Hammer Please Don't Hurt Em

After being persuaded by a coworker to follow MC Hammer on twitter I broke down and did just that. Now at the time my memories of MC Hammer consisted of the dancing clown with parachute pants from the early 90s that would later go broke and make a bunch of questionable career moves such as a low budget commercial where he appeared in a man's toolbox because he was the hammer and the surreal life, a reality TV show that placed a bunch of washed up stars in a house and forced them to live together. I really did not want to follow Hammer on twitter but I did it anyway.

To my surprise Hammer was not the man I remembered from television, he was a refined business savvy marketing guru (I still wouldn't hire him as an accountant). Some of the things he would have to say were very insightful and as a business major interested in marketing it was a real world model of my education from a man that lived it.

Here are some of the words of Hammer:

remixes...too many guest.. and Summerjams killed the business for Rap Artist... no other genre would give you 10 Stars for $25

once you turn everyone into a "critic"... they no longer "listen" to enjoy but to "analyze" which is a totally different perspective

Converting a "critic" to a "buyer" is a tough proposition... the behavior is "give me the product" and I'll "give you my opinion".

"Current Marketing" creates the "perception" of "hot" in the music biz.. then comes the sales report and the rate of "conversion"...reality

Did the marketing campaign convert to sales? Now you question the "art" of the artist... I question the "skills" of your marketing plan

Perhaps "sales" is no longer the "measuring stick"... then "profits" decline and in that model there is no longer an attractive business

Sales have to be a significant factor if "music" is the product.. there must be profits in order to sustain the business

Don't front, you know you were thinking it.

Going to a farm school has really exposed the boy to a lot of new shit, well not really just some country ass shit I never really cared about. But if you gonna holla at a girl you better fuxing love horses cause chances are she owns a couple and is majoring in animal science or is pre-vet.

Day 2: I now hate college

So I had my first run in with Toy Cops campus security today... and I actually didn't even do anything this time. I mean I had run ins with law enforcement before but usually its cause I'm up to no good. This time was different, they stopped me cause I "looked lost".

But seriously if I decided to put up a fight what did they really think they were going to do? Call the real police?

Drug Addicted Elephant Kicks Habit

Source: MSNBC

BEIJING - A once drug-addled elephant fed heroin-laced bananas by illegal traders will return home after emerging clean from a three-year detox program on China's tropical island province of Hainan.

The four-year-old bull elephant, referred to alternately as "Big Brother" or "Xiguang" in state media reports, was captured in 2005 in southwest China by traders who used spiked bananas to control him.

After police arrested the traders and freed Xiguang a few months later, the elephant was confirmed to be suffering from withdrawal symptoms and sent to a wild animal protection center in Hainan for rehab, Xinhua news agency said on Thursday.

A year of methadone injections at five times the human dosage had helped wean Xiguang off his addiction.

Now clean, Xiguang was expected to arrive on Saturday at a wildlife park in Kunming, capital of the elephant's home province of Yunnan on the mainland.

Xiguang's return would cap a 1,500-km journey home, Xinhua said, and mark another step in the elephant's triumph over addiction.

Where was Tony Jaa At? I'm almost sure that smuggling drugs in bananas was the plot of a Sonni Chiba movie...

I Love College

I just finished my first day at university. It was by far the easiest, most lax day of school I'm ever had. Man I could do this forever and ain't even been to a party yet. I'm hands down the fliest underclassmen at the whole school (alright so I already had the town on lock), I'm not a freshmen I'm just fresh man.

A Year and A Half Later....

If you missed it the first fight is right here
