What's the deal my Xanga Peoples.  Damn it's been an OD minute since the last time I've been on here!!!  I miss all you guys & appreciate all of you who still check out my page hoping for more of my entries.  Well I'm here to update you guys on what's been goin' on, so get in tune.
       Well let's see, where do I begin?  Oh I got it, I never started school yet, I'm suppose to start in October, but that might be changing quite soon.  I'll tell you why soon, but until the reason for that here's other news, FlipStyle might be put on hold with the albums for about a year.  I know I know, that's me & Flip's company right there.  How could such a thing happen.  Well, Flip was suppose to be attending Raritan as well as the other half of FlipStyle, which he did.  The only thing is that, his Computer Science class which he was takin' as his major didn't teach him what he thought it would.  So he's goin' to attend Full Sail in Florida to get his degree in the Recording Arts.
       Now I know, I'm the person who could hold it down in Jersey for the rest of FlipStyle right?  Wrong!!!  I'm leaving too, & headin' a lil' further south of Jersey, but not really hittin' the actual South.  I'll be in the Maryland/DC/Virgina area.  Aight, y'all ready for the reason?  I Met Someone!!!
       Y'all thought Lai & I was serious, man, You Have No Idea!!!  I'm goin' to let the story unfold now.  Aiight, I met this lil' mami on that MySpace site that I put you guys on hold for.  Her name is Toya & I saw her page & left her a comment congratulating her on makin' it into Howard University in D.C.  Since that first comment, shit has been lovely.  She writes lyrics just as well as I do if not better.  So with that Flip & I signed Precious to FlipStyle!!!
       Toya D. was officially signed to FlipStyle August 16th 2005 as Scruff's personal writer.  From there, me & Toya developed an incredible friendship.  We spend @ least 6 hours on the phone in total a day, & we make it an appoint to see each other every two weeks even though we're 3 hours apart.  We're real serious already, & becoming more & more serious each day.  I mean Lauren was great & all, we thought we would be together for in the future, but the difference between my past relationship with Lauren & my new relationship with Toya is, I know Toya & I are going to be together for a very long time if not forever.
       So with that, we're going to get a place of our own in The VA/DC/MD area by February.  That's why I put school on hold.  I can't see myself paying all of that money for tuition costs & books & transportation when I won't even be completing my year there.  I know this sounds like one of those OD Love story's, but I really believe that this is it y'all.  I wish I could give you guys the history.  But that'll be way too long.  I don't think y'all want all of that.

       As far as Flip goes, I was really upset that my brother is dippin' off to Florida, but hey, it's for education purposes.  I can't complain there.  And plus, my man is about to get a degree in the Recording Arts.  Did you read me just now, I said Flip is getting his degree in Recording Arts.  And me, I'm dippin' off to VA soon, so FlipStyle is definitely expanding.  We're scouting talent in the Florida area, Jersey area, & DC/MD area.  Me & Flip are starting fresh with the beats & looking for upcoming producers, artists, writers & engineers.  So if you're interested, then you can either hit me up with a comment on here or Instant Message me:

       So with that, I'm gon' dip off, I'm still working on the third album.  Maybe y'all can hit up my MySpace if you wanna hear a lil' somethin'.  Mad Luv Y'all, & stay focused!!!  Holla @ Cha Boy!!!                                                                                                                               

Damn, it’s been a minute since the last time I posted somethin’ on here.  Wow I really miss you guys.  It’s just been pretty difficult workin’ 3 jobs & all.  I’ve kept my job @ the Taco Bell, I clean gutters about 2 days a week, & I own my own studio now.  Yea, y’all, the kid is movin’ up.

            Stuff has been crazy, so many things to discuss in oh so little timing.  I’ve been writin’, & I’ve had enough fans convince me to do One More Album!!!  That’s right Xanga, Scruff has decided, this is it for you guys.  You’ll be hearin’ more material from me in the future, but as far as hearin’ my own material comin’ from my mouth, nah that’s a no no.

            My Mom & Baby sister Mickey are movin’ to Florida in about two weeks.  I’m not really likin’ the thought of that.  I’m really goin’ to miss my Lil’ Angel.  The thought of not bein’ able to watch my sister grow is makin’ me feel so weak.  I was the father figure in her life for the first three years of her birth.  You guys have no idea what damage is bein’ done to my heart.

            So because of their big move, well we’re throwing one more Big Ass BBQ, out in Pennsylvania.  A Big Bash this Saturday.  I’m expecting plenty more album sales.  I say this because my mom asked me to perform @ the cookout.  At first I wasn’t really wit’ it, but there’s goin’ to be @ least over 250 people there, so I don’t see why not.  Plus, I mean that’s crazy sales I can make.  Feel me?

            My man Flip went to Chicago for a month, while my Princess Lauren was on lock for like a week, but I can’t really speak with her on the regular basis anymore like I use to because of my schedule.  We stay booked in the studio, & I’m constantly @ Taco Bell or on top of rooftops when I’m not booking sessions.  Now that Flip is back, I’m mad happy to be getting’ back down to business. 

We’re about to start a whole new level of education.  I’ll be goin’ to school to major in Music Business @ the Institute of Audio & Research.  My man Flip is gon’ be @ Raritan Valley Community College majoring in Computer Science.  We’re so ready for what’s awaiting us.  I know I’m goin’ to be fully dedicated to our business & different ways to network. 

This is goin’ to be our greatest challenge though, different Colleges for two years.  Hmmm, it may not sound like a big deal but it is.  All the different people around us tryin’ to convince us to go along with this business proposition, that business idea, I’m kind of nervous.  I hope me & Flip make it out still a team even though not connected with each others presence everyday.  This is gon’ be the chance for me to bring Flipstyle up off the ground though.

I’ll be networking with mad people who are interested in the Music Business because that’s what our school is about.  It’s all about Music & the Business itself.  It’s really exciting to me, but then again, I’m bitin’ my nails every week we get closer to the school year.

But yea you guys, I just wanted to let you all know that Scruff is alive, & how well things are goin’ for me.  I wanna definitely give a shoutout to my homegirl BabyGurl2314.  You been a real Xanga reader even when I wasn’t writin’ anything.  So this is for you ma.  It’s because of you that I’m back here now typin’ this long log.

But I have to go to work @ Taco Bell, but first, I wanna go to the mall to check out the different medallions I want for my chain.  Me & Flip gotta go back to school wit’ “Style”.  Mad love to all of you who are supportin’ me in whateva I do. 

Shoutout to my mamis, my mans, my audience my fans/
The people who I can't greet cuz your deep in the stands/
I think about it & I'm sittin' like damn/
These are the people who got me & Flip to split about a grand/
I don't know half of your names but still i'm dappin' your hand/
Cuz you the people absorbin' my words as it exits my glands/
People bootleggin my music runnin' their scams/
So this to my ladies, my fellas my audience & fans/
The dudes givin' me pounds & all the cuties givin' hollas/
People buyin' my album wit' their last five dollars/
Lil' kids repeatin' my bars rhymin' just like me/
Rollin' up your pants leg just like me/
Show your Nikes, lil girls are just too sweet/
I sold 255 in, just two weeks/
Lovin' my music sayin' damn that boy sick/
This to my people showin' love from Bronx to Brunswick/

            I never thought I’d say this again, @ least not on this page:  Holla @ Cha Boy Scruff!!!

It's funny to me, because when I lived in the Bronx, that borough was the best place ever through my eyes.  I mean, the excitement poppin' off everyday, the beautiful women, the athletes in the park in training to be the superstars of tomorrow, & the upcoming generation tryin' to make it in the world.  Well that beautiful picture that I've been painting all my life, has been sold & ruined.

       I went back to the Bronx recently & my hometown isn't anything but poverty & hell.  The hustlas have bodegas on lock throughout the day, I can't even go inside my favorite corner store anymore to buy a pickle without feelin' threatened.  Sadly, the cops roll by & don't even do a thing about it.  Either they roll into the store completely unaware of the danger right there in the third aisle, or they do know & just won't do anything about it.  Either way, the cops stationed in the Bronx are sickening.

            Then there are the people who I grew up with.  Damn it’s weird discovering the changes that happens to a person’s character when you don’t see them for some time.  Like my friend Jeremy, damn he was mad cool.  He introduced to the basketball courts in our neighborhood when I first walked into the park.  Him & I were mad tight, even played in the same basketball league.  I actually thought he was goin’ to be one of the ones to make it.  Homey still didn’t even make it past the 10^th grade & he’s 17 now.

            Went to my man Naco’s crib to see what’s going on with him only to find that he’s another lost cause in the hood.  His mom answered, & she welcomed me inside with glee.  It was cool talking to her, but after sitting down for about ten minutes & conversing with Naco’s Mom over a glass of “red” Kool-aid, I asked if Naco was ready.  All this time I was sitting there telling her about my accomplishments as far as school while thinking Naco was in the room getting ready, Naco had been locked up for 3 days already.

            It’s sad to see that the same young dudes that I was coming up with are the same ones that made the complete opposite decisions that I would make in life today.  I don’t get it, all our parents spoke to us about the same morals & the choices that we should choose, & if this is true, then why is it that only a handful of us are actually doing right.

            Vanessa, shoot, she lived with the thought thinking that kissing & having a boyfriend would cause her to get cooties until she was 8 years old.  Now she’s 19 with three kids.  It was really good to see her though.  I spoke to her, & she let me know the scoop on everyone who we grew up with.  I kinda feel bad for her.  She’s a beautiful young female with a huge mind, & she had to settle for her GED, because after the third young one, her papi dipped.  Her mom is sick, & Grandma died, no one there to help, so she has to do it all on her own, work & pay the bills & the baby sitter, & groceries, cuz mom dukes is done workin’.

            Shit like that really bothers me.  I get really emotional when I hear things like that.  I mean, coming back home was a beautiful thing because the people who’ve always thought you were goin’ to make it are glad to see that you never forgot where you came from.  Then there’s the haters, the ones who hate to see me floss more than they do even though I make my money the right way & not the fast way.  The fact that my gear is hott as in expensive & stylish while theirs are hott…as in stolen.  I’m pushing a whip while they’re still swiping metro cards.

            It just sucks to leave my hometown & then come back to see the same people I came up with which I knew so well to now recognize them by face & know none of them by character.  The Bronx use to be the place where I would always wanna come back to, but now, I think I’m better off peeping the houses in Jerzey.

       Damn, this page looks familar.  My bad about the long absence.  Yo, to all my people who have been hittin' me up for the past month & seein' the same entry repeatedly, I'm sorry 'bout that.  I don't even have a topic to bring to you this week.  I do have a favor to ask tho.

       Now that graduation & celebration is out of the way, I need to get my business lifted.  Flip Style needs to be on it's way.  But I need some help.  If anyone knows any webdesigners, hip hop artists who speak real hip hop, producers or even A & R's, please tell them to hit me up on this site or on my AIM: Scruff2K3C.  I need to get my label launched & in the air ASAP.

       I do wanna know what's goin' on with my Xanga fam tho.  So I'll read up on all of my daily readers in a few.  As for me, I'm about to attend the Institute of Audio & Research in September.  Please believe I'm gon' be majorin' in Music Business gettin' that degree.  My Princess & I, we doin' ok, could be better, but hey, what can I say.  This summer i'm definitely gon' be workin' til' sweat no longer exists in my body.

       ANNNNNYWHO!!!  I'm sorry this entry so damn wack, but I have alot of things that I have to get in order right now.  Mad Luv, Holla @ Cha Boy!!!

       Iight everyone, I think it's time to put our mind somewhere else.  I wanna thank everyone that read my last xanga entry & gave their opinion on it.  It's time to move beyond that now, so our new topic is interracial relationships. 

       I personally feel that interracial dating is a cool (cool meaning nice) experience.  I've dated a couple of white females before, but it wasn't like I was just dating them for the experience, I was actually feelin' them.  Some of my friends were cool with it, & some of 'em just weren't feelin' me for doin' such a thing. 

       I actually think that both sides of my guy friends were down for the wrong reasons.  The guys who supported me, they were only down for me becuz they felt that me bein' an African American with my Thug Appeal, I'm definitely gettin' the ass!!!  My opposing guy friends, they just felt that I should stick with the sisters just becuz that's the way it's suppose to be.

       The females on the other hand, they just weren't haven't it.  They considered me a sellout becuz of what I was doin'.  I remember when I brought my caucasian girlfriend around the block for the first time, & my ex caught eye of this, please believe I didn't hear the end of this situation.  And My Mom, whoo, she was actin' so fake.  I brought her in the house, and my mom turned around & saw her, she gave her a hug & told her to have a seat, but then I said that she's my girlfriend while my mom was in the middle of cookin', she dropped the spoon & nearly dropped the pot. 

       I just don't understand why it's such a big deal.  I hate the fact that the people like my mom & my friends say that racism is just plain ignorance, but they're the same people who have a problem with me datin' a white woman.  I think that's ignorance.  Anywayz, I think that there's people out there who have different opinions from myself, so hit me up wit' cha comments & lemme know what's goin' on.  Holla @ Cha Boy Scruff!!!
