STATE OF THE MUSIC BUSINESS, NETWORKING, INNOVATION & THE ABSENCE OF CONSUMER ANTICPATION"

EARLIER TODAY I GOT A CALL ABOUT WARNER MUSIC GROUP BEING BOUGHT BY RICHARD BRANSON. NO NOT THAT BRANSON!  

WITH THIS LYOR COHEN IS SELLING HIS WARNER MUSIC STOCK & THE MORBID FEELING AT 1290 AVE. OF AMERICAS FROM EMPLOYEES SHOULD BE A WARNING TO ALL BUDGET BLEEDERS. 

HIP HOP IS ENTERTAINMENT's STEPCHILD. THERE ARE TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS INVESTED IN THIS BUSINESS NOT MENTION THE AMOUNT OF FINANCIAL LEAPS & OPPORTUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN PARTICULARLY TO PEOPLE OF COLOR.

THIS IS A REVOLUTION IN ITS OWN.

PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER LEFT THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD BLOCK SEE THE WORLD & BECOME ICONS B/C OF HIP HOP. THIS ISN'T A COLOR ISSUE BUT A MONEY ISSUE. 

HIP HOP INNOVATION, BRANDING & ARTIST DEVELOPMENT IS INSTINCT. I SAY INNOVATION B/C THE CULTURE TRANSCENDED INTO FASHION, SPORTS, ART, THE REST OF ENTERTAINMENT. 

PROMOTIONS, MARKETING  & THE WAYS TO BUY MUSIC ARE GOING DIGITAL JUST LIKE ME. THE COOKIE CUT, COPY PASTE MARKETING METHODS DO NOT WORK WITH EVERY ARTIST. EVERY MOVEMENT, ARTIST IS DIFFERENT. 

I HEARD SOMETHING ELSE THAT'S CRAZY TONIGHT TOO.   I WAS TOLD THAT NY CITY CLUBS COMING IN 2008
