I TOOK THIS PICTURE LAST NIGHT AT THE KERI PARTY. IT LOOKS LIKE THE PARTY IS OVER FROM THIS BUT THIS WAS AT 1:15. THE DJ WAS PLAYING ALL THE RECORDS WE KNOW AND LOVE, EVERYBODY WAS TRYING TO GET IN VIP AND NOBODY WAS ON THE DANCE FLOOR. THIS HAS BECOME THE LIFE OF THE BLACK CLUBS HERE IN THE A. WHERE DID THE PARTY GO? LAST YEAR AT MY SO SO DEF WEEKEND I HAD A SUPER FLY WHITE PARTY, EVERYBODY DRESSED UP LIL JON WAS DJING BUT I HAD TO DAMN NEAR STOP THE PARTY TO GET PEOPLE TO DANCE. IS THIS THE NOT DANCE IN THE CLUB ERA AND I JUST DIDN’T GET THE MEMO CAUSE I’M LOST. MY NIGGA SERGE ASKED ME IS IT THE DJ’S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE PEOPLE GET ON THE FLOOR? YES AND NO IF HE DROP THE RIGHT RECORDS PEOPLE SUPPOSE TO HIT IT. SOMEBODY ELSE ASKED IS IT THE BLACK HOLLYWOOD PARTIES THAT CREATED THIS? I THOUGHT THOSE WERE SUPPOSE TO BE THE BEST BUT EVERY TIME I LOOK UP ITS A MILLION CAMERA PHONES AND NOBODY DANCING. IT SEEMS TO ME THESE CLUBS ARE NOW PLACES TO SEE CELEBRITIES, LISTEN TO MUSIC AND DRINK. DANCING AIN’T IN THE PROGRAM LOL. HAVE YALL NOTICED THIS OR AM I TRIPPING ?

YESTERDAYS BLOG ABOUT R&B HAS SPARKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS. BEFORE I POSTED THAT I WAS TALKING TO PEOPLE ON MY TWITTER ABOUT THE A&Rs AND HOW I FEEL YOU’VE SEEN THE LAST OF THEM. ONE OF MY MAIN REASONS FOR SAYING THIS IS BECAUSE THE BOSSES THAT RUN THESE COMPANIES ARE STARTING TO LOOK MORE AND MORE LIKE MORONS BECAUSE THERE A&Rs ARE NOT SIGNING STARS. SECONDLY A&Rs OF TODAY TO ME ARE MORE LIKE BABYSITTERS THAN VISIONARIES AND A BUNCH OF NIGGAS JUST STEALING MONEY. SO AS BUDGETS GET CUT AND JOBS GET ELIMINATED I SEE THIS AS THE NEXT ONE TO GO. I ASKED A GIRL ON TWITTER WHAT SHE THOUGHT THE POSITION ENTAILED AND SHE SAID SOMEBODY THAT’S OVER THE ARTIST PROJECT HMMMM I WONDER HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE JOB THINK THIS. NEXT SOMEBODY ASKED ME IF THE A&Rs ARE ELIMINATED WHO’S GONNA DO IT AND I REPLIED THE BOSSES, THE WAY IT WAS WHEN THE BUSINESS WASN’T IN THE TOILET AND IF THEY DON’T THEY SHOULD BE FIRED. I WAS READING THE COMMENTS AND I SAW WHERE SPOCK SAID THAT I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE STATE OF R&B BUT WAS I THE PERSON TO REALLY CHANGE IT SINCE I PASSED ON SIGNING LUDACRIS. I NEVER SAID I WAS HERE TO CHANGE THE PROBLEMS IN R&B I WAS JUS SPEAKING MY MIND. NOW MY QUESTION TO SPOCK IS WHAT CURRENT PRODUCER HAS FOUND AND PUT OUT MORE SUCCESSFUL ARTIST THAN ME? KEY WORD “FOUND”  THAT’S THE JOB OF A A&R . FIND IT, UNDERSTAND IT, HELP DEVELOP IT, TAKE IT TO THE LABEL WITH A PLAN. THE LABEL IS THEN SUPPOSE TO FOLLOW AND PUT THAT PLAN IN EFFECT.

CAN YOU LEARN TO BE A GREAT A&R ? THAT I DON’T KNOW, I BELIEVE ITS A GIFT. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A EAR, YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN EYE, YOU HAVE TO BE A CHANCE TAKER ECT…………..LIFERS WHAT DO YOU THINK ?
