"I'm a beast on the microphone, a night stalker. A killing machine, a savage street talker. Jason with an axe, but I put it on wax. To eradicate the suckers who thought I had relaxed."

rantnrave:// Watched the awesome 4 part doc, THE TANNING OF AMERICA. Memories of hip hop emerging. "BIG BANK" HANK of THE SUGAR HILL GANG, son of our school bus driver, gave me my first 12" record, "RAPPER'S DELIGHT" in 1979. Shout out to pals and creators, STEVE STOUTE, BILLY CORBEN and ALFRED SPELLMAN, even though they didn't interview me. I am hip hop... As good as television is these days, it's brought down by the amount of prescription drugs being advertised on-air. Bothers me... Naps rock... The music supervision on @SCANDALABC is top notch... 11:11, yeah you know what I'm talking about... Are you into the business, culture and technology changing fashion? Subscribe to FashionREDEF...

The Album Doctor Is Back
|
|
|
Fixing U2, enlivening Lady Gaga, and more prescriptions for better records from creatively ailing artists A few things I should mention before we begin: I am not an actual album doctor. I have practiced album medicine in this space previously, but I am not a licensed practitioner.

Jeff Bezos, The Washington Post, and his plan to take over the media world (speculative)
|
|
|
Remember Sherlock Holmes and the dog which did not bark? WaPo remains very much in the running to be the up-and-coming mega-web site which succeeds. Perhaps the model is a Coasean one: Much of the media world has been waiting with bated breath since Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post for $250 million last year, eager to see some sign of the Amazon founder and CEO's hand at work.

What’s behind epidemic of financial industry deaths?
|
|
|
A rash of eight financial-industry suicides so far in 2014 has mental-health professionals trying to understand what's behind it. In late winter many people suffer from depression, but for bankers this is usually offset by finding out how large their bonuses will be.

The Next Big Health App Needs to Do More Than Just Track Our Numbers
|
|
|
This week we got a deep look at the rumored new health and fitness tracking application for Apple’s next iPhone, called Healthbook. Supposedly, Healthbook will not only track things like how much exercise and sleep you’re getting, but also your blood pressure, your blood sugar levels, and much more. All that collection will be great, but without a way to not just collate them, but make them meaningful, it runs the risk of becoming data clutter.
