If I Ruled the World - Part 1


Rick James had them. Charlie Murphy had them...Rick James even said that Charlie Murphy had them. While I'm at it, Charles Manson had them too. No, I'm not talking about wild sex parties or the occasional dabbling in hard drugs. I'm talking about delusions of grandeur...mostly ones that involve world domination. Hey, let's be real--power is intoxicating, but I'd much rather get high off that than rocks. Every Mogul rules the world in some small sense. Here's a few of my thoughts. Enter the mind of a Mogul.


I would own the Lakers, and Kobe would have Won MVP a long time ago. The haters know it. They just won't show it. Either way, KG, Jesus Shuttlesworth, and Paul Pierce are gettin it in the Finals. It'll be like the 80s all over again, minus Larry Bird running his mouth and the consecutive L's year after year.


Remy Ma would be able to marry Papoose from jail. Hip Hop needs all the help it can get. Good to see a dude stand by his chick. Thug Matrimony sells better than rocks.


Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey would be sent to a deserted island...Just to see if their "love" is real.


Obama F. Baby would be President. What you think I wanna run this country? No thanks. In good corporate fashion, I'll outsource that job to Barack, throw his campaign some stacks, and enjoy the $5,000 a plate benefit dinners.

This would be me.

"50 Cent, the man who made a reported $200 million from his deal with Vitamin Water, is now said to be in negotiations with the Rupert Murdoch founded News Corp for a reported $300 million. According to ThisIs50.com, the deal would go into effect in 2009, in which News Corp would take a large stake in all aspects of the 50 Cent brand.
The deal would help launch the company’s MySpace Records, as 50 and his G-Unit roster would move under the label’s umbrella. Sources say half the deal will be in stock, in which 50 Cent would become one of the largest shareholders of News Corp.
Also under the deal, 50’s online community, ThisIs50.com, would be acquired by News Corp, his touring would be marketed through and sold via the company, and would also include a G-Unit book deal, and music publishing for 50 and the artists under his label.”


I can't stand Fif, but his Pringles must be ridiculous. Props to Bossip for the link.

That's all for now. The fact that I actually wanted to be 50 Cent for a moment just made me throw up in my mouth a little.

UPDATE: Turns out this little shenanigan was false. Good. I can go back to respecting myself, not waging beef with rappers better than me,....and using regular dental floss instead of shoelaces again.

Mogul to Mogul - Jonas Bevacqua

Success depends on so much more than making money. Its about looking fly, feeling great, and then making money.

The LRG/Complex function was of course off the chain! I ran into my boy Dante (aka Rufio from Hook--staple of my childhood) and caught up on some music biz, and had a chance to chop it up with Jonas Bevacqua....COOL DUDE. I can't say how much I admire this guy--a definite class-act Catergory C individual...no matter your caliber of Mogul Steeze, their is always someone who can mentor you and step your game up THAT much more. He is the embodiment of success that I see myself becoming...young, fly, and filthy fuckin rich! But real talk, the movement he created was so positive and inspiring to so many people, and it was evident that night. Here was a young guy like many of us, with a dollar and a dream and he turned it into one of the most influential brands in all of fashion. Having a Mogul to Mogul conversation about setting goals and staying true to them and yourself really put things into perspective--especially when its so tempting to wanna rule the world from your apartment penthouse. Its never about setting out to be a legend...its about utilizing the best of your potential...Being a legend is only sure to follow. If you stay positive and surround yourself with like-minded individuals, success is imminent.

Getting drunk is also pretty imminent when Courvoisier is sponsoring the event.

"If you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, you become something else entirely...a Legend, Mr. Wayne."

-Raz Al Ghul, Batman Begins


Evidently these exclusive iPhone, Blackberry 8800, and iPod LRG x Courvoisier collabo gadgets were being stashed in the gift bags...One of which apparently didn't make it into mine!
