"Me...Kobe...Lebron...we're in another stratosphere"

"When you think of MJ, wht's the first thing that comes to your mind? Me"

"I hear people talk about me so much and I forget...I really am great"

"I'm just like you, but 10x better"

"People say 'hey you don't wanna swim with sharks', but I'm faster than sharks"

"Why do companies ask me to push products? Because I move products"

This is classic

Cleveland: My 4th Home*

noreply@blogger.com (Sickamore) — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 15:31:00 +0000

*after New York, Atlanta and Miami

This weekend I went to Cleveland for the New Music Seminar. Speaking on a panel wit executives from Interscope, Jive, Def Jam, AllHipHop, SRC, BMI, Sirius Radio, G-Unit, Motown and AOL. Shouts to Amber J,, Tone Capone and Eric Parler for throwing such a great event

First stop after getting off the plane was finding food. I met up with Sean of The Famous Firm, who reps us in Ohio, right away.
Ended up at Panini's, some bar on West 6th. Played some pool with Gaeton from Thumplay then met up with the other executive's at this restaurant XO. I was told "that's where "the Cavaliers eat".
I saw Braylon Edwards in there too dressed up as Jimi Hendrix (it was Halloween). Probably not a coincidence he dropped two balls tin the Browns loss vs the Ravens 2 days later.
After dinner, it was time to check my Eighty81 family (Jameel, DJ Steph Floss, Duck) at House of Blues for their Halloween party (which #17 also attended).
Party was great as expected, filled with Patron and shout outs. Then it was back to the Crown Plaza for some R&R.

Saturday started with a listening session. Sean and I met a lot of interesting and talented artists. Took some pictures with the artists I met.

Fameus is a very talented singer from Caton. Check out and download this dope song they played me "Spaceship"

This one singer named JaVe't had no recorded music. So she sang acapella:

After meetings, headed downstairs to the panel. The place was packed!

Obama was in the house too!
The seminar was very informative. I believe we really got somethings accomplished. We saw some more performances at the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, then it was party time!

All and all Cleveland was fun (as always). Shout out to Sean of The Famous Firm, Jameel, DJ Steph Floss, Duck, Big Heff, Gemma, Amber, Tone, EP, Manny, Sterling, Dre, Apex, Conrad, General Hawkins, Steve Raze, Kelo, Owey, Pierce, Ant Rich, Ainslee, Nicole, Jessica, Lenny S, JO, Von Jeff, Nigil, The Kick Drums and everyone else I talked too in town. See yall again on November 21st!

I Got A Good Life Man...

noreply@blogger.com (Sickamore) — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 10:29:00 +0000

It's pretty early right now. Went to bed right after the Colts vs New England game. Tired from all the traveling. But I woke up thinking to myself, 'I got a good life'. There's nothing I'd rather be doing then exactly what I'm doing right now. The Firm is growing faster and smoother than anyone anticipated.
Shout out to the whole Famous Family: Nina, Jay, Mike, Phella, Sean, Hovain, Aaron, Markus, Nisarg, Sakwe, Diarm, Sterling, Omar, Christina and Reilly. My Famous Friends: Joey IE, Rich Hil, Slim of 112, Neako, Hip-Hop, Wynter and co. etc. And my famous clients: Insomniaks, GTC, Thrillz, O&S, Flowers & Kain, Teflon Drama, I look back on how unfufilling my last job was as in comparison in to now; no comparison. Day and night like CuDi.

-Travel around the states looking for talent
-Got a legitamate hit record with "So Fly"
-Doing busiess with 3 majors plus a internatinal mogul CEO on a day to day basis
-Still have time to blog, read be a lush, tweet, play fantasy football, party but most importantly THINK

Sometimes your so business on calls and meetings, you don't get a chance to be innovative.

Barry's been a big inspiration as well. Watching his rise really makes you believe anything in this world is possible.

I'm walking these days with a diddy bop like Diddy back when Biggie cockeyes hypnotized the masses behind the Versache glasses.

Next steps: Expand to Chicago, Houston and Philly. 2009? Globalization

"Tribes" by Seth Godin

noreply@blogger.com (Sickamore) — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 11:44:00 +0000

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.
