Book excerpt: From A to Zay: The Indie Guide to Music Production is years of successes and failures, and how you can duplicate the things I did right and avoid the things I did wrong. Let's get ready to go down the list of everything you need to know about music production (and perhaps life) from A to Zay. - Xavier Dotson The whole key to Xavier's success, besides the obvious (God, faith, family) has always been his consistency to keep creating, whether that's making beats, writing hooks, scoring films or coming up with ideas to further promote something he is involved in. Most people want the fame and the trappings of success without sacrificing anything. In this business or in anything you do, there's a price to pay to get what you want. Whatever is easy usually doesn't have a whole lot of value to it; anybody can have it. The key is to take the smallest of action steps every day and God will put the right people and situations in your life to get you to your destiny. Let me repeat that. Work on something every single day that will bring you closer to your goal. Stop wondering what you can do and start acting. Start acting like the person you want to be and you will become that person. My story is about having a vision. My hope is for you to discover your gifts, focus on them and work until something magical happens. Vision, writing it down and working hard and letting God do the rest. His name alone sets the tone for who he is, what he does and the magnitude of his skill set. Super-producer Xavier "Zaytoven" Dotson copped his name from the German composer and pianist Ludwig van Beethoven because of the many similarities the two musicians share. Both were born in Germany, both mastered the organ and piano at a young age, both boast a genuine interest in music and most notably possessed the same good foresight to align themselves with key people who could help further their careers. For Beethoven it was the dignitaries of Vienna, for Zaytoven it was Gucci Mane, king of the streets of east Atlanta."
Download or read book The Mirage written by Zay N. Smith and published by Random House (NY). This book was released on 1979 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published two years after their award-winning newspaper series, this is the compelling, day-by-day account of two Sun-Times reporters who infiltrated the small businessman's world to expose corruption within the Chicago government. Zekman and Smith bought The Mirage tavern, then sat back and recorded the parade of city inspectors, liquor vendors, tradesmen, and others with their sticky fingers extended. With evidence in hand, they shut down the bar and wrote a series of articles that have never been matched in intensity and long-term effect. The Mirage became synonymous with Chicago corruption. The journalistic accolades also flowed in, but the Zekman and Smith's bid for the biggest-the Pulitzer Prize-was torpedoed, perhaps by jealous colleagues at another major metropolitan paper. This edition includes a new afterword by the authors.

Download or read book Styling Texts written by Cynthia G. Kuhn and published by Cambria Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering a variety of genres and periods from medieval epic to contemporary speculative fiction, Styling Texts explores the fascinating ways in which dress performs in literature. Numerous authors have made powerful-even radical-use of clothing and its implications, and the essays collected here demonstrate how scholarly attention to literary fashioning can contribute to a deeper understanding of texts, their contexts, and their innovations. These generative and engaging discussions focus on issues such as fashion and anti-fashion; clothing reform; transvestism; sartorial economics; style and the gaze; transgressive modes; and class, gender, or race "passing." This is the first academic volume to address such an extensive range of texts, inviting consideration of how fashionable desires and concerns not only articulate the aesthetics, subjectivities, and controversies of a given culture, but also communicate across temporal and spatial divisions. Styling Texts is an essential resource for anyone interested in the artistic representations and significations of dress.

Download or read book The Politics of Apoliticism written by James Herbst and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1942, the dictatorial regime of occupied France held a show trial that didn‘t work. In a society from which democratic checks and balances had been eliminated, under a regime that made its own laws to try its opponents, the government‘s signature legal initiative – a court packed with sympathetic magistrates and soldiers whose investigation of the defunct republic‘s leaders was supposed to demonstrate the superiority of the new regime – somehow not only failed to result in a conviction, but, in spite of the fact that only government-selected journalists were allowed to attend, turned into a podium for the regime‘s most bitter opponents. The public relations disaster was so great that the government was ultimately forced to cancel the trial. This catastrophic would-be show trial was not forced upon the regime by Germans unfamiliar with the state of domestic opinion; rather, it was a home-grown initiative whose results disgusted not only the French, but also the occupiers. This book offers a new explanation for the failure of the Riom Trial: that it was the result of ideas about the law that were deeply imbedded in the culture of the regime’s supporters. They genuinely believed that their opponents had been playing politics with the nation’s interests, whereas their own concerns were apolitical. The ultimate lesson of the Riom Trial is that the abnegation of politics can produce results almost as bad as a deliberate commitment to stamping out the beliefs of others. Today, politicians on both sides of the political spectrum denounce excessive polarization as the cause of political gridlock; but this may simply be what real democracy looks like when it seeks to express the wishes of a divided people.
Download or read book Luvin a Young Ratchet City Boss written by Renessa D Jackson and published by Allure Productions LLC. This book was released on 2024-07-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raylexia embodies the essence of an older sister: stunning, intelligent, and determined. Despite her impressive qualities, she bears the heavy burden of a mother more interested in the streets than in her children. With her siblings now depending entirely on her, Raylexia navigates the relentless challenges of growing up in the hood, balancing school, work, and caregiving with unwavering purpose. Life takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Zylar, a charismatic and influential street general. Zylar opens the door to a world she never imagined, one filled with both allure and danger. Raylexia finds herself irresistibly drawn to him, entangled in a romance that deepens with each passing day. But this new relationship comes with its own set of trials and emotional distractions, pulling her deeper into the gritty realities of street life. Then, unexpectedly, Daylon—a young boss who has always been a pillar of support in her life—reappears, igniting sexual urges that leave her completely confused. Daylon has always been there for Raylexia, but their substantial age difference had kept her from seeing him as anything more than a friend. Now, with Zylar's world threatening to consume her, Daylon's reappearance forces Raylexia to confront feelings she never acknowledged. As Raylexia strives to stay true to herself, she must also support her siblings and pursue her dreams of a better future. The tension between her aspirations and Zylar's conflicting passions, along with the relentless pull of the streets, grows ever more intense. She is torn between the dangerous allure of Zylar and the steadfast support of Daylon. Can she rise above the environment she fights so hard to escape, resolve her situation with Zylar, and figure out her true feelings for Daylon? This gripping tale explores themes of love, loyalty, and the struggle to overcome one's circumstances, posing the ultimate question: can Raylexia transcend the very world that threatens to consume her, and will she choose the path of selfish indulgence with Zylar or the promise of both overwhelming passion and stability with Daylon?
