has truly been living it, for so long...

Fresh for 2005 you suckerrrrrrrrrrrrrs!

Those times... the Golden Age of hip-hop... was my coming of age period. My life was changing. I love the stories that you share about hearing Kane Rhymes, about going on tour, all the behind the scenes stuff. That's why I come here man.

Happy 30th Birthday. You gettin old dawg!!! Sike just jokin. Wish you many more. The photo is true to life. It's interesting how some people perceive the world around them. She reads your diary and thinks you're stuck in a time warp. I read it and I'm happy to go back there.
I miss those days. Respect.
