unday, August 15th Miss. ‘Window Seat” graced the stage at the House Blues. The crowd was a

direct re� ection of her - eclectic, energetic & appreciative. Stepping out with a blonde mohawk, mary poppins dress, a Louie Vutton belt & 6-inch paten leather boots, Erykah Badu opened

the show with cuts from her latest album “New Amerkah Part 2” and audience sang

word for word. Unexpected is the expected when it comes to an Badu show and she did not disappoint. Instead of doing all new material, she performed a montage of her past hits with a blend of old school rap classics. After the show, I was blessed to ask her about her transformation as an artist during a private meet & greet and she replied in one solace statement; “I am not afraid”. Ms. Badu is warm, approachable & a “classic” talent. Orlando was fortunate to have her caliber of artistry in our city.

ulture Climax sat down with hip hop’s next superstar, Laws while he was in the Orlando for Leaders of the New Cool hip hop showcase. Representing Central Florida he moved to Spring Hill, near Tampa and has been there ever since. It’s not too often that artists from Central Florida get the attention that he’s getting, and we couldn’t

be happier. Not only does Laws have ridiculous � ow, content and delivery, his personality says it all. He’s humble, friendly and sarcastic he lets it shine through on his most recent mixtapes 4:57 and 5:01 Overtime. The Justice League cosign and industry support helped land him a record deal with Warner Brothers. Our exclusive video interview with Laws is available on CultureClimax.com, where he talks about inspirations, favorite albums, and gives advice to fellow artists. Make sure you log onto CultureClimax.com to peep the video and download his mixtapes! You can also follow him on twitter @lawshiphop.

SneekThePuppetmaster

TELL ORLANDO WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT IT IS YOU DO? (Rubbing his chin) Hmmm..Who am I? I guess

the verdict is still out. I’m still fi guring that out myself and hopefully by the end of the article you all will have an idea of who I am. I started promot-ing and writing out in Memphis and decided to move out here and do my promo thing. When it comes to street promotions, everyone does it, but I try to be different and innovative. The fi rst thing that people don’t realize about street promo is that it is something to be proud of. Many people say that it’s beneath them, but one thing I feel strong about is that if you give you all to something it will always make you successful. Whether I’m doing street promotions or laying down some tracks those are the words that I live by.

ON THE ARTIST TIP, WHO HAVE YOU WORKED WITH IN THE ORLANDO AREA?

(Laughs) Well of course my team “Hustle 4 It Entertainment”…I always stay true to that. I have also worked with producers like the Headliners, and a few other local produc-ers. I’m trying to work with any everyone in an effort to get music from Orlando in the mainstream…at least that’s what we are shooting for.


WITH ALL THE TALENT IN CENTRAL FLORIDA, WHY DO YOU FEEL THAT AN ORLANDO ARTIST HAS NOT BLOWN UP?

In my opinion and my opinion only; People need to smile on their haters & teach them to become innovators. The ones who are closer to being up there need to support the ones that are coming up and unfortunately there is little or no support. The best thing you can do is just love what you do and put your heart and soul into it. If the Lord says that’s the path you need to fol-low, then follow.

WHAT CD’S DID YOU LISTEN TO IN YOUR CAR TODAY?

Well to be completely honest I listen to my own music. I listen to my songs….just to be straight up. I focus on making my craft better and trying to make the best music that I can make. Then I also focus on my street promo-tions because that helps market my music as well. In the end I want to build a brand so I’m branding myself & my team.

FOR ALL THE BEAUTIFUL LADIES OF ORLANDO WHO MIGHT BE READING THIS ARTICLE, IS SNEEK SINGLE?

(While laughing he spits out his drink.) I’m Available & Open for a great discussion…(Laughing) I’m single for the night and maybe tomorrow.

WHAT PROMOTERS HAVE YOU WORKED WITH IN ORLANDO?

Well fi rst of all, shout out to Moses (BigBeatz Ent), TalkofOrlando.com, Tony Khuu & a few oth-ers who will remain nameless…there’s a lot shady promoters in Orlando. But these are the ones that I deal with and they have always been REAL with me since day one.

AS AN ARTIST, WHAT ARTIST ARE YOU INSPIRED BY WHO HAS MADE A TRANSITION TO BUSINESSMAN/ARTIST?

I defi nitely like the move that Jay Z made from artist to full on businessman. I also like the move that little Wayne made with Young Money. He has an entire brand, the perfect combination of promotions & hip hop. You just have to respect power moves that are made in that fashion. It keeps me inspired; they really learned to balance both.

If you think that you are the Talk of Orlando, you can submit your information to [email protected] subject line “I am the Talk of Orlando”

WHAT DO YOU SAY TO PEOPLE SAYING THAT ARTISTS LIKE JAY Z, WHO MADE THAT TRANSITION, ARE REALLY SELL OUTS?

(Laughs) They must be some broke people with no real vision or goals. That’s the only way they can

make themselves feel important.THERE ARE A LOT OF ARTIST WHO COME OUT SOUNDING THE SAME, TALKING ABOUT THE SAME TOPICS. WHAT SEPARATES YOU FROM OTHER ARTISTS?

Well I’m not afraid to walk in my own skin. And sure there are a million people who walk & talk like me but my lyrics and my songs are for everyone who is a go-getter. Whether you get up in the morning and punch a clock, or go outside and hit the block, I have an experience to share with everyone. That’s the mind frame that I’m trying get across. We all have something to share.ARE THERE ANY SHOUT OUTS THAT YOU WANT TO GIVE?

God First…then Lens Photography, Esco & Glins from TalkofOrlando.com, Moses of Big Beatz & of course the Hustle4It family…I love yall!!!

The American Music Festival will be going on throughout the entire weekend with such large national acts as Tony Benett and the Jonas Brothers, and Frontline Promotions have teamed up to promote the urban music concert side. Headlining this concert series on Friday September 3, 2010 is the amazing Usher, and of course our “Promo Kings” over at Frontline will be hosting the offi cial Usher concert after party at The Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach. But the weekend doesn’t stop there. On Saturday September 4, 2010, they are throwing a huge “Beach & Pool Party” at the same location from 3pm-dusk. Frontline keeps it poppin on Saturday night as the offi cial after party to the Bethune Cookman University vs Edward Waters College Classic football game. To make this weekend even more worthy for twirlin is the “Frontline Party Package”, which includes discounted hotel rates at The Plaza Resort & Spa, and admission to all their events they have for that weekend. You can visit www.ticketannex.com for those details. “The name of the weekend says it all”, Frontline tells me, “Its a ‘Destination Weekend’. This is something for the young, fl y, and fl ashy”. Well, we know I am certainly all three, so I certainly will be twirling!all three, so I certainly will be all three, so I certainly will be twirling!twirling!

As the summer races to come to an end, all of Orlando’s promoters

are pulling out the big guns! Everybody wants to have the best party of the summer. With so much going on, it ’s hard for your Starlet to keep track! What I’m beginning to see is some effort in stepping out the box with these parties and events. That’s when you really have Starlets attention and attendance...when you do something a little more creative than throw a couple of rhyming words together and call it a party. Check out where I stepped it out this week!

AFTER WORK RELEASE @ VINTAGE

How many happy hours have come and gone in this city? Take you time counting....I’ll wait. Exactly! Too many to count. Well, the Firm boys have done it again! Seems like everything they promote is a smash! Every Friday starting at 5pm you can catch some fantastic drink specials and an amazing DJ lineup including DJ Freefall and DJ Pointblanc....with free cover! This happy hour is so crazy, you’ll party right through the night! Especially with Grey Goose bottles going for only $60! Be sure to catch me there next week. Hoping they let your Starlet host it one time! LOL

CLASH OF THE BARBERS@ THE DOUBLETREE

Can’t deny, this city is doing way too much

with these hair shows. None of them turn out with great reviews.

However, I was certainly looking

forward to this new spin on hair

shows, with the cutting competitions and all. I was quite surprised,

not to mention impressed, by the setup, with the full stage exposing each barber in action, and the long catwalk for showing o� their work, all the way to the di� erent vendors set up for our shopping pleasure. The host G Money was quite hilarious...at times. Other times, he was on his “G Money” thing, if you know what I mean. Jersey also hosted during the � rst half of the show. There was a fashion show put on by Set It O� Productions, and a couple live performance by a couple local artists including Lil Wop, PI Bang, YoungSlime, and Omeez. Some of Orlando’s favorites in the building include Gar� eld, Disco JR, and Brandi Nikole.

We only have a couple more weeks of summer, and the party scene is heating up! So much going on, I don’t even know what I’m doing this week! LOL. Have any suggestions or perhaps you’re throwing a hot event? Send that info to [email protected]. Until then, you know what to do! LET’S CELEBRATE!

Dear Shannon,

I am working on a pilot for a reality show and wanted to know what is the best way to ensure that it will be entertaining so it will get picked up? Any ideas?

-Reality Driven

Dear Reality:

Besides needing an amazing cast, you must have an equally killer plot for each episode. Research this genre of media by noting why certain shows are more successful then others and then implement those elements into yours. Above all your show MUST be entertaining; whether by drama, celebrity appearances or � nding a niche and interesting area that’s gone underdeveloped in reality shows. Planning and great script writing are very important as well. Network with some industry professionals and pick their brains for added advice. Best of luck!

Be Blessed,Shannon

Preseason football is like the appetizer before the entrée. It’s a temporary satisfaction for what is about to come. I’m enjoying my ap-

petizer but I can’t wait for the real thing. On Thurs-day, September 9th every football fan will get a taste when the New Orleans Saints take on the Minne-sota Vikings in the 2010 NFL season opener. While waiting on the “main course” I was able to see Tim Tebow make his NFL debut. Although the Broncos lost, golden boy Timmy did a good job. If you know Tebow then you know it wouldn’t have been a game if he didn’t run one in the end zone. It’s just too bad that by the time he did the game was over. Despite his good debut the Broncos have still decided to keep Kyle Orton as their starting QB.

While I’m on the topic of running, Chris John-son of the Tennessee Titans has set his goal to run for 2,500 yards this season. Whether Johnson runs 2,500 or 2,001 yards it will make history. No player has ever run for 2,000 yards back to back. I’m not a Titans fan but I am a supporter of our local athletes

so I’m rooting for him.

In addition to watching preseason games I’m also tuning into HBO’s Hard Knocks to satisfy my football hunger. Between Rex Ryan’s trucker mouth, Darelle Re-vis holding out and of course fine men with their shirts off I’m hooked. Seri-

ously though the Jets look and sound like they are ready to prove why they should have been the team playing the Saints in last season’s Superbowl. I’m no hater but I’m only worried about one team making it

to the Superbowl and no offense, it’s not the Jets. I am going to keep my eye on them though because they are a team to watch out for. They have made the necessary adjustments in order to stay relevant in the competition for the best team in the league.

I don’t have a clue who the best will be this season. All I know is that I’m excited that football season has started again. Be-sides I’m sick of seeing baseball in the top ten plays on Sportscenter. I’m ready for Chris Burman and his game recaps, tail-gating parties, and overzealous fans. Speaking of fans, if

you don’t have a favorite team pick one now and stick with them. Don’t be a bandwagon rider.

30 Second TimeoutThis timeout is for Lance Stephenson, a 2nd

round draft pick by the Pacers. Stephenson was ar-rested for second-degree assault. The victim was his girlfriend/baby momma. The girlfriend was treated for neck and head injuries because she was allegedly pushed down the stairs by Stephenson. There are better ways to han-dle things than putting your hands on a female. Shame on you! I know most people aren’t in to therapy but he needs some. Especially con-sidering that he is only 19 and this isn’t his first arrest.

Q: This is your fi rst appearance in the Flyer Promo Now... tell us a little about yourself.

A: Before we get into that... I’m partnering with Frontline Promotions to bring my B-Day Party/

THE VIRGO BASH to Rain Ultra Lounge on September the 2nd (First Thursday)!! I will be introducing two new HOT female Hosts/Socialites to Central Florida’s nightlife scene and giving out Free Shots to Virgos ALL NITE! Cameras will fi lming... it’s gonna be a Movie, Ok!

Now that I got that out of the way... My name is Jermaine Jones but people refer to me as JONES. I’m a Recording Artist/Songwriter and Promoter. I’m from Orlando but I began recording music and performing in Tallahassee. Since I released my fi rst mixtape titled “Keep Up With The Jones” in 2006, I have performed on MTV (My Super Sweet 16), starred in an award winning independant movie titled “Underground Presi-dent”, done shows from ATL to MIA and much more!

Q: To be a new face on the scene in your home-town you have accomplished quite a bit. What

has proven to be your biggest inspiration?

A: My inspiration changed as I progressed in my experience. In the beginning it was the rush

of the ‘battle’ and the attention I got from ripping my hottest verse in front of a crowd of my peers. I fell in love with Rap in the cafeteria at Dr. Phillips highschool. I used to have the lunch room go-ing crazy! After I began performing, it was the reaction I got from the crowd and the power to touch people in a special way. Once I started getting paid it was my daughter, my security and a lifestyle.

Q: You seem like a pretty

focused and driven per-son. What are goals for yourself in the entertainment industry?

A: I want to be a successful

Entertainer, Business- man, and Liason to bridge the gap between the ‘Gifted Unknown Artist’ and the rest of the world! The fi rst to accomplish all three from Orlando...

Q: Sounds you have some pretty big shoes to fi ll... Are you currently affi liated with any groups or

labels?

A: Well, I have my own company called U.F.O. Entertainment. It stands for United For Orlando.

I feel like the reason we (Orlando) dont have a serious National Movement is because we lack Unity, not Talent! We are a full service Entertainment Company specializing in Marketing, Promoting and Branding for Special Events, Performing Artists, Businesses and whoever else might need our services. My business partners are Mike “Mirra” Williams and Rufus “Deuce” McDonald.

Shout out to my brother Tay Baby as well as One Cash, Rell Skeet, Fresh & G, all my Kings (friends) on Oakridge Road, Strech Ent and Big O Productions...those are my people! That’s who I REALLY mess with...

Q: I think the purpose of your movement makes it very unique and empowering for Orlando. By

the way...who are the 2 female Hosts/Socialites you mentioned earlier.

A: When Sytonnia moved to ATL she left a void in the nightlife scene here and

created opportunity for a new female to step in. Well I bumped into 2 equally beautiful and talented ladies with eletri-fying personalities whom I felt were just

what the city needed... Kay Wright and Miss Smallz. Superbad, superfun, and

superfl y... that describes them both!

Q: It has been a pleasure interviewing you and

I’m really excited to see what you have in store. What

can we expect from JONES in 2010??

A: After the VIRGO BASH on September 2nd (First Thursday) at Rain, I will be releasing a mixtape titled “The Homecoming” this Fall under

my stage name ‘Indiana Jones’, I have a video shoot this Fall for my un-

declared single, a very special ‘Teen Party’ coming soon and many more special events. OK!

Q: This is your fi rst appearance in the Flyer Promo Now... tell us a little about yourself.

A: Before we get into that... I’m partnering with Q: Sounds you have some pretty big shoes to fi ll...

Are you currently affi liated with any groups or Q: Are you currently affi liated with any groups or Q: labels?

CAN YOU BUY ME A DRINK?KEYS TO SECURING A LIQUOR SPONSORSHIPS

You have this fabulous event. It’s the hottest party in your city and you want to link your event with a liquor sponsor. Any liquor company should jump on board and want to be a part of it? Right? Wrong?

Truth of the matter is most liquor companies don’t care so much about your “party” as they do about moving and selling their product to the venue and at your event. At the end of the day; it comes down to how many cases can you ensure them they will sell to the Venue?

You as a Promoter decide that you need $5000 (which is always the magic #). Most Corporations plan their budgets and money allocation a year out. Before you ap-proach XYZ Liquor here is what you should have:

Decide what liquor company matches your brand1. What do you want the liquor company to do? Free 2. Liquor/ Open Bar, Money, POS (Point of Sale)What will you o� er the liquor company? Advertis-3. ing, Product placement etcMeet with the Venue to decide if they want to do 4. the promotion *this is the most important. You are actually a minor part. The decision of how you get the money is between the liquor distributor and the Venue. The reason for this is Florida’s “Tied House Evil” Law. This Law was set into e� ect after prohi-bition. (Via www.goldcoastbeverage.com) Once prohibition ended, Florida passed laws to create the distributor tier to end what became known as “tied house evil”. Tied house evil regulations are designed to promote a level playing � eld among retailers and to prevent: a) the elimination of competition and b) over-promotion of alcohol. It accomplishes this by prohibiting:Purchasing shelf space (carrying extra products) • Purchasing exclusivity• Furnishing equipment (like draft coolers)• Indebting retailer (creating a feeling of obligation)• Discriminatory promotional practices or pricing• Since all retailers get the same pricing to run their • business to provide the public with the most diverse mix of products at the lowest possible price. Write a Professional Proposal (no more than four 5. pages) that should include points 1,2, 3 and then submit it to the Liquor company.If the Liquor company and Venue agrees to the terms 6. of your proposal you are all set to build your event

With the additional emergency money, $16 billion will help keep 140,000 police offi cers and public

workers on the payroll and help states with their Medicaid payments. Also during the one day session, an additional $33 billion will go to

Afghanistan, because the money from the budget has been depleted. Basically all of this money will have to be borrowed, and the United States will be

forced to pay back this money with interest.

It is obvious that the Treasury Department will be forced to do some creative bookkeeping, when

they are borrowing money for states that are in the red, and two wars that have cost the country one

trillion dollars. At some point, it would appear that someone in Congress would decide that operating from a defi cit is the wrong way to run a country.

The states have already identifi ed and determined that their budgets for 2010-2012, there will be a

shortfall of $116 billion. This will mean that most states will be forced to increase their taxes and cut their services. It will impact every element of our lives and we will pay more money for inferior and

less services.

During the voting 308 to 114 lawmakers agreed to increase the funding of a war that they know

they cannot win is ludicrous. Spending one trillion dollars on two wars, and America has reached the point where we can no longer pay our bills. Every week we are borrowing millions and then we give the money to our enemies who are supposed to be

our friends. Eventually we will be forced to get our fi nancial houses in order.

Emergency spending is an indicator that as a country we are exceeding our initial budgets and we need to balance the books. Overspending will eventually put our country in deeper debt, and President Obama promised the country that he

would balance the budget.

Emergency spending is destroying our economy and an indicator that we cannot balance our budget and our books. It is time for President Obama and his

administration to make prudent fi nancial decisions, and balance our budget and operate in the black.

With the additional emergency money, $16 billion

By Roger Caldwell

IS EMERGENCY SPENDING HELPING THE ECONOMY?

On August 10, 2010, the lawmakers held a one day session, and pushed through a $26 billion job bill, that

they say will save 300,000 jobs. It is ironic that the lawmakers do not have to

do any research to justify their votes and decisions. The Democrats have identifi ed a need with limited information and they felt that they needed to act

before the children returned to school.

Seventy-fi ve percent of the nation’s school districts are trying to operate with fewer teachers and many

are fi nding out that their resources are being cut. Many of these districts will be forced to layoff

teachers and support personnel because funding is not available.

With the emergency spending bill $10 billion of the money will be used to save 160,000 teachers jobs. On the surface this appears to be a viable solution to many of the nation’s states shortfall. But one of the problems with distributing billions of dollars is

the money rarely reaches its destination intact.

Many times with the red tape, fraud, and the politics, only about half of the money reaches its

destination and the rest of the money is spent on bureaucratic paperwork and bookkeeping. The Democrats believe that they are doing the right thing, but many of the Republicans think

this is wasteful spending. At the present time the Democrats have the majority, therefore there is very

limited discussion, but someone will have to start asking the question, “Can the federal government

continue to bail out the states?”
