The Top 100



We pulled the list of the Top 100 vote getters for the LeBron 23-23 contest. We had a call with the 5 judges yesterday (3 from Atlantic Records, 1 from our ad agency, and Paul Wall's manager - T. Farris). They are reviewing the mixes now and are going to have their favorites to me by Saturday.

I'll do the tabulations then get the top 23 over to LeBron, Paul Wall, and Al Fatz to make their decisions on the final 3.

I'll post the Top 100 list later tonight...I gotta go home now...mad tired.

- - - - - - -

On another tip, I've been reading a lot of the comments about getting mixes in late, reviewing everybody, etc. So I thought I'd respond with a few points from our POV.

1. This contest is about hustle - making a hit theme song for LeBron James. I know a lot of people out there with talent but weren't willing to put in the work necessary to promote themselves. Everyone has heard of selling mixtapes out of the trunk of your car. That's what this contest is. If you can't get people to vote for you, you probably can't get a hit song on the radio.


I've got a stack of CDs on my desk from producers, DJs, even mainstream artists looking to cash in - without putting any work in first....not a good look.

For the people that did get out and promote hard, you probably made the top 100.


2. There are legitimately some people that just heard about the promo late...I feel you. It's not always fair, but we have deadlines to get the music put into the TV commercial and ship it to TNT to air during NBA All-Star 2007. For ya'll, we have some other opportunities to get your beats out. Ones that we can't give to the Top 100 for legal reasons. On the low - we've been in negotiations for a TV show with a Entertainment Television network that starts with a "B".


3. Lastly, we can't listen to every submitted track. I'm too busy, Atlantic Records is too busy, LeBron James is wayyyy to busy trying to win a championship.

Like I said, I'll post the Top 100 list later tonight. Till then, enjoy the site. Enter codes to win stuff like ringtones, signed LBJ jerseys, etc...
