Writer, producer and cultural critic Nelson George has covered Black music since his stint at Billboard’s black music editor in the early 80′s. During that time, the Brooklyn-based writer was at the forefront of the burgeoning hip-hop music scene, documenting the culture that was soon to move the world. The author of several books on Black music and culture, in recent years George has moved into TV and film, producing the TV movie “Life Support” with Queen Latifah and the documentary “Brooklyn Boheme” about the black arts and music community in Brooklyn in the late 80′s and 90′s. Now, he’s working on a funk documentary “Finding the Funk,” which is scheduled for VH1 in the fall.

James Brown, Parliament/Funkadelic, Sly Stone, Earth Wind and Fire and the Ohio Players are just a few of the funk stalwarts that will be featured, along with the Dayton connection. That’s not a group, it’s the city in Ohio which spawned several of funk’s most seminal groups, including Slave and the Ohio Players.

“People talk about Funkytown, but Funkytown was really Dayton, Ohio. There were so many musicians and so many great bands that came out of this one town. Dayton in the 70′s, 80′s was only 300,000 people. But you could make an argument that that town produced more enduring, great bands and artists in the funk genre than any city. It was a really good economy. Everyone played instruments. There was a whole tradition of band competition at the high school level that really generated a lot of musicians. There were a lot of colleges in that area so there were a lot of places to play on the weekend and all that stuff just came together into a movement.”

Well it is clear that Jay Z just took the game to another level yet again. Going Platinum before you music comes out is a new high for an industry that mostly cries about not being able to move units. As many of you know, Samsung reportedly paid $5 for each of the 1 million albums\ it plans to give away to Samsung Galaxy smart phone users for free, 72 hours before the album’s official release. The music will be streamed via an app, to be unveiled later this month. In response to this game changing announcement Sean Carter took to twitter stating,  ”Ok that was my yearly allotment see ya’ll 2014.#newrules #magnacartaholygrail.” And the world responded (to the news more than the tweet) with both fanfare and hater-ation. I even heard someone bring up this nonsensical notion of Jay securing his place in the illuminati by using Samsung to track people. Don’t they know the NSA already did that??

But regardless of the opinion on Jay’s new business deal we all should be celebrating because Mr. Carter is not the anomaly, he is the possibility. And we all, yes you and I included, have the ability to be game changers in our own lives and careers. Let me leave you with three things that we can all do to be our own Jay Z.

1.     Master What You Love
So many of us are living in mediocre and wondering why we are not going to the next level. Master what you love!! It doesn’t matter if it is music, business, school, relationships or parenting. Immerse yourself in information about not just the what, but the how of what you love. Practice your gift without ceasing and perfect it. You will manifest in your mastery what you only dream of in your mediocrity.

2.     See Beyond What Makes Sense; Envisioning What You Want To Exist & Create It
Many of us don’t do better because we don’t envision better. Why have a dream that makes sense? Push to create what others can’t see, others can’t imagine, and others won’t work to build. Successful people go where others can’t because they see what others wont.

3.     Be Strategically Fearless
Don’t jump out of the plane without a parachute, but after you have packed, tested, and re-pack the chute JUMP. Look in the face what terrifies YOU and fight it. Nothing is wrong with the fear, don’t get me wrong, but it is how we deal with it. Go hard and scare the hell out of what is trying to kill you…FEAR.

You were created to walk in excellence and through Mastery, Vision, and Gangsta we will not just be reading about Jay Z, but about you
