Joe Rogan Vs Carlos Mencia
I had a set at the comedy store Saturday night, and after I closed, I was bringing on the next comedian, a guy named Kirk Fox that works for Carlos Mencia.
I introduce him saying that he's a funny guy, and that he opens on the road for Carlos "Menstealia." That’s the name we call him at the comedy store, and of course Carlos doesn't like it one bit.
Carlos was apparently in the room when I said this, and the perfect combination of ego and timing made him decide that this was the night to put his foot down. As I got off stage and headed towards the back of the room, he grabbed the mike away from Kirk, and said that I was too much of a pussy to say that shit to his face. Which to me, is something akin to the hottest girl in the world daring you to fuck her while you're standing there in her bedroom naked with a boner.
Of course I had to disagree with him, and I decided to get onstage with him and have this "meeting of the minds" as it were. On video, and for the whole world to see via the internet.
Shazam!”
You can check Joe’s website for more words from the man himself. Stay tuned for more news soon. The last time I checked, Carlos Mencia’s name was on the front sign at The Comedy Store. I’m still waiting for the double billing between Joe and ‘Los, it should make for a hell of a night, sort of like hip-hop meets wrestling with stand up thrown in for good measure.
So, now I'm banned from The Comedy Store.

MIMS- "This Is Why I'm Hot"
Quote from MIMS: "If you listen to the record, I've got a bit of everything in there," says the Washington Heights, New York-based MIMS. "I'm showing love to all the different regions."
"As an artist I want people to expect the unexpected," he says. "Don't think for one minute that I am going to come this way all the time. You'll hear one record and go wild - 'Wow. He did that ?' I want people to listen to the album and expect the unexpected because this is only the beginning. It is going to get better than this."

Stephen Marley-“Traffic Jam” video
PR Quote from Stephen Marley
'Traffic Jam' come off of an incident that happened with me and Julian, an incident with some police. After it, I went straight to the studio and we were doing some dub plates. And dub plates, you just kind of freestyle and that was how that came about, just talking about what happened. So 'Traffic Jam' wasn't really a song on the album, it was an interlude with just me, short."
From the new Mind Control album-release Date: March 20th
