Ask the Boss of All Bosses competition

[Rukas]

Hey hey people, ever wanted to know the answer to a question? Be it random or some behind the scenes happenings?

Fire away!

Consider it a competition, ask a good enough question and get a quoted reply by none other than Rukas! And in the spirit of Dante, let me just say that nowadays, this prize is very RARE!

But beware, ask a stupid question and get banned! Consider it an excersise in bettering the board by a) having some fun and getting some answers and b) weeding out idiots who post, well, idiotic things....

Ever since your comment about forwarding me to your secretary, I'm still not sure if I want to talk to you anymore. Regardless, when is your next visit to the states and where?

I was supposed to go to LA/Vegas in September but that may be put on hold as we are doing a big tour in September that may clash with my plans.

However, after speaking with Yukmouth, I may move my New Years Eve plans from Thailand to Las Vegas this year.

when is the next time you will come to see your relative in oslo? next time you can bet money i'll come down there and hang out :thumb:

actually forget the money thing, it could backfire.

Knowin you are one of the owners of a club, I wonder how much involved you are. How many times is rukas actually there and if so, are you workin like behind the bar...or are you just there to drink for free?

^Speaking of, can I get my name at the door? This Saturday right?

I have several questions, if you don't mind ofcourse.

Firstly, how did you become affiliated with rappers like Yukmouth? How did you meet them, get in contact with them, and - essentially - form a relationship with them?

Secondly, how did you find the capital and finances to open a nightclub, to build your own studio/label etc?

Im there every day handling business in my office, plus my studio is upstairs. So every day. In terms of during the club, the club opens this Saturday to the public. I wont be at the bar no, I will be walking around making sure everyone is having a good time and flossing my boss muscle. In other words, Ill have pimp cup in one hand, cigar in the other hand, and Ill be walking around in my suit. Ill also be checking out the line every now and then to let VIPs in. But mostly just walking around bossed up

Just holla at me, I dont do an actual list to prevent staff from putting Friend + 15 on the door. Although we MAY do one for the launch this Sat for sponsors, havent worked it out yet, BUT, just holla at me and you are good to go.

Ill be floating around the door anyway if you come at around 10-11, if not my cousin Young Blaze will be and if you explain to him who you are you'll be set.

I met Yuk in about 99, helped on a tour he did here (looked after venue, hooked up weed, promoted, hooked up weed). We've kept in touch, and the Youngline family opened for him in Germany when they lived there. Recently my crew bumped into Yuk at the Urban Music Awards here in Sydney and he then flew down to Adelaide and we kicked it. I didnt go to the UMAs because I was VERY sick (thats another question or thread), but we met up a couple times last week and did some ish together (cant comment on context of work sorry), and he will be back to do some more ish in about a month.

Boo Ya Tribe is also here and we kicking it right now, in fact for those that come to the club, Boo Ya is secret special guest.

Secondly, how did you find the capital and finances to open a nightclub, to build your own studio/label etc?

I cant really comment on that other than saying its a mixture of selling your soul and hard work. I dont physically own the building so its not as much as you are picturing, and I have two partners.

I havent worked in months and club hasnt been opened so its been tough but I hustle enough to eat and put into it.

Speaking of the club and hustling.....

And ya all can hear the radio ad complete with famous shoutouts at http://www.myspace.com/hustlenightclub
