The bottom line is we are in a Long Tail Market that will require legitmate talent, business savy, regional support and quality decision making skills because the days of the blockbuster mega hit are winding down. The playing field is more level than ever before and I intend to take full advantage of it. Artists (musicians), fim makers and authors can cut out the middle man known as major companies in favor of worldwide distribution via the internet. If you are in it to live JD's life quit because he's got that job covered. The love of the craft and the mastery of it will lead you to the diamonds. But if your music isn't timeless your time is up. The Long Tail market requires music with a long life because the music has to continue to live (sales wise) repeatedly whether the video is on 106th and Park or not. I Love the free classes! I would like to request more JD (he's the most selfless/giving (of real info) of the Bosses), Queen Latifah (most versatile and the only one nominated for an Oscar) and Berry Gordy (he really needs to break down the singles market because I think that would save the game right now).

The music industry sucks right now. I haven't heard or had the inclination to buy an album in a long time. I think a part of the problem is the quality of the artists has declined greatly. By quality I mean the image and the personality of the artists just suck. For example, "Who the fuck is Young Berg?" and why should I want to know? Earlier artists from every region at one point came out and you were genuinely interested in them and the content. Also, they were presented in a great manner. Who knows the answer to the questions, but thanks for presenting it. but JD's right, the music sucks, the DJ sucks, and how black artists are being handled in the media is disturbing. When i watch BET all I see is "blackface". BIG SHOUT TO JD for speaking on this. The music industry sucks right now. I haven’t heard or had the inclination to buy an album in a long time.

This needs to be discussed on BET and our own urban radio stations. This should become a movement. If people started calling the radio stations telling them to stop playing this bullshit they we could get somewhere. Then again maybe we won't have to, because any business man's or woman's common sense would tell them that when sales go down and marketing ain't working, it's time for something new and different. When sales started to go down for the Microsoft Xbox they brought out something better. They also had the common sense to fix the damn mistakes they were driving their consumers away.

I mean, the WORLD is about who you know... it's ONE thing to get put on... it's another thing to make HISTORY. Shit... no one talks about how when JD got on they were getting "sued left and right because JErmaine was sampling everyone's music" (and that's a DIRECT quote from Michael Mauldin himself). Who gives a fuck how he got his foot in the door... thats some hater shit. You see Diddy's younger cousin had a track on here last week. That shit is flaming garbage. Dope track... horrible vocals. SO! I guess it aint all about how you got there... its what you do once u get there. WOW… are people mad that MM used to be an exec?

Its easy to make your first million at 19 when your father is a top executive in da music game... I'm not hating on how he got on, but don't make it seem like you did it by yourself bruh. I'm really interested to see how his comments about the "Death of the DJ" affects his upcoming projects or science experiments!!! We'll probably get a good indication off of Wayne's first week sales do to his comments about mixtape dj's... Dat Carter III has been in every hood in my city since last week, and I'm assuming that's the case in every other city.

Hearing HONESTY from one of the moguls in the music business has to be refreshing to a lot of ears. I know a couple of cats in the hip hop industry personally so I have gotten to see first hand, perception as oppose to reality. The shit kind of reminds me of the WWF or to the younger crowd WWE. I realize its all about image and having yourself perceived in a certain way but at the same time, when these young cats are looking at this, all they see is the END result of years of hard work. The grind is hardly ever brought to the light, especially the business end. Thats why most artists careers end before they ever really start. JD, keep droppin that knowledge and givin insight to the reality of the game cause the shit is so sorely needed. Official First off, great video series JD, just wish it could’ve been a little longer.
