Flying to Frankfurt

So it’s official…the business is taken care of and I’m off to Bremen via Frankfurt to cover for my buddy Donell Jones, thereby saving the reputation of my friend Maik Bose. The “drama” that I’m referring to in this clip is a young lady on our flight who was flying for the first time and very explicitly cursed out a flight attendant who (in her opinion) did not empathize enough with the anxiety of her situation:

The real question remains…Since the Transportation Security Administration prohibits having items on board that are seemingly harmless but may be used as weapons - the so-called “dual use” items…why serve us with real stainless steel forks and knives? Our disgruntled passenger could have really hurt somebody…

    I agree with you Ryan! That is mad crazy that they gave ya’ll real silverware! What is the world coming to! Being in the military that bugs me, and that is one of the main reasons for me getting out, they don’t care! I got out of the Air Force in August of 2001 & then Sept. 11th happened!!!! Crazy, just gots to be more careful when traveling! FOR REAL~ Hey Ryan I will be in NYC next weekend… Is there any NextSelection venues going on? Or something that I will allow me that “real-life Next Selection” experience… Let me know. I will be there from the 20th - the 22nd for my b-day! Let ur girl know!

    hehe, the paradoxic of the politician adjudication.

  7. lisa:

    it’s nice of you to do all this, but do you think your friend appreciates you publicizing his tough situation and posting his message online? good friends do favors without glorifying themselves in the process. You may have saved your friend’s reputation, but does the world need to know?

    I’m a huge fan of your music and of this blog, but I would honestly expect more from both a professional and a friend.

  8. Precious P.:

    Lisa, u really think Ryan would post Maiks message w/o checking with him first? C’mon, Maik Bose surely reads this blog too on a regular basis, so Ryan is pro enough to know to check with people about what to publish and respecting their privacy.

  9. Soundtheory:

    Big up to Ryan Leslie - We first broke his record on my radio-station before anyone else had “CHERI” track “I LOVE YOU” was wicked.

  14. Yani:

    What’s up Seantre? This is a female songwriter, rapper, music composer & producer by the name of Erica Johnson. I just posted my first completed production and you can check it out at www.soundclick.com/ericalanae. I’ve been interesting in taking my ideas in music to the next level and last week, I finally did, by producing my first track. This was done with Reason and it was a fun first effort with the intentions to complete a track.

    My history in music expands from brasilian samba to hip hop, I love all music, but hip hop and soundtrack work have my heart right now. I got an ear for music and a heart for songwriting.

    I wish you the best SEANTRE, but you need to know that there is another one of US out there. Holla and check out my Soundclick at the above link. I will soon have my website up and I also have an ACIDPlanet site and a MySpace Music that I am working on. I will check out your MySpace also. Once again, good luck with everything.

    Oh, Ryan Leslie, I like your style, keep it up!

  24. Daniel W. Maxwell:

    I would have to disagree Erica Lanae.
    My statement is clearly not directed to your artistic integrity.
    But it is directed to a statement that you made about Missy.
    Missy Elliott does produce. Timbo clearly produces a lot of Missy’s tracks but she has added her flavor of beatmaking into a lot of her work; in addition she contributed/distributed various productions to many people in her record label Gold Mind Inc as well as top flight industry names such as Trina. She brought out 702 and teamed up with so many people its not funny. Just had 2 let that be known.
    Ryan, that plane ride looks fun. You motivate me, Sir!-
    Keep it pimpin!-

  25. DJ:

    Real silverwear. lol You a fool man.

  26. Fernina:

    I like that…….and ur personality. Keep doing wonderful things(and making people smile).

  28. Brian Mora:

    Hey Ryan!
    Congratulations on your recent foreign trips!
    Your rising acclaim is well deserved. Great performance always attracts greater audiences—great talent keeps that audience.
    And you my friend have a way of doing both.

    Versality & Personality is the Key! Oh yea, that is a shout out.
