Black History month. Remembering all the people that fought and struggled so that African Americans can be in the positions they are in today. Read, Langston Hughes' - "Let America Be America Again"
For all you Mensa (high IQ - top 2%, smart MFs) candidates this is a review; hence view of the stuff that happened. I got some feedback on the January Review, thanks for the positive comments. I am not in the industry, so I don't have access to all the marketing and promo stuff sent out to those who are; I just give you my view on what I see and hear. From the book of Jay-Z quotes "Can I Live!"
The Grammy's came and went with a lot of hip but not much said and not much noise for Hip Hop. The expected winners in each category won; interesting that Hip Hop was not the main draw in this year's awards show. No Kayne blowing up backstage, no Jamie Foxx getting awards, no record breaking album sales, no real reason for white folks to take notice of Hip Hop, hence the de-emphasis. Why the mention of Kayne and Jamie, on the real, it is "Show Business"; Kayne was controversial with his Bush comments, and Jamie is that cross-over comic and folks didn't know he could sing.

"It doesn't do anyone any good, whether it's a journalist on TV or a rapper on the radio."
The sale of "crack music" as Kayne would put it, has been temporarily postponed, but not cancelled. The sale of mixtapes which use to be an underground thing, hit the clubs, then the flea markets, then the streets; has allowed DJs' to become popular off of someone elses creative property without having to pay taxes or royalties. This is the wake up call; wake up, crack music sells, but the BOSS MAN wants his cut. The Hook-Up for DJs' and artists, an underground market for the streets, the mixtape format feeds a need for both the artist and the streets. Well the record business is hitting back. The recent crack down on the mixtape market culminated with the arrest of DJ Drama and DJ Don Cannon in Atlanta on Racketeering charges. It was the Record Industry Association of America that initiated the raid with the assistance of the Feds. What's going on in the Hip Hop industry? DJ Drama has a close association with TI, Lil Wayne and other heavy hitters, was about to release a new album. Is this just a publicity...
