Pretty Dope Sh*t. Well at least that's what Ella Thought.

Next Up: Hollywood. Took me a while to find Hollywood on the internet -_- Probably because he grinds in part for his Familia -East Brook Family - I can certainly respect that. Not sure anyone in @EastBrookFamily is worried, but if you're wondering, Hollywood held it down without really trying. I think I was standing next to him when I interrupted the event but I was busy giving the crowd a once-over. Truthfully, I don't even see n*ggas sometimes, lol. No disrespect. They're just not really my audience. *shrugs* I speak to ladies for the most part ;) Banks went into a joke about someone being late. "He's talking about you..." Hollywood whispered. "You waited?!" my reflex responded before my mind remember Bailey's was in the hiz-oouuuseee. (I love me some Bailey's, but all the places I've been to lately haven't had it on stock. #blown. Another reason I love Mirrors On Grand. The bar isperfect & the house Moscato is tasty too! Be sure to tip the bartenders better than I did. Gave the rest of my dollars to some boys on the train on the way there -_- lol I try to tip as often as I can.) I made my way to the back of the place in search of a place to sit and/or an open spot at the bar. Luckily a group was leaving as I came in --perfect timing :) -- So... here's the phantom, Hollywood for you. Listen to him, he sounds like he could really do it if he wanted to. I make it a point to also pay attention to what is said, how it's said, when it said... & whether you choose to skim over Hollywood's lyrics or nit-pick, he doesn't let you down. He's a little disrespectful, though. But humorous. Lighthearted. I consider it a youthful disregard that's probably required from a man in his position & in this industry. His swag in the performance below reminds me of Jay-Z a la "N*gga What, N*gga Who" - You know ---She want us to end/ cuz I f*cked her friend/ She gave me one more chance/ & I fucked her again./ I seen the tears as she busted in./ I said, "Shit, there's a draft/ Shut the door, b*tch/ & come on in!" It's so brazen it pisses you off, but he says it so fluidly --so G -- you kinda wanna join a little bit, right? Maybe it's just me *shrugs* lol. Besides, there seemed to be real humble demeanor under the Gucci/LV scarf (whatever it was in the dark, I couldn't tell. But I know a monogram when I see one.) #Bravo, tho, Mr. Hollywood.

This guy is like our open mic veteran. He’s been at every single show and each time he touches the mic he comes with new AND hot rhymes. How can you not love a hard worker who produces quality music every time? He rhymed over Lupe Fiasco’s Failure and killed it! This may have been a surprise to some because he def came up in Mirrors lookin’ like a young Raphael Saadiq with his cuban hat cocked to the side and khaki slacks. Yeah it’s 2011 and you can’t judge a rapper by his clothes but he looked like a crooner! Giving the audience a glimpse into his personal life, Hollywood revealed “Rain clouds follow me/soap bottle reign gotta get this pain outta me/waitin for the change but it’s the same old reality.” Looking forward to him opening up more.
