    9.58

    For a guy his size and height, it takes him longer to reach top speed, which is why the 200m typically is a race better for taller guys. He's training and working on his first 30 meters out of the blocks and once he gets that perfected, in the right race he can high 9.48-9.50.

    How Important is RELEVANCY?

    I understand your point but nowadays the attention span of the consumer has decreased and in today's world it benefits hip-hop artists to tap into other channels to keep their brand present in the subconscious of their target market. Nas hosting 106 and Park would be a lame attempt at...

    Whats wrong with hip hop??

    I don't know if there's anything "wrong" with it. There is a changing of the guard and many of the mainstays of the past 10-15 years are getting up in age and a new crowd is coming in that many don't identify with because its not an offspring of the previous generation w/ the exception of the...

    Classic or hit song!

    For what its worth Illmuzik, Nelly's name has been thrown around in this thread as to say his music is the definition of "hit songs". Country Grammar is a classic album, one of the top 10 greatest albums from the Midwest and Nelly's dropped a few absolute classic singles, as many of you who...

    Classic or hit song!

    Bret Michaels is probably in his 40s now - glad he's able to make a 2nd career for himself, didn't see that one coming. Hip hop is definitely not touring at the level of rock classic artists, that wasn't my point. You mentioned that hip-hop is a young man's game and I pointed out that times have...

    Classic or hit song!

    Your opinion is definitely accurate if we're discussing the viewpoint of hip hop in maybe the mid 90s up to the early 2000s. Today in 2009, age is less of a factor in hip hop than ever before and I'll explain why. Hip Hop has always traditionally been a young man's game but the advances in...

    Classic or hit song!

    Good question. The truth is it doesn't matter what you write or produce, if your paperwork isn't in order to receive credit for that output, then its irrelevant. Case-In-Point: Grandmaster Caz wrote Rappers Delight for the Sugar Hill Gang, but he didn't have any type of split-sheet or...

    Want To Network with as many of you as i can (I'm a rapper)

    Welcome to Illmuzik. After reading your post, my thought is that you should cut out the middleman and find a way to get a basic recording setup for yourself. The fact that you're in a situation where you have to rely on others to "let you record" is never a good thing. It's how a lot of us...

    Micheal Jackson died !?!?!

    The passing of MJ was very personal for me, not in a sense that I am a MJ fanatic, but when I thought about it his music was the soundtrack throughout many major moments in my life from very early childhood to early adulthood. From performing MJ dance routines in talent shows, to taking old...

    Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival - June 20th

    LOL. Still no Joell Ortiz on the bill. He criticized Brooklyn Bodega in its first year of the event about not having the "real Brooklyn" out there. Dahk, will you be taking photos for this event?

    Guru from Gangstarr rapping with autotune, KILL ME NOW!!

    GURU is caught between a rock and a hard place musically. I think from now until the moment he hangs up the mic, he'll forever be linked to DJ Premier, even though they haven't released music as Gangstarr in quite some time. I applaud GURU's effort to move forward musically - and as an...

    Question For God.

    Lots of good discussion. I'll add on. From your posts in this thread, you seem to view it as a downside or a negative that you currently live in Norway. The point I want you to consider is that if your overall gameplan isn't thought out and developed to accompany a good quality sample of...

    If not hiphop what music would you like to do?

    Reggae specifically dancehall will always be my favorite type of music - probably would put all my energy into being the #1 (wikkedest) selektah around. If I still was overseas I would spin D&B, so many clubs to play - options are limitless. I would definitely be in a go-go band. That...

    Whatever happened to Screwball??

    Poet just dropped an entire album produced by Premier on Year Round Records.

    Skype Me? Skype You Mutha!&%#@*

    Thanks. I'll take your opinion as a compliment. Just adding my viewpoints to the Skype discussion just like everyone else. Keep it moving and good luck with all you do.

    You're checking in from Yoko Japan? Are you on ship or shore?

    How about THIS for a recording studio?

    An workspace like that breeds inspiration everytime you step into the building. Would have loved to intern there. First thing I thought when I saw the pics was "I would definitely host a meeting there" and sure enough they have corporate options and the concierge is a good touch as well.

    Skype Me? Skype You Mutha!&%#@*

    Skype is yet another way to take your discussions offline from email or "friends/followers" on your favorite social networking site to face-to-face meetings to close the deal or get your foot in the door. Really effective if you can influence your network to embrace Skype (and other...

    anyone twitter?

    Thanks. Don't assume however, that myspace, facebook, twitter, so on/so forth is a substitute for face-to-face interaction. My social media usage is counter-culture, in that typically my online communities consist of people that I plan or expect to meet in person. I don't typically add...
