    So last night on our Blazer Fans LA page someone posts a message that SHEED was signing books at the LA Times Book Fair today.

    He apparently wrote a Children's Book and I was all over this. Such a good time.



    This is a video:

    I hope they work out a cross promotion where you get a free official 'Sheed headband when you buy the book.

    His first kids book got blocked from release after being sued by South Park for the main characters being too much like Towelie. It was called BonzieBoo and DamonPoo.

    Sheed has always loved kids, so I'm unsurprised and pleased.

    However.....
    he probably shouldn't have ended the book with "Ball Don't Lie, Bitch!"

    Yes Rasheed is a great influence for kids!

    You'd better say good things about his boom or he'll meet you out in the parking lot.

    I got Sheed's autograph on E-40's album, "The Hall of Game". Sheed laughed so hard when I handed it to him to sign.
