Yall know Micheal and Paul McCartney fell out over the Beatles catalogue. Well, the Times gave up the game this weekend on the entire story. I loved reading every word. Who ever talks about financing ANYTHING in the culture. Its all about buy, consume, get fat.

Mr. Jackson’s pre-expense share of the “Thriller” bounty ? including the album, singles and a popular video ? surpassed $125 million, according to a former adviser who requested anonymity because of the confidential nature of Mr. Jackson’s finances. Below I have posted an excerpt.

Those who counseled him in the “Thriller” era credit the pop star with financial acumen and astute business judgment, evidenced by his $47.5 million purchase of the Beatles catalog in 1985 (a move that served to alienate him from Paul McCartney, the Beatles legend who imparted the financial wisdom of buying catalogs to Mr. Jackson during a casual chat,[ note to self, have more casual chats with yt’s re finance] only to see Mr. Jackson then turn around and buy rights to many of Mr. McCartney’s own songs).

The Dope part about it is that McCartney apparently was the one who TOLD MICHAEL to to invest in that sh*t in the first place.

Ha. They beefin’ over Beatles cash.

Sony was worried because Mr. Jackson was the company’s partner in a lucrative music publishing business that included songs by the Beatles and other musicians. If Mr. Jackson became insolvent, his 50 percent share of that
$1 billion business would be up for grabs to the highest bidder, leaving Sony to confront the uncomfortable possibility that it would be forced into a new, unpredictable partnership not of its own choosing. [ Sony would rather deal with the eccentric artist that they know, as opposed to say, Mark Cuban with hot tempered ass. Could you imagine having an investment so attractive that your partner can bring BANKS to the table to give you LOANS when you are TENS of MILLIONS of dollars in the hole mainly because of interest on your currrent LOANS.

Ceo’s might wanna heed Mr. Aks warning regarding what the future holds if nigg*s don’t get decent health care.

If those at the top of the heap are really so smart, they
should start advocating some orderly increase in redistrbution- at the very least, in the form of national health care coverage. They shoud do this if only to maintain social peace- to prevent the less fortunate, in other words, from losing their heads. Because if that happens, the rich may lose theirs as well.

Yall know I liked to call NYC Millionaire city. Well. This cat lamented, over the weekend, over the changes in The Village.

These days, I hardly recognize the student population, or at least what I hear about it. Every few months there seems to be a tabloid scandal involving someone conspicuously identified as “an N.Y.U. student”: a young woman raised in a New
Jersey mansion arrested on charges of dealing drugs; a student accused of running a $7.4 million hedge-fund scam in Greenwich, Conn. These strike me as the transgressions of young people who act as if they can get away with whatever
they please.

Even in my day, commuting students like me weren’t fashionable. We hadn’t taken part in half a dozen after-school activities by the time we were 12. We hadn’t played lacrosse in high school. But we did, I think, give an often cold and impersonal institution a soul, a grounded identity. The Olsen twins, for all the news media hype surrounding their presence at N.Y.U., do not.

MAYBE it’s just me becoming an old coot. But in my mind, N.Y.U. feels like nothing so much as an enclave of downtown elitism. Its relentless expansion has the air of manifest destiny. The Palladium an N.Y.U. dorm? It still feels like a joke.

Bill Cosby has a new interview out where he discusses pimps, our cousin laquanda and why Black women will NEED to lead until our potential spouses get outta jail. Here are some excerpts below.

“This is not your grandmothers world, and you have to
think about you taking charge in business, family, raising your
home”.

We are many many things, we are the weakest, we are the
strongest, within ourselves.

All women have been brainwashed to be subservient to men. Not just Black women.

Our females are graduating 70 to 30.

I have a problem with the silence of the scholars. It is very problematic that the scholars are not writing articles and publising books about people who are not offering things to our youth.

Also. I found it irresponsible and inconsiderate for CNN to title the clip “People have Gone Crazy”. It is sensationalizes the issue of horribile Black Male to Femal graduation rate. Maybe I will e-mail CNN and let them n*ggas know they wrong for that.

In the spirit of Cosby’s words, Imma post what Mac Jay spoke from his soul about what it means to actually BE PRESENT in class. Take that BILL!!
[From his site Yay Mecca posted on Tuesday, May 02, 2006 titled i never could pass, cut class like scissors.]

Those problems are pretty small compared to all the positives
that come outta being a good student. I know I’m rambling and don’t really have any idea where this post is going, but I’ma let you in on the secret to what’s helped me the most… reading. If you read the textbooks and go to class, this school shit is so simple mayne. On mommas. I already been knowin’ I coulda
pulled these grades in Arizona but I didn’t read shit, I’d look over my books like the night before a test and go in the next day praying that I’d pass. I’d always be hella pissed when my tests came back with a shitty grade, all like “what the fuck happened”? Well, I was an idiot. But I stand there saying “da fuck was I supposed to know that” and thinking the teachers was trying to play me and do the exact same shit next test. When really they wasn’t, read the books and you cool. Now I go to tests prepared, like it’s nuuuthiiin’. De nada, blood.
Sorry for boring you with this shit, jus been pullin’ these grades lately n hella excited mayne. Now on to tha biz….

Latley, the semifinals have exemplified that. Who knows that Lebron will do. I was happy to see that the other players got involved last night. Cleveland won by what one or two Friday night. It is hard to BE PRESENT, if you are not INVOLVED with what the game.

Peep the techinque about HOW POWER is PARLAYED in NEW YORK CITY AMONGST IT’S ELITE.

In the terminology of foreign affairs, influence is soft power?the ability to shift the course of events through ideas or relationships rather than coercion or enticement. Influence is Jacobs, holding no office and possessing no institutional leverage, inciting a bottom-up movement that stopped Moses in his tracks. Now, New York has always been obsessed with power: getting it, wielding it, harnessing it, and, most of all, keeping it.

Power is what Moses employed to historic effect for nearly 40 years. Influence, by contrast, is more subtle, more indirect, more de facto than de jure.

Instead, we look around and see an increasingly Jacobean city?a place where moguls, machers, pooh-bahs, and potentates are seeing their collective mojo rivaled by a newer class: the influentials.

That being taken into consideration, what is HIP HOP [IN NYC] about, if not POWER AND IT’S RESPECTIVE DYNAMICS & BENEFITS

NY Times rape case.

The report applauded Dr. Brodhead’s “personal commitment to address all of the issues” and found no effort to cover up the incident or to deceive anyone. But it found problems with how the investigation, involving a student at nearby North Carolina Central University who had been hired to dance at a party for the lacrosse team, had been handled from the beginning. The two experts said
that although the Duke police knew that the woman, who had been taken to the emergency room of Duke University Hospital, is black and that the players she
said had assaulted her are white, “information about her race and about racial aspects of the case did not reach key administrators” including Dr. Brodhead
until March 24, 10 days after the party.

When those wack lil shark bait biddles were asocial, racist and “liberal” yall came through checking for a sista’, sending kind words, letting me know that you missed the blawg when it died a lil bit in March. Y’all helped me get through the last 8 months. <<<

One exam out the way blog family, few more to go. I finally broke down and asked Bronx Logic for what I needed, support. Dinner cooked. To be told that I was gonna make it. So instead of complaining to everyone else about not getting support, I asked for it (I see you g. gotty).

The best part was an inspirational mix with:
1. The eye of the tiger
2. Can I have it Like that.
3. Meth vs. Chef
4. Can it be (all so simple)
5. Believe in Yourself (from THE WIZ)
Needless to say a beech was choked up.

The artwork is by Portia Wells. I love this serious. It is so subversive.
