A Tribute to the King of Pop (Tonight @ OPERA)



If you didn't have a 5-on-5 dance battle against 5 random ppl wearing white gloves and 4 of your friends then you probably didn't properly lament the passing of Michael Jackson. This might be you last chance to have that experience...though I dount the golved ones will be there.

Fray Wall put me on this, so if you don't have fun blame him.

thanks

Everyday Thoughts from Random People (Vol 3)

• If I say "You're killing me, Smalls" and the person I'm talking to
looks at me with confusion and doesn't know why I've called them
Smalls, I question why I'm friends with them.

• I think the worst STD you could ever get is babies.

• I wonder when Will Smith will get the script for the Obama biography movie.

• "I heard it through the grapevine" should be replaced with "I saw it
on Facebook".

• Why is "No." the abbreviation for number? There's not even an o in
the word number.

• Capri Suns never had enough juice in them.

• Quit tailgating me, I'll speed up when I finish typing this text.

• Yesterday my mother called me to tell me that she had gone out to
lunch with a bunch of her female friends the day before. During the
lunch one of her friends said "Oh, guess what I did last night?" To
which my mom responded "Took it up the butt?" I don't know what makes
me more proud, the fact that my 55 year old mother came up with
something like that on the fly, or that she felt the need to let me
know.

• I just saw about 5 people I know at the supermarket and managed to
avoid them all. It was awesome.

• Sandwiches always taste better when someone else makes them.

• The Sunday struggle: not showering because I want to workout. Not
working out because I really don't want to.

• "Seemed like a good idea at the time" is always the right answer.

• Somehow, no matter how tired I am, going on the computer keeps me up
and alert for hours. Wish class or work had the same effect.

• They still have not found a cure for a hangover. Good luck, cancer.

• Sometimes I wonder if philosophers were actually that much smarter
than everyone else, or if they were just the only ones who remembered
to write down all the cool shit they thought of in the shower.

A3C Festival 2009 --- Press Release


GET READY for The A3C Festival coming up Oct 1-3 in EAST ATLANTA...

-----------------------------

The A3C Hip Hop Festival organizers announced their first round of partners today for the 5th installment of the annual A3C Hip Hop Festival taking place across multiple venues in the East Atlanta Village October 1-3, 2009.

MySpace, Red Bull, URB Magazine, Frank 151, Stones Throw Records, Okayplayer, Fusicology, Wax Poetics, Definitive Jux, Duck Down Records, Fatbeats, Babygrande, Tres Records, The Hydrilla and The Bench top the list of partners announced today by The A3C Hip Hop Festival.

Brian Knott, A3C Hip Hop Festival founder explains, “When we made our changes for this year, we knew to be successful, we needed the support of the strongest brands in the Hip Hop world to provide fans and industry alike with an event seen in the same light as a SXSW or CMJ Marathon. Our vision is for the A3C to have all facets of Hip Hop converge in one place and at one time, and be the launching point for what’s next in the space. The only way for us to accomplish this goal is through a shared vision with literally hundreds of partners who are shaping the face of Hip Hop culture in the studio, at the record store, on the radio, on the web, and in the streets, on a daily basis.”

The A3C has been fast at work for months with their partners developing day and nighttime music showcases, art installations, equipment demonstrations, street dance events, panel discussions, and networking parties in an effort to bring together many of the most relevant faces in Hip Hop culture.

“Working with the A3C over the last 3 years has been an incredible experience. When we heard about the new format, we were extremely anxious to be involved. The festival’s audience is a perfect match for several of our national and international music and break-dance events. The A3C understands how to work with us to credibly communicate Red Bull’s innovative programing to attendees. They work closely with us to ensure that we stay true to the Red Bull brand and bring content to true lovers of the Hip Hop community and to advance their art and culture” says Janet Smith (Southeast Culture Marketing Manager for Red Bull North America).

The A3C is continuing to work on additional partnerships to bring the best in Hip Hop programming to the weekend-long festival in Atlanta. Specific showcase, panel, and artist updates will be announced through the festival’s website beginning June 29th and continuing through the event’s start on October 1st. More information about becoming involved in the A3C as an artist, partner, volunteer, or media representative can be found at www.a3cfestival.com.

ABOUT THE A3C: Now in its 5th year, the A3C Hip Hop Festival is a 2-day, 3-night event held annually in Atlanta, GA featuring live performances from some of Hip Hop’s most elite artists. The live performance schedule is enhanced by day and evening events showcasing some of the most exciting break-dance, graphic art, fashion, film, equipment demonstrations and panels relating to Hip Hop culture.

Pill - "Trap Goin' Ham" Video Teaser (Motion Family)



Keep it in the family...

SMKA recorded a song with Pill last week, and Motion Family just shot Pill's first music video "Trap Goin' Ham." Pill is flat out sick! He is one of the most talented underground artists I know of and is going to blow very soon. I wasn't convinced at first, but after meeting and working with Pill, I now have no doubt.

Congrats on the video, and can't wait to see it. And from what I heard the video shoot was fucking crazy/ hilarious. It involved several crackheads and a taser...

Big ups to Motion Family!!! (www.motionfamily.com)

Clear Channel is DONE... in about 6 Months

Got this article off (http://hiphopandpolitics.wordpress.com)...its well written and insightful. Worth READING...



Clear Channel is done.

The next six to nine months will constitute what I believe will be their swan song as a consolidated radio company. None of us can take any joy in this.

The economy isn’t helping.

It’s killing over-leveraged radio owners on their debt repayment. Some stations are actually making money, but not enough to pay down huge corporate debt – the debt that was purchased when they put together their radio clusters.

This piece is about what radio will be like after Clear Channel is broken up.

But first, the reason why we’re having this discussion in the first place.

The investment companies of Lee Capital Partners and Bain Media made a mistake when they went through with the acquisition of Clear Channel (radio and outdoor) to the tune of about $20 billion. The banks gave them an out. Lee & Bain refused to take it.

They knowingly walked down a dangerous path acquiring a company in a declining industry with a recession bearing down.

I’ve asked financial analysts to try and explain to me how smart investors could do such a thing and the answer I received was – for the fees.

Lee & Bain profited by closing the deal. Perhaps they didn’t think things would get this bad, but they have.

Recent attempts to bully their lenders into a more favorable debt arrangement seems to be failing. Clear Channel could be in bankruptcy by the end of the year or the first quarter of 2010.

The company appears to be battening down the hatches for the inevitable.

Wall Street buyout companies are used to winning and losing. They have done plenty of both. It comes with the game. But the one constant – fees – is what drives the buyout market.

I believe that Lee & Bain will be uprooted from this situation if and when the company seeks bankruptcy protection.

Bankruptcy is a slippery slope to say the least.

The fate of the company is in the hands of a bankruptcy judge. Other interests, including those of the investors and creditors seeking to avoid a full haircut are also a factor, but…

It is more likely in my view that much or all of Clear Channel will eventually be broken up – sold off to raise as much revenue as possible.

The present management may also be kicked aside – again, a bankruptcy judge has a lot of influence here.

Clear Channel is already acting like there is no tomorrow.

What do you call gutting the stations, cutting every possible expense and using repeater radio content from national syndicators and their network to fill up the airwaves? Even Clear Channel Radio President John Slogan Hogan isn’t that dumb. He’s taking orders. I don’t believe he would do this without a gun to his head.

What employees are left when the end comes will not exactly be in a strong position. And former employees with severance agreements or retirees could have their futures jeopardized.

Again, the court makes the call.

It should also be noted that Clear Channel isn’t the only large radio group to face bankruptcy. I believe Cumulus and Citadel are goners as well. They may be lucky enough (or unlucky enough as the case may be) to turn more of their equity into debt repayment but eventually they will have to pay the piper.

And, there doesn’t seem to be a huge interest among debt holders to own more of these mismanaged, over-leveraged radio companies.

As an aside, I want to remind you that you and I didn’t cause this problem so when we discuss it — as depressing as it is — do not forget how radio got to this juncture. You could look the other way, believe the happy talk that radio associations and others try to peddle or you could deal with the inevitable.

Because ultimately, the decline of three of the biggest radio consolidators will affect many of you.

If Citadel goes down before Clear Channel, it would be less devastating than the number one consolidator going bankrupt. As we have learned from the past in strategic financial management, programming or sales, when Clear Channel gets a cold, the radio industry gets pneumonia.

Having said that, there is an interesting scenario I see ahead – not all bad or all good and certainly with many risks.

Let me take you through radio after Clear Channel, in my opinion, step by step:

1. There is unlikely to be a buyer for the entire Clear Channel radio chain.

2. There may be a buyer for the outdoor division – maybe.

3. Clear Channel’s radio stations will eventually be sold off to offset the massive losses incurred in advance of the bankruptcy filing.

4. Multiples for radio stations – please sit down here – will be for the best price offered in some markets and no higher than 4x cash flow on average in the largest markets. Radio is a damaged business thanks to consolidation and it will be reflected in the painful process of selling off stations that were once overpriced for a lot less.

5. Many stations will be returned to the marketplace where eager buyers – those who have radio in their blood – will be ready to put together a group to operate. This is a good thing for the audience and not necessarily a good thing for the buyers. Turning radio around will be tough.

6. As in the past, any new buyer who picks up stations in the Clear Channel bankruptcy will have a hard time making it work if they do not buy the station with debt they can handle in a recession and in a world where the next generation will not be their audience – ever.

7. Thus, good radio people who have been waiting for this moment may be the unwitting victims of consolidation one more time – the inability to build a growth franchise on only two generations – X and Baby Boomers, both aging.

8. There is an unintended consequence from Clear Channel’s eventual demise and that is the detonation of terrestrial radio in the eyes of advertisers and agencies. The way back is to build local stations with a local presence – and the next successful radio owners will probably know how to do this.

9. Then there is the legacy factor – Clear Channel will be leaving systems in place that new owners may end up embracing including voice tracking (hey, it’s okay on the all-night show and some weekend dayparts, right?) and no traffic directors. In other words, once an owner, some of these good-hearted radio operators may find it hard to undo less is more.

Thoughts from Random People (Vol 2)

• Literally means exactly as you describe, dumbass. "I can't believe
they fired me, I literally put my heart and soul into this job.." No,
no you didn't. Unless you worked at an Aztec temple and they demanded
sacrifice, you did not literally do shit.

• Eating dessert, skipping class, and having sex all have one thing in
common. Once the idea crosses your mind it's almost impossible not to
do it, and if someone else says it out loud, it's 100% going to
happen.

• Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their
profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got
the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if
I do!

• My brother's Municipal League baseball team is named the Stepdads.
Seeing as none of the guys on the team are actual stepdads, I inquired
about the name. He explained, "Cuz we beat you, and you hate us".
Classy, bro.

• It doesn't matter if you are in a relationship or not. Valentine's
Day almost always fucking sucks.

• There's nothing as strong as the bond between two people who usually
don't like each other but have found out they share a dislike for the
same person.

• Fuck you oncoming car with halogen headlights.
• When I'm stir frying and microwaving at the same time I like to
pretend I'm on Iron Chef. "Well Alton it look's like he has added the
sauce packet with only 20 seconds remaining on the microwave timer.
Let's hope he has time for plating."

• Quit calling yourself fat if you are clearly not fat. I am not going
to say you're not anymore. I'm just going to nod and make that ehhhh
kinda sound.

• Those not in a committed relationship, when was the last time you
had sex... sober?

Femi Kuti & King Sunny Ade @ Variety Playhouse TONIGHT


Born in London and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, Femi Kuti's musical career started when he began playing in his father's band, Egypt 80. In 1986, Femi started his own band, Positive Force, and began establishing himself as an artist independent of his father's massive legacy. Practicing a similar style of Afro-beat as his father, Femi helped introduce the percussive blend of jazz and funk music to the international masses beginning in the mid-'90s, along with his father's same sense of political activism.




King Sunny Ade is the undisputed king of juju music, the dance-inspiring hybrid of western pop and traditional African music with roots in the guitar tradition of Nigeria. After over 40 years making music, Ade and his band, His African Beats, continue to weave an infectious blend of electric guitars, synthesizers and multi-layered percussion.

B.o.B vs. Bobby Ray (Mixtape Coming Soon)



Just a little tid bit from our homie Bob.

I think they got the week off then headin to LA for a show.

Thought's from Random People (Vol 1)

RANDOM THOUGHTS....

• The English language needs a word to describe the situation where
two people start talking at the same time, then both stop at the same
time, then both offer that the other go first at the same time.

• Im pretty sure I get 'self beer goggles'. The more beers I drink the
hotter I appear in the mirror. Sad downfall to reality when I see
those facebook photos of the previous night and realize how awful I
actually look when wasted.

• I'm pretty content with our occasional hookups, at least until
someone better comes around...

• The scariest 10 seconds ever is when you are double checking who you
just sent a text message to... just in case.

• The next girl that complains to me about not having any money, while
carrying a Coach purse is going to get punched in the face.

• I don't understand why everyone with superpowers is either a
superhero or a supervillain. What about superlazy? If I was Spiderman,
I would use my powers to get my ass the remote. Oh, my stupid roommate
left it next to the TV? THWAPP. If I was the Human Torch, I would
never ever wait for my oven to get to 350. I would have Funfetti cake
now. And if I was Mr. Fantastic, well I'll let your imagination run
with that one, but let's just say I wouldn't leave my house often.

• I have the deepest desire for my turn signal to be perfectly in sync
with the person in front of me.

• Me? Oh no. I didn't stay here and let my dreams slowly die in the
same backwater town I grew up in, like you did. I'm just home for the
holidays. Well, it's nice seeing you. Bye.

• When I'm at a bar and I run out of things to say to someone, I'll
often squint at a nearby TV just to make it look like I'm really
concentrating.

• As a former bouncer at a bar, I don't think that there is anything
funnier than turning on the ugly lights at 2am and watching the looks
on peoples faces, as they realize what they are about to sleep with.

• I came to the realization this morning that I don't need Google, or
Wikipedia, ever again because apparently my wife fucking knows
everything.

• Yeah I fucked you. When we make eye contact in a bar the least you
could do is nod and lift your beer.

• Dear snow, Yes, you are very pretty but none the less fuck you.

• I wish my office had a confessional like on the 'Real World'

• I wish Taco Bell delivered.

• I wonder how much of my memory is devoted to song lyrics.

• Verizon Wireless, could you please give me a few more time intervals
to choose from when it comes to the "snooze" option on your cell
phones? Having to hit the snooze button again every 5 minutes is a
terrible joke to play on someone and a complete pain in the ass for
me.

• Do you ever feel like the pharmacists are judging you when you drop
off a prescription?
