Consider yourself  lucky if you’re not.   And chances are, if you live north of Racine.. then you escape the mindless schlubs who cheer for the Cubs because it’s fashionable.  I don’t have that luxury.

Let me start by saying that I enjoy the Brewers, they’re a likeable team with faithful, passionate, friendly drunk fans.  But if I have to chose a major league team to root for ,(hard for me to care about overpaid men who whine and cry) then I choose the White Sox. Before you scoff, there’s a good reason.

I live on the state line. On the border of IL/WI. My neighborhood is littered with Cub Fans. I’ve seen the decline of the organization,  most fans have been reduced to pretentious.  So the best way for me to rebel against the CubDrones that ooze through the streets and display brand new  giant flags that brag the rare “W” (lame).. is to cheer for the White Sox.  The Brewers just don’t cut it when comes to angering the Cubs “faithful”. 

Working in Milwaukee, it’s difficult to NOT like the Breweres. I’m cheering for them 95% of the time. But you can’t top the look of disdain from your CubFan neighbors while sporting a Sox cap to kick off the promise of a new season.

J-Kwon (who gave ut his  2004 smash,Tipsy) went “missing” according to his attention starved, greedy music label.. who apparently created this fake story in desparate hopes of music sales/buzz for his upcoming album.  J-Kwon claims he had nothing to do/had no knowledge of this ..um, misunderstanding.

RAPPER J-KWON REASSURES FANS HE’S JUST FINEThe St. Louis rapper and his manager, Keith Matthews, offer explanation about disappearance claims reportedly made by former record label Gracie Productions

March 5, 2010 (DALLAS) – St. Louis native J-Kwon, whose real name is Jerrell Jones, has gone on record to refute news earlier this week that the rapper went missing.  J-Kwon and manager, Keith Matthews, maintain that the actions of claiming the rapper’s disappearance were completely independent and did not involve them. The announcement was reportedly made by his former label Gracie Productions.

Claims of the rapper’s disappearance surfaced Wednesday March 3rd declaring the rapper had been missing for nearly 30 days. Upon receiving phone calls from family and friends several hours after his alleged disappearance, J-Kwon along with Matthews immediately began to reassure everyone that he is doing fine. The rapper has since reached out to the St. Louis Police Department in efforts to notify them of the situation and to absolve himself from any wrongdoings.

“Things get taken out of hand,” said J-Kwon. “On top of that, there are other families that are really missing people and my heart goes out to them. I’m not trying to promote anything. I just prayed about it and moved on.”

Fans and supporters made calls and sent e-mails to ask for pray for his safe return. Oblivious to the news, J-Kwon says that he was completely unaware about the situation until his friends and family started to contact him.

“When we were contacted of that situation, we were reaching out to fans and other people that support J-Kwon to let them know it is not real,” said Matthews. “It did not have anything to do with us, it did not come from our camp.”

Matthews offered his insight as to why he feels Gracie Productions reportedly would attempt a stunt like this. “We did a non-exclusive situation with them and then that was it,” Matthews said. “We started off with a good relationship. I think it was a miscommunication when it came to them taking actions on their own. I do not know why they did not reach out to us or to me to do something like that. I was shocked that they did not reach out to me or call someone. They have not returned any phone calls or e-mails, not the management or anyone.”

“At the end of the day, J-Kwon was successful in his career,” Matthews said. “He is an established artist. It did not do anything to enhance his career because he has a good career. There was no reason for them to do that.”

J-Kwon remains consistently focused on his work as he moves past the situation and delves into new projects. Professionally his Hood Hop 2.5 mixtape, which was released in the summer of 2009, continues to gain downloads. He continues to enhance his company Hood Hop Music, and has signed a new pop artist in addition to the artists Gino Green, SOC, and various others.  J-Kwon’s “Kwon for Kids Organization” headquartered in St. Louis benefitting homeless children in need has been another major focus for the rapper.

Rapper J-Kwon Missing

St. Louis native J-Kwon, who made a huge splash in 2004 with the hit “Tipsy,” has been missing for almost a month, his label says. Gracie Production released a statement Tuesday night asking for help finding the MC.

“J-Kwon is a big part of the Gracie family, and we are obviously increasingly worried and want to make sure he is OK,” Gracie Productions CEO/President Tony Bucher said in the statement. “We’ve already received thousands of e-mails from fans and supporters who are worried about J-Kwon, and we want everyone to know how much we appreciate the love and support. If anyone has seen J-Kwon or has access to him, please let him know we are worried about him, and to please let us know everything is ok.”

Bucher and Gracie Productions have also gone as far as setting up a Twitter page @WhereIsJKwon so fans can write with any info they may have.

According to a rep for Gracie Productions, Kwon was working on a self-titled album to be released on March 23. Last year, via the indie, the 24-year-old rapper put out the albums Hood Hop 2 and Hood Hop 2.5.
