UPDATE FROM THE CEO pt 3

I just got word that Longtime Waiting is no longer a group and the drummer is in a new group. Not sure where that leaves me in the skeem of things. Guess I'm just a hip hop label now lol.

I just brought on a new hip hop group called Famouz. Its 2 rappers, a dj and a dj/producer from inglewood. They have great chemistry and I'm excited to take them to the next level. Their first show is jan. 3rd at the celebrity center in hollywood. Come support

Precyse is about to start recording. I'm giving her 3 months to turn in her mixtape.

I haven't been recording but I'm planning on it. And I'm still learning the guitar.

I haven't talked to Yung City in awhile, I need to hit him up.

The new year is coming and I'm excited. Best Sundays will be back and the "A Man Apart" mixtape is gonna be fire

I've been trying to start a hip hop band. It was going great then hit a wall. I'll keep you posted on that.

I've been in the studio lately, just kinda getting that vibe back. Getting the urge again. Felt great. Makes me want to get back on my shit on the business and artist side.

Stay tuned...

West Coast is the Best Coast

UPDATE!! from the CEO

Ok so its time for an update. Our rock show, B.U.R.N. (Best Underground Rock Network) went terrible and we made no money. The next week, last sunday was Best Sundays for september. So much time was spent working on the rock show that Best Sundays kinda got put on the back burner, it didn't go that well either. It was coo' but financially it was ass. Now the company is beyond broke. A break is being made for now to restructure and pay bills.

There will be no best coast events in october but C. Versy has a show on the 17th at The Airliner in L.A. and Longtime Waiting has a show on the 9th at the Palmer Room in west la. Check the myspace to get info on those, myspace.com/bestcoastent

The website is being worked on as we speak so that will be up in a month. The dvd mag is just waiting to be edited for the first issue. C. Versy is working on the mixtape and getting his own live band.

Precyse is in school, no work is being done with her at this moment but she's still down.

M dot had a great performace at Best Sundays for sept. He really stepped it up from the Shark Club show from the last entry. Yay for him! Hope to have the video from that up soon.

All in all, we're moving and trying to adjust to this bullshit economy but I promise you we are here to say or my name isn't Lyric Da God!

BEST COAST ENT is in Costa Mesa!

Peace. Its ya boy Lyric Da God, Best Coast H.N.I.C.

Tonight myself, L-A, Best Coast artist M dot, and dancer Mykel are in Costa Mesa for M dot's performance at Shark Club tonight opening up for Willie from Bad Boy's Day 26. First off, welcome to cali M dot. We at L-A's friends house eating, drinking, and smoking...and I don't mean cancer sticks. Can't think of a better pre show celebration.

Earlier today I got to see L-A and Mykel practice their dance routine for tonights show. L-A put the routine together 3 days...the shit looked like he took a whole making the band season. That's why I love my team

M dot has been in LA 8 days and already he's opening up for major artist with a full production, not just him and a mic. That's why I love my team

We are actually working towards making this a career and not just something "we did as a hobby". You gotta have a strong team around you.

I'm gonna continue this later on after the show is over. TO BE CONTINUED....

------------------------------

Aight, I'm back. At home at this point. Before we left to go to the club, we all sat around and played Rockband on xbox360. That is officially MY SHIT! I rocks out with my cock out. Later on Mdot, L-A and Mykel ran through the routine. When we got to the club, the promoter was being a dick and not answering my questions. I couldn't get "yes" or "no" answers from any1 at the club all night. Man I hate "fuck boys" and dick heads and thats what they were. Dope ass club tho. We were in the smaller room with the smaller stage. The dj took up most of the space sadly so the dance routine had to be re thought out. Club was big and had alot of people. Mostly well dressed.

M dot's performance was a good one given the circumstances like sound and a dj that wouldn't stop scratching over his music. We didn't ask him to do that, he just volunteered and it was annoying. The fellas did they thing tho. The room was kinda empty when he started and packed by the end. I didn't hear one bad thing about his performance. After he was done, he walked through the crowd and campaigned lol. Shook hands, kissed some babies, all that shit. Naw, I'm playing but he did mingle and pass out contact info. And we all sat down after and went over the good and bad of the show, what needs to change, etc. That man is gonna do something special in this game we call music. Look out for him myspace.com/mdotthegreat4

Until next time, PEACE!

THIS IS WHY LONGTIME WAITING IS THE GREATEST BAND EVER....By Lyric Da God

Ok, so last night Best Coast superband Longtime Waiting had a show at The Palms in west hollywood. 1st off, know that I'm am not a rock enthusiast but I know great music when I hear it, hence my desire to work with these guys.

So, we get to the club and its small as shit. I knew this already from when I performed there but it seemed smaller. Anyway, they were suppose to perform at 9 but the all the acts that were suppose to go on before them either didn't show up or just didn't go on yet. So LTW, who showed up on time, gets asked to go on first which isn't a problem for them. The club is empty when I get there but LTW's fans fill the place up. The asshole who was suppose to be taking money for everyone at the door is walking around taking pictures and shit instead of keeping count. So from this point on, I'm going to refer to him as FUCK BOY. FUCK BOY isn't doing his job, then the stage is so small that the drummer has to setup his drums in front of the stage. You know how many bands would've been like "fuck it, I can't do it, there's no room" and blah blah blah. But no, these cats are fucking professionals! Then when they get playing, the mic sound isn't quite right, but they keep playing and the sound man eventually gets it.

This is how hard they rock, I'm standing still in front of the band and I'm sweating....how ridiculous is that? I'm looking around the room and all I see are people who came to see the band. I don't actually own any rock albums, I bump shit like Nirvana, Fred Durst, Linkin Park, Blink 182 but I don't actually own the album. I'm putting my stamp on Longtime Waiting, when their album comes out, go out and buy that shit!

Oh, and eric has longtime waiting graphics on his guitar, I thought that was kick ass. Danny gave me the ill shout out. I asked people who didn't come there for the band what they thought and they loved it.

Look out for a blog from the band in the next day or so. I'm out, I'm about to go work out to their demo (no homo)

LONGTIME WAITING!!!

Precy$e the emcee

Let's see....I'm finally legal and i don't know what to do with myself....I'm really just trying to focus on this music thing...while planning to attend school in the fall...in the past up until this point I've done a lot of talent shows in my neck of the woods and I've gotten so much love and respect...it feels good honestly...just to have kids come up to you and say I saw you at that show the other day...you tight...and that's what keeps me goin'...so that's why I'm here now. Ever since I was young music has always been my passion...I've pursued every aspect of music but singing, and I'm actually pretty good at that too..lol...so this point in my life I'm hoping to do so much more by any means necessary...I had someone tell me that the industry never sleeps...well that's something I'd love to be a part of and experience....tours, fans, late night recording sessions, in store appearances....i want it all... so I'mma just put it in god's hands and give 110% and not let anyone get in my way.....

LA's Best Post


What's good. This be ya dude LA giving you the BEST POST. As the newcomer to Best Coast Entertainment, I'm providing a lot of skills and brains to this monster. We ain't going nowhere but up if I have anything to do with it... ya feel me???

Now let me tell you about LA. My full name is Lamar Alexander and I hail from the midwest... Indianapolis, IN to be exact. I was born and raised there and after graduating from North Central High School I went to Ball State University for two years. There I studied Music Engineering Technology with a minor in Computer Science. I was a member of the Ball State University Singers and I started a new dance group called OUTLET. (Yes ya boy dances... and I be doin it well!) I transfered to Berklee College of music where I studied Music Writing and Production and Music business and I earned a bachelor's degree in Professional Music. I found myself in LA because of Berklee, and it's been a whirlwind since I stepped foot in the west.


I'm focused. Get to know me now. Cuz soon enough we all will be reminiscing about when we had to work a day job and live pay check to pay check. Best Coast's contributions to the music industry and the LA music scene will be like none other. As Best Sundays (every 3rd Sunday night of every month at The Palmer Room in West LA...$10 in advance, $15 at the door...no flip-flops, basketball shorts or men's tank tops...lol) continue to grow don't sleep on what Best Coast is doing in between time. Watch how we unite the game with dope events, live performances and philanthropic and charity endeavors of giving back to our community.


I think that's enough said for tonight. Keep a look out for another BEST POST coming soon. Enjoy Best Sundays. This one's gonna be a hot one!!!

first name: Contro, last name: Versy

What's good? It's ya BEST friend C. Versy checking in. The C stands for contro. The name was something I thought of at 17 sitting in my chair in my room in front of my turntables. I was going by the name YoLege (young knawlege) at the time and I came up with an idea of doing a mixtape of split personalities and battles with myself. So I'm sitting thinking of a name of my opposite who I could battle. As YoLege, I rapped about deep shit and struggles. As C. Versy I just talked shit. Its important to me that you say "dot" after the C because then you get it as first name: Contro, last name: Versy.

I loved to talk shit about everyone in high school. I never held my tongue. I wasn't liked much lol. I wasn't the cool kid but i wasn't the uncool kid either. Get it? So as a grown man, C "dot" Versy represents that person who says whats needed to be said without holding his tongue. Expect to always get it real when you hear me....Word!

I pride myself on attention to lyrics. My songs are a cohesive thought from beginning to end. Even if its a song about nothing, its still a blend of the same nothing that ends up being better than your song about something

My goal is the put PASADENA on the map, blow up doing something I love, and make money off skills

Look out for me at every open mic in and around LA and at a venue near you. I'm 22. I mean business. I take no prisoners on that thing we call a mic

WHO ARE WE?

We are Best Coast Entertainment. Its a company I thought up while working security in 2005. I still have the napkin I wrote the original outline on. I was a student at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA as a recording engineer. I started the company in 2006 after my 21st birthday.

As of 2008, we have a record label, promotions, event planning, and branching into film with my 1st screenplay "Lovely". The company consists of Myself, my partner Lamar, A&R Ariana and all our recording artist. Check the artist out at myspace.com/bestcoastent

I started this company because I believe the old business model is dead. Hip Hop is ran by people who have nothing to do with the culture. They are old guys in high offices who listen to the radio and think that's hip hop. Then they try to make a cookie cutter copy of the songs on the radio. That's not hip hop. But in that same sentence, I can't tell you exactly what hip hop is lol. Just know that Best Coast Ent is hip hop. I wanted to shine light on an area I'm from. That I love. That doesn't always get the best look when under the mainstream microscope. We are more than gangsta rap, more than sunset and movie stars. We are just more

We are the West Coasts voice. We are professionals with young minds. We are the best *Khaled voice* lol. I didn't start this biz without research. This company is built from the knowledge I've acquired since starting out as a 16 year old record label intern at Merlot Studio/Records and fresh new ideas I come up while doing nothing but standing around at my security day job

Look out for that infamous logo starting to appear everywhere
