AKA Stays Because Of Adam Kidron and UBO Pay Day.
Playwright turned Websmith Randy Wiener partnered with Stuart Hirsch to start Internet Music Corporation. Their flagship product AKA.com had hip hop websites signing up for the chance to be tied to record-industry style life-time contracts, give their content away for free, and make their sites billboards for AKA's unfilled ad inventory.

Act I: The Merchant of Venice

AKA is telling potential investors and partners that they will be profitable by the second quarter of 2001. This projection is based solely on their only source of income: Urban Box Office. UBO pays AKA $150,000 a month guaranteed to buy out their ad inventory. AKA in turn promises them between 1 and 2 million ad impressions a month. This has AKA counting on annual revenue of $1.8 million. UBO has decided to channel money into a company that provides some competition to one of their own offerings: SOHH.

Act II: Taming Of The Shrew

AKA was not able to generate any sizable revenues or advertising relationships before their life-saving UBO deal. Even at the reduced salaries they were paying employees, they couldn't support 50 people. To further ensure profitability they had to fire 50% of the staff. In order to make the impression mark for the UBO money, AKA began to put ads in every conceivable place. AKA now runs redundant banners at the top and bottom of every page they can fit it.

Act III: King Lear

With Randy Weiner, the Andrew Lloyd Weber of the Chelsea set, at the helm of AKA; could an off-Broadway show network be far away? We can't wait to see a hub linking Randy's derivative The Donkey Show with The Mumenchanz. The Donkey Show is Randy's crowning achievement. It's basically a 70's reunion at a nightclub with a funk compilation playing in the background while waiters repeat lines from Shakespeare.

AKA is trying to expand its business model to include pop culture affiliate sites to augment music affiliates hubs. It's similar to WebRings on steroids. Even after the expansion into different musical genres with help from Tommy Boy (Dance) and Mega Communications (Latin), AKA has difficulty selling ads on it's network or syndicating content. They are about to launch AKAWWF and AKAPokemon. Hopefully stringing along hobby shrines to Chynna and Pikachu will bring in increased traffic so that they can run their most common advertisement; an ad that asks for you to buy ads:



Act IV: The Tempest

Stuart Hersh, CEO, is a powerful man who made his fortune ironically in exercise videos and exotic chocolates. Hersh is an old school style executive who believes in ignoring employees and resolving conflicts and disappointment with yelling and insults. Hersh is responsible for millions of dollars of exercise videos that were sold and are gathering dust on bookshelves across the country. With all his contacts in the filmed entertainment and confection industries, the best relationship on the table for generating revenue was for AKA to do a website for Russell Simmons One World TV Show. Stuart often hires people to sit at computers all day and pretend to work when potential investors come by to make the place look like it has a full staff.

Act V: Othello

AKA is actually the brainchild of Loud Records coffee-getter and HTML tag hag Chris Sealy. It was Chris who originally thought-up the idea after months of using platform.net. He let Randy Weiner take credit for his idea in exchange for an intern of his own and a far off chance to publish a magazine. Chris didn't even have an employment contract until he remember to ask for one after half the staff was fired. Chris wants to publish a magazine called Loophole, which possibly will be the worst name for a magazine ever.

See you at Whitespace; we needed to stock up on those blackplanet.com t-shirts.

It seems that AKA is as successful with the web as Loud is at selling records lately.

It's a perfect case of "Getting Caught Up In My Own Hustle".

They should have kept Ola Kudu. But then again they probably have a deep FEAR OF A BLACK PLANET!

15 cents per impression?? are you sure about that cause a $150 CPM is outstanding, shit all these content sites would be profitable if they were getting a $150 CPM. If that's the case UBO is the one that is the sucker for paying 15k for 100k impressions.

whoooooooooo *in a rick flair voice*

oh and my previous post was quoting this (in case crispus edits it or something):

<< UBO only has to part with .15 cents per ad impression a month which, if you subtract the amount of time AKA's ad servers are down and their affiliates reload their own webpages to drive up hit counts, the deal would only cost UBO about $15,000 dollars." >>

I think he meant .15 cents, not 15 cents per impression. And as usual the stats are pulled out of the air, because to calculate aka's total ad impressions you have to add up the impressions for all 800 or so affiliates. And what in the hell does "per ad impression per month" mean? Two more innacurate figures are that aka cut half the staff and that there were less than twenty employees left. AKA went from 65 employees to around 45.

oh ok i didn't even notice that there wasn't a dollar sign ($) in front of the 0.15.

damn so aka gets a $1.50 CPM from ubo. then they split that 1.50 w/ their affiliates. *rolls eyes* they are really big time suckers, then.

i don't know who's dumber aka for giving away their ad inventory for a $1.50 cpm or their affiliates for getting locked in w/ a company that will be splitting a $1.50 cpm w/ them.

<<And as usual the stats are pulled out of the air, because to calculate aka's total ad impressions you have to add up the impressions for all 800 or so affiliates.>>

that's not hard to do. most ad management software can track impressions across a network of sites.

doubleclick (whom we use for 3rd party representation) tracks stats and sells ads for a network of over 12k sites.

The last couple times I've viseted sites with AKA ad banners the AKA content has been missing... replaced with a blank "ad banner script". This had me laughing my ass off... gone were the ads featuring the animated Heather Hunter and other "hot" UBO properties... the only ad content that seemed to be working was that placed by the web-sites themselves. I think AKA might allready be on the ropes.

Congratulations again UBO for your incredible ability to waste millions of dollars while never generating any content for your own web-sites!

I already see it now.

Now that it is legal to sign documents electronically over the web starting today I see AKA setting up some type of strategy where they basically take over every hip-hop website that is a member of AKA just like how artists usually sign away their lives just like record contracts.

This would be a Steven Rifkind dream if he could control all these websites. I'm sure that he would jack off all over himself real slow in order to marinate on such a envisioned dream. Just don't let two Jews come together and discuss this matter anytime soon or just like how the general music industry has been built, they will control it all through their clever aned slickness via papers with ink on them.

BEWARE ALL AFFILIATES, you are now entering the real world where things that you electronically sign or email may become binding.

Jump ship from AKA ASAP.........mayday....mayday...........I repeat....jump ship as soon as you can before it's too late!

It would be madd interesting if Suge Knight had his eyes on AKA. I think that although everyone is fearful of this Death Row Gangsta from the real streets it would be interesting to see him fuck with the AKA joint and stir some shit up.

Hopefully this message captures his eyes or someone in the industry that knows him personally. Taking over AKA would be one of the most interesting thing that Suge could do.

And although I am not a fan of Suge Knight I must say that it was pretty interesting how all the Major Jews in the music industry were totally fearful of this cat. Although I don't support some, or should I say in most part, most of Suge Knight's ways and actions, I must give him credit for being a brotha who stood up for his and never turned into a Jewish Executive Ass kisser like Russell Simmons or Puffy. It's unfortunate about all the previous stuff with that cat and the events that took place with BIG and TUPAC, but I guess he layed out his own blankets. I hope by God that he learned his lesson. Hopefully when he gets out of jail he will be a changed man. Sometimes prison can make a person see the real world for what it is.

So in actuality it's kinda good to see shit get stirred up a bit in an effort to see change. I bet you that if Suge Knight owned AKA I bet you that at least all the affiliates would get paid more than what they're getting now, which is probably nuthin.

AKA should be ran by a brotha anyways as far as I'm concerned cause people of color owning hip-hop is like the Jews owning Jerusalem. I'm just tired of seeing all these Jewish cats owning our shit and STEVEN RIFKIND is the biggest culprit of them all. All he does is use blacks and people who are hip to the streets in order to gain hip-hop/street smarts. He signs the best talent in order to keep the critics away by signing some of the best in order get street props in order to cloak his pimping of the hip-hop community. You will never see that cat in the hood. Think about it!


(I know you like a book Steven Rifkind, and I know you're wondering just who the hell I am....well lemme give ya a 10 clues....


______________________________


<b>Top 10 Reason Not To Work For Steven Rifkind:</b>

1. Personally he doesn't mix with our culture.

2. You'll become VP of some position with a minimum wage salary doing 10 duties like the Jamaican who was on Livin' Color.

3. Steven Rifkind will never give blacks a share stake in his company even if they do pour sweat and blood in building up Loud Records.

4. He'll never give you credit and paid for what you're worth. Ask Bill "Bigga B" Operin, or Trevor Williams (who originally discovered the Wu-Tang Clan but never got and was brushed off back into the average world as if he never did a thing).

5. Your friends in the industry will know that you're "NOT" getting paid.

6. The whole Loud roster (i.e. Mobb Deep, Wu-Tang) will look at you crazy as if knowing that you fucked up and remain only as a interchangable pawn?

7. If you ever had an accident while doing Loud labor your mother will have to beg as if like a signed artists on the roster trying to get money to eat in order to have him contribute any money towards a funeral. (RIP Josiah, who was killed in a driveby shooting while doing street promotions for Loud Records in Los Angeles while on the 101 Freeway - true story!).

8. Looking at Steven Rifkind everday is like looking at that L.A. cat Paul Stewart who is part of that non-revenue generating dot com known as ArtistDirect.com and also is the same cat who was fired from Virgin Records about a year ago who was accused of stealing money from the label.

9. You'll find out the truth within the office about what's going on between him and his fine assistant (not his black wifey).

10. Plainly, he's just a simple arrogant bastard who never gives back to people of color and as evident as he runs his operation, he is a modern day slave owner or simply put forth the Elvis Presley of Hip-Hop.

Can't wait to see his kingdom crumble. I'll be patiently awaiting for that day to come. All kingdoms must fall.......it is written.

Peace.

Umpire of Hip Hop - I have been waiting for years to see anyone actually write those things about Loud and Steve Rifkind.

Rest in Peace Bigga B and Josiah. Peace be unto them - they are in a better place, watching the seeds they planted grow.

Since I'm using my real name here, I have to be careful BUT here's one you forgot...

11) When Big Pun died (R.I.P.), Loud changed their advertising strategy for his album. A greedy Rifkind (or an underling on his behalf) decided to rely on "guilt" - deciding they could minimize their ad budget for Pun and that all the publicitions would pub the album based solely on his untimely passing.

12) The current Prodigy vs. Xzibit dramatics. If Rifkind cared at all about people, he would simply put a call in to P and tell him that dissention within the Loud ranks is frowned upon. That would end the shit. Instead, here we go with East Coast vs. West Coast part II. Who'll die first?

p.s. P if you're reading, or if the webmaster of Infamous Stores is reading, Phil the Agony isn't biting P's style, they just have similar voices. Phil the Ag is 100% original. Oh, and by the way, please believe you ain't got no copyright on the term "Head Ni&&a in Charge" or "HNIC". Folks have been using that terminology for upwards of 30 years now. Don't be as ignorant as 'Pac was when he mistook you and Havoc for Capone and Noreaga. Mobb Deep ain't make L.A. L.A., and you shouldn't be trying to start a new beef between QB and LA.

Thank you all for listening to my diatribe.

ENUE You're an arrogant little piece of shit to be bragging about how much money you earn--you have absolutely zero class, and I can't wait for you to fall from grace cause with an attitude like yours you surely will--you're a shining example of everything that's wrong with today's culture--and I can't congratulate aka enough for firing your ass!!!!!!!!

p.s. I don't know you--but you must be gayer than a Chelsea fruithouse--cause all you keep talking about is getting bigboy on your nuts.

qwerty...i'm not braggin..i'm just stating a fact...this fool started talkin shit, sayin i got fired..when it was far from the truth....so i had to smack him with the facts, simple as that..it's the truth...if you don't like it...i don't give a fuck....it's your problem..not mine...as far as me "falling from grace"..i won't fall, cuz i've built my foundation...i'm not some clueless dotcom employee with no tangible skill set who got lucky and landed a job because the economy is booming...every job i've been at, i've played an integral part in the company...like me or not..i know what the fuck i'm doing when it comes to web design, print design, film and motion graphics, etc...my clients are more than happy with what i do for them..

..your right..you don't know me..so don't talk shit...tellin me i'm an "example of everything that wrong with today's culture"...lol..look at you tho..jumping into an issue without knowing the full details just like the media, who only report on half truths and opinions.....and on top of that making discriminating comments about gay people..i'm definitly not gay (you can ask my girlfriend)..but if i was...what would be the difference...it's like me dissing you for being black or white or asian or handicapped...discrimination against any "ism" or race is wrong, yet you do it, then tell me that i'm an example of what's wrong with society.. regardless if you were tryin to dis me or be funny...you are probably one of those closet racists...who try to be down, but in the back of your mind..you prolly have mad racial issues...like that dood in the movie office space who's bumpin geto boys in his car, g'ed out, but when the black dood walks by..he turns down the music all quick, rolls up his windows and locks his doors...your "ps" comment just proves that you are stuck in a 4th grade mentality...you might as well have just typed a mama joke...like
"your momma is so fat,the bitch's levi's aint 501's..them shits is 747's"...come on man...try a little harder...hmmm..

anyway...i think you need some sort of remedial reading classes or some help in comprehension..because if you understood what i said ...i never said "get off my nuts"..i said "get off mine"..i coulda been talkin about my shoes..haha...you are the one that's thinkin about nuts, injecting my nuts into what i type...why you thinkin about em??..you sick fuck!...freudian slip??..possibly...maybe you are the one who's a closet homo??..probably....

if that's the case..more power to you..and good luck in your travels...

oh..and why don't you use a real url, and a real e-mail address, instead of talking shit anonymously...get off that bitch shit...

ENUE-- What company do you work for? Cause I'd like to copy your email show it to your boss or clients and see what they think about a disturbed young thug like yourself. You are making a complete ASS of yourself in public! And if I was your boss and I read the crazy vituperation (you probably don't know what this word means--try using a dictionary you might learn something) spewing from your twisted mind I would definitely not want you working for me.
P.S. Everyone's glad to know you have a girlfriend. Did you ever think of having sex with her cause you need to chill?
P.P.S. Yes, I am gay, and I am proud, and I don't like being referrred to derogatorily as a "homo." And by the way, your tough guy stance I find very sexy, but I don't like men with little dicks, so I'm sorry but you're not my type.

It's taken many months, but I've finally had a strong enough reaction to one of these posts to break the ice and offer a post myself. I love this site. I knew who was behind it from day one. I know his writing style from his days a Source contributor and my days as that magazine's editor in chief. Congrats on the finest urban entertainment destination on the web thus far!

That clown "Umpire" spouted some shit about Jewish executives that really has my Jew blood boiling. I know this is a can of worms, but here goes: Realize that Jewish muthafuckas like Barry Weiss, Tom Silverman and Lyor Cohen were pioneers in this shit, and recognize that any success that comes their way is well deserved. With all propers to Sylvia and Joe Robinson of Sugarhill and Russell, the greatest rap exec of all time, if it weren't for some Jew boys like Weiss, Silverman and Rick Rubin (production genius) putting some paper down for some ghetto rap shit, rap never would have happened. I know Dumbpire was picking on Rifkind, who I don't put in the same category as these other cats. (Rifkind was frontin' in New York magazine about how much rap trivia he knew and how he could stump anyone. I'll crush him instantly.)

But these Jewish rap pioneers believed in rap when many Black record executives were looking for formulaic disco and sappy R&B.
Check Nelson Goerge's book Hip-Hop America for more persuasive points on this topic. Umpire can suck my Jewish 100% kosher salami.

I know many people in this business, and with a growing indy label in motion (Game), I've experiened first-hand many sides of this industry. There are tons of hard working and talented blacks and whites on all sides of this business. There are also tons of cornballs of all races. Good luck to everyone and go for yours! In the end, the cream (talent) rises to the top on both the business and creative sides of this business.

As far as all these websites pissing thru their capitol pursuing half-baked ideas, the irony is incredible to me. All those who got in early and looked to be best-positioned to reap the rewards of success on the web are now the biggest losers who look like total assholes. The urban entertainment space on the web is as soft as your mommy's tushy. Remember back when mp3 gave Master P millions for the download rights to nobodies like Mia X and Fiend? What a waste! Even quasi-smart people have failed on a gigantic scale! Witness DEN and now Pseudo and UBO! It's amazing. I'm an aka affiliate but I still think Napster is the only web application that delivers a true user experience.

Keep the refreshing honesty flowing on these pages. It's so entertaining.
