#GetAtMe

You know I took a moment off because I really wanted my blog to go in a different direction (I never meant for GetAtMe to be a hiphop industry pander piece…)  It became clear to me that hiphop marketers were turning the digital hiphop marketing segment into a circus of foolishness (and I chose not to be one of the clowns so I took a step back…)

Many of the artist and songs I profile on GetAtMe, I don’t know these people, and at times I’ve gone out of my way not to know the artist because I really wanted to be the voice for great music for djs in all genres (I know it sound corny but that’s the real…).  I didn’t want relationships clouding my views (and really, I’m not into being a groupie at all…)  I didn’t do GetAtMe for clout and I really wasn’t interested in it as an entrepreneurial pursuit.  I just wanted to find hot new songs (not nesseccarily artist…) and let the djs gauge the info for themselves.

I wanted to deliver information like Nelson George did when he was the editor of urban music for Billboard magazine.  Entertaining, witty and informative stories on songs, artist and the industry.  Somehow this thing GetAtMe became something else and now I want GetAtMe back.  So I had to change it up and I will be driving home the point that sales is the only weight that matters (F*ck the industry politics…).

Your value as an artist is how many times a customer goes in their pocket (know this and embrace it…)  Like I said before, if your friends would rather buy a Black and Mild cigarette as opposed to your music, then that says it all.  You got work to do.    It easy to say “I got you…” it’s more profitable when they buy the music (remember a stream is an excuse for why they didn’t buy.  You don’t have to go in that pocket to do a stream.  It takes a different type of commitment to buy.

So let’s get this thing back on track and remember  "There nothing wrong with the record business that A good record can't cure..."

CHeck our FAMOUS  by Lil Wayne ft Reginae on mixcloud now https://www.mixcloud.com/reginaldshipman/getatme-3pcsnack-this-weeks-hot-music-ft-dua-lipa-losemyself-thisladyishot/

Man every once in a while I just gotta pick the great song (that’s what djs do…)  No industry politics or industry folks on the push.  Just a great song,  this is that song.  Dua Lipa as I’ve said before has the ability of releasing tumblr blogs as singles.  Her connectivity to her fans is amazing.  Young suburban females are really on her team (hmm a model that sings and connects to the primary buying target market, I think that will work… #JustSmart) Look I’m way early on this one (I don’t care, I like the song and the artist… #YouCantPayARealInFluencerToInfluence)  This is for the Djs and the fans (who we are supposed to be reaching anyway… #Ijs ),  Remember “there’s nothing wrong with  the record business that a good record can’t cure…)

On this GetAtMe 3PcSnack we profile this week’s Hot New Music (the new Logic ft Wu Tang WU TANG almost made this mix but these 3 cuts were the real contenders.

• Dua Lipa (24.3 pts out of 35) is on a real roll (her last hit IDGAF topped the charts…) This new cut LOSE MYSELF  is certified.  This cut is so well written and once again Dua’s growing fanbase of young women will be on this cut like a Tumblr blog. This cut is beautifully written and performed… #LoseMySelf
• Cardi B RING (23.6 pts) This cut is another smoker off the Cardi B album.  Radio’s gonna love this cut and again the female demos are well targeted.  The growth from Cardi on this song is the real focus point here.  This is a great song (ft Kelanie) with a great performance, strong lyrics and story and great production.  Cardi is really on some next level moves… #Ring
• Lil Wayne FAMOUS (23.3 pts) Finally the Carter V is here and this cut FAMOUS by Lil Wayne ft his daughter Reginae is another hot new single (most are going for the single MONA LISA ft Kendrick Lamar but this cut FAMOUS is the real deal (radio is gonna love this cut…)  Great lyrics and content are the leads on this cut and this cut is the Lil Wayne we all love.  The paring of him and his daughter was a clever move as it brought not only loyal Lil Wayne followers but it also created a new youthful corner due to his daughter’s online presence (hmm where Lucci on this cut… #JustSayin)… #Famous

That’s this GetAtMe 3PcSnack ft Dua Lipa, Cardi B and Lil Wayne.  Remember “there’s nothing wrong with the record business that a good record can’t cure…”

Dear Client

What’s up?  It took a moment for me to really decide what I wanted to put on this new InDaMixxx.  Marketing people have really sort of messed up the music handicapping game by pushing product (their job…) that’s not selling.  We as djs have to use sales as our hot gauge at the end of the day (well I do…) when we are really trying to gauge a songs hit potential.  Over the last few months there have been many great songs that won’t make it because of today’s music marketing environment (all the Toni Braxton product is hot…).  So I felt I had to create a separate mix where I could place this new product that was hot but the product lack Muscled (the streets and online…) and Juice (clubs and radio…)  I decided to use the InDaMixxx for this purpose (this decision took months but I’m glad I finally made the decision.

• We started out the mix with a BeatMakanixxx djsinglemix Ella Mai BOO_D UP (great summer cut…) and then went into the Drake’s hit NICE FOR WHAT (strong dj cut…)
• Then we mixed in the new BeatMakanixxx djsinglemix Nicki Minaj BARBIE TINGZ (this cut’s energy is crazy…) and we followed that with a BeatMakanixxx djsinglemix of the master drummer Sonny Emory (from Earth Wind and Fire and many other great artist) new cut I ADORE YOU (here you go Sonny…) I like doing this cut and the jazz grooves and dance beats really work…
• As with all out InDaMixxx mixes we blend in the GetAtMe Anthem WHO’S THAT DJ AGAIN and then we bring in the new BeatMakanixxx cut I BELIEVE N U ft MarqDean (I believe the truth is out there…
• We come out of that into a great mashup by Hi-Lo ft Alien Technology/Bodak/My Way (this mashup is hot…) and that is followed by the Janelle Monae classic SINCERELY JANE (bet yall never saw this one being a dance cut… #lsmh )
• All the new Toni Braxton product is hot ( #frfr ) and that’s why we decided to do a djsinglemix on her new cut SEX AND CIGARETTES (djs are gonna love this cut…) and then we mix in our Cardi B mashup classic by the BeatMakanixxx I LIKE THAT/WHATS UP ( we told yall she was the truth and this mashup let djs know that also…)

That’s this edition of our GetAtMe InDaMixxx num 20

Dear Client

There is a horrible lie being perpetuated in hiphop, “sales don’t matter…” (which is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.  Why be in business if you’re not selling something. That’s not a business, that’s a hobby…)  Hip Hop has caught a disease of silliness where marketing matters more than sales (“if we just keep saying it’s a hit then they will believe it”  Really they won’t…)  The lie in hip hop has become bigger than the business and now the lie is the business model (this has gotta stop, it’s killing the genre…).  Here’s the problem…

Kid’s (our core buyer…) usually don’t believe marketers (you can’t influence influencers that have been influenced by a budget.  It doesn’t work unless you’re a marketing company getting said budget…)  Real fans buy based on they want it first and they are real supporters of a certain artist and their lifestyle.  Real djs want it first to have bragging rights for breaking a song first (the real currency of influencers…) So it doesn’t matter how much you market if it’s not a hit with 1st impact buyers and 1st impact djs (that cater to 1st impact buyers)   When the air is not certain on a new song’s potential then the deciding factor becomes the songs sales (not streams.  That’s like getting credit for a test drive of a new car.  Oh they’re financing test drives now?)  Sales become the determinate of potential demand and fans true connectivity and adoption to a song (radio plays only draws attention to songs, like commercials, but fans only buys a song if they want it or want to support an artist…)  Buying (“I spent a $1.29”) is the true test of a songs market buoyancy, not whether they just like they song.  Let’s be real, if your potential buyer won’t spend $1.29 on your music, then that means you have some work to do.  Get to work.  Now here’s the lie “we’ll fake the sales numbers to trick fans into believing it’s a hit…”  I won’t even go into how dumb that is.  Who expects to get paid off of fake fans with fake money that fake that they are buying (you see the silliness here...) and later wonder why they are on behind the music (“they didn’t pay me…” #smh )

The reason James Brown became such a success is because his ticket prices were always affordable (for his time and James Brown himself made promoters keep the tickets affordable or he wouldn’t perform #GoodBusiness ) and that allowed him way more exposure so that fans could decide for themselves the magic of James Brown and his music.  It worked then and it will work for you today.   One thing about the truth, you know the accounting will be right…  The shortcut to fame is usually expensive if it’s built on a lie.  Remember there’s nothing wrong with the record business that a good record and great performance can’t cure…”

This is the new music from The BeatMakanixxx THATS ALRIGHT (never trust a dj that doesn't dance...).  When I first started playing around with this djsinglemix, I felt that there had to be a way for dj's to express themselves in a single format.  This new cut definately does this for me.  Check it out and remember

On this mix we feature hot new music for the month of July 08. We start out with Drake IN MY FEELINGS and then we spotlight the new Maroon 5 GIRLS LIKE YOU, The new YG TASTE (hot dj cut,,,) the new Juice Wrld LUCID DREAMS ( this cut sounded surprisingly hot in the mix...), we have the new Ciara LEVEL UP (hmm who is she talkig to I wonder...) we have the new Childish Gambino SUMMERTIME MAGIC and we have a great mix of the Janelle Monae classic SINCERLY JANE (one of my all time favorite cuts. We spotlight new artist Kiara Nicole and her dance single ALL THAT MATTERS and we wind it up with a new cut from Kilo Ali (BeatMakanixxx mix) LATE NIGHT HOT SPOT. Enjoy the mix

After seeing this young lady perform at Timeless Tuesday Atl, it just confirmed what I always believed that, Kiara is special.  This doll sized package with this mature voice and presence that captivated the audience of Timeless Tuesday (an artist showcase at Soul Village at on Lil 5 Points…) with a masterful performance that held the audience in suspense.  Although it was her first performance it was clear that the stage and Kiara were comfortable companions (to be continued…)

We decided to do a dance mix to Kiara Nicole  ALL THAT MATTERS (#ForTheDjNU) so enjoy this new djsinglemix by Dj Reggie Redd (TheBeatMakanixxx).  “There nothing wrong with the record business that a good record can’t cure…”

Des Monroe is magical (this is one of those I saw the live performance and said wow...)  This humble young lady with this powerful voice may just be hiphop's next big thing.  She caught my attention at a showcase ( #TimelessTuesdays at #SoulVillage in #Lil5Pts ,  great showcase on Tuesday at this location so get out to it...) and I then found her music to be on point and I had to give her a dance mix (hit the link above...)  Check out Des Monroe #ItsDestiny
