thanks for the info bout URB 50/50 quote is very positive to me and gives hope -
> There are a lot of people who want to sit around, smoke dope, not return > phone calls and not work in the studio who think race is the reason they are > not blowing up. I do not care what color your skin is, your work ethic > determines where you end up. Hawtin sells more records than me for a reason, > he workers harder and smarter than I do. - this again is also supporting old stereotypes - did you realize that ? my experience is this: any deals, interviews etc.. with Detroit artists I was involved in were transacted on a professional level and including high quality results - I can imagine some artists are not like this, as many artists are anywhere but better think of the big amount of serious hard working Detroit artists Richie is one of them - one of many and beside that - what do you think about... when the Burden Brothers did put money into submerge for supporting it ? when Mike Banks just built up the new submerge-house with others ? when three chairs tour is supporting various artists, not only single egos ? when some artists don´t join the DEMF to stay loyal to Carl ? when SOS is putting power into suporting Techno on Detroit-radio ? ... all this is about work ! and sharing powers - basics for the community the philosphy: "Richie is the far most ... " is only showing how some expectations of a "normal hierarchic" mind - using some "popularity" constructions of "Pop-Media" to proove the vision of the superior man you decide --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
