Tip “T.I.” Harris and Chris Brown star alongside Hayden Christensen, Paul Walker, Idris Elba, and Zoe Saldana in the action-packed trailer for Takers (formerly Bone Deep) produced by Tip and executive produced by Brown.

The film releases around the same time as Tip’s expected release from prison on February 19, 2010.

So yeah, I still think about her...

2009-08-22T00:41:00.008-05:00

Though I probably should keep it to myself, I’m thinking the best way to deal with it and get past it is to express it. It’s crazy though because if there was one thing she didn’t like about me, it was the fact that I was “so public”.

I can’t help it though. I’m an entertainer, a Rising Executive, Radio Personality, Event Host, Philanthropist, Promoter etc. My whole life is public...it's on display. I even let her appear on my radio show twice. So I’m not worried nor scared to face and answer the questions that come and will come from the supporters of the CWC Entertainment Group movement.

Why didn’t it work?

After a year of being involved, that's a good question. I thought we complimented each other in a lot of ways. You’re reading the blog of a guy that’s only had 6 official relationships. While I’m public, I’m also a bit guarded. I don’t let every woman “go there” with me.

Who knew when she took that military-related job oversees and the fact that I was on the “go” domestically would draw a wedge. I guess we asked ourselves why continue something long-term, long distance if the distance might not get cut down anytime sooner. No need to drag it out longer then it had to.

Did I give up too easily?

No I don’t think so. I’m not one to “handcuff” someone. As I say that, I do realize that’s a gift and a curse. There were times I should have said something but the “HEARTBREAK” inside me preventing me from doing so.

So what’s next?

It’s time for me to officially recognize that it’s over. That we came together for a “season” and now it’s time to officially acknowledge “the off season”. She’s focused on her job and focused on taking care of her daughter. I can respect that. Totally applaud her for that. She didn’t have time for me in this time of her life. We were obviously supposed to learn something from each other and I hope whatever I was supposed to “teach” her, she “learned”.

As the Heartbreak Kid, I just wanted to be different. Different from anyone she ever dated. I wanted to be one of the coolest to do it. I feel i accomplished that and feel she’ll have good moments to reflecting on whenever she thinks about what we had.

And what about you?

I know what you’re thinking and yes...maybe I didn’t totally have time for a relationship at this point either. Things continue to pick up and I’m on the grind now. It’s time to focus solely on the mission on hand; to hit the top of music & entertainment. As I do now, I’ll continue to meet and hang with beautiful women. The only difference is I’ll have to work harder to find out who’s really down for me and who’s in it for who I am and/or who I’m going to be. I'm an entertainer. Predicted by many to be the next to blow. I'm about to carry the city on my back and I'm not even a Rapper! I say that to say I'm not supposed to be caught up on a particular woman.

Though it’s been 8 weeks now, I still think about her...

With that said, I’m officially letting it go.

Forever yours peoples...

The Heartbreak Kid

Heartbreak Update!

2009-08-04T07:23:00.004-05:00

What's up peeps! Yours truly has returned. It's been crazy lately! I'll apologize in advance for any possible spelling errors as I type this on the handhled device.

Today I learned that sometimes I'm too giving. Usually I'm up on schemes from homeless people but one got me today. It's cool though. I gave for good reasons so at this point homie...it's between you and God!

Anyway, If you follow me on Twitter or you're amongst my Facebook friends, I'm sure you know about the Vincent Tucker Radio Show returning for a third "season", September 3rd! I've missed the booth, hanging out with my crew members as well as entertaining the peeps week in/week out with the show. We don't care who has now, just know we have next!

Hosting gigs for the rest of the quarter are picking up. Yours truly could be sharing the stage with a neo-soul legend. Stay tuned for details.

Enjoying single life as I'm meeting a lot of fascinating women. I'll be a lie if I didn't admit I still think "HER" but I'm a rising entertainer ...got to move on!

Remember look for me in the new movie "Tha Bridge", coming Spring 2010 via Red Joint Entertainment. I should have the trailor shortly from what I understand.

I appreciate the support peeps! I do it for you...especially the Ladies!

The Apology Heard Around the World - Chris Brown!

2009-07-20T19:47:00.003-05:00

Say what you want to say but I personally feel we should give the 20 year old a chance to redeem himself. I think he's a bright & talented kid that made a dumb mistake.

808's & Heartbreaks!

2009-07-13T06:51:00.004-05:00

Greetings people. It's Vincent "Young Heartbreak Tucker" here. Excuse the possible errors as I type this on handheld Peek device as I start to dose off.

Thanks to everyone that came to the official Grown & Sexy B-day Bash last Thursday. Until that night,the last Bday party I had was when I turned 16 in 1999, back when I lived in StoneyCrook (think rappers Mr. Pookie & Mr. Lucci.) I knew it was going to be a packed night when there was 60 people in the place and it was barely 9pm. Between 6pm and 2am, over 300 people came through. I know I missed out on some of my people as I wasn't able to make it until 11:15pm. People think I did that on purpose but thats not totally the case. Anyway, thanks to Keynote of 97.9 The Beat and Ms. Ro of CSL Music Group for celebrating their bdays with me as well. Lots of beautiful women their as well! Shout to Kim! Lol

Still can't believe that Michael Jackson is gone and just how impact music-wise he was to not only Americans but to the whole world. AS we as Americans turned our back on Michael during the allegations, the world stay faithful and supported him as always. Seeing his memorial made me realize I have quite a bit more work to put in before I die if I want a sendoff similar to Mike's.

(Random Note) I've come to grips that I'm a sucker for women that play hard to get and/or are supposed to be out of my league. It's nothing like a good challenge.

Can't wait until NFL training camps start. Aren't we like two weeks away? Oh, Madden '10 is out in 4 weeks. I highly advise that no one try to contact me the weekend it comes out as your emails will be unanswered and phone calls will go straight to voicemail!

Shout out to Red Joint Films and Film Director Joey Hayward. We wrapped our scenes for "Tha Bridge" on Saturday and it was fun! Shout out to Mike Lagocki and Justin 'GOAT' Griffith who are in the film as well. Look for the movie to come out Early 2010.

The Crew of the Vincent Tucker Radio Show is still on vacation...well kind of. Though their is some work that's still going on at the CWC Entertainment Group Offices, for the most part My guys aren't going the normal grind of doing the radio show each week. Look for original new programming in August.

Bout to go now as I need to get a little rest. Stay positive peeps and I'll catch to you later!

The Summer of Heartbreak is upon us...

2009-06-14T14:53:00.005-05:00

What's going on peoples? Yours Truly has returned. I know it's been a second. It's just been crazy as of late. As I'm this blog, it's 2:55 central as I'm blogging from the ever so hot Dallas, Texas.

Attended The Texas Urban Music Summit (June 5 - 7) presented by The Core DJs while co-promoting the Dallas Greek Picnic Weekend (June 4 - 7) at the same time time. If you observed the dates of both events, then you know it was a crazy week. No sleep as I also had to continue to manage the business (CWC Entertainment Group, L.L.C. - http://www.Citywideonline.net) plus promote the Hip Hop Helps Heal Domestic Violence Benefit that took place last night).

Side Note / Pet Peeve: I do not like people who don't do their research prior to reaching out. It drives me nuts when someone emails the RADIO SHOW website (http://www.VincentTuckerRadioshow.com) or my myspace page (http://www.Myspace.com/YoungHeartbreak) asking how can they get their song played on our RADIO STATION? If you don't get that the first time, feel free to re-read that sentence and pay attention to the words in caps.

Speaking of the Hip Hop Helps Heal Domestic Violence Benefit Show, Justin "GOAT" Griffith and I appreciate everyone that came through. A lot of hot performances and we all came together to raise funds for the Genesis Women's Shelter. 97.9 the Beat's Headkrack & Keynote came by as well as Pikahsso, Picnic & Tahiti. Shout to DJ Fish, Merk, Jackrabbit & Elle and everyone else that help make the night a great one. It was a late night/early morning so I don't have the dollar amount that we raised just yet. I'll let you know the dollar amount raised.

I'm listening to Once Again by John Legend right now. That's his second album, a 2006 G.O.O.D. Music / Columbia Records release for those keeping notes at home. LOL Album just gets better and better everytime I hear it. Speaking of which, make sure you have his latest release, the 2008 Columbia Records-distributed Evolver. Solid work as well.

So yours truly is back to raising money for diabetes. Gregory Hearns with Cause 360 and I raised the majority of the $1500 that our team raised for the Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes Walk in Dallas last November. In the midst of a recession, we're attempting to raise 3600 dollars this go round. The Walk is 5 months away so wish us luck. If you would like to donate something, do so now at the following link - (http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR?px=4412332&fr_id=6446&pg=personal). There is a "Sponsor Me" button that you'll have to push. All funds go to the American Diabetes Association.

Random Thought: Can the Lakers wrap up the NBA Finals against Orlando tonight? Will the Magic, on the brink of elimination force a Game 6? I'll say this, if Orlando wins tonight, Kobe will wrap it up at home in Los Angeles in Game 6. MARK MY WORDS.

Keeping up on that random note, is the NBA mad that Orlando screwed up the Kobe/LeBron NBA Finals matchup? No doubt the NBA lost a bunch of marketing revenue with LeBron sitting at home.

Too great people to mention that I met at The Texas Urban Music Summit. We'll be airing interview clips on the Vincent Tucker Radio Show in upcoming weeks. The guys are still on summer vacation as we get ready to make a run towards terrestial radio.

Oh while I love all my sororities especially the Deltas (I've dated a few)...BUT I have to admith that there's just something about a female that pledges pink and green! (Wink, Wink).

Can't wait for WWE RAW tomorrow. Starts one hour early. Check your local listenings. Please Randy Orton bring the gold home.

Until next time, say no to drugs and Men...Love the Women.

It's Heartbreak!

The Debut of Young Heartbreak TV!

"You're too BIG to go to a funeral?"

2009-05-09T09:40:00.002-05:00

What's going on peoples? Yours' Truly has returned. Too bad its under solemn terms.

I found out late yesterday that my Godmother had died on May 2nd from cancer. I feel bad because somewhere over the last 3 to 4 years, I've fell out of contact with a lot of people. This music & entertainment thing kinda has me out of touch. I was totally prepared to go to The Vincent Tucker Radio Show tapings today and skip the funeral.

Now I now that comes across bad but I think when you look at what I've been thru, what I've overcome, you could begin to understand where I'm coming from. I've been to many funerals over the past 16 years (and I'm only 25.) After a while, you find other ways to grieve. My way, so I thought, was to go to the tapings today and do what I like to do.....entertain people.

Then, a friend I hadn't seen/heard from in so many years, sends me an email on facebook telling me about the death and the funeral today. She tells me one particular member of the family has been trying to reach me. I think I was still going to miss the funeral until I talked to my radio co-host Myskenna.

Under her direction, she said I needed to pray and think about it. After much thought, I'm going to the funeral. I didn't get to see her on my terms at least not before she died. I had no idea she had cancer. No idea she was sick.

I'm not blaming anyone else. I'm blaming me. I fell out of contact. I failed to pick up the phone and call my loved ones. I've become so encompassed in this business that I've neglected the ones that were there from the beginning.

To those affected, I apologize. Charge it to my mind, not my heart.

R.I.P. to my Godmother Shirly Joyce Turner 8/58 - 5/09.

Signing off....

Heartbreak

"Are You that 'Heartbreak' guy?"

2009-04-19T09:58:00.003-05:00

**Before I start, I wanted to say R.I.P. to my baby sister Tiffany Tucker who would have been 24 this past week. Long story...we'll get to it another time**

Peoples, what's going on? It's Yours Truly...Vincent "Young Heartbreak" Tucker. It's 9:59 AM (CST) on Sunday, April 19. Last night was nuts. This weekend as a whole has been crazy. The lady that I've been dating who's in the Air Force, returned on Friday. She'll be out here for a week. We chilled on Friday but I decided we should hit the town on Saturday.

It's been a while since Yours Truly could really sit back and just relax. I tell people all of the time to chill out and relax and sometimes I could tend to use my own advice. It's just that my life, to some degree, is on the go. I want to slow down but now is not the time. We (CWC Entertainment Group, L.L.C.) have goals to meet. We plan on fully re-launching our public relations subsidiary, The Young Heartbreak Agency. We're trying to take our feature product, The Vincent Tucker Radio Show to the next level. So much to do and we don't have a lot of time to waste.

Anyway, back to the story. So I made a stop in Wal-mart late yesterday to pick up a few items and amongst reaching the electronics department, something weird of happened. Now I was clean from head to toe, confidence at a high plus my trademark lanyard was on full display. I went to ask one young lady where to find an IPod transmitter and then out of now where, her female co-worker shows up and trys to cut her off and take over. It was crazy because they seemed more interested in cutting each other off and finding out just exactly who I was then to actually help me. I even heard one of their male co-workers behind me mention that the transmitter was really easily to find but he wanted to see how long they would take to find it.

So my lady friend and I then went to meet up with some of my non-industry friends first to watch the Dallas Mavericks beat the San Antonio Spurs! (Now win 3 more Dallas!) Then we went to Brooklyn's Jazz Cafe. Now Brooklyn's was interesting. After feeling like the "MAN" at the previous two stops, I went back to just Vincent Tucker. It's always humbling when situations like that pop up. So we find a table and just relaxed. I was tempted to start handling out flyers and promote, just in the off chance people in the building might have known who I was, but I opted not to.

1 AM hits and my lady friend is ready to go. Next stop, Playdate Dallas. It's a fun event full of games, laughter and fun. If you never been, it's coming to your city. Check out Playdate.com. I think that's the address. Anyway, upon entering the hotel, I heard my name yelled down from one floor up. When I got up stairs and tried to get the admission information, it seemed like everyone knew who I was. It was nuts. I must have spent 10 minutes along just going through the pleasantries. It's something that was just nuts. Like if one person mentioned my name, someone else would over hear it and come introduce themselves. Througout our time there, I took pictures and was shown monster love.

I appreciate that. That's why I do it. I'm here to entertain the people. I do it for you. The person reading my blogs. Listening to our syndicated radio show. The person visiting our websites. The Myspace pages. Everything associated with the CWC Entertainment Group brand. I thank y'all.

Tonight, we're headed to see a new stage play "99 Questions before having Sex!" Shout out to Armani Valentino. I'm sure the play will be great.

And who knows...tonight might just prove once again that I'm more known then I thought I was.

Not bad for a kid that's coming from the bottom.

"Vincent, I Know the Perfect girl for you..."

2009-03-22T01:14:00.003-05:00

That's all I hear nowadays.

It's seems like all my homegirls have someone for me to meet. Like Yours' Truly can't function without a "girlfriend". It's cool though. I'm not mad at all. I think all of my homegirls have my best interest at heart. Heck, I remember this one female named Ashley that I was introduced to last year. She attended school in Tyler, Texas. Between her schedule and my schedule though, it was fun whenever we were able to get together. That was the first time that I ever had an 8 hour date. Long story!

Back to the point though, I have met very interesting females since this whole "Let me Hook You Up with a Girl" game started. The problem I face is my schedule makes me inconsistent. Plus there's still a certain someone currently oversees that I still think about too much. Okay, so I'm getting a little too personal.

It's now 1:20 AM Central on Sunday, March 22. I'm been moving all day today. It goes without saying that when everything is moved and set up, it's like HEAVEN. The only problem is the initial moving of the funiture and whatever else you have and that's like HELL. It's been a long time since I got up on a Saturday and didn't have a suit jacket on. I mixed in the crowds like a normal civilian.

Two weeks until Wrestlemania 25 in Houston, Texas. I Can't Wait!

Come on Dallas Mavericks! Get your act together.

Jerry Jones still should have not released Terrell Owens.

As always people, thanks for tuning in and check out my next blog.....whenever it comes out!

T.O. bounces back in 2 Days; Signs with Buffalo Bills!

2009-03-07T20:38:00.004-06:00

Two days ago, Jerry Jones and The Dallas Cowboys made a horrible decision in my mind. As a long time Dallas Cowboys fan, I thought the release of Terrell Owens was a bad decision.

I'll admit, when he was in San Francisco and Philadelphia, I was not a fan of T.O. But when he was suspended, I knew he was going to eventually disagree and I must have told anyone that would listen that when he gets released, Dallas needs to sign him. I was picturing T.O. and Terry Glenn on the outside and Keyshawn Johnson in the slot. Jerry Jones went left on me and released Keyshawn before signing T.O.

Since Terrell Owens signed to the Cowboys in March 2006, I had to easily be one of his biggest supporters. The man scored 38 touchdowns in 47 games with Dallas. According to NFL.com, that's one more than Randy Moss during that timeframe.

I like Roy Williams, always have. I became a fan when he was playing at the University of Texas. But I don't think I was ready for him to be the #1 receiver for Dallas. I wanted Roy and T.O. to have a full year together and thought I was getting that. Jerry Jones once again when left on me and released my Favorite receiver two days ago (3/5/09).

I think T.O.'s influence on the field will be missed. This was a guy that drew consistent double and triple team coverage. That opened up things underneath for Jason Witten and Patrick Crayton. I'm afraid now everyone is going to bracket Witten and "DARE" Roy Williams to beat them.

Anyway, what is done is done. T.O. is gone. The guy the media swears is a distraction is drawing support from his some of his former Dallas Cowboy Teammates. He's a Buffalo Bill now. While they won't win a Super Bowl, I do think that T.O. can help them make the playoffs. He could make Lee Evans better by giving sound advice and taking pressure off of him as well.

Good Luck T.O. I can't believe Jerry Jones cut one of his central Marketing Pieces. From a marketing standpoint, it's all solely on Tony Romo.

Early Predictions for Terrell Owens in 2009 - 59 Catches, 917 Yards and 10 TDs.

Hopefully, he does better than this. Can't wait till the draft. My former down the street neighbor Jason Smith could be the 2nd player taken.

Enjoy the video below!

"He" never met a Microphone that...

2009-03-07T11:03:00.001-06:00

They say "He's never met a microphone that he wouldn't speak into!" After last night, "THEY" are right!

What's going on peoples? Vincent "Young Heartbreak" Tucker here. It's 11:03 AM here in Bright Dallas, Texas. Okay...I moved to the outskirts so I'm in Bright Euless, Texas!

Anyway, last night I hosted the SMASH OUT AIDS Gospel Hip Hop Event at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). Presented by the UTA chapter of Keep A Child Alive (KCA), I was called upon to keep the show going. Shouts out the soundmen Garrick and Lebron...can't forget about DJ Whiz.

The night overall is great. You know, "Yours' Truly" has been hosting at night clubs during my last couple of hosting engagements (a la last week's DJ's & Diva's Party) but this was my return to "The Stage." The Lonestar Auditorium inside UTA's MAC Center was a great place for the KCA - SMASH OUT AIDS event.

I was a little nervous at first. I'll admit that. Because as I crossed the stage I realized this event was "bigger" than last week. You don't have to look at me hosting in a night club...you have to look at me here. If I must say so, I thought I did well. The feedback and love I received following the event, to me, supports that theory. It was the KCA's first event of this magnitude at UTA so as you can imagine, there was a few hiccups. Overall though, everyone should have enjoyed it.

A Secular Guy hosted a Gospel event? Yeah I know what some of y'all are thinking. But yes...I did it. I proved I can "Crossover!" lol. Shout out to all of the performances that took place from Holy Hip Hop, Gospel Singing, Step & Praise Dancing and more. Pastor Corey Jefferson had some great things to say and Avista/Sony Records Recording Artist Tabatha Roy closed everything down for us. Great night as a whole. Shout out to GTK, B-Holy and Big Nick. Oh, can't forget Eternal and Osato. Those guys proved to me that they can take Jesus "Mainstream". The beats were hot, the vocals were amazing. They represented.

So it looks like I've said enough as it's time for me to hit the exit. Once again though, I appreciate being apart of the movement. It was also a benefit so I'll have to find out how much we raise.

Oh...shout out to Melissa Felix, President of the UTA Chapter of Keep A Child Alive. I remember when she was first putting this together. She was SOOOO NERVOUS and Scared as this was her first big event. I kind of served as a consultant. Overseeing the whole process and making sure she was making the right decisions. After tonight, she might just be able to "survive" in the promoter business. lol

Anyway, before I went on that last rant...I was heading for the exit. So Once again thanks. Everybody out there stay lite! See y'all next time!

My post-Barack Obama Inauguration Thoughts!

2009-01-25T07:42:00.006-06:00

What's good peoples? It's Vincent "Young Heartbreak" Tucker here! Up early.....7:42 am on a Sunday Morning. I'm about to turn on the radio and listen to Pastor Rickey Rush and get the word for the day!

I was asked how I felt about the Presidential Inauguration by Dallas South Blogger Shawn Williams during a radio interview 10 days ago. thought since I was up, I'd express my official thoughts concerning Barack Obama becoming the 44th President of the United States post Inauguration.

Let me first say this was my first Presidential Inauguartion that I've ever observed. I was impressed with the whole setup. It might sound weird but what did it for me was when Barack walked George Bush out to the other side of Captiol Hill to see him off. I thought it was cool that the Former President and New President from two different parties were cordial with each other and telling jokes.

Unity, Change, Coming Together. This was some of the things President Obama talked about in his Inaugration speech. The above scenario described some of that. Whether you love or hate George W. Bush, please understand its HARD to be the President of the United States. I feel like you have to give him that. It could have been worse.

But back to Barack, him becoming President is much bigger to me than him being black. While I don't want to minimize that he's the first African-American to achieve that feat, I'm more proud of Obama because I feel he'll promote Unity, Change and Coming Together.

We're in/headed to hard times. We'll only come back if we change our ways, unite and come together. (You like how I used "Change" "Unity" and "Come Together" in the same sentence! LOL)

Anyway, stay lite and thanks for all those people that Charles "CITY" Gbabedo and I got to register to vote and actually voted. You made the whole political experience fun for me.

Till Next Time,

Don't Miss It!

2008-12-30T13:34:00.001-06:00

Recently a colleague of mine posed an interesting question in one of the forums I frequent (DFWHipHop.com). Everyone was simply asked to recap 2008 and determine if it was successful for you or not.

As far as I’m concerned, 2008 for me was successful. I can't complain at all. I’ve tried to grow every year.

2005 was about trying to find direction.
2006 was about learning the game as member of Metro Muzik: The Union.
2007 was about coming up as a member of Metro Muzik: The Union.

"As the Year of Heartbreak”, 2008 was mainly about growth and exposure and emerging from my mentor’s Mr. Kuwn-Dalini's shadow. After a 21 month run promoting events/concerts/showcases with Mr. Kuwn-Dalini and Metro Muzik: The Union, I set out on a mission to make a name for not only myself but the CWC Entertainment Group, LLC brand.

Media Coverage - Either myself and/or events I promoted or co-promoted received media coverage on FOX 4, ABC 8, Dallas Observer, Quick DFW, D210 TV, Dallas Morning News, 97.9 The Beat, 94.5 K Soul, KKDA 730 AM, North Dallas Gazette and many, many more.

Dream Team 2008 – In breaking away from Mr. Kuwn-Dalini and Metro Muzik: The Union, I needed to work with different people. I made a list and called it Dream Team 2008, getting to work with people I respected like Koch Records Recording Artist Pikahsso, Jazzy Williams, Hip Hop Recording Artist G.O.A.T., Promoter Vigilante, Entrepreneur Charles "CITY" Gbadebo, D210’s Vernon Hadnot amongst others.

The Vincent Tucker Radio Show (www.VincentTuckerRadioShow.com) – My first business move post-Metro Muzik: The Union was The Vincent Tucker Radio Show. As a joint venture between CWC Entertainment Group, L.L.C. and Not Like The Others Entertainment, The weekly program aired exclusively on the 360 D Radio Online Network beginning December 2007. Once we gained a following and starting receiving syndication offers from other online radio stations, we re-negotiated our agreement with The 360 D Radio Online Network. Since being allowed to expand our audience in July 2008, we've now amassed 13 syndication and content partnership deals in place, reaching an average weekly audience of 87,000 worldwide. Big plans in place shortly...stay tuned.

D210 TV! (www.D210.tv) - 2008 also saw yours' truly becoming VP of Operations for D210 TV! (D210.TV). I started an intern program, brought in members from the Dream Team 2008 and help lay some foundation for the fledging TV Show. I officially left the show this month but I wish those guys the best on everything. Unfortunately, I had to forfeit my membership on the T.O.M.I. Magazine board when I signed on to D210 TV! But there are no hard feelings at all!

Event Host - 2007 was the beginning, 2008 was the year I stepped out there. Being called on by various promoters in the Metroplex to host, I hosted everything from Artist showcases, to charity events to parties to Social Gatherings. (Cheap Plug: Now taking bookings until April 2009. Let me know!)

Register To Speak Out! / Rock The Vote - In January, Ean Pegram with UnDevco made a post on the forum mentioned earlier that he was disappointed no one was making a stand and encouraging people to take advantage of the political process. Following up on a four year dream, I launched my own voter registration effort entitled "Register To Speak Out!" in May 2008. Shortly after I recruited Charles "CITY" Gbadebo to join the cause and we helped register new voters across the United States. In July 2008, Rock The Vote announced I became the official Dallas/Fort Worth Team Leader for the 20 year organization and I had to shift my focus a little bit.

Philanthropic Moments - Pikahsso Saves The Homeless / B-Day Bash......This was the event that started the year off for me. The only people to give me credit for my influence in this event was Pikahsso, Tahiti, Picnic & Jazzy Williams. With that said....I realize they'll be the only ones that will so I'm moving on.....

Other Philanthropic moments for me included partnering with G.O.A.T. to raise over $1200 for breast cancer research proving that Hip-Hop does care about the community. I partnered with Gregory Hearns to raise $1500 for Diabetes as We participated in "Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes." I can't forget the two kids events I hosted with the Underground Hip-Hop Academy, entertaining underprivileged kids in "Lil' Mexico." Every month...I'm in the kitchen at The Salvation Army Center across the street from Parkland feeding the homeless.

He or she who says I'm not in the community...just doesn't read! LOL

I could keep going but I'll just say visit me online at www.VincentTucker.com for more details!!!!

What's My Legacy?

2008-08-01T09:30:00.001-05:00

What's going on guys? Yours Truly has returned! Not going to waste time so let's get to it.

I spend a lot of time thinkg about my legacy. Hold now...Hear me out. I know I'm still relatively young in my career (3 Years Today) and I know that I'm just starting to taste the crisp of success but I can't help but think about my impact on people, things, music & entertainment thus far.

As we re-ran The Vincent Tucker Radio Show presents The Savel Rhines Show - Part 1 across our affiliate stations this week as we prepare for Part III in two weeks, I listened to the beginning were I addressing my critics. Addressing the people that sit and comment and have not ever done a thing nor did any research.

It was once said by people I've never met, that "I'm selfish and in a team setting....I still make it all about me!" They say "I don't give back to the community!". The Question I always pose back to them is this.....Did you guys really read the report on me or did you just skim through it?

Because I don't flaunt my community achievements, don't mean I don't give back. Read my story. It's the story of a guy who came from the bottom and gives back in an attempt to uplift those still in the struggle. No where in the criticism do I hear that I feed the homeless each month. I missed the report about the multiple Back 2 School Drives for School Supplies. I didn't read about my invovlement with the Salvation Army Tree Angel Tree program, buying gifts for other children when I don't even have any myself.

I know it seems like I'm ranting and I apologize. But I don't appreciate people talking down on me and not supply all of the facts.

For those following the movement and continue to hear stuff about me, I invite you to check out my website (http://www.vincenttucker.com/) and/or send me an email on the site. Get both sides of the story before you form an opinion.

Now that I've gotten off my chest, if you're in the DFW area, Check out my radio Co-host Myskenna and I hosting a Hip Hop Breast Cancer Benefit at The Bone (in Dallas, Texas). You can read more details at the official Myspace page of H4 - Hip Hop Helps Heal (http://www.myspace.com/HipHopHelpsHeal).

I appreciate everyone for stopping by. Till Next Time!

New Radio Show, Pimp-C, Michael Vick and more?

2007-12-14T23:24:00.000-06:00

I appreciate everyone that tuned in to the debut episode of The Vincent Tucker Show this past Tuesday. As I stated throughout the show, we’re simply trying to bring that “Radio Morning Show Appeal to the Internet.” By the comments and feedback I’ve received either in person or via email, it seems everyone was pretty pleased with the show. We’ll be back on the air for a special after Christmas Show on Wednesday, December 26th. I truly believe that I have Four of the best co-hosts in the world….MysKenna, Savel Rhines, Yellostar & J.B. The sky is the limit from here guys!!!!! Thanks Jam Renaissance again for giving me the opportunity to try radio…and to think I almost turned this gig down!!!!!

Speaking of the show, is the rumors true that the show is going to be picked up by another Internet Radio station in addition to 360DRadio.com? (Hmmm…. Stay tuned)

Recently the hip-hop world suffered the death of another legend, Chad Butler aka Pimp-C of U.G.K. As we await the toxicology reports, I just want to send my condolences to the Butler Family as well as his rhyming partner Bun-B. I feel for the hardcore, dedicated fans who followed Pimp-C/UGK. Though I predominately grew up in Texas, I unfortunately wasn’t fully exposed to UGK they were featured on the 2000 hit single from Jay-Z, “Big Pimpin.” I grew up a commercial music fan (Commercial Radio, MTV, BET), therefore my exposure to UGK was limited until then. So while I can’t fully say that I’m affected like the hardcore fans, I can say I still feel for the fans and the family. Can you imagine the amount of velocity, pain and emotion that Bun-B brings to his next solo album? Sometimes artists make even better music when they go through a dark period in their life. R.I.P. Pimp-C.

Now that T.I. is in trouble, on house arrest and possibility facing time……will someone else stand up and claim to be the King of the South?

I apologize to the football fans that follow my blog. It appears I was incorrect in the amount of wins the Dallas Cowboys would get this year. I initially stated they would go 11-5 and at least win the NFC East title. My Cowboys are currently 12-1 with the NFC East title coming under wrap last weekend. I still expect an apology for those who told me I was crazy when I only predicted 5 losses this year!!!!! Now if we could only get Keyshawn Johnson to shut up……

Now sure how many Baseball Fans it is still out there but was anyone really surprised by Former Senator Mitchell’s report? The use of steroids in Baseball was the worse kept secret in Sports. The Owner, Management Staff, Coaches, Players, Media and the fans knew steroids was a huge problem for the sport known as “America’s Past Time.” Go ahead and Let Pete Rose back now. All he did was gamble…..he didn’t use anything to boost his on-field production. But some of the guys on that list WHO WILL BE VOTED TO THE HALL OF FAME did and that’s not fair to Pete.

I know I’m only 24, but does anyone remember when DJs used to actually spin records?

I commend suspended Atlanta Falcons Quarterback Michael Vick for turning himself in early back in November. 23 months…. Ouch!!!! I think his legal team was very smart in convincing the embattled quarterback Michael to start serving jail time before his sentencing next month. It will do him some justice when the sentencing begins. Look at it like a timed served. I still think the biggest punishment regardless of what the Judge gives himself, was the suspension from the NFL that he was given. The possibility that Vick won’t be able to ever play the game he loved growing up, will hurt more than any jail time.

In closing, Everyone that has supported the movement, as always I appreciate it. Continue to send the questions and comments to me. Everybody be safe out there. I’ll see you in two weeks!

Stage Presence & possibly working with Gifted Tha Go-Gitta again.

2007-11-07T19:17:00.000-06:00

Wow after a 4 week delay, It’s Vincent Tucker here again. I hope is well. Everybody’s favorite executive from CWC Entertainment Group has stayed busy as always.

I’m having fun hosting “The Union”, a weekly independent artist showcase held Sundays at Tomcats - Deep Ellum in Dallas. I’ve seen some acts with a lot of potential; needless to say I also saw some performers that need to “step up their game”. I think a lot of times, people in my generation, have forgotten the importance of Stage Presence. Its amazing that artists are forgetting the importance of crowd interaction or participation. You wonder why you don’t receive the attention you believe you deserve, well did you actually give the crowd a show? You wonder why you set up a stand at the club, yet you failed to sell any cds....... Did you try to have any interaction with the crowd?

One of the things I hate the most on a weekly basis, is seeing an independent act who has more than three (3) people on stage with him and none of the other people have lines in the song nor are decent hype men because they don’t really know the words. They just want to be seen. Don’t you think it would be better to have those extra people actually stay in the crowd and make it appear that you have a sizable following? Understand Ladies buy CDs and they aren’t going to buy CDs from people that scared them.

Changing Subjects... “Mars vs. Venus – The Battle of the Sexes” show coming up on November 25th. Stay tuned for details.

How come when you’re respectful in certain situations……you lose?

After initally beginning in June with Club Hush, the "Just So Fly Wednesdays" ended with a bang last Wednesday. The Halloween Party was packed. It was great to end that era with like that!!!!! We'll take a break, but we'll be back. Stay tune to find out where the party goes to next.

Are the rumors about me hitting radio soon true?

It's nice to see that blog I had about the next 10 artists from DFW has set a fire under artists not mentioned.

As with every blog, I give my email address allowing people the opportunity to leave feedback and ask questions.

Stacey from Jacksonville, Florida writes: I recently read through the archived news on the website and discovered that CWC Entertainment Group was involved with a rapper named Gifted Tha Go-Gitta. I was wondering if you could be a little clearer on the departure, whether you knew what he was doing now and if you’re interested in working with him again?

I honestly didn’t see this one coming! For those new to the movement, I managed Rapper/Actor Rickey Carter aka Gifted Tha Go-Gitta from November ‘05 – March ‘06. To answer your first question......No, I can’t go into details and I’m not sure if/when I can ever fully get into that. All I can say is Mr. Carter, Chris Panayiotou (Co-Owner of CWC Entertainment Group, LLC.) and I had a meeting and decided for at least the interim, we achieve our goals in our own separate ways. I’ve had conversations and seen Gifted plenty of times since parting. I even booked him for a charity event late Summer ’06. In one of my last conversations with him, it appears he’s getting ready to take his company to the next level and set to finally drop his debut LP next year. Whether I’m interested in working with Mr. Carter again....... As I’ve said plenty times before, we are in a business, an industry where you can “never say never”. People who are professional and consistently handle their business properly will eventually iron out any differences and potentially seek an environment where both parties can cohesively co-exist.

Last but not least......in an earlier blog entry, I stated my Dallas Cowboys were going 11-5 and winning the NFC East Division Title. I received plenty of emails stating that I don't know anything about the NFL and that the Philadelphia Eagles were the team to beat for the NFC East Title. Now that the road to the division title no longer goes through Philadelphia (we beat them 38-17 Sunday Night), does my prediction look crazy now?

In closing, I’ll answer some more questions next entry. Everyone that has supported the movement, as always I appreciate it. Continue to send the questions and comments to me. Everybody be safe out there. I’ll see you in two weeks!

Top 10 Artists from DFW part 2, O.J. Simpson and more!!!!

2007-10-03T14:42:00.000-05:00

Back like I never left, ladies and gentleman, as always I’m glad to be here. I once again appreciate everyone for riding along and following the CWC Entertainment Group movement.

I first want to address the somewhat “controversial” blog entry that I submitted two weeks ago. I had no idea that my endorsement or should I say lack of endorsement would cause some pandemonium. I’m referring to me naming the next 10 Hip-Hop / Rap artists from the area that I thought would have a legitimate chance of succeeding in today’s National Music Scene. I received a record number of emails and phone calls. The MySpace page that belongs to yours truly was flooded with email messages. All I did was answer a question that someone sent me and it caused commotion for some reason. For those that felt left out and failed to read the whole entry, I stated that not only were the names mentioned not in any particular order but they also were the first 10 names that came to mind. I’ll be the first to admit that there were some artists that I left out. But in all fairness, there are some artists that are complaining that shouldn’t be mentioned. But I guess it simply means that my words are more powerful than I thought. Maybe, just Maybe….......people do care about the opinion of Vincent Tucker. Hmm.....who would of thought?

Anyway, on to other things, since I last left you, everybody’s favorite former NFL Running back from South California that you love to hate, once again is in trouble. Yes, O.J. Simpson is now in trouble as he “allegedly” committed armed robbery in connection with 2 other people as they tried to seek items O.J. stated belongs to him. Sure I could take the liberty of taking “shots” at the former NFL Star but I’ll show some restraint. Similar to my pleading concerning Vick in one of my earlier blog entries, everyone needs to remember that until proven other-wise, O.J. Simpson is still technically innocent. So lets all not be so quick to place judgment. Let O.J. go thru the legal system and if proven guilty, then as the public fire away, but until then.....give the man a break. I’ll be the first to admit that O.J. hasn’t made it easy to be viewed as “innocent” in the public eye. I don’t know an individual that believes O.J. Simpson didn’t kill Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman in the early 90’s even though he was found innocent in the criminal trial. But I’ll say this before changing subjects, I do believe “they” (and I’ll leave it up to you to figure out who is “they”), but “they” will probably try to make an example out of him if “they” have a chance. It’ll be interesting to see the end result of the trial.

Speaking of the NFL, let me first reiterate that in an earlier blog entry I did state that my Dallas Cowboys would finish 11-5 and at least win the NFC East Division title. Some of you called me crazy but after the 35-7 romp of the St. Louis to further post an undefeated record of 4-0.....how crazy am I?

Everybody’s favorite executive, (Me, of course…who else did you think I was referring to?) has been staying busy as always. Business for our newest auxiliary company “The Young Heartbreak Agency” is picking up. From Email blasts, media kits and more, the word about The Young Heartbreak Agency is spreading. I have an interview with a nationally distributed publication coming up (Stay Tuned for that). I’m booking The Harlem Starz Basketball Team for some spots in Virginia, Georgia and Florida. The Harlem Starz will be in those states in Mid November to Mid December. Be looking for us in a city near you! (If you need a refresher on who The Harlem Starz are, please click on The Young Heartbreak Agency Tab on the left side of the website) We still are doing “Just So Fly Wednesdays” with Mr. Kuwn-Dalini at Club Hush. So as you can see....business is still raising.
As with every blog, I give my email address allowing people the opportunity to leave feedback and ask questions.

Jason from Roswell, New Mexico asks: “As an executive who didn’t profit from the Kanye West vs. 50 Cent battle, did you think it was a good thing for music?”

As I begin, let me state that I was thoroughly amused with the results of the Kanye West vs. 50 Cent Billboard Battle. It was actually a great thing for not only Urban / Hip-Hop Music but for Music in general. I think we’ll start to see battles of this magnitude in many different music genres over the next year or two. I think the funniest thing I heard following the release of the 1st Week Billboards results for the battle was someone I know who stated that “people who normally bootleg records were actually at their favorite record store buying either one or both of the albums”. That Ladies and Gentlemen, is a wonderful thing. In an era where record sales are down while downloading and bootlegging is up, any thing that can spark a fire and convince consumers to visit their local music store is beautiful. That's why a lot of us are in the business....to sell records!

In closing, I’ll answer some more questions next blog. Everyone that has supported the movement, as always I appreciate it. Continue to send the questions and comments to me. Everybody be safe out there. I’ll see you in two weeks!

Vincent Tucker aka “Young Heartbreak”
Founder of CWC Entertainment Group, LLC

Vincent talks about the next 10 Artists from DFW to blow and more!!!!!

2007-09-19T14:47:00.000-05:00

Back for the 6th time, Ladies and Gentleman I’m glad to be here. I hope all has been well. Not to beat a dead horse, but its interesting how after 6 weeks, the dissolution of Metro Muzik: The Union is still being discussed. Those following the movement are aware of Mr. Kuwn-Dalini’s interview and my response on 360 D Radio last Friday. Those that missed it and care to listen, you can head to the 360 D Radio website (www.360DRadio.com) and look for the September 14th edition on the show. For everyone else, I honestly hope that we can move from this. As I’ve stated, that was a great 18 month ride with its ups and downs, mainly ups....but it’s time for everybody to let it go. That chapter for interim is done.

But with the mention of Mr. Kuwn-Dalini, I’ll admit it will feel good to return to the Tomcat’s stage on Sunday and co-host “The Re-Union” with Kuwn. It’s the first time we’ve co-hosted since he re-launched “The Union” showcase series on September 9th. Kuwn always said there wasn’t a microphone that I didn’t want to talk into......

As with every blog, I give my email address allowing people the opportunity to leave feedback and ask questions.

Scott from Tulsa, Oklahoma asks: Do you think the Majors (i.e. Atlantic, Def Jam, Columbia, Virgin) are interested in Artists from the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex (DFW)?

In my opinion...yes. They all have offices here. Everyone doesn’t know that but they do. They have keept their ears to the streets. They have street teams. Since 2006, Dallas has garnered some attention from the Majors.

• January 2006 - Mr. Pookie released “The Return of the Rippla” via Universal's Fontana Distribution (thru Boss Entertainment).
• December 2006 - Big Tuck released “The Absolute Truth” via T-Town / Universal Republic Records.
• January 2007 - P.P.T. released “Tres Monos in Love” via Koch Records (thru Idol Records and Navarre Distribution)
• April 2007 – “The Bioniq MC” Steve Austin released “The 800lb. Gorilla via Universal Music Enterpries
• June 2007 – Tum Tum released “Eat or Ate Alive” via T-Town / Universal Republic Records

Excluding P.P.T., Mr. Pookie, Big Tuck, Steve Austin and Tum Tum’s major label LPs under-performed at retail due to various reasons including lack of promotions and lack of support from the hometown. Because I don’t have the terms of everybody’s contract, I’m not sure of who is responsible for what as far as the marketing & promotions of each album listed above. P.P.T. on the other hand is on the rise and Tres Monos in Love has become a more popular LP amongst the locals. Clout Records recently signed a distribution deal with EMI. As I mentioned......Yes the majors have/are interested in talent from DFW. This is the number 4, 5 media market in the country so it’s only a matter of time before we have someone that takes the nation be storm from this area.

Jessica from Dallas, Texas asks: Can you can name 10 Hip-Hop / Rap artists from our city that everyone should be watching for that doesn’t have / had any type of major deal?

“In no particular order, I believe everyone should be watching for : Colby Savage, Money Waters, Ricochet, Suavé and Elite Star Productions, Knesecary, King Ashoka, Que-P from Philly Station, Dawg Wonder from D.D.C., Gifted Tha Go-Gitta and B-Eazy. This list was in no particular order and I simply named the first 10 names that came to me.”

Oh, I forgot about G.O.A.T. That's why this is a difficult question. There are so many artists I think have the immediate talent and/or need the least molding. Thinking of G.O.A.T., shouts out to him and dj three6t as they celebrate the "Dallas Got Next" Mixtape at their Mixtape Release Party in Dallas on Saturday. G.O.A.T. has been grinding for a while and nice to see he's beginning to get his just due!

In closing, I’ll answer some more questions next week. Everyone that has supported the movement, as always I appreciate it. Continue to send the questions and comments to me. Everybody be safe out there. I’ll see you in two weeks!

Vincent Talks UnSigned The Magazine, P.P.T., KoMika and More!

2007-09-05T14:51:00.000-05:00

What’s Going On Everybody? It’s Vincent here for the 5th installment of “Vincent’s Corner.” It’s been two weeks but I’ve kept y’all in mind. I’ve received plenty of emails and comments since my last blog entry. I know I’m supposed to answer one question per blog but due to space I’ll probably have to answer one in my next blog.

So since we last spoke, Mike Vick pleads guilty to some of the charges involved with the Dog Fighting Indictments against him and his cohorts. Vick just mortgaged his future for the “fast money.” With all of his endorsements and the $130 million contract he signed 3 years ago, Vick didn’t even need the fast money. Sure he’s going to prison, but what the judge needs to remember is that Vick not being able to play football on Sundays will hurt him more than any prison time he does. This is the time when an athlete uses the sport they play to take his/her mind off of the world’s pressures. He’ll miss all of this season, next season because of prison and then the NFL will suspend Vick for another season. When he comes out, he’ll be 31 and 3 pro seasons out of football. But in his defense, I believe he’s learned from this. One question though....... When did people killing animals become bigger than people killing people? If we had this much energy and focus on gun control, the nation would be in a better place.

Okay, so let me get off of my soap box for a moment. I wanted to mention that the best event I attended during the last two weeks, was the Unsigned The Magazine Print Launch Party. After being an online magazine for so long, Robbie Wilcox (Publisher) and Mut Asheru (EIC) have brought the magazine to print. On the first cover of the magazine, P.P.T. (Pikahsso, Picnic and Tahiti) is on the cover. I’m a HUGE FAN of P.P.T. Upon first hearing music from the trio over a year ago, I thought the group was a little bit too eccentric but I’ve learned P.P.T. is bringing back the fun to Hip-Hop music. They make good music. P.P.T. is signed to Koch Records through Idol Records and Navarre Distribution. So congrats to Robbie and Mut for going to print and P.P.T. for getting the initial cover.

On the subject of the Launch party, shouts out to Jay Fouts (Blackwerks Ent), Rage Almighty, DJ P-Nut, Jam Renaissance, Bruh-N-Law, Zach and Chris Collier, P.P.T. (Tahiti, I didn’t know you knew who I was!), HeadKrack (97.9 The Beat), Original Soul, T-Wrex (Slept on), DJ Spinn, DJ Fish and Mut (I told you I’m going for the cover!). Jay, I learned a lot from you in our long conversation, we’ll make something happen!

It was announced yesterday that I’m the DFW Booking Agent for the Harlem Starz, a novelty basketball team based out of El Paso, Texas. Similar to the Harlem Globetrotters, the Starz are a basketball team full of former Collegiate, And 1, Overseas and Globetrotters who travel from high school to high school playing the best students at the school. They also bring a drug free atmosphere and positive message wherever they go. I’m gracious that the owner Mike Gonzales reached out to me for the venture. They should be coming to North Texas in November so look out for them!

Be sure to check out the newest single from “R&B’s Biggest Secret” KoMika. The song is titled “Don’t Stop” and produced by the Evil Genius DJ Green Latern. We just sent the record out to over 200 DJs and Record pools across the country and have received positive feedback. To listen to “Don’t Stop”, click on her picture in the left hand side of the website and/or visit her online at www.KoMikasWorld.com. I’m glad that Industry Veteran Dan The Man is allowing us to work with her to help take KoMika to the next level.

Before I Go, let me say that my prayers are going out to Tonisha Johnson as her Dad is in the hospital right now suffering from an undisclosed problem i'm not at liberty to release. Tonisha gave me my first interview in August last year and made me apart of the advisory board for up-start T.O.M.I. Magazine this past February. Tonisha, Everything will be okay! (New Issue of T.O.M.I. Magazine is due this week! (www.tomimagazine.com)

So everybody until next time, it’s been great. Continue to send the questions and comments to me. Everybody be safe out there. I’ll see you in two weeks!

Volunteering, 360 D Radio, Teen Summit and More!

2007-08-22T14:55:00.000-05:00

After a two-week delay.....I’m back. With everything that has rolled out and is rolling out in the near future, it’s sometimes hard to be able take time out and blog. But without further ado....I’m back.

I want to first say thanks to all of the people who express their enjoyment of me working with the Texas Teen Summit. Since I was a teenager, I’ve always wanted to be a role model and/or an example to other teens. I think the Texas Teen Summit will allow me that opportunity. I’m definitely excited about it and can’t wait to get started!!!!!

By time you read this, it has been announced that CWC Entertainment Group, LLC. is sponsoring the 2007 Texas Teen Talent Explosion in Houston on October 20th. I’ll be helping with the audition process as far as relaying information and letting people know where to go for the auditions. For Dallas, it will be at Singing Hills Recreation Center on September 1st and we’re have another audition process for teens out in Fort Worth on September 8th but the place for the auditions is still undetermined.

This week, it was also publicized that 360 D Radio is becoming our Online Radio Partner for The 1st Annual High School Hip-Hop Showcase™. I’m very exciting that we were able to come to terms. 360 D Radio and its website 360DRadio.com is dedicated to bringing exposure to independent Hip-Hop and R&B artists in North Texas. The 60 minute commercial free show is also played on Pegasusnews.com, OKRP.com in Oklahoma and HipHopSoulRadio.com in Dallas. So with our partnership, we’ll be able to hit different markets. You can start hearing commercials about the showcase starting next summer!!!!

Also, when it comes to teens, I believe I’m in the midst of something big involving basketball and high schools. Of course, like any good executive, I can’t fully discuss what is not official. If more comes out of the situation, I think its going to be great for North Texas Teens.

I’ve had two back-to-back Saturdays of Volunteering. I assisted Buckner Children’s Home in sorting school supplies for kids and served food to the homeless last Saturday at Salvation Army Carr P Collins Social Center (August 11). I than volunteered at the Back School Drive that Buckner Children’s Home and Cliff Temple Baptist Church had in Oak Cliff, Texas this past Saturday (August 18). It was great seeing the smiles on those kids’ faces as they picked up their school supplies and received brand new tennis shoes to wear at the beginning of the year. The kids that attended also received free check-ups as the parents were whisked away for mini-seminar explaining how they can receive additional financial support (i.e. Food stamps). While I'm not trying to bring on my community service effort but I'm trying to show that young people especially people in the music industry, DO CARE ABOUT THE WORLD AROUND THEM.

At the end of every blog, I'm going to answer one of the questions that I've been emailed since I started this blog over a month ago. I received an question in an email from someone asking: Because the music & entertainment industry seems to be a 24 hour job, do you get tired?

The answer to that question is Yes and No. Without trying to get all hypothetical, I’ll state that the music and entertainment industry has “its moments” but at the same time “I’ve just begun and have a lot more to do before I can call myself tired.” Sometimes I feel like I’m carrying the world on my shoulders.

There are times I think did I choose this life or did it choose me? I mean I’m never at home; I don’t really have a lot of time for a social life. Everything with me is business, business, and business. I just want to take a break but I know I can’t. I have far to go but I’ve come too far.

But the thing is, every time I’ve questioned why I keep going on the pace I’m going, I think of my team especially Chris and Ke’shun, I think of my family, I think about all of the people I care about, I think about all of the people who didn’t get to achieve their dreams. It’s after those moments, that I realize this is the life for me and I will be successful.

As always, it’s been great being able to reveal my weekly thoughts and industry experiences through these blogs. I’m thankful of all of the emails I’ve received regarding my blog and look forward to future comments and questions.

Once again, it’s Vincent here. What an eventful time the last week or so has been. Followers of the movement by now have read about and/or heard my interview with 360 D Radio concerning the dissolution of Metro Muzik: The Union. For those just now following along, Metro Muzik: The Union was an Urban Music collective of Promoters and Music Executives blazing the trail in North Texas. Together for 18 months, we put together dozens of concerts, showcases and parties.

As you may have heard in my interview on 360 D Radio, I was very surprised about the amount of phones calls and emails that I received from people regarding the dissolution. Just when you thought it wasn’t possible, it may be safer to assume that as promoters and executives, we had somewhat of a fan base. It’s kind of surreal when I really think about it. Never one to shy away from attention, I “embrace it in so many ways”. I was told that "I never met a microphone I didn’t like. (I’m still trying to find out if that last quote was a good one or a bad one?)

Anyway, as I’ve stated since the dissolution, think of it as everyone is graduating from high school and getting ready to go off to different colleges. There’s no bad blood here. I’m appreciative of the brotherhood I shared with the 5 other members and I thank Mr. Kuwn-Dalini for taking me and Chris in and teaching us the promotions side of the business. I looked up to him in so many ways as well as Ced [Jemmerson] and LaJohn [Manoy], and I hope to see everyone at the top soon!

I went to a Universal Records Listening Party this past Saturday in Dallas. I just want to say that Ali & Murphy Lee of the St. Lunatics are two of the most humble dudes that you can meet. I received an advance copy of the latest UGK cd late last week and it’s a pretty good cd. You should go buy it as it came out today!

I’m sitting here watching “The Insider” on television right now which I consider a “music & entertainment gossip show”. While they are talking about Usher’s marriage, Lindsey Lohan’s troubles and Vanessa Williams and ex-husband Rick Fox working together on set, I sit here and wonder....Is this my life in a few years? Now granted I’m not on their level and nor am I saying that I am, but I think anyone who thinks they could reach excessive amounts of notoriety, you have to kind of ask yourself that question. Am I ready to one day headline gossip columns? Who Knows??? But I’ll tell you this for any aspiring superstars out there....What you do in the dark, will come to light. So always consider the future when you make a decision for the present.

Sports Tidbits: Congrats to Barry Bonds for breaking the Homerun Record. Whether you hate him or love him….he broke the record. Enough Said. The Dallas Cowboys play their first pre-season game on Thursday against the 2006 NFL Champions the Indianapolis Colts. Sure most of the starters might only play a few drives and T.O. may not suit up, but I’m excited to see some football. Finally!!!!

As always, its been great being able to reveal my weekly thoughts and industry experiences through these blogs. I’m thankful of all of the emails I’ve received regarding my blog and look forward to future comments.

Stay tune....Big things in the works for CWC Entertainment Group, LLC.

What’s going on everybody, once again its Vincent Tucker here! I’m reporting for the 2nd edition of Vincent’s Corner – The Blog”. Thanks for all of the feedback on last weeks blog. All of it was positive.....to my surprise. I thought I may have said something wrong but I guess everyone pretty much agreed with everything I had to say.

If you’re new, please beware that you’re reading the weekly story of “a budding entertainment executive.” (Just like the V.Diddy comment, I didn’t make it up but I’m running with it.) This is my opportunity to let people in on my world as I try to take my company (CWC Entertainment Group, LLC.) and the promoter faction (Metro Muzik: The Union) to the next level in mainstream entertainment. Not only will I talk about things related to the music & entertainment industry but I’ll also talk about other issues & news affecting the globe including sports, movies, etc.

I want to start this week’s edition by stating a life lesson that I learned this week: If you don’t agree to disagree, then your argument is ignorant. Therefore you should not argue with idiots because nothing gets achieved.

Okay, now that I got that out of my system, I have to go to sports real quick. Let it be known that I am a huge fan of the NFL, NBA and Professional Wrestling/WWE. I watch Hockey and Baseball from time to time but not enough to consider myself a subject expert. Anyway, I want to say I am thrilled that NFL Training Camps has started back up. My favorite NFC teams are The Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers. My favorite AFC teams are The New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tennessee Titans.

I’m a huge Terrell Owens fan and I’ll defend him to the end. He’s not as bad as he’s advertised. Unfortunately, this is America and we don’t give people chances here! Right now, I’ll go on record and say the Dallas Cowboys will go 11-5 this year and win the NFC East. I’ll go more in details about the Cowboys and this season in the up coming weeks.

Is Michael Vick Guilty? I don’t know. If you look at the protestors outside the courthouse and the Falcons Training camp and you would think he was. Everybody is trying to give Vick the chair and his trial hasn’t even started yet! Personally, I think PETA is focused on making an example out of Vick. I just don’t think that Vick is the Ring Leader. I mean sure he owns the house but because of his commitments to the Falcons, isn’t he in Atlanta 6,7,8 months of the year? I would imagine that it’s kind of hard to run a Dog Fighting League in Virginia from Atlanta and still focus on playing football in the NFL.

Similar to 2Pac’s trial in 1994, I think Vick is more in trouble for being “in concert with some guys.”

Does Vick own the house? Yes

Does he/has he lived there? I’m 99.9% sure he hasn’t.

Does he run the Dog Fighting League at his house? I don’t think he does.

Did he know this was taking place at the house? ………………

I think this is where Vick gets in trouble. While I don’t think he was in charge of the Dog Fighting, I do believe that he knew about it and possibly gambled on it as well. If anything, the guys in the house ran the league. Therefore......I think Vick should only be in trouble for being “in concert with some guys.”

As I learned with the Chris Benoit Double Murder-Suicide a few weeks back, you don’t know what your favorite athlete, actor, model, teacher does once their in private. I’m not even a fan of Michael Vick so I’m surprised that I’m even attempting to defend him. But I believe in innocent before proven guilty. I think we’ve all had a situation where we got blamed for something only for it to come out it wasn’t your fault. This should be the time everyone remembers that moment and remember that Michael Vick’s trial isn’t until November 26th. Don’t Pass Judgment Until The Judge Does.

I can’t wait to hear the feedback on this one. I didn’t mean to have Michael Vick dominate my blog but now I think I know how Roger Goodell and the NFL feels. Next week I promise to take it back to business and let everyone know about the latest with me, CWC Entertainment Group, LLC and Metro Muzik: The Union.
I’ll see y’all next week.

2007-07-23T15:06:00.000-05:00

What’s going on everybody? Its Vincent Tucker here. As some would call me, “Young V.Diddy Before his prime!” I just want to first say that I’m flattered by the V.Diddy name-calling sent my way over the last 11 months. It was slow as first but it seems to have picked up a lot of stem since early April. Not really sure about the increased pace in being referred to that but I’m not complaining. I take it that people are catching on and really appreciate what I’m trying to do for North Texas thru my company, CWC Entertainment Group, LLC or the burgeoning Hip-Hop Promoter Faction, Metro Muzik: The Union.

It's about 2:30 AM. The past 7 days has been interesting and I'd thought I'd share some light on it. Last Saturday, I was invited to take part in the taping of 360 D Radio, which is an online talk radio show that talks about local and national hip-hop news as well as playing local music as well. I started listening to the show a few months back and for the most part, I became hooked to listening to the show, Monday thru Friday after my lunch break (around 1pm if you care.) So naturally it felt kind of surreal to be asked to participate in a show that I listen to on the regular.

The show is helmed by Jam Renaissance, who is actually a high school teacher in the day time. The show is normally taped on Saturdays and chopped up into different segments to last the week. He says just does it for fun but I think he plans on making it out to be something big and I think he should. The show grows day to day and its need here in Dallas. (By the way if I haven’t mentioned it already, you can listen/subscribe to the show for FREE at www.360DRadio.com. Okay Jam, there goes your free plug, where’s the check? Just Kidding…..I think.) Anyway be sure to check it out as I was featured on the show this past week and this coming week as well. (Yeah, two whole weeks of V.Diddy!)

On Tuesday, we let everyone know that we were promoting a concert for Houston Legend Chalie Boy & Da Ryno at Club Nairobi’s in Dallas on July 28th. These two are part of The Whut It Dew Family that also includes Magno (formerly of Swisha House) and World-Renowed Mixtape DJ Rapid Ric. It will be a live show and if you’re in the area, be sure to check it out. Call the Metro Muzik Hotline 972.897.2086.

Wednesday (7/18) was a gift & a curse. I found out that The Source Magazine™ Unsigned Hype Showcase that I was supposed to co-host yesterday (7/21) was pushed back to August 18th. The showcase was supposed to come to four cities this week including San Antonio (7/19), Austin (7/20), Houston (7/22). The organizer for the Texas Swing of the Tour was inundated with plenty of requests so he moved it back. We’re supposed to now be handling the Dallas part, so if you’re an emerging Rapper or Dime Piece Model, call us for details on how to get down with the showcase and be featured in future editions of the magazine. (Hotline 972.897.2086)

Still on Wednesday, we found out that we’re being asked to co-promote The Ozone Magazine™ Model Search After Party on July 27th. Set to take place at M5 in Dallas, its going to feature performances from Dallas/Fort Worth’s best artists. You need to be there, plus its Ozone Magazine™! (Visit www.urbansouth.us for more details).

Thursday (7/19), I had an organization ask about helping promote The 1st Annual High School Hip-Hop Showcase™ debuting Fall 2008. Expect to hear some news shortly.

Friday (7/20), We rolled out The 2nd Annual CWC Entertainment Group Back to School Drive benefiting underprivileged youth at the Buckner’s Children home in Dallas. We don’t want your money…..we want you to give school supplies. Notebook paper, Pencils, Pen, Rulers etc. You name it, we need it. The cost of school supplies goes up every year and schools now are asking parents to provide items the school used to provide. Parents already struggling to feed and clothe their children now have to shell out an additional $20 to $40 to get these extra supplies. We’re trying to ease the burden. Visit our website (www.citywideonline.net) for more details. It ends August 6th.

Saturday, I went to a Victory Entertainment Party. Yeah, I went to a competitor’s event! But I’ve known the promoter (Dro) long before I got in the music scene, like back in 2003. But anyway, it was a jamming party. If you never been to a Victory event, you need to go. Good music, good party people, a good time. Keep up the good work bro!

Well as I type this, I’m bracing for the week ahead. Tonight, like just about every Sunday Night, I’ll be co-hosting “The Union”, an organized Open-Mic put together by Mr. Kuwn-Dalini about 3 years ago. The rest of the week……Let’s just say that I’ll be busy! At times, I feel like I’m doing too much but I still have to keep moving. I’ll probably go into more details on the next blog.

This was fun. I don’t know where I was apprehensive about doing this but I think I’m getting hooked! I promised next blog I won’t be so long winded. Before I go, shout out to all of the 2800 MySpace Friends I have. I started my page about 15 months ago. I’m a little of 13,000 views. I can’t complain. Its not like I’m Diddy or somebody but it’s impressive compared to people at my level and lower. By the way – If you’re a rapper and I have more views and hits then you....step your game up. MySpace is for artists. Take advantage and promote it right. A&R’s do pay attention to MySpace. So make sure your page is in tip-top shape. Make it look like you’ve already sold 500,000 cds when you really only sold 500. Image is everything – Remember That!

Alright so I’m out. R.I.P. Tiffany Tenile Tucker (4/16/1985 – 1/1/1993) We love you and we miss you. I'll see y'all next week
