Diddy Launches Music Television Network "REVOLT TV" Today

”We don't have new rules. We have NO rules..."

After Sean "Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Diddy" Combs announced the venture months ago, I am pleased to say...
THE. WAIT. IS. OVER.

{compressed/summarized}

”...Having enough fearlessness to play.. what isn’t.. what doesn’t usually normally get played. All the different alternative artists we gonna be multi genre. Especially in hip hop you know like Travis Scott. or say back in the days.. you know 2 years ago.. ASAP Rocky. When people were just discovering them on you tube.
We’re gonna really kinda curate and be a platform for new aspiring artists to grow for graphic designers, for shooters, really for the culture. But we’re gonna raise the bar.. from a performance level and from a video level to make sure that we have a bar of excellence that you have to achieve in order to get played on REVOLT.
Our focus for the first I would say 6 to 12 months is to be the number one destination for music.. for people that want to see music.."
”There was no CNN of music. There was no one trusted destination...."

REVOLT TV launches tonight @ 8pm EST for Comcast and TimeWarner cable customers in the cities of Los Angeles, New York City, and Chicago. While it has started off small, the channel locations will expand as the station progresses. If you need to find out the channel for your city, visit Revolt.Tv. For those who do not live in either of the three cities listed, you can watch the launch via live stream on the website as well.

As an avid music lover, I am extremely excited about the network station and what it WILL do for our culture. While Diddy explains that the network will show music videos about 80% of the time (of different genres), it's clear REVOLT will concentrate more on the culture compared to the typical (no shade) MTV, BET,

Motivation Mondays...

Feeling defeated or discouraged? I think we often pay more attention to things we have not accomplished or achieved rather than what we actually have. For every step you’ve taken towards your goal, even if it’s just a simple brainstorm on how to achieve it, be proud of yourself. Be proud that you just took a step of initiative in attempts to reach it. Sometimes all we need is the support from ourselves rather than waiting for the approval of others. Hold your head up and keep striving folks. While you’re on your journey, keep in mind to give yourself a little credit on the way.
Have a great week. Xoxo. …

I'll be his sweet little mama all the time...

Anyone who's watched Tamar's reality show knows she pushed and pushed to Vince that she wanted this to be a single immediately in which he ignored. After three singles, it seems he's finally budged. Tamar took it to instagram last night to announce to fans the completed visual has arrived. Check it out:

Cassie covers VIBE Vixen; talks signing with Drake's OVO label, new DJ venture, standing ground in the industry + more ...

”As a woman in the industry, there are so many things you're up against..."

The latest issue- VIBE Vixen writer, Adelle Platon, phoned in the ever so lovely Casandra Ventura to get the scoop for her cover story: "Breaking Bad"....

How do you stand your ground as a woman in a male-dominated industry?

”As a woman in the industry, there are so many things you’re up against. If you’re pretty, you’re too pretty. If you’re talented, you’re too talented to the point where people don’t want to listen to your music. And I’m not talking about Beyoncé, who is way up there. I’m just talking about people who are making the music that they love. It’s a confidence thing. It doesn’t matter what you bring out as long as you believe in it and back it up. That’s something that took time to learn. I would second guess myself a lot.
The first time I stepped out of the zone of standing behind somebody and being worried about giving my opinion was when I did “The Boys” video with Nicki Minaj. It was a trying experience, putting looks together with my team and being very, very involved and saying, “No, I’m not wearing that. This is not happening. This is how I want my hair and make-up.” That was the first time I really stood my ground and when everyone looked up, it was like “Girl, you really killed it.” It’s knowing what I want, being aware and sure of it. And not being phased by all the other bull that goes down...."

There’s a level of confidence that’s so evident in the way you present yourself these days. You aren’t hesitant to talk that shit on RockaByeBaby. What caused the transformation?

”Most of the things that have happened to me have been very organic. The first thing that I actually put out was the “All Gold, All Girls (Remix)” with Trina and Lola Monroe. That was where the sound kind of started. The first song I recorded for the actual mixtape was “Numb” and then I added Rick Ross to it. It was a vibe that I was creating and the story came to be from the attitude of the songs. Like you said, I was talking a lot of shit. I was really putting myself out there but I love the fact that I finally got the chance to do something with the attitude that I have. You hold back to a certain extent when everybody is saying, “This needs to go to a chart and that’s the only way it can be successful.” But no, you can be successful by making music that people love. We got over 2 million downloads on this mixtape that I never ever imagined at all....."
