"Most other 17- or 18-year-olds are worried about going to college Teen Riding High Off Success of 'Tipsy' Apr 8, 8:44 PM EST At age 18, J-Kwon is hardly old enough to be drinking or going to clubs â€â€? and that's what his huge debut hit, "Tipsy," is all about Though he makes references his "kids" in an interview, when pressed later for details, he says simply: "I don't even want to get into my kids 'Kwon was homeless; 'Kwon was in the street, so he didn't have the comfort that other 17-year-olds had " Things certainly have gotten better â€â€? his debut album, "Hood Hop," will debut on next week's Billboard album charts at No "I would sleep in the White Castle (restaurant) if I had to," J-Kwon told The Associated Press in an interview last week " So far, any criticism that the song might have received hasn't impeded its success They immediately decided to produce his debut, which was later optioned by Jermaine Dupri's So So Def label "I definitely was making evil music J-Kwon came to me with his own story and his own ideas on how to present it," Dupri said in an e-mail to The Associated Press Put out on the streets by his mother when he was 13 because he wanted to rhyme instead of go to school, he spent some time homeless, living on the streets and selling drugs while trying to pursue his dream of being a famous rapper In addition, his infectious party song "Tipsy" has reached No "His rapping, I liked it, but it was his personality, how he sold himself to me that really got me," says Hot Boyz producer Mark Williams "(He went) from being homeless to not being known to blowing up and having a lot of money in his pocket "You could put a rat in a maze, and he might not go through it the first week, but after that, he'll go through the maze It wasn't always that way I had some good music Louis-born rapper tell it, he's lived a life that would be too gritty for some adults to handle " Not like he's had much of a chance to spend it, though "He's having a hard time, but he's learning," says Williams During his mid-teens, he was befriended by a promoter in St But to hear the St "I don't even have time to spend with my kids," he says He had a little bit of everything in him and he wasn't scared Though he describes his relationship with his mother now as "beautiful," a few years ago she gave him a choice: Go to school or leave home " J-Kwon also had responsibilities that other teens don't have â€â€? he's a father of at least one child Louis who led him to the hot producers The Track Boyz " J-Kwon declined to talk further about his life in the drug trade, but he relied on it to help him survive on the streets as he worked on making demos " Despite its drinking theme, the video brings to mind a mischievous, young Will Smith â€â€? something J-Kwon is definitely not 7, with more than 125,000 copies sold "People think you're a joke when you're really not, and people misconfuse," he says " But clearly, his precarious position in the streets, plus his fatherly responsibilities, made him feel even more pressure to succeed "I was focused on music, my group, and crack," he says I don't understand it "I think I'm pretty blessed," says J-Kwon, born Jerrell Jones Still, J-Kwon has few complaints about his new rap star status His sudden affluence and fame hasn't been an easy adjustment for J-Kwon, though "When I got with The Track Boyz, I was like, I need to make hits now," he says "He was cocky and charismatic but that point in time, I was definitely making battle music," he says The humorous video is getting heavy airplay on MTV and BET and has made J-Kwon an instant celebrity He's also worried about misconceptions that may arise from "Tipsy The best part about it? "It's legal, you understand, it's very very legal," he says, adding: "Most of the time it's legal He chose to leave 2 on the charts and still has steam "If I was 23, I could do Budweiser commercials and all that and it would be good J-Kwon can't understand why the song should upset anyone " "Same shoes, same pants for a month, but you know it's going to get better later He got one his first time out with "Tipsy," which flew up the charts with its catchy foot-stomp and hand-clap beat and call out hook, which says "everybody in the club gettin' tipsy!" But given that J-Kwon just recently turned 18, the song â€â€? which talks about getting a fake ID and drinking excessively â€â€? has raised some eyebrows " "As a rapper, he's not trying to be anyone but himself His music reflected his life at the time â€â€? he calls it "street music Williams says J-Kwon has an edge other teens lack 2 million in the quarter, a 146 percent increase from the same period of 2002 89 million on revenue of $511 9 million on revenue of $985 39 million in the first two quarters of 2002 9 million will split its soaring stock to help attract even more investors as the online auction giant reported yet another quarter of surging sales and profits American buyers purchased $242 EBay also boosted its outlook for the rest of 2003, despite the traditional summer slowdown and an extra tax on online purchases in Europe That beat Wall Street's expectation of 35 cents per share on revenue of $505 5 billion 28, for stockholders of record on Aug Chief financial officer Rajiv Dutta said the company expected yearly revenue of $2 ebay Revenue and profit both jumped 91 percent from the same quarter in 2002 EBay's stock has one of the highest valuations of any company in the United States â€â€? far greater than Microsoft Corp The results also beat the stated expectations of eBay executives, noted in Silicon Valley for conservative financial forecasts Active users, those who purchased or listed at least one item in the past year, jumped 57 percent from the same period last year to 34 47, up 6 cents from previous estimates 1 million 4 million in fixed-price and auction items, up 45 percent from the same quarter last year 74 com EBay, which listed a record 225 million items for sale in the second quarter, had 75 San Jose-based eBay said second quarter net income was $152 million, or 33 cents per share, on revenue of $509 Without some items, which included payments to expand its San Jose headquarters, EBay earned 37 cents per share EBay Plans Stock Split; Sales, Income Up Jul 25, 6:42 AM EST EBay Inc and other technology titans â€â€? and it has remained impervious to the dot-com stock market bust The stock's ascent this year, 71 percent, prompted eBay's board to announce a two-for-one split effective Aug The company also boosted an already bullish outlook on Thursday as its stock hit a new 52-week high They told investors to expect 33 cents per share on revenue of $500 million 76 million EBay users abroad purchased $155 75 billion, up from previous estimates of $2 Whitman and Dutta credited strong sales outside the United States for the quarterly boost 3 million users â€â€? up 51 percent from the end of the 2002 quarter The second quarter exemplified a continued shift at eBay, which is moving from primarily an auction site to an all-purpose site for buying and selling in any format, including fixed prices EBay shares hit a new 52-week high in regular trading Thursday, adding $1 That compares to $101 Dutta said 2003 earnings per share could hit $1 "That should make the stock accessible to more investors," president and chief executive Meg Whitman said during a conference call 60 to $115 In the first half of 2003, eBay earned $213 com 4 â€â€?â€â€?â€â€?
