Soulja Boy & 50 Cent XXL Cover Shoot!

If you didn't already know, 50 Cent & Soulja Boy are on the cover of XXL magazine. I'm glad to see they're doing this because I've heard Soulja say in a few prior interviews that 50 is one of his biggest inspirations. He's said besides 50's successful music career, he was equally impressed with his successful business ventures. You can tell how mush of an influence 50's career has been on Soulja Boy because you see him trying to do the same. Seeing them on the cover is almost like seeing big brother, little brother.
They craziest part is that when Soulja Boy started out over 3 years ago, EVERYBODY thought he was a one hit wonder for sure, myself included. Even Mr. Collipark (the guy that signed him)in an interview basically said he thought his lyrics and beats were trash. The two biggest things the helped Soulja Boy out was his strong internet presence, consistency, and STRONG belief in his own music. By sticking to this recipe, he's now doing ALL of what he set out to do and more.
Aight y'all...

One Man, One Mic Vol. 1

Download Mixtape | --- --- ---

What's up people! How y'all been? I'm feelin' good today cause my first mixtape just dropped late last night titled, 'One Man, One Mic Vol. 1'. I've already got great feedback and want to thank everybody that's checked it out so far. You can get a free download from DatPiff.com, just type my name in the search bar.
I kept it short and to the point. The album is basically an exhibition of my lyrical talent , songwriting & freestyle skill. I engineered the mixtape (mixed & mastered), and designed the cover art myself. Even though I am a skilled producer, I was writing music way before I ever had access to REAL beat making equipment.

50 TYSON'S MUSIC VIDEO

I still can't believe it. I never thought that viral freestyle posting would go so far. They got T-shirts done for him and the whole 9. Fans in the mall showin' love; the video, "I ain't gonna lie" actually got over 3.8 million views on World Star. Make sure you donate a dollar and buy one of the shirts from the video. It's for a good cause.

Forbes Report: Jay-Z

-----According to the latest Forbes report, Jay-Z made $63 million in a 12 m0nth period between now and this time last year. This is a result of profits made from such ventures as 40/40, The Nets, Fela (the theatrical play), Blueprint 3, etc.
The reason I point this out is to say he couldn't possibly make that kind of money in this day and age of ONLY doing mixtapes, albums, and shows. Most of that money was made through some sort of business venture. Even though he's doing it on a bigger scale, you have to pay attention to whats really going on. He's forming businesses to gain greater financial wealth.
-----Whether you're a musician or not, you have to understand that you too have the opportunity to do something similar. What I mean is that even if you work at McDonald's you can save your money (or get a loan), do your homework, find something you can tolerate (which has potential to be lucrative) , and start a business part time. If you did your research well and chose an industry that offers a quick return, you should be making money from both your job & your business.
-----This is the SMART way to increase your income. This is the way the RICH get rich, which is by starting businesses. Learn how to start, run, manage, and grow a business. You might not make $63 mill, but like Jay-Z you'll be making WAY more money than your job could ever offer. No need of getting a second or third job and another RUDE boss!!!

Cookin'

I'm sure you've heard about this new dance called "Cookin". From what I understand, it's from a rapper called Lil' B. You're not gonna to catch me doing that anytime soon, but it's a slick lil' move. He also just did a mixtape with Soulja Boy called 'Pretty Boy Millionaires'. To me, this was nothing that I expected. These guys were having a little bit too much fun when putting this project together. It's like they got REALLY high, put on some beats, and made the mixtape. It sounds like amateur stuff, but for some strange reason. I enjoyed it. I had a really good laugh through out most of it, no disrespect.
I'm not trying to bash the mixtape at all. It basically sounds like 2 guys doing whatever they want regardless what the world thinks. You can download it @ DATPIFF.COM.

Lebron, Lebron, Lebron

I know I'm not the only one who thought that the way Lebron left Cleveland hangin like that was a little awkward. I mean, a press conference? Why keep the people of Cleveland in the dark up to the last minute? He had them people thinking they really had a chance. All kinds of youtube videos and so forth begging him to stay, even celebrities. People started burning jerseys out there!!! I'm not saying he HAD to stay, but if there was to be a departure, do it in such a way that you're still welcome home.
I don't have a problem with him, but I can't say the same for the owner of the Cav's. We'll see who's first to get a ring. Aight , until next time.

Happy 4th of July

Whats up! How y'all been? Happy 4th!!! Check out the "Top 5 Mixtape" list on youtube. It's a pilot for a new Urban pop-culture show. Just look for DJ Exec Prolific in the search bar since I host this episode. Be Safe.

Allow Me To Reintroduce Myself...

What's up, world!?! For those of you just finding out about me, I started a blog last year soon after I started officially producing music. I didn't keep up the blog because things weren't panning out how I planned music-wise, so I had to refocus my efforts. I'm an up-and-coming recording artist, producer, and entrepreneur. My main musical goal is to run a successful record label, make my mark in the hip hop world, and help out artists that share my vision and drive. This is of course one of the many achievements I want to accomplish before it's all said and done.
While pursuing these dreams of mine, you'll get a chance to hear about all my wild adventures, struggles, moments of uncertainty, and successes I run into along the way. You'll get my point of view on different topics and circumstances; you'll also get a few laughs.
