Six Social Media trends via Harvard Business Review

This is still interesting that a lot of businesses do not know the power behind social media. For the past I say 8 years, social media is becoming more prevalent in daily lives (i mean, look at the Facebook like or Tweet button). When you rule out those kind of plugins or share buttons, you are potentially losing out on a lot of prospects. Prospects = clients. Clients = dollars. It's better to join and get indexed with Google and the numerous social media outlets than to just live in the 90's and early 2000's. The thing with this generation is that communication is key! Millions even billions of dollars can be made in one tweet or a convo status on facebook because people like that easy accessibility, that personal connection to the company. I won't go into this any further, but the article definitely speaks for itself. These are some very solid points, and some great things to think about for you future blogger/social media heads. Peep the link below:

Dr. Dre ft Snoop Dogg and Akon - Kush

I don't smoke, but this joint is crack. I miss these hard g-funk style beats...Dre never disappoints on the producer tip. Word up! I can't wait to see what else the Detox (10+ years in the making) has to offer!







LIVING THE LIFE (THE KEVIN HART EDITION )

I typically watch every new LTL episode, but this one is particularly funny. Kevin Hart is crazy..he's like JD's funny twin. In fact, JD makes a Flavor Flav reference. lolol. Definitely check this one out, and also check out JD's blog he's been building up @ www.global14.com . Oh yeah. If you haven't seen Kevin Hart's latest stand up (Seriously Funny) definitely cop that!!!

Lloyd Banks: Next 48 hours Part 1

I'm not the biggest G-Unit fan ever, but I always liked Lloyd Banks. I thought he was probably one of the more lyrical/clever/witty type of cats. He always had a straight forward no gimmicky style of flow. A straight up New York cat. Honestly, I thought when he came out with "Beamer, Benz, and Bentley"...I was like aight, he got himself a smash hit, which is cool. I wanna see what the rest of his album looks like. He def has some joints on there!! I like the joint he did with Lloyd, the joint with just Ryan Leslie, and "Start It Up" is an ill track as well. I can go into it deeper, but the whole Interscope dropping him situation as a lil messed up. However, business is business. I'm glad he decided to go independently because he'll get more returns...I bet Jimmy Iovine was thinking dayum...I shouldn't have dropped him. Oh well, good for Banks to stay independent instead of just going back to Iovine's camp because he wanted him back AFTER the success of "B.B.B.". At any rate, peep the jump off right quick and check the making of "Start It Up" :







Post Frequency

I know sometimes I be neglecting this joint..I have one blog that I post on at least 2-3 times daily. It's my main money maker. However, I do wanna post more on here, so you'll see more of my random ish like music tastes, technology, idiosyncrasies if you will. However, you can check out my main blog Playstation 3 Game Console Review. You might see a lot of random, unrelated posts (those are business posts), but you'll also see trailers, previews, and some gaming randomness - you'll like it if you are a gamer =). I also have a Martial Arts Blog - I haven't spent much time on it like I want to cuz I've been extremely busy doing freelance work, attending events, b-boy practice, etc. However, I will definitely try to delve into that more once the holidays kick in and I have more downtime and focus! At any rate, expect more post frequency on here! PEACE!!







Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon Official Trailer

You know..I pretty much watched these for the action and CGI's..and they make a great movie to go see in group. I guess I'll continue to do so with this one. Hahaha. I wonder what direction they are taking in this film. Hmm...peep it!
