"SCENT OF SUCCESS" Mixtape info

  C. Versy, Dipset West Street Exec and Dipset West Fragrances Vice President checking. The new debut cologne is here. 

 Presidential is the debut fragrance by Dipset West. It's scent blends mandarin, bergamot, vanilla, orange blossom and suede which makes this the perfect cologne for a man in control. This fragrance delivers a unique, masculine and strong personality. 


The mixtape is called "SCENT OF SUCCESS"  because simply if success had a smell, it would smell like Presidential


  Artist get 1 track on the mixtape buy purchasing a bottle of cologne. Bottles are $50 each (100ml). Songs can't be longer than 3 minutes and 30 seconds. The mixtape will be available for free download online. If you would like to shoot a BET/MTV quality music video we can shoot that too. Music videos start at $60 an hour. I shot 2 music videos in 2 hours. If you are too far to pick up a bottle from me personally, I do take online orders (plus shipping & handling). If you want cd's of your own, I will be taking wholesale orders. I'm down to hit the streets and do street promo with the artist featured on the mixtape. Promo materials such as shirts, posters, stickers, etc will also be available through me. Let's make this more than just you paying for a slot on a dj's mixtape that most people won't listen to. Don't be duped by the fake. Make a move that will actually help your career. 


You can check out the catalog of mixtapes I've been apart of at www.dipsetwest.blogspot.com. You can email me at dipsetwestpromo@gmail.com for more details or for any questions.

A small peek at the BS I deal with on the daily.

This all started with a email I got from his person promising placement on a digital def jam mixtape if I gave them $100. Apparently the %60 proceeds are suppose to be split between me and every other artist on the mixtape.

#1. Its like 20 something artist on a mixtape trynna split %60...the fuck I look like paying you $100 to make pennies?

#2. The artist aren't screened. So any artist with $100 can get on the mixtape. I could be at the end of a 20 song wack artist compilation.

#3. I do these same type of deals for E1 so why would I pay you for something I already got? Just so you can put the def jam logo on the same shit? The days of buying something just cuz it says "def jam" are over. Word to Lil Ru lmao (the def jam artist who sold no more than 1,700 copies his 1st week a year or so ago).

Anyway. Here is the convo we had via gtalk after I asked him in an email "How do I verify this is real? Have you put out any projects like this already?". And yes, he started the conversation off with "lol".

Contro Versy: It was a business question. I get these emails all day from "E1" and "Sony" and "Universal" and ask them all the same thing and they end up being scams. Not say yours is but protocol is protocol. Why are you laughing? Because I asked for proof before I just send out money? I'm not Ice or Stone. I'm the business man. You provided me with a bunch of social networking and blogs turned into sites. Can you provide anything showing a def jam release project like what your talking about in the email and not a just mixtape

Contro Versy: *deep sigh* this is how you handle business? Because I asked for proof? And for your info, I've been around since the day after the press release announcing Dipset West. All you had to do was answer the question instead of acting immature and butt hurt. The reason I'm the one on this gtalk and email is because I handle things like this. I'm sure Iceman and the rest will agree when I forward this to them that we aren't missing anything here. Peace and learn how to come correct at the business man. You'll get further that way. Have pumping that weak excuse for "oppurtinity" and hope you find enough dumb rappers. A year from now let's see whose where

10:54am
Its raining and I have a lot to do today.

11:00am
Crazy homeless man ran up on me at the post office. AWKWARD

2:29pm
Just left a meeting. Found a non profit that delivers food to people who are too sick too leave. I'm anxious to help out cuz I wanted to start the same thing in the hood. Time for a food stop. Haven't eat today yet

Mogul In The Makingl: Entry 2

10:00pm Friday November 19th
Had 3 artist cancel in the last hour for tomorrow's show in Hollywood opening up for Dipset West's Young Hu$tle, Blu Division's Stage and Brick Squad's YG Hootie all label's I'm affiliated with in some way. I make opening acts sale tickets to secure their spot and pay for things like headliners, dj, club, security, etc. When artist pull out last minute it puts me in jeopardy of not being able to pay some one.

11:00pm
Was suppose to head to the studio but I'm too stressed out. My mom isn't helping either with all the shit she's talking. My phone is going to be cut off in a hour so its best to stay in. Started raining too. A reflection of how I feel.

8:33am Saturday November 20th
Leaving moms late. Set my alarm for 6:30 and keep hitting snooze. Very unlike me but I'm in a bad mood. I was doing the math in my head and blackberry all night and I might still be able to pull this show off. I probably won't make any money but everyone else will get paid. If I didn't have headliners flying back to LA for this show then I wouldve cancelled it but its more important for my reputation that a good show goes down and I'm broke then a cancelled show at the last minute. I'm realizing I got too greedy with the ticket prices and made the show a hard sell for the artist

1:02pm
Headed to Echo Park/Silverlake. Checked in with all the artist that are still coming tonight except one who actually has 2 slots for their artist on Towne Records. Them not showing up will fuck everything up for me. I'm honestly hoping a headliner cancels so I can erase that amount off my list for the night (lol'n but DEAD ASS). I'm glad the majority headliners is my niggas and not just cats I paid to come down.

1:07pm
Been so busy I keep forgetting my son's birthday is in 9 days. Gotta walk away from this show with gift money or else. "If I aint got it, somebody getting it"...if you know me then you know how I get down. That line was deeper than rap.

1:16pm
On the bus. My cell is disconnected but the bus has wifi so I can still check my twitter which is great cuz the artist I didn't hear from hit me back on the DM. They are still coming through. Yay! Fuck tho, I was sitting thinking of how to pitch wifi service on the buses to MTA and they got it already it seems. I see the mexicans out here in Mac Arthur park getting they grind on. I need to pitch them some LV/Coach/Chanel knockoffs

4:46pm
Walking down sunset. High as fuck. Been going back and forth with the tattoo artist in whether she can make it to hollywood tonight. I feel not as bad about tonight. The weed and shots are helping. Had to go borrow my older nephew's jordans. Not that I needed them but I'm already out the house and they go with the outfit I have on. Can't show up to my event looking off. Walked passed 5 or 6 film studios and its pretty inspiring. Gotta get back on my movie shit. Catching the bus to a show that everyone else is driving to is not popping.

5:21pm
At the venue. Its tiny but its dope. No stage but cordless mics. More of a MTV Unplugged feel.

5:52pm
Just had to be quick on my feet to solve a sound problem with the mics. Couldve changed the whole dynapic of tonight

6:30pm
Another artist just cancelled. Stomach is starting hurt. Back to feeling worse about tonight.

7:39pm
Going through the motions. Haven't heard from one of the headliners but that's a good thing financially. His last twit post says he's in Kentucky

9:30pm
Putting the 1st artist on soon for a show that was suppose to start at 5 and end at 10. Found out YG Hootie is really in Kentucky and not coming

10:50pm
Show was pushed back and then cut short. No money in my pocket but some good connects and money moves made. Gotta run down the street to a family birthday dinner

12:30am
Just walking in the house

Mogul In The Making: Entry 1

6:56pm
I'm some what high. Walking down Hollywood blvd. Just dropped tickets off to a artist out here. About to hop on the red line and head to pasadena to see Sean Price at The Terrace. Going to scout artist and talking to Sean Price people about getting Dipset West, Blu Division or Brick Squad to open up on their next tour. I'm listening to J. Cole's "Friday Night Lights" mixtape on my blackberry.

7:25pm
On the red line. Listening to Los "Shooter" mixtape. I try to give every mixtape atleast one listen so that I'm up on every artist. Been on this train too long alone with my thoughts. Just seen a man who looks like my dad and its fucking with me. He just died a couple months ago. Gotta shake it off. Need to charge my blackberry. My phone stay dying. Can't let that happen tonight. I got the charger in the hoodie pouch.

8:33pm
The promoter is making up they own prices at the door. I'll never come to one of their events again.

9:32pm
I'm one salmon hand roll and half a bud beer in. I just realized the 2nd time around that I still hate sushi. Show is getting better. Sitting in the middle of the venue with my phone on the charger. I'm pretty bored. Artist are good tho.

12:00am
On the street in front of the venue watching a cypher, waiting on alchemist and sean price to pop out.

12:38am
On the train headed back to la. Spoke with Sean P and Alchemist real quick. Got they contact info so I can do shows with em and get them in the studio. Got contact info on 6 artist I saw perform tonight so I can use them for my shows in the future. Dumb tired. Won't see the bed for a minute lol. Need to spot a taco truck asap...and I'm DEAD ASS about that.

1:35am
Solo on sunset and alvarado. Getting tacos. Got to jump on the computer and send some important emails and see what's up with the new dipset west logo and Iceman's final mix of his "Sex, Money, Murder" EP.

2:00am
ESPN flow and multi tasking computer antics. Catching the sports highlights, laptop actually in my lap. Bong at my feet with White Widow in it.

5:36am
Wake up after nodding off. Planned on going home around 3 but fell asleep. Throw my shoes on and fall asleep for what was planned to be at 5 minute nap turned into a hour nap

6:36am
In the streets. Son doesn't have to be at school til 7:20ish but I'm already running late.

It's hard for a pimp...but extra hard for these hoes


The title is a line from Common's song "Drivin' me wild" ft. Lily Allen. It's a line I believe in. We give all this credit to pimps and feel bad for hoes because they doing all the work and taking the risk. I feel like I'm getting off subject lol. Anyway, I heard about Kat Stacks beginning of this year I think. Pretty sure it was through Mediatakeout.com then twitter then a site that she had set up.

If you don't know who Kat Stacks is then you need to google her. Here is a bio I found that she wrote:

"Who is Kat Stacks ? “Kat” was a code name given by my Baby’s father at age 15 after I ran away from my home in Miami, FL & went to live in Brooklyn, New York. I was originally born in Caracas, Venezuela given the birth name “Andrea” , I attended Alternative school during my child hood & was always a problem child. I have been in a mental hospital for trying to commit suicide, I have been in jail, I was always a hustlers girlfriend, I have been mentally & physically abused by those who I thought I could love & trust, but after all I’ve been through I am still standing here with my head up stronger than ever"

Here is something else I found

"Kat Stacks is a super groupie who documents her celeb (mostly rap star) encounters on her blog KatStacks.com (site NSWF). She writes about the mostly intimate details of her mostly sexual incidents, and also posts stories from other women claiming to have bedded celebs and also posts provocative pictures of herself.

Kat Stacks (katstacks.com)
Stacks claimed she slept with Little Wayne after he paid her $1,200, according to allhiphop.com. She also says she "screwed the whole Young Money click" on a video she posted on MySpace, and has quite a few things to say about the group of rappers
"

If there is a popping rapper in one of the major cities then she's probably slept with them. Afterwards she'll make a video blog about it an give the rappers cell number out at the end as proof of the dirty deed. Aaron Carter (I know, right lol), Lil Wayne, The whole Young Money (damn yo), Bow Wow (lmfao @ him having a purple egg shaped vibrator *PAUSE*), Jay Rock, X.O. from Black Wall Street, Soulja Boy, T-Pain and the list goes on *based on reports, I wasn't there*. There are more famous people we don't know about because she won't put the celebs who are nice to her on blast.

So on the surface you just see a groupie fucking rappers and putting them on blast. But when you pull back layers. You see some one whose experienced a part of life most of us will never know. I can't front, I used to talk ALOT of shit about her but when you see the interviews and how she describes what she's been through, you can see why she'd be scorned. I see alot of the "Black Girl Lost" similarities (side note: great book). You see the "bottom bitch" tatts, suicide scars, videos (scroll down) of her being hit and chased in public. The fact that she's still able to walk around doing what she does says alot about her character cuz people have died for less. But at the end of the day, this might all just be a character. She's still a mom, has her own place and makes money which alot of her haters can't say they doing. How many of your ratchet's have had your kids taken? How many broke niggas wanna hit that right now to this day? LMAO. We really only see what she shows us and the occasional drunk snap shots some1 post online. Shit, I posted a pic of her in the crenshaw mall lol. I'm not a Kat Stacks supporter or hater. I'm waiting to see how it all plays out.

I always wonder why rappers know all that she's done and yet they still get caught up. I guess cuz for alot of the artist out now, they were too young when Superhead was popping. For some I guess you just want to know why the last nigga did it. It doesn't help that she releasing videos shaking her ass and showing you the pussy "boss" niggas have thrown they face in. To be a rapper these days you have to have a chain, luxury car, big house and have slept with Kat Stacks lmao. Funny how almost true that sentence is. Say what you want about her but she is everywhere. She was mentioned at the BET Hip Hop awards more than rappers. She's in all the hip hop mags, blogs, gossip sites, etc. She host clubs and packs that shit out. For the life of me I don't know why tho lmao. Why pay to come to a club to look at some one have more fun than you?

I don't know what it would take to change that girl around and I'm not saying its my job to try. Especially with what she said about Jim Jones and me being apart of Dipset West, I don't need those problems lol. My job is to make sure my daughters don't grow up to be her. On some level that's what she's doing, preventing girls from growing up to be her. I heard a story of a lil girl, like 12-14 or something like that, who heard Kat's story and end up quitting the game and leaving her pimp. So there is a message there under all the bangs, new tits and ass lol













If you a rapper I mentioned and feel some kind of way about it, holla at me. I'm not taking shit down tho.

Peace

Just another night in the studio

So last night I head to the studio after class to meet up with Dipset West artist Rulah Rah. I get to the door and there is a man walking out. I'm thinking to myself "hey, that guy looks like Duke Da God". If you don't know who that is then google him. He"s the A&R for Dipset and just a all around power man on how to get money in this industry. So I brush it off as some one that looks like him and walk in Rulah's studio. When I walk in its a few people there already. I shake hands with everyone and stop at one cat and think to myself "hey, that guy looks like Araabmuzik". If you don't know who that is then damn google him too. He's under Duke Da God productions and produced "Salute" the 1st song of the Dipset reunion. I brush that shit off too. Then he gets up, walks out and returns with a white mpc 2500 and I go "oh shit it is Araabmuzik...so that must've been Duke Da God who walked past me". Then I see Araab's diplomats tatt and that confirms everything just as he turns on the mpc.

Man, that brotha does magic on the mpc. He played some fire ass beats and "salute" but not just like a mp3. He played the beat by hand! Had the walls shaking and niggas going nuts. I can honestly say there wasn't one wack song played. He dipped out to play some beats for Ron Artest and I went home. Just another night in the studio.

Back on my blog shit

I feel better already just typing the title. I've missed this shit. I'm back in the blackberry game! Aww-ready *bun b voice*. So be expecting a blog as often as I have a thought and time.

So much has happened this year. Lost my sister right before summer and my dad died aug 28th. Too people I never got to say my good bye to and resolve our personal issues. Its killing me because death is so final and you will never get the chance to fix things again.

Dipset West keeps me so busy. I'm out here shaking hands, kissing babies and pushing mixtapes. The new music never stops.

I'm back on my rap shit. My 1st show in about a yea was sept 10th and I did some new shit that's not even recorded yet. It felt good to get back on that stage at The Airliner. Working on some community events, buzz building ideas and just things to take Best Coast Ent further in the game. I've come a long way since 2006 but not far enough.

I've been pretty broke lately. Shows haven't been going well. I stopped to restructure and now I'm setting up new shit like a web series, a recording studio and a barber/beauty salon. My dad dying really pushed me to get money. Seeing how he ended his life has pushed me back on the grind and focused.

I don't know how to feel. I've been drowning the lost feelings in weed smoke. For awhile it was the only way to get through the day without depressing thoughts. Shout out to my mmj doctor recommendation that let's me smoke legally. Maaaan, been super abusing alcohol and trees since April with the ABUSERZ (ABZ)

I'm trynna get back into working out. I know I said I was gonna do the p90x forever ago but I finally got the videos and work out bar. I did a week of a test work out and the difference is clear. I'm gonna start today!

Working on being a better family man but shit with school and biz, its hard to find the time to do more than I am as a boyfriend and father.

Anyway, that's it for now.

1ST DAY OF SCHOOL!



The above photo is me after a long day of classes. I had my 1st day of full classes since I graduate from the Musicians Institute in 2005. It's not something you can just jump back into. I had class from 9am to 4:30pm. I loved every minute of it tho. I'm taking sociology and united states history and I learned alot from the 1st class already. My classes are mostly online and we meet on the weekends. Its just as much work as a regular class tho. Since it's summer school it goes alot faster. I got my classes for the fall too. I don't know what my major will be yet. Something in digital media or business. I went to school for recording engineering before. At this rate, I'll have my AA in one year and my BA the year after that. And that's truly the only reason I'm going. T get this done as quick as possible and get the jobs I'm already qualified for now but can't get because I don't have a diploma or units. I'm starting out as a freshman and I'm 24 with kids. No time to waste. I'm out. I got hw and a paper to write lol. Peace

SEATTLE COP PUNCHES WOMEN IN THE FACE



After watching this video, I don't find any fault in what the cop did. If it was L.A. the second girl would've been pepper sprayed, tasered or shot. He had a choke hold on the first girl that was super loose. There are cops that use unnecessary force and I don't consider this a case of that.

UPDATE: MOVIE 2 & 3

Waddup. Just keeping you up to date on my whole promise to write a movie every 21 days. I'm still on it. Movie #2 is a rewritten version of a short finished last year called "GENTELMAN TO GANGSTER". It was long enough to be a short film but I revamped it to be a feature. More dialouge. More character archs. Of all the things I might direct and star in, this is a MUST! Real important story to tell here.

Movie #3 is untitled but about a rap group and its manager on its 1st tour. Something happens to each person before the 1st show on the tour that will change things forever. That's all I can say without giving too much away.

I'm still on it. It's actually not hard to do if you know how to write essay's. And if you know how to write a beginning, middle, end. And if you have an imagination.

Peace

Thursday, April 29, 2010

UPDATE: MOVIE #1 IS DONE!

Ok so "GENTLEMAN TO GANGSTER" is done. I wrote it by hand in a composition notebook. I finished it over a week ago. Maybe over 2. I'll type it up and add more dialogue when I get a lap top. I won't tell you what it's about but I want to use Stage from Blu Division as the 2nd lead. I will play the 1st as of now. i will probably use the same set of actors for all my movies. Like how Ben Stiller, Will Ferrel and them do. Might as well put my friends on. Right?

Working on another project now. I'm sure I can shoot this dramatic ass movie in 3 days on a tour bus and in a couple hotel rooms. I can't wait to finish and shoot this new shit. It's gonna have a real world/hip hop feel to it. That's all I'll say about that.

Just thought I'd update you real quick. That's it for now. PEACE!

This was a interview shot by Dee Vazquez. She asks everyone the same exact questions in the same order but I just really dig it. Seems more personal and intimate this way and you get that easily instead of trynna picture that mood from reading text from a hip hop magazine or blog.

I've fallen off designing my clothing line MAVERICK. Expect to see a debut design before the end of this month.

The line is for people who are independent thinkers. Who stand alone. Who dare to be different and express themselves threw fashion. As of now, I'm designing the line with Super Fresh clothing owner/designer Lamar Lindsay. I like his line and I feel he gets my ideas enough to bring them to light. I don't want to copy any line out there. This will be different but still very much THE SHIT! I want to go to Trade Tech and study fashion and graphic design. I don't have money to go to FIDM lol.

That's all for now. Peace

A MOVIE EVERY 21 DAYS!


So, I've had this book called "how to write a movie in 21 days". Pretty thin for a book and I read fast. So the plan is to write a film project every 21 days. Some will be shorts, some will be mini joints, some will be full length features. Nothing will be shot this year as of now but I have enough ideas to execute a project every 21 days for the rest of the year. Its just about getting the ideas on paper. I gave up the idea of getting my own office again for now. I just need a workstation in a already up and running office with a rec/break room. I can't write at home as much as I have tried lol. This starts today! I will keep you posted on there progress. I'm working on one now called "Gentleman to Gangster". It will have a album to go with it. The next 4 projects after that are on index cards idea wise but aren't written. 2011 will be spent shooting those projects as much as possible. I feel like I'm in a good space. I'm ready to get my grind on. Keep tabs. Peace
