State of the Site Address - 2008

I know that I promised y’all my Top 100 songs and Top 20 albums of 2007 today, as well as my 2008 predictions later in the week, but the condo drama has pretty much guaranteed that it won’t be possible until next week at the earliest.

However, some good news: 2008 is gonna be major.

1. First off, I’m officially putting my feet into the music business. (and I mean “business” in the sense that I may lose money.) That concept album that I’ve been putting off for the past 4 months is finally getting off the ground. I was going to delay it for another couple of months…that was until some phone calls that I had come my way today. If all goes well, its gonna drop around the end of February, but I still haven’t even scratched the surface in terms of marketing, promotion, etc so thats just a random guess at the moment. (AND PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME YOUR DEMO, ASK TO GET ON THE ALBUM, ETC. I ALREADY HAVE ARTISTS BOOKED AND LINED UP FOR THIS PROJECT THANKS.)
2. Just like Oh Word, I’m going to relaunch the site at some point in the future with a new redesign. I really appreciating the love that I’ve gotten from all the major Hip-Hop sites, but I definitely want to focus on other forms of Black music that get little appreciation from the mainstream and personally, my tastes in music are changing (or reverting back to what they were 7 years ago if you know me well). To most readers, I’ve been doing that already, but me personally, I know I could do better. I should be beating y’all across the head to check out such acts like 4Hero instead of delving into the record label created “beef” between Kanye and 50. Once the site is redesigned I’m going to break it up into sections, so the grown and sexy can have their R&B/Neo Soul, Hipsters can have the DJ section, etc.
3. The Podcast is definitely going to be back in ‘08. I’m trying to develop a new logo and format for the ‘cast which will hopefully take a life of its own. But don’t expect anything until
4. There is some other stuff I got cookin’ in the pot, but I won’t reveal those plans until most likely this summer. I don’t want other blogs gankin’ my steez (as the kids say), so stay tuned!

Like We Always Do At This Time

2007 was a good year. “Good”, not “great”. Nevertheless I find it pointless to reminisce about things in the past. Learn from the past and look towards the future I say.

I really dislike how people are all excited because its a new year, and they now have a new chance at things. People if you want to lose weight, start a clothing company, or clean up your credit, waiting until January 1st, or second because you partied so hard on the 1st, is extra lame. I don’t think you should pick a date and say “today is th eday my life changes”. No sir buddy. Not me.

EVERYDAY is a new chance, a new beginning. In 2008 I truly believe that everyone is 1 phone call and 2 emails away from achieving anything they want in life. At the same time your grind has to be strong. Everyone has a blog, digital camera, or is a DJ. Its what you do with those tools/skills that will separate you from everyone else.

This isn’t some motivational speech, this is just me speaking. I pretty much keep it real positive and try to bring the best out of my people at all times. I’m excited about the new year because I spoke to my man from college that I hadn’t spoken to in 6 years yesterday. To hear him speak about being able to finish school, on the verge of starting a family, and working was excellent. Thats my dude so I’ve been riding high since we spoke.

To end my rant, because there really was no purpose or direction I was just free lancing:
- go to the grocery store and buy some healthy items. Pick one night a week to pig out and keep that to a minimum.
- go after the job you’ve been wanting for a lifetime
- go after the girl/guy you’ve wanted. The worst they can say is no.
- create. Stop being a consumer and create something others want.

I may catch flack for this, whatever. If its that real of a problem so be it. If not get to sweating, baking, and emailing and thank me around August.
