MJ's passing really seals his fate as the King. As the state of music and album sales decline Michael's albums have been flying off the shelves of music retailers since his death. Michael seemed to always want to be on top and he is still there even though he is not with us. Check the story below from billoard.biz that details his album sales. This is crazy because before his death records that only sold 38,000 were making the #1 slot. Michael is going to make artist step their game up. Hopefully the media will allow him to rest in peace and the revenue earned from the albums are put in trust for his children.

Fans Snap Up 1.1 Million Michael Jackson Albums In One Week
July 14, 2009 - Rock and Pop

By Keith Caulfield, L.A.

The King of Pop dominates the Nielsen SoundScan and Billboard charts yet again.

Based on preliminary sales numbers from Nielsen SoundScan, Michael Jackson's catalog of solo albums sold a mighty 1.1 million copies in the U.S. in the tracking week that ended at the close of business on Sunday (July 12).

That's a jump of 37% stacked next to the previous week, when his combined albums sold just shy of 800,000. In just the past two and a half weeks, American consumers have purchased more than 2.3 million Jackson albums.

Record label sources have suggested that sales of Jackson's albums were particularly strong last week because of publicity surrounding his memorial service on Tuesday July 7. Additionally, a wider selection of his albums were re-stocked by key retailers, in addition to key hits compilations like "Number Ones" and "The Essential Michael Jackson" and of course, "Thriller."

When Nielsen SoundScan's charts are released in the morning on Wednesday, July 15, Jackson's "Number Ones" collection will be the top selling album in the United States for the third week in a row, with 349,000 copies sold (an increase of 3%).

His "Thriller" moved 264,000 (up 41%) while "Essential" powered through another 149,000 (up 18%). Some older Jackson titles also saw great gains, likely owed to the one-two punch of re-stocking by brick-and-mortar retailers and the publicity generated by the memorial service.

"Off the Wall" sold 107,000 (up 108%), "Bad" did 97,000 (up 332%) and "Dangerous" blew through 67,000 (up 157%).

In turn, Jackson is still the King of the Top Pop Catalog Albums chart. It tallies albums that are more than 18 months old, have fallen below No. 100 on the Billboard 200 and don't have a current radio single. Catalog albums are ineligible to appear on the Billboard 200 chart though they can chart on the Top Comprehensive Albums chart.

This week, the entire top 12 albums are all Jackson-related. The singer specifically has the titles at Nos. 1-6 and 9-12, while two Jackson 5 compilations hold down the fort at Nos. 7 and 8.

Top Pop Catalog Albums Chart (Week Ending 7/12/2009)
1) Michael Jackson "Number Ones"
2) Michael Jackson "The Essential Michael Jackson"
3) Michael Jackson "Thriller"
4) Michael Jackson "Off The Wall"
5) Michael Jackson "Bad"
6) Michael Jackson "Dangerous"
7) Jackson 5 "The Ultimate Collection"
8) Jackson 5 "The Best of Jackson 5: 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection"
9) Michael Jackson "Greatest Hits: HIStory -- Volume 1"
10) Michael Jackson "HIStory: Past, Present and Future Book 1"
11) Michael Jackson "Invincible"
12) Michael Jackson "The Ultimate Collection"

Jackson's digital track sales have leveled off in the past tracking week, but still totaled 2.5 million in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

GAME AND JIM JONES AINT HAPPY WITH JAY Z

2009-07-06T16:12:00.000-07:00

After a weekend of a Jay-Z freestyle and a Game response via Twitter, there have been more developments to this story..."The Game may be open to reconciling with 50 Cent and the G-Unit, but when it comes to Jay-Z, it doesn't seem like there is any love for one of his great rap influences. On Thursday at his tour opener in Las Vegas, Jay kicked an a cappella line where he mentioned some of his past foes, as well as former friends. "I ain't talking about gossip/ I ain't talking about Game," Hov rapped. "I ain't talking about Jimmy/ I ain't talking about Dame ... Dame made millions/ Even Jaz made some scraps/ He could've made more, but he ain't sign his contract." Jim Jones and Game responded on the Fourth of July via their Twitter accounts. "Question: if someone says in the song 'I'm not talkin' bout Jimmy,' is that not talkin' bout Jimmy? LOL," Jones Tweeted. "We are back in business, people." "Aight so, after about 10,000 responses ... The results read that he ain't dissin me," Game Tweeted. "And as bad as I want to respond to his old a--, he can slide." However, apparently Game changed his mind. In video footage that has been posted online, Game is seen calling out Hov onstage at a concert in France. "We ain't come to play no games today," Game rapped. "We in Bordeaux, France ... F--- Jay-Z, if you don't like that, you can find a exit somewhere." Game then leads the crowd in an obscene chant against Hov. Game has both given props to and dissed Jay publicly many times before. Hov has never officially responded to him in song, although many inferred that several lines in the original "Dear Summer" freestyle Jay spit several years ago on Funk Master Flex's radio show ("You saying my name to entertain your crew/I ain't playing no games, sh--, the game's through ... You playing a game you know you can't win/ Quit playing them childish games with grown men")

NYC Congressman Calls Michael Jackson A Low-life Pervert

2009-07-06T12:32:00.000-07:00

ALL I CAN SAY IS... WOW.

A New York congressman says Michael Jackson was a "pervert" and calls on society to stop "glorifying" the late entertainer in a YouTube video.

Rep. Peter King said Jackson -- whom he called a "low-life" -- is being glorified in the days after his death while society ignores the efforts, of teachers, police officers, firefighters and veterans. In the two-minute video, King claims the "day in and day out" coverage of Jackson's death is "too politically correct."

"Let's knock out the psychobabble," King said in the video taped outside an American Legion Hall on New York's Long Island. "He was a pervert, a child molester; he was a pedophile. And to be giving this much coverage to him, day in and day out, what does it say about us as a country? I just think we're too politically correct."

King, a Republican who is among the possible contenders for the seat held by Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, said Jackson "may have been a good singer" and "did some dancing," but blasted the singer as someone who could not be trusted around children.

"There's nothing good to say about this guy," King continued. "But the bottom line is, would you let your child or grandchild be in the same room as Michael Jackson?"

Calls placed to King early Monday were not immediately returned.

In 2005, Jackson was acquitted of molesting a boy who spent time at his Neverland ranch and appeared with him in the 2003 British documentary, "Living With Michael Jackson." The entertainer had been accused of plying the boy with alcohol and groping him.

Earlier, in 1993, Jackson was accused of molesting a boy who often stayed at his home. The singer denied any wrongdoing, reached a settlement with the boy's family -- reported to be $20 million -- and criminal charges were never filed.

Stacy Brown, co-author of "Michael Jackson: The Man Behind the Mask," said King's comments were "irresponsible and insensitive" despite the fact he too thought Jackson had molested children.

"I'm not surprised that someone would feel that way," Brown told FOXNews.com. "I'm surprised that you would get a public official to say that. Let's face it, I'm not one to believe that Michael was innocent of molesting children, but he was never convicted. If he was convicted of those crimes, then hey, I'd have to agree with him."

Brown said the molestation allegations against Jackson were "devastating," professionally and personally.

"In hindsight, it was the beginning of the end of his life because I donâ€™t think he ever recovered," he said. "This was a guy who spent most of his life protecting his privacy and that was shattered, obliterated during the trial [in 2005]. He was undressed during that trial."

Jackson had partially "recovered" from allegations of molestation during the 1990s, Brown said, in part due to his marriage to Lisa Marie Presley and the birth of his children. Still, some previous fans of Jackson had grown tired of the controversy surrounding the singer.

"He lost a lot of his adult audience, people who grew weary of the weirdness," Brown said. "But he reached far and wide and was able to sell 750,000 tickets for this comeback tour. Americans particularly and the world in general loves a comeback story â€¦ There was no one else like Michael Jackson. He was Elvis, the Rolling Stones, Sinatra and the Bealtes all rolled into one.

THE 5 STAGES OF COMPREHENDING MORTALITY

2009-06-28T18:50:00.000-07:00

LOS ANGELES —

Michael Jackson, the "King of Pop" who once moonwalked above the music world, died Thursday as he prepared for a comeback bid to vanquish nightmare years of sexual scandal and financial calamity. He was 50.
Jackson died at UCLA Medical Center after being stricken at his rented home in Holmby Hills. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him at his home for nearly three-quarters of an hour, then rushed him to the hospital, where doctors continued to work on him.
"It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, the cause of his death is unknown until results of the autopsy are known," his brother Jermaine said. Police said they were investigating, standard procedure in high-profile cases.
Jackson's death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music's premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage.

STOP. That is how Media America sees this.

Now here's MY Story.

If you could be selfless would you?

If there was something that you could do for the world and not ask for one ounce of credit, what would it be?

June 25th, 2009 will be a date etched in everyone's mind.

A gift was taken from us in an untimely measure.

Michael Joseph Jackson, hopefully you will find the peace and joy you were looking for... knocking on Heaven's Door.

(let him in God, he's a good dude.)

1. The Numbness.

When I heard of MJ's passing I first didnt wanna even think about it. It didnt, couldnt, wouldnt happen and it was a sick joke.

People need to stop playing around, we just lost Farrah and Ed McMahon.

Phone call. Its true. No... its not. Hmm... nothing. No feeling. Didnt happen.

2.Defiance

Yall play too fucking much. Stop playing Michael Jackson isnt dead. 5:37 EST CNBC Pronounces that KTLA confirms that Michael Jackson has passed away due to a cardiac arrest. Nah.. cant be. Remote in hand I go to flipping the channels... All say the same. Michael Jackson dead at 50.

I still dont believe it.

3. Anger

WHO WHAT WHEN WHY AND HOW THE FUCK DID THIS HAPPEN?

Who was with Mike? WHat happened? Why did it have to happen to MJ? And of course HOW?!?!

Breathe breathe breathe... wow... now here comes..

4. Acceptance

Thinking back on the times that music was incredible, The Jackson 5 has always been at the helm of R&B. And you can agree with me about the special soul that MJ has had since childhood. Smooth in voice and flawless in step, J5 has allowed their front man (or brother) to come into our homes and make us a part of their world. From those that believed early (Diana Ross, Berry Gordy, Ed Sullivan etc etc) we salute and thank you for your vision fufilled.

5. Expression

This is where I let you know that in my heart... Michael will forever be King.

I will miss your presence and will hold your music valuable like the time that we have on our lives. You have molded and shaped a generation of people that have grown to know you as the standard in music, and your humanitarian spirit is one of a great man that has compassion and reverence.

You have raised the bar not only of music, but of being a human being.

God Bless.

THE DAY THE ENTERTAINMENT WORLD STOOD STILL.

2009-06-25T15:32:00.001-07:00

THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER. I CANT REALLY TYPE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I CANNOT COLLECT MY THOUGHTS..
REST IN PEACE MICHAEL JACKSON. THANK YOU FOR BEING THE SOUNDTRACK TO SO MANY PEOPLE'S LIVES IN OUR TIME. YOUR MUSIC WILL LIVE ON FOREVER.

2009-06-25T12:59:00.000-07:00

Air Sex Competition Trailer Photos Twitter After a year of sold out shows at the Alamo Drafthouse and the Paramount theater in Austin, TX, the Air Sex World Championships are taking to the road and touring fifteen U.S. cities in the search for this year’s Air Sex Champion. Air Sex is sort of like Air Guitar, except instead of pretending to play an invisible guitar on stage, contestants get up there and pretend to have sex with someone who isn’t there. With their clothes on, typically. They pick a song to perform to and then have two minutes to impress the judges with their overall Airness. The concept for Air Sex originated in a small club in Japan, and YouTube clips of a Japanese oddity TV show from Britain burned up the Internet two years ago. When that video landed on League’s desk, he knew it was a show that had to be brought to America. The first Air Sex Championship season took place exclusively in Austin, with semi-monthly competitions at the Alamo Drafthouse and a finals performance, pitting all the winners of previous rounds against each other, in the historic Paramount Theater as part of the opening night of Fantastic Fest. To find a new champion for this year, we are taking the Air Sex crew on the road across North America for three weeks, bringing along emcees, judges, and performers that wowed the crowds in Austin last year. In each city, they’ll be inviting local Air Sexers up to the stage at rock club venues, and the winner of each round will be flown to the Air Sex World Championship Finals later this summer. - Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Blog For any and all potential participants please email chris@airsexworldchampionships.com

Salut': Iz The Wiz Dies at 49

2009-06-24T10:33:00.000-07:00

Peace to a Legend in the Graf circuit...
Modern graffiti was born in New York, where it was associated with the emergence of hip hop culture. Iz the Wiz was among its most prolific practitioners, making his name among the "writers" (as graffiti artists call themselves) during the 1970s and 1980s. He began his career – or, as he called it, "street-taggin' " – in 1972, when he was only 14.
Born on November 30 1958, Michael Martin grew up in the Queens district of New York. He later recalled: "I wanted to do something with myself and be a part of something. The neighbourhood I was in – it was either become a gangster, a drug addict, a musician or – here's something new. It was creative, it was secretive, it was a secret society."
Line by line, Iz took over the city's subway system, sometimes executing 100 "throw-ups" (one-colour outlines with one-colour fill-ins) in a single night. He was also known for his larger, much more elaborate pieces (or "burners").
The New York writers devised an entire lexicon to describe their art. A "whole car", for example, was a work that covered the entire visible surface of a subway car. When Iz was asked how many whole cars he had produced, he replied: "You mean, like, burner top-to-bottom jammies? Oh I don't know, I never counted but I know in the years '81-'82 I did no less than 25, and that was just in that time period."
They also created alter egos. Among Iz's writing partners were Epic 1 and 2; FI 1; Vinny; Evil 13; and Jester. "We were the diehards," Iz declared. "We kept on bombing [painting multiple surfaces] till there was no more paint."
Iz the Wiz's style was wild, psychedelic and always idiosyncratic. At one stage he was president of the graffiti group (or "crew") the Master Blasters and of the Queens division of Prisoners Of Graffiti. He also painted for The Odd Partners, The Crew and The Three Yard Boys.
One of the attractions for the subway writer was that his creations moved constantly around the city, thus reaching a wide audience – "a way of getting your name from Point A to Point B", as Iz put it. A fellow graffiti artist, Asis, said: "I remember riding the trains and walking the tunnels through Queens when I was a kid.
"All I saw was Iz everywhere I turned. He had tags [signatures] and throw-ups in the wildest places in every tunnel through Queens and Brooklyn. The coolest thing I remember was that Iz was a legend and I was just starting out and he made me feel like we were one and the same. That's rare to find, writers are egotistical beasts and Iz and his crew were as down-to-earth as they come even though they were true master blasters."
Iz himself said: "What I was doing was for fun. What it turned out to be was an added plus. It was an art form developed by kids to have fun, it was an escape. A 'king' [a respected graffiti artist] is someone you want to write with or fight with. The object of being a king is to have more [graffiti] than everyone else. Not the biggest, or the most beautiful – but more."
By the mid-1980s the authorities in New York were beginning to eliminate graffiti from the city's subway system, thanks principally to the introduction of much-improved security. Iz diversified, painting freight trains and walls in Queens, and in the 1990s was instrumental in the development of the Phun factory as a place where writers could paint legally, allowing many writers to emerge from retirement.
Iz the Wiz appeared in a documentary film, Style Wars, and in the early hip hop film Wild Style, and his work has been displayed in galleries throughout the world.
For the past decade Michael Martin had suffered from kidney problems, and many believed that his illness derived from his years inhaling toxic paint fumes and dust from the subway tunnels.
He had moved to Florida and had been in financial difficulties, lacking enough money to pay his rent and fund his medical care. He said recently of the fame he had achieved: "I would trade it all back for perfect health."
Martin collapsed at his brother's home in Florida on June 17, apparently from a heart attack.
Only recently he had visited an art gallery in the Bronx where he entertained fans by painting life-size replicas of subway cars.

Chris Brown Wow... No Jail Time?

2009-06-22T16:22:00.000-07:00

June 22, 2009, 5:44 PM EST
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Chris Brown has pleaded guilty to one count of felony assault on pop star Rihanna.

Brown entered his plea before a preliminary hearing was scheduled to start in Los Angeles on Monday.

Rihanna had been on standby to testify.

After Brown left the courtroom, Rihanna entered and was addressed by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg, who explained to the Barbados-born singer that she had issued a stay-away order.

Rihanna had not been seeking a stay-away order, but the judge imposed one. The order requires that Brown and Rihanna stay at least 50 yards from each, except at industry events when the distance is reduced to 10 yards.

The judge also told Rihanna it's not a one-way order and she will be in violation if she gets closer to Brown than the order allows.

Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, said the plea deal includes five years of supervised probation and six months of community labor. Brown will be formally sentenced on Aug. 5.

Schnegg accepted Brown's plea, but expressed some concerns because Brown is not a California resident. She said Brown likely will be allowed to do his community service in his home state of Virginia. He'll have to return to California for updates every three months. He'll also be required to attend domestic violence classes.

Brown spoke softly throughout the hearing as he waived his rights and told the judge he understood the gravity of his plea.

"I think it's commendable you took responsibility for your conduct," Schnegg told Brown.

She said she hoped "the terms and conditions of your probation will have some meaning."

The deal provides an end to a case that sparked intense media interest and severe backlash against Brown. Sponsors and radio stations dropped him, and the singer had to cancel several high-profile appearances, including a performance at the Grammys.

The singer once known for his squeaky-clean image now has a substantial blemish on his record. He must now also remain out of trouble for the foreseeable future.

Lawyers for Brown and Rihanna have refused to discuss the status of the pair's relationship.

Brown was arrested Feb. 8, hours after police say he hit and threatened Rihanna after leaving a pre-Grammy party in Los Angeles. He was later charged with felony assault likely to produce great bodily harm and making criminal threats.

If convicted, the singer faced sentences ranging up to nearly five years in prison.

Brown, 20, rose to fame after the 2005 hit "Run It!" and his popularity has only grown. He was nominated for a Grammy for "No Air" with Jordin Sparks and named Billboard's top artist in 2008.

In the months since the incident, both musicians have gradually appeared in public more frequently. Lately they have been photographed separately, including at a National Basketball Association finals game between the Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Lakers.

Rihanna, 21, recorded one of 2007's most popular songs with "Umbrella" and has numerous other hits. Her looks have made her a cover girl for magazines, as well as a pitchwoman for Cover Girl cosmetics.

ShamWow Guy Says He's All Hookered Out

It took a nearly severed tongue for the pitchman to realize prostitutes are bad news
Vince Shlomi should be more careful about where he puts his tongue.
No experience is worth going through if you don't learn a lesson. Some wise man said that, we think, or it might be the new slogan for ShamWow pitchman Vince Shlomi.
Shlomi just says no to prostitutes.
Shlomi recently told TMZ.com that he "gave up" on dealing with hookers after his South Beach ordeal earlier this year that made more news than those super-absorbent thingies he hocks.
In February, Shlomi and his hired honey got into a blood bath in a hotel room that ended with Shlomi's tongue nearly bitten off and the prostitute being punched upside the head by the pitchman. Shlomi allegedly paid the woman $1,000 for "straight sex" but got a little too frisky for her tastes.
Both face felony aggravated battery charges for the incident.

The New Phenomenon?

2009-06-13T05:14:00.001-07:00

I first heard dude in 2007 on Trey Songz's Replacement Girl and told the world then... "This kid is going to be a problem"... Obviously I was right. Drake has come at the right time and is spitting the correct game to make the world see things through his eyes.. I can honestly say that this dude has some hot sauce to cut the mustard and make the rest of the rap game catch up (ketchup). Ok I know that was corny but still...

His newest songs "The Best Ive Ever Had" and "Every Girl" have shot up in the club world and has taken the airwaves by storm! But the one track that has really caught my ear is the newest one called "SUCCESSFUL". A really gritty yet subdued track that spits out the realness with a haunting chorus.. I just wanna be success---fulll.... I just wanna be... I just wanna be success---ulll...Wow...

I am a believer... at least for the moment.. So now I know who's been penning all the Lil Wayne hits for the past couple of years....All good... Hats off to you Drake... do the Hip Hop community proud man.

Cant wait for the album.

WARNING... BE SAFE (PLEASE READ)

2009-06-13T05:08:00.000-07:00

The report -- and what state and county health officials perceive as stonewalling by the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation, which tests porn performers for sexually transmitted diseases -- is bringing renewed scrutiny to the estimated $12-billion-a-year industry's long history of resisting regulation and condom use."AIM Healthcare has never been cooperative with us and our investigations," said Dean Fryer, a spokesman for the state Division of Occupational Safety and Health. So far, the San Fernando Valley-based clinic has declined to tell county or state officials the name of the performer or her employer."You'd think they'd want to be a full partner in trying to prevent the spread of this disease," said Dr. Jonathan Fielding, health officer for Los Angeles County.The performer first tested positive June 4, said Dr. Colin Hamblin, AIM's medical director. She worked the following day -- June 5 -- for reasons Hamblin said are still being investigated. A second positive result came back June 6. And the clinic is awaiting results of a third and final confirmatory test, he said.The actress had two recent sexual partners, according to AIM. One is a porn actor, now under work quarantine, who performed with the woman June 5. The other is her boyfriend. Those men have had sexual intercourse with an additional six people, who have all been notified and offered testing, Hamblin said. So far, no one known to have had contact with the woman or her partners has tested positive for HIV.Hamblin said the clinic is following all reporting rules, but because of patient privacy concerns cannot legally disclose the patient's name or employer to the county. "They also have to realize we have limitations too," Hamblin said. "We'd be happy to work with the county in any other capacity."Attorney Kim Martin, special counsel to the state health and worker safety agency, said that the state health department and other public health agencies are exempt from those privacy laws and that they will continue seeking cooperation from the clinic.In a statement published on AIM's website, Sharon Mitchell, the clinic's co-founder and a former porn star who appeared in more than 2,000 films, said the media was "like a moth to a flame.""Rumor is rampant when the words 'HIV' and 'porn' are in the same sentence," she said.Mitchell said AIM's clinic has been a leader in promoting prevention and testing. But, she added, "we are not the police department of the industry nor wish to be."Public statements from clinic representatives downplaying the incident -- which one clinic official called "not a major event" -- drew some criticism."This industry screams for regulation," said Michael Weinstein, president of the Los Angeles-based AIDS Healthcare Foundation. "Cal-OSHA needs to require that condoms be used in any film. Yesterday."The positive HIV test has concerned health officials and AIDS activists because the Valley is one of the leading producers of pornography in the world, with about 200 production companies that employ about 1,200 people who work as adult performers, and about 5,000 others. With some of the nation's largest pornography producers based in the Valley, any disease has the potential to spread quickly.The 16 unpublicized HIV cases were not investigated by county public health officials, partly because privacy rules before 2006 prevented the disclosure of the names of HIV-infected individuals to government agencies. Because no government investigation of those cases took place, it is unclear whether those performers contracted HIV at work or elsewhere.County officials were able to investigate the HIV outbreak in 2004 because AIM disclosed the names of the infected performers to the public. In that outbreak, Darren James, a well-known porn star, infected three actresses he had worked with before learning that he was HIV-positive. Another unrelated performer also tested positive. The cases spurred a series of public hearings, but legislation to force safer practices quietly expired without a vote.No state laws specifically require condom use and the vast majority of heterosexual porn movies are shot "bareback," an industry term for unprotected sex.State labor codes, however, do require use of personal protective equipment and protection against blood or bodily fluids in the workplace. Since 2004, five adult entertainment companies have been cited for a variety of violations. Each case has been settled, state officials said.Since 2004, 2,378 people who identified themselves as adult film industry performers have tested positive for chlamydia in Los Angeles County. An additional 1,357 tested positive for gonorrhea and 15 for syphilis, according to data released Thursday by the county's health department.Public health experts tried again in 2007 and 2008 to require condom use in adult films, but no lawmaker agreed to sponsor legislation, said Paula Tavrow, an assistant professor at UCLA's School of Public Health. But porn industry executives and officials, including its advocacy group the Free Speech Coalition, argue that they do a good job of self-regulation and say that the rates of HIV infection remain low. If laws are passed requiring condom use, they said, porn production would be pushed underground or outside California.John Stagliano, a former porn star and president of Evil Angel productions, said: "The market determines whether or not this will be shown. A government agency the size of Los Angeles couldn't stop it. It's not going to change."

WORD ON THE STREET IS........

2009-06-12T04:16:00.000-07:00

IM NOT WHO I SAY I AM.. WORD ON THE STREET IS THAT IM NOT THE ORIGINAL DJ SHOWTIME A.K.A. THE LETHAL WEAPON BLACK SHOGUN JAEMO ICE.

THAT THERE SHOULD LET YOU KNOW WHO I AM ALONE.

CHECK THE BIO AND SOAK IT ALL IN.

WE GO HARD RIGHT NOW.

Many can boast about being a mix tape king and the #1 DJ, but how many can actually say that they’re a PIONEER? Enter the Legendary DJ Showtime.
In an industry where gimmicks and trends sell, Showtime has stuck to a formula that undoubtedly works and has served him well for over 2 decades. HARD WORK AND CONSISTENCY. Having over 5,000 venues done and millions of dedicated fans of his work, Showtime will strike you as the everyday guy next door… until the lights go low and the music starts to play. You will be taken on a ride that you will not want to get off of.
Early in his teens, Showtime began working as an opening DJ in Harlem, NY learning and perfecting his craft. By the time he reached his early 20's, he was already making an impact on the Hip Hop world as a prominent figure behind the turntables. Influences like Brucie Bee, Kid Capri, Love Bug Starski, Hollywood, and a host of others made Showtime a more focused DJ, realizing that the power to make crowds move and shake was phenomenal. It was at that point that Showtime started making mix tapes which helped promote his skills on the tables to the likes of Urban America. Showtime honed his skills to which he was able to gain residency in several Hip Hop clubs. He also was considered to be a part of NYC's first DJ clique, Hard Pack, which was founded by mix tape promoters, Rock and Will. The Hard Pack became one of the best known organizations in mix tape history, gaining national fame in The Source Magazine, Rap Pages and on MTV's Yo! MTV Raps, which was hosted by Fab 5 Freddy. The mid 90's were crucial for Showtime because this was the time in which major definition took place in his career. Showtime's mix tape sales were high in volume and that led him to become one of the most highly respected Mix Tape Dj's in his time. He is still remembered as one of the pioneers of the mix tape arena and recognized as one of the top club DJ's in New England. In 1997, Showtime became a Mix show DJ at WNEZ JAMZ 910 AM. His show, The Friday Night Thunderstorm, took the airwaves with an extreme and influential acceptance. During this time, his slot had the highest Arbitron ratings for a mix show in Connecticut (33.1 share). His career exploded on a commercial radio level. In 2000, Showtime was also awarded Urban Network's Mix show DJ of the Year. In 2002 Showtime was named The Mix Show Power Summit’s most slept on DJ of the Year. Since then Showtime has been a mixer for various Urban Stations before making his home as Mix Show Coordinator and On Air Personality/Mixer on WPHH Power 104.1 Showtime is also a part of one of the most influential organizations of DJ's in the field of music today known as the CORE DJ'S. Now Showtime has taken on a new role with Shreveport LA's Magic 102.9 every Saturday Night for the Sexy Saturday Night mix from 10pm- Midnight, and Connecticut’s own Kiss 95.7 Every Sunday Night Jam Makin' Me Krazy from 6-10pm mixing the hits and the best music every weekend.

PEACE.

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF BEING CREDIBLE (DJS PLEASE READ)

2009-06-09T19:18:00.000-07:00

CREDIBILITY:

Credibility refers to the objective and subjective components of the believability of a source or message.
Traditionally, credibility has two key components: trustworthiness and expertise, which both have objective and subjective components. Trustworthiness is a based more on subjective factors, but can include objective measurements such as established reliability. Expertise can be similarly subjectively perceived, but also includes relatively objective characteristics of the source or message (e.g., credentials, certification or information quality). Secondary components of credibility include source dynamism (charisma) and physical attractiveness.

RESPONSIBILITY:

Re*spon`si*bil"i*ty\ (r?*sp?n`s?*b?l"?*t?), n.; pl. -ties (-t?z). [Cf. F. responsabilit['e].]
1. The state of being responsible, accountable, or answerable, as for a trust, debt, or obligation.
2. That for which anyone is responsible or accountable; as, the resonsibilities of power.
3. Ability to answer in payment; means of paying.

**remember these definitions and please refer back to them as much as you may while reading this post.**

___________________________________________________________________

So its Saturday Night and youre about to go out on the town. You worked hard all week.. spent money on a new outfit, shoes/kicks and got your head straight with either a cut or a new hairdo.

Next question is... "Whats poppin for the night"

Simply this. You want to be at the spot where its all happening. The drinks are right, people are looking beautiful and the MUSIC IS TIGHT! So.. you are going to make sure you party with the most relevant person and place in the area. The Hottest DJ and Club.

The only thing is...You dont trust anything but the dollar in your pocket! DJ's..we dont mean sh*t anymore... most people dont even know the name of the DJ in th club let alone how credible he is for breaking records or creating hits.

Reason? Corporate Media has taken your credibility and has began to become responsible for ALLOWING the public to dictate to YOU whats hot and whats not.

How did this happen? Remember that call you got from so and so from such and such records?

Remember that feedback you gave to so and so? for how many years did you feed so and so your ideas and values, your ethics on how the artist can become better if...

Remember?

Then remember how such and such MEDIA company all of a sudden wanted to do a Mix CD with so and so dj?..

then SO and SO dj and so forth and so on? But you never got that shot?

but you KEPT on getting requests for feedback? Lol... let me break it down to you.

YOU GOT JACKED HOMIE!

Its kinda like the PD that stole all your ideas and then fired you because YOU were the threat that would soon replace him. 9/10ths of the industry doesnt even understand how its own gears turn, and YOU do! Wanna know why? Your PASSION has made you CARE.. and CARING IS RESPONSIBILITY! And being responsible makes you CREDIBLE. You know how the game works, who the major players are and whos next to blow. You know how to automatically turn a wake into a celebration in the club, and your knowledge is IMPORTANT to the industry for its SURVIVAL! Wanna check something funny out? Ask an A&R What does A&R mean and what doesn an A&R actually do... go ahead... I'll wait.

BOTTOM LINE. MOST CATS IN THE MUSIC BIZ ONLY WORK FOR A CHECK NOWADAYS AND THEY DONT GIVE A RAT'S ASS ABOUT THE PRESERVATION OF RAP OR HIP HOP MUSIC. DONT LET THESE SUCKERS DRAW YOU IN AND SUCK YOUR BRAIN DRY OF ALL YOUR MILLION DOLLAR IDEAS SO THAT THEY CAN LOOK GOOD IN FRONT OF THEIR BOSSES. FIND THAT UP AND COMING TALENT AND GROOM IT TO BECOME CREDIBLE.. AND BECOME RESPONSIBLE FOR HIP HOP ONCE AGAIN.

PEACE PARTY PEOPLE IM OUT.. CYA LATER.

2009-06-07T07:28:00.000-07:00

Whatup ...Man Im just sitting back digging through some music and listening to good tunes while eating cold Pizza and Orange Juice...Nice...

Cant stop saying this over and over again.. Premier is SICKENING! Big Up! His productions are truly legendary and Id love to just sit there and watch him work when his creativity levels kick in.

Gangstarr has been a Hip Hop staple for as long as I remember. Upon coming on the scene I fell in love with the combination of Premo's gritty and raw beats and Guru's monotone delivery that amped the listener up with every line. But it got no better than this when teamed up with Branford Marsalis to deliever to the world what I would like to call the MASTERPIECE that brought the elements of Jazz and Poetry together to formulate this.

2009-06-06T07:08:00.000-07:00

NOTE THAT I AM NOT ONE FOR A REVELATION WHEN IT COMES TO SOCIAL COMMENTARY, BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN IT NEEDS TO BE SAID AND REITERATED THAT HIP HOP IS A THING OF THE DISTANT PAST. ITS DEAD.

I GOT A NEW JAY Z SONG IN THE INBOX LAST NIGHT CALLED "DOA" DEATH OF THE AUTOTUNE.

I GOT NEWS FOR YOU. AUTOTUNE WENT OUT WITH ROGER TROUTMAN..

THIS NEW THING WE REPLACED HIP HOP WITH... THIS... THIS RAP THING DOESNT QUITE CUT IT WHEN IT COMES TO THE CONTENT AND THE SUBSTANCE THAT HIP HOP HAS GIVEN US AS FOOD FOR THE SOUL. THE SOUNDTRACK HAS BEEN REWRITTEN AND EVEN THE GOD MC HOV CANT HELP IT AT THIS POINT..

**smashes a fresh copy of STANKY LEG on the concrete**

NOW, DONT GET ME WRONG..

DANCES ARE GOOD FOR THE MUSIC AND THE PARTY GOERS... THE KIDS WHO LOVE TO DANCE AND THOSE WHO ENJOY THAT TYPE OF FUN.... SOME OF THIS CRAP IS JUST WHAT I CALLED IT. CRAP.

I DONT CARE HOW MANY SPINS IT GETS.. I VIEW IT LIKE THIS

IF YOU FORCE FEED A PERSON SH*T THEN THEY HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO ACCEPT IT SAY THE LEAST.

WE HAVE THOSE CATS THAT UNDERSTAND IT... SKYZOO.. HE GETS IT.. MR.44 AND JUS MIC THEY GET IT.. BLACKSTEELZ.. THEY GET IT.. SO DOES MF DOOM, JOEL ORTIZ, SLAUGHTERHOUSE MAINO AND A HOST OF OTHERS...

BUT EVEN THEIR OWN HOUSES DONT SUPPORT THEM FULLY. THESE CATS STILL HAVE TO ROCK OFF OF THIER HUSTLE GAME JUST TO STAY ABOVE WATER WHILE YOU GOT THESE A-B-C RAPPERS.... YES RAPPERS... GETTING IT LIKE THEY INVENTED THE WHEEL....

T- PAIN... WAS THERE REALLY A HIP HOP IN YOUR HOUSE?

OR DID THE RAP PHENOMENON CATCH YOU UP INTO THE RAPTURE AS WELL?

LONG LIVE THE LARGE PRO...PREMO AND DOO WOP... YOU KNOW WHATS FUNNY?

DOO WOP SPITS BETTER THAN 3/4 OF THE RAP INDUSTRY AND YALL DONT EVEN SEE HIM ON YALLS RADAR!!!! WHERE THE HELL ARE THE A&R'S?

OH I FORGOT... THEY HOPPED UP OUTTA BED AND GOT THEIR SWAG ONNNNNNNN..

***mental note*** ALL I WANT FOR XMAS IS SOME REAL HIP HOP ONCE AGAIN..

SOME BREAKDANCERS ON THE STAGE INSTEAD OF 20 HOMEBOYS FROM THE AVE...

A DJ INSTEAD OF A SHOW TRACK.

A WELL THOUGHT OUT SHOW (PEACE TO BUSTA RHYMES AND SPLIFF STAR) THAT PEOPLE CAN APPRECIATE WHEN THEY PAY THOSE OVERLY INSANE PRICES AT THE BOX OFFICES..

ALL I WANT IS HIP HOP.... AUTOTUNE.. DIE..DIE..die...die...die..

SHOW'S CLASS OF 2009

2009-05-30T14:31:00.001-07:00

FROM TIME TO TIME I WILL POST MUSIC THAT I FEEL IS WORTH SHARING WITH THE PUBLIC AND SOMETIMES DOES NOT GET THE EXPOSURE THAT IT SHOULD.

GROUP: BLACKSTEELZ

LOCATION: BROOKLYN NY

THE GROUP CONSISTS OF DON EMF BLACK AND TONI STEELZ. NOW THIS IS RARE IN RAP BECAUSE HOW MANY MAN/WOMAN RAP GROUPS HAVE YOU ENCOUNTERED?

THEIR TAKE ON RAP IS REFRESHING AND THE TALENT IS SOUND.

THEY ARE DEFINITELY WORTHY OF BEING IN SHOWTIME'S CLASS OF 2009 NEW FACES TO KEEP ON THE LOOKOUT.

CHECK THE TRACK AND LEAVE SOME COMMENTS ITS CALLED "PIMP BY BLOOD"

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: DJ SLIM, TAPEMASTA, SHOWTIME, LAZY K AND SMOOTH DENALI AT THE SCRATCH ACADEMY FOUNDATION MAGAZINE ROUNDTABLE

There is'nt many times where true movers and shakers can take time out of their busy schedules to come together and discuss the events and situations at hand about the brand of music and it's position in the industry. Foundation magazine decided to bring together a rare breed of individuals that were and are major contributors to the Mixtape genre and the article below is the result.

Big Ups to Rob and Foundation Mag for the opportunity to be heard.
