Congrats to the people at WDISL (What Do It Smell Like) Records on the launch of their new magazine and line of scented underdrawls inspired by Fox Boogie (doodoo) Brown.
This is the kind of forward thinking that you need to be a successful crap music mogul. Your not going to make money anymore on the sale of media. What you will make money off is the sale of a lifestyle. The image you convey to your listeners is what will convince them to consume the products you endorse for your lifestyle.
To that extent I asked the crap music moguls participaating in the Q4 cMFL to answer a few questions regarding the lifestyle they will convey to their audience. The point of the exercise was to see how many label owners knew how to keep their shit crappy. I’m proud to say that almost everyone had the same answers even though some of the music moguls are from places like Georgia, Holland, Canada, England, Texas and even Detroit.
I think that it’s the universatility (my word bitches) of cRap music that allows us all to use one crappy mind when we think.
1) What side businesses do you own along with your record label?
The overwhelming majority agreed that nail salons/barbershops were the way to keep the label cake stacked. How about buying a strip mall where you had a nail salon, rim shop and sneaker store in operation during the day and at night you hired the nail techs to cook up that chinese food, and manage a strip joint/massage parlor out in the back by the pool?
2) What will you do with your first million dollars?
Somebody said some crazy shit about starting a non-profit that would donate broken cell phones to crazy homeless people so that when they walked down the street talking to themselves at least they could have a phone to hold up to their heads. Most of you correctly answered that you would ball out until the wheels fell off.
3) Should T.I./Tip be set free?
Everyone seems to want T.I. to be set acquitted of charges that he illegally possesses firearms, but strangely enough they want Tip to be sent to prison to prevent T.I. from getting in any more trouble. Split personalities are taking over in 2008. I suggest you all develop one or twenty.
4) Should Foxy Brown be set free?
Foxy Brown should be set free inside of nail salon with a case of BlackBerrys because that is where she scores the most points.
5) Which is worse, getting raped or being arrested?
Getting arrested is good for crap music points. Getting arrested for raping someone like 2Pac is good for even more points.
Getting arrested for raping someone, and being raped while you are in jail[ll] is NOT what’s really good.
Is God about to hook slap Foxy?
And where did you get a picture of my company vehicle?
Them shits is photocopied nigga and you will be hearing from my lawyer AKA uncle.

1. Investment Company. Tranform dem dollars into euros.
2. Invest. Fuck Rich, let’s get Wealthy!
3. TI? Fuck no!
4. Foxy? Yes, she needs medical attention, not incarceration.
5. Been arrested, wasn’t that bad. Never been raped. Don’t want to ever been raped. Just watched “Irreversible” for the 1st time this weekend (please netflix this joint if u havent seen yet). Rape is not cool.
Le Tenia is no joke.
“Somebody said some crazy shit about starting a non-profit that would donate broken cell phones to crazy homeless people so that when they walked down the street talking to themselves at least they could have a phone to hold up to their heads.”
Don’t forget the nursing homes. True story – one time I was in this place and there was this lady chillin in the hall in some chair. She took out her teeth, put them to her ear like she was listening to something, then put them back in her mouth to talk. Repeat the process. She did it for a good 15 minutes.
when i was little my class would visit a nursing home once a week to play uno and yahtzee and all other types of classic joints with some senile old folks.
Those old fucks alway cheated though. I told them to get their shit straight, but they would just say some nonsense and keep cheating.
Everyone know that Rafi’s from oh word’s old blog on Cam’ron Giles’ rhyme book just got featured on okayplayer? kinda cool. That was hilarious then and is funnier now.
@ Combat Jack:
Irreversible is one of the most slept on flicks of the last 5 years (it’s only a little gay.. but it’s still good). It’s on my list of the top 25 Cult Films Of The Internet Age (1996-)
