I don’t even fuck around with NIKE’s Air Force 1 shoes like this, but these hypes have me ready to copp.

NIKE Air Force 1 x ?uestlove

They are crazy. They are giving me an Obsessive Sneaker Disorder.

I’m mad now that I didn’t go in on those Black History Month x 40 Acres joints that were sitting in 255 Elizabeth with my name on them. I assed out that time.

I will mos def go in hard for these [ll].

Selling Millions, Earning Bupkus…

lovett

There’s a tiny little piece on LYLE LOVETT a/k/a the former Mr. JULIA ROBERTS at MSNBC online. LOVETT has sold 4.6 million albums and he claims to have not made a dime from those sales.

WTF?!?

If LYLE LOVETT has over four and a half million albums sold and is still in the red what does that mean for some of these rappers who haven’t totaled one-quarter of that yet claim to be reaching their status as millionaires from the record business? I think we all know the deal about that now.

LOVETT considers his albums as promotional tools for his live shows.

His record label must feel the same way and that is why they pocket all the money his album sales generate. They must consider that their promotional fee.

Being a musician is a great way to go broke.
