What's hot?
Artists from the "low country" have a great chance to succeed simply because they can roll back and forth to Atlanta and perform in talent shows and make those essential contacts. But you have guys like DJ Chuck T (Charlotte), DJ B-Lord (Florence County), and Charlamagne da God (SC) who have...- shadeed

What's hot?
Well, G.O.D. based on my field research (a few hundred concerts/festivals/showcases this year), I'm really digging the hip-hop talent coming from the Carolinas. Similar to the Midwest, many of the artists have a fusion of styles that range from boom-bap hip-hop to music for the trunks/Heavy...- shadeed

Selling Beats To Industry Connects
I won't speak on the legitimacy, however you should look into obtaining a Tax ID number that is used in the place of your SSN. In today's world of identity theft and worse, you should be super-careful of giving out your social.- shadeed

48 Laws of Power - YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS FOR THE RAP GAME.
The info laid out in that book are based on Universal Laws, if you apply them you will have "special powers over people" because you'll have a framework on how to handle yourself in most situations. If you study people or simply slow down and observe, you'll quickly notice how people in... -
48 Laws of Power - YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS FOR THE RAP GAME.
As always G-O-D, good info and this book is incredible. As a sidenote, Robert Greene and 50 Cent have teamed up to release The 50 Laws of Power, which is supposed to be the 48 Laws interpreted to the Hip-Hop world and the street game. Disclaimer: Don't read this book and think you'll be... -

Had a convo with a friend the other day....
I don't believe that there is an "Underground" in a traditional sense anymore. The internet blurred the lines with that. If your music and/or your show is good, you will draw a following. Immortal Tech is not your typical artist. He's probably holds some of the highest principles of any... -
When should Dre have dropped Detox?
Dre's "run" as the "God" producer is starting to end, because he's coasting off his reputation instead of continously reminding people why he is Dre. He's one of very few producers that I actually believe can put together a classic album anytime he wants to, because he knows the ingredients... -
I just had another article published
Good overall article and I added the info I particularly liked below. When artists and/or managers/indie labels ask me "What's the main thing I should do to get my music out there?" My answer is typically to "take a sales course". I read How to Win Friends and Influence People when I was 15...- shadeed

What did you have to give up when you moved out?
I moved out when I was younger and I was single with no kids so the transition wasn't as difficult. I remember not wanting to take on any unnecessary bills such as cable, a pager (beeper), or anything of that sort, just the basics. I was able to save a LOT of money which I ultimately used to...- shadeed

"rap City" Replaced By "the Deal"
BET dropped the ball by letting an hip-hop institution such as Rap City become a joke. It was a time period I remember vividly when they started just playing ANYTHING and that's when the brand was watered down.- shadeed

I predict Chicago blows up !!!
Anybody right now can literally build a business from the Obama - Mania, Sarah Palin-Mania too. To give some insight into taking advantage: I'm launching a site JUST to show people from out-of-state how to get properly situated for the Inaugration in DC travel and lodging-wise. I have... -
I predict Chicago blows up !!!
Nope. If any Chicago rappers had a smart team behind them and used Barack's success as part of their marketing strategy, then yes they would blow up. Oprah doesn't nor wouldn't support 90% of the rappers coming out of Chicago. The area that will benefit the most from all of this new interest... -

Top 5 things that will happen now that Obama is President
During this election year, I actually caught myself thinking "I need a lady that will go out and CAMPAIGN for me" Most dudes can't get their lady to get the remote for them while their sitting on the couch. Add-ons I also think that Politics will become the new "Pink on Men/Louie...- shadeed

Top 5 things that will happen now that Obama is President
Since Obama is the new male standard in the country, look for women to expect men to expect more from guys these days. I think marriage rates will go up in the next 2 years as well due to the perfect image that the 1st family gives off.- shadeed

How Much Illmuzik is Worth!!!!
#1 and #2 would be allhiphop.com and sohh.com in terms of hip-hop- both are/were slightly over a million, although both were the victim of a hacker plot to take both sites down. Sohh.com lost a LOT of traffic and allhiphop shut down its wildly successful forums so i don't know if that impacted...- shadeed
