Big Boi Interview (Dee Vasquez, PROFILE Series)
Big Boi is making his round in high volume…I really hope the fans support the album. Yea, times are hard, but this man made DIAMOND last go round (with Outkast, not counting the Idlewild movie soundtrack). After 5 years of being straight up disrespected by Jive, the least he could get is Gold first week?

RIP Harvey Fuqua
From Yahoo! News:
Singer, songwriter and record producer Harvey Fuqua, an early mentor of Marvin Gaye, has died. Fuqua was 80.
Ron Brewington of the Motown Alumni Association says Fuqua died of a heart attack Tuesday at a Detroit hospital.
The Louisville, Ky., native founded the R&B-doo-wop group the Moonglows, which signed with DJ Alan Freed. The group’s first single was the 1954 hit “Sincerely.”
Fuqua added Gaye and others in 1958 to a reconstituted group Fuqua called Harvey and the Moonglows. It had the 1958 hit “Ten Commandments of Love.”
He started Tri-Phi and Harvey Records in 1961, recording the Spinners, Junior Walker & the All Stars, and Shorty Long.
Motown Records founder Berry Gordy later hired Fuqua to develop recording talent.
What’s that you say? No clue who this guy is? Well, maybe one of his classic productions will give you a clue.
