Posted by: ian at January 19, 2007 1:20 AM solid gold Posted by: irina at January 19, 2007 5:22 AM nice job, jay! hilarious critique. Posted by: w&w at January 19, 2007 9:34 AM Dope Video! you are a a natural and I love your perspective. Peace. FREE HIPHOP! Posted by: Governor Slugwell at January 19, 2007 10:01 AM Peace I would love to build with you Jay, you are right on point. I think that the release of the iphone and the impending mobile music revolution had a lot to do with this too. Digital music sales doubled in oh 6 and in the double oh 7 - the game is about to get nasty. The RIAA and the Big Five just played themselves. I have built a team, technology and strategy to free the game from the diabolical pimpin of the 10%. Please contact me at your convenience. P.ostitve E.nergy A.nd C.ream E.veryday Posted by: A-Sun Truth at January 19, 2007 11:28 AM Great commentary. Great editing. Did you do your own editing? And did you get permission from RZA's record label to ues that track? I think I'll have to report you to the RIAA! Posted by: Hashim at January 19, 2007 2:44 PM thanks! yeah i'm doing the editing in Sony Vegas Posted by: Jay Smooth at January 19, 2007 3:30 PM perfect video. so on point. message of 2007: walk it out! hip hop doesn't need the riaa! Posted by: free the djs at January 19, 2007 8:20 PM Good 'ol Fox News never disapoints. Posted by: Robbie at January 19, 2007 9:47 PM So on point, Jay Smooth. You're a natural at this. Posted by: P.Moore at January 19, 2007 10:54 PM Smooth, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyzNrALnHMY&NR -Black People Posted by: Black People at January 20, 2007 3:30 AM going after mixtapes.... Posted by: trusouth at January 21, 2007 1:52 AM Oh, my goodness, are we on the same page or what? Love the vlog!!!! Never mind that mixtapes are fueling the American economy, ignore the fact that half of these record labels send music to DJ's, or that Artists stop by DJs' studios, homes offices and record the drops an shout out the DJ's name (Where I come from, that's called consent) or last but not least, that mixtape DJ's are responsible for bringing back dead artist and revitalize careers! When will it end people? Are all the DJ's going to have to "get signed" in order to do a mixtape? If that happens, that shit is gonna get real old, real fast. Hmmmh?!? An Atlantic Mixtape???? I mean for real who's going to buy a mixtape with Timbaland, Bjork & Zero 7, now I'm not saying it won't be great, but how likely is it that it'll sell a million copies like the lil Wayne mixtape???? Posted by: www.nimbusradio.fm at January 21, 2007 1:38 PM Preach brotha!! Posted by: J-roc at January 21, 2007 6:26 PM Absolutely splendid post. I totally agree with everything said. I couldn'y have put it better. Free DJ Drama! Posted by: Nelson Abbey at January 21, 2007 7:55 PM "Stacey Elgin is a counterfeit journalist." Ouch! I love the vlogs, they're crack and I need more already. But can egotrip's (white) rapper show do a benefit for you so that you can get a stylist and like, a painting or something for the hallway? I got $5 for you, man! Posted by: Jeff at January 21, 2007 8:35 PM u hit it on the head again jay Posted by: budgie at January 22, 2007 9:26 AM Well I am attempting to move to www.linkwizard.net from Link-Vault and let me tell you link-vault been a bloody headache. Nothing pisses me off more than wasting my time which is exactly what this is doing. The damn links are showing up right on the page yet it says failed everytime. Even better is there is no one on their support forum... Posted by: shutgunst1 at January 23, 2007 12:51 AM If it wasn't for mixtapes a lot of these artist wound not even be where they are at now.The mixtape game is big and has been for sometime now everybody that give's a fuck about the mixtape game need to make a stand, and we as people need to do something about it.I say "don't buy anymore music until they bring the mixtapes back"!!!and see what the RIAA SAY'S ABOUT THAT...it can be done. Posted by: Dee at January 23, 2007 2:32 AM nice! Posted by: fubabee at January 23, 2007 10:47 PM You're vlogging is really good. You need to do more of this. Although, I'm with Lynn on the cat. Why did he get have to get up in the mix when you started talking about snitches? Watch out for the cat? Posted by: Rachel at January 24, 2007 2:55 PM Hey, you've summed uo the hole racist-economic- enslaving perspective of the recording industry. The powers that be don't want to see a brother impower himself economically. I propose a movement of Indie labels shaking up the industry. Posted by: bigrob at January 27, 2007 3:44 PM This is trash, but the FAB 5 have it on lock down when it comes to worldwide distribution. I wonder would the feds or the RIAA could do to Dipsetmixtapes.com.. They sell mix tapes as well... Are they wrong for doing this? What about when Jimmy uses a 50 instros to rip him or when 50 uses Woo Kid to laydown nas'es "Hip hop is dead" instro to rip Nas and so on and so on... The fagots are bugging.. WE Really need to do something hard about these mixtapes. Maybe begin to Lobby the congress or something. This is ghettign rediculous. And besides, if Music Albums were 4 or 5 USD instead of 12, 15 and sometimes up to 30, please would perhaps by more of them. The main reaosn why people download and buy mixtapes are becuase music albums suck. The buyers usually only gets 4 or 5 tracks that are hot and the others tend to suck. Artist should make 5 song albums weekly and sell them for 5 dollars. Just a suggestion.. :-) What do you guys think Posted by: Setrends.com at January 30, 2007 2:10 PM Setrends, What's the history on the ratio of album prices to disposable income of consumers in the past? I mean like how much was an album back in the day relative to people's pockets? Like say a Beatles album or something. What you suggest is interesting. -Black People Posted by: Black People at January 31, 2007 2:22 PM I like your vlogg. It was cool. But, people do need to realize, the RIAA and the infamous top 5 (4) are two seperate entities. RIAA does what they please without the labels knowledge. RIAA is a lobyiest group. They just trying to get paid! And their doing what it takes for them to get paid. And know one is stepping up to the plate to stop them. No boycotts, no nothin. Posted by: Philly76 at April 1, 2007 1:17 AM Nice work! Its really a shame what they're doing. Hip Hop needs the Mix Tape DJs.. www.mark7music.com Posted by: Ray at April 7, 2007 1:48 AM |
