Good job Ryan,, its Mike Worthington from our younger days at The Salvation Army / Sacramento CA. Keep up the positive work and amazing music you are putting out!! God Bless
when you see Ryan Leslie, you instantly want to make great music. you want to be a genius, like him, thinking it's possible. then...you stumble. Let's watch him daily, to Keep the Enthusiasm UP!
Glad this guy overcame his set backs from the thief "puffie" and from the situation with his stolen laptop(puffie)/lawsuit. It sets the bar at an unreachable high, above the rest. The genius in Ryan, his good looks and talent are what puffie saw in him and became quietly enraged with jealousy. Be careful who u let into your space, the devils are busy trying to steal, kill and destroy!
The strategic inflection point for RL's @SuperPhone idea is nigh. His only obstacles (have been) his alluring assets, ironically. Since the advent of Napster the motivation to 'disrupt' the status quo was in part > for young 'white' shy and nerdy types to set a new bar. To create a socioeconomic vista greater than the 'pop star' ... and (they've) succeeded. RL is pulling the same trick from the celebrity end, interestingly. He's hedging his HARVARD background to buy credibility from the Silicon Valley set. And its working ....
Im not feeling this at all. His entire premise is based on building a relationship with his fans. However, all the messages will be automated and impersonal. To me, this is just another gimmick for artists to make more money by bypassing record labels and 3rd party streaming services. This "technology" wont build a real relationship with the artist, unless maybe you spend $3000 a year on the artist products.
