There has never been any proper commitment to marketing these artists and their music. We are not Sony.

because music is an inseparable
part of their intrinsic soul giving being

I think all those artists are artists who are appreciated because you believe their words and you appreciate their honesty in their music. If you don't appreciate the honesty in the music, the beat can be fly as hell but you'll never give an emcee props.

When I was growing up there was a product made by Sony called the Sony Walkman - a rage, everyone had to have one. Well, you don't hear about the Walkman anymore.

I know that you're better off making your own products, not just waiting for someone to hand you something. If you are handed something, it's a blessing and a curse. Look at hip hop artists, they produced everything themselves. Again, it's art vs. marketing. Not everyone can take the risk. You have to break a few eggs to make a good omelet.

Our co-founder and company president, Jim Levy, came from a record industry background and understood the marketing and promotion of artists as well as products. So the video game business went from absolutely zero designer credit to something approaching rock star promotion.

I'm sometimes critical about other artists who come out with something different until maybe I hear the music. If the music is there, then they did their job, and I'll enjoy the CD.

We're looking to have the ability to come in and be able to capitalize on the marketing in order to grow the top-line. We basically leverage what has worked with our other successful acquisitions - investment in marketing, retention and student services.

The difference between me and the newer artists is that I have the history with the architects, the masters that started the music. I know where the music came from.

In a Constant Model Mode
There is quite a difference between,
The marketing of propaganda to hype...
And that which is known,
To be daily visualized and seen.
Depicted by those in a constant model mode,
Doing their best sterotype routines!
Bravery comes from a commitment.
To be seldom inflicted through indoctrination.
And if this kind of bravery was effective...
More of it would be shown on the scene,
Instead of witnessing the power of it,
Toggled through a video game.
Or on a wide screen in 3-D!

Keep It Proper
Keep it proper!
You never know on you who might peep.
When you do a thing discreet.
You never know on you who might peep.
It's best that you keep it proper.
You never know on you who might peep.
Especially when you're seen in the streets.
You never know on you who might peep.
Keep,
It
Proper.
You never know on you who might peep.
Distorting what you do to deceive.
You never know on you who might peep.
It's best that you keep it proper.
You never know on you who might peep.
When a seeker seeks a weakness to heat.
You never know on you who might peep.
Controversy lovers love it,
More obscene.
People feed sensations that wound and bleed.
With a caring less of who's affected by misdeeds
Keep,
It
Proper.
You never know on you who might peep.
Distorting what you do to deceive.
You never know on you who might peep.
Yes it's best that you keep it proper.
You never know on you who might peep.
When a seeker seeks a weakness to heat.
You never know on you who might peep.
It's best
That you keep it proper.
You never know on you who might peep.
Yes it is best
That you keep it proper.
You never know on you who might peep.
Yes it is best that you keep it proper,
That business to express on the streets.
You never know,
On you
Who might peep.

Any change in form produces a fear of change, and that has accelerated. Marketing is the death of invention, because marketing deals with the familiar.

True To Yourself
verse 1:
somewhere in the distance
i can see a mirror of myself
who i hope to be someday
finding my reflection always there
but made so hard to see
when it's so clear
clear to me, that
pre-chorus:
when the water rises
reach for higher ground
lose your fear of flying
leave your doubts up in the clouds
chorus:
sometimes you gotta work
a little harder
sometimes you gotta be
a bit smarter
hold on just a little bit longer
just be true to yourself
at time you'll be the only one standing
don't matter if you say you don't fit in
don't try to be anyone else
just be true to yourself
verse 2:
somewhere in the future
for sure the past will come
to show its face
when it reflects what will you say
be sure there's an answer
we have learned from our mistakes
gotta do your best to change today
repeat pre-chorus and chours
bridge:
we all fall, we all cry
everybody, hurts sometimes
we all lose, we all win
we all try again
hey, hey yeah
repeat chorus (x3)
