I Listen To Better Music Than You (Zack Einhorn)

Introduction/ Audio Section Commenters and 12 Year Old White Girls

Ok so before I get into anything I want to tell yall exactly who I am and why my blog is called I listen to better music than you. (Other than the obvious reason which of course is the fact that in all likelihood, I listen to better music than you…jk….but not really)

Anyway my name is Zack and I run a little company called Dice Music Group. We do management, production and A&R work. My partner in this company and my number one client as a manager is producer J. Cardim. You may have heard J’s beats on tracks by Red Café, AZ, Talib Kweli, Jae Millz, Saigon and of course my man (and another associate of mine) Sha Stimuli. In the near future, you will be hearing his beats on projects from Juelz Santana, Sheek Louch, your favorite rapper and more, but we’ll save the shameless plugs (and there will be plenty of them) for later. Other clients of Dice Music Group are rappers G-Eyez, Sha Stimuli, Certified Gz and Tuge as well as producers Raf Moses (Termanology, Dre Robinson etc) and Simple Simon. I will get into these other clients later. In fact I might have a little section in each blog where I take the time to talk about one of them. Its funny calling these guys my clients because they are really my friends. (Sounds pretty gay right?...well it’s not u homophobe)

Ok so the blog name, I Listen to Better Music than You. First and foremost yall should know that I’m not up here to tell u that everything you hear on the radio is garbage (if you liked the radio, you wouldn’t be reading blogs) and try to put you on to a million different backpack/underground/experimental rappers. (Cause most of that shit is trash too) The reason I gave my blog this title is because it is a sentiment I think everyone can relate to. I mean really, I’d rather listen to my Ipod than yours, that’s why it’s my Ipod. Not to say that I’m not open-minded, I just think most of my opinions also happen to be facts haha. (That was another name I was kicking around “My Opinions are Facts”) If I didn’t think I have good taste in music then I wouldn’t be out here trying to be a manager and an A&R, ya dig? So please save all the hate for the audio section.

…speaking of the audio section, you guys have no shortage of opinions huh? Now I don’t wanna come off like I’m hating on the audio section commenters (losers) but I get the distinct impression that you guys don’t buy records and that’s where I start to get irritated. One of the things I do for my artists and producers is send out email blasts to website audio sections, so naturally I read what you geeks have to say. I noticed that when an artist who has sold millions of records (T.I., Wayne, Jeezy, Jay-Z etc) posts a song it often gets a lousy rating as well as comments that read something like “Fuck this trash, hip hop sucks etc” (that is of course if u get past all the fucking losers that feel the need to post “first” and links to their lame ass myspace pages) while an artist who sells pretty much no records (anyone 9th wonder has done an entire album with) gets a fantastic rating coupled with comments that read something like “FIRE!!!! I love everything MC Internet Buzz does, this is real hip hop!!” That being the case, when asked about internet commenters, most artists and industry insiders will tell you “those nerds don’t count.” And you don’t. Know why? You don’t buy any fucking albums, ringtones, digital downloads, none of that shit and in doing so (or not doing so) you take away any value your lame ass opinion may have had. The problem is, you geeks go write (type) some shit about your “favorite” rappers song, give it a 5 out of 5 talk with your friends about how you wish the major labels would put out more music like that and then go download his album for free off some torrent site. If Little Brother’s new song has an average rating of 5 out 5 with 38 commenters all saying good shit, then why the fuck don’t they sell any records?? If you do not buy music, your opinion does not count to these labels. Why should they care what you think is hot if you’re not a consumer? For shits and giggles though, let’s say instead of being the fuck ups that you guys are, you actually started to go out and buy this music that u praise so much. The labels may start to see potential for a market in losers who spend their day commenting on music on hip hop websites and downloading porn off limewire. You guys act like the labels are purposely trying to put out bad music. Do you really think they give a fuck about what is and isn’t “real hip hop?” Trust me, if Phonte had 900,000 fans who actually buy music, Soulja Boy or whoever would get pushed the fuck back and Phonte would be on TV. If Saigon sells less than 70,000 in his first week I’ll know for sure that you guys really don’t care about the artists you claim to support. Now I know better than to throw blame around and point out a big problem without offering a solution. We need some kind of campaign that will get all of you no-life-having commenters to come together, get behind a project and show some strength, be it Saigon’s album, Joe Budden’s album (since yall seem to love him so much too) or Sha Stimuli’s album. (Cinderella Man, coming soon bitches, plug plug) The thing is, I think there are a ton of you guys and I think your opinion matters. In fact, I think it matters even more than the opinion of the 12 year old white girl, who the labels care wayyy more about than you guys. So next time you guys talk shit in the audio section, before returning to your non-music-buying lives, imagine a 12 year old white girl beating the shit out of you with a CD, a cell phone or an Itunes Store gift certificate. (Your choice)

I’m pretty long-winded so that’s enough for now but I’ll be back bitches and I have more opinions than a hiphopdx audio section commenter so get ready!

-Zack aka your favorite producer’s favorite manager
