The Red Pill - Power To The Producer!
The second you decide to turn your artistic expression into a commercial commodity you have officially entered the world of business. The pursuit of financial gain made possible by an existing business structure is what separates the professional from the hobbyist, the restaurant chef from Mom cooking for the fam, Kobe Bryant from the kids grabbing quarters off the backboards at your neighborhood ball court. It would be nice to just focus on your creative output and hope somehow the monetary part of the equation figures itself out, but who wants a room full of platinum plaques and past due bill notes? Not you I hope. As a music producer your main BUSINESS client is not the record company but rather the music consumer. The artist is your creative marketing tool (when last have you heard of an acapella commercial record?). Even though a label may issue an advance against potential future earnings, it ultimately comes down to the fan being willing to pay for the music you create

Phillies Friday at 1600 Pennsylvania...
Faced with the opportunity to finally meet President Barack Obama on Friday, Jimmy Rollins wasn't sure what he'd say to the man for whom he helped campaign in early November. He has never been shy, and over the years, he has met plenty of celebrities.
"But not one this important," Rollins said.
And when the moment arrived and Rollins was face-to-face with Obama, the conversation took an unexpected turn.
"I asked him where the basketball court is, and he said, 'I've got a foot on you,'" said Rollins, the Phillies' 5-foot-9 shortstop. "He tried to post me up. I told him I'm too quick. So, hopefully, I'll get that invite. When the hardwood's done, I'll throw a couple layups on him."
And that was how it went Friday at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

DMX-it outta jail!
DMX has been released from a Phoenix jail after serving a 90-day sentence for felony convictions.
The rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, left a Maricopa County jail Thursday on a $10,000 bond.
Simmons' lawyer, Glenn Allen, said his client was in good spirits and was still in Maricopa County.
"He's extremely happy that he's home," Allen said. "We look forward to being able to handle his case with him out of custody."
A spokeswoman for the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office says Simmons will likely return to court to face charges added while in jail. Simmons was booked on a charge of probation violation and aggravated assault for allegedly throwing a tray at a jail officer.
