WITH THE GAME & AMARE STOUDAMIRE CO-SIGNING HIM, IS JUICE THE NEW FACE OF THE WEST COAST? 5th ANNUAL SEX ISSUE PORN STARS! VANESSA MONET & MR. MARCUS PIMPIN! AP9 OF THE MOB FIGAZ WHIPS & CHAINS! DOMINATRIX MISTRESS AGAVE & MORE! 2 // 0Z0h wS1 4 // 0Z0h wS1 0Z0h wS1 // 5 T he sex issue is always our most interesting issue, not to mention our best seller. Any artist featured in the sex issue either gains a bunch of new fans/groupies/stalkers, or it turns them all of. Last year we had some great freaky stories from Weezy, Ray J, Bishop Lamont, Roccett, and so many more. Julia is defnitely the Queen of the Sex Issue. She has these guys wide open when it comes to talking about their sex life, so this year, she did all the interviews again. Thanks, JB. I just couldnt be the one. I play the sister role when it comes to most West Coast artists. Its a new year. We have a new president. Its time for change, not just as a country but as individuals. So we all need to look inside to see where we can make a change. There are a couple things Id like to see change in 2009. How about these counterfeit cops that stand in front of clubs during events? You might also see them guarding the backstage or standing in front of the stage at your favorite club or concert. These fools take their job way too seriously at the wrong times. Theyre never there when its time to clear the stage or when the funk jumps of, but theyre quick to hassle the wrong people. You see me everywhere. Why are you sweating me? Since Im a female, you assume Im a groupie, but Im just doing my job and keeping it 100. Its cool, though. I always get in. My wiggle game is crazy. I know it seems like everywhere you look, you see these half-dressed girls with a camera trying to wiggle. But where do their photos go? You see them getting drunk and dropping it like its HOT on stage with the groupies, but dont forget I paved the yellow brick road to be a girl photographer out here on the West Coast. To fnally get the respect of great OG West Coast photographers like J Lash and Arnold was lovely, due to the amount of groupies holding cameras today. They are fat out makin a sistas job difcult.

Secondly, lets talk about these stage jumpers. Man, I cannot believe these people. Have you seen them? Of course you have. It doesnt look good from any stand- point and it makes it hard to see the artist, let alone get a dope performance photo of the stage. And then you ask me why you dont have an eNd ZONe photo in OZONe? Well, we cant tell who is on stage - you or the crowd! Sometimes I pull of a shot, but its too much stress to do that all the time. So when you see me walking away, fgure it out! Ive been blessed to see a lot of the new breed of West Coast stars performing as they were coming up, and boy, does it switch. First, nobody wants to be on stage with you. Then you start to get a buzz and everyone that ever met you needs to be on stage. Really, they should be in the front going crazy and getting everyone hype. Instead, theyre on stage standing in front of the star, on their phones (as if they can hear), texting, rolling weed, jumping around. Im so glad to quote the great Too Short, GeT THe FuCK OFF THe STAGe!Short also feels the same way. He calls them male groupies. If you have no purpose - youre not the dJ, you dont have a mic, and you dont dance for the act - you do not belong on the stage. All the greats have great stage shows, and thats not an accident. Smart artists who know that the majority of their income comes from touring have a clean stage show and no one is on the stage without a purpose. They know that people are paying money to see them, not their homeboys. Get it together, people! Change is upon us. dont be afraid.

How did you get started in the porn industry? It was an accident. My frst agent was straight-up stalking me and my cousin in the mall. My cousin was like, What the fuck are you following us for? And he gave us his card and was like, You look so hot. Have you ever thought about getting into the adult business? So, that just kinda hap- pened. I wanted to move [away] from the Bay so I called him, and he told me what the deal was. He was like, Ill pay for your ticket to come out here [to L.A.], Ill put you up in a room, and Ill take you to all these [porn] companies. So, I just took a chance and did it. What was it like when you frst started? What was your frst scene like? It was in a regular house, and I was so nervous. Nothing was going on and I wanted to leave already. But I started drinking, and I did my frst scene so drunk. When you watch the scene, you cant even tell that Im drunk. Im like, Oh my God, I did so good. What other porn stars have you worked with on scene? Ive worked for Vanessa Blue, Ive worked with Lexington Steel, Mr. Marcus. Jada Fire is like, my all-time favorite. Wesley Pipes Wesley Pipes is a funny guy. Did he say any- thing crazy to you during your scene? Oh my goodness, you know hes always talking shit. Hell fuck a bitch and still be talking shit while hes fucking her. Whats the most common misconception that people have about your career and porn? everybody automatically thinks you wanna have sex every minute, every second of every day. But no, I have to live my life too. I cant run errands and fuck at the same time. People just always think you want sex, sex, sex. dont get me wrong, Im a sexaholic. But I dont spend all my days fucking, fucking. I do spend a lot of my time masturbating though. (laughs) When you masturbate do you think about your scenes, or do you watch porn or what? I dont watch porn, but Im always surfng around on the internet, and Im always surfng diferent porn sites. And Im like a tit fanatic, I like girls with like big tits. And Ill come across a girl with great tits and a great page, and Ill look at her the whole time Im masturbating. In my head, shes totally there looking [at me]. (laughs) Do you like guys or girls better? I defnitely like guys better, but I do have an infatuation with girls. Is there anything you wont do on camera? I wont eat ass on camera. Ill lick a girls ass, but I wont lick a guys ass on camera. On camera, I think Ive done it all. Whats your favorite thing to do on camera? I think it looks better when I do anal sex. I think that just looks way better on camera. Cause I get fucked in my ass well. Its fast and its hard, man, its fucking lovely. I cant get fucked in my ass slow, then you can feel every inch of the dick going in and out of my ass. I always tell people, you fuck me fast, and you fuck me hard. Well be able to cum that way, and Ill fuck you back and everything. (laughs) Do you really get of by getting fucked in the ass? Oh, yeah, defnitely. Ill say thats my favorite way. When you cum its intense anyways, but when you cum anally, it feels likeyou know when you get shivers, like a ghost just walked through your body? It feels like that, youre whole body is just tingling. Whats your favorite way to touch yourself? I always tend to break my vibrating toys, so I have to go back to fngers. It just takes me longer to cum when I use my fngers. But when I use a toy, I cum like in three minutes. On camera, do you really orgasm or is it all fake? No, its half and half. Half of it is real and the other half is fake, because behind the scenes theyre telling me, I need you to cum three times. So, I have to fake it, you know. Has there ever been a guy or girl that you refused to work with? I hate to say it, because I just did a scene with this guy, but I didnt want to do it. He paid me money just so he could shoot me. Its Brian Pumper. I dont know, I just dont feel him too much. A lot of people in the business really dont feel him. Hes a cool person, but hes really cocky and conceited. And Max Hardcore, hes been on my no list since I frst got into the business. One of my really good friends did a regular blowjob scene with him and he pissed in her mouth. She was screaming get away, and the whole time hes loving it. And she went to take a shower, cause shes pissed now, shes ready to leave, and he just goes in the bathroom and freaking pisses on her in the shower while hes videotaping. So, I refuse to work with him, he can never book me in life. What goes on behind the scenes at a porno shoot? It depends on the company. Some companies have a big production. Like Playboy, Ive worked for them, and they have like ten people on set. But everybodys doing something, theyre not just standing around watching the scene. everybodys got a job. Some companies its secluded. They might have just the makeup girl, the light guy, and the camera guy, and then the people that are in the scene. And its a lot of stop and go, [so] Im always playing around, goofng around, cracking jokes. Has there ever been anything embarrassing that had to be cut out of the scene while you were flming? I [was] getting work done on my teeth, so Im doing this scene, and its like this fve-guy gang- bang. So, Im doing the scene, and Im sucking like three dicks all at the same time, and go to leave from sucking one dick to go suck another dick, and these guys are rough, so theyre mov- ing my head like, suck my dick, no, suck my dick, and while I switch dicks my retainer totally fies out. It was like a denture retainer, [not] a wire retainer. I was like, Oh my God. I wanted to leave, but we were only halfway done. We havent even gotten to the fucking yet. every- body was like, dont worry about it, its cool, its happens. So, it was cool, but it was really embar- rassing for me. Do you enjoy gangbangs? I havent done that many of them, but I totally love to do them. I love being thrown around. I like a guy to [be like], Come here, bitch, and manhandle me. You have a lot of fans that are rappers. I heard Mistah FAB is infatuated with you? (laughs) Yeah, he totally loves me, and Mac Mall. every time they see me, they let me know that Vanessa Monet: Patiently waiting-Porn By eric Perrin 6 // 0Z0h wS1 0Z0h wS1 // 7 theyre my biggest fan. They love what I do. And its so funny cause I knew them before I started doing porn. I was introduced to them through my ex-dude. So, for them to see me grow and transition its weird but its funny all at the same time. I love Mistah FAB, hes an awesome rapper. If you could do a scene with any rapper, who would it be? If I could do a scene with any rapper, it would be Mac dre, God bless his soul. But it would be Mac dre. Then it would be Rick Ross, and then it would be Jim Jones. (laughs) And I cant forget Plies. Plies[Id] take him down. Rick Ross? Wow. What about Rick Ross would make you want to do a scene with him? I love me a big nigga. I love me a big chunky, fat, thick, big muscle bound, and Im sure hes not all muscle underneath them clothes, but I just love the bigness. Cause Im a tall girl, and Im only getting bigger. I love to feel smallness when Im being with a big guy. I interviewed Roxy Reynolds last year, and she was saying hed be a good porn star be- cause he has a life saver around his mouth. I was like what the fuck is a life saver? She was like you can catch the cum in his beard. I thought that was the nastiest shit ever. (laughs) Thats funny. Finally, how can fans fnd your work? My Myspace is Myspace.com/xxxplaymate. My page is private though, so if youre page is a little weird, youre probably gonna get denied. So, if youre some crazy gangbanger, or some pimp, or some crazy hoe youre probably gonna get denied. But most of the time, if they wanna show love on my page then theyre ap- proved, I totally try to respond to people that show me love. // EVERYBODY AUTOMATICAllY THINkS [PORN STARS] WANNA HAVE SEx EVERY MINUTE, EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY. BUT NO, I HAVE TO lIVE MY lIFE TOO. I CANT RUN ERRANDS AND FUCk AT THE SAME TIME. By eric Perrin 0Z0h wS1 // 7 8 // 0Z0h wS1 You got a lot of attention at the club last night. Do you get approached more by guys or girls? It seems to be everybody. Guys [approach me] because Im a black dude making porn, so thats a given. When women come up to me, that says something. That says that shes a consumer. Shes a consumer because sexuality is a need. Its just like going to buy milk. They need that shit. Porn sells because we need that shit. I cant see it be- ing any other way. What I wanna do with people is make them better at sex, obviously. You seem to be one of the most well-known porn stars, even among mainstream Americans who arent necessarily porn afcionados. Youre kinda like the Snoop Dogg or lil Wayne of the porn industry. How do you think youre able to have that broader appeal? efort. Nothing but efort. You get into some- thing and start in one market and blend into another market out of efort and the desire to be more than what you are. Thats really where it started. I was fuckin, but I hated the way they treated me cause I was fuckin. Some people treated me really bad. It would come down to [the attitude of ], Youre fuckin, and thats all youre doing. Youre a walking dick. Thats what people who never met me would say. I was doing a radio interview with a lady and they were recording it. They sent me the audio later and there was a time when my phone had got disconnected so she didnt know it was still recording, but she was still talking. She said, Oh, hes just a walking dick. I thought, theres a lot of girls out there who wouldnt mind having a walking dick. They know what to do with that muthafucker! Most guys wouldnt mind being just a walking dick. Why is respect so important to you? It doesnt really bother me. I know Ive got more going on than that, but you wouldnt know it til you actually sit down and talk to me. Are you more fascinated with the sex or with the business of the porn industry? The business, defnitely. But I like the sex and I feel like Im pretty good at it. (laughs) Being from the streets and trying to do shit diferently, you learn a lot of things. You learn how corporate [sales] works. You learn about marketing and what territories and quarterly sales mean. They dont tell you that shit if youre a nigga thats [just fuckin]. Thats what Ive been learning. Is there a diference between sex on the job and sex in your personal life? My personal sex life is as interesting as the porno shit. (laughs) And its a hell of a lot more chal- lenging. Its a lot of creativity. There used to be a time when I thought this shit would fuck me up, but sexually I think I still learn things. I try to apply what I know and be open to learn some more. I learn about sex from every person Im with. You do too. everybody you fuck will teach you something. Bad things, good things, things you like, things you dont like, things you wanna be better at, things you wanna do yourself. What are the ingredients of a good porno? Passion, commitment, and thoroughness. See it through, everything, even in porn. If you could do a scene with any female celeb, who would it be and what would be the storyline? Ive got this thing for Regina King. She always seems to have a strong sense of self, and I like that in a woman. [In our porno], Id be a football player trying to renew my contract. Im kinda frustrated cause I cant get respect. Im hangin in there cause the agent I got is so dope. Regina comes over to me and says, Its okay, Marcus. Youre the man. (laughs) looking back in American culture and seeing how much more open society has become sexually, do you think that 30, 40 years from now porn will be mainstream? Nah. The porn industry has a certain element to it thats like, its bad. Its naughty. Its always relegated to the back of the store. I think for that reason alone itll never truly have mainstream appeal. And theres a diference in quality. Porn will never match the quality of mainstream fea- tures. Theres few people in the industry that re- ally have the eye or determination to create the integrity thats needed. It takes time [to create quality] and in porn its all about quick money. Whats your approach to teaching your kids about sex? You know what Ive learned? People dont learn about sex from their parents. Just give it up. Stop disillusioning yourself to think that youre gonna sit there and explain and get your kids to understand about sex as a parent. Its difcult. The things we know about sex [are things] that I guarantee our parents didnt teach us. We kinda learned it on our own. Real shit. I think the best thing to do is inspire them to make better choices. Some chicks get with the wrong dude, and some guys get with the wrong chick. Since youre a pretty recognizable porn star, does it make it harder or easier to hook up with normal women? Girls are horny as fuck and they dont care if youre a porn star or not. You just better be good at it. (laughs) You mentioned in another interview that youve given your wife STDs. How prevalent is that in the porn industry? Its prevalent with people who are just getting into the business and have never had an STd test. They catch a lot of things because normal people are not getting tested, and when they fnally do get tested they probably are positive. Thats why diseases are so prevalent. Sexual diseases are rampant, to be honest with you. Were human beings and we dont listen [to the warnings]. So when I gave it to her, yeah, that was a mistake. That was a strike [against me]. So I just try not to do it again. Do you think its safer to fuck a porn star or a regular person? I would say its safer to fuck a porn star, but Im biased. We get tested monthly. Wasnt there an HIV scare not too long ago? Yeah, darren James. Its unfortunate. When he tested HIV positive it was public [knowledge]. His name and picture was all over the media. Another dude [before that] had faked his test. He was HIV positive and continued to work [in the porn industry] and infected a bunch of people. The media was nowhere around when that happened. How long do you see yourself being in the porn industry? Do you plan on moving behind the scenes or doing diferent things? I hope to do better things. I dont wanna just do porn. Change is good, but growing is even better. Im a diferent person than I was a couple years ago. Ive got a lot more control and give things a lot more thought. Ive got a lot more commitment. And youve got your clothing line coming out too, right? daddy Inc. daddy, daddy, daddy. Thats my clothing line. The goal is to get it in stores, and Ive just realized how possible that is. People were telling me that in the beginning and I was like, Yeah, right. This is just something Im developing as I go, but yeah, just recently the opportunity came to actually put it in stores. Ive gotta tighten up a few things and get my logo trademarked so I can make it ofcial. T-Pain came through your AVN afterparty last night. Are there any other rappers youve be- come cool with? Are you thinking of branching of into Hip Hop? Im not gonna be a rapper. I could probably rap my ass of if I wanted to, but I peep game. I ap- preciate them cause Ive always been a big fan of Hip Hop. Do you get drunk or high to loosen up to do a scene? Never. How do you bring out that passion that you Mr. Marcus Porn star MR.

Mr. Marcus interview & PHoto By Julia Beverly 0Z0h wS1 // 9 you say are some good rap songs to put you in the mood? Well, to put me in the mood its gotta be R&B. But if I had to choose rap, the perfect soundtrack for a porno would be N.W.A all the way. Anything with eazy e in it would ft. One of the best fucks I ever had was listening to Janet Jackson, the last album she did. It was phenomenal. We just turned it on and by the time we were done the Cd was over. I like Ne-Yo, too. Im glad he came along. I love R&B. I grew up listening to Ready For The World and Guy, and catching the tail end of Marvin Gayes career. I was split between total gangsta shit like N.W.A and dJ Quik, all those West Coast artists, and the jheri-curl Ready For The World, New edition R&B side. All in the same package. Thats pretty much who I am; Im both. Do you think the attitude towards porn in the black community is diferent than in the white community? Hell yeah. Blacks in the industry just want respect. They wanna be acknowledged. Its funny because within the industry its kinda like a middle-of-the-road type love. Within the indus- try, racism is prevalent. But outside the business, my direct connect is with other blacks. The support doesnt really come from the white cats. It surprised me at the AVNs that a big burly white dude came up and said, Yo, I love you, man. That shows the reach. The support for black porn and black performers is strong, but we didnt get that support from the industry. It comes from an even better place outside the industry. At the AVNs, the same white guys will win [awards] over and over again. When Lexington Steele won [Performer of the Year] three times in a row, that was rare as fuck. How are the AVN winners selected? The editors of the [AVN] magazine and the flm reviewers select the winners; the people who watch movies all year long. Companies submit their product to be reviewed and they whittle it down. Then, somewhere along the line, politics defnitely plays a part. Thats where the racism comes in. So theres actually people who review porn for a living? Im sure some of our readers would like to apply for that job. A friend of mine has a [business] card that says, Will watch porn for food. (laughs) The guys in the ofce - who came up with half of these interview questions, by the way - have put together a list of your female porn counter- parts so you can rate their skills. need to do the scene? Imagination. Weve all got it and we all use it diferently. The way we dress is imagination and the way you think about somebody is your imagination, so why not use it when youre fuckin them? Do you ever get carried away? Does your imagination run wild in everyday life at the grocery store or something and you just come up with a crazy fantasy? Im having one right now. Im afraid to ask. Right. (laughs) You dont wanna know. Is there a sense of you can never go back to normal life? Do you ever regret getting into the business for that reason? Yeah, Ive realized that within the last year or so. I couldnt just go get a normal job. Things have started to change. People know who I am now, and I have no clue who they are. Literally, Ill be in Buttfuck, egypt, in the desert, and I pull up to the gas station and a dude is like, Arent you.? Its crazy. Well, you could shave the goatee of. Yeah, I already know. Shave the goatee of, take the hat of, put on some glasses, and youre damn right. Mr. Marcus is gone. What goes on behind the scenes of a porn video set? Have you ever seen something go down that shocked you, or are you to the point where nothing could surprise you? Nothin but debauchery. I mean, Im not numb. People say and do the craziest shit. Its all love. I just realize how unique we are by what they do. People have fetishes. I cant tell you how many fetishes niggas have tried to include me in, and I was like, Nah, Im good. Ive got my own [fetishes]. Im solid. I see how they do. Freakaholics! Since OZONE is a rap magazine, what would THERES A lOT OF GIRlS WHO WOUlDNT MIND HAVING A WAlkING DICk. THEY kNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THAT. 0Z0h wS1 // 9 10 // 0Z0h wS1 I dont know if rating female [porn stars] is my thing. You dont want to say anything bad about them and then have to fuck them? Ive done that before. Its a foot-in-my-mouth thing. But its genuine; theyve all got something. If the guys in the OZONe ofce know who they are, theyve done their job already. Its not really about whether I rated them or not. Theyre standouts already, defnitely. Its all about prefer- ence. Some of the girls I wouldnt necessarily make a beeline for [in real life] but if its in a work environment, Im gonna make sure Im con- nected. Im gonna fnd something [about them] to connect with. What porn star would you make a beeline for in real life? I got little fetishes. I like brunettes. I like Sophia Santi. Shes sexy. I like Jenaveve Jolie. A real porn fan will know exactly who they are. Theyre not big [names] so not everybody knows who they are, but theyre so fuckable. They want to [fuck], and that alone is why you make that beeline. Do you ever develop feelings for your co-stars? Sophia Santi. I had feelings for her and still do. A lot of the girls I do. Once I establish a relation- ship its usually on solid ground, so I know I can build on that. In our industry we go right to the sex, and the crazy thing is that most [women] know more about me than I know about them. So I have to develop some kind of connection to build on. So youre learning about each other after- wards. You have sex and then its like, What was your name again? Yeah, its all backwards. So, what does your mom do for a living? Do you have to put in a lot of time at the gym to keep up your physique? I work out a couple times a week. Its a lifestyle. You have to incorporate it into your life, and you do it without thinking. I realize now that I actu- ally feel better after I work out. I feel better about the day and a lot of things. Its easy to see why a guy would want to have sex for a living, but for females, often the as- sumption is that they must have been abused or raped or had something bad happen to make them want to be a porn star or stripper or prostitute. Do you think thats accurate? No. Sometimes its just misguided [ambition]. Theyre lost and they dont know. They come into the business thinking its gonna be one thing, and fnding out something diferent. For some of them its a traveling course. If you looked into the history of [some of them] youd probably fnd abuse, but there are also people who are abused that dont get into the porno business. Maybe this is a gay question, but who are some rappers that you think would make good porn stars? like, if you started your own production company, who would you want to hire? Well, as far as R&B, obviously Ray J. Maybe Too Short. Too Short is a freak. Hed be good. dJ Quik would be pimp too. Tupac defnitely woulda been a great porn star. Those would be some incredible post-humous DVD sales. Right. If the Tupac sex tape emerged right now itd kill the game. (laughs) Oh my God. The internet has obviously hurt the music industry. Do you think its helped or hurt the porn industry more? Its obviously made porn more accessible to the mainstream, but is it hurting DVD sales? Its piracy in music terms, but with porn, there were websites that would rip the scenes and post them up for free so cats didnt have to buy the movies. People like free shit on the internet isnt that a revelation? The way theyre trying to stop it is by encoding it and giving them more value for their money. Something Larry Flynt said at the AVNs is that the quality has to step up. If the movies were quality from beginning to end, theyll be able to make money. larry Flynt and Joe Francis asked for a $5 billion dollar bailout. I think the intent was sar- castic, but what do you think? Does the porn industry need a bailout? Yeah, we can use that fve billion fuckin dollars. We know just what to do with it. The same thing everybody else does spend it on sex. Well have an AIG-style retreat and make it a big party. When you started out, did you think this would become your career? Nah, I didnt think it was a career. They were like, do you wanna come have sex with this girl? Im like, Im on my way. Where do I need to go? (laughs) Before you started getting paid for sex were you secretly taping your exploits? Thats one thing I remember about Justin [Slayer] that caught my attention. Before he entered the business he was making his own private movies. Hed go to swinger parties and just have sex and flm it. Fuck it. I wasnt that way, but I think more people are doing that now. The cameras got smaller and muthafuckers got freakier. I remem- ber my boy, when he frst got his own place, the frst thing he did was set up a camera inside the closet on a tripod with the door cracked just a little. He showed me the whole thing. I thought that was crazy. Did Superhead live up to her name? Was it the best head youve ever had, or is she overrated? Id have to say shes overrated. It was just the way [our scene] was captured. We shot it and it wasnt the complete scene, it was totally busted. But they decided to put it out anyway. She likes to suck dick; she really does. But she does it because shes out to prove something; prove her [reputation]. Thats what happened. Do you think theres a diference between porn stars, strippers, hookers the whole adult genre? And do you have more or less respect for those professions? Porn stars are the best hoes in the world because they like to fuck, they will fuck, and they like to do it for the camera. Theyre into the upkeep; the makeup, the hair, the wardrobe, the whole presentation is to fuck. Since youre married - Thats right, I am. Fuck. I forget sometimes. ...Is your wife allowed to do her thing on the side too or is it one-sided? Its not one-sided. But its not encouraged. (laughs) I dont stop her from doing anything she wants to do. I encourage her to do anything she wants. Thats the rule. You can go wherever you want and stay out however late you want, but dont bring shit home. We have that mutual respect and we have that same respect at the house. When were home, its our home. Have you had any bad sex experiences? A whole bunch of em. One girl had an odor. But you fuck her anyways, cause the odor goes away eventually. (laughs) That happened pretty early on [in my career] and it was for a movie. Thats when I knew it was all about the upkeep. Weve seen women like Paris Hilton and kim kardashian become famous just because they had a sex tape. Do you think the obsession is the fact that its more authentic than a staged porno? I think its just part of the fantasy. [Men] already have the fantasy and now its completed. The dick and the pussy. Its all about the dick and the pussy. (laughs) Do you have any advice for amateur celebrity porn stars and how they can make their next tape bigger and better? To be real with you, I thought Ray J did a pretty good job. He didnt have nobody but him flm- ing. Ive been there, done that. Kim was just. there. Thats a great fuck though. I know its a great fuck cause you just fuck away, and she looks good. Yeah, man. I was rooting for him. So women really dont have to do anything for it to be a great fuck. Yeah. You know that. Most women are just happy to get a [guy with a] hard-on that lasts longer than fve minutes who puts in work. Its funny when I fuck a girl and she fucks me back. I feel like thats the way she was trained; somebody taught her that. Move your hips, fuck me back, throw it on me, go hard, swallow it, all that talk and all that encouragement sticks with you through your partners. So, how are you sexually? Whats your thing? Trying to fip the interview on me, huh? do you like sex? Of course. Who doesnt? Alright. How do you like your sex? Wouldnt you like to know. Yeah, I would. You remind me of someone I know thats very sexual. What makes you wanna fuck somebody? Mental foreplay. Right, the verbal sparring. (laughs) // I DIDNT THINk PORN WOUlD BECOME MY CAREER.

JuIce interview By Julia Beverly PHoto By daveed 0Z0h wS1 // 17 So youre signed to Games label, right? Yeah, Im signed with The Game, but Im also signed with Amare Stoudemire too. He has a label called HYP. So Im signed to HYP/Black Wall Street. I was introduced to the industry by The Game. Game wanted to end up retiring and he was looking for a young dude that had the same qualities as he did. He heard my fow and thought I was nice, so he put me on. He taught me the ropes, taught me how to create a nice classic album, took me around the globe and stamped me as that next premiere artist. Are you originally from Phoenix? I was born in Philly but raised in Phoenix. I think its good to be an artist who can get respect on both Coasts. I go out to the east Coast and niggas fuck with me, and of course Ive been living on the West Coast so niggas fuck with me out here too. So it works in my favor. Nobodys really put Phoenix on the Hip Hop map yet but it seems like theres a lot of upcoming talent there. I think honestly Phoenix is going to be the next big market just like Houston, Atlanta, Miami, or New York. A lot has been hap- pening here, like the Super Bowl and All Star week- end, and youve got artists like myself and others who are carving out their own lane. Once people hear what Im bring- ing to the table along with other people, I think theyll start aligning us with some of the other cities that are musically inclined. Musically, do you think Phoenix fts more into the West Coast sound? To me, Phoenix is at the forefront. We dont have a West Coast sound, weve kinda created our own lane. Youve got niggas from so many diferent places that live in Arizona and are starting to create a new sound that the industry is checking for. Do you think that being afliated with Game, whos been notoriously involved in beef with several artists, will stunt your growth as a new artist because you kind of inherit those beefs? I knew what I was getting into before I even started riding with Game. ultimately I dont think its going to stunt my growth because at the end of the night Im my own man. One thing I can say about Game is that hes given me the opportunity to learn from his successes and his mistakes, and thats why he put me in the posi- tion where I dont have to beef with all these niggas. As long as I ride for Black Wall Street and become a successful artist, Im good. So hes not expecting you to fght his battles like 50 expected him to fght G-Units battles? Nah, nah. Game has learned a lot from the G- unit beef. I think if he could turn the tables back, him and 50 and the other niggas would try to sit down and take it another direction. [The beef ] not only afected Games career but G-unit as well. So, no. He wants me to get into the business and sell a lot of records and become a premiere artist. Fuck them other niggas. Lets get it to the West and get it poppin. Have you been focusing on mixtapes to get your name out there? I have a mixtape coming out during All Star weekend called the Position of Power. Right now Im doing a lot of collaborations but at the same time Ive been highly focused on my album thats coming out late spring or early summer. Its called the Anticipated. I believe it takes a lot of time and craftsmanship to put together and execute a proper album. A lot of [artists] just take shit and throw it together. For me, Im trying to align my shit with the Documentary, illmatic, and Chronic, and things like that take time and patience. Grooming myself is really all that Im doing right now before I really release my project. Do you think putting out so much mixtape material will help you sell more or less al- bums? Theres been some controversy about that, but then theres always exceptions like lil Wayne, who bombarded the streets with so much music that it actually helped him sell a million records his frst week. Ive got mixed emotions about the mixtape. I totally dont believe that you can oversaturate yourself, but the way that music is right now, I think you do have to keep music out there or at least viral footage to keep your face out there. But I think mixtapes can hurt you if you dont continue to elevate your game. As a prime ex- ample, I thought Waynes album was poppin but Wayne dominated the mixtape game so much that people took away from his album because he had so much heat out there on the mixtape. I think you have to play it by ear, depending on what type of artist you are. If you can consis- tently grow and mature in your music and you have that drive and work ethic to consistently drop mixtapes and still take the time to make a classic album, do that. But if you dont have that type of ability and youre wasting all your good music on mixtapes, by the time your album drops people are gonna be disappointed. Every artist claims that they have something for everybody on their album. If you had to categorize it, or walk us through a couple tracks on your upcoming album, what would it be? everybody automatically assumes that since I was branded by Game, Im coming with that hardcore N.W.A. West Coast Blood mentality, but at the end of the night Im on some real-life mentality. When you listen to my album you should be able to close your eyes and visualize it. Im kicking real-life music stuf thats relative to whats going on in todays society, in the life of a young man thats trying to be successful and be an entrepreneur. We came from nothing to something. So Im really taking my listener through a walk in my life; where I came from and where Im bout to go. Give us a few examples. What are some real- life situations youre speaking on? I got a record called The Anticipated which is basically the intro, produced by Street Runner. On the West Coast people say Im the most anticipated West Coast artist since Game, and people believe Im gonna have the most anticipated album since the Documentary. But Im trying to create my own shoes. Im not trying to walk in The Games light. Im not a Memphis Bleek type of artist, ya dig? I know Jay-Z kinda groomed Bleek but he never had that ability to step out on his own and shine like that. I want to show that Im diferent. Game is a successful artist but Im not him. Im trying to show you how I ball and how I do it and bring you to my state. Then Ive got a record called Walk With Me. I feel that a lot of artist go through things in life and you need a higher source to stay by your side. everybody that comes from poverty and humble beginnings goes through trials and tribulations, especially with this recession shit. Sometimes you need a higher faith to stay in your corner. No matter what I go through day to day, God is walking with me. Theres an- other one called do Right By Me produced by drumma Boy, which is kinda the same scenario. You cant make anybody else happy or take care of anybody else in life until you take care of yourself and set your own foundation. You cant get a little bit of bread and bring a whole bunch of niggas on board until your foundation is set for yourself. Im touching on a lot of real topics that young men or women who are trying to be successful are dealing with. Were just day to day niggas trying to win. Being on the road with Game, what are some other things youve learned about the daily hustle of the music business? It takes a lot of consistency. Youve gotta get up early and go to bed late. everybodys gonna try to knock your hustle but you cant let nobody stop the ball. Business dont stop for nobody so you shouldnt stop either. Second, prepare yourself as an artist. Game really prepares himself for his albums; he zones out and gets in with the producers and takes his music to a whole nother level. Hell sit back and listen to a track 30 times to make sure its arranged the right way and the album fows right. Just mak- ing sure the right person is on the record and not just a nigga being on the record because its his man or it was a cheap collabo. One thing about Game is that he will not take shortcuts on his album or his career, and thats one thing Ive learned and totally respect from him. Being signed to Amare Stoudemires label, Ive gotta say, even though its a good look it seems so clich for a basketball player to start a record label now. How is your situation diferent from all the others that have tried and failed? Well, people always compare it to the Ron Artest situation when he was trying to rap. Basically, Amare came to me with a good solid business deal. At the end of the night everybodys just trying to create their own lane. He asked me if I wanted to be partners with him on a record label. We sat down and talked numbers and fgures and we also talked about really staying in each others lane. Hes a basketball player but hes an intelligent businessman as well. Hes not gonna try to jump on my shit and start rapping and Im not gonna lace up my kicks and be going out there [on the court] trying to keep up with him. We tried to fnd the right people who know how to win in their lane to make this label go the right way. We just hired Jason Geter from Grand Hustle as our consultant to help us or- chestrate the moment properly. He understands the role hes in and I do too, so were just gonna make it happen. Were gonna win. Have you picked a single yet? Ive got two on deck. One is Crush My Crew featuring Bun B and Im trying to get the clear- ance to get T.I. on it. The other one is called 0Z0h wS1 // 17 18 // 0Z0h wS1 Breath On Me featuring LeToya Luckett. Right now Im just trying to balance between those two. The second part of this interview is for the sex issue. Oh, Im with that. Whats your status right now? Are you a single man out on the road having fun or do you have a lady at home? Right now Im single. Im looking for one right now but it takes a strong woman to really deal with the type of profession Im in as a recording artist, yknow what I mean? So Im single. Are there any celebrity females youd want to holla at? Real talk, I gotta say my girl Cassie. I just like her swag. She was real cool. Ive seen her around a couple times and she said I was fy, so I took that for what it is. You might get Pufy pissed of at you. Yknow, Pufys gotta deal with that. Id also say Lauren London, and Ciara. Shes gotta come holla at the boy, straight up. Ciara, come holla at the new breath of the West Coast, baby. I got it. Do you have a favorite porn star or is that not really your thing? Not really. Porn doesnt really turn my knobs like that. I mean, its solid but I m not really on I tlike that. Whats her name, Lola? That chick is a monster, straight up. What kind of car gets you the most action with females? Ive got a Range [Rover] so that does pretty good, but I really like the Bentley GTs and shit like that. Youve got a whole other feeling about yourself when you pull up in something like that. Who do you think is the gay rapper? Shit, hopefully it aint 50. (laughs) Ya dig? Have you ever paid for sex? Nah, nah. Real talk, Im too handsome for that. Theres two things in life I wont pay for: sex and water. No Vitamin Water either, huh? Nah, nah. Cant do it. Im good in that depart- ment. If a female called in to our Groupie Confessions hotline about you, what would she say? If a groupie called in about me, shed be like, Thats that nigga. Bottom line. Walk me through a night with Juice. Are you having a security guard pull females out of the crowd after the show or do you like the aggres- sive females that come at you, or whats your approach? Nah, nah. Im a realist, so all that fake pretend shit is not me. If youre rolling with J-u were gonna hit the city and do what we do. Were gonna have some drinks, a lil cosmo or two. I do Hennessy straight. Well have cool conversation for a minute; were both grown. And if were into the moment, were into the moment. If not, it is what it is. But Ive never had a complaint from a woman thats been out with Juice. Whats the best line a groupie has approached you with? Matter of fact, a chick told me straight up, I wanna fuck your dad, because he made you so perfect. How real is that? Did she get the opportunity to fuck your dad? Nah, nah. She fucked me though. (laughs) But I didnt bring her home to meet my dad. Have you had any bad sex experiences? Not really. Well, one time a chick was so shy she broke down crying. I was like, Whats wrong with you? She was like, Im so nervous. Im so shy. I cant believe Im here. Cmon, you gotta miss me with all that bullshit. Were tryin to get it poppin and youre over here starstruck? Save that shit for the ride home, baby. Thats about it, though. Have you had sex in any interesting locations? Yeah, up in the air, on the plane of course. I was in the very, very back of the plane. I was on my way back from L.A. on a red-eye and me and this chick were choppin it up. One thing led to another and she sat on my lap, and it was a wrap. So on the plane, at the movies, and at the hospital where my baby moms worked. I had to give it to her at her job. Shes a nurse practitioner so theyve got their own little rooms. I was feel- ing myself one night and went up to the job and made her do what it do. Whats the diference between groupie sex and baby mama sex? Groupie sex is what it is. Its spur of the moment and theres no emotions involved. You arent tryin to wine and dine them or have sex games or love potions or none of that. When youre with your signifcant other, you really take your time and nurture the pussy and show the real sensual side of yourself that every woman cant see. Only the special ones see that. Whats some music that you would put on dur- ing sex to set the mood? Im always killing the ushers Confessions album. Im always on that donnell Jones Where I Wanna Be. And you can never go wrong with R Kelly. Those would be the top three. If you met a female like Superhead, would that turn you on or of to fuck with a girl if you knew she was gonna eventually write a book about you or put your business out in public? Im more low key and reserved. If you already know what type of chick she is, youre setting yourself up. Im about to start following what Nas was doing. I heard that when Nas was smashing chicks before [he got married] he was making them sign confdentiality agreements, ya dig? I think Ive gotta follow that. That might kill the mood a bit, dont you think? If its a groupie situation, it aint like youre making love. She already knows what it is. Nowadays youve got people writing books, doing movies, sex tapes, snitching on everything. Have you ever been pussy-whipped? I gotta admit, one time. My sons mom. Shes the only one that had that type of impact on me. Have you ever used ecstasy or weed or any other type of drug to enhance your sexual experience? Nah, Im good. Ive got control. But I am a Hennessy drinker. If you give me a couple shots I might get extra aggressive. Would you rather get head or have sex? Head, cause she cant get pregnant through her mouth. Whats the diference between diferent races of women in bed, and do you have a prefer- ence? Ive been around the world twice and had my fair share of women. I cant classify them because of race, but I can classify them based of where theyre from. A woman from Atlanta would be in a whole diferent mindstate than a woman from Phoenix or a woman from New York. I like them all: black, white, Puerto Rican, Haitian, Asian, whatever. If theyre on point, Im with it. Ive had a couple white chicks but I really couldnt beat it up like I wanted to. Some of the black chicks, I can go hard and do what I gotta do. Asians, same situation as the white women. They like it all soft and tender. How does the mindstate of a woman in Atlanta difer from one in New York or Phoenix? Ill take it to another level and tell you about diferent countries. Women in europe are more sexual. Theyve got nude beaches and sex is a part of their day-to-day regimen. In America women are more covered up. Have you ever videotaped yourself having sex? Nah, I cant be on TV like that. I cant do that at all. Thats not my lane. Anything else you want to say? The mixtape the Position of Power is coming out February 17th, All Star weekend. Were gonna do it big in my city. Were poppin every bottle in the state of Arizona.

I been having hoes since like [the year] 2000, but I dont consider myself a pimp. Im a hustler, Im not a pimp. Its pimping, its in the game, its hav- ing hoes and shit, but Im not a pimp. A pimp is a nigga that has a hoe, but if he loses that hoe, hes gotta knock another hoe to survive. I dont have to knock no bitch to survive. Im a man of many trades. I have many hustles. How do you knock a hoe? Me, I aint never had to recruit a hoe. Hoes done chose up on a nigga. I aint never have to sweat no bitch and be all in her ear like that. A bitch sees a fy nigga with something whos doing his thing. A bitch gets tired of living underneath the earth; she wants to fy through the sky and see the stars so shes gonna come fuck with a real nigga. I aint never had to recruit a bitch, but I have had hoes that recruited other bitches. I like my hoes to knock hoes. I dont have to get out there and do no footwork. Whats the beneft for them? What can you ofer a woman that would make her give up her freedom and choose you? I got a lot to ofer. First of all, Im a good nigga. I know what a female likes. To understand the game you gotta know what bitches like. These bitches wanna be taken care of. A bitch doesnt wanna be out there puttin her life on the line if a nigga aint doing shit for her. Being in the game, these bitches know they have to be up under somebody cause its hella gorilla pimps out there. The game is shady. Its muthafuckas that be kidnappin these hoes, beatin these hoes up, holdin these hoes for ransom, all types of shit. But I got a lot to ofer a bitch. Look at me, I live in a nine bedroom mansion, Im driving Maseratis, Corvettes, Range Rovers, anything I wanna drive. Bitches see that lifestyle and want it. Like I tell a bitch, To make a million dollars you gotta look like a million dollars. When they get out there on these tricks you cant have no raggedy lookin bitches. You want your bitch to be lookin top notch. I aint never had to beat up my hoes or none of that shit cause my bitches are supposed to be out there lookin good. If I gotta beat her I sho dont need her. Some of these bitches need to get the shit slapped out of em, but me being me, Id rather fre these hoes. Having a bitch is too easy for me. Its nothing. So how are they disciplined if they disrespect you? I mean, Ima check a bitch. Ill snatch a bitch up or something but Im not gonna beat the bitch up. If I feel the bitch is really a problem, Ima fre the bitch. The thing is, bitches dont even disrespect me like that. If youre a solid nigga, your bitch aint gonna disrespect you. Your bitch knows how to stay in pocket and hold it down. But if youre a punk-ass nigga, these bitches are gon smell that shit and try to run over you. Theyre gonna smell that you a softy so theyre gonna do whatever they can to get over on you. But I dont have to go through those problems. You said you have a number of diferent hustles. From a fnancial perspective, is the pimp game better or worse than your other hustles? What is your typical income? Hoe money is good money. I live in Vegas. My hoes got regulars. I dont have my hoes out there walkin the carpet or walkin the hoe stroll. They done knocked a millionaire muthafucka and hes like a sugar daddy to them and wants to take care of em. They still get out there, hit the clubs, and do what they gotta do. But hoe money, thats some real good money. They can get $20,000 or $30,000 at a time from these muthafuckas. It aint like the rap game. The rap game is going under and sales are going under. You gotta keep your hustle. I got a million difer- ent hustles. Ive even got a barber license. I can cut hair but aint nothing like hoe money cause they get it every day. With this music business, I gotta wait for a check every three months. Ill get paid $100,000 or something but I gotta wait three months. every day these bitches are getting $5,000 or $10,000. You know, youve got your slow days, though. The most a hoe ever gave me was $120,000. I couldnt even believe it, I thought I was dreaming. Ive had hoes choose up with like $10,000. I wont accept anything less than $10,000, but this bitch chose me with $120,000. That was something big to me. Hoe money is the best money to me cause it keeps coming. Its like legal dope. Sex sells. Whats the typical background of a female that chooses to be a hoe? Why go that route? Half of these bitches have never felt loved in their life. They aint have no family, or they were fucking niggas for free so they might as well get paid for the shit. If youre just a slut, running around fucking niggas, why not get paid for it? Youre doing the same thing, but now youre beneftting from it. Some of these bitches chose to be that way. Some of them come from rich families, but they wanna get out there and make that money. Some of these bitches are addicted to doing it. I got this one hoe right now, she dont give a shit, every day she wanna hit the track. The track is so old-school to me, but shes just such a down bitch she always wants to go to the track. She came from a good family in Portland, but shes just so used to going out there and gettin it. She cant quit. She just likes the hustle of it. Shes like, damn daddy, I gotta go get some money. Shell make $5,000 and Im like, Okay, its cool, come in for the night. Shes like, uh uh, fuck that, Im fnna go make some money. I take my bitches to do nice shit but they constantly wanna go get it so I aint gonna tell em no. [They just want me to] be there for em if they go to jail or anything happens. Thats how a lot of these niggas lose bitches, cause they go to jail and these niggas dont bail em out. Its a lot of shit [other pimps] dont do that they sup- posed to be doing. You referred it legal dope, but technically, prostitution is illegal. Are the laws in las Vegas more accepting than the rest of the country? No, they dont play. They do these sweeps called P.I.M.P. where they arrested 300 or 400 hoes a night. They be crackin down on that shit. People think [prostitution] is legal in Vegas. Hell nah, that shit is not legal. Its legal on the outskirts of Vegas, but prostitution is not legal in Vegas. You know [most] bitches are hoes because of the way theyre dressed, so I stepped my game up. Ive got my bitches lookin like tourists. They look like party girls, like, Hey, were in Las Vegas, lets go party. Lets hit a club. I dont have my hoes at the bar tryin to knock a trick. Thats so old now. Hopefully whoevers reading this is gonna learn. Im giving them the game. I aint no greedy muthafucka. Start putting these bitches in the VIP at the clubs and knocking these millionaires. On a typical night in Vegas, what percentage of females that you see out are working? Oh my God, shit, at least 90-95% of them bitches are out there working. Whos paying for all this? Whats the typical demographic of a trick? Your hoes arent supposed to talk to no niggas. Nobody black, period. Niggas arent trying to pay no bitches. Cmon, man. Niggas are trying to knock bitches. Niggas are trying to pimp these hoes, not pay a bitch. dont get me wrong, though, there are some trick-ass niggas out there. Some niggas act like theyre pimps but theyre tricking on the low. But my bitches know they arent even supposed to look at a nigga. Keep it moving. If youre with me and were shop- ping or whatever and Im talking to a nigga, my bitches know to keep it moving anyway. Go look for something in a store. But the typical [tricks] are white, Indian, or Chinese. The muthafuckas that [are] out there drunk and partying, sitting at the crap table spending hella money. Do your hoes live with you? Nah, none of them live with me. Ive got three hoes right now two of em stay together and one stays in her own place. I cant have hoes living in my mansion. But theyve got nice places though. Theyve all got nice cars one of em has a Jaguar and two of em have Mercedes [Benzes]. Thats all from me doing my job, making sure theyre riding nice and looking good. I aint got time to be driving these hoes here and there so I get em their own shit. They make good money. If you wanna keep a good bitch you gotta take care of them hoes or they will choose up very fast. Do you have sex with them also or is it strictly a professional thing? Two bitches I got, I aint never slept with. One of em I have slept with, but before I slept with her she wasnt out there [hoeing] like that. I try to keep my dick out [of ] these bitches. Its diseases and shit going around out there. The thing this, a bitch aint meant to be kept. These bitches dont belong to me, they belong to the game. Thats what a lot of niggas dont know. [Since] Im not fucking these hoes, I know one day theyre gon be gone, cause they want some loving and some dick. But me being me, I really cant do it like that. If you dont have sex with your hoes, what kind of women do you have sex with? Ima sleep with a real lady. These hoes cant be my bitch like that. I want a real lady. Theres nothing like having a solid lady who under- stands what you have going on, whos really there to have your back. I aint trying to wife these bitches. I want a real lady who aint in the game so I can fuck her hella good, bust a nut all in her mouth and in her pussy, and do whatever I wanna do. Like I say, its shit going around and these niggas be raw-doggin the shit outta these hoes. I know. These bitches are sleeping with hella diferent muthafuckas and sucking hella diferent muthafuckas dicks. It aint just about AIdS, its all types of shit you can get. You can wear a rubber and still get something from these bitches. You can get crabs, anything. Youll be 20 // 0Z0h wS1 0Z0h wS1 // 21 0Z0h wS1 // 21 female thats bringing in $120,000? You gotta have a pretty bitch fa sho. The way she looks and carries herself of top. Just like niggas be on bad bitches, tricks are the same way. Niggas see Kim Kardashian and be on her, but its hoes out there that look way better than she does. Theres real hoes walking around here mak- ing that hoe look like shes an average piece of shit. Niggas see bad bitches and they be on em. Do you think the game is degrading towards women, or do you feel like they chose to be in that lifestyle? I dont feel like its disrespectful women because they chose to do whatever they did. Nobody put a gun to their head. A lot of these bitches act like theyre not happy with certain dudes they fuck with, but if you wanted to you could get away from that muthafucka. It aint hard. You aint around that muthafucka 24 hours a day so if you aint happy you can go. Thats what you choose to do. Thats part of the game. If you choose to [be a hoe] you gotta accept whatever comes with it. I dont think its disrespectful to women, unless you kidnapped the bitch and threatened her. I tell my bitches, before any of this shit, you a lady. Youre a woman so Ima respect you like that. This is just a hustle. Its not a job for me. I dont wake up, puttin on a pimp suit, walkin around knocking. Im a hood nigga, so youre gonna see me in some Timbs, jeans, white tee, and a ftted cap. What is your ultimate goal as far as rap is concerned? My ultimate goal is to be a young billionaire. If I dont make it with rapping like I should, Im hap- py with the little bit I got. Pimping is just a hustle to me. I dont want to be like that my whole life. Im just a young street nigga. To what extent do you have to provide protec- tion for your females? You cant always be around the hoes like that. There was one nigga that sweated my hoe too tough and put his hands on her and I had to go check him, but he didnt know it was my hoe. A hoe cant say, I fuck with AP9. Shes outta pocket right there, as soon as she opens her mouth. So Ive had to check a nigga before, but once a nigga fnds out thats my bitch, hell leave her alone. Im a factor. I aint a regular-ass nigga, so niggas respect me. Im just a real nigga. My street credibility and background is real tough. Im solid all the way. When it comes to sex, whats the diferences youve observed between diferent races of females? Crazy white bitches love sucking dick. I had this one bitch thats all she ever wanted to do was suck my dick. It was like a whole month and I aint even get the pussy. I was gettin scared like, what the fuck? This bitch aint giving me no pussy. This bitch aint wanna do nothing but suck a nigga and swallow me. All types of races of bitches are freaky in some certain way. Me, I go for that exotic shit. I like exotic bitche,s man. I never really had no blonde chicks. I had hoes like that, but I aint never had just a blonde chick. I love my sisters, dont get it wrong, I love that thick shit. I like ass, Im not a titty dude. Who brings in the most money? I got this one white bitch who gets some good money, man. I mean, thats all Ive got is white bitches, so they all bring in good money. This one had been in the game and when I knocked her she had regular tricks already. Theyre fyin her to Cancun and she went to Brazil and the Bahamas with them. So she brings home good money. every bitch brings good money home, but that one, she really goes and gets it. On another note, should we be expecting any new music from you? Were doing another Mob Figaz album but were waiting for Hus to come home in 2010. everybodys doing their little solo thangs. Ive got a new album called i Am Legend thatll be out in February. Its almost done. Ive got my own label, Mob Shop entertainment. Im running my own label, young entrepreneur, getting this in- dependent money right now. Im paying myself, writing my own checks. How would you describe your sound? Im just a hood nigga. Im from the Bay Area so a lot of people think Im on that hyphy shit. But Im not with that bullshit. Im a reality rapper. Im on some hood shit. Im on some busting-a- nigga-head-open shit, gettin-money type shit. One of my favorite rappers is Young Jeezy. Jeezy keeps it so fuckin hood, I love it. Thats the type of rapper I am. I like that type of shit. I just gotta be me. I was a hyphy muthafucka. Man, I dont ghostride my whips. My shit cost a hundred and some thousand, I aint fnna jump on my hood. How can people get in touch with you? Myspace.com/AP9 or ap9mobshop@yahoo.com. If theres some hoes reading this and theyre ready to choose up, hit me up. Im ready. // wondering why you got a rash around your dick. But the bitches Ive got, honest to God, half of the time they dont even sleep with the [tricks]. These muthafuckas just wanna be around em, they escort these bitches around and look good. Some of my bitches are like, I didnt even do nothing, I just gave him a hand job, or, He just took me shopping. It aint always fucking. If you lace a bitch right and shes got a mouthpiece, she aint gotta be out there fucking all the time. She can use her mouthpiece and get thousands of top.

Imagine the nastiest, most perverse nightmare your mind can conjure, and then double it, and thats the world of the dominatrix. In the realm of BdSM (bondage, dominance, sadomasoch- ism) men from coast to coast hire dominating mistresses to satisfy the desires their wives wont, or simply cant. Howd you get into the dominatrix profession? Im a very dominate person, and if you watch porn a lot youre gonna see something that sparks your interest. I saw some dominatrix scenes and I said to myself, I can do that. Thats something thats an extension of me. At frst it was a hobby, and then I found out I could get paid for doing it. But this profession is not some- thing that is for everybody. You do have to have a level of intelligence. You dont just show up, lay back, and cock your legs open to get fucked. Thats not what this is. Ive met a lot of girls who think they want to do this, but I can already tell its not for them. Theyre gonna giggle, not be severe enough, or not have enough control, so the slave is not going to respect them. The way I do it, its nonsexual. I dont do this as a secret. Its not on the low or anything, this is a part of who I am. How do you fnd customers? Im really big on networking. A lot of mistresses out here in the Bay are diferent than me. Their bitch persona is more than just a persona. Some of them really are bitches, and Im a really friendly person so how I started was networking with other mistresses. I found that some people were willing to talk to me and some just shut me down right at the gate. But I promoted myself. When you frst started were you nervous, or were you a pro from the start? (laughs) Im good at it. Mistress Agave is a bitch. Its just a natural thing for me. Im very ferce. I demand the respect of my clients or whoever Im playing with. This is a business thats about respect, and what I have to do is respect what- ever their fetish is. If thats what you desire, thats what Im going to give you. What kind of fetishes do your customers have? As a pro, Im in this for the one hour sessions, meaning that my time is their money, so they are going to make sure that the scenario is very well laid out. What a typical scenario involves is strap- on play, humiliation, face slapping, spitting, cage punishment, fogging, stepping on peoples nuts, cock-n-ball torturetheres a lot of words I can throw out, but what people generally want is for me to be in control and for me to give the orders. What is fogging? Sounds violent. That basically means spanking somebody. You can call it torture or pleasure, but there are a lot of diferent instruments I might incorporate into my theme that also impart a diferent level of pain. When Im [dominating someone ] in a dungeon I know what is going to happen in the amount of time I give you. Some people want to get treated like a dog for the whole time. They want me to lead them around with a collar on and they wanna be taught how to piss. Other people want strap-on play, they want to be punished, and thats their thing. Sometimes I may just put them on a St. Andrews cross and just whoop them for an hour. Is there any request from a customer that you just say hell, no! to? I would not do things that can seriously hurt somebody, or that Im not skilled enough to do. Some mistresses do all kinds of things with blood. Some put Saran Wrap over your head and poke out a little hole for you to breathe. I dont do anything that could potentially kill someone. If I was a new customer, how would the session start of? A typical session generally starts of with a little bit of small talk; you want to make sure you establish a certain level of respect. Basic ques- tions like How was your weekend? After we get comfortable in that sense Ill switch it up, and immediately Ill tell you to get naked, get on all fours, or whatever I may choose to make you do. Ill demand that you kiss my feet. Okay, I like feet. That doesnt sound too bad. Theres a lot of people that like to lay and foot worship, so if thats your thing well start out with that. I dont do anything fully nude. The gear that I wear is for what people like to see and what they want to have, but Im never fully nude. Some people want ass worship, some people want to be smothered; they want me to sit on their face until they cant breathe, and clearly what follows is strap-on play. I get a lot of good feedback on my strap-on game, and I dont have a problem with that. I will say that all my stuf is clean. I use condoms on all my equipment, and I use a lot of latex gloves as well. But what they really like is a lot of humiliation and degradation. Ill slap you in the face, call you a little bitch, and tell you that you have no rights. I choose to make you wear a skirt, youre gonna wear a skirt. If youre gonna be my whore while Im fucking you then thats what youre gonna be. Then the fnal thing is going to be the golden shower. Please tell me you dont piss on them on your living room foor? (laughs) No, it depends on what dungeon Im playing in. Sometimes Ill do the golden shower in the tub; sometimes Ill do a cage scene where I lock them up in a cage and Ill piss on the top of the cage, so they have no control over that. Sometimes Ill piss in a dogbowl and make you drink it. Whats the nastiest thing youve ever done to one of your clients? One of the things I really like to do to a client is get him a baby bottle full of piss and throughout the next day have him send me video of him drinking from the bottle while hes at work in the bathroom stall. I enjoy that shit. I like coming up with humiliating scenarios for my clients. I have one client who I use an electric anal plug on and I zap him if he gets out of handthats fun. Do you get sexual pleasure out of dominating and torturing clients or is it just for the money? I wouldnt say that I get pleasure out of it, but I will say that its fun. Im really picky about who I deal with. If anybody shows up for a scene un- clean or irresponsibly drunk or high I wont play. What does the dungeon look like? Is it like a scene from a black and white horror movie where water is dripping and its dark and gloomy? Not, its not corny like that. But theres gonna be a lot of equipment. There will be cages and a saw-horse you can strap somebody to. Theres always some type of a cross, racks and racks of dildos and strap-ons, foggers, diferent canes, condoms, lube, and sanitary stuf. There might be a steel bed you can chain someone to. Ive been to some dungeons where there are so many diferent types of equipment you have to just fgure out what it is. I envision your average client as a skinny, nerdy type dude. Is that accurate at all? (laughs) I hate to generalize, because one of the things that really appeals to me about being a dominatrix is that its about acceptance, not judging. Its a lifestyle that lends itself to the theme of be who you are. The average client tends to be an older, white male, but not always. What does an hour-long session with Mistress Agave cost? Well, I dont speak in terms of cost. Its consid- ered a tribute or donation. Thats how I refer to it. So if you wanna play in a dungeon, you send a deposit by Paypal, which guarantees youre actually gonna show up. The tribute would be around $150 - $175 for an hour. I imagine its pretty proftable then. How long have you been dominating people? A little over a year, seriously. I have day job, a pretty demanding, corporate day job as well. This functions as a hobby and a hustle for me. There are times when I consider devoting myself to this full-time, but for right now its just a hustle. Are you very dominant in your real life relation- ships, or is Mistress Agave just a character? Im pretty dominate in real life. I think I have the short-person complex, because Im only 52, 120. But Im defnitely more than a handful. Im a piece of work. Do guys reach orgasm from this? It all depends. Some of my clients are into or- gasm denial, which means I wont let them cum. Sometimes Ill force them to cum on the foor and lick it up, or Ill force them to cum in their own hand and lick it up. There are diferent de- vices you can use that will literally deny them the ability to cum, and some people are into that. // Words by Eric Perrin 0Z0h wS1 // 23 24 // 0Z0h wS1 IF YOuVe eVeR VISITed 93.5 KdAY THe BeAT FM dJ ANd PeRSONAL- ITY DEVI DEVS MYSPACe PAGe (WWW.MYSPACe.COM/deVIdeV), CHANCeS ARe YOuVe GONe BACK AGAIN TO LOOK SOMe MORe.

I guess I wouldnt know since Im not on the east, but I understand why they say that. Here, its always warm and sunny. You always feel like loving somebody; getting up close to somebody on the West. On the east its always cold and you have to wear all those clothes and jackets, so you dont feel like getting up on anybody. California is almost synonymous with sex, so you would know, wouldnt you? No, not me. Im not with meaningless casual sex. A lot of people get real buck wild out here though. especially with the porno industry be- ing in the valley so youre always running into someone like Lexington Steele or Brian Pumper. The girls go crazy for them. Do you have a favorite porn star? Hell no. I think male porn stars are so cheesy. It turns me of. I like a guy who has discretion. Im more prone to wanna deal with a dude who is discreet about his life and doesnt have to be overtly sexual all the time. I dont want a dude that every chick can see his techniques and maneuvers. I dont like dudes who are all out there like that. So what have you said when one of them tries to holler? Ha, howd you know? I have gotten that before since I live out here and run into people who are in that industry. But Im like, No, you get enough [sex] at your job. I have no desire to talk to you. Do you watch porn at all? Yeah, were all grown. Ive seen a few. Theres nothing wrong with it, if youre in a relationship and thats how you get down. Have you picked up any tips from them? Nah, Im cool with the way I work. (laughs) Youre pretty easy on the eyes. Is being attrac- tive helping or hurting your career? Its a fne line you have to walk, if youre a woman who actually wants to have longevity. Im not talking about video models, but if youre trying to be in radio or be dJ, its a fne line to walk. I dont want to be gawked at or have people look- ing at me or treat me better because I look good. I have a lot of skills to bring to the table. So, its a plus that people fnd me attractive but it wont make or break me. So youve never used anything you have to your advantage? A low cut blouse, a short skirt? No, Im too grown for that. My work ethic speaks for itself. Ive had to let go of a few of my interns for doing that though. Id bring them on to help me, but theyll start firting with artists or getting extra firty with the managers at the station try- ing to get put on. I dont like that type of shit so Ive had to let go of interns who resort to that. Have any artists tried getting at you? Name names, please. defnitely not naming any names. Ive had my share of that, though, [Artists] defnitely come at you sideways because some of them are used to getting extra-extra groupie love or used to women constantly being all over them and be excited to talk to them. This is my job, so I have no desire to try and talk to you. Im trying to work like you are. Theres [artists] Im attracted to, but on the real I dont like industry dudes, I like nerds. Regular around-the-way dudes whove got a little nerd swag in them. Im not trying to deal with these industry cats. I want somebody thats around more often. How nerdy are we talking? Book-smart nerd or computer-geek-who-doesnt-talk-to-girls- often nerd? um, no. I defnitely want a grown-ass man, but I like intellect. The sexiest thing to me is brilliance and intellect, more than anything else. I want us to be able to talk and learn from each other. I get tired of teaching other people things. Do you ever see women give ultimatums, to guys trying to get in the game? Hell. Yeah. Cougars are the new thing in the music but especially the movie industry. The older women are going for the younger men nowadays, especially now that they have the ele- ment of power, they are telling them what you gonna do for me to put you on? Ive even heard that some radio females are doing that to guys who are trying to get spins. // Words by Maurice G.

The Wall Street Journal is as worthless as any stocks these days but e-40 is here to save the day with his solution, the Ball street Journal. 40 Waters eleventh solo album is a solid efort which may not be far from the expected but ofers a nice dose of hyphy for those who need a quick pick-me-up. Standouts Pain No More and The Recipe are just some of the tracks that help make this a satisfying sonic journey with the Bays fnest. - Rohit Loomba DJ amES & roccETT/GrinD TimE: cTE EDiTion CTe rapper Roccett sounds poised to take of. With a mix of West Coast favor and Southern spice, he puts on for the streets. Run These Streets and Ride With A G are banging records for all the people pushing weight and getting stacks. Roccett also proves he can hold his own with rappers Young Buck and Gorilla Zoe on their collaborative tracks G Move and Throw Your Hoods up. No hipster rap here, just ofcial gangsta tunes. - JeeVan Brown DJ SkEE & EviDEncE/ThE layovEr mixTapE Over a year since his critically acclaimed solo debut, Los Angeles rapper/producer evidence hooks up with dJ Skee for the the Layover Mixtape. The dilated Peoples emcee is as impressive on this mixtape as his solo album, the weatherman LP. A handful of quality remixes, and number of guest bars from underground all-stars like Crooked I, Blu, Bishop Lamont, Little Brother, Mitchy Slick and a gang of others, help make Mr. Slow Flows mixtape one for the iPods. - Randy Roper mc EihT & DJ nik BEan/all-STar & STrapS (STrEETz of l.a.) O.G. MC eiht returned to bless the old heads, and maybe some of the new generation, with that original West Coast favor. MC eiht delivers on def Wish pt. 2, as the production and lyrics makes you want to ride down the streets of L.A. with the top back. Other notable tracks are Golddigger and Keep it Pushing, but MC eiht falls short on most of the Cd, as most of the tracks sound dated. Maybe eiht should stay retired, and manage or produce up-and-coming West Coast rappers. - JeeVan Brown Damani/conGraTulaTionS playEr damani pretty much turns his ego meter up to 10 and uses this mixtape to let you know just how much better he is than you and everyone you know. Though its centered around his Congratulations Player Adidas sneaker, damani only raps about the shoes on the frst and last tracks, using the rest of the time to fex his skills. He especially shines when he beat jacks Outkasts Royal Flush for Wrong Nigga to Rap After. But at the end of the day, this mixtape feels more like a quick moment, not something that warrants repeat play. Since its really just a marketing accessory for his new Adidas sneaker, mission accomplished. - Maurice G. Garland JuicE & DJ Don cannon/poSiTion of poWEr With the frst ofering from his Hypocalypto Records partner- ship with NBA star Amare Stoudamire, Juice sets out to solidify himself as a relevant solo artist and not just a Black Wall Street associate. Juice displays more maturity and com- fort with his style than years past as he treats each beat with caution rather than just busting as hard as he can. Though his hooks can use some work, Juice does exhibit potential to fnally put his city of Phoenix, AZ on the map in a major way. - Maurice G.
