WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU PRODUCE A HIT TRACK ON A RECORD THAT GOES ON TO SELL NINE MILLION COPIES? AS ONE YOUNG DETROIT PRODUCER FOUND OUT, NOT ALWAYS AS MUCH AS YOU THINK…
In the September Issue of Penthouse find out why Hip Hop Producers Should Take Heed…
(New York, NY – August 6, 2007) In 2005, ‘Disco D’ thought he had finally gotten his big break when 50 Cent hired him to produce “Ski Mask Way” for the rapper’s record The Massacre. Though The Massacre would go on to sell 9 million copies, Disco D was only paid a production fee of $4,250. While royalties for 50 Cent mounted, Disco D was left wondering how he would pay next month’s rent. In its September issue, which hits newsstands tomorrow, August 7th, Penthouse offers a cut-throat glimpse into the world of music production. The article, The High Life and Tragic Death of Disco D explores the tragic death and colorful life of David Shayman - the skinny white boy who lived and died spinning ghetto-tech; as well as the 3-year-old dispute over “Ski Mask Way.”
Penthouse September Street Smarts: How Not To Talk To A Bouncer
Ever taken one to the jaw by the pumped-up dude in black behind the velvet ropes at your favorite
club only to be left wondering what you did to deserve the whooping you just got from that burly
bouncer? According to Rob The Bouncer, author of, Clublife: Thugs, Drugs and Chaos at New
York City’s Premier Nightclubs, people should keep to themselves. In the September issue, read
featured pointers on How to Leave a Club Without Getting Hurt like: Don’t touch a bouncer – ever -
and don’t get into a fight with another club-goer after “last call”. “Once last call is made,” explains
author Rob The Bouncer, “bouncers are thinking about diners and omelets and sleep.” “Extending
a bouncing staff’s night will invariably end up exploding in your face.”
Penthouse Full Frontal TV: The Family Guy’s Man of Many Voices
Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane is an equal-opportunity offender who has managed to piss
off both the FCC and the originators of South Park. So, when Chaunce Hayden interviewed him
for September’s Full Frontal TV Q&A section and asked, “What Family Guy got the most negative
reaction?” he wasn’t surprised when Seth retorted, “We did an episode where Peter Griffin got
upset because he learned that his son was more endowed than him. That episode raised
eyebrows with the FCC. In fact, they even investigated it! Yes, your tax dollars at work!” Check
out more comedic quotes from this voice impresario in the new issue.
Penthouse Full Frontal Sounds: Mya
Her 4th album, Liberation is all about letting go of negativity and doubt, but R&B singer
Mya is so breath-takingly beautiful and talented it’s hard to believe she could feel anything but
confident. The sultry crooner, who once fired back verbally at 50 Cent for writing lyrics about her
and him having sex, learned the art of self-defense from her dear old Dad. “My Father always told
me that women are the most gangster of them all. They don’t have to carry guns, or have big
muscles. If you can outthink someone, that’s what makes you gangster.” Despite her Dad’s
advice, however, Maya likes to shoot ‘em up and the nine-millimeter is her favorite weapon to fire.

Gametime
He’s outspoken, he curses like a sailor and yet most people don’t know who relief pitcher Steve
Kline is. Currently playing for the Giants, this left-handed pitcher shoots straight-from-the-mound
and from the hip. His thoughts on Yankee Alex Rodriguez: “A-Rod’s a great player, but he’s a big
baby.” Speaking of babies, Kline often has to explain to his 5-year-old daughter that opposing fans
“just want Daddy to do bad, but that they don’t really mean it,” when they call him every explicative
under-the-sun at games. Steve shares his thoughts on teammate Barry Bonds, performanceenhancing
drugs and steps-up-to-the-plate for former teammate Mark McGwire in the new
Penthouse.
