If you haven't copped one of his books and you're aspiring to be in the record industry, quit sleepin!

He's got a book called "All You Need To Know About The Music Business" which has gone through several editions because of the ever so changing music biz.

Here's a vid of him talking about some of the possibilities of success in the future:

Synopsis:
In the action-packed new thriller from writer/director Neil Marshall ("The Descent"), authorities brutally quarantine a country as it succumbs to fear and chaos when a virus strikes. The literal walling-off works for three decades – until the dreaded Reaper virus violently resurfaces in a major city. An elite group of specialists, captained by Eden Sinclair (Rhona Mitra), is urgently dispatched into the still-quarantined country to retrieve a cure by any means necessary. Shut off from the rest of the world, the unit must battle through a landscape that has become a waking nightmare.

This Roy Jones vs Tito Trinidad fight is building up more steam than I expected. But when you actually look at the possibilities after this fight the build up is some what justified. Both fighters can possibly land a bigger fight depending on the outcome. Roy has actually come out publicly and challenged Joe Calzaghe saying he'll fly to Whales for that fight. Don't sleep on Tito Roy...That left hook can be a problem.

You can definitely call this a career ending fight for both being that if either fighter loses there's no proverbial "Green Pasture" to walk on for a bigger fight. "Now or Never" should be the Tag line for the fight if you think about it.

I'll give my predictions Friday, but here's the press conference:


Oscar De La Hoya has been throwing the notion as of late for a May rematch against Floyd Mayweather which would take place at 147lbs for Floyd's Welterweight title.


Am I the only who doesn't care to see this fight? Dropping down a few pounds to a weight class you haven't fought in in over 5 years just smells like disaster. I really hope they don't think their numbers from last year's lack luster, incredibly over hyped fight will garner the same if not more money. No chance in hell Oscar. I got some names for you Oscar...Paul Williams, Kermit Cintron, Vernon Forrest.

If this isn't love for Hip Hop, I don't know what is...



(Taken from HipHopDX)
Hip Hop historians regard 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, a housing building, to be the official birthplace of the culture. It was here that DJ Kool Herc held some of his earliest parties, featuring the two turntables and cutting back and forth, prolonging breakbeats dating back to 1973, the official birth year of Hip Hop.

The address has remained an affordable housing complex within The Bronx since the '70s, through the Mitchell-Lama Affordable Housing Program in New York. Eleven months ago, residents learned that 1520 Sedgwick was in danger of being removed from said list, forcing many residents to relocate. After some protesting through the Hip Hop community, the proposed new buyer offered to back out of purchasing the property, allowing residents the opportunity to stay or purchase their apartments.

In the latest news concerning the property, a press conference will be held today to officially determine the fate of 1520 Sedgwick Avenue. Attendees include Senator Chuck Schumer and Kool Herc. HipHopDX will keep you updated.

Word is spreading that HBO is setting up a double header for April 26th pitting Miguel Cotto against the Contender's Alfonso Gomez. Can someone say...mismatch??? Though Gomez bodied Arturo Gatti last year, Miguel Cotto is coming off a KO win over Zab Judah & a Unanimous Decision victory over future HOF Shane Mosley. This should go into the later rounds with Cotto doin what he does and goin to the body wearing down Gomez late.


...And speaking of Zab Judah, the under card is set to be Antonio Margarito against Brooklyn's Bad Boy (or crybaby?). Realistically this looks like a set up fight for a Summer showdown between Cotto & Margarito that should've happened 2 years ago.

Personally I would've liked to have seen maybe Kermit Cintron vs Cotto rather than Gomez. I like Gomez, but he's not ready for Cotto's onslaught. The Margarito vs Zab fight might surprise a lot of people. This is literally a do or die fight for both fighters (especially Zab).

And...it's on HBO, not PPV!!! Gotta be happy 'bout that!

This is great. A guy calls the Webmaster support of a Porn company (who I'll leave nameless)because he's pissed at all the emails he's been getting. Peace to the Baggins Fam for this one.

For those who don't know, Ip Shun's father (Grandmaster Yip Man)is the guy who taught Bruce Lee's his 1st "legitimate" style of Kung Fu called Wing Chun (Bruce's Dad actually taught him Tai Chi at a young age which is a more delicate form of meditation and defense but very useful if used properly). Wing Chun is pretty much the epicenter to all of Bruce Lee's skills that he learned later on in life.

Absolutely!

I had to pick myself off the couch after playing this game.

Those who know me from waaaay back know I've always been a skateboarding fan as well as a skater in the early 90's. This game brings me back to those days. Unlike Tony Hawk's games, maneuvering the board consists of using the analog sticks to do anything from an ollie to a tre flip (360 flip). The cities are similar to GTA in that they just go on and on.

The highlight of the game for me is when you get to the X Games portion where you launch off the monster ramp for the insane jumps(Youtube X Games Fall...wow).

You can also get on Live and skate against other players in different competitions which is real dope.

If you've bought the Tony Hawk games, definitely cop this.

I've been following this cat for sometime now. Most people would call his videos the most ignorant shit on Earth, but fuck it...If Americans can be ignorant enough to believe we're at war for a good cause then this dude is a walk in the park.

Beyond.FM's focus is in "exposing digital content to the masses and allowing artists, musicians and photographers to create awareness and new-found revenue streams." From the Beyond.FM website:

As the mainstream Music/Record/Entertainment Industry fights over competing methods to aggravate the consumer and offer discouraging DRM techniques, continuously finding new ways to make the common American citizen feel like a common criminal, the time is NOW for a paradigm shift bringing the "personal," "social," and "meaningful" music purchasing experience BACK to the consumer.

If this model works, this will be a very good look for a lot of us!

Happy New Year to everyone! Hope none of ya'll woke up on someone's lawn at 7:30am lol (trust me, it's possible).

I've been off the blog a little bit trying to enjoy the holidays and get away from the almighty net.

I couldn't have asked for a better holiday than the one I had this year. Not only did I finally get an iPod (I'm serious...), get surprised with an XBox 360, but ya man took the plunge and got engaged! Still feels crazy sayin it, but I wouldn't change it for the world. Love You baby!

Ok, so now it's 2008 and the motivation couldn't be more on point than it is now. Expect a lot of new music this year with ya man's stamp on it from Soul Street Symphony, Shakespeare, Phase One, Major League, Lucian, Kurious, etc.

Time to get stupid!!
