STACK CACHE Radio #05: Get-Right Season (winter edition)

Salutations, and what's really good?! Can you believe we're at the end of 2006? That's bugged to say the least; time waits for no man (nor should it). Slippin into the wintry side of things, the holiday season has Stack Cache on its ultimate hustle agenda. Apparently, even the holidaze can't stop the reign of greed and "gimme" in this business (depends on how you look at it). Peep: The relentless and infamous Recording Industry Association of America is currently proceeding with a push to have copyright judges lower the royalty rate earned by songwriters and music publishers. Now, by all means, feel free to do your own research on this. But allow me to take time out to sum things up for ya. RIAA has a hardcore reputation for blaming piracy for the decline in music sales. For what it's worth, they do a great job in sticking up for the corporate "suits" in major record labels. So, according to the RIAA, when it comes to piracy, both the "little guys" (songwriters & publishers) and "suits" lose out. The association now points out that since the advent of new technologies/opportunities (i.e. ringtones), only the "suits" lose out, while the "little guy" benefits from a hike in mechanical royalties. So from the "little guy's" outlook, it seems as if the RIAA is basically saying if the "suits" can't get money, NO ONE CAN; henceforth, their push for a judicial decrease in royalty rates for songwriters & music publishers. Sounds like someone's operation is feeling a little less desired in these ever-changing days... As we proceed [please note: if it was up to the association, we most likely wouldn't be able to bring the following to you and yours, so enjoy while you can...you know the routine], STACK CACHE Radio #5: Get-Right Season (winter edition) mixed by JAEKIM gets us ready for that winter chill ahead! Bringing the tempo down just a tad, #05 is the "snuggle-up" soundtrack. It features sickness from the Coughee Brothaz (what it is Devin and Rob!), Megan Rochell, and only Stack Cache can take you from Van Hunt collaborator Count Bass D (glad you're back!) to TEGO! Stay tuned and stay focused, STACK CACHE Media & Heist185 are sneakin' through your chimney next week (MAAN hold-up!)
