Jimmy Iovine: Building Interscope Records & Beats by Dre Hotney 7 Streams • 9 months ago

Jimmy Iovine is the co-founder of Interscope Records, Beats by Dre, and the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy. Iovine is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the modern music industry.

Growing up in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, Iovine was raised in an Italian working-class family. He began working as a recording engineer in the early 1970s, and went on to engineer landmark albums including Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run and John Lennon's Rock 'n' Roll and Walls and Bridges, before transitioning into production with Patti Smith's Easter, Tom Petty's Damn the Torpedoes, Stevie Nicks' Bella Donna, and U2's Rattle and Hum.

In 1990, Iovine co-founded Interscope Records with Ted Field. Under his leadership, the label became one of the most dominant forces in popular music, launching or elevating the careers of Dr. Dre, Tupac Shakur, Nine Inch Nails, No Doubt, Eminem, 50 Cent, Lady Gaga, and Kendrick Lamar. He rose to become chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Records. In 2006, he and Dr. Dre co-founded Beats by Dre, which Apple acquired in 2014 for $3 billion — the largest acquisition in Apple's history at the time. Iovine subsequently helped launch Apple Music in 2015 before departing Apple in 2018.

His accomplishments include being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022 with the Ahmet Ertegun Award, being honored by the Recording Academy's Producers & Engineers Wing during Grammy Week 2012, co-founding the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy in 2013 with a $70 million donation alongside Dr. Dre, launching the Iovine and Young Center high school program in Los Angeles in 2022 with additional locations in Atlanta and Inglewood, and donating to the city of Compton during the COVID-19 pandemic to fund medical supplies, testing, and meals for residents.

@Skrillex

Personally I loved this set, especially the CDJ mishap in the middle. It really reinforces the idea that this is all a live performance art and it's never a guarantee that things go perfectly.

Source media: https://drive.google.com/file/....d/1_S-1H0aEBOMR32cPI
Audio EQd: TBD

Technical stuff:
Shot @ Oakland Arena, CA October 29, 2022
iPhone 13 Pro Max, "ProMovie" app
ISO auto, 5200K, 0.75 focus, 1.6x Wide Camera Zoom, Shutter auto

Discussion:
- audio has NOT been EQ'd like the Madeon Frost set--it's clear that the general public values speed rather than refinement

As always:
Why do I record? I'm an audio person, not here for the visuals. If the artist doesn't have a full audio line-in recording, I gotta make it for myself. If I could have it my way, I'd never attend a single live (electronic) concert. XD

_______________________________________

IMPORTANT NOTE - Other people were involved in the creation of this song, from engineering, to mixing, and mastering, and someone I failed to mention, and absolutely should have, is Eric E-Bass Johnson who also has guitar credit on this song. My sincerest apologies for not including the complete credits in this video.

There have been questions raised in the comments over who did what, and who didn't. I'm not able to determine those specifics, but the facts are that both Ken and E-Bass have official credits on this song (Ken as "Acoustic Guitar" and E-Bass as "Guitar")

When working on this video, I attempted to reach to everyone else listed in the credits (Including Syleena Johnson and Mix Engineer Manny Marroquin) and either didn't hear back, or in E-Bass' case, there was no contact info available online (short of an old myspace and abandoned Twitter). We're nearly 20 years removed from the release of this album, and it would be impossible for ME to determine if there's anything different going on than what the official credits say, since it's just one person's word against another, with both of them listed in the credits.

What I do know is that I should have mentioned E-Bass' contribution to this song and I didn't, and for that, I'm sorry.

Lil Baby Speaks on Drake, Young Thug & Gunna, Lyrics in Court, Rap Beef & More | Its Up Ther Hotney 7 Streams • 6 months ago

Lil Baby sits down with Loon on It’s Up There Podcast for a rare full conversation about jail changing his life, the mindset shift behind his success, fatherhood, fame, business, Drake, Young Thug, Gunna, lyrics being used in court, women, relationships, and why he stays focused on money instead of rap beef.

In this episode, Lil Baby opens up about how prison pushed him to try something different, why he never wanted to stay stuck in street mentality, and how success forced him to change everything — even the way he thinks. He also speaks on It’s Only Me, the Untrapped documentary, his approach to branding, his thoughts on features, the people around him, learning from businessmen, and why protecting peace matters more than proving a point.

Lil Baby’s It’s Only Me arrived in October 2022, while Untrapped: The Story of Lil Baby was released through Prime Video in 2022. His World Cup connection also came through “The World Is Yours to Take,” part of the 2022 FIFA soundtrack rollout.

Topics covered in this episode include:
Lil Baby on jail and changing his life
Lil Baby on leaving street thinking behind
Lil Baby on Drake and embracing younger artists
Lil Baby on Young Thug, Gunna and lyrics in court
Lil Baby on fatherhood and building a legacy
Lil Baby on women, peace and relationships
Lil Baby on money, branding and entrepreneurship
Lil Baby on rap beef, fame pressure and staying grounded
Lil Baby on Michael Rubin, business rooms and asking questions
Lil Baby on happiness, protecting his blessing and adapting to success
