Making Music Making Cent$ ?????

I was on the phone talking to my friend and brother today in NJ, meaning he's in NJ, I'm in Chicago, Do you have a person that you can talk too and it's like talking to your higher self? well this is that dude. A power brother to connect with on any subject,(BUT ANYWAY) We were talking the music business and the way things have changed from artist to technology in multimedia. I told him that I figured out why music has changed for better or worse and in my Opinion for believing music has changed is the home studio's. Home studio's have sold out to the way we build quality music, Now This don't effect the true talent! but most beginners and some so called seasoned vets you wacky ones know who you are! The days of LAKESIDE,The OHIO PLAYERS,RICK JAMES, SLY & THE FAMILY STONE,JAMES BROWN ETC. Are long gone, I began to tell my friend that people feel because they have a MPC2000XL a PC OR MAC & a KEYBOARD, that they are the real deal and about to cash in on some serious dough and the world owes them for there music talents! hold em up junior! before you go shopping for that Bling from Jacob the jeweler you better WAKE UP and SMELL the COFFEE! Remember nobody owes you a thing learn the business before you invest know the P&L'S before investing watch the market and try to watch the curves. the music business is like putting a very expensive automobile in the mountains, If you don't know that mountain why would you break the seat back for your gangsta lean turn your music up to ten and go speeding in it, sooner than later your going to crash some crash & burn, all I'm saying is get to know your directions before you get comfortable behind the wheel Know your role and seek professional help but remember all professional help isn't good help you become the helping (greed) instead of the helped. know the game play it well and you'll survive.....

knowledge is power & GOD IS LOVE
