I like the dark lighting but the patron should have wore better clothes...make it a classier environment...it looked too much like a hole...too neighborhoody..umm...lighter clothes on the patronsand should have done zoom shoots too...he looked too distant...he has a great face and editing was wrong...he had on a hoody as he was leaving...he did not have that on as he entered the club...editor should have noticed that.....not criticizing cause his music is dope...brillant in fact he has a different sound and identity...his image lloks better when he wears the mohawk and better clothes...gazelles would have looked better too...cooler image..not too thugged out...the look is TOO relaxed....a look more put together...LOVE ALL of his songs...jimmy abney in lovely is good...e-spot is good..buzzin is good too...he can sing...great talent...he should sell tracks to artists or be a producer and I hope HE owns his stuff...people rape artists nowadays...ya know...
OK..you right...I am just trying to let everyone know invisible dollars are sprouting up through technology and he can promote his stuff online...he could have created his own network w/o depending on his family....they hustled and paid dues...I have to and so does everyone else...why isn't there a indie label there? where is the next Gordy...he could have done that....I feel ya..tho...that old way is gone....the biz is way different now...that is crazy..tho...he has to stop chasin chickenheads and git to work....they take up too much time...I will rest when I am dead...trust me.. me and my assistant Kim will be there next year.....that is so wonderful you take time out for family...your granddaughter will be glad to see u ...my granddad died in Dec and he was my best friend..I even look like him...he taught me all about how to run yo own biz...he had them white folks on lock...he was half white and made them think he was on their team...he wasn't...he employed alot of people in toledo and Detroit...he had a painting company....I learned my hustle from a white dude (great grand dad) he taught me how to flow....thanks for the feed back...tell him I said straighten up and I will be up there...Two light skinned people NEVER get along.....lololol (just kiddin)
