Gyant's Honorable Mention: Warner Music Group "Special Ops Of Atlanta," Setting The Standard On How To Treat Bloggers!
Posted on September 29, 2008 1:28 PM
There aren't many times when I have something positive to say about a record label. I mean hell, most of them still refuse to accept and embrace the power of the internet. And for the few that do, they seem to have a pretty warped idea of what "new media" is. However, Atlanta's Special Ops division to the larger Warner Music Group understands and appreciates the bloggers of the world. They appreciate us so much that they even threw a party for all the top bloggers who are doing their thing this past Friday.
Randy Roper [writersblockmedia.net, Maurice Garland [Therezidue.com], Michelle[Straightfromthea.com], Necole Bitchie[necolebitche.com], Miesha White [socialaddition.blogspot.com], Blogxilla[Blogxilla.com], Tawana[tawanatales.com, myself, and a few other new media blog sites all came out.
Personally, I've been one of the biggest spokesmen for new media. One of the biggest reason's why artists are failing left, and right [outside of putting out crappy music] is their failure to acknowledge and respect bloggers. Most of them are SOHH turned off by us, and therefore ruin their chances off capitalizing off of our readers and followers.
Y'all know me. I can one day big an artist or entertainer up for doing something dope, and then in the same blog blast them for doing something stupid. But, hey, at least I'm blogging about you.
As we stand on the verge of a new music industry, it's important for you labels to seriously understand the importance of what bloggers can do for you.
And luckily enough for them - Warner Music Group understands and embraces the new media movement.
Words can't express how pleased I am that someone stepped up and showed all of us luv. Because no matter what you think about bloggers; please know that this isn't a game.
This is hard muthaf*ckin work! And that's real!!
One of my sayings that I use often is: Record labels don't start trends, they simply follow them. Well today, Yancey and Moses for damn sure started one. And that's why they get the Honorable Mention this week!
Talk to y'all lata,
