The Official Trailer for the New Batman: The Dark Knight Rises
If you know me at all, you'll know I am a superhero movie nerd, so of course, I have to bring you the teaser trailer for the 3rd of Christopher Nolan's New Batman saga entitled (with little imagination, shitty title) The Dark Knight Rises. I just pray these guys don't fuck this fantastic franchise up and jump the shark tank. Take a sneak peek:
We shall see what comes of this. The Knight is Darkest before the day. Or somethin like dat....

Gucci Mane & Waka Flocka Flame- Ferrari Boyz Cover| My 2 cents
So... What the hell happened to OJ Da Juiceman? Don't really matter, none of these cats got bars for real. Tight ass beats all day though.
Miguel and Lloyd Beefing Over Hairstyles
Yeah moe. You read this correctly. Two of the softest R&B singers of this day are beefing over hairstyles while niggas around the world are dying over real beef and conflict. If this doesn't wanna make you scalp the nearest metrosexual singer, I don't know what the fuck will. Listen to this bullshit:
Wanna make it in the biz? Controversy and beef will always sell your records.

WHOOZNXT? Jim Crow?
Recently while I was on facebook looking at half naked bathroom shots of some slut I knew from high school, something caught my eye on the right side of the screen... An ad for a site called WHOOZNXT?
The premise of the site in their wording is this:
Led by a former senior MTV executive who was responsible for the launch of Guitar Hero and RockBand:
The boss used to work for MTV back when MTV was a strictly rock & pepsi station. He loves air-guitaring so much that he (along with every other "dude" in the room) came up with the idea for Guitar Hero.
NXTM digitally represents artists such as Taylor Swift and Justin Timberlake
We like hip white people with influence. Just like the old MTV.
NXTM allows emerging bands to apply the same tools and top-tier exposure opportunities. With major media partnerships in television, radio, live venues, digital platforms, and more - WHOOZNXT is the only platform that rewards the online activity of artists with real-world exposure.
If you fit the criteria for what we want, we'll throw you a bone from time to time. You gotta promote for us though.. Promote heavily too. No slacking!
The kicker is that on my artist dashboard all the way at the bottom on the right it tells you, this will be a paid service but for now it's free "so promote." It was looking toxic enough but when I filled out the sheet for my info, a white hood came out of my printer.
There is nothing more insulting than a site referring all musical acts as "bands," unless of course you refer to all black music as "urban" and offer noting of value to an emerging hip hop or R&B act. I have from the added sum, 4,206 fans through all social networks but it means shit when the opportunity is getting on the John Lennon bus or performing at a Toby Keith restaurant (unless they plan on giving me complimentary chicken and watermelon) and that's the "gold" gig pack. The "silver"" range for anyone who isn't already at least a known artist to the masses is promoting for a Facebook campaign and Jango radio airplay.... Open up your wallet and pull out a $100 bill and you can get the same effect...
I sent a nice nasty letter and I await the response but until then I give WHOOZNXT a thumbs down courtesy of "urban" music.

The new music industry has a language that I've become pretty fluent in so here is a little translation:

The Return of the Rapper
So... after what? 3 and a half months? I'm back to take you guys with me on this journey I'm on as an independent MC in 2011 (with no money) and let you experience through your eyes what it takes to be Bee Lee the MC. The focus of this blog remains as an intimate log of my personal experiences, views, struggles and successes and also a variety of tips & advice, spotlight on musicians I know and admire, middlefingerdum of those I don't like or respect and basically, me being me when the camera and mic is off. Again, please follow me on Twitter... I don't know why but they seriously count followers as fans these days... Investors will put thousands into a product in good faith all because 12,000 muh-fuckas hit the follow button to see a nigga tweet about bullshit all day... That's how it is now though, so fuck it. Anyways I appreciate the love all 5 of you show to my blog so thank you.
