The fewer people who understand the power of Hip Hop, the easier it is to keep the rest of the hood from cashing in on the potential that Hip Hop gives us all. I'm not talking about a conspiracy. Despite what Little Richard says, there was no conspiracy used to wrest Rock & Roll from the hands of the people who created it. The boardroom bandits simply neglected to tell the artists about the fortunes that were being made from their talents. But, that was fifty years and ten Elvis albums ago, you say. Then perhaps you should consider that , According to the University of Georgia's Selig Center for Economic Growth: African Americans contribute about 700 billion dollars annually to the U.S. economy and this number is expected to increase to a trillion dollars by 2010.
As the founder and creator of The League Magazine, it's my duty and privilege to share this information with every artist, entrepreneur and consumer who's willing to read. My goal is simple. It is to help close the gap between the value that we create and value of what we get back. And that, my friends, is the message of Hip Hop.
But anyway, CAN YOU HELP ME GET A BOOK DEAL WITH SIMON AND SCHUSTER? Oh and to all you bloggers out there I will be on here everyday giving my take on success as Mr Liles does. Once again, its George Houston the official president of the bloggers "turning contacts into contracts one boardroom at a time" and I am Making it Happen.
Stay Blessed and stay tuned....

Why is there no commercially viable Spoken Word CD's on the market? I think a large record company with adequate distribution should release an album. It might not sell 5 million albums but I know it would do better than some of these washed up entertainers projects. The youth of today need heroes that are not rapping thugs or horney sex crazed singers. They need to see someone famous speaking their mind and getting paid for it. Plus, look at the success of Def Poetry on TV and live on Broadway. It is obvious that if you market a product right you could have an act that could sell out medium sized theaters and move a million or so units. If you didn't have to spend so much to market it, like grass roots style, this could actually make money. I have such a product.
My company is called IU Entertainment Inc. and the project is called "Shades Lounge". Shades Lounge is a spoken word poetry CD recorded in the studio but has sound effects and mood elevating atmosphere that makes the listener feel as though they were hearing a live performance. We sell it packaged with a book of all the poems to allow for creative enhancement. Our marketing plan is to push what we have going for us... We will be taking people out of their boring humdrum jobs, or homes and placing them inside our mental club where the jazz is swinging and the smooth romantic poetry is flowing.
In addition to our spoken word we also record audio theater, which is like the radio plays of the 20's but with updated stories, killer sound effects and a hot musical score. We have a Recorded cookbook CD called "Maybe it’s your Cooking", and urban story books that cater to minority audiences.

The black youth need to have another creative outlet and they desperately NEED to see other people of color making things happen (such as you). Why not give them a company like this one!

We sell it packaged with a book of all the poems to allow for extra creative enhancement.
Our marketing plan is to push what we have going for us... We will advertise and promote how our CD takes people out of their boring humdrum jobs, or homes and places them inside a mental night club where the jazz is swinging and the smooth romantic poetry is flowing.

Anyone not living in a cave for the past thirty years knows that Hip Hop is the distinctive, irrepressible voice of many talented artists in music and other media. A few people, however, might be surprised to know that Hip Hop also is the product of a whole generation of entrepreneurs. Even more surprising is that there are people who don't want you to know that Hip Hop is a multi-billion dollar business.
Why should anyone care about how much money is generated by Hip Hop? The answer is simple if you look past the celebrity and the hype. Looking past the conspicuous wealth, you'll find Hip Hop's real power. Fortunately, it isn't a ticket that allows a talented few to move from the hood to the boardroom. That's what the NBA is for. Instead, Hip Hop is like a big-assed moving van that has picked up the whole damned hood and dropped it in the middle of the boardroom. Hip Hop has opened and is opening so many doors to corporate America that no one knows where they all lead.
