Candyman 187 Interview, Snoop Single + Win $3000 - By : Rud - August 31, 2011
(http://www.dubcnn.com/interviews/candyman187-2011/candyman187.jpg) (http://www.dubcnm.com/cdcovers/candyman187-sm.jpg)
Candyman 187 is a name that for many will ring true but you might not be able to place where from instantly. Born in the 80s, Candyman was raised in L.A. and led a hot-tempered youth before reevaluating his life and refocusing his energy into becoming a revolutionary musician whose goal was to make an impact on anyone who would listen.
In his early years, Candyman 187 was mentored by the legendary Tupac Shakur and Yaki Kadafi of the Outlawz. A strong bond developed amongst the trio, who then went on to form the group The Havenotz.
Today Candyman 187 has seen and done it all and over recent years, with that team of artists, musicians and producers behind him The Havenotz he has set about making his mark taking L.A by storm with a 13 piece live band making and winning Album of the Year and Artist of the Year at the Los Angeles Music Awards.
Now Candyman 187 is tackling the industry on his own and has recently released a single and video for a record featuring Snoop Dogg and Ariano called "High Off The Fame." This radio friendly record and accompanying video is from his upcoming album "If Tomorrow Never Comes."

We also have another record, a solo cut, very different from the first track called "Show Em All" where Candyman showcases his deep, introspective lyrical side over a melodic instrumental.
Candyman 187 - Show Em All (Audio)
With "If Tomorrow Never Comes" due within the next few weeks Javon of Dubcnn recently sat down with man himself to talk about the impact he hopes to make on all that listen to his music, enjoying the process as he works towards his goal and the redundant questions that he has to answer in each interview. Yes, we talk about his connection to the legendary 2Pac but Candyman 187 sets the record straight once and for all.
One thing is for certain, Candyman 187 is not here because of who he was fortunate enough to have met. He is here as a result of his love of music, hard work and dedication. Period. Take a few minutes to learn about this gentleman and for those would be emcees pay careful attention to the end of the interview as there is an opportunity to win $3,000 in conjunction with Dubcnn.

Then take a moment to hit up Canydman on Twitter, check out his official site and find out how with Dubcnn & Candyman you could win $3000!

DubCNN, just as a note, it'd probably be wise to disassociate yourself with this artist. I've been told by numerous sources close to 2Pac over the years that this guy is a major fraud and was only about 12 years old when Pac died. He has changed his stories several times and claimed that he rode around with Pac in 94, but that would make him 10 years old at the time.
For awhile he was able to get it past people (Shock G, Ray Luv), but as far as I know none of the dudes fuck with him anymore.
But since 2004, I have been hearing from Outlaw members, Thug Life members, and other sources that his story is 100 percent fraudulent, which is why he probably doesn't want to discuss 2Pac in interviews anymore (it's only a matter of time before one of 2Pac's associates airs him out publicly).
Just thought y'all should know.
-
It should also be noted that I was close to the first people who Candyman started fucking with industry wise back in 04. His story changed from that "he met 2Pac a few times" to "he was 2Pac's little brother" essentially over night.
Needless to say, that record label stopped fucking with him as a result.
-
I have done alot of reading on the internet.......on this subject and this is the first time i heard of "candyman 187" in relation to the subject matter............however.....I think it is good for a brother to have fantasy friends .........so no hate.....
Play the interview......and entertain the folks

Ask Yasmynn Fula (Kadafi's Mom) aka Swanrise , about this clown. He burnt through her money and lied to her until she found out he was a fraud.

Is that right? I knew he was feeding Yasmynn all the bullshit about knowing Pac and Kadafi too, but I didn't know he burnt through her money. This dude is a cold motherfucker, a shame to the rap game. He was referring to Yasmynn as his "mom" and Kadafi's daughters (though I hear he was lying about that bullshit too and that Kadafi doesn't even have daughters) his own daughters. Straight fucking clown.
He's not even black yelling "nigga" all the time too - the dude is like Armenian or some sort of middle eastern.
Serious shit DubCNN - endorsing this motherfucker is not a good look. It's one of the most disrespectful acts I've ever seen in the rap game to pull the fraudulent bullshit he's been pulling. Even if the clown had talent (though to me all he does is rap about the same shit Pac rapped about in '94-'96), it's never gonna fly. If he ever got enough notice, best believe he would be aired out by one of Pac's comrades in a second. They stopped co-signing him years ago so now he rolls with a bunch of white kids that he refers to as the "Havenotz."
-
I know for a fact the amount he burnt though was just over 30 grand.
-
embarrassing :-[
-
if he has rap skilz........then dubcnn is doing right by promoting him........everybody lives in fantasy land to a degree
yall quit hating.......plus if he spent someone elses money......whos fault is it? the person who gave it to him...or him?

whos fault is it? the person who gave it to him...or him?

I AM A SHOW PROMOTER HERE IN VENTURA, CA. I REMEMBER CANDYMAN187 FROM THE HITEMUP.COM MESSAGE BOARD BACK IN THE LATE 90S AND EARLY 2000S, HE WAS THE GUY ON THERE WHO ALWAYS CLAIMED TO HAVE UNHEARD 2PAC SONGS. CANDYMAN187 WAS ALSO HIS SCREEN NAME ON THERE, SOME OF YOU MIGHT REMEMBER HIM. WELL I BOOKED THIS MAN FOR A SHOW IN VENTURA IN 2009, UPON MEETING HIM I TOLD HIM I WAS A MEMBER OF HITEMUP.COM BACK IN THE DAY AND I REMEMBER HIM ON THERE. HE PROCEEDED TO CUT ME OFF ALL QUIK AND SAY "NAH I AINT EVER FUCKED WITH THE INTERNET SHIT BACK THEN" AND HE GLARED AT ME LIKE HE WANTED ME TO KEEP QUIET. I HAVE BEEN VISITING DUBCNN FOR A LONG TIME, BUT ONCE i SAW THIS THREAD I DECIDED TO REGISTER AND REPLY TO IT, BECAUSE NOT ONLY WAS THIS GUY A HORRIBLE BUSINESSMAN WHO TRIED TO INTIMIDATE ME OUT OF MORE MONEY, HE IS ALSO A COMPULSIIVE LIAR. HE WAS 9 YEARS OLD WHEN 2PAC DIED, YET BEFORE THE SHOW WHILE HE WAS GETTING HIS HAIR BRAIDED HE MADE UP ALL THESE ELABORATE STORIES ABOUT BEING IN THE STUDIO WITH PAC. NO HATE HERE, I AM 38 YEARS OLD AND I DONT HATE ON PEOPLE, BUT I DO HATE ON LIARS AND FRAUDS.
Question How would you know someone from a message board forum in real life...having the same nickname doesnt mean the same person
-
I'm gonna look into this.

I'm gonna look into this.

WELL IF YOU WERE AROUND IN THE LATE 90S, AND ON HITEMUP.COM YOULL REMEMBER A SCREENNAME "CANDYMAN187" AND ALL THE SHIT HE USED TO POST ABOUT HOW HE KNEW PAC AND HAD TONS OF UNHEARD SONGS. THIS WAS IN THE LATE 90S LIKE I SAID, WHEN HITEMUP.COM FIRST STARTED. HARDCORE 2PAC FANS KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. CANDYMAN187 WAS A 13 YEAR OLD KID ON HITEMUP.COM PRETENDING TO BE 2PACS HOMIE. GUESS HE WAITED ABOUT 10 YEARS, AND TOOK IT ONE STEP FURTHER BY ACTUALLY STARTING A MUSIC CAREER. NOT ONLY THAT BUT I BELIEVE HE ALSO LEGALLY CHANGED HIS LAST NAME, BECAUSE WHEN WE DID BUSINESS HIS LAST NAME WAS LISTED AS "SHAKUR". HE PAYS AMG (YES THE ONE DJ QUIK CALLS A GROUCHY OLD FAG) GOOD MONEY TO ROLL WITH HIM TO SHOWS AND KICK IT. I WONT LIE, I INITIALLY BOOKED HIM BECAUSE I THINK HE HAS GOOD MUSIC AND HIS BAND IS DOPE, AND THEY GOT A GREAT STAGE PRESENCE AND ARE AWESOME PERFORMERS. BUT CANDYMAN AS A PERSON IS ABOUT AS SHADY AND SCANDALOUS AS THEY GET. HE ALSO PROMISED TO HAVE STORM FROM THA OUTLAWZ THERE THAT NIGHT TOO, AND SHE NEVER SHOWED, BUT I MET SOME DUDE CANDYMAN CLAIMED WAS HER HUSBAND.
LONG STORY SHORT AFTER MEETING HIM, I STARTED TO PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER. HE IS DEFINATELY THE SAME DUDE WHO WAS POSTING AS "CANDYMAN187" ON THE HITEMUP.COM FORUMS IN THE LATE 90S, AND HE DOESNT WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT PROBABLY CONFLICTS WITH ONE OF HIS MANY LIES ABOUT HIS CHILDHOOD AND AGE. DUBCNN IS A GREAT SITE, BEEN VISITING IT FOR A LONG TIME NOW, BUT IF YOURE GONNA PROMOTE CANDYMAN187, YOU MIGHT AS WELL PROMOTE LADY GAGA TOO, BECAUSE TO ME THEY FALL UNDER THE SAME CATEGORY.

Tha truth is speaking just that.. This guy is one of the biggest frauds out there and is the same guy from hitemup.com days.. a pure shady scam artist.. Props to enigma for pointing it out, but enigma I think he is arabic, but he might be lying about that 2.. Hope someone pulls this clown's card soon..

Ok, so he fooled Shock G for a while, even jumped on a track which Shock was producing for his upcoming track on Rose Vol 2, a Tupac poem cd.
Shock was just trying to do the right thing and include someone he thought was a real homie for Pac.
Shock found out Candyman is a fraud and told the label to remove Candyman, the whole album was already mixed, so they had to edit Candyman out. This is why Candymans verse is not on the retail. They simply edited his verse out, they couldn't remove his adlibs and acapella track. He is not credited on the retail liner notes, and he received zero monetary compensation. Candyman then got on Streethop (hitemup was already gone) and told people that 2pac wrote his verse for him when he was a kid, which is simply a flat out lie. Shock G was very pissed and embarrased about this, I spoke to him personally on the issue, I also got a signed copy of 'Fear of a Mixed PLanet' which is dope.
Also Dante worked closely with Yaks mom for Son rize vol 1 and the never finished vol 2 mixtapes. Yas told him how much she hated Candyman and was furious at him for conniving and lying and spending 30 k on booze and partying of her money.
Here is the song before Shock told the label to remove the candyman verse.

I've notified the label, this is pretty crazy, I used to be on the hitemup forums as well and have a vague memory of this poster.

NIMA IF YOU FIND OUT HOW MUCH OF A FAKE THIS GUY IS, AND DECIDE TO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH HIM, DONT LET HIM INTIMIDATE YOU. HE TRIED TO INTIMIDATE ME WHEN I DID BUSINESS WITH HIM, BUT HE IS NOT A VERY INTIMIDATING MAN. HE IS ABOUT 5'5, PUDGY, AND DRUNK MOST THE TIME. NOT A PHYSICAL THREAT WHATSOEVER, AND HE ISNT AS CONNECTED AS HE PROTRAYS HIMSELF TO BE. JUST SO YOU KNOW, YOU GOT SOME LOYAL VISITORS OF YOUR SITE WHO ARE JUST TRYING TO LOOK OUT FOR YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS, NO ONE IS BLANTANTLY HATING ON THIS GUY, WE ARE ALL JUST STATING FACTS.
ALSO CHECK OUT THIS HILARIOUS ARTICLE THAT HE MOST LIKELY WROTE HIMSELF A COUPLE YEARS AGO, ITS GOOD FOR SOME LAUGHS, THIS GUY LIVES IN A FANTASY WORLD!

also about the time son size vol 1 came out he had a pre order for his album with features from shock g,fatal, mopreme, ray luv & strom. the album never came out and any1 who ordred never got the money back.
-
I'm glad I have some folks to back me up on this as it wouldn't have looked very convincing if I was the only one speaking up on this.
Fuck this counterfeit ass fool. How anyone can look themselves in the mirror knowing they tried to make a whole career out of lying about 2 dead men putting you on and mentoring you is beyond me. On top of that, the story about Kadafi's mom is absolutely disgusting. How he got Snoop on his track is beyond me, but it wouldn't surprise me if that's some recycled bullshit.
Nima, what label did you contact? And have you found out on your own that this dude is a fraud?
-
I should also note that when he started fucking with a particular indy record label before he had any entrance into the industry, he met them on an internet messageboard. I was never on the hitemup forums, but now that you're saying he was on that forum, it doesn't surprise me given that he was posting the same bullshit 2Pac story on another messageboard a few years later trying to get a record deal out of it.
-
Did that Havenotz album ever come out?
-
how do you spend 30k of someone else's money...........without them giving it to you? so in that case it is actually your money.
weirdest story i heard in a long time....was he a building contractor and they needed him to buy building supplys?
-
If you're going to disassociate yourselves with this fraud, you might want to take down the banners.
-
who cares?
at d end of the day, "high off the fame" was a cool song.. 8)
((Rick Ross is a former correctional officer, n nobody cares about that))
he should pay backk the money to Kadafi moms tho, n give her an apology or somthin
