Here’s a new track from goon Plies titled “Becky”, his ode to oral sex. I can see it now, n*ggas are going to be walkin’ around telling chicks “Give me that Becky!”

On your mouth or on yo leg/ Man down, I am dead/Suck no dick can’t get in my bed/ Heard me right that’s what I said/Drop that spit right on that head/Squeeze that meat and hit that head/I’m on this liquor oh so heavy/Fo we f*ck can you neck me/Little head and I am ready/I want yo vibe/ Give me that Becky.

THINGS THEY SAY: PLIES TO ADVOCATE FOR INMATES

After being reunited with his brother Ronell “Big Gates” Levatte who just finished a three year bid in a Florida state prison for his involvement in a shooting at a nightclub in 2006, goon of all goons Plies is determined to use his music to expose the injustices of the American justice system. Plies promises to use his voice to bring to the forefront the struggles of people locked up in the pen. He says,

“I think it’s (publicly addressing the prison system) important. (My brother and I) talked a long time yesterday and… he gave it to me in the simplest form possible. He said, ‘Behind that wall, there’s more people who are suffering, struggling, disappointed, sincerely hurting.’ “People will never understand it unless you are a part of that system… It’s a lot of pain and struggle that they go through. My new vow that I made to myself is that regardless of my situation and my fame, that’s something that’s always gonna be a part of me and my responsibility to do everything I can to make sure that those people’s voices behind those walls live on. I’ll always be a representation of them”.

Glad to hear Plies is taking the iniative to do something positive! But, he’s not off the hook for that ignorant “Goonette” reality series he’s trying to push.

3. A Woman Who Is Able To Overcome Trials And Tribulations Set Before Her With Style And Grace.
4. Female Hustler.
5. A Survivor.

PLIES PERFORMS IN NYC FOR THE 1ST TIME!

LexAve — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 21:16:02 +0000

Plies aka Goon hit NYC extra hard yesterday. He held a special album listening session at the Atlantic Records office, which we weren’t invited to but loser LowKey (j/k) was there. And later that night he performed at the Knitting Factory to courtesy of Vibe and Myspace to celebrate his first-ever VIBE cover for the magazine’s December 2008 issue.
Though I arrived late assuming the joint will be running on BP time, access was extra smooth. Gena from P2050 held ya gurl down, VIP wrist bands, press pass, wings, wraps…the whole nine, except for free drinks *boo!*. After being outta commission for a while, I got the battery in the back and got the talking with The Real Dudes, Prezzure, Elliot Wilson, Brian Miller, Sowmya and a few other folks. Holding conversations about “what’s the big deal about Plies?” to blogtalk to corporate talk with the Real Dude & Elliot W., it was turning out to be a good night. The second Plies walked in the VIP area, it was all work, whipped out the Casio and got the snappin. Vibe Magazine’s EIC, Danyel Smith, was completely smitten with 5’2” rapper, surely it was all for the flashing lights. Peep the flicks below…

After working the media and posing for the flicks, Plies headed back stage to prep for his set, while FunkFlex and DJ Cipha Sounds warmed up the crowd. And as predicted like in true BP time manner, Plies hit the stage around 10pm originally scheduled for 9pm. As the crowd was wild out to his few commercial hits like “Shawty” and “Bust It Baby”, I was up in the balcony fiending for the set to finish so I can get home at a decent hour…I’ve been up since 5:30am, can you really blame me? And not to mention, I’ve never been a Plies stan…hell I’m still scratching my head at his Vibe December cover. As the minutes rolled by, I got a little introspect into the southern rapper…he’s very grateful. Many times looking up to the sky as if calling for the one almighty to repeatedly thanking his fans for giving him a shot, especially in NY. Guess its true what they say “If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere!” Overall, despite his goonish talk…he’s got a soft spot- not on some Kanye mess…but extremely grateful! We’ll what December 16th delivers for Plies as his third album Da Realist drops.

Oh yeah and as for checking for time, I got home at 11:30pm…=SUCCESS!

“BUST IT BABY” PLIES COVERS VIBE MAGAZINE…

LexAve — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 17:29:13 +0000

Vibe magazine is going out on limb declaring Plies as the future of rap in their December issue. In a one-on-one interview with VIBE Senior Editor Benjamin Meadows-Ingram, Plies reveals why he considers himself the “realest” rapper in the game:

Plies discuses how his 2006 arrest on weapons charges changed his views on the life: “I thought I knew what ‘real’ really meant, in terms of what the streets call real…I honestly thought that what the streets called real was legit.”

Plies responds to the criticism he’s received from other rap artists: “People don’t allow themselves to be honest with themselves until you’re no longer a threat…I don’t concern myself with anyone who’s not coming to my funeral.”

The December 2008 issue also features an exclusive interview with R&B superstar Brandy, providing the first look into her life after her fatal car accident and a four-year hiatus from the spotlight.

“I really didn’t know what to do. I was in limbo for a long time,” she says of the tragedy. “I didn’t go outside for months.”

Brandy also talks about reuniting with long-time producer Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins as well her relationship with ex-husband Robert Smith and her baby girl.
Another highlight of the December issue is a one-on-one with R&B star Maxwell, where he talks about his 7 year hiatus and the pending release of his latest project strong>Black Summer’s Night. Vibe also takes a look at the life and tragic death of music producer Stephen “Static/Major” Garrett.
Be sure to cop the new issue, hitting stands November 18th!
