DEVIL

The groans heard across the movie theatre at the end of this trailer when the "deep voice man" said "M. Night Shyamalan," was pretty priceless. I have only heard groans in a theatre twice. Once for the Action Drama Vantage Point where a bunch of flash backs pretty much drove the audience insane and this trailer. The movie turns out to be a guessing game of "Who Done It?" (But it seems pretty apparent who it is) 5 or 6 people get trapped on an elevator together and start dying one by one. As the Police and the not so bright building staff try to free these people from the elevator. The films not bad. Filled with morality, religion, and faith. And its not long!!!

Wins $54 Million Dollar Mega Millions Tickets


Garina Fearon won $54 Million Dollars in the Mega Millions Jackpot and will take the lump sum of $30 Million Dollars!!! She says she plans to buy her Mother a new house. But check this crazy shit. She works on Riker's Island as a Prison Guard and she says that she isn't going to quit???!!!! Now to me this seems that it could cause so many problems. First of all whats the point of working (there) with all that money? Your co-workers aren't going to respect you, the job might not let you come back ...too much risk...which then could possibly turn into a law suit for her for them not letting her back. This seems super silly to me. You have made more money then you ever could working there in 10 lifetimes what's the point? Find something more useful to do with your life! It's supposed to be a happy story but in a way it's pretty sad.

Machete

This hype machine was birthed about 3 years ago during the intermission of GrindHouse, Quentin Tarentino and Robert Rodrigeuz's collaborative effort. Me and my bro Mark Shotta were instantly blown away and wished that it was an actual film, and now it is. This movie is star studded and over the top, just like the 80's theme it was aimed for. Danny Trejo plays Machete and his arch rival is a Drug boss named Torrez played by Steven Seagal! I mean it's nudity (not from Jessica Alba or Michelle Rodriguez) guns and humor all in one film. Lindsay Lohan is in it as a party girl turned gun toting Nun! And she was naked (maybe)! This movie is just a good time. And watch as the old box BMW turns into a new Mercedes in the next shot. It's so bad it's priceless!

Oil Change of Mind


I was watching the news last night and they had a report which said that people are getting way to many oil changes. Now it has always been my understanding that the oil is the life liquid of the car and it should be changed around 3,000 - 5,000 miles. This report said that oil changes can go as long as every 20,000 miles???? The guy in the report said that car owners can waste up to $1,000 a year in unneeded oil changes. As a paranoid conspiracy theorist I look at this as a plot to convince people to not get the oil changes and as a result have engine troubles and subsequently have to get a new vehicle thus boosting the automobile industry. I'm going to keep getting my oil changed in the same way that I have been. The last thing that I need are unnecessary repairs.


Ah got some good news and Ah got some not so good news.

DRAG Vs. Mateo Yayo: Major Vs. Indie Record Deal

* Drag --- i disagree

~ Mateo Yayo --- here we go...round 1...FIGHT!

* Drag --- ding ding ding

~ Mateo Yayo --- what part do you disagree with?

* Drag --- if that was the case why was Roc a fella still on DEF JAM -- why does Baby still do business with Universal??? Currensy was on Amalgam Digital -- didnt sell squat --- Asher Roth --- is on SRC -- which gets distributed thru Universal ---

* Drag --- name a sucessful independent rapper

~ Mateo Yayo --- define successful...

* Drag --- i knew u were gonna say that shit -- i swear -- i was gonna type it before u

* Drag --- sounding like r. kelly -- "define teenage" --- bill clinton --- "define sex"

* Drag --- selling records --- that's what the music business is --- selling records ---

~ Mateo Yayo --- successful: people who blow money and freeze it up!

* Drag --- so name an independent artist that sells records --- Gold at least?

~ Mateo Yayo --- aesop rock, atmosphere, busdriver, mf doom....

~ Mateo Yayo --- not to mention your boy drake sold the shit out of a mixtape without being signed...not to mention the rock acts out there who sell without the help of shady ass majors

* Drag fanbase sure --- they dont sell no records though --

* Drag --- im just saying the label gives u the money to market --- alone ppl dont have enough marketing dollars to generate a proper "buzz" or fan base that could populate sizable sells figures

~ Mateo Yayo --- what are you talking about? all those guys sell records...i promise you you dont even listen to them LOL not to mention selling records isn't the only part of the music business...they sell out shows and is you have a huge fanbase your selling out shows!

~ Mateo Yayo --- who needs all this money when you have the internet...THINK BRO!

~ Mateo Yayo --- marketing dollars are seriously just a waste of money, the internet is the hugest marketting tool out there, the only thing majors do is shove shit in your ears to the point where you get brain washed into thinkin you like the shit!

* Drag --- whoa whoa --- im talking rappers not rock --- Drake had marketing dollars --- he had his own legal money from TV and not to mention contacts from his famous family (larry grahm) to get him way more exposure then your average rapper

~ Mateo Yayo --- ok but the point is he didn't use a major though...rap and rock are pretty much the same industry, as a matter of fact rappers should really take some notes on marketing and creativity from indie alternative artists

* Drag --- so to put stuff on the internet (not just facebook and twitter) is Free???????
~ Mateo Yayo free for you yes! those who are witty enough make it happen! seriously man, majors are for lazy people...

~ Mateo Yayo --- these days if you just appear on a major without having a cult following your career is over in like a year tops! but if your indie, its for the people by the people...better to have a slow grind than 15 min of fame!

~ Mateo Yayo --- what are you googling drag? i know this nigga is googling right now haha!

* Drag --- that sounds like a cop out --- thats like saying " i have a billion dollars and i catch the bus to work" money is for lazy ppl

* Drag --- and to that fact lets go back to the video that started all this --- why did Currensy's album get distribution thru Def Jam if Dame "doesn't need them" so much??????

* Drag --- what do have to google??

~ Mateo Yayo --- no but you know what being signed to a major means right? its more than just the money, shit if you get signed to a major the artist you wanna be is no longer an option...instead of making music for the people you start to make music to impress the execs into writing you a check! as an artist that to me is the str8 definition of selling your soul!

+ Pharaoh Ze --- Both of yall got great points but overall I gotta go with drag on this.also I Tech I think your right bout selling out shows is where big chunks of dough come from but even that is split between the labels and the artist.it's a catch 22 either way you look at it tho

* Drag --- its def a catch 22!!! they do shows cause they ultimately have too! its like 98% of there income -- doing shows for like 320 days out of the year --

~ Mateo Yayo --- he acknowledged his mistake though, he was sayin if he could take it all back...being distributed by a major isn't the problem, its signing to them as an artist thats a problem to me...

* Drag --- but when they weren't signed and only getting distributed thru Priority --- they weren't making shit --- Jay-Z woulda never been a house hold name if he had not signed to a major --- Reasonable Doubt just went Platinum like a couple years ago ---- P.S. i dont have to google anything --- imma computer POW!

~ Mateo Yayo --- ok so if your making more money doing shows as an independant artist than a major label artist why the fuck would you want to be on a major, knowing that selling records is pretty much null and void...plus currensy's album sucks ass thats why he didn't sell records

~ Mateo Yayo --- ok maybe im being naive, i know that being on a major will get you more exposure but at the same time, your level of success is not determined by majors...there are plenty of artists signed to majors who get shelved but end up going indie and blow up! catch 22 indeed

+ Pharaoh Ze --- Because the marketing dollars the label throw at you is to promote,pay your manager,lawyers,producers,etc while indies are really only good for distrubution.everything else you have to find your own means

~ Mateo Yayo --- yeah and when you go indie you also smarten up and realise half that shit you dont need...most major artists have like 20 managers who dont do shit but steal money anyway...major labels pay for major egos

* Drag --- that jawnt alright -- best music i have heard from him actually --- i didnt say that your making more money doing shows as an independent artist --- did i say that??? --- where did i say that???? its 98% of THEIR income --- major artists bring out more ppl to bigger venues -- which means they can tour less and actually enjoy themselves

For the most part I think it was a great conversation. In some points in life you have to agree to disagree. Everyone has their own plans and goals and will fruition of those plans and goals through their chosen method.

Tune Into Your Emotions


Recently I have completely stopped listening to the radio and as a result I find myself being way more creative. Are the two really linked?? Who's to say, but in the over analyzing of things that I do, I have found that the radio can seem to have a direct link to our emotions positive and negative. From the topics that are discussed to the music being played (or not played). When the DJ is mixing and your favorite song comes on and they only play 5 seconds of it just to start playing a completely different song. The commercials breaks can be frustrating and the overall repetitiveness can be maddening. You can turn to another station and they are playing the EXACT same song that you just turned from. That could drive you insane. So I am going to keep up with this streak of creativity and continue to drive with no radio mood altering distractions and see what I can come up with. I don't think that I am missing much anyway.

Andy Roddick

Besides having the fastest serve in Tennis, Andy Roddick is more of a side show then a Main Event. 200 + MPH serve --- Great! Winning a Major Title --- chances are slim. The last time he won was in the 2003 US OPEN. America has not had a great Male Tennis players since Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi retired. James Blake has always been, ummm how do you say --- not so good (sorry Randi). His story is better then his game play. These guys can put on a great show but just don't posses the ability to win championships. I am never disappointed when Roddick loses because I expect him to. Maybe one day soon the US will once again have a great Male player, but it def is not Andy Roddick.
