WHATS UP BLOG READERS,

YO' I WENT TO THE PREMIERE OF THE MOVIE "SOMEBODY HELP ME".

THE MOVIE WAS WACK AS HELL. I DIDN'T LIKE IT AT ALL. I MEAN OMAION AND ALEXIS WERE GOOD IN THE MOVIE, BUT AS FAR AS FOR EVERYONE ELSE IT WAS TRULY BAD.

I MEAN CHRIS STOKES NEEDS TO STAY WITH DANCING MOVIES. IF HE'S GONNA DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS HORROR THIS AIN'T HIS THING AT ALL. .I REALLY HOPE THE MOVIE DOES WELL WHEN IT COMES OUT, I MEAN I WOULDN'T BUY IT ON BOOT-LEG.

SORRY, BUT JUST KEEPIN IT 100% REAL.

THE RED CARPET WAS OFF THE CHAIN EXCEPT FOR CHRIS STOKES’ MOTHER "MAMA STOKES".

I DON'T KNOW IF SHE WAS ACTING HOLLYWOOD, BUT SHE STAYED IN MY APT. COMPLEX FOR 6 YEARS AND MIGHT STILL BE THERE. SHE USED TO COME TO MY HOUSE ASKING ME IF I WANTED DINNER. SHE ALWAYS WAS INVITING ME TO HER BOOK SIGNINGS AND ALL BUT ACTED LIKE SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHO I WAS AND SNUCK ONTO THE RED CARPET LIKE SHE WAS THE STAR, LOL. HOW THIRSTY IS THAT OLD HEFFA. SHE DID A BETTER JOB ACTING LIKE SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHO I WAS THEN IN THE MOVIE.I GIVE HER AND THE MOVIE 2 THUMBS DOWN!

OTHER THAN THAT, THE AFTER PARTY AT CLUB RITUAL WAS OFF THE CHAIN. THERE WAS ALOT OF PEOPLE THERE AND IT WAS UP TO MY LIKING. WASN'T ANYONE THERE ACTING HOLLYWOOD.

WELL, LETS SEE, HOW THIS NEXT EVENT TURNS OUT. YA'LL STAY TUNED IN OKAY THANKS AND MUCH LOVE.

MANAJ :)

Good-morning blog readers,

Today I feel blessed. I will be attending a couple of events this week and I’m hoping for the best. I know I've waited long enough for this moment to happen and I can’t believe it's really here. You know?

I’m really ready to get some more music done, I can’t wait for that.

I’ve been writing so much and I’ve come up with so many concepts.

I think all this will turn out the way that I want it to.

I got to show some love to all my friends on my Myspace page for continuing to support your girl through whatever I have been through. You guys have made me a better person in a good way and I am so thankful for that. Because you get hated on a lot in this game you know and taking in consideration my background, people are just not going to understand until my dvd/ mixtape hits stores. I mean, I think there is a little something in it for everyone that has been through the struggle with their fathers and or family members.

And trust me, I have been through almost all of it: dealing with fake friends, people stealing money or just plain old liars. I am so done with the fake stuff and I’m moving on to bigger and better and at the same time still keeping a level head.

That’s just who I am as a person, and I’m blessed with this gift.

I hope ya'll enjoy it as much as I will.

Thanks for tuning into my blog and have a blessed and wonderful day,

Yours truly,

MANAJ :)

Hey, what’s up folks? Ya girl has been having fun these past couple of days.
I’ve been to red carpet events, birthday parties and just club after club. I mean, this thing I call the Holly-hood life is turning out to be more then I thought.
I know I’ve got to get my pictures taken. It's hard to get all this done, you know, but I'm not complaining. Trust that I love it. It's just that with balancing my daughter, work and music’s fame life is crazy.
It seems like you have no time for anyone, not even for yourself.
So you want to make time for friends and family, but in the midst of that you’re spending money and treating everyone because they know you got it.
It's kinda messed up in a way because you understand how you friends and family feel but you still have a job to do.
Now what do you think is more important: having fun or making your money stack up to where you want it to be?
I say stack and be happy later. There’s more to life then just having fun.
Especially when you have kids to raise and you’re a single mother on your grind constantly having people hate on you about who knows what.
I'm just enjoying life for the day whatever happens, happens.
God would not put anything on anyone that they could not handle.
I just feel so blessed that I can let everyone hear what I have to say, weather they like it or not.
It makes me happy just to know that I can touch 1 or 2 souls with my music. That’s the best feeling ever.
Y'all stay up and remember without struggle, there's no progression, so stay grounded.

MANAJ**** :)

Wow. I feel so wonderful today. Okay, so I get to go to this red carpet thing today. I've never been to one before. I know that I’m going to do my best, but you know about the jitter bugs that get in your stomach? Well I have those, lol.
I cant believe that Im going to be walking the red carpet.
In any event, great thanks to Matt Harmon the C.E.O. of TM Media Group, Lorena and Carla my PR's for doing it up for me.
Man, this is the dream of a life time: to rep' for myself and WALK THE RED CARPET!!
Ya'll don’t understand. This is super great.
You know a lot of people don’t get to do things like this at all and it's a blessing to me from God that I really can do this and that ya'll have my back. I love all the love that’s been given to me.
Even so I scraped my knees, got bruses I still went for what I know and believe in and now that I know that I have my drive and push and people on my team, it makes it even more better.

You know I love what I do. That’s why I’m doing it. Most people say, I’m just in it for the money, but PLEASE. If I wanted to go to college then trust me, I would and I am soon. But right now I have this talent while I’m young and I’m about to handle it baby.
Ya'll stay up and stay tuned in for my next blog.
Love ya'll.
Much respect.
MANAJ :)

What’s up fans, friends and family? This is your girl, Manaj. I’ve been slipping lately and I don’t know why. I think I have a lot of pressure on me now that everything is getting off the ground. I didn’t expect things to move so fast, but you know that’s show biz.

I’m going to attend 2 parties this week. One for fashion week’s after party and the other for face2face entertainment model and talent management. I have never been to one. I think that would be phenomenal. I know a lot of people will be there so I'll have to look my best. I mean, of course: this is fashion week and I love fashion!

I am so thrilled to see what is to come. I mean I've seen a lot on TV but never been to one that is live and uncut. I hope it's not like Kat Williams said about the mansion parties. I know these are not mansion parties but there close enough, lol.

I know for sure I will enjoy myself and do well as a rep' for TM Media Group and as an artist. Hopefully this gets on TV so ya'll can see your girl live and uncut.

ALSO:
I'm still working on my DVD/mixtape once again, and my single ‘Gangsta Chick’ will hit the streets by November 2007. So make sure you catch up with every last one of my blogs to know what I’m doing and where I'll be.

And most definitely I can’t wait to meet each and every one of you.
Thanks for everything.
MANAJ :)

I want all of you to go to bragster.com and vote for your girl, however you feel: bad or good. It's just a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ question. I want all the feedback I can get. I think this will help me develop a great fan base and understand what you want from me. I'll be trying to get into everything I can get my hands on that’s positive. I see that a lot of you don’t like the fact that I use bad language in my music, but I see it as expressing how I feel in ways that only someone who has gone through what I have will understand.

Yes, I’m a single mother of two, and I’ve been through a lot of things. I can honestly say that I put myself through a lot because I was just feeling myself a little too hard. But now that I have grown up a little bit more I understand that every other word out of my mouth does not have to be the b-word or n-word. I mean I’m not trying to change up that much. All I want to do is make my fans happy and also myself.

I wonder how you guys would feel growing up if you had a mother and father who used bad language growing up like I did. That’s all I was around, so you got to try and understand that I’m trying to grow out of that, to be a better person for myself and my kids and also for my young fan base.

And if I hurt any single mother by the words that I use in my music, I’m sorry for expressing myself to the fullest.

I try to keep it at 100% as much as possible but I guess a lot of people can’t handle that.
I’m not in the music biz to bad talk guys or girls. I’m just expressing myself in the way that I am used to, I mean no harm.
I’m a loving, outgoing person who loves people.
So get to know me a little bit before you judge me and understand it's not all my fault.
I’m not going to blame anyone for my wrong doings. I just have to mature and grow a little bit more and with your help, I can do so.

I appreciate all the love and respect that I have gained over the past year and am ready for whatever comes my way.

Thanks for everything,
MANAJ**

What’s up? It’s ya girl Manaj.
I want to give thanks to all my fans that have been supporting me through this rough time. I'm doing the best I can to make sure that I'm putting forth effort to make all of you happy and will enjoy my DVD and music. I'm here to show that you can make it in the rap game no matter what. I have a father that is a millionaire and I don't have his help at all. I'm a single mother of two and a go-getter. I love to deal with my fans, family and friends, because without you I'm nothing. I'm so thankful that all of you have taken time out to listen and watch my DVD and even coming to read my blog.

I know it has been a minute getting this DVD/mix tape going, but I need and want y'all to hold me down and stay with me, and I'll do my best to give y'all what you want.
I have big dreams and am loving every minute of my time with each and every fan that I have so far.

This is a dream come true.
I just wanted to let y'all know that you’re appreciated and I love each and every one of you. I hope to visit your city or town or state soon.
Thanks for having my back and being there for me.
You’re well loved!!!
Always,
MANAJ***

Hey ya’ll. What’s up?

Today your girl is trying to see what’s what with this family situation. I’m still lost as to how we started arguing over a locked door that I paid for. The best advice I can give you is to not live with a roommate or family, at all. All it does is bring drama on you for some stupid shit. TRUST ME!!

I’ll try to do my best not to be in that situation again. I know shit happens and that’s cool and all, but I have no time for this at all. I have too much on me already as far as this music and my daughter, plus work and school, which I’m about to start.

I’ve had enough of the drama all around me. I’m ready for the fan drama. You know, all the yelling of my name, " MANAJ !!!!" "MANAJ !!!!" "MANAJ !!!!"
Yeah!!! That’s what I’m waiting for.

But, I guess as soon as I get straight where I’m going to move, then I’ll get my music done. So until then, ya’ll hold on to ya boots. I’m almost ready to drop this hot shit.

One love,
Manaj-

Yo, what’s up? My morning has been crazy. I moved in with my family and they start to trip this morning all because I locked the door. My kids are in here making a lot of noise while everyone was asleep. So I didn’t want them to keep running downstairs. Plus, my son fell down the stairs. So I locked the door so they wouldn’t run out. Then I get bum rushed with bullshit talk. I mean people jumping in my face all over a punk ass door. I mean, come on now. I can see if I didn’t open the door and they were just knocking and knocking, but as soon as someone came to the door, I opened it. I don’t get it. It’s really stupid, if you ask me. So now I gotta move again.

This is way to much. I told TM Media Group that I need my own place, but they wouldn’t listen to me. I can’t keep moving around like this from house to house and getting kicked out every time someone catches feeling about stupid small shit. But to each his own. I have no time for the bullshit. I thought they had my back. Now I got to wait to get paid back because they spent all the money. I mean, here we go again. I don’t understand this shit. It’s really making me sick.

I’m so outdone today. I mean, this dude is yelling in front of my kids and that’s a BIG no, no. Talk all the shit you want to me, but don’t disrespect my kids by doing some punk ass shit like that. My daughter was crying hard. That hurt my feelings so bad .
I guess alls well that ends well.
Ya'll be safe and stay grounded.
One love,
MANAJ :(

What’s up? It’s your girl on another lovely day. Guess what?! MY SON IS HERE!!!! Yup, my little boy came to see me from Texas after 9 months of his father holding him hostage. I can’t believe he’s here! Finally, I get to see my baby. We went and picked up my daughter and she went nuts. I wanted to cry, it was soooooo sute. But I couldn’t let anyone see my soft side, LOL.

Your girl is still trying to get into the studio. My boy, J Wells, hit me up. You know he fucks with Kurupt. Well, he wants to sell me a beat for $7,500. I’m like, ‘damn, that’s pricy for me.’ So he says he will work with me. I’m okay. That’s cool. So I guess I’m going to wait and see what happens. Hopefully all goes well. Ya'll wish me luck and stick by your girl.

Stay tuned for my next blog. Hopefully I'll have some shows lined up in a minute.
1 love,
MANAJ
STAY GROUNDED !

Hey, what’s the deal? I’m so happy today. I spoke with my PR firm yesterday and it went great. We talked about all the things I hope to do in the future with my music and with the Company. It was amazing. I really feel like things are starting to go well. All I need is the Company to move a little bit faster than they have been. I mean, I’m quick, I like going in and getting things done correctly then move onto the next project. That’s just me.

I’m very impatient, when it comes to what I want to do for myself. If I get thing going, then I want them to stay that way and keep moving. So as long as I keep my shit in order and do it the way I love, than shit will be handled, no questions asked.

My son is on his way here from Texas! I’m sooooooo happy, and I mean REALLY happy. I haven’t seen my son in six to eight months, man. His father is stupid. He knows that my son is the boy in my family. My uncle was killed when I was eight years old, so I am so over protective of my son. I can’t wait until he gets here!

Thanks for tuning in!

What’s up? My boy N.O.Y. came over today and dropped a number for one of my boys TwisT who goes to school for music production. We hooked up a date for Thursday to link up and make some music. He charges a cool amount too; I just hope all goes well. I mean, I believe in him, I just want the music to be leveled right and the sound to be knockin'. I got nothing but faith in my shit and there’s no doubt in me for that man.

Last night I went to the Cabana Club and saw some ridiculous shit! Nigga's got up there trying to do what I do. It killed me. Okay, yeah, I can say like two out of the eight artists were alright, and that shit wasn't cool. I wasted my time. For real!

I can’t wait to drop this DVD. Y'all are going to love it. I just want all my fans to stay down with me. I ain't a ha-SA-ditty bitch. I know what it's like to struggle. Don’t get me wrong, yeah my Dad gave me a lot of money at a young age. I was stupid and didn't know what I was doing and the streets whooped my ass for that. Now I'm older and know a little bit more and I'm learning how to tell the fake for the real niggas. Trust me there's only about five out of fifty and that’s who I need on my team.

But anyway, things are turning out the way I planned and all I can do is what I do and stay on my grind. Not only for me, but for my daughter and son. So you know I'm hungry for this shit!.

MANAJ***

Wow, my days have been crazy. I had to move away from my last roommate because she was bouncing off the walls, my little sister calls me about her girlfriend hitting her, I’ve got to work on my music and take care of my six year-old daughter, go to school, do my homework and all that shit. The music shit is getting to me because people act like they shit sounds good when it don't. They have been underground for six or seven years making no money and when I offer them a deal to work with your girl they give me that: "I'm working on my own album" when Nobody wants to hear that shit! I'm just sick of punk ass people, you know?

I know shit won’t always go the way you want it to, but damn! I'm hotter then most of these females and guys in the game now. I’m not saying that I'm the shit, but I do smell myself. I don't mean to toot my own horn, but "beep, beep!"

"Daddy's Shadow" is the best project I’ve been working on and TM Media Group has backed me up 1,000 %. I guess this is how the game goes.

Let’s talk about Andre Young for a minute. My dad is a mogul in the rap game, and here I am with no real beats. I see Lil Romeo doing his thing. I mean, damn, how hard is it to give your daughter one track?! I think he's being selfish and not understanding that I have a passion for this shit. I'm not your typical female, I’ve got a lot going for myself. I mean I know, I know, I'm a grown ass women and Daddy don't have to do a damn thing for me. Shit.

I think he does. I love Mr. Young. I love him to do just what he's always done: run away from shit. You know, Mr. MIA. I mean where the fuck is Detox?! I'm sorry but I'm getting tired of waiting. What it’s been two years or more? He's been saying, "watch out for Detox." Oh now you wanna Detox after smoking so much? Please. He's confused.

On my 21st birthday, my Dad called me the day after saying he had a stomach virus and asked me what I wanted for my birthday. My sisters and I, from the age of sixteen, were getting limos for all of our birthdays each year. So that year I asked for the limo and some money for school. He said ‘No, I already paid for school what do you want?’
‘Okay,’ I said, ‘$5,000.’ He said, ‘Cool.’ So I go down to my folks’ house in LA. I stayed in Palmdale at the time and waited two weeks with no response from Mr. Young. How fucked up is that? I mean, don't sell me a dream, especially not my own father.

Now, my Mom is a different story. She's crazy as hell, but that's how moms usually are.
She was charging me $700.00 to say in her home plus bills and food. I smoke and so does she, so I was the suppler since she didn’t have a job at the time and I was the only person working and making money. At the time there three other people staying there, plus my daughter. I couldn't take it. I was getting called every name in the book when I was broke, but I was the sweetest daughter in the world when I gave her money.
Fucked up, huh?
Well, I'm so done with that dumb shit.
Family makes your problems worse, trust me.
So keep your family far away when you’re making money cause they will brake you.

Yo' everybody needs to stop acting funny and lets make money and music!!!!!!!!
I'm ready. So holla at me. Don’t be a stranger.
Thanks for all the support,
I love all ya'll and can’t wait to meet my fans. Just keep up with the support and
stay tuned for the next blog,
