Dao Vang (Bro-in-law) I’m digging the album man. Definitely learned some shit about your culture from it. DJ Mighty Thor You should really let the kids hear it. This should be for them. It lets them know the separation between fame and passion. Chue Vang (Church) Your stuff is different. You have something to say. I’ve got your back all the way. - DJ Shortround _____________________________________________ Yeah. Everybody said it is the bomb from you. Can’t argue with that man. I’m gonna need you to feature in my 2nd upcoming album for sure. Stay true to the Hmong. Tou Saik gave me the CD yesterday at the New Year. I listening all day today man. I gonna say is the best I ever heard from a Hmong artist. I hope one day you make it to the industry and be the first Hmong to made it. Good luck. You got my full support. Tsis K (California) _____________________________________________ “I really like Instrumental. It reminds me of allergic, which is so far my favorite song of yours. I also like the things you use and say. I really like the album. It’s got your personality and YOU written all over it. Felt like I was having a conversation with you. It’s deep and inspirational. Kudos. By the way, I love ‘Never Again’. I was listening to it after a bitching from my mom about school.,” - Linda Vang (MN) _____________________________________________ “It was good all the way through. I listened from beginning to end. It was powerful.” VARIOUS _____________________________________________ Track 5 “Live Alive” made me think. I liked it. It was really you. My Hate, Your Love. Reminded me of all of our relationships. Especially me and Ger. Nancy Garza Yeah. Me and Kou agree too. Hehe. Mai Sue _____________________________________________ Yo sh*t was tight man. It was real. I appreciate it man. You intelligent. - Geno I liked track 2 on your second disk (Instrumental). It’s long. But it’s good to hear just YOU sometime. Without the music. That was my best one. Shirley Track 2 was the best. You kept it real. It’s not all about the fame you know. You’re right. We need to focus on more support for the artists. Tou Sue That was dope. How you kept it accapella and just spoke. DJ DLo _____________________________________________ “Why you so humble? I sense that you feel you have to explain yourself. Don’t do that. Fuck the hate. Fuck the love. Once the music is out. It is no longer yours. It’s the peoples. Love it or hate it. It belongs to them. Let them deal with it. Let it go. At least you had the courage to say it.” Adebisi _____________________________________________ I must say. That CD you gave me was good. I really, really liked it. It had a lot in it. And was very talented. Now that I heard it, I really want to come into the studio. I mean, it was one of the best I ever heard of all time. Period. Donny (Student/Shelter Home) _____________________________________________ Ey. Ur CD's raw man. Feeling it! Still listening yo! First disk still replaying tracks and listening but so far real good man. Good sh*t bro! Talk about a movement. Ha. There it is! People gon' get it twisted but of course yo, it's you. Got much respect yo! Its real nice though still. Anyways, we all just chillin listening to it and all so you got a bunch of listeners yo! I make sure they understand. Ha. It's cool bro! Everythings good. Good ups! Dookie (Milwaukee, WI minor) ____________________________________________________ “Success is the only revenge”. Loving the CD. My grandfather was Chinese adopted into a Lor family. History is just weird. Different? Hopefully in a good way. Haha. Actually listening to it right now again cause I wanted to listen to the words carefully. See Lor I am excited and proud of your accomplishments. Wish you the very best. Funny Guy Sai (Comedian) _____________________________________________ It was a good show! I enjoyed it! Thanks for the invite. Thanks Elvis! Let me know what about the events that you have going on too and i'll try to come to them. i'm at the beginning stages of trying to see where i can start with making postitive changes. I think it's awesome that you are trying to reach out to the younger generation. My dad does alot of non profit work but I think he reaches out more to the older generation and the younger ones are the ones who are the future. Keep doing what you are doing! i like the cd. my favorite is Hmong history ex. it's the cd i've been playing in my car. Take care and see ya around. -Maiko myspace.com/maiko_xiong hey elfy! great performance last night! no, i thought it fit in well with the program. Amy _____________________________________________________________________ I wasted a lot of Life trying to figure out what to do, and now ... never enough time! We make it, we Survive. Fres and I have had some hardcore discussions about the Hmong people, culture, and their adversity. It really upset me that not only did I not know more about their struggle but that more people in general are so unfamiliar with this story. Your words read truth ... honesty ... let's get build more bridges, less walls ... I will return Brother. All the best! ABSOLUTELY!!! I'm hooked on your disc 1 - trk 8-9 BRO ... All of it, actually... every time I listen, I learn. Let's talk shop soon! I got A LOT out of your record ... most importantly, 'AFFIRMATION'. We gotta stay together and bring people together in the Dark times. I know, that's what you're doing. It's beyond the spoken word, it's a feeling. Take care, stay well, and stay you Bro! Keep in reach ...” - Dan (SpeedFreaks) Metal ______________________________________________________________ It was a good CD man. The messages were strong. I listened the whole way, both discs. Good stuff. Yeah, Winner gave it to me the other day. He liked it too. Though he says it’s kind of crazy. The dude really thinks you need counseling. Hahah. Cedric (Michigan) Yo. That’s what I’m talkin about man. This is the album we’ve been waiting for. It finally happened. And I knew it was going to be you. You were always different from the rest of them man. I always knew you had something. I liked you the most. We drove all the way down just because I heard you were throwing your release. Nobody is speaking the messages you are speaking man. The world needs to hear this. Thanks. - Seymore (Green Bay) I believe in Elvis man. Give him my money. He’s got all my support. Dan ( Green Bay) “My Hate, Your Love” was a very deep and emotional song. It was compact with so many points and views. It made me cry. Your sister Bao didn’t really understand it until I explained it to her. But it was very moving. It touched me. That’s a song that is catchy and correct and can attract many ears. I really liked it. There was also a song in your first disk that Bao really wants to translate into Hmong so mom and dad can hear it and understand. You just really have to make music that’s more listenable. And I really liked how you put Hollywood together. It was a very catchy song. - Panh (Older sister) Dude. A lot of people from our circle are very upset about the album. They didn't like some of the stuff you said. We need to talk. - Tou Saik (Activist) It's a harsh reality. But not everything is nice. It was very tough. People need to hear it. - Cousing Vang Yeah dude. You have to be direct sometimes. I like it. - Solomon (Milwaukee) "GREAT CD (SCUM)..love it..its goin to be a big hit" - Neng (Sheboygan) "There are, other more beautiful parts to it. I remember, at times, when I once felt like, scum." - Margarette Arney _____________________________________________ "it's intense. i don't like it. and i like it. i don't like it cause it's raw, real, and i understand it. and i like it cause it's raw, real, and i understand it. it's actually kinda bewildering to feel like someone took my thoughts and put it on their own pieces of paper. it takes my introspection to another level... almost like the concept of wanting to physically meet yourself and feeling like you just did." - srida m. (Washington)

Story behind the song
We love this life, this is how we want to be, wea€™re so happy, laugh with me. If this is what makes us so happy then why are we so sad. Why is this world full of such sad people. Therea€™s a whole generation of angry children, ita€™s happy hour!!!
Lyrics
Smile with me, feel the laughter in the streets, I could hear the whole world with my head against the concrete/ Corruption, poverty, manslaughter, and hatred, God is good so who could have created this?/ The land of opportunity, manipulatina€™ unity, Spreading disease, causing disturbance in our communities/ Kill to survive, the love of money got us twisted, How could we love when we feel love never existed/ Put the killer in jail, the money is the gateway, With all this money we have the freedom to escape/ As much as we attack tobacco companies the government wona€™t ban it, Yo, and I dona€™t understand it/ If it kills the population we should get rid of it, But then the governments gonna lose their percentage/ Oh, I get it, let the generation die young, As long as we gettin money instead of getting none/ Society is ran by a bunch of morons, Letting this tragedy go on and on, right or wrong/ We love this life, the world programmed our heads, Wea€™re smiling on the outside but inside wea€™re dead/ CHORUS: Ita€™s happy houra€¦a€¦leta€™s laugh, leta€™s smilea€¦a€¦ Ita€™s happy houra€¦a€¦leta€™s laugh, leta€™s smilea€¦a€¦ Ia€™m here spittin knowledge, trying to give hope to the world and all, But the media wants to say ita€™s the rappers fault/ Now how did that happen, they like to lie and deceit, Brainwashing our minds they want to make us believe/ Entertainment is changing us, the worlda€™s getting fake, Wea€™re all getting poor while Hollywooda€™s getting paid/ Sex sells and everyday people buy in, No one wants happiness, the power of love is dying/ Dona€™t blame it on sex, go and blame it on the condom, Thanks for the creation now we got another problem/ Public school diseases practicing safe sex, Corrupting intelligence, putting us all in a hex/ Now we got pregnant teens, fathers testing DNAa€™s, Ladies having babies and then giving them away/ A world of divorced parents and foster kids, The lack of responsibility thata€™s what it is/ Now we pay our monthly fees for Anger Management classes, The next day wea€™re fighting again, thata€™s how long it lasts/ We love to have sex everyone just wants to f*** , Ita€™s sad how wea€™re ruining the gift of making love/ Ita€™s all fun and games it aint even about the kids, How can we look at ourselves with the way that we live/ We dona€™t have love for life, life is just an accident, We have a whole population of accidents/ Because of safe sex wea€™re all accidents, All these beautiful children, accidents/ Now we want to be secure using pregnancy pills, Buy all types of drugs just to be fulfilled/ Viagra and implants, paying plastic surgeons, Once you lose it you could never be a virgin/ Disease spread around crawling through our fingertips, Messed up lives and torn relationships/ A girl for the guy that use to be the right way, But now the world is full of fagots and gays/ We was born that way, I guess thata€™s the excuse, Dona€™t expect me to believe that with all my heart I refuse/ Ita€™s disgusting, all you peoples is twisted, Good job Satan you got the whole world tempted/ And now even doctors are murderers, too, Taking away a breath of life in the emergency room/ They want you to believe that abortion is right, If the baby can kick you then that means ita€™s alive/ Ita€™s living inside of you, breathing what you breathe, And when you hold it in your arms thata€™s the gift you receive/ How can you kill something so innocent to better your wealth, Selfish mother f*** er you will burn in Hell/ Abusing their opportunities because of your mistakes, Man ita€™s time the Lord puts you in your place/ CHORUS: Ita€™s happy houra€¦a€¦a€¦a€¦a€¦a€¦a€¦.. Quote (no music): My blood rushes while lyrics are gushing through my brain cells, Spittin knowledge people throw they checks at me, because my brain sells/
