Top 10 Artists from DFW part 2, O.J. Simpson and more!!!!

Back like I never left, ladies and gentleman, as always I’m glad to be here. I once again appreciate everyone for riding along and following the CWC Entertainment Group movement.

I first want to address the somewhat “controversial” blog entry that I submitted two weeks ago. I had no idea that my endorsement or should I say lack of endorsement would cause some pandemonium. I’m referring to me naming the next 10 Hip-Hop / Rap artists from the area that I thought would have a legitimate chance of succeeding in today’s National Music Scene. I received a record number of emails and phone calls. The MySpace page that belongs to yours truly was flooded with email messages. All I did was answer a question that someone sent me and it caused commotion for some reason. For those that felt left out and failed to read the whole entry, I stated that not only were the names mentioned not in any particular order but they also were the first 10 names that came to mind. I’ll be the first to admit that there were some artists that I left out. But in all fairness, there are some artists that are complaining that shouldn’t be mentioned. But I guess it simply means that my words are more powerful than I thought. Maybe, just Maybe….......people do care about the opinion of Vincent Tucker. Hmm.....who would of thought?

Anyway, on to other things, since I last left you, everybody’s favorite former NFL Running back from South California that you love to hate, once again is in trouble. Yes, O.J. Simpson is now in trouble as he “allegedly” committed armed robbery in connection with 2 other people as they tried to seek items O.J. stated belongs to him. Sure I could take the liberty of taking “shots” at the former NFL Star but I’ll show some restraint. Similar to my pleading concerning Vick in one of my earlier blog entries, everyone needs to remember that until proven other-wise, O.J. Simpson is still technically innocent. So lets all not be so quick to place judgment. Let O.J. go thru the legal system and if proven guilty, then as the public fire away, but until then.....give the man a break. I’ll be the first to admit that O.J. hasn’t made it easy to be viewed as “innocent” in the public eye. I don’t know an individual that believes O.J. Simpson didn’t kill Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman in the early 90’s even though he was found innocent in the criminal trial. But I’ll say this before changing subjects, I do believe “they” (and I’ll leave it up to you to figure out who is “they”), but “they” will probably try to make an example out of him if “they” have a chance. It’ll be interesting to see the end result of the trial.

Speaking of the NFL, let me first reiterate that in an earlier blog entry I did state that my Dallas Cowboys would finish 11-5 and at least win the NFC East Division title. Some of you called me crazy but after the 35-7 romp of the St. Louis to further post an undefeated record of 4-0.....how crazy am I?

Everybody’s favorite executive, (Me, of course…who else did you think I was referring to?) has been staying busy as always. Business for our newest auxiliary company “The Young Heartbreak Agency” is picking up. From Email blasts, media kits and more, the word about The Young Heartbreak Agency is spreading. I have an interview with a nationally distributed publication coming up (Stay Tuned for that). I’m booking The Harlem Starz Basketball Team for some spots in Virginia, Georgia and Florida. The Harlem Starz will be in those states in Mid November to Mid December. Be looking for us in a city near you! (If you need a refresher on who The Harlem Starz are, please click on The Young Heartbreak Agency Tab on the left side of the website) We still are doing “Just So Fly Wednesdays” with Mr. Kuwn-Dalini at Club Hush. So as you can see....business is still raising.
As with every blog, I give my email address allowing people the opportunity to leave feedback and ask questions.

Jason from Roswell, New Mexico asks: “As an executive who didn’t profit from the Kanye West vs. 50 Cent battle, did you think it was a good thing for music?”

As I begin, let me state that I was thoroughly amused with the results of the Kanye West vs. 50 Cent Billboard Battle. It was actually a great thing for not only Urban / Hip-Hop Music but for Music in general. I think we’ll start to see battles of this magnitude in many different music genres over the next year or two. I think the funniest thing I heard following the release of the 1st Week Billboards results for the battle was someone I know who stated that “people who normally bootleg records were actually at their favorite record store buying either one or both of the albums”. That Ladies and Gentlemen, is a wonderful thing. In an era where record sales are down while downloading and bootlegging is up, any thing that can spark a fire and convince consumers to visit their local music store is beautiful. That's why a lot of us are in the business....to sell records!

In closing, I’ll answer some more questions next blog. Everyone that has supported the movement, as always I appreciate it. Continue to send the questions and comments to me. Everybody be safe out there. I’ll see you in two weeks!
