A'ight, y'all...


I'ma eat my words on that one. Plies' "Real Testament" to date, has NOT gone platinum. (Hey, these are predictions, not actual science. I can be wrong here.) He did, however, go Gold, which in today's market is an achievement in and of itself. I failed to factor in the average Plies fan, or at the very least his targeted fanbase. I think Tru Life said it best: "Make songs for the [women], that'll get you on top. Do songs for the thugs, bootleggin' won't stop." Plies' fanbase, so-called "d-boys", "thugs", "goons" or what have you, are a lot more likely to buy a bootleg of his album than the actual item itself. I'm inclined to say his followup will either match or best The Real Testament's success, but i'm not betting on the spending power of "goons" again.

MIBS is Back...

Hey everybody,

Know I haven't blogged here in quite awhile, but i'm just writing this to let everybody know that MIBS is officially back in business. See, long story short the reason I haven't been blogging much is because I didn't have a dependable online connection. Dial-up was just a pain. And in the between time, my laptop conked out on me. I've since upgraded to Hi-Speed, and fixed my laptop (bought a new motherboard and installed it myself, so yeah, i'm da man!) so now you can expect to see me updating the place more regularly now and into the near future.

STAY TUNED!!!
-Doc
