PARIS VS THE BEAST
by Davey D
Bay Area rapper Paris had an unpleasant encounter when he paid a visit to San Francisco-based Clear Channel radio station KMEL Wednesday, January 14, while on air doing an interview with morning show host Chuy Gomez about his new album, Sonic Jihad. During the interview Gomez took live phone calls when several callers spoke up and complained that it was a shame that there weren't more opportunities to hear politically charged raps and more artists like Paris. The callers put the station on blast and reprimanded Chuy for playing it safe and flooding the community with negative material.
Paris told the caller that deejays like Chuy aren't the people responsible for making the musical decisions, instead it's the program directors and higher ups at Clear Channel that call all the shots. Those remarks elicited a swift response from KMEL Program director and Clear Channel Regional Vice President of Programming Michael Martin who stormed into the studio and told Paris to "Get the **** out of his station".
Paris remained calm and quickly checked Martin about his disrespectful manner. Aside from his obvious attempt to provoke a physical confrontation, Martin was out of line because Paris had recently purchased many thousands of dollars worth of commercials. In this instance, it wasn't just an artist Martin was disrespecting, but a paying customer of his employer. Heated words were exchanged , and Martin, obviously feeling threatened, called security and ran back to his office and locked the door - which was an over the top move since it was he who was the aggressor in the first place.
Listeners to KMEL did not hear the exchange because the mics were abrubtly turned off. One second you heard Paris talking, and the next second all you heard were songs and commercials. It was obvious that something went down--especially when listeners never heard Paris say goodbye.
We caught up with Paris and asked him his take on what happened. Was this an isolated incident or something that reflects a larger and more troublesome picture?
"Obviously we touched a nerve. Normally I don't speak on unfinished business, but the cold part about it is the fact that the COMMUNITY was speaking out, not just me, so it carried much more weight than if I were the only one talking about shitty-ass commercial radio and it's redundant, derogatory playlists. It's bigger than just a Paris record, it goes to the core of the problem. These racist cowards fill our airwaves up with negative material that influences our communities and feel they don't have to be held accountable for what they do. We are saying that they do. The community is saying it loud and clear: PROVIDE BALANCE!
The stations say they respond to the tastes of the streets, but they dictate the tastes of the streets, and there is a direct cause and-effect-relationship between what they play and how the community responds. How many times have you memorized the words to a weak-ass song that you don't even like because they play it 10 times an hour? And how many times have you heard them break new records by artists that the street has never even heard of? Stations aren't responding to the streets in these instances, they are receiving payola (pay for play) from labels that they have sweetheart deals with. Michael Martin programs 22 stations. Why? Who is this devil and how is he qualified to interact with us at all? I'm over 108,000 units deep on my latest in 4 months, with no video and no airplay, and am a motherfuckin vet in this hip-hop game, with over 3.5 million records sold independently, because I SPEAK TO US. We are the streets, not this Wizard behind the curtain. They need to have community outreach soon before shit really gets out of hand." |

That was a great interview with my main man Paris, the general. He needs to collaborate with Killah Priest. They would make a great team. Just like Dead Prez and Black Star. Peace and Asaalayum Alakyum.  |

| Sonc Jihad in stores and online in September |
SONIC JIHAD, the long-awaited album by Paris, will be released worldwide
on September 23rd in both retail stores and online at www.guerrillafunk.com.
The webstore release has been delayed as a result of recent developments
which lead to the securing of worldwide distribution capabilities through
traditional channels for Guerrilla Funk.
About Sonic Jihad
After a mild hiatus Paris returns with his most pointedly-focused and brutal
condemnation of the ills of society to date. Waging righteous warfare (hence
the title) on all that he perceives as being wrong with world in this current
political climate of manufactured fear and "War on Terror," he covers such
issues as the New World Order, the manmade origins of AIDS, military lies
and propaganda, police brutality and the embarrassing state that hip hop is
currently in. The first single, "What Would You Do?” has already been a
lightning-rod for controversy in the United States, garnering coverage from
such notable sources as MTV2, The New York Times and MSNBC for it’s
suggestion that the Bush Administration played a key role in orchestrating
the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. And it doesn’t stop there -- the
album also features input from progressive hip-hop visionaries Dead Prez,
Public Enemy and Kam. Add dancehall sensation Capelton to this already
impressive mix and you have a potent molotov cocktail of an album ready to
explode.
As one of the few remaining artists who can be relied upon to remain
consistent with both his content and his dedication to musical quality, Paris'
latest effort will please not only his existing loyal supporters, but should
prove to gain him many new listeners as well. Be sure to check in often, as
we’ll be releasing additional mp3s of new material soon.
What we need now is for supporters to let buyers at stores in their area know
that there is demand for Sonic Jihad! Let your local djs and radio stations
know that you support real hip-hop and demand more from your entertainment!

Everythang is an uphill struggle when you represent what's real...
On a non-related note, we apologize for the lapse in correspondence to

great to stay on top of at regular intervals. Regular correspondence will
resume once product becomes available. If you have to reach Paris for
interviews or business, please contact his publicist, Nicole Balin, at
nikyb@adelphia.net.

The Return Of Truth In Hip-Hop! GuerrillaFunk.com
Peace and thanks to all supporters who have written in!
The momentum is building, and much support is being garnered for the GuerrillaFunk.com
website and the forthcoming “Sonic Jihad” LP.
Dig today’s New York Times article on Paris, in the “Pop Life” section:
http://www.nytimes.com/pages/arts/index.html
Also, the much-discussed Paris - MTV2 interview is finally scheduled to run on
“The Wave” on April 20th. It runs bi-weekly and was already pushed back twice due to
increased war coverage at MTV. Hopefully they will make good on their pledge to run
the in-depth story and buck the urge to echo the pro-war sentiments of the major networks.
Thanks in advance to everyone over there if they actually pull it off.
In other news, GuerrillaFunk.com has recently entered into a non-exclusive arrangement to
distribute merchandise for fellow revolutionary artists Dead Prez. Their items will be available
in the soon-to-be-launched webstore at GuerrillaFunk.com.

Rock on then. Paris actually stopped by and posted on BrainRaps' Paris message board.
Here's the latest from the Guerrilla Funk newsletter.
The Return Of Truth In Hip-Hop! GuerrillaFunk.com
Thanks to all supporters who have written in!
There have been many inquiries as to the availability of new music, especially “Sonic Jihad.”
It’s coming in May - with appearances by Kam, Dead Prez and Public Enemy! It will be
distributed both traditionally by certain companies with the ability to do so (given this
constrictive political climate) in various territories globally and via the internet at
www.guerrillafunk.com.

Event Update:
One and a half years after the 9/11 tragedy, there is still no comprehensive investigation into
the events of that day. The United States is now involved in a global conflict against terrorism,
much of it based solely on assumptions of guilt for the attacks on American soil. But what if
everything you knew about 9/11 was wrong?
Sundance-award winning producers Guerrilla News Network present:
AfterMath: Unanswered Questions from 9/11.
Narrated and scored by Paris and featuring interviews shot by GNN syndicate producers in six
cities, AfterMath features nine (9) people answering eleven (11) of the most pressing questions
that emanate from the terrible and, as yet, unexplained, events of that day. As you will see, these
are questions that continue to overshadow and critically challenge the official 'version' of the story.

About us:
Guerrilla Funk Recordings was born out of necessity. It’s a musical organization that was founded
by Paris - the politically conscious artist best known for the incendiary song “Bush Killa” - that’s
specifically intended to counter the corporate stranglehold of censorship currently plaguing the
entertainment industry. It is intended to provide balance in this intolerant climate of suppression of
free speech and artistic expression, and to serve as a vehicle for those who are unable - not because of
lack of talent or relevance - to be heard. Understand that there now exists a harmful double-standard
at most record labels of endorsing artists who only espouse misogyny, mindless violence, and drug
culture references in their music -- while at the same time ignoring artists who strive to enlighten and
inspire. It is our pledge at Guerrilla Funk Recordings not to follow suit.
In GuerrillaFunk.com you will find all of the information that you always wanted to know about
Paris - and much, much more! From Music to World News, Real Estate info to Financial Planning
assistance, GuerrillaFunk.com as it all - but with an alternative twist! Be sure to check out the timely
and informative essays in the “Thought Box” section - and dig the videos and new music throughout!
Also, be sure to visit the “Press” section and our “Downloadable Press Kit” for graphics and tools
to help support GuerrillaFunk.com!
