Music Update : GZ, Dabooth.com, & More....


Goodfellaz was established in the summer of 2003, while Dave Golombos, Eric Eden, and I decided to make a hip-hop CD with our producer Jerzey Brown.



It was one of the most invigorating experiences in my life. The lyrics we wrote were kind of tactless, but had some catchy punch lines like,
"I treat my girls like beer pong and let the bitches blow"
Around the fall of 2007, I decided to take this a step further & create an audio production studio with my homeboy Andres @dabooth (http://www.dabooth.com). Since then, things have progressed like we could not beleive, but I guess we gotta believe it since its true.

So now here comes the update. I'm working on a new mixtape to drop by the new year. It's gonna be a compilation of styles, but we'll see. I'll keep you updatee!

What people do not get about.... Social Media

Social Media as said by Wikipedia
"Social media is online content created by people using highly accessible and scalable publishing technologies. Social media is a shift in how people discover, read and share news, information and content;. It's a fusion of sociology and technology, transforming monologues (one to many) into dialogues (many to many) and is the democratization of information, transforming people from content readers into publishers. Social media has become extremely popular because it allows people to connect in the online world to form relationships for personal, political and business use. Businesses also refer to social media as user-generated content (UGC) or consumer-generated media (CGM)."

I agree on many levels, however everyone is still looking to monetize everything. Haven't we discovered by now that money is useless and a pure poison to our entire civilization? Companies like google are empowering individuals and groups to collaborate at the same speed as any corporation who's incentive is to dominate the market.

This fusion discussed in the Wiki excerpt fails to recognize the sense of Quantum Mechanics involved. My personal theory, which I will write and share in the future, is the relationships between the internet & Quantum Mechanics.

Furthermore, these conversations are transforming into a real-time dimension of realization. Does this make sense? If not, lets take this Iranian war for instance. The only thing the people have to survive without becoming beasts is their connectivity with the world through social media via the internet. This then creates a dimension for 'now-thought' which has never happened in the past because our communication has always been filtered.

Now, this brings up the conversation of freedom. The internet has enveloped this idea of freedom to be truly expressed. However, we have some guys that think the internet should be governed & unequal.

We need to use this information to create sustainability for mankind. Not just a couple greedy bankers. As presented by a friend John Lee Blackwell.

Please give me your thoughts. Tell me I'm crazy, or what have you. Lets just have a conversation :)
