I have a lot of respect for all of them, and now with some distance between that pain, and the present, I know my getting cut was not an intentional malicious thing. I got to meet several of my favorite artist, and most importantly, I got paid.

It took me a while to except the experience for what it was. It hurt like hell, I wanted to be on the show so bad, then not making it made me want to weep. Somehow despite the assurances that I made the cut, my footage found it’s way to the cutting room floor, and I never aired. And then my air date came and went and there was no sign of Al Letson. BET was running clips of me, I began to tell all my friends everything was going good. There were pictures on the internet of my performance. Weeks later I got the call that I had made the taping. See, you film with them but there is no guarantee that they will air your spot. I didn’t tell anyone because I wasn’t sure if the spot would air or not. I went home feeling really good about the whole experience. After performing for a packed audience and feeling like I rocked it.

I was treated with the utmost respect, and I had a wonderful time in New York. First my history with Def Poetry.ġ) I was picked to film Def Poetry during the second season. When I got the phone call it was filled with joy and some hesitation. DPJ films at the Supper Club in NYC and airs on HBO. So the phone call comes today that I have been accepted to take part in Russle Simmon’s Def Poetry Jam.
