The legendary MC Serch interviewed T.I. on his SayNow line this morning as part of his “Inside the Business Tuesday” series for aspiring artists and producers.
Be sure to give him a ring if you want to put in your 2 cents or if you want to hear more perspectives on the ever-evolving landscape of the music industry.
Check it out. After the 2 minute mark, you can watch the boys sending a message out to their fans from their phone while shootin hoops. See, it’s not so hard :-)
Sweet. Russell from Nice Guys Finish First, recently called one of his fans back and here’s how it turned out. (Apparently she was *just* complaining about how cell phones suck before he called and has since changed her mind :-)
Nice Guys Finish First is actually just one 17 yr old guy (that would be Russell) who lives on Long Island and has built a loyal following on MySpace. In one week over 700 fans called his SayNow number and he’s responded to over 90 of them personally! Go Russell!
Here’s what Ice T said, and here’s Soulja Boy’s response (you can probably skip the stuff before 4:20…when someone tells you to go “eat a *#*” well, it’s hard to not hit back with the same, but if you get to 4:20, he makes some good points).
Check it out. We’re in this month’s issue of Seventeen Magazine. Here’s a blurb from the article…
“Everyone loves to watch and read about their favorite celebs, but only a select few have the chance to actually talk to a celebrity. That is, until SayNow, a phone service offering fans the chance to leave phone messages for their favorite celebs and hear personalized messages on everything from what’s going on in their lives to exclusive concerts and appearances.
SayNow lets you connect with big stars like Janet Jackson — who plans to keep her fans updated during her upcoming tour — as well as the Jonas Brothers, Ashley Tisdale, Jesse McCartney, and Seventeen’s July cover girl, Alicia Keys. And a few lucky fans will even get to have one-on-one convos with their favorite stars.”
For those of you who’ve been keeping up with the second season of “A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila” (which airs on Tuesdays at 10pm) Tila sent this message a couple days ago and wants to know why you guys hate Jersey, among other things…
We just got word that The Boy & His Machine are going to be launching a preview of their new song “Coming Clean” via a broadcast message on SayNow THIS WEEK, after which it’ll be available on Pure Volume. Give them a call and leave them a message if you want to be first to hear it (and if you want to hear from the band too).
They were giving them out last night and if you got this message on your phone (and you lived near Myrtle Beach), then you could have been one of the lucky ones who got to see em!
Also, Menudo’s going to be using SayNow while they’re on the road to send photos from their phones to yours.
Yep that’s right, they’re gonna be their own paparazzi…so you’ll be getting ALL your Menudo goodness STRAIGHT FROM THE SOURCE.Here’s the first pic they sent.

Jesse McCartney sent a message this morning. His new album is coming out tomorrow and it’s going to be HOT. Not only is his single “Leavin” in the Top 10 on Billboard and iTunes, but he also co-wrote Leona Lewis‘ current Top 10 hit “Bleeding Love“!

I’m obviously biased here but I think Rooney has the best album title ever. Here’s the title track which you can actually download for free if you picked up a download card at one of their shows. It’s awesome! (and that’s my non-biased voice speaking :)
