It's Time To Grow
Today was an interesting day. Met Al Branch, who is a heavyweight in the game on the urban marketing side. Ran an errand for him. Dude is cool…I was just soaking up some indirect knowledge from him and another exec(silent listener) uhh they were discussing a marketing strategy for an artist and I was listening to their strategies..sounded solid. Dude was behind Kanye when he first broke into...

In Hip Hop, We've Lost The Art Of The Posse...
Hmmm….I”ve been extremely irked by this not so recent development in Hip-Hop. I’m reading the latest issue of XXL and they were giving a synopsis of the demise of “The Crew” in Hip Hop….I guess from that you could derive the loss of the EFFECTIVE Posse Cut. You know…where the ILLEST MCs (or second tier MCs) got a cut and just rode till the wheels fall off....
I Came To The Conclusion...
I’ve just been busy as hell. Stasia’s been handling most of the online promo for the FRSH PULP showcase on Tuesday, and I’ve been handling most of the street aspects of it. Back @ Def Jam in the radio promotions/marketing departments. They assigned me 4 artists to help market…just like my mans Mike told me. He said it’s the best way to make your bones @ a label. Take...

B.I.G.G.I.E.
Sup ya’ll As expected, the highlight of my weekend was and most likely will be having seen the flick Notorious. I caught the matinee today. I was gonna go tonight with someone but I changed my mind because I (1) want to avoid the crowds and niggerishness and (2) actually wanted to see the flicks. I have B.I.G.’s biography written by Cheo Hodari Coker and the flick pretty much matched...
