Ryan, Do you ever go to the Village Underground??? Danity Kane performed there!! Hit me up on myspace.com/ladylucknetta
Monday, November 20th, 2006 at 12:17 pm
I think the guy rapping had good flow and I would listen to him. Ryan, its refreshing to see in a world that’s sometimes fake, that your still on the “normal” people’s level.
Monday, November 20th, 2006 at 12:18 pm

If Ryan Leslie is looking for someone or if ANYONE A%R or producer is looking for someoen to sign let me kno.
Monday, November 20th, 2006 at 12:55 pm
This rapper has very good skills, and I’m sure he’d do a good job if you’d help him to gain fame. It’s good to see that you take time to see what happens in the street, because it has lots and lots of good surprises.
Take care R,
Kai
Monday, November 20th, 2006 at 1:21 pm
hey ryan!! i think dude was good i would buy his cd !! well keep doin wut u doin boo
Monday, November 20th, 2006 at 1:39 pm
Real stuff. Too bad BAD Boy weren’t workin for Cassie but bout noticin young life with talent, realstuff. It’s good to get a bit of a reminder where we came from. Without a solid foundation, we’re nothin. Today I’m celebrating my gift of life. Have a Bomb Thanksgiving (AKA National Native American Day of Mourning
Monday, November 20th, 2006 at 2:05 pm
I love you Ryan!! Great stuff!!
16yr old.. how cute… You can make anyone into a star…
You are an inspiration..
Stay amazingx

Because HIS music May, IN FACT, corrupt the minds of True Christians and God’s Children, I say that he shall not enter into the industry to do so. All do respect for the talent, but NO ONE is to corrupt the minds of God’s Children. Keep that NextSelection Movement the NextSelection Movement. God Bless.
Monday, November 20th, 2006 at 3:48 pm
I feel that he is blessed with a talent, but I feel that if he were given the opportunity, he would in fact CURRUPT minds. Some of innocents & some of direct evil over evil. I believe that if he gets into the word of GOD, which is the “Holy Bible,” He could change the face of the industry. That is developement of a developement. God Bless that young man & the NextSelection Movement. God Bless!
Monday, November 20th, 2006 at 4:30 pm
Say word you be out there just lookin for talent.
I was a few blocks away after i got off work and i just stopped by that Virgin record store also and i woulda noticed you on the spot. I woulda let my singing do the talkin and try to get my foot in on the NextSelection team…
If you gonna be just walkin in manhattan lookin for talent…look out for me!

The kid is nice he has rhymes, hunger and he’d be a good mixtape rapper but can he make a song? Writting a dope 16 is different element than crafting a song with 3 verses and a hook.
Its nice to see Ryan keeping it real and keeping his ear to the street and not having a ton of bodyguards around.
Monday, November 20th, 2006 at 9:12 pm
HOW Refreshing!!!
Staying hungry is what produces the BEST work. Now-a-day people want to floss and be pretty (male or female), it’s like they’re too “rich” to really poor their heart out on a beat. Stay hungry, produce good music and the streets will relate, they’ll stay hungry for you!

That’s cool that u got a 16 year old to rap and to let you think about something but in the chi-town my cousin good also.come and check it out
Tuesday, November 21st, 2006 at 7:36 am

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006 at 7:37 am
anyone can tell me then leave a message on this page ok?
Tuesday, November 21st, 2006 at 3:43 pm
What’s good Ryan? I really enjoyed this video. It showed how down to earth you really are. I respect the fact you took the time out to listen to the rapper on the street, I wish more producers were as humble as you. I hope that rapper gets a chance to chat with you. Your myspace is always filled with omments. Hopefully he’ll reach you & maybe I will too.lol Peace & god bless!

comments is what I meant.lol sorry:D
Tuesday, November 21st, 2006 at 6:55 pm
That’s was cold…i liked that! But what makes a guy like him on your block different from a guy on my block…just a thought…but I liked him. Stay humble…talent is right on your doorstep. I respect the hustle! NS4Life! It’s A Lifestyle!
Tuesday, November 21st, 2006 at 8:21 pm
At least the rapper didn’t have STAGE FRIGHT LMAO
Tuesday, November 21st, 2006 at 9:50 pm
LOL stage fright?? Not if you’re wearing a Sign..
I like real shit.. Let’s me know that you have a heart in there somewhere.. Most industry folk could give a shit about one rapper out of a million.. Are you really looking for just a rapper or a partner?
Buttafly >G.
Tuesday, November 21st, 2006 at 10:52 pm
Man that was nice and he could spit you should do somthing wit him…..o yea i can sing and i do mean it i can really sang
Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006 at 1:35 pm
He was okay, not as good as you could find if you come out to Philadelphia. There is so much hip hop talent out here that they should consider changing the name to Rilladelphia (joke) but back to the rapper, out here there are so many good rappers that I don’t know where to start, But there is this one exceptional guy named Reed Dollaz- myspace.com/ReedDollaz he is only 19 and is crazy good. Or check out anyone from Head Shots this is a hip hop company started by a young afro american guy who has really given alot of the rappers in philly a time to shine so if your looking for inspiration come to philly look me up and I’ll show you where to go. SMOOCHES!!

Thursday, November 23rd, 2006 at 6:08 pm

Thursday, November 23rd, 2006 at 10:00 pm
R.L. He can spit , need more sting to his flow but was workable!!! N E way Cassie would have had her music& face all over da place if I was there!! Promo Promo can’t be slow-motion Bornsweetone~

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006 at 11:46 am
How about a Caribbean link ???
Tuesday, November 28th, 2006 at 11:52 am
Yow u would be amazed at the amount of hidden talent there is in the caribbean region. It ’s a dam shame that pple just look for the same shit in the same places all the time. I’m talking raw untouched talent that can just be molded to your liking. Explore beyond your boundaries. Look into it . Trust that you would be the first to put your hand in that Cookie Jar.

The kid sounded good, but like what’s been mentioned earlier, a song has to have a bit more, for it to be remembered.

I just wanted to say that I do not listen to much R&B but your album is amazing. Most albums only have a couple of good songs but every song is awesome. Also, your pictures for the FHM/France magazine are incredible. You are so beautiful. Keep the good work and I will keep buying your albums.

U being a celebrity, and me being a normal working 19 year old, makes it hard 4 u to understand that i want to be your friend.(nothing more)Im behind you 100% and i hope i can meet you oneday. May God continue guiding you in the right direction, and I love you.(dont ever forget me Cassie) Leave me a message on myspace and let me know that u got this message please. KEEP IN TOUCH FRIEND.
