A buddy of mine wants to start a record label called "Classic Universal" headlining classic rap acts. I'm with him for the most part, I even came up with the name for the label. The challenge, is twofold. Hailing at number one is financing. His vision is to get that from overseas. Hailing at number two is getting solid (let's put hit on hold for right now) records from rappers in their late 30's and 40's. I come from a school of thought where nothing is impossible. The problem with dreamers is that we're hardly practical.
Anybody for a new Whodini record?

So what do I do with the people that had "nuttin" for me when I been calling for two years, but now that I'm in position wanna bring me stuff?

Most of the time, veteran MC's like myself feel the "pull" of seniority. Its a strange-ish feeling, knowing your place as a King, and often, not being able to perform as one. This is the point (boy this one is getting shrink-ish!) where we need to take inventory. The life we all live today is a product of the choices and decisions we made yesterday. Better to admit it and move on, than to hold on to past success (and failure). People make mistakes, its just that some are worse than others. It may take a while, but if there's any chance for old school making a "comeback" so to speak, we need an attitude adjustment. (why'd I get so deep?)

Voiceover was the best I've done thus far. The big news is I got hired yesterday. I am the A&R rep. for Kedar Entertainment. God is so good. And this is a good place for me. Its like starting all over again.

So on my way to do a voiceover interview today, my agent called. I've been dealing with this voiceover agents for like 6 months, haven't landed anything yet but the way I'm feeling these days I may even end up in the blessed commercial!

Its hella cool when your Pastor shouts you out from the pulpit.

Was up at Bad Boy yesterday, interesting when I visit record companies. Good and bad I guess. On one level, I'm a big fan of progress. On the other hand, not always a fan of what people deem progressive. My meetings were good though, thank God. Glad he's lookin' out.

OK. Here it is, Dipset are MC's. My reasoning? One of the distinct qualities of an MC is that if you're copied, people recognize someone is biting your style. These guys have done what more people in rap should do. Homework necessary. Purple dew rag not included.

Been thinking about acting lately. Not so much because of other rappers, but because of acting itself. There is, however, something in my psyche that sees the phony in it, and that scares me. Entertaining other people is cool. Movies are cool (mostly) and so is TV sometimes. But I don't want to sell out for a role, and you never know with Hollywood, if I make it that far.

So I'm sitting with some pals of mine and we came up with a show (tv) called" The making of Stetsasonic international", a 7 country search for the next Hip-Hop band. Here we go.

The magic of technology! My friend brought me over this USB keyboard yesterday to use with Garageband. I can't even explain the heat, but you'll hear it on the radio. Its amazing how long it took me to get into composing music digitally. Kinda reminds me of how I had my MPC for two years before using the sequencer. Guess it took the folks at Apple to make me happy. Sorry, I usually say all the tech stuff in my other blog. Guess my worlds are coming together.

As far as the music industry is concerned, traditional methodology is all but gone. I absolutely love the fact that the model is changing damn near by the moment. Distribution heads the list. Promotion not far behind. It happens to be something I not only anticipated, but welcome. Its not the 2006 of flying cars we imagined as children, but black wax has surely taken a bow to blackberry.

2nd week of the new year, feeling kinda good about possibilities. Chatted it up with Kid Rock yesterday, cool ass dude. Said he's rehearsing for an up and coming tour.Can't wait for the NY show, that'll be a real treat.

So its 2006 and I plan to be more frequent with this blog, the operative word being "plan". Just to pick up where I left off last time, the show with Kane was brilliant. He's a true pro. I'm rapping a bit more these days, and I'm still dreaming HARD about a new Stet record. By the way, this message is being typed from my Blackberry for the 1st time.

okay. so i'm doing this show with kane on july 13th, he wants to do a brooklyn section with me, kangol from utfo and milk. i'm gonna drop my brooklyn verse from go stetsa. rad.

still ain't hit kane back. i'm gonna do that right now.

big daddy kane called me. i gotta hit him back.

i have decided that stetsasonic made the very best first single of anybody in rap. there are no records that match the power and commitment of Just Say Stet b/w rock De La Stet. none.
