AK of Do or Die ? "Sex Drive"

AK delivers another one of those Po Pimp, Get It Wet, Wetter etc. type songs. In WHO opinion, it actually sounds like he attempted to re-create Twista's smash hit "Wetter"...... from the tone of the girl singing the hook... to the slow R&Bish track. The one thing "Sex Drive" has over "Wetter" is Johnny P's vocal at the end, it is most definitely a hit record in WHOs book.

Kidd Kidd ? From Here

After watching this new Kidd Kidd video, and listening to his lyrics it brought to mind the film The Book of Eli. As it is more evident that we as Suns (gold) and Moons (silver) of The Most High are in a state of world wide denial of truth. For we pursue that which is void of current (energy) and justify these pursuits by accepting pieces of paper with images as energy (currency).

Therfore the question remains... Where do we go From Here

News ? 2009 Music Purchases Up, Album Sales Down

The 2009 year-end Nielsen SoundScan numbers reveal that Taylor Swift edged Susan Boyle in terms of album sales, and that the Beatles and Michael Jackson can still move major units. But how did the music biz do overall last year? Slightly better than the year before. Total music purchases were up 2.1 percent over 2008, as ‘09 brought in 1.545 billion overall music sales — which factors in albums, singles, digital tracks and music videos — compared to the 1.513 billion combined in 2008.

(Check out Rolling Stone’s Best Albums and Best Songs of 2009.)

Despite the two percent increase, total album sales continued to slide at an alarming rate. Physical and digital sales combined for 373.9 million albums sold in 2009, down from the 428.4 million in 2008 for a 12.7 percent decrease. The number of albums purchased via online retailers also dropped significantly, from 27.5 million in 2008 to 25.3 million in 2009, an eight percent slide. However, more consumers flocked to digital services for album purchases: the year-end figure of 76.4 million albums sold is a 16.1 percent increase over 2008’s figures. It appears only CDs were affected by the album slump, as vinyl sales were also up 33 percent over 2008 figures. - Daniel Kreps ----Read More
