Heatwave promoter in the BigBrother house?

As if the re-boot of Young Talent Time wasn’t bad enough, the shaved apes who write the cheques at the Nine Network have decided to bring back Big Brother for another season later this year.

The decision to bring the show back might be questionable, but we’ll know that the producers are completely insane if they don’t lock our favourite blue dreadlocked hip-hop promoter away in the house. Yes, that’s right Heatwave boss Patrick Whyntie (aka Mastacraft) has applied to be part of the Big Brother cast for 2012.

The man behind the Aussie rap classic I Love Porno, announced on Facebook earlier this month that ‎for “100 LIKES and i’ll genuinely audition for BIG BROTHER 2012…figure with my resume i’d be a red hot shot and hold it down for all of us”. And although that post has only attracted 78 likes from his 7000+ fans at the time of writing Whyntie has now announced that he has “Just registered for Big Brother…If I get in I will do you all proud.”

According to the application form for potential Big Brother inmates “The Nine Network and Southern Star are looking for people who have warmth, intelligence, humour and no agenda”. The application also reminds us that “If you look at the most loved people on Big Brother – Chrissie Swan, Reggie, Fitzy, Sara-Marie – they all have one thing in common; they just put it all on the line and were embraced by the nation”.

How could the nation fail to embrace the warmth, intelligence, humour of this masterful rapping?


The new version of the show will be hosted by Sonia Kruger and kicks off its search for entertaining morons in Perth on Saturday 14th April.

Whether you love me or hate me listen up for a sec...because this post means more than anything i've ever written.

NEXT MONTH marks a special milestone for me...A DECADE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.

A decade that has been a rocky solo ride filled with the stuff that broke most my peers into getting out of the game.

See I started real young I was that annoying absolutely horrible whippersnapper trying to be like all my idols & rap. For the record not everyone did it back then either.

I was so shit like everyone is at the start but stuck at it & gradually over the years every now & then I did some crazy things that got me close a few times to finally breaking out; from touring with huge acts, playing festivals, playing major national support gigs, opening shows to 4 people, being boo’d (not off cause I always finished that shit, to being cheered off, rocking house party freestyles with mates drunk as could be, rocking nightclubs, freestyle(never written) battling both losing & winning, being broke as fuck, meeting the who's who, recording in my bedroom, recording in award winning studios, having violet brown reach out to me, building an overseas friendship with bizarre from d12, being spun on Shade 45, selling a lot of iTunes/Amazon singles with I Love Porno(mostly to japan), being dumped by managers, helped anyone who asked me out or inboxed me for a contact or lyric help, suffered pretty randomly bad depression, lost a lot of mates, made more friends than I can remember, had a lot of sex for a support act haha, done & said some very dumb shit, spoken to but passed on by labels, an idea of where I was in the late teens could be summed up at playing the 3rd stage of summer break right before 360 in 2007, made money, lost money, put my boys on, had NOVA love for a bit, started Heatwave & genuinely meant & hope to make it work real well nationally, repped my area as much as I could, been used abused & spat out, getting producers asking to send me beats, had girls leave me while I stayed chasing this dream only to come back when I get close, supported before anyone else the beyond blue movement....shit when you look at it, while after a few years everyone eventually gave up or made it I've done a lot…. but haven't made it anywhere near where I want to be, or where you guys would consider me as "making it” yet.

Over the years it would drive you mentally insane if I told you the amount of times I've been told to give it up, let it go, get a real job you get the picture right? Well hell every time I show one group up or pass one level BAM the next level of hatred is right there & more vicious & connected than the last...it's like I'm still on a high from rocking the mic next to & getting co signed by Tech N9ne & someone's already trying to bring you down like it's nothing....well where I’m from it is.

Outside of my local hometown boys I’ve always been alone in this scene no matter what I do or who I help, hell I’ve gone above & beyond so many of them & they'll never acknowledge that. It’s been frustrating always having to prove myself in this scene cause I was born overseas, having an accent with Irish all up in me has meant I’ve had to make it on my own....I’m exactly what an indie artist is & I’ve developed some cult fans whom I love to death & with that I’ve developed some equally as vocal haters; not to mention I’ve felt the wrath of the media for a few slip ups....i’ve never sold out either, I’ve always written how my life is & always given my music away for free.

I’ve met some lovely people over the years as well; the down south boys while hard nuts are loyal & I love that area till the day I die (Daniel Bennett, Andrew Philp, Leroy Roydalz Reynolds, Koastal K Busbridge, Alex Williamson, John Jarred, Jake Tolsher & the list goes on). I've always been lucky to have a father & mother who actually supported me in following what essentially was a dream and still do.
I've also met some real good promoters such as Blake Highfi, Logan Chucky Dulien & the guy who gave me my first show ever Dale Tiver, these guys took the time to listen to me when no one else would & gave me some huge leg ups and that will never be forgotten. Then there is the overseas artists who I spent time with & learnt from shouts to Dirt Nasty, Tech N9ne, Bizarre(even though I’m still mad you missed aussie bro!), Dj Warrior, Obie & some more in the earlier years.
The crew around me now bleezy, jozef, pigsy etc. everyone knows who they are shit I just go out way to much & know to many people.

I guess I’m just giving an insight & reminding myself what I’ve been through since starting out so it’s time I signed out but before I do I’d like to thank & let anyone who has stuck with me over the years, supported & has given me the motivation to pull myself out of some big holes, i'm in the 20's & shit with the way I live life there is no accepting failure & I want to drop an album that would do you all proud.

#I go up, up & away
& I never gave a fuck on what they say
my dressing room is kinda small & tucked away
i'm quite happy being who it sucks ta be!
