Point of Review: Drake

November 16, 2011 at 1:20 PM

Take Care
12:00PM ET November 15th, 2011

Rating:

Drake's debut album, Thank Me Later was a good record that was stifled by familiar traps of 2000s hip hop; too many guest stars, too many attempts to be all things to all fans. It strained the rapper's chances of dropping a debut that exemplified his unique vision. That's not the problem on his sophomore effort Take Care.

This time around, Drizzy Drake is allowed to be himself. That's not really a revelation, for fans that followed the rapper's mixtapes, this sounds more like the Drake of 2009, the Drake many fans expected to hear on his debut. This is the Toronto rapper in all of his mopey, emoting, half rapped/half sung glory. But that doesn't mean the album hits every mark it attempts; but it does mean that Drake has grown artistically and seems more comfortable being himself.

The opener, "Over My Dead Body" finds Drake once again lamenting the tropes of being young and famous. He's not saying anything particularly new here, but his pensiveness is less treacly that it seems later on in the album. Relationships are (as expected) front-and-center on the rapper's mind; "Shot For Me" is a sorrowful tune about a relationship that failed due to Drake's burgeoning career and features production that wouldn't have sounded out of place on a Spandau Ballet song from 1983.

That's not a diss, either.

"Headlines" is the first shot of life on the album, though its only aggressive by comparison to the solemnity that opens the album. "They say they miss the old Drake--girl don't tempt me" Drake raps as he picks apart his imitators and fans' expectations over Boi 1Da's rat-a-tat drumbeat and pulsing synth strings. The title track, which features Rihanna, has a great drum track that evokes a tribal feel (reminiscent of Kanye West's 2008 single "Love Lockdown") and has a great mix of heartfelt emotion and club pulse. The T-Minus-produced "We'll Be Fine" is the most trunk-rattling tune on the album, with Drake's singsongy delivery gliding over slow bass grooves for a feel reminiscent of 2009's "Houstatlantavegas."

The overly 'sleepy' feel of the album can make for great background music or an extremely boring listen--depending on your taste. The Weeknd pops up on "Crew Love," and the song sounds like virtually every other track Drake's sing-songy buddy has released up to this point. And while beatsmith Noah "40" Shebib's synth-heavy productions are almost an inseparable part of Drake's sound at this point and those moody soundscapes fit Drake's lyrics and vocal delivery; it can be a bit monotonous and numbing on an album that's this long.

Andre 3000's guest verse on "The Real Her" was the album's most talked-about moment leading up to its release--and for good reason. We're at a point where seemingly every 3000 guest appearance only adds to the reclusive rapper's legend, and he doesn't disappoint. The only problem with having Three Stacks and Lil Wayne on a Drake track together is that it makes Drake's lyrical shortcomings a little more obvious. The other celebrated guest appearance is Stevie Wonder, who adds some inconsequential harmonica to "Doing It Wrong." And "HYFR" is the one moment on the album where Drake seems to genuinely (gasp!) enjoy himself, with a hook that's sure to be repeated ad nauseum by clubgoers and frat boys for the rest of the year.

Overall, Take Care is a success and a better representation of Drake than his previous album. For the critics who dismiss his focus as too narcissistic and too full of po-faced emoting; well--this album will pretty much validate everything you hate about Drake. But for fans, this stands as an exciting next step for one of this generation's brightest stars. And if it bolsters his confidence as an artist, that can only mean more great things to come.

Amber Rose is 'sure' she and Wiz Khalifa are getting married. But they're not currently engaged. Confused? Well, it sounds like she is, too. Amber keeps raving about her rapper beau, and she's somehow downplaying marriage talk while still endorsing it.

"Yeah, totally. We're totally going to get married. But no, we're not engaged," Rose promised in an interview. "He's overseas right now on his European tour and I'm out here working in the studio. We definitely don't want to get married and be away from each other. We want to establish each other to the point, where we can get married and take a couple of months off to really just enjoy our time together and have some babies."

Babies? You guys are just moving way too fast.

Kandi Burruss Defends "Housewives"

November 9, 2011 at 8:44 PM

''Yes, It Does Play Into the Stereotype...''
4:30PM ET November 9th, 2011
Contributor : Erica Moore
A Rocky Williform Company

Singer/songwriter Kandi Burruss is defending reality TV and her show, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." The show is popular but controversial and a lot of people feel it perpetuates negative stereotypes of Black women. Kandi said those people need to check themselves.

"Before I even joined the show everybody was talking about how it brought down the image of black people and black women," Burruss says. "But I always tell people when you come on a reality show you're not trying to represent for a whole race, you're just doing you. You hope people think you're interesting and people like it. The one thing people don't give as far as our series, The Real housewives of Atlanta; we are a majority black cast on a network that doesn't have that many shows featuring African Americans. So for us to be the number one show on that network…..why people don't give us any props for that, I don't even understand."

"Yes, it does play into the stereotype of what people say black women are with the neck popping, finger rolling or whatever but I don't feel like it's any different than the New Jersey Housewives where it's mostly Italian Americans on there," Kandi pointed out. "What they do on that show? It's a lot of hot headed Italians on that show but I don't see their communities saying " Oh, they're not representing us Italian Americans correctly or they're not representing white women correctly."

"I feel like we as black people can be very critical of our own race and I don't even think it should be a thing of 'How are they representing us?'," she continued. "Guess what? If you had a camera on you for six months and they taped as much as they wanted to tape and edited it down, I'm sure they're going to have some moments where you're showing out too.:

Will Ferrell Praises "N***as In Paris"

Comedic actor Will Ferrell share his reaction to being sampled by Jay-Z and Kanye West on their track "N***as In Paris" on the Watch the Throne album. Ferrell sent an email saying he loved the song and wants to be sampled more in hip hop.

"Kanye reached out to me and I said, 'Of course,' " Ferrell wrote in an e-mail. "I was completely flattered when they asked if they could sample me into the song ... and when I heard it for the first time, I just started to laugh because it felt so surreal. But I really did like the song."

"We were trying to film a piece that they would use on the video boards of their concert, but haven't gotten it together," he wrote. "I think [something from] Step Brothers would be good [to use in a song]," he wrote. "Or the Woody Allen movie I did, Melinda and Melinda."

Somebody should sample A Night At the Roxbury.

Terrence J Likes Cougars?

In a recent interview, "106 & Park" host Terrence J revealed that he is a fan of cougars. The personality/host/actor says that older women have a certain appeal and he enjoys the fact that they seem to be more comfortable with themselves.

"I dig mature women," Terrence says. "I dig a woman that knows what she wants, that's comfortable in her skin and confident with her swag. Older women have been able to fulfill that."

He revealed, however, that he's currently dating a 'younger' woman.

"I'm dating a girl that's younger. She's not much younger but she's 28 and I'm 29 so she's younger than me," he shared. "She's an amazing person. I just think timing is everything. It can be the perfect person, but if it's not the perfect time then it's not going to work."

Drake & Rick Ross On Joint Project?

While Drake recently shot down any chance of he and his Young Money general Lil Wayne recording any Watch the Throne-ish album together, Drizzy has revealed that he and an other rap superstar may be collaborating soon on a project.

"I have been working on a mixtape with Ross," Drake said. "A mixtape called 'Y.O.L.O.' [That means] 'You Only Live Once'. I've been working on that for the last couple of weeks. We haven't really connected because he's been going through this thing with his health. I've been stashing my little beats and verses."

Ross hasn't spoken about the release as of yet.

50 Cent On Rick Ross Feud:

50 Cent is now downplaying his infamous feud with rapper Rick Ross. 50 says that the whole thing was just a case of Ross looking to make a name for himself via 50, and that it's no different than any other hip hop battle.

But 50 says he never took the insults they traded back-and-forth too personally.

"He says it started because I looked at him the wrong way," Fif recalled of an incident on the red carpet for the 2009 BET Awards. "That just means he wanted to compete, he wanted to move up, he wanted to create an awareness for himself, and he did it."

"This is why they changed the terminology from 'battling' to 'beefing,'" he added. "It was always that battling was a part of the culture; they didn't do that until Tupac and Biggie Smalls' situation," he said. "That's when it became taboo to actually mention an artist's name."

With Wiz Khalifa adding rapper/model LoLa Monroe, his girlfriend/video vixen Amber Rose gave her two cents about the signing the sexy femcee. Rose made sure to let everyone know what the pecking order is in the House De Khalifa.

"I am the queen. She is the first lady. Lola is the sh*t," she said. "You guys really got to get into her. She's super talented, she's my sister, she's super duper dope and she is the first lady of Taylor Gang...period. She's going to come in, she's killin' the game and she's working really hard. Me and Lola both have very, very similar lives. We were both strippers at 15-years-old. We both been through a really hard struggle. We've both been scrutinized for a lot of different things."

Drake Squashes Album With Wayne?

''Right Now Is Not the Time''

As soon as Jay-Z and Kanye dropped Watch the Throne, it seemed like every notable (and many not-so-notable) rapper was announcing a collaborative project either in the works or that they had been 'thinking about' for years and just never got around to actually making.

Well, you can strike one superstar collabo of your list.

Drake says he and Lil Wayne won't be joining the joint album club any time soon.

"Me and Wayne scrapped the idea of a collaboration album," he says. "We just agreed that it would be looked upon as…It would be sort of this competition [with Watch The Throne]. I feel like it would get caught in this whirlwind of hype. [Wayne] agreed. We just said, 'If we do it, we'll do it down the line. But right now is not the time.'"

Consequence may have made his peace with Kanye West, but that's about the only person the former G.O.O.D. Music rapper isn't beefing with right now. Consequence still has bad blood with Pusha T of G.O.O.D. Music and it doesn't appear he and Q-Tip will be burying any hatchets soon, either.

"I ain't never do nothing with nobody," he said. "Only person I squashed things with was Kanye West."

Despite the fact that Cons had claimed he wanted to stay 'positive' and avoid talking about his ongoing feud with his cousin Q-Tip, he finally made it clear that he still had issues with the A Tribe Called Quest frontman.

"Q-Tip knows what time is it with me," Cons said. "He knows I been thorough from the day he brought me around his situation. I been thorough and ain't nothing change about me. And I'm a positive energy person. That's why Q-Tip has three records on Watch the Throne. And you can tweet that. Tweet that and say I said it."

Superstar Alicia Keys is denying rumors that she is expecting her second child. The singer/songwriter spoke to the New York Post at the Keep A Child Alive 8th Annual Black Ball event in New York City and said she is most definitely holding off on another kid.

"Not in the next year," she said on the red carpet. "I definitely see myself having another child, but not in the next year. I'm going to have to go on tour first."

A-Keys also talked about her young son, Egypt. "His birthday came [last month] and there are like a hundred, billion, trillion thousand gifts," she says. "That can't happen for Christmas. I need to figure this out now because he's not going to be this terror 5-year-old child [shouting], 'Give me!'"

Drake Hates Social Media?

''I'm Really Scared For My Generation...''
6:00AM ET November 8th, 2011
Contributor : Rayna Dean

Rap superstar Drake isn't a fan of social media. The Young Money rapper says that services like Tumblr and Twitter are affecting this generation in a negative way and encouraging people to live false lives.

"I'm really scared for my generation, you know," Drake told the Source. "The thing that scares me the most is Tumblr. I hate what Tumblr has become. Because it like, it reminds me of those cliquey girls in high school that used to make fun of everyone else and define what was cool, but in five years, when you all graduate, that sh*t doesn't matter. No one gives a f**k about that sh*t. Instead of kids going out and making their own moments, they're just taking these images and living vicariously through other people's moments. It just kills me. Then you'll meet them and they're just the biggest turkey in the world. They don't actually embody any of those things. They just emulate. It's scary man, simulation life that we're living. It scares me."

"I'll tell you, my biggest thing was, I remember, it was on Twitter. I remember the day my mom was getting surgery and someone came on Twitter and they were like, 'Yo, Drake, I hope your mom dies.' You don't really mean that," he added. "Like, you know you're going to see something bad. Out of 1000 compliments, it's so crazy. It's basically, like, when you used to sit there as a kid, and want to know what everyone is thinking. That's your superpower. [Twitter is] knowing what everyone is thinking."

Rihanna's Cover Is 'Unpretty?'

Pop superstar Rihanna says she chose her cover for her upcoming album Talk That Talk because she thought it was edgier than the imagery she's typically known for on her album covers.

The singer even went so far as to call the cover 'unpretty.'

"This, to me, is the most unpretty cover I've ever done and that's why I like it. It's not about what I look like- how smooth and prefect it is, it's about what my eyes say," Rihanna says. "My eyes say everything…tongue out. I don't even give a f*ck that this is not cute because I have something to say. I gotta 'Talk That Talk.'"

Rih-Rih's 2009 album Rated R featured a dark, goth cover--hard to see how this is less 'pretty' than that one.

Apparently, indie rap isn't where the groupies are. At least, not according to rapper Big Pooh. The former Little Brother rhymer says rhyming for the backpacker set doesn't let to automatic groupie love backstage.

"I ain't one of them artists where chicks see me and wanna throw the panties at me type rappers, man [laughs]," Pooh says. "Women tend to think I have alot of groupies, and of course, there are women who are drawn to this lifestyle, but you can be a mechanic and have groupies. But at this level that I'm at, you still have to put in work in order to get a groupie or get a female. It's not an automatic, 'When I see you, we f*ckin'' situation. That's rare."

"What alotta people don't realize is that our shows used to bring alot of couples out," he continued. "There were women that liked the group, but it ain't like a Rick Ross concert where women are just throwing the p*ssy out. You still had to exhibit a little talk game."

Amber Rose Serious About Music & Film?

Amber Rose is dead serious about her movie and music 'careers.' The model/vixen/reality star made it clear that she's pursuing music with her entire mind and spirit--and its not just a vanity project. While her upcoming album has no title or release date, Rose does say that this is her new passion.

"Oh yeah man, I'm in the studio every single night," Rose told SOHH. "Like, I do not sleep. [laughs] I'm really, really, grinding. I'm really in the studio. The music that I make is fun, it's dance music, it's club, just super fun music that gets you in a great mood and makes you happy. So I'm all about music and this is my time to really, really come out and hopefully make people happy when they listen to it."

And her film career? She's working hard on that, too.

"It's been a really amazing year. I have two movies coming out, one is Just Add Water, which is a sci-fi thriller, where I play a supervisor to all the androids on a spaceship," she shared to BET. "Then in Gang of Roses 2, I play a bounty hunter who is also a butch lesbian, which was super cool, because even though I dress androgynous sometimes, I'm really feminine. So I had to hang out with Wiz and the guys, and study their mannerisms. I even had a speech coach to help make my voice deep."

Rumors are swirling that pop rap group the Black Eyed Peas and their singer Fergie are parting ways. Reportedly, Fergie-Ferg wants to leave music behind and raise a family with her husband, actor Josh Duhamel. She will allegedly be announcing her departure soon.

Singer Ashanti is rumored to be the frontrunner to replace Fergie in the group--though no official statement has been released by either party.

Ashanti hasn't really been a hot property in music for a while now, but there's no telling what joining could mean for her career. Or theirs.

Fergie is expected to perform her final show with the Peas on November 23rd.

Even though the gender of superstar couple Jay-Z and Beyonce's already-famous baby was announced last week, there was no 'official' confirmation. Now, Bey's BFF Kelly Rowland has given the universe all of the proof it needs that Beyonce is indeed having a little diva.

"I'm so happy for my sister and her husband. They're so happy in this moment right now, as they should be. They've made a little bundle of love, I'm so excited for them," Rowland told Glamour. "I have no idea what I'm going to buy Beyonce at the baby shower because Jay is going to buy that little girl every single thing possible. She won't be spoiled but she will be very well looked-after."

"I'll be on hand for babysitting duties and I'm actually very good with messy diapers!" Kelly added.

DJ Whoo Kid's radio 'joke' got a lot of attention over the weekend. The DJ appeared on Tim Westwood's show in the UK and commented that Young Money superstar Drake had been knocked out by R&B singer Chris Brown over Brown's ex-girlfriend Rihanna.

"Thank God there's Drake out there. He had atleast 8 records on the radio that's killing it, not to mention features, his own singles and um, him and Rihanna supposedly fooled around," Whoo Kid told Westwood. When Westwood pressed him for more info, Whoo Kid said, "I think he got elbowed by Chris Brown, too, but that never came out."

"In the chin, in the corner left part," Whoo Kid continued. "'Man Down.' Simple as that. I mean, c'mon, Tim. I'm trying to be simple here."

After the Web exploded with the news, DJ Whoo Kid tweeted that he was goofing. "Me and @timwestwood were joking on radio — #youCantbeSERIOUS HAHA @chrisbrown did not knock out DRAKE!!!"

Pitbull Countersues Lindsey Lohan

November 10, 2011 at 9:01 AM

Rapper Taking Actress To Court

Rapper Pitbull has filed a countersuit against actress Lindsey Lohan. The troubled actress sued the rapper and singer/songwriter Ne-Yo over their hit "Give Me Everything" which referenced her in the lyrics. For his part, Pitbull has denied any malicious intent in the lyric.

In the song, Pitbull raps "I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan."

He has filed a suit himself that claims Lohan's numerous prison sentences and other run-ins with the law give the line validity. He also alleges that her suit in New York is invalid as she's a resident of California.

Nas & Amy Winehouse Tracks May Surface

Producer Salaam Remi has confirmed that there are numerous Amy Winehouse and Nas collaborations that may yet see the light of day. Winehouse passed away this summer at the age of 27, but she and the rapper Nas had a strong bond.

"Amy sang on records that we never put out with Nas," Remi said in an interview. "As far as them now getting on the same record, that was a conversation in play for the last couple of years but that just didn't happen yet, and when I listened to that song, I was like, you know what? This makes sense, to actually make that happen as far as things that she wants to do that didn't happen yet."

"As far as myself, I feel like I'm repping her musically because that's what I know of her more than anyone else," he added. "And then as far as where [Nas is] at, he put that energy back into [the song], because she repped for him. I mean, who writes songs for people, unless you really respect them?"

Rapper Ghostface Killah is extending his Canadian tour. The acclaimed Wu-Tang lyricist will be spending more time than initially expected in the Great White North. He initially announced the tour back in August, but demand has led to some changes being made to the schedule.

Ghost has also added special guests Killah Priest and Sheek Louch to selected dates.

Ghostface Killah's trek begins at Montreal's Club Soda on November 27th, with stops to be made in Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Vancouver. The tour winds down in Whistler, British Columbia on December 13.

Jay-Z On Hip Hop Perceptions:

''They Try To Keep This Thing Segmented''

Jay-Z reflected on the Glastonbury Festival in 2008 and the controversy from the show and also acknowledged the various 'checkpoints' that he believes hip hop has had to continuously knock down over the years.

"It was just another one of those checkpoints. It felt like the DMX 'Hard Knock Life' conversation all over again, to have that conversation of, 'No, rappers, we can tour together. We don't have to have an outside R&B act or anything like that.' Done," he said. "People listen to music differently now. That was the old guard holding onto something they thought was dear. 'We can't let any other type of music infiltrate this rock festival.' But people don't listen to music like that no more. Globally, anywhere. Everyone's iPod is a list of all eclectic things. You have some rock, some blues, some jazz - all types of things, whatever you like. They try to keep this thing segmented."

"It's like a misconception of anything," he said. "I can have a misconception of anything I hear one or two words from. If you hear buzz words coming from Hip Hop or anything like that, you say that's what it's all about. It's very difficult to fairly analyze something in a 30-second blip. If I analyze even a Maya Angelou in a 30-second blip, I can misjudge who she is as a person and she happens to be the most incredible poet of our time."

Superproducer Pete Rock shared his shock and bereavement over the unexpected death of his cousin, rap star Heavy D. Pete Rock spoke to Peter Rosenberg and Cipha Sounds on Hot 97 about the passing of the beloved Overweight Lover.

"A couple of SKYY vodkas last night, just trying to fathom the thought of all of this. It's very hurtful. This man, he gave me everything, you know?" he said. "It's unbelievable. I didn't expect this to happen so fast. I was just with him, two weeks ago at his house. I spent the night. He didn't even want me to leave, he didn't want me to go. I laughed at him, it was crazy."

"We did something. I finished something with him like two weeks ago, finished," Rock revealed. "When people call you that don't call you and then your phone is just blowing up with those kind of calls, my stomach got kind of weak. DJ Scratch called me first because that's my homie, and he let me know," he continued. "I felt like he was my guider, the person who put me in place. He was my number one believer."

Sony Eyeing Cash Money Deal

Doug Morris Looking To Bid For Label Distribution

Contributor : Martin James
A Rocky Williform Company

Doug Morris, Chief Executive of Music Entertainment for Sony has revealed that the company is looking to possibly acquire one of hip hop's biggest labels in a distribution deal. Morris is planning on bidding on the contracts for several labels--most notably, Cash Money Records. Once its distribution contract with Universal expires, Sony could make a move.

"My plan here is very simple," Doug Morris told the New York Times. "To help create the pre-eminent record company in the world."

There will likely be a bidding war between Sony and Universal with Cash Money heads Bryan "Baby" and Ronald "Slim" Williams deciding where the label winds up.

"In each company that I've gone to run, that's always been the same question," Mr. Morris told the New York Times. "And each company has gone to be the No. 1 company and the most innovative company. And I think the reason I'm never getting the credit for this is because I'm the oldest guy."

"Our core focus still needs to be developing hits," he said. "That's the only constant amidst all the change. So if you don't get that right, it doesn't matter how revolutionary the distribution model is or how many revenue streams you have. You still have to have the hits."

Rapper Heavy D, one of the 90s most beloved hip hop stars, has reportedly passed away. The rapper/actor/producer, born Dwight Myers, was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital around noon today and was pronounced dead at 1 pm. He was only 44 years old.

According to TMZ, a 911 call was placed from the rapper's Beverly Hills home around 11:25 this morning to report an unconscious male on the walkway.

Heavy just performed at the BET Hip Hop Awards last month in what was one of the show's most talked-about moments.

UPDATE:According to reports, Heavy D had just returned from shopping and began having trouble breathing as he was walking up a flight of stairs. Adam Mills, a designer who was in the building and knew Heavy D, found him and held the rapper in his lap as others called 911. Heavy D reportedly told Mills, "I can't breathe, I can't breathe."

Heavy D had a pulse as he was being rushed to the hospital and witnesses are saying it appeared he had a heart attack, though no confirmation has been given.

No Limit Signs Romanian Pop Star

No Limit Forever Records has made headlines by signing Romanian pop star Catalina Toma to their label. The label that was founded by New Orleans rap mogul Master P. and is now being run by his son Romeo has been primarily associated with southern rap acts, so the signing comes as something of a surprise.

Catalina Toma has released two albums in Romania and won "Best Female Voice" and "Video Of The Year" awards in her home country for her hit "Why Me Lord?"

"Signing Catalina was a no-brainer. She's one of the most talented Pop and R&B vocalists in the world," Master P told AllHipHop. "Catalina is a diamond in the rough. And she's the missing piece to the puzzle for No Limit Forever Records taking over the crossover markets," Romeo added.

Young Money superstar Drake revealed in an interview with the L.A. Times that he wasn't exactly pleased with his debut album Thank Me Later. Critical reaction to the album was mixed, and Drake himself doesn't feel that the project hit its mark.

"To be 100% honest … I wasn't necessarily happy with Thank Me Later," he says. "People loved it [but] I just knew what I was capable of with a little more time. I'm very confident in Take Care. I definitely made the exact album that I wanted. Will it appear that way to the world? I'm not sure, because its definitely different. It's not 15 'I'm On Ones.' It's not 'She Will.' I'm very happy with [Take Care]. More so than I've ever been with a project."

"This album has consistency. You will not hear a piece of music that does not belong," he said. "The words were really important to me. When you get a young artist and they are on the rise, often the music becomes not what they have going on in their lives or surrounding things, but it starts to lose substance. You can always be like, 'Man I'm the …' but I think you have to thread some life in there so there's something that will last."

Rapper Lil Scrappy revealed some of the inspiration and motivation behind his upcoming release, The Grustle. The Atlanta rapper says he's moved beyond his crunk past and believes this album is his most honest musical representation yet.

"The concept is just goin' hard," Scrappy asserts. "Speaking my mind and not really givin' a f--- 'cause normally I be like, 'I ain't gon' talk about that, I ain't gon' say his name.' But on this one I just said what the f--- I wanna say...Everybody know me just for crunk -- I'm on everything now. People want me to be in that same place but I'm not in that same place anymore. I'm 27 years-old, I will not be jumpin' on that crunk music. I'm into f-----' with the women, I'm in to getting' money."

This will be Scrappy's first independent release. The rapper announced his departure from Ludacris' DTP imprint several weeks ago.

2011-06-28T01:27:00.000-05:00

www.arkansasonlyent.com

Q. Why did you come up with this idea?
A. For years I've grown tired of local artists doing one of two things in Arkansas - (1) Beefing with one another for 10 feet of street credit and (2) Not being recognized or supported by the local stations or community.

Q. What will this hub do that these artists haven't tried already?
A. I think it levels the playing field. All genres will be represented, listed and marketed. The site as a whole will be pushed to every region imaginable. Artists with digital distribution and other sales links will have a better shot at selling because the focus will be on the untapped Arkansas market. Arkansas listeners will be able to come to one site and check out the products of all of its artists.

Q. Is it true that you've already been approached by artists outside of Arkansas?
A. Yes, a lot of people outside this state think this is a great idea! This hub, once it becomes popular enough, will be the place where major and independent labels can come to seek talent. Artists within the state can find producers and other artists to collaborate with more easily. Venues can search for local acts. Arkansas artists will be more recognized by the public in the state because of the marketing that will be put behind this project.

Q. Do you think the artists in Arkansas will get behind this project?
A. Initially, no. That's the way people in this area are. Years ago I earned a spot on an overseas tour with the release of my independent album. I helped a fellow artist, Mo' B, gain popularity online. That has allowed him to be picked up by major radio stations and included in regular rotations with at least 26 DJs. I've written DIY books for indie artists, consulted indie label owners on the business of starting a label and so much more.

Q. Is it a trust issue?
A. Yes, the mentality of most artists in this state is pretty universal. So many want to produce, have their own label, run the business and just do it all. People here are so greedy and selfish that they end up holding themselves back from one year to the next. Lack of education is key. Not many know much about the business side of things. They know very little about marketing. They spend huge amounts of money every year trying to do it themselves instead of putting that job in the hands of someone who is an expert.

Q. Are you an expert?
A. Well, I've been called a marketing genius and listed as Who's Who Amongst US Businessmen two years in a row. I've learned a lot over the last seven years. In 2004 I was energetic and hungry, but the education of this business wasn't there. Now I have a better feel for what I'm doing.

Q. Why is there a fee?
A. The fee is in place for a couple of reasons - (1) It will weed out those looking for a free ride and (2) It will pay for the marketing. This is not something I would ask anyone to do for free. I'm always honest with people when it comes to money and music. The truth of the matter is that if an artist is not willing to spend his own money to further his career,a major label won't either? You can't win money from a scratch off card unless you buy one, and the same holds true for this project. You can't be included in this movement unless you buy in. Having 5,000, 10,000, 100,000 fans or friends on Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, or any other social network doesn't mean anything if those people aren't buying your music and other products. Anyone can buy those numbers, but strategic marketing yields profits. Artists would sign up for $25 and keep their music and videos listed for $10 per month. We're talking $135 for the first year and $120 each year after that. That's a small investment for a lot of exposure.

Q. If you were asked to sit down at a conference and explain this idea to artists, would you do it?
A. Yes, I would love to look each person in the eye and share with them my vision. I am confident that it will be the needed spark that jump starts the music scene in this state.
