Fonzworth Freestyle
Derek “Mr. Bentley” Watkins is signed to Kanye West’s label, and has been a friend since I played “Hot 2nite” for the first time at Bad Boy in 2003. He’s in New York polishing off his solo effort and stopped thru to catch a vibe. There were quite a few people over, including Tiesha (a new blogger on NS4Life), UneSS (his voice is on the ad-libs in this clip), Ben Garcia (Cassie’s booking agent at Wilhelmina), and many more…
The song he’s freestyling over is yet another Cassie work-in-progress.

[…] Our regularly scheduled Reachback is for today is postponed until tomorrow due to the the sheer entertainment value of this clip capturing the extraordinarily talented Mr. Bentley and his violin. […]

Wow, Mr. Bentley has come a very long way. He’s very energetic and I am interested what he has to offer on his solo project. Right about now I’m all ears to music. Do your thing Mr. Bentley, I had no idea you could rap. It’s pretty good from what I am hearing so far! *5 thumbs up +*

ok first of all hes WACKKKKK(fonzworth)…and he’s gay..and yes is does make a difference.and half of the industry is gay so this is not surprising. just look at kanye west video its mass confusion..touch the sky just says you cant except me for(being gay)….(black women) i will go to the other side(white women)and they will execept it ;they did when “in ROME”.we are about to see the repeats of a perverted time.just tune into starr and buckwild this week,hes talking about ROME.

Derek “Mr. Bentley” Watkins is signed to Kanye West’s label ??? So Fonsworth is getting signed to Kanye? So i gotta ask, is fonsworth about to do something serious material in the close future ?

uhm… i’ve heard a few songs from cassie so fare and i really do enjoy it - im really excited about “Cassies’ Club Ballad”…. but as a dancer i probably wanna hear something more energetic, with more attitude. Those songs arent going to make me loose it in the club, its kinda reminds me of Ciara and Teairra Mari… i miss the vocal ability and the beats to really get me of my feet.
Overall, I think the Next Selection can do it, ’cause the R’n'B sound is amazing, ive seen the Cassies Club Ballad more than ten times already today. Keep doing your thing and im curious what the result is going to be like.
Just a simple soul trying to give you some constructive critism here

That freestyle was way below average, however you do have skills with that Violin so I give you props for that.
Tuesday, July 4th, 2006 at 3:38 am
Bentley is mad cool but that freestyle was whack.
Monday, July 31st, 2006 at 3:32 pm
hey ryan, how can i send my own track to u??
Monday, July 31st, 2006 at 9:43 pm
I love Cassie’s single. That’s an undeniable hit. I sing myself and have some experience in the studio. You should check me out. Do you have any advice on how to get music (demos) out to record labels or how to get a good manager? Or…would you be interested???
Tuesday, August 1st, 2006 at 8:15 am
