Why do artist flop?

I've noticed something about Hip Hop and R&B artists' (mainly) when they promote every album after their first album. They don't promote the album they promote themselves. You as a fan/supporter are no longer buying the music you're buying the artist, the image, the character designed for you to love and believe in. Music sells the first album and the artist sells every album after that. I can just imagine how the conversation goes, the label exec says to the artist and A&R you just sold 2 million records on your first album they love "you" (not the music) so this album we're not going to hire the best producers or songwriters all we need is a good first single and they're going to buy the album 4 million times this time. Sadly it doesn't work that way but you can count on half the sales to return but by the 3rd album you're irrelevant and they just signed someone new so you spend the rest of your career reviving it. 

LET MUSIC SELL MUSIC NOT PEOPLE.

Malcolm X Day

February 21, 2009 marks the 44Th year anniversary (hate using that word for this) of Malcolm X's assassination. Honestly if I can be any other man it would be this man. "Fuck all these other uncle tom so called negro leaders" (Al Sharpton) as said by the man himself. Malcolm deserves his own day just like the slave masters and other civil rights leaders before him and whats even more sad is that his death took place during black history month and niggas still don't recognize. I wonder what he'd say about that New York Post cartoon, hmmm.

Do You Believe.....Yet?

598,000 JOBS CUT IN JANUARY 2009..........AND THAT'S THE TRUTH, RUTH.

Hope you (most likely shouldn't) believe in....

Now as an American who is descendant of African heritage (yes I am from Nigeria) I am as happy as the next black man about having half a black man in the White House but as an individual my beliefs and agenda will not be compromised and thrown away because they through us (blacks) a bone.

First of all to become president of the United States you have to be part of a secret society such as Skull & Bones, Free Masons, etc and you don't win the job you are picked for it. don't think for one second that the "President" runs the country and I'm not talking about checks and balances this world  and I mean world is ran on debts and challenges. Where there is power there is a white man....bottom line. I don't know where you've been but America is not in power anymore. America is no longer the older brother who can bully and push around the younger siblings, these other countries are all grown up now and not having it.

When anything losses it's power they give it to a black man to run. Cities, Senate seats, and States elect black officials when all hope is gone. The country's morale was so poor and the people was so fed up that they said we gotta pull the wool over their eyes, make them believe again and then we can continue with our hidden agenda. I mean they had to show "growth" and "change" or deal with revolution. Passport applications are at an all time high, relocation's out the country are up and people are starting to see America for what it is....full of shit and hypocritical.  

Barack Obama being elected took over the entire world and was a strategy put in place by the government to try and win the people back and not just the people of America but of the world. This thing is global now. Everybody got all happy and riled up and for what? as I type Panasonic cut 15,000 jobs, Time Warner cut 1,200 and Disney is down 32%. It's getting worse before it's gets better and all Barack is and will be is a Band-Aid on Cancer and if we want change we have to do it ourselves as individuals. So when all this Obama-mania is over be ready to revolt because you'll fell the same way you did 2 years ago. Peace.

Kick Game Proper...

As you all know I am a sneaker fanatic, I'm especially a fan of anything exclusively released. Like my most prized pair which is 1 of 76 "Lebron Zoom 5 Mr. Basketball's" which can easily go for $1,500 right now and I wore them twice. Nice. The guy in picture above with me is the Legendary DJ Clark Kent (his resume is too extensive so google him but just to give you an idea he discovered Jay-Z and told Columbia to sign NaS). He is also a sneaker collector but he specializes in Air Force 1's and oh baby did I see some sugar honey ice tea at his Niketown event last night.

First of all you had to RSVP for the event (which I failed to do) and the line was wrapped around and stretched all the way down Fifth Avenue. Fortunately for me Clark Kent is the homie and one call got me right in. It was a real nice event, Clark had the music going and without any doing on my part he was playing his favorite unsigned artist from The Bronx throughout the night (some kid name Emcee Nova). The sneaker heads were in full effect and it was the kind of event I could go to everyday (fuck the club). But there was this one pair of AF1's that he had in his collection designed by Mayor (picture below) and it blew my mind. Denim material, red patent leather swoosh and not just an icy bottom but the entire midsole was icy. I glorified 'em so much that mayor told me to call him and he would gladly give me the $850 customized pair designed to my liking with no problem (all because Clark is the homie). Anyway check out the shoe and show some respect.
