Raz B & Ricky Romance Discuss Chris Brown Twitter Feud

rob — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 09:44:53 +0000

Raz B explained to Hollywood.tv that his mother was physically abused by his father, who’s now apparently in jail serving 25 to life, and believes that violence and abuse, whether physical or verbal, are unacceptable for everyone, including himself. “Things got a little out of hand, and I forgive Chris and hope everyone forgives me,” the former B2K member said. “Most important thing it’s not about them, it’s about the kids. That’s why I’m here today.”

Ricky Romance added, “I ain’t got nothing against Chris Brown. I think he went too far though as far as what he said to my brother. To joke around about somebody who has been molested or disrespect kids or women around the world for that fact. That’s unacceptable.”

The Twitter account of superstar rapper Lil Wayne was hacked on Sunday (January 16), as some unkonwn individual was able to gain access to the page and began insulting several rappers via the social networking site.

Once the person gained access, they changed the rapper’s Twitter name of “@liltunechi” to “@LilChineTu” and the mean-spirited tweets began, beginning with 50 Cent insults, but very quickly moving to Soulja Boy. “I sent a donations to your paypal,” the imposter tweeted. “Check it, I heard you got 13,000 sales lil homie, i feel bad for you! #DamnSoulja”

It became obvious that it wasn’t the real Lil Wayne once the person started disrespecting the Cash Money star himself. “The real reason I made 6’7 is cuz that’s how tall the ni**a in rikers was that raped me,” the individual tweeted. “I went an entire year with kissing baby #withdrawls.”

Since then, the unknown person has continuously sent out the insulting tweets.

“@thegame you still owe me money for that My Life joint, how your family crip but you blood,” was sent to The Game.

Fat Joe: “@JOEYCRACKTS you fat ass n***a it on when i see you Why”

AllHipHop’s Greg Watkins: “@grouchygreg asked me for a reach around over the amillie beat…”

Cam’ron: “@KillaCham can hack @KanyeWest, how come”

Drake: “@drakkardnoircan’t hack @LilTunechi?? And @tyga mom still in the hood? wtf my n***a”

Why Talking About Lunch On Twitter Is Good For Your Career

rob — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 12:00:02 +0000

Everyone knows that even in the entertainment industry, a career minded professional should clear her web profile of all fun and foolery, and focus on broadcasting her personal brand to all of her online followers, right?

This warning is the first piece of advice about social media you’ll read in 21st century career books. And it’s dead wrong. My own life and career proves it.

They tell you not to talk about your lunch on Twitter or post cat photos on Facebook. They tell you that as soon as you leave college you must scrub your web footprint clean of all personality, or else you’ll be seen as unprofessional.

In a world where large companies and celebrities flock to Twitter to showcase a fake human side, they tell you, an actual human to box your unique voice and adopt a corporate communications strategy when connecting online.

That cynical advice ignores the most powerful aspect of social media for individuals – by being authentic you can win friends around the world.

If you care about your career, here’s a quote you should tat on your arm:

“All things being equal, people will work with people they like. All things not being equal, they still will”.

That principle is why I have my current job today.

OH, I THINK THEY LIKE ME

When BET offered me the position of Online Producer for 106 & Park I thought the gig would be exciting, but I hesitated leaving my cool job at About.com. I counter offered, asking for a tax bracket above my current salary, and made the jump when BET came close to the price.

My job qualifications didn’t matter as much as the strong recommendation I received from BET.com’s Executive Music Editor, Kim Osorio. She told the hiring manager that I would be perfect for the job, and I was on the fast track from there.

But how did that referral happen? I’d never met Kim O in person. We never worked together. We never partied together. We didn’t have mutual close friends.

As a fan, I knew Kim as the former E.I.C. of The Source. And she knew me from my blog. That’s why she liked me and my work.

At its peak, my blog attracted attention from music industry professionals because of the insidery topics I chose. And since I put my personality on full display in the blog, people went from following my words, to following my life.

Even today I still meet readers who talk to me like we’re best friends even though its our first conversation. (If you ever experience this, it’s a little more jarring than flattering).

BETTER THAN BETTER

I’m not always better than the candidates I go up against when job searching, but if someone on staff is a fan of my work online, I have a huge boost above anyone else.

Sometimes job interviewers are more fascinated with my side projects than my work history. And the ones who don’t know me are treated to pages of search results, showing off almost a decade of my scribblings, when they Google my name. By the time they’re finished fishing for dirt on me, they feel like they know me, they feel like they trust me, and because of that, they like me.

So yes, let your personality bloom on LinkedIn. And sure, show your face on Tumblr. Be the easiest person to like in every social media circle you run around, and your career will grow, no matter what the experts say.

Haven’t you heard?

After a 3 year, Hova-style retirement, I brought back this blog for a week (or two). My agenda? To let you know how this this site and my other projects broke me into the entertainment industry and kept me there, paying a hefty amount of New York taxes each year.

If you work in the same business, come over to the my new spot, Career Green Light. I’m showing people how to do networking with being annoying, and how to do career development without having a ten point plan.

Thanks for being down. And see you there.
