Rappers Stop Spamming!!!
A few years ago I hated leaving Hip-Hop shows because every rapper would be by the door handing out their latest mixtape. Nowadays everything has gone digital and my mailbox can’t escape being filled everyone’s latest single or mixtape. So I’ve decided to give rappers a bit of a guide on how to not on everyone’s shit list.
Now let’s get one thing clear, if you “work” in music (or are trying to get into the industry) you are going to be getting email from everyone and if you’re not, then you’re probably not very important. It’s annoying, I know but artists need to find ways of getting their music heard and emailing is one of the simplest ways to do that today. If you don’t like it, hit spam on any unwanted emails. It’s your right!
But artists need to learn how to send an effective email. It’s really not that difficult.
1) Learn to BCC: Seriously, quickest way to end up in someone’s SPAM folder or getting cussed out is not putting emails in the BCC box. For those of you who don’t know what BCC does, it’s simple, it hides the email addresses of the people you are sending your music to. Why do this? Because people don’t want their email out there for everyone to see and they don’t want 30 replies on the same email of people cussing you out. Plus, say you do have some important people on your list, do you want every bum to have that address? Do you want other rappers to have your mom’s email address? Then learn to BCC.

F*ck Amazon…Borders in Downtown To Close
I hear Amazon mistreats books.
I’m just joking. I’m a huge fan of Amazon or any place that lets me buy books at a cheap price but they are to book stores what Napster was to the music industry a decade ago. Borders seems the hardest hit while Barnes & Nobles tries to modernize itself a bit more. I just got word that the Borders in Downtown Boston is closing (sales start July 1st).
Let’s see, Crystal’s, the Hat joint, Manhatten’s, Hip-Zepi, Barnes & Nobles, Filene’s and now Borders are going to be gone. Pretty sure that is just about every store I stepped foot in Downtown the past decade.
I’m all for cheap books but with all these book stores closing down they are really destroying my method of killing time while in the city.
