Honey Mag

To be honest, the Honey staffers are more addicted to eight balls than bowling balls. (No pun intended!) But somehow a bowling tournament seemed more group-friendly than a pool playoff.

So we rounded up a grip of our favorite Newbees (Donnis, Donnie Goines, Esso, Jay Rock, Kidz In The Hall, and Spree Wilson) and our play-play cousins, Nina Sky, for Honey’s very first Bowling Battle of the Sexes at Bowlmor & Carnival. Vying for the Kingpin title, five of our editors traded our Chucks and Choos for those bootleg Steve Madden lace-ups and hit the lanes for a little 10-pin, a few drinks, and a lot of laughs.

During downtime, there was mixing and mingling. The boys wanted to talk about two things in particular: love + sex. And what kind of  hostesses would we be if we wouldn’t let them speak their minds.

And here’s what the cameras didn’t catch:

The boys (cough, winners, cough) on celebrity crushes:
Donnis: Jessica Biel. If we are stuck in the elevator you’re going to see a rainbow of love. That white girl got a body on her.

Double-O (from Kidz in the Hall): Charlize Theron

Naledge (from Kidz in the Hall): Melyssa Ford.

On cougars:
Double-O (from Kidz in the Hall): To me, the baddest broads in Hollywood are over 40. Examples? Stacey Dash, Catherina Zeta, Halle Berry…

Donnis: I’m down with cougars for the simple fact that I always want to learn more.  I’m an empty chalkboard just waiting for you to teach me. Get that equation ready for me. I am just a young man who wants to learn about you.

On groupies:
Double-O: I don’t call them groupies. I call them no. 1 fans. Maybe we’re famous now, but we weren’t famous enough for groupies. We had to convince them that we were the shit, between the time we got off stage and the time that the main act got onstage.

Jay Rock: Groupies will buy a CD,  hold [you] down. Shit, groupies hold you down for life.

Donnis: I love groupies. If I can convince a room full of people to put their hands up, why can’t I convince one girl to take her drawls off?

On viral marketing:
Naledge: Women are the best publicists. Sometimes you  you don’t even have to have sex with a girl. We can sit in  the hotel room, watch movies and order room service. Sometimes I’m tired as fuck, I don’t want to have sex. I just like female company.

Donnis: If she’s riding around with my music playing, someone else is going to listen also. I’ve had girls say, ‘My boyfriend doesn’t want me listening to you anymore, but he was a fan. He was nodding his head.’

On being in a relationship when being in the industry:
Double-O: It’s the best thing at times because when times are rough she’s your back bone. She can hold you down. If she really respects your art she’s probably going to help and support you. But you’re put into situations where the normal relationship will crumble. You have to be really strong, because if your other half isn’t secure, she’s going be fucked up. Part of the job is fraternizing. Part of the job is a lot of people liking you and a lot of women can’t understand that. They think they can, but once they get into it, after a while, you’re thinking, ‘Damn I’m not doing shit but I’m being dispositioned every time I’m talking to her. I might as well be doing something if I’m fighting and arguing every time.” You have to have a girl that’s super secure.

Donnis: You could think your woman is beautiful, so  smart, so funny and  you can tell her that a million times but if she doesn’t feel that then  it’s a bad situation. The models are always around, the lights are always on and the drinks are always cold. Everybody wants us.

Right now, I’m single baby. It’s got to be organic. Your girl has to be your best friend, partner in crime. If y’all can’t share everything together, laugh, then it’s not going to work.

Naledge: The greatest thing about girlfriends,  they really support you. You probably wouldn’t be who you are without them and you had that girl at the top. If you’re broke and you have that girl that says, ‘I got you. Don’t worry,” then I know our dream is further than the ‘here and now.’

Spree Wilson: That’s why a lot of cats keep the same girl from way before.

On smashing the homies and “whores”:
Donnis: I’m not going to judge a girl about her past but if you bang Naledge, Double-O, then you bang Donnie… it sucks because I wanna bring you around my boys and I can’t even though I’m really feeling you.

Naledge: We’re going to be for real. We’re artists at the end of the day, whether you want to call us rappers we’re still artists. There’s two thing that girls go for: hungry mutha%^$^ and starving artists.They will support the most starving, broke-down bass player of a band that they are in love with forever or they will just go on the other end and just use a dude that has money.

Can I say one thing though, real talk? Those dudes trying to fuck all these women because they’re in music — those are the ones that never got ass before the game.

On sexin’:
Donnis: I have been having sex with a lot more girls where I’m their first black guy. Then they leave me and the doors are open for all of the black guys. You’re welcome, other black guys! Now they’re hooked because once you go black…

Best place you’ve had sex at?
Donnis: Outdoor sex is amazing. We rolled up in the BMW, drop the top down…

Double O: Five-and-a-half minutes away from Great Adventure, in the woods. I used to work at Great Adventure Six Flags for many years. If you live in Central Jersey that’s usually what you do at the ages of like 15-17, work at Great Adventures. It’s like a reality show waiting to happen. They take every horny-ass kid from all of New Jersey that have never met each other and you put them all in the same confined area for hours of a day. All kinds of stuff goes down.

Donnis: At T-Boz’s house, I was dating her cousin. She use to be like, ‘don’t be having sex in my house.” We had sex in the bathroom.

Naledge: If you don’t have a crib and you’re in high school, you fuck in the alley. I’m from Chicago.

On monogamy:
Double-O: I don’t believe in it. I haven’t figured out the exact situation yet where I think it’s real. I think that naturally, it’s temporary. You don’t have to fight the urge. There is a point where I feel like you have to start fighting the urges in order to not stray. Honestly for men, that’s what we do. As much as everyone wants to think that we are so evolved, so cultured, and so civilized… This world is not populated by monogamy. It’s populated by polygamy.

On cheating:
Naledge: Nah. I look at my parents and they have been together for about 35 years. They work together. That’s what you strive for but if you’re driven to go somewhere else then you’re probably not with the one you want to be with.
