Chicos is an influential man in the SoCal scene.
He can and will arrange a meeting if Joe's down.

Joe, I hope you make it big.
You need better (and more) clothes to fill up that closet! lol :)
cool stuff. its nice to see a ball player have interest in things other than just his sport.
This is like me, all 5'11" and white, wanting to be a professional basketball player.

I don't understand what you mean.
Joe is not exactly the polar opposite of the music producers of this generation.
Is it 1960 with that comment? ?-(

Where you assume racism I think that he was referring to the fact that Joe is an amature producer that has access to the kind of high-quality equipment that would have been cost prohibitive to anybody but studios as recently at 10 years ago.
Troll elsewhere please.
I was referring to muballer 's comment. It is simply ignorant to bring race into it at all. Still, most of today's good producers of pop music are African American.
The analogy he attempted to make was pretty clear, but miles off.

Rob Frozena?
Butchdyke Badger again proving his worth. ::)
To hear a young African American say he wants to be a music producer is the same thing as a young, undersized, white kid wanting to be a NBA basketball player. They are both glamorous, desirable positions with prohibitively high barriers to entry. I'm not one to step on dreams, but I stopped trying for the NBA at 14.
I don't see how that is racist at all, but alright then....
GOT IT...thought you were going in a different direction. My apologies
Hey Ziggy are you on that search committee? :-*

You aren't alone in your misreading of this.
Not sure why it mattered that you were a White kid muballer10.
that is the trip up.
I don't really see what's so prohibitive about it. There are only 450 roster spots in the NBA, but the music biz isn't what it used to be, and marketing music isn't like it was 20 years ago either. If you have the gear, and the ear for it, you can produce professional, studio quality stuff and market it yourself nowadays.

+1. Easier today. Also, unlike the music production biz, not many physical attributes required. If he ahas an ear for music and a desire, he could easily achieve it.
And I still owe Derek Harper for ruining my NBA aspriations. I am sure it had nothing to do with my lack of speed, quickness or talent. >:(
