50 Cent releases taped conversations with Young Buck - pretty effed up.
50 Cent released taped phone convos between him and Young Buck. Taping convos is part of the game, for those that don't know - so 50 is handling business. From a 'hood perspective, I think it's fucked up - but Young Buck is CRYING on the second call. Here's the blog post with the... -

Hulk/Edward Norton - an artist fighting against the Hollywood system
... or something like that. Damn hangover makes me incapable of writing good headlines. I read this in the L.A. Times a while back, and heard some people talking about it. Props to Edward Norton for not being pushed around like a bitch by the movie studios and directors. I always liked him...- God

Video Electronic Press Kits (EPK)
Video EPK is almost standard now. Here are two examples, one is from Jonathan Frost - it's different - and the other is from Mase and T.I. - those are more traditional. If you have any video editing skills, you should think about doing this. Jonathan Frost Mase Do a search on YouTube for... -
Thoughts on elitism and conspiracy threads here.
I noticed a lot of posts on conspiracies and elitism/class type shit in threads. I'm not going to argue over their validity or not - it's not worth my time and it's something you can't prove/disprove/whatever. Plausible deniability is a tough bitch to fight against. What I am going to say is...- God

Writing a Press Release (Inspired by Smash Brothers)
Look, I haven't written a release in a long time, but when I write one – you have to GRAB THE REPORTER'S FUCKING ATTENTION with your subject line. Some of you reporter fucks will say that it should be more “standard.” I didn't check this for grammar (important) and if it works with AP style... -

Wake up! Videos and press clips are IMPORTANT!
This pisses me the fuck off more than anything, because it is SO fucking easy to make, and SO many people fuck this up, cheapening their value when they're shopping for a deal. 1. Videos I DON'T mean videos like the shit you see on MTV. Videos where you lip-synch in front of an Escalade... -
Truth hurts - Find an investor for your project to get signed.
Hi everybody. I figured I would slap you again with a dose of reality, especially the cats looking for record deals. Your odds are increased exponentially when you find an investor. By "investor" I don't mean a dumbass that just gives you money and lets your artistic/unbusiness self run the... -
Subliminal messages/Conditioning/Backmasking in songs/production
I read a post by Relic on the "Lollipop" thread -- and he raised an interesting question. Why the fuck do so many people like a song that overtly shows no inherent value? The song in question is "Lollipop" by Lil' Wayne. Then LDB raised the other obvious point-- the song is essentially about... -
NBA MVP- Chris Paul or Kobe Bryant?

Craziest shit your girl has accused you of, when you actually didn't do it.

Production opinions? Lil' Wayne - Lollipop.
Why is this song successful. Is it just because it's Lil' Wayne? They run his voice through Melodyne or ATR, there is a weak song structure. The only real hook is the riff in the background. Is it the novelty of the ATR being run through Lil Wayne's voice that's doing this? What am I... -
