New Lil Wayne-I’m Me, off the Carter III. | Metal Lungies

This morning Jota from the Today Show interviewed Mr. Phelps and asked him what was he listening to. He paused and said "Lil Wayne- I'm Me..." He's young and right now hiphop is the young man's culture. I heard the song and yeah it can get you focused but what do you think? Sorry I couldn't find a clean version...

I'm just gauging my progression what do you think, Have I improved or digressed?

How to Promote your single... Lesson 1

This will be an on going article using many independent artists and techniques...

First thing that counts is your SOUND!!! Don't push crap. Make sure it's the best mix you have and don't assume only "music" producers will here it and see your vision. To be successful, you must put your best unhurried foot first at all times...Most of the demos i receive are of good quality. For instance, CASHFLOW, an artist from Harlem has a great sound along with his rhymes. The singles are clear and EQ'd properly so you can go from the emailed attachment to your ride and still sound good. No fumbles or retakes, just an excellent mastered single. Even if it was done with a tape recorder and mike, do the best you can to get the levels right. Execs won't waste their time with product they can't sell 2moro. You have to be ready today...

I'm not sweatin or working for this dude... I'm just proud of how he's using the Internet and Myspace and Youtube and emails to promote hisself. Of course it's his management team that's pushing him. About once a month I receive emails with a new single, links and current Cashflow events... I didn't sign up for this but I'm not annoyed either b/c he really sounds good! I don't usually rep Harlem(except Cam b4 the Jayz diss...), but this young lion is really making waves... So what's the point in today's lesson? Network, get a mailing list of influential people and keep them in the loop with new singles and current events. Once this dude gets on MTV, money & fame will be next, that's why we doing this right???

Lil Wayne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. (born September 27, 1982[1]), better known for his stage name Lil Wayne, is an American rapper. He met the Cash Money Records collective as a teenager and eventually recorded for the label. He was a member of the rap group, Hot Boys."

I avoided the BET Awards this year. Still mad at music. Tonight though, we landed on the re-broadcast and I was stunned! Lil Wayne was the closing act and the camera panned the audience during his performance. What amazed me was how every artist shown in the crowd was reciting Weezy's Lyrics word-for-word! That's Power to me. Not only is he repeated by every young man (EVERY) with earphones, he's your favorite rapper's favorite rapper....

And You Dont Stop | Get Info About the TV Series, Find Info on the TV Show Episode | VH1.com

"From its humble beginnings in the South Bronx to the global, cultural and economic powerhouse it has become, hip hop has reshaped the world. VH1 documents this cultural explosion in a five-part series."

Good music connects. If you want to feel a certain way, you play a certain type of music. Young ones usually feel the same way across the planet. That's why when we were young we related to two kinds of music: Rock and Hiphop. Thanks to MTV, we've crisscrossed our cultures and music to make the world a little closer, whether we what to admit it or not. Today rock groups rap and rap groups add electric guitars. This isn't new, but it is more frequent than before. I wonder what type of music there will be once my kids get to their teens...
