The Voice Of Freestyle

Filed under: Latif Mercado — Latif Mercado @ 07:36 pm

I read a great article about blogging in one of my subscribed business magazines and was right away drawn to it’s potential. I went on line, ordered a couple of books on blogging then checked out a bunch of blogsites.  I was impressed by it’s complicated simplicity… Those who blog regulary know exactly what I am talking about. When myspace first hit the scene, I thought is was an amazing idea and actually had an idea similiar many years back, but couldn’t find a program aside from a typical messageboard that would allow itself to grown pretty much unsupervised. I noticed the blog feature on myspace and thought it was great, even though I myself never used it, I read a handful of blogs and enjoyed them alot. But the problem that I saw with myspace, was that it was quickly becoming a fabricated advertising medium. As a booking agent, I tried contacting many long lost acts through myspace, just to find out that their page was being operated by a fan.  A few had the decency to tell me, a few I had to find out for myself that they weren’t authentic.  I specialize in Freestyle, and thought that it would be great to build a blogsite that targets the Freestyle market, a place where artist can vent and fans can absorb. I immediately called my Cyber Executive WebMaster Dave and told him that I wanted to build a blogsite, he said “A what”?  I explained it to him, and eventhough I still don’t think he is a hundred percent clear as to what a blogsite actually does, he built me one, and today I decided to put down the first post. Thanks WMDave! I will be on here as much as I can, and in time, everyone will know exactly what it is I do, how I do it, and the big question… Why? Why Freestyle?  Until next time… Freestyle 4 Life Baby!

  1. hey latif,
    I think that’s pretty koo that your honoring the freestyle artists with awards. freestyle music is magic and what a better way than to award the ones that make it last forever. it would be nice if you could have it in cities so more people can go like take it to california and what not. that would make it “magical”!
    one love,
