Newest reading material. Don't read? No problem. Here's the audio book FOR FREE courtesy of my boy Melfi
Hate books? This quotes for you courtesy of my mans and em DMX:
Tommy 'Buns' Bundy: Come on with the bullshit, man. You think another motherfucker know what you need to do? Ain't no purpose, dawg. It's money. We born to fucking die, man. In the meantime, get money. Fuck a book, man. Sincere: Yo, when's the last time you read anything, man? Tommy 'Buns' Bundy: Never, motherfucker.
My homie Tenielle from Boys & Clothes sent some notes on it, just to make this whole process easy for you:
It was good. Better on audiobook. Here's some of my spoilers.
Belief is a brilliant strategy.
Its Good To Be King - Marketing
Stability is an illusion.
Making A Ruckus - Change
Great leaders empower movements by inspiring the tribe to communicate.
Tribes aren't about "stuff" they're about connection.
Wikipedia
Leading From The Bottom
Good enough isn't good enough, try being great. The difference between average and mediocre.
Standard=mediocre.
Defending mediocrity is exhausting.
An individual artist needs only 1000 true fans in their tribe.
What they demand is generosity and bravery.
Twitter
Everyday it becomes simpler to choose to tighten the relationships with the people who choose to follow you.
Initiative = Happiness
You have everything you need to build something far bigger than yourself. The people around you notice this and they're ready to follow if you're ready to lead.
The F-Word
The Peter Principle
Fear of failure is overrated.
The Cult of The Heretics
Great leaders focus on the tribe and only the tribe.
Great leaders don't want the attention, they use it. They use it to unite the tribe and reinforce its sense of purpose.
Its uncomfortable to resist the urge to settle.
Leadership is a choice. Its the choice to not do nothing.
Leaning in or backing off but not doing nothing.
Curiosity
Great leaders don't try to please everyone. Great leaders don't water down their message to make their tribe bigger.
Who Settles
Faith
Without faith its suicidal to be a leader.
Leadership requires always acting like the underdog.
Leaders cause the events that others have to react to.
The Difference Between Things That Happen To You And Things You Do
XXLMag.com: How does a nice R&B singer such as yourself end up on an independent rap label like Asylum?
Slim: Shouts to Shakir Stewart [Senior Vice President of Def Jam], you know we’re boys. He was like, “I get your music.” I’ve been in the major system for so long, it was just becoming monotonous. I want to do something my way, my own imprint. He made the phone call to Joie, Joie sent Sickamore to Atlanta to hear the music. You should have seen this whole episode. I’m driving up, Sickamore stands out in front of the spot, he sits in the back of the car and says, “Play me some music.” I play the first record, and the first record must have got him. He is trying his best in the car like “Okay, go to the next one.” Next song was “So Fly.” He has his brim over the eyes, “Could you go back to the first one, okay.” Then he goes back inside to get the CD. He must have played it for the people he had inside. He comes back, and says “Come up.”
That sounds like some secretive stuff going on. Some Mafia type stuff? When we go inside he had his whole street team. He was like “Your music really sounds good.” So that’s how things got started. I didn’t really want to do a solo project, but I did want to start my own label. Everybody knows that I have a distinctive sound, working with 112. To get the ball rolling it’s easy, so that’s why I came with Love’s Crazy. But I have other projects coming. I’m working with Faith. I am working with a nineteen-year-old rapping sensation, Diesel aka Fresh money. I have my group Ivy League. I am doing an album with 8Ball of 8Ball & MJG; we call it Fatboy Slim: The movie. We are bringing the best worlds of both worlds, Memphis and Atlanta. We are coming together.
First in my Eighty81 league, I blew some dude out (pause!) by almost 100 points! Thomas Jones, Steven Jackson, New York Giants Defense and even Wes Welker had big games!
Then I caught up like crazy in my OnSmash league. I passed destroyed the XXL cover boys Wale and Curren$y. Next stop is passing Mr. Ortiz then the owner of the site.
Wk 7 Total Che Wavera 11-3 59-43 Joell Ortiz 10-4 61-41 Curren$y 7-7 51-51 Wale 6-8 55-47 Hof 9-5 63-39
Asher Roth x The Cool Kids Freestyle Video @ Sk8tique

Great Moves: -Picking Miami. I knew they were getting good after that Pats game -Betting on Atlanta. I'm down in that city a lot, so I know the teams potential
I was not playing any games with my football this weekend. Yankees lost. Knicks suck. Therefore all my attention is on my fantasy football team: The Old Head Killers.
Last week I score the secnd most points out of anyone in the league (111) but lost my game. I reserve the blame to Thomas Jones. His team scores 55(!!!) points but he only rushed for 60 something yards. Too much boo lovin' for you Tommy. Sucker for love, mmm mmm, sucker for love.
