just wanted to drop in and say hi. also, i wanted to clear up the fact that i'm not half russian. i don't know where people get their facts (probably on the internet, where rumor might as well be fact, hahaha). but i'm half japanese and half...american, i guess. my mom's family is a mix of a ton of different things. a lot of it is european, and there's a little native american in there. but that side of my family has been in the US forever, so i just call it american to keep it simple.

on another note, Where'd You Go is still doing really well. thanks to everyone who is supporting FM and the song--keep voting and calling to get the song to the top of whatever countdown you like to listen to or watch.

i'm going to the studio to meet with LP and rick today. we're working on that new LP album...talk to you later.

PS - did you see that we're closing in on the myspace top ten?

That's because "Where'd" you go is by far my favorite song. I've heard it over 45 times, and only knew it existed after hearing it on the radio, Friday night! Top ten here you come!

Fort Minor= TOO LEGIT! hahaha

That is too funny.....the things that ppl will come up with. And, if they were as obsessed with you and the bands as I am, they'd know they were so crazy for thinking that.....lol. I love you! You are my fave artist of all time. You, FM, and LP......I hope one day to get to meet you again. I love all that you all do. In my town they are FINALLY playing Where'd You Go. Thank goodness I bought the CD right after it came out, or I'd never known how awesome it was til now (how sad :( to be deprived of your genius talent). Hoping one day to see you and meet you as a fellow artist. I am working on getting there myself. You are one of my inspirations! Love ya!!

i never even heard that you were part Russian, haha. Congrats on the success of "Where'd You Go"! That's been one of my favorite FM songs ever since i first got the cd, and i'm excited to see it doing well! I heard it on the radio here last night, on a station that predominately plays top 40 pop/hip-hop type of stuff. Like, it'd be expected to hear it on an alternative rock station just because you're a member of Linkin Park, but to hear it on a station that only plays ONE Linkin Park song ("In The End") is great. It shows that people really do take notice that it isn't alternative rock. It's hip-hop, and if a person listening to a song on an alternative station heard one song and decided to buy the album and didn't like it, that would suck. Anyway, good luck in the studio! Can't wait for the new LP album!

OMG! OMG! OMG! DANG! IS THAT REALLY U BACK ALREADY? I'M SO EXCITED THAT U & THE REST OF LP IS FINALLY BACK IN THE STUDIO CREATING MUSIC & DOIN WHAT ALL OF U DO BEST!!! I AM STILL A GOOD & LOYAL FAN TO U, to LP, to CHESTER (uhhh...I guess in a less obsessive kind of way. I've recently been put back in my proper place, ...as a fan who supports {by purchase and appearance} and still admires from a respectful distance, in light of recent events...no more jumping and screaming for me insanely lol), ETC. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU & REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT ALBUM/CD & VIDEOS!!!

yes, I thought you were half russian -.- ...heh. Where'd You Go is a really popular song in my area, it's on the radio a LOT! it's really really good. I got some stuff from the street team (even though I'm online o.O) so now maybe people will actually know Where'd You Go is played by Fort Minor! yes! this is good! :)

This reminds me of when you corrected that "bio" on the LPU

Anyway, it's exciting to hear that you guys are back in the studio. I've been looking forward to hearing new material ever since you announced that Rick Rubin was the producer. :D (His early work with Def Jam really shaped my views on hip hop.)

Thanks for dropping by. :)

HAHAHAHAHA.
Who was teh idiot who said you're Russian...I'll clearly bitchslap 'em if you wanted me too.
MUHAHAHAHA. Mr. Bobo's traits are gettin' to me. We make evil laughs a lot in his thread. :)

I PROMOTE TO DEVOTE. THAT'S MY LINE. PROMOTE, DEVOTE.
I've been doin' lotsa promo stuff for Holly, Lupe and FM.
Yeah WYG's doin' great. My peeps love it. It's especially a great song
during this time. My anniversary of my beloved grandfather's death,
and recently a dear teacher at our school died. She was a nice homeroom teach last year.
"WHERE'D YOU GO? I MISS YOU SO.", I sang to myself a bit in gym class all alone.

VOTE, VOTE, VOTE BIATCHESSSS!!! :D

LP album will be teh shiz. I just hope
them haters come back to me again.
OR ELSE I'LL KICK THEIR ASSES WITH SOME SHINODA KUNG-FU!
Hiyaaaaaaaaaaah!!! By the way, in Social Studies we're learnin' about
your Japanese side of your heritage. Very interesting. KENJI...my new favorite word
is SHOGUN. A power Japanese general. Imma sucha dorkkk.

-MUCHO LOVE,
EVA. X_x

*roflmao*...I've heard that one a couple of times already...and I even read that you're supposed to be a distant relativ of Tschaikowsky (? did I spell that correct? *wonders*) *rofl* I just can't imagine anybody to honestly believe that you're half russian ^^
but I know some other ''facts'' that sound much worse...*shakes head in disbelief*...seems as if there are some reeeeeeeeally bored people out there...or why should anybody make up all that sh**??

Happy Mike, if we were to believe everything that we read on the internet, I'm pretty sure that a lot of us would be in deep shit right now for not forwarding along all those chain letters, right? LOL. Anyway, even if you WERE half Russian instead of being a half Japanese, half All American Mutt, you would still be a great emcee, songwriter, musician and spit out some of the greatest rhymes that continue to pleasantly shock and surprise the hell out of us! So keep that flow going, Happy Mike, you never fail to amaze your fans!

Make sure you kill us with this new LP disc, too, with the tight rhymes, singing, guitar playing, keyboards, etc. and DAMN am I envious of you that you're getting a chance to work with one of the greatest producers ever, the one and only Rick Rubin. No wonder you're always so happy, Happy Mike. You make some of the best music that has come out in decades, plus, you not only got to work with Hova on the FM disc, now you're getting to work with Rubin, too? Man, if your life was all a dream up until this point, I bet you'd probably be Unhappy Mike if someone were to pinch you awake! LMAO

~ Danyiel, that crazy chick from Philly who is 75% Irish, 12.5% German and 12.5% Native American (Reppin' the Blackfoot Tribe...yeah, I know most of y'all never heard of it, but now you do). ~

PS - I hadn't been checking the MySpace Top 10, but since you mentioned it, I will as soon as I post this reply. Congrats to all of us: to Happy Mike for being one of the most humble musicians in the biz who takes the time to communicate with us, the fans...and to us, the fans, for doing our part in spreading the word and keeping Fort Minor climbing towards the top! We're all winners in this situation, no matter what nationalities we are :-).

PSS: Word on the net is that you are...well, how can I say this without sounding overly offensive? LOL...Put it to you this way, it has something to do with you being VERY well endowed in a certain area of your body, and I'm not talking about how big your feet are, either!! LMFAO

OK, I'll stop now, I had totally forgotten to add that in while I was typing up my reply, and I doubt that you'll dispel that tidbit of info as internet myth, I just thought you'd find it funny.

Tell the guys in LP I said "Yo!" (WTF did you expect me to say? I'm from Philly damnit...LOL) and that I'm looking forward to your upcoming album, co-produced by the man, himself, Rick Rubin!! Kill us with this next disc...I know you can and will, but I just felt like saying that anyway.
