Books
NONE!
Okay, here's the real. I used to love cassette tapes, but they are gone the way of the Dodo bird now. I can appreciate those of you who still have the time to read, I happen to believe it's an outdated method of information retreval. Seriously, everything I need to read is online and I don't like how much space books take up in my home. But, if books are your thing, more power to you.
Heroes
Stanley Kubrick, Terry Anderson, Rakim, TMZ, Weapon X, That guy in Texas that shot the 2 burgalers on his neighbor's property, Smith & Wesson, Sam Colt, Peter Griffin, Ernest Borgnine.

About me: Hello sober Earthlings!
Mane Azeem is.....an Emcee, a poet, a producer, a graphic artists, an actor, a screenwriter, novelist, video game programmer and data bank for entertainment information.
Started rhyming in 1983 after hearing "My Addidas" by Run DMC. The rhythum was too intense to forget, and I found myself freestyling day in and day out in an attempt to reach the ultimate level of mic control.
This goal is, I now find, unobtainable. One can only hope to be a contributor to the Hip Hop movement, but submission can never be made to the rhyme. Music was here from the 1st sounds the universe emitted and shall remain long after the polar ice caps melt....therefore....how can one hope to obtain the secrets of the eternal.
I have been featured in several short films including, "The Rose" , "The Case" & "The Foundations of Funk" as seen on PBS.
Wrote my first novel at the age of 15 entitled "Sam", a glimpse into the mind of a man slowly becoming detached from reality. I am currently in the process of writing my 1,000 plus page novel entitled, "Eyes 4 and I" a horror story about a young mother who gets haunted by the 3 ghosts of her previously aborted children. Spooky shit!
After becoming a fan of AM Talk Radio for years, I have produced several skits and musical pieces for many local Los Angels radio shows. The Terry Anderson Show on 870 KRLA and The Ask Mr. KABC Show on 790 KABC are just a few examples of these works.
After a short stunt as a Quality Assurance Tester for ACTIVISION, I began emulating PS2 titles and creating my own games based on Hip Hop and Samurai Legend.
I have recorded over 375 songs and probably have another 200 that have yet to be recorded.
My first release was a collaboration album for Music Madness Productions entitled "Welcome to the Madness", where I hosted 3 of the hottest songs on the 15 song release.
My next album was another collaboration for EXES ENTERTAINMENT where 4 of my songs were featured. This label was very happy with the success of my singles and immediately signed me to a deal. Thru this deal came my first solo release: Mane Azeem's normaPHOBIA, which is available at Amazon, CDBaby and various other online music stores.
After leaving this chicken-shit little label, I continued to work with Lee Labellarte at AUDIO PICASO STUDIOS in LaHabra (check my friends list for the link), where I recorded and self released my second solo album: Mane Azeem's RAINY DAY SUNSHINE, which did very well for a self release. I have worked with and have songs with such artist as Tommy Gunn, Tenacious D, Beenie Segal, etc.
I am currently working on my next solo release: Mane Azeem's CLAUSTRAfornia, so stay tuned for that.
Over 100 songs of mine are available for free download at www.SoundClick.com/maneazeem.
Yeah...I'd like some money for my talent, but after it's all said and done....a real man keeps true to his passion, whether he's paid for it or not.
Who I'd like to meet: Elvis's barber.
Dean Martin (RIP)

Ten DANK things you can do to help legalize marijuana (in no particular order).
1. Write a letter to a policy maker. This can be local, state or federal level-if we all take the time to do this it makes a huge difference. Take a few minutes to an hour to draft a letter-then once a week take five minutes-send it to a different official, when there is a bill related to marijuana you will have a good base. DANK recommends using a government website or visiting http://www.makepotlegal555.org to find address information for legislators.
2. Encourage others to write their legislators-each time you write to one, pass the name and address around to your like minded friends-get them writing in, too.
3. Volunteer for a Pro-Cannabis event! Look on online, maybe there is one in your area-there are several on the DANKinfo website and at least once volunteer for Seattle Hempfest-you will be impacted in unimaginable ways. For more info: http://hempfest.org/drupal/Volunteers
4. Attend a Pro-Cannabis event! Bring your friends and family members-especially those that would like to be better educated on the drug war and related issues. See the DANKinfo website for a list and once again, I must say (maybe I am biased) at least once in your life attend Seattle Hempfest-the third week of August. See http://www.hempfest.org/drupal for more info. Another good choice is the Global Marijuana March (www.globalmarijuanamarch.org). Check the website for it-there is likely a march planned near you—if not see #9
5. Support organizations such as LEAP, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (http://www.leap.cc/cms/index.php), where the proponents of changing the law are those whom have enforced it and seen the failures first hand. Methods of support include donating, volunteering, passing out fliers, attending events, passing on info, re-posting MySpace bulletins, etc.
6. Donate money to those organizations who are influencing policy change-great examples are NORML (www.norml.org),
FAKE FRiENDS: Call your parents Mr/Mrs REAl FRiENDS: Call your parents DAD/MOM
FAKE FRiENDS: bail you out of jail and tell you what you did was wrong.
REAl FRiENDS: Would sit next to you sayin "Damn ... we fucked up ... but that shit was fun!"
FAKE FRiENDS: never seen you cry.
REAl FRiENDS: cry with you
FAKE FRiENDS: Borrow your stuff for a few days then give it back.
REAl FRiENDS: keep your shit so long they forget its yours.
FAKE FRiENDS: know a few things about you.
REAl FRiENDS: Could write a book about you with direct quotes from you.
FAKE FRiENDS: Will leave you behind if that iswhat the crowd is doing.
REAl FRiENDS: Will kick the whole crowds ass that left you.
FAKE FRiENDS: Would knock on your front door.
REAl FRiENDS: Walk right in and say "I'M HOME!"
FAKE FRiENDS: Are for awhile.
REAl FRiENDS: Are for life.
FAKE FRiENDS: will talk shit to the person who talks shit about you.
REAl FRiENDS: Will knock them the fuck out
FAKE FRiENDS: Would ignore this REAl FRiENDS: Will send this to all there real friends and hope to get it back!
If I dont get this back I understand... I have a game for you. Once you read this letter, you must send it to 14 people that you really care about, including the person that sent it to you.
if you recieve at least 7 back then you are AMAZING"
good looking on the graf props...2008 will include the reunion song. I have spoken to Ski and I am sure you have too. What is your recording / writing schedule like in January?
