02/07: Funny Stuff from Roger Friedman
Readers of Bad Boy Blog are familar with Fox News' Roger Friedman. Friedman seems to take some sort of pleasure in taking inaccurate, unfounded shots at Bad Boy and the performance of the label. So, it's no shock when he says
this:
This will go nicely with the 2005 purchase of Bad Boy Entertainment, Sean "Diddy" Combs’ former empire, after it stopped having hits of any kind.
Of course, I've
already crushed that position.
But, here's the good part. Here is what he was speaking in reference to (i.e. what it would go nicely with):
The good news is that Warner has just made an offer to buy the assets of Death Row Records for $25 million, including catalogs from Tupac Shakur and the Notorious BIG. They have no sense that this music is over, filed away in the early '90s. The "songs" included on the CDs are by and large not possible to re-record ("cover") by modern artists because they aren’t songs.
Emphasis mine. Death Row owns a Biggie catalog? That's news to me. Friedman strikes again!
