Dealing with Superstardom, Industry People & Mr. Kuwn-Dalini

Once again, it’s Vincent here. What an eventful time the last week or so has been. Followers of the movement by now have read about and/or heard my interview with 360 D Radio concerning the dissolution of Metro Muzik: The Union. For those just now following along, Metro Muzik: The Union was an Urban Music collective of Promoters and Music Executives blazing the trail in North Texas. Together for 18 months, we put together dozens of concerts, showcases and parties.

As you may have heard in my interview on 360 D Radio, I was very surprised about the amount of phones calls and emails that I received from people regarding the dissolution. Just when you thought it wasn’t possible, it may be safer to assume that as promoters and executives, we had somewhat of a fan base. It’s kind of surreal when I really think about it. Never one to shy away from attention, I “embrace it in so many ways”. I was told that "I never met a microphone I didn’t like. (I’m still trying to find out if that last quote was a good one or a bad one?)

Anyway, as I’ve stated since the dissolution, think of it as everyone is graduating from high school and getting ready to go off to different colleges. There’s no bad blood here. I’m appreciative of the brotherhood I shared with the 5 other members and I thank Mr. Kuwn-Dalini for taking me and Chris in and teaching us the promotions side of the business. I looked up to him in so many ways as well as Ced [Jemmerson] and LaJohn [Manoy], and I hope to see everyone at the top soon!

I went to a Universal Records Listening Party this past Saturday in Dallas. I just want to say that Ali & Murphy Lee of the St. Lunatics are two of the most humble dudes that you can meet. I received an advance copy of the latest UGK cd late last week and it’s a pretty good cd. You should go buy it as it came out today!

I’m sitting here watching “The Insider” on television right now which I consider a “music & entertainment gossip show”. While they are talking about Usher’s marriage, Lindsey Lohan’s troubles and Vanessa Williams and ex-husband Rick Fox working together on set, I sit here and wonder....Is this my life in a few years? Now granted I’m not on their level and nor am I saying that I am, but I think anyone who thinks they could reach excessive amounts of notoriety, you have to kind of ask yourself that question. Am I ready to one day headline gossip columns? Who Knows??? But I’ll tell you this for any aspiring superstars out there....What you do in the dark, will come to light. So always consider the future when you make a decision for the present.

Sports Tidbits: Congrats to Barry Bonds for breaking the Homerun Record. Whether you hate him or love him….he broke the record. Enough Said. The Dallas Cowboys play their first pre-season game on Thursday against the 2006 NFL Champions the Indianapolis Colts. Sure most of the starters might only play a few drives and T.O. may not suit up, but I’m excited to see some football. Finally!!!!

As always, its been great being able to reveal my weekly thoughts and industry experiences through these blogs. I’m thankful of all of the emails I’ve received regarding my blog and look forward to future comments.
