"[ Gotta Get Mine You Gotta
Get Yours".
fter such recent charges,
such as shooting the Atlanta
cops, an accusation of a -
saulting a limo driver, as­
saulting a film director and
being caught with a loaded
gun, it seems Topac is waiting
for someone to shout "Cut."
Yo, Tupac, wake up! This
isn't "Thug Life". This is real
life.
Wi th all the energy and
power Tupac obviously pos­
sesses, imagine the construc­
tive things he could do if he
mixed a little intelligence into
his vitality.
Maybe what members of
the Black community are
wishing is that the young
Black men who make it in the
world will hold up to their
responsibility of being true to
themselves and to their com­
munity. Maybe fame changes
all of that. But it is an obvious
.sign of trouble when the kids
start to accept the behavior.
"I'm mad at him in a way,"
Vaqu z said. "He's a tar al­
ready and he's going to go out
and 0 something stupid?
But I won't stop buying his
r ords. It h no hing to do
with him. I just lik th mu­
sic."
Hey Tupac, holler if you
hear this. This i r al lif .

That D.J. with the lightning fast hands. Well
wonder no more, he's none other than award
winningD.J. Anthoney Fowlera.k.a. D.J. Nabs.
Nabs came to the attention of multi platinum
record producer Jermaine Dupri while hosting
the top rated "Saturday Night Jam" mix show
on radio station V -103 in Atlanta.
Dupri immediately recognized that Nabs
could add another dimension to the Kris Kross
stage act and signed him as their DJ. Nabs likes'
to be known as a turntable instrumentalist, ·1
can create a thousand different sounds from
just one record". and with his custom-designed
technique 1200 turntables Nabs can cut,
scratch, blend, mix, and even back-cue records
to create new sounds that boggle th imagina­
tion. Nabs has traveled around the world doing
tv & stage shows with Kris Kross for ov r 2
years now,"! am very grateful to Jermaine and
Kris Kross for giving me the break to show the
world what I can do with my turntables"
But it does'ent stop there, Nabs is featured
with his own cut on Kris Kross's new multi
platinum album "Da Bomb" called D.J. Nabs
break. Nabs has also done many remix for
other recording acts including Arrested Devel­
opment's top ten single "Tennessee" and is now
getting into the producing end of the busin
He is co-producing the new rap act "Snoman"
on the conqu t records label owned by singer
Curtis Mayfield, and· is featured on the new
sony music album by singer Dion Ferris, a
also plans to produce an original album b
exclusively on the concept of the "turntabl
instrumentalist", sort of like what Herbie H n­
cock did with the turntable featured top ten hit
Rock-It back in the 19 0' .
Nabs gives props to tho e dj's who blazed the
way like D.J. Jazzy Jeff and Grand Mas r
Flash. aOO is now on tour overseas and says
D.J. NABS
that "even if wax gets obsolete, I will still have
my turntabl and my mixer right beside my cd
player and other digital instruments; mixing
and sc tching i like rap ... it' here to stay",
And from the looks of hi current success, so is
D.J. a .1
