Jay-Z Makes Dat Money; News at 11

Like the title says, Jay-Z, as good an example of the entrepreneurial spirit as there ever has been, MAKES DAT CAKE:

Jay-Z Deal Offers New Model for Music Sales

LOS ANGELES — In a move that reflects the anarchy sweeping the music business, the superstar rapper Jay-Z, who released his latest album to lukewarm sales five months ago, is on the verge of closing a deal with a concert promoter that rivals the biggest music contracts ever awarded.

Jay-Z plans to depart his longtime record label, Def Jam, for a roughly $150 million package with the concert giant Live Nation that includes financing for his own entertainment venture, in addition to recordings and tours for the next decade. The pact, expected to be finalized this week, is the most expansive deal yet from Live Nation, which has angled to compete directly with the industry’s established music labels in a scrum over the rights to distribute recordings, sell concert tickets, market merchandise and control other aspects of artists’ careers.

So there you go. There's a story of success for ya. From selling coke on street corners to major music mogul to pioneering businessman. That's the example of being hungry I talked about in yesterday's post.

Get on your grind,

listen and learn to the ways of the world ('cuz shit is deep)

and know when and how to reinvent yourself.

It's just leanin', like to the left...

Man, I've just been for a haircut, and I got say, I feel better. Funny how a simple thing like that can turn your disposition around.

I need to buy some fresh new threads. I'm still wearing most of the same clothese I brought with me from Canada. The question is what do I do with my old clothes? I'd feel guilty throwing them out. It's all about what to do with them. I 'd like to have some way to donate some of this stuff to some kind of Chinese version of the Salvation Army. Where? I got an SPC (Speaker's Corner) today, so I think I'll start off with that topic.

Okay. Now I get why I was feeling down - and believe it or not - I think it's because I haven't an MP3 player for a while. My IPOD went kaput some time ago, and I even bought a cheapy little Chinese MP3 player which ALSO lasted about 3 months. I'm really not rough with this shit, i's just like that. I need one because I need to hear that LOUD MUZIK to get me pumped up sometimes. I think my Chinese studies have been a little slower lately because I haven't had that Nas or Wu-Tang buzzing in my ear...

It's all about the raw CONFIDENCE this music exudes, not about relating to the material. I can't relate to stories of dealing weight, but I can relate to the hunger, knowing that there's a piece out there with your name on it, but nobody's gonna hand to you - you gotta smack a $@#&% upside the head and take it. It sounds a little dog-eat-dog, but the right kind of music also reminds you of brotherhood. I love this music for all the right reasons, even when its not about all the right reasons.

That's it - SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING IN A LONG TIME MOM! Nerd

UPDATED AT LAST! 新-新-新ＳＨＩＴ！

Look, shit's all messed up right now. My shoulders ache at different turns (last night was the right shoulder, this morning is the left one) and I woke up and had the liquid shits this morning. Now I hear our school wants to have the foreign trainers sitting in the different offices (divide and conquer!). Egh....

But here was the real story... my kitchen sink...
