Really Really Good: The Rough Diamond Life!
Published February 15, 2008
The signal got really strong at the bottom of the stairs by the door. Before I could even try to connect any further, the door people were on me. They told me I had to clear the stairs and could not do the show there, as if that were even an option. So I stomped back upstairs, put the laptop away and enjoyed the show. Bataka Squad, Rah P, Da Negus, and Leggezin Fin tore the club down and showed the packed audience of Hip-Hop heads, with close to three hours of international rap.
I am very upset that the show didn't happen, but all is not lost as I will have all of the acts on The Cyber Mix Tape Show very soon. I say very soon, as we are going through some severe tech issues and such on our end. So we would like to focus your attention on some of our past shows instead, while we prepare some amazing segments for the near future.

The Word On The Street
The early days of 2008 are off to a bang with tons of product hitting the street, giving music fans a full dose of goodness! My personal in-boxes are crammed and I am diggin' through all the memos and press releases, trying to catch up.
I forgot to tell you all about my date with JhaVoice, as we went to see "Fool's Gold." I love the perk journalists and bloggers have, getting to see movies and concerts for free! Since some of the work bloggers do is Pro bono, getting back stage passes to Jay-Z is a huge benefit, much better than some jacked up medical plan I'd never actually use. The early showing of Fool's Gold was such a prize for me, and Ms. Voice seemed to enjoy it as well. I will speak more on the movie soon.
I'm still diggin' through the new book, If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer. I have to be honest, I had to put it down after a while. It is an interesting book, but in a weird way. Since it is reported to be in the words of OJ Simpson, it is a chilling re-telling of the famous murder case. I have picked it back up and will have more details for you soon, but for now I suggest you take a look at it. It might be the topic of one of the upcoming Cyber Mix Tape Shows as well, so stay tuned for that.

I was up pretty late, refreshing that page, hoping to hear the show, but I figured you must have run into some sort of trouble like that. Thanks for the update!






It Great Mr. Cue
Thanks for updating all of us.
