Can you all forgive hungry?

First off, We would like to apologize for Hungry? blog hatius status. I would like to apologize to all the soon to be features being held back, also we apologize to all the people we havent gotten to as of yet. Reason for hatius, getting mad material to post and make you all more hungry, lol. We also have been on the road and trying to handle side projects, but we are pleased to tell all of our viewer's, that we are getting enough traffic now even though it has slowed down last week, we are about to start featuring ads. Why, is this great? Hungry? will be buying a domain name as well it means the actual design and actual site for Hungry? Magazine will be ready within a few months. We are also looking for writer's, designers,etc. and ideas to help make Hungry? into the Midwest number 1 blog and soon to be online mag. Also please send anything helpful towards the blog or leads.
Thanks for being a true Hungry? reader,

Hungry Spotlight: The magic man....


Hungrymke?: What's good Dana, how's life treating the MKE/Midwest Legend?


DANA: hahaha I wish I was legend but I’ll take that with open arms... I’m doing good beside the major hangover that’s making my ears ring but yes lovely never the less. In the word of the a-team I love it when a plan comes together and basically that’s been the theme of 09... just got a part time gig flipping burgers hahahaha no for real. You know it’s hard out here for a pimp... I mean I’m just trying to see chinchilla furs before the Mayan calendar ends... feel me?


Hungrymke?: Well for all our "Hungry?" viewer's, "please introduce yourself, yo name is Dana, D to....lmao... Serious tho...?


DANA: yeah Dana d, Dana Dane, Dana stran, Dana coppa, dc , coppa, d cop, it endless... but Dana Coppafeel will do lol.... shit, well for those who don't know me, I’m that dude your girl keep texting when you’re trying to get your cuddle time in. in other words I’m a fixture in the hip-hop scene of Milwaukee. according to some I’m old school and according to others I’m right on time... either way you can't get rid of me.. I’ve been rocking the city since like 93ish. My 1st so called show was with kid millions in high school and he pulled me on stage to rock some freestyles with his group at the time called 3z company... it really was the catalyst that made me realize that rhyming was my calling. After that I joined the rusty pelicans and did a lot of home work... I mean I learned a lot from them guys as far as the formula on how to lay down a foundation. After that it was intel agents a group which I put together with some rookie talent. We made a lot of noise in Madison Milwaukee and Chicago area for the 3 years we were a group. While recently King Hell Bastard and the house of m we've been stirring up the pot cooking that good shit. All in all I’m just that south side white dude who raps...hahaha


Hungrymke?: Man give these youngster's some knowledge about your incredible underground but major career?


DANA: ummmmm watch out for stds.... hahaha seriously.. I don't even think about as a career it’s more like a hobby that I get paid to do every now and then... hahaha oh man... just because something is underground don't mean its automatic fresh and because something is main stream don't mean it automatic bad... just be what your about and keep true to yourself. This music thing is not easy at all. It’s just that people who are good at it make it look easy. Breath control and mic control are the key... oh yeah rapping with your homie is way different then rocking a show or recording in the studio... just because you kick a few lines every time your drunk does not = emceeing. Sorry about the rant just a lil advice if you chose to follow it... But I’ve rock the van's warp tour a few years in a row back in 02, 03... I’ve been in the studio with MAS PYKE, SLEEP, GRAY SKULL, the CREST, SADAT X, BREEZ EVAFLOWIN, the PHARCYDE just to name a few.. I’ve dropped about 3 12-inch on vinyl, about 6 mixtapes, been featured on countless cds across the nation. I had a small distro deal with TRS out of san fran... ummmm I’ve put out about 6 cds with my groups King Hell Bastard and intel agents. I’m working on 3 different cds as we speak with King Hell Bastard, the house of m and a solo album as well. I’ve booked a few independent national tours for the last 2 years for King Hell Bastard. I’ve been a part of this scene since 95... Plus name some one I haven't opened for... I’ve open for NAS, COMMON, the PHARCYDE, SADAT X, MR. LIF, R.A. the RUGGED MAN, all of HEIRO, LIVING LEGENDS, DE LA SOUL, RED MAN, LUDACRIS, DIGITAL UNDERGROUND I mean list goes on and on...


Hungrymke?: Hey, since we shooting shit, honestly why do you feel "MKE isn't on and why the Midwest can't pull a strong movement together as one?


DANA: 1st people are dumb, jealous, and a victim to the so called hate disease these are the 3 main reasons... nobody wants to be on the side line everybody wants to be Jordan. you know? People think they can come off the bench and score without putting in the work... like why should I stretch to get in the game when I am the game... people in the mid west think the music thing happens overnight... I mean nobody is willing to back one another, and you can see it in Milwaukee a lot... no one is willing to help one another. It’s all about check out my man he spit fire give him a show. I’m like why don't you book your own show put in the work... nobody gave me shit in the Milwaukee scene I had to work for it and I respect the worker. Everybody wants their turn at the same time... but I will say this, the scene in Milwaukee has came along way no doubt about it... one more thing I really dislike is the whole you’re a hater thing. It’s like people give me music all the time to listen to and then ask me "yo was you feeling it"? Sometimes I’m not feeling it... then all the sudden I’m the hater cus I’m not relating to your stuff. like I’m the scape goat and you put all the responsibility on me cus you make crappy music. I want you to make good music so I don't have to listen to junk. People just have to learn to take criticisms. Just cus you made it don't mean its fresh...


Hungrymke?: No, disrespect but after all these year's in the game/life what are you still hungry for and why?


DANA: it was never really a hunger for me in the beginning it was more like I love music. I’ve always loved music with that being said I just suck at playing instruments... when I was young my mom took me to some short lived guitar lesson and well I sucked... I really tried I remember telling her on like the 3rd lesson that she should save her money... for me the hunger came a lot later when I start to see that people were really feeling what I was doing so it made me want to make better music and hone my skills. Even right now it’s more like I could care less what people think. I do this cuz its the love of my life.. It makes me feel whole...I know lame. But that the truth I never thought people would get into what I’m doing the way it’s been happening lately. I’m like nas in my second childhood and every kid has a healthy appetite. I credit it all to love...


Hungrymke?: Hey so what next in your career, man you damn near done it all on an underground level.


DANA: clothing maybe do some graphic designing for tee and hoodies.. I got some KHB 59FIFTY from new era I’m waiting to get back sometime in soon which I designed. So I think that is the next move and more music no doubt like Gwen...


Hungrymke?: What's your favorite thing about your city and what it lacks?


DANA: my favorite thing about the city is the food no doubt... I love the whole Milwaukee pride thing too. I mean people really rep the city hard. The art scene is just amazing as well as the Graff scene is real dope. the thing its lack is dope venues there is really not enough of them in Milwaukee and the ones we do have are all in the same area... the city lacks a lot common knowledge about its self and what I mean is that its mad segregated. The last thing I really dislike about the city is that everybody is a rapper or a C.E.O. of a make believe record label or some shit like that... so you have to filter out a lot of bull shit to find the true gems...


Hungrymke?: Hey this may be crazy to ask but is it true all Wisconsinites love cheese? LoL....


DANA: hahaha cheese makes it better... you are what you eat and I eat emcees so sprinkle a lil cheese on'em and I’m good to go... so I going to say yes... Hungrymke?: Hey what's your discography like and your hardest effort/best album to you? DANA: hahaha damn I wish I could remember everything... I give kinda of a break down the more important ones...
