Internet – gift or a curse: Can you say GRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT… the internet made it an even playing field. I come from the era of pressing wax, tapes and CDs. It was expensive as ever to promote your music back then. A lot of the new artists don’t know how good they got it. It’s essentially free to promote your music now. Now your talent actually means something. Although it wasn’t as saturated as it is now but I always believe, good music is good music and will always find its way to fans. CDs are still important because not everyone is on a computer. As for print mags, they are still important but don’t hold as much weight as they once did, everything is all about online now.
Hangouts: I am a studio rat; I like to be in the studio working on music. I learned its best to stay ahead of the game and have as much music in the stash as possible. I like to spend my free time with my family, at the movies, I love the outdoors too.
Favorites:
SONG: Me against the world by 2pac,
VIDEO: Self Destruction video by KRS-ONE,
TOUR: The Up in Smoke Tour was crazy
MOVIE: any movie with Adam Sandler (Mr. Deeds, Big Daddy, etc…)
PRODUCER: Focus… of Aftermath Ent.,RZA and Neptune’s.
BOOKS: Rich dad Poor Dad and The Alchemist.
The future of Hip-Hop: Looking good, so many people are tired of the quality of music in the past few years that artists are finally stepping up making good music again. It’s only going to get better. Got to think positive ya know…
**ELECTION FEVER** Obama or McCain: Obama because him being half black, and having a black wife, he can relate to a lot of the issues many minorities face and I really think he will put the people first. I really hope he wins, it is so important for everyone to vote.
Hidden Secrets: I’m an Xbox junkie, I love playing Xbox Live. I am also a basketball junkie, I love playing ball, its therapy for me and great exercise too.
Hardest thing about the game: Trying to get a record deal. It’s really tuff now, especially for all those artists still trying to submit demos. Those days are pretty much over with. You now have to treat yourself like a company and market your product and get it out there
