(Coffee Table Status) Industry rule # 4080 1/2.....

Everybody in the business is shady! A Tribe Called Quest said it best!

No matter if your in the music, movie, car or any other type of manufacturing business theres always gonna be the shady shit going on, especially when its an industry that is relatively young and still being figured out. We've seen it happen plenty of times, but the masses only see the popular side of it, ie: music industry. How many people knew that the original creators of Superman just got their rights back for the Hero? Well another "Heroes" story gets told....When you say Spiderman you think Stan Lee, well thats only half. The other co-creater is Steve Ditko who was the artist that was drawing the early Spidey comics and who seems to have been "blackballed" from the comic industry. Ditko, the 80 year old still active individual is living in Manhattan and has a new book out "Strange and Stranger: The World Of Steve Ditko. This guy could make millions off of his original drawings but higher forces seem to be holding him back. His new book is a biography and has alot of his original artwork, this definitly gets the nod from me as July's coffee table status. This is essential reading for any comic book lover looking for a good storyline. I would love to have have some of this guys original Dr. Strange art framed and hanging in my crib.

Diggin' in the tapes!

So the other day Im going thru some boxes and I come across a song that Fredy Blast and myself did back around 2002, dont ask me why I have this on tape considering it was released on a compilation album with other artists from Philly and I know cd burning was in full effect. Maybe I just wanted that tape feel I dont know?! Anyways here's "Deadly Duo" produced, written and mixed by yours truely "Sesion31"!

Whats worth standing in line for?

With all the hype surrounding the new Iphone 3g and seeing all those people standing in line overnight it made me think to myself, what would be worth standing in line for? I've never really stood in line for anything, besides a few things like a pre-screening of a movie. ie: Spiderman 1 or Star Wars, something that is "Limited Edition" like a pair of kicks (but I usually get the hook up) that I know once its gone its gone. I've actually had product mailed to me ahead of the release date because I looked out for someone in the past (which is why you stay on good terms with people!) I remember back when the Sega Dreamcast was first released I paid for it ahead of time just to have it on the release date. But never for something like a phone, especially if I already have one. If its a videogame that I have to have then I'll pre-order it and pick it up, but not stand in line for hours. Some people say its just the thrill of being with people who are interested in the same thing as you, which I understand 100%. Some say you have to experience it at least once in your life. So I ask the question, what product would make you stand in line for hours just so you can have it? Before answering that question, would you also do it in the winter or rainy seasons?

What are you into?

Whats good in your world? What are you currently into? Put me onto something, I dont care if its a movie, book or magazine, music, videogame or whatever? I need something new to check out.

Put me on!!

Technology has officially taken over, I'll take my chances running with my own 2 legs!

Lets link up is the " New Goodbye"

How come "Lets link up" is the last thing that people say before they part ways when they know that it'll never happen? Im noticing more and more especially in business that people issue these false words. I've ran into the same people on multiple occassions weather it be DJ's, promotors, directors, writers or whatever and nobody really "links up". Unless your in the click or circle with these people it'll never happen. Very few times have people been genuine enough to follow thru and make some noise, the rest of the people will only do so if they think you have something going on that they can benefit from!
