Is Diddy Hip-Hop’s Ultimate Businessman?

by Chantal Borgella March 29th, 2012 @ 9:19am

Every year, Diddy manages to surpass himself by accomplishing more achievements. Whether it is his routine change in names, promoting his successful Ciroc Vodka brand, or just the signing of talented artists, Diddy kept his promise from way back when he said, “I thought I told you that we won’t stop.”

This go ’round, Diddy has launched his latest venture, Revolt in partnership with Comcast. I can give credit to Diddy because I remember when I was nine years old, all the way back in ’96, my first cassette tape was 112′s “Only You.” And to see his growth in a little over 15 years is remarkable. Not many have remained relevant for so long, but Diddy has managed to go beyond his once quoted rap lyrics, “10 years from now, we’ll still be on top.”

When many past entertainers manage to die off, every year Diddy creates a new project that the public is enthused to see evolve from an idea in his well-coifed head to a mega-million dollar venture. Diddy sets platforms, not only for his family, but for the world to see as an inspiration. Despite his setbacks of the past – from Biggie’s senseless murder, to the club shooting with J.Lo and Shyne, to the fact that many of his past acts were dissatisfied with their business dealings at Bad Boy Records – you have to give credit to the man for giving people a chance to grow from their experiences, as well as a way to make money and build a name for themselves.

I am excited to see where Revolt will lead the new generation. With the success of reality television shows (which are the major causes of music video absenteeism on MTV and now, barely, on BET and VH1), Diddy promises that the new channel, Revolt, will fuse artists, social media, real time content, and cutting edge technology. I know that I, personally, am ecstatic to see the TV listing when Revolt does go nationally.

With this latest power move, Diddy made have proved that he is BEYOND an ultimate businessman. Bad Boy Records, Sean John Clothing, Ciroc Vodka, TV | Music | Movie Producer, Owner of Justin’s Restaurant, and now Revolt Television Network.

“Take that. Take that.”

MBINU ZA KUMFIKISHA MWANAMKE MWENYE MAKALIO MAKUBWA KILELENI KWA HARAKA

Kwa kawaida wanawake wanafikia kilele (mwisho wa utamu wa ngono) kati ya dakika ishirini na saa moja, yaani kwa kifupi inawachukua muda mrefu sana hali inayopelekea mpenzi mvivu kuchoka na ufanyaji wake utakuwa wa “ovyo” hali itakayo kufanya wewe kuishiwa na hamu ya kuendelea. Pamoja na kuchelewa huko ambako kunatokana na utofauti wetu kati ya mwanaume na mwanamke lakini nakumbuka hapo nyuma nilikutana na wanawake 2 waliokuwa ndani ya ndoa na wamezaa lakini hawajawahi kabisa kujua utamu wa tendo hilo alimaharufu kama “kufanya mapenzi”. Natambua kuwa ni ngumu au niseme si wanawake wote ambao wamejaaliwa kimaumbile kwamba wanafanikiwa kufika kileleni zaidi ya mara mbili kila wanapofanya mapenzi/ngono (kumbuka ni kati ya dakika 15 na saa moja hivyo Jibaba hapa awe na uwezo wa kujizuia kwa zaidi ya dk 45) na ikiwa jamaa ni “mzamiaji” basi unaweza ukaondoka na goli 3 ktk mzunguuko mmoja. Lakini kwa nini basi baadhi yao tu ndio wafike kileleni na wengine was...

Mushikiwabo to UN: Enhance civilian protection

By Eugene Kwibuka Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation has urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to invest more energy in the prevention of conflicts for better protection of civilians living in conflict-torn areas. Rwanda’s Foreign minister, Louise Mushikiwabo Louise Mushikiwabo made the call during an open debate on the protection of civilians in armed conflict which the UNSC held in New York on Tuesday. “Rwanda’s core message today is that enhancing the protection of civilians in armed conflict requires action before a conflict starts. The proliferation of non-state armed groups makes civilian protection both more urgent, and harder to achieve,” she said. For better protection of civilians in armed-conflict areas, the minister emphasised the need to increase investments in professionalising the military and police forces through adequate training. “Only when the leadership of armed forces shares the international...
