Recently Dimez on Deck spoke with rising North Carolina based recording artist Ike Ellis to get his opinion on some of the "Dimez" in the Entertainment industry. Scroll down and read all about what he has to say.
In your own words, who is Ike Ellis?
IKE ELLIS is a man with goals and aspirations to do more than he done yesterday. IKE
ELLIS is a man that is from the bottom, from the dirt, from poverty
with the skills and abilities to work hard and progress in anything he
puts his mind on. IKE ELLIS understands the atrocities this world has to
offer. In my own words I am the struggle, and the legit example to make it thru a struggle.
Who would you compare yourself to as an artist?
As an artist I am highly influenced by Tupac, James brown, Marvin gay with the type of messages I try to convey. Puff
daddy and Jay-Z traits are highly recognizable in the my entrepreneur
efforts considering the ventures and risk I am willing to take within
the industry. The energy is compared to one of the likes of a Pastor
troy and T.I. The random out of the box style I would compare to the likes of Andre 3000.
In your own words, what is a "Dime" to you?
A dime to me is a female with more to offer than just looks and a great body shape. I offer wonder what the on the mind of a female, to make her a DIME. A
dime can also cook and keep my belly full. If she can’t make cornbread I
might walk on out the door. A dime has her focus together. A “dime” treats herself with respect, dignity, and integrity.
What's your definition of sexy?
My
definition of sexy is the overall realness a person has to offer. The
conversation piece is very important. For example, even thought is just a
movie, Queen Latifah would have been picked over the other girl in
“Just Wright” if I was Common from the start. I like a woman with her own money, but don’t mind letting her man be the man in her life. A sexy woman believes in her man. A sexy woman is open to suggestions, but has the confidence in herself to make anything look good.
In your opinion who are some of the sexiest women in Entertainment right now?
I’m
more so better with faces than name, but my attraction would be to
their overall excellence and not the fame. I think I would be star
struck if I ran into Beyoncé, Taraji P. Henson, and maybe Erykah Badu.
Who were some of your crushes growing up?
Growing
up, I would say Left eye, Aliyah, Stacy Dash, Lisa Raye, Taraji p.
Henson, and Lil' Kim before she had the plastic surgery.
To you, what is a turn off?
A woman who smokes, a woman who is not down to earth, unfocused, fake, and to materialistic is a turn off to me..
So
you are known as the King of the Carolina's.... are you familiar with
the Queen of the Carolina's, former model Shawna Michelle?
No, but I just Googled her and I am now following on twitter.
Who are some of the other local popular beauties down in The Carolinas that you know of?
I will keep that one in my mind, to avoid the confusion.
