Words from Atlantic A&R and So So Def Publisher -

2009-04-27T12:21:00.000-07:00

Artists and producers pay attention - Here is an article posted on Serge's site www.exclusiveaddict.com about what he is seeing in the music industry and what he is looking for:

"HAS THE BAR BEEN SET TOO LOW????

I'VE BEEN JUDGING AND ATTENDING A LOT OF SHOWCASES LATELY. I'VE BEEN TO A FEW BEAT BATTLES AND IT SEEMS LIKE I'M ENCOUNTERING THE SAME ISSUE. THE COMMON DENOMINATOR BETWEEN THE SHOWCASES AND THE BEAT BATTLES IS THESE ARTISTS AND PRODUCERS ARE COMPARING THEMSELVES TO THE WRONG PEOPLE. NO DISRESPECT TO SOULJA BOY OR GUCCI MANE BECAUSE I'M A FAN OF BOTH, BUT ARTISTS FEEL LIKE THEY CAN MAKE MUSIC THAT'S SIMILAR TO GUCCI AND SOULJA BOY AND FEEL LIKE THEIR MUSIC IS HOT. THEY FEEL LIKE WELL MY BEAT IS BETTER THAN "CRANK THAT" OR MY SONG IS BETTER THAN "BRICKS." THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT SOULJA BOY AND GUCCI HAVE PERFECTED THEIR CRAFT AND THEY HAVE THEIR OWN SOUND. THEY ARE GOING INTO THE BOOTH AND TRYING TO MAKE DANCE SONGS OR VERY SIMPLE RECORDS OVER CHEAP SOUNDING BEATS AND TALK ABOUT MONEY AND DRUGS AND FEEL LIKE, "IF GUCCI CAN PULL IT OFF, SO CAN I." THEY TRY TO OUTSELL MORE DRUGS THAN JEEZY OR RICK ROSS.

INSTEAD OF LOOKING UP TO GUYS WITH LONGEVITY LIKE JAY-Z, LL COOL J, OR KANYE WEST. SOME MIGHT FEEL THEIR MUSIC IS HOT BECAUSE THEY REALLY DO WHAT THEY ARE RAPPING ABOUT. THE PRODUCERS ARE LOOKING UP TO SOULJA BOY, SHAWTY REDD, DJ TOOMP, AND THE RUNNERS, WHICH ARE ALL GREAT PRODUCERS. BUT THEY FORGET ABOUT DR. DRE, TIMBALAND, AND THE NEPTUNES. I FEEL THE PROBLEM WITH MUSIC RIGHT NOW IS THAT THESE NON SUBSTANCE RECORDS ARE MAKING THERE WAY THROUGH THE AIRWAVES. IT GIVES A LOT OF THESE ASPIRING ARTISTS WITH NO TALENT HOPE THAT THEY CAN MAKE SIMILAR TYPES OF MUSIC AND MAKE IT BIG IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. THEY GET THEIR LOCAL PRODUCER WHO JUST LEARNED HOW TO DO BEATS ON FRUITY LOOPS WITH MINIMAL KITS, COME UP WITH TERRIBLE RECORDS, RECORD 20 SONGS, PUT 'EM ALL ON A CD, CALL IT A MIXTAPE, PRESS UP CDS AND PASS 'EM OUT TO EVERYONE AND FEEL LIKE THEY'VE ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING, OR HAVE A MOVEMENT (LOL). WHAT IS THAT???? I WANT TO KNOW DO YOU GUYS AGREE THAT THE REASON WHY THE QUALITY OF MUSIC SUCKS RIGHT NOW IS BECAUSE A LOT OF GARBAGE IS MAKING ITS WAY TO THE AIRWAVES AND THE ARTISTS AND PRODUCERS ARE LOOKING UP TO AND COMPARING THEIR MATERIAL TO THE WRONG PEOPLE?

"Forever In A Day" Debuts at No. 2

2009-04-23T10:17:00.000-07:00

Day 26 debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 Album Charts with their new album Forever In A Day. According to Neilsen Soundscan, the group sold about 113,000 copies during the week of debut. The album is led by the single, "Imma Put It On Her" ft. Diddy and Yung Joc. I'm surprised that they didn't sell more in the first week. Miley Cyrus took the No. 1 spot with the Hannah Montana Soundtrack.

Last night on the Making the Band Finale: Part 1, Diddy released D. Woods, Shannon, Aubrey, and Aundrea from Danity Kane. The last girl standing is Dawn Richard, who will remain on Bad Boy Records as a solo artist. Aundrea decided to stick with Danity Kane, but unfortunately Diddy believed that she wanted to give up too many times. As a result, he gave her the axe. Also, Diddy stated, that if Danity Kane is ever reformed, that Dawn will be the only member included in the group. What do you think about his decision? The other part of the finale will air on April 26th.

2009-04-15T12:43:00.000-07:00

Now, I've seen Justin's production credits on a lot of songs with Timbaland, but I didn't think that he was actually producing. It looks as if I was wrong. Justin is actually producing and he's actually not bad. Check him out here in the studio with super producer Polow Da Don. He's definitely learned a thing or two, especially working with Timbaland. I see you Justin. Haha!!

Eminem Disses Amy Winehouse???

2009-04-13T10:00:00.000-07:00

We all know that Eminem loves to take shots at his fellow entertainers and artists and Amy Winehouse is no exception. Sources reveal that the rapper has taken shots at Amy in his new single, "We Made You," with the following line:

"You're my Amy, I'm your Blake/ Matter fact make me a birthday cake/ With a saw blade in it to make my jail break/ Baby, I think you just met your soul mate."
Apparently, Eminem wanted to collaborate with with Amy on his upcoming album Relapse, especially since they both have struggled with addiction and substance abuse. Eminem emphathizes with the Soul singer and reached out to her for a collaboration. Unfortunately, the pairing of the two on a record did not happen as Ms. Winehouse declined the offer. Sources say that she was flattered by the offer and is a big fan of Hip-Hop and Eminem. However, with her current struggles, she could not go through with the collaboration. As a result, Eminem dissed her on his new track. However, reports say their is no love lost between the two. Eminem understands that she has been through a tough time in her career and needed time to get herself together. Eminem still hopes that they will collaborate on a future project.

Billboard Charts for Week of 4/17/2009

2009-04-13T09:03:00.000-07:00

This week on the Billboard Hot 100 Charts, The Black Eyed Peas rule with their new single "Boom Boom Pow."

Flo Rida's single "Right Round" is currently No. 3 on the charts. "Right Round" is the first single from his album R.O.O.T.S and is his second #1 smash hit. Flo Rida's second single "Sugar" features the talented miss Wynter Gordon, who I had the pleasure of interviewing last year right here at STAYONDECK.COM. The single is also currently rising up the charts and is probably on it's way to being a top #10 smash. Soulja Boy takes the No. 4 spot with his single, "Kiss Me Thru The Phone" ft. R&B singer Sammie. Jamie Foxx continues to "blame it on the alcohol" with his single, "Blame It" ft. T-Pain and takes the No. 5 spot respectively. T.I comes in at N. 6, with his single, "Dead and Gone" ft. Justin Timberlake. Also, Kid Cudi finishes out the charts as far as R&B and Hip-Hop is concerned with his single, "Day 'N' Nite." His debut album will hit stores this summer. Below I will post the results for the R&B and Hip-Hop chart listings:

1. Jamie Foxx ft. T-Pain-"Blame It"

Nina Sky-"On Some Bllsht"

"ON SOME BULL..." OFFICIAL VIDEO

Nina Sky's new video recently premiered. I'm a big Nina Sky fan, but this track really doesn't do it for me. I would've released another track as a single. Maybe this one will grow on me, but it's just "okay" to me. Regardless, I'm looking forward to their upcoming album.

What Happened To Kellz?

2009-04-07T08:50:00.000-07:00

Last year, R. Kelly was supposed to come out with 12 Play: Fourth Quarter. However, it was never officially released to retail circuits. Well, it seems the R&B crooner is going back to the drawing board. After the album was leaked online last year, he renamed the album and is recording new tracks in Atlanta, GA. I assume Kellz wasn't happy about the leak either judging from this statement made in an Atlanta club, "I'm working on a new album and I'm calling that muthafucka Untitled. Y'all call it what y'all want." I would be mad too if I had to re-record an album that I worked on for months due to premature release. A song titled, "Make Me Love Her" ft. Plies is rumored to be single potential. That track was actually leaked online earlier this year, but was pulled. As of yet, Akon, Sean Paul, Lil Jon, Ron Browz, Flo Rida, Danja, and Polow Da Don. I am sure there will be many updates as news of this album unfolds.

Video Premiere from Eminem- "We Made You"

2009-04-07T04:43:00.001-07:00

Eminem recently premiered his new video "We Made You," which, of course, was produced by Dr. Dre. It seems Eminem is sticking with his Slim Shady persona. I am kinda surprised he came out like this. I think he needed to come across a little different. The video is a little funny though...
