Sports, Michael Vick and more!!!!!

What’s going on everybody, once again its Vincent Tucker here! I’m reporting for the 2nd edition of Vincent’s Corner – The Blog”. Thanks for all of the feedback on last weeks blog. All of it was positive.....to my surprise. I thought I may have said something wrong but I guess everyone pretty much agreed with everything I had to say.

If you’re new, please beware that you’re reading the weekly story of “a budding entertainment executive.” (Just like the V.Diddy comment, I didn’t make it up but I’m running with it.) This is my opportunity to let people in on my world as I try to take my company (CWC Entertainment Group, LLC.) and the promoter faction (Metro Muzik: The Union) to the next level in mainstream entertainment. Not only will I talk about things related to the music & entertainment industry but I’ll also talk about other issues & news affecting the globe including sports, movies, etc.

I want to start this week’s edition by stating a life lesson that I learned this week: If you don’t agree to disagree, then your argument is ignorant. Therefore you should not argue with idiots because nothing gets achieved.

Okay, now that I got that out of my system, I have to go to sports real quick. Let it be known that I am a huge fan of the NFL, NBA and Professional Wrestling/WWE. I watch Hockey and Baseball from time to time but not enough to consider myself a subject expert. Anyway, I want to say I am thrilled that NFL Training Camps has started back up. My favorite NFC teams are The Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers. My favorite AFC teams are The New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tennessee Titans.

I’m a huge Terrell Owens fan and I’ll defend him to the end. He’s not as bad as he’s advertised. Unfortunately, this is America and we don’t give people chances here! Right now, I’ll go on record and say the Dallas Cowboys will go 11-5 this year and win the NFC East. I’ll go more in details about the Cowboys and this season in the up coming weeks.

Is Michael Vick Guilty? I don’t know. If you look at the protestors outside the courthouse and the Falcons Training camp and you would think he was. Everybody is trying to give Vick the chair and his trial hasn’t even started yet! Personally, I think PETA is focused on making an example out of Vick. I just don’t think that Vick is the Ring Leader. I mean sure he owns the house but because of his commitments to the Falcons, isn’t he in Atlanta 6,7,8 months of the year? I would imagine that it’s kind of hard to run a Dog Fighting League in Virginia from Atlanta and still focus on playing football in the NFL.

Similar to 2Pac’s trial in 1994, I think Vick is more in trouble for being “in concert with some guys.”

Does Vick own the house? Yes

Does he/has he lived there? I’m 99.9% sure he hasn’t.

Does he run the Dog Fighting League at his house? I don’t think he does.

Did he know this was taking place at the house? ………………

I think this is where Vick gets in trouble. While I don’t think he was in charge of the Dog Fighting, I do believe that he knew about it and possibly gambled on it as well. If anything, the guys in the house ran the league. Therefore......I think Vick should only be in trouble for being “in concert with some guys.”

As I learned with the Chris Benoit Double Murder-Suicide a few weeks back, you don’t know what your favorite athlete, actor, model, teacher does once their in private. I’m not even a fan of Michael Vick so I’m surprised that I’m even attempting to defend him. But I believe in innocent before proven guilty. I think we’ve all had a situation where we got blamed for something only for it to come out it wasn’t your fault. This should be the time everyone remembers that moment and remember that Michael Vick’s trial isn’t until November 26th. Don’t Pass Judgment Until The Judge Does.

I can’t wait to hear the feedback on this one. I didn’t mean to have Michael Vick dominate my blog but now I think I know how Roger Goodell and the NFL feels. Next week I promise to take it back to business and let everyone know about the latest with me, CWC Entertainment Group, LLC and Metro Muzik: The Union.
I’ll see y’all next week.

"V-Diddy", 360 D Radio, The Source Magazine™ and more!

What’s going on everybody? Its Vincent Tucker here. As some would call me, “Young V.Diddy Before his prime!” I just want to first say that I’m flattered by the V.Diddy name-calling sent my way over the last 11 months. It was slow as first but it seems to have picked up a lot of stem since early April. Not really sure about the increased pace in being referred to that but I’m not complaining. I take it that people are catching on and really appreciate what I’m trying to do for North Texas thru my company, CWC Entertainment Group, LLC or the burgeoning Hip-Hop Promoter Faction, Metro Muzik: The Union.

It's about 2:30 AM. The past 7 days has been interesting and I'd thought I'd share some light on it. Last Saturday, I was invited to take part in the taping of 360 D Radio, which is an online talk radio show that talks about local and national hip-hop news as well as playing local music as well. I started listening to the show a few months back and for the most part, I became hooked to listening to the show, Monday thru Friday after my lunch break (around 1pm if you care.) So naturally it felt kind of surreal to be asked to participate in a show that I listen to on the regular.

The show is helmed by Jam Renaissance, who is actually a high school teacher in the day time. The show is normally taped on Saturdays and chopped up into different segments to last the week. He says just does it for fun but I think he plans on making it out to be something big and I think he should. The show grows day to day and its need here in Dallas. (By the way if I haven’t mentioned it already, you can listen/subscribe to the show for FREE at www.360DRadio.com. Okay Jam, there goes your free plug, where’s the check? Just Kidding…..I think.) Anyway be sure to check it out as I was featured on the show this past week and this coming week as well. (Yeah, two whole weeks of V.Diddy!)

On Tuesday, we let everyone know that we were promoting a concert for Houston Legend Chalie Boy & Da Ryno at Club Nairobi’s in Dallas on July 28th. These two are part of The Whut It Dew Family that also includes Magno (formerly of Swisha House) and World-Renowed Mixtape DJ Rapid Ric. It will be a live show and if you’re in the area, be sure to check it out. Call the Metro Muzik Hotline 972.897.2086.

Wednesday (7/18) was a gift & a curse. I found out that The Source Magazine™ Unsigned Hype Showcase that I was supposed to co-host yesterday (7/21) was pushed back to August 18th. The showcase was supposed to come to four cities this week including San Antonio (7/19), Austin (7/20), Houston (7/22). The organizer for the Texas Swing of the Tour was inundated with plenty of requests so he moved it back. We’re supposed to now be handling the Dallas part, so if you’re an emerging Rapper or Dime Piece Model, call us for details on how to get down with the showcase and be featured in future editions of the magazine. (Hotline 972.897.2086)

Still on Wednesday, we found out that we’re being asked to co-promote The Ozone Magazine™ Model Search After Party on July 27th. Set to take place at M5 in Dallas, its going to feature performances from Dallas/Fort Worth’s best artists. You need to be there, plus its Ozone Magazine™! (Visit www.urbansouth.us for more details).

Thursday (7/19), I had an organization ask about helping promote The 1st Annual High School Hip-Hop Showcase™ debuting Fall 2008. Expect to hear some news shortly.

Friday (7/20), We rolled out The 2nd Annual CWC Entertainment Group Back to School Drive benefiting underprivileged youth at the Buckner’s Children home in Dallas. We don’t want your money…..we want you to give school supplies. Notebook paper, Pencils, Pen, Rulers etc. You name it, we need it. The cost of school supplies goes up every year and schools now are asking parents to provide items the school used to provide. Parents already struggling to feed and clothe their children now have to shell out an additional $20 to $40 to get these extra supplies. We’re trying to ease the burden. Visit our website (www.citywideonline.net) for more details. It ends August 6th.

Saturday, I went to a Victory Entertainment Party. Yeah, I went to a competitor’s event! But I’ve known the promoter (Dro) long before I got in the music scene, like back in 2003. But anyway, it was a jamming party. If you never been to a Victory event, you need to go. Good music, good party people, a good time. Keep up the good work bro!

Well as I type this, I’m bracing for the week ahead. Tonight, like just about every Sunday Night, I’ll be co-hosting “The Union”, an organized Open-Mic put together by Mr. Kuwn-Dalini about 3 years ago. The rest of the week……Let’s just say that I’ll be busy! At times, I feel like I’m doing too much but I still have to keep moving. I’ll probably go into more details on the next blog.

This was fun. I don’t know where I was apprehensive about doing this but I think I’m getting hooked! I promised next blog I won’t be so long winded. Before I go, shout out to all of the 2800 MySpace Friends I have. I started my page about 15 months ago. I’m a little of 13,000 views. I can’t complain. Its not like I’m Diddy or somebody but it’s impressive compared to people at my level and lower. By the way – If you’re a rapper and I have more views and hits then you....step your game up. MySpace is for artists. Take advantage and promote it right. A&R’s do pay attention to MySpace. So make sure your page is in tip-top shape. Make it look like you’ve already sold 500,000 cds when you really only sold 500. Image is everything – Remember That!

Alright so I’m out. R.I.P. Tiffany Tenile Tucker (4/16/1985 – 1/1/1993) We love you and we miss you. I'll see y'all next week
