Category: Life
I wish I had the patience to write a full blog on the tour im just home from, all the experiences, how each day was so different and random, how long and exciting it was, how shocking and expensive it became etc etc...but i dont. sorry...

So instead here is 10 of my favorite(or maybe just stand out) moments or memories from 'The Beautiful People Tour 07''(Prozack Turner and Dj Flip, and Filthy Rich) honorable mention goes here to T-Murder the camera man famous for his extremely Bigdick who made the trip also. Props Terrence.

Like my life this list is no particular order.

Number 10.  - Chillin in tha Blue Lagoon

Swimming the Blue Lagoon Iceland was crazy, for those who dont no its a geothermal spa outside which was created from a lava formation...i think....anyway to explain better its a surreal outdoor lake type atmosphere buzz where the water is full of sulpher and is so steamy you cant see the person a few meters away from you - apologies any women i may have accidentally bumped into. Never saw anything like it. Iceland overall was dope, great people there...

Number 9 - Poland aka Pukeland

We had a day off before we left Poland, already hungover from partying night before and the 20nights before that we went to a bar for one quiet drink. nobody quite nos how it happened but 2hours later we had polished off(like what i did there?) 2-3 full bottles of Krupnik, their traditional Honey Vodka,a fair few pints of beer, strawberry liqueur and some other shite between 4 of us. The rest of this story is told better by someone who wasn't running around the streets of Poland at 6pm on a Monday screaming, singing, jumping on the back of vans, falling down a flight of steps, abusing local girls, puking nd getting thrown out a pub and even refused from the Irish bar. Apologies Poland. My head hurt the following morning.(as did T-Murders )

Number 8. Transylvanian street fight

Last October I played on Friday 13th a few mins away from Dracula's Castle, and nothing fucking happened to me. This time on the night before the gig me and Zack decided to have a few quiet drinks together, chatting bout life and ish and minding our own business, i was really enjoying the night. We drank Jack Daniels and watched a boxing Fight on a widescreen in the pub, we both enjoyed greatly how the small opponent who looked like he was gunna loose for certain stood proud against the other giant and kicked his fucking ass in the end.....when walking back to our hotel we got in a situation where there were 5 stocky drunk Romanians with glass bottles wanting to smash our faces in...if your interested in how this story ends check Zacks blog on his page www.myspace.com/prozackturner ...trust me youl be entertained!!!!!!

Number 7. Camping in Croatia

I was so shocked at how beautiful Croatia is. Il be back...

Anyway, we headed up the coast, broke but still smiling(for me touring wasn't cheap, yea i got a small fee for my trouble but i was spending 24/7.) equipped with a tent, we were sick of 5star hotels, screaming female fans and the press outside em so we wanted to mix it up abit, u no how we do. *cough*. Got there, chilled in sun on beach and decided to head back to city to get drunk and a hostel. crazy but this big city had only 2 hotels and one hostel which were booked out, we decided to stick to our original plan of camping. after trekking for a spot for hours  debating where the fuck we could pitch a tent in the middle of a city our options were in the graveyard behind the massive church that had errie freaky candles burning beside each grave or break into the museum grounds near the police station and kip. We choose the latter, set up a tent in the dark at 3am and finally settled in for some well needed sleep. Instantly we were approached  by a Bulgarian junkie rapist looking muthafucka with 3 teeth and torn clothes walking slowly towards our zipped tent his shadow growing larger each step taken. we each grabbed our weapon of choice, mine being a tent pole which i was ready to dent his forehead with and after 5mins of him grilling us and asking for stuff(him and his friend were asleep together in the bush beside us no joke) we made the educated choice to undo my tent pitching skills and fuck off somewhere else where there was just your average murderer type sleeping.. I can total the amount of hours sleep we got on tour on my two hands...

Number 6.   The Shows

This was a music tour which i was honored to be part of so the highlight for me was always going to be something musical. A major highlight was playing in Berlin, Germany somewhere I have always wanted to visit. It was early on in the tour and I not only got to share the stage with Prozack who has been one of my favorite Emcees since i fisrt heard him a few years back, but also Brother Ali from Ryhmesayers Entertainment who im a major fan of. It was an incredible show by both Brother Ali who went on after me and then Prozack Turner after that, about 300 people crammed into the venue and was a real eye opener/progress report for me personally that i must be doing something right to have the opportunity. Also hearing Prozack say my name live on the track he did with J-Dilla sent a shiver down my back,  ' I no my friends and without them this could never be, i love you Dj Flip Filthy Rich.....' improvised from the original.
...cheers Zack :)
Was also glad at how the main home show in Crawdaddy went performance wise, im glad i murdered my set! Personally and I had a duty for Flip. My Da showed up too unexpected in the front row which was pretty special for me.

Number 5. Copenhagen Denmark

Copenhagen Most Blunted crew were the homies. In true Smokhagen fashion we were greated with a healthy bag of weed and a clean hotel room, we had time to kick it and make good friends, see the city, do a dope show and fall in love with the local women! Well Flip anyway! Getting treated proper on road made the tour so much better and easier for all involved, great hosts. Never laughed so much as when me and flip absolutely wasted, eyes burning red had to order and wait ages for 2 McFluurys in a McDonalds que, guess u had to be there but couldnt quit laughing that dope is the shit.

Number 4. Hotels in Switzerland

Thinking back we had 2 strange experiences in the Hotels we stayed in Switzerland, both involving excessive amounts of alcohol. The first was in a hotel that was above the strangest pub ive been in, how i picture an American bar to be(or how there portrayed in films anyway) it was really big, had pool tables and fooseball and slot machines, we were staying directly above it, myself Terrence and Zack hit the drink hard, we chatted to the locals drank shots and beer for free all night with the bar owner as we drank ourselves stupid, we were freestyling and they even put Zacks album on as we downed the strangest shots ever, it was local whiskey or vodka cant remember u had to keep it in your mouth then put two sugar cubes in your mouth along with 8 coffee beans, then chew the mixture up(without puking) and swirl and swallow it. hits you like a line of speed it was mental. there was also this tree stump in the middle of the pub with a large free hammer on top and 8 inch nails in a box beside, apparently its a local game where u see who can hammer the nail all the way into the wood in one shot or the fastest, this in a fucking pub ha in Ireland there would be around 20 dead a night......drank some more, had a few mess scraps before bed then fell unconscious...the other hotel was an abandoned hotel we had all to ourselves..so we went exploring...was fun. Zack did a backflip.

Number 3. Dancing Avec La French

In Hungry Flip finally got his Goulash(traditional Hungarian meal)........we stayed in the same hostel as previous time i had been there, we stayed up drinking all night and made friends with some cool french girls who were travelling. I stayed up dancing to soul music and old classics, genuine good music and between the fine herb and great whiskey had an unexpected great night, one of the best, no bullshit just good people and good times.

2. Flip Rescue

This ones a short memory but we were chillin by a lake the day after the gig in Croatia and we decided to swim from one side of the lake to the other, half way there poor flipper nearly drowned and required my skills i learnt from observing years of Mitch Buchanan and babes off Baywatch......Couldn't help but laugh bout this one....

Number 1. thers deffo loads im missing, il leave this blank for now and fill in again, so check back if you made it this far....

Tourings the shit cant wait to be back on the road again, to all the friends i made, fans, dj's, Emcees, promoters, producers, pushers, ladies, and enemies thanks for the time. get at me....
