The TC has such a vibrant rap scene that its pretty easy to lose track of who’s who and doing what. I have never heard of local rapper Vision the Kid until very recently, but he’s an up and coming local emcee who happens to have a record coming out this Fall. It’s called Lost Summer and was produced by Ryan “Tru” Truax who has previously worked with St. Paul Slim. I definitely dig the bluesy samples worked in to the title track, and Vision himself at first glance seems to be a rapper who’s voice shares an eerie similarity to Eminem while his thematic palette seems more in tune with “hard luck” rappers like Buck 65. Anyway, check out the title track off of Lost Summer below and if you dig it you can head to the record release show at Honey on November 10th.

CNBC, Cramer go ‘Mad’.(Consumer News and Business Channel Partnership)(Jim Cramer)(Brief Article)
Daily Variety January 10, 2005 | Learmonth, Michael CNBC is canceling its year-old evening business news show “Bullseye With Dylan Ratigan” and replacing it with “Mad Money,” a show hosted by money manager Jim Cramer.
“Mad Money,” produced by CNBC’s primetime group, will air weeknights at 6. Cramer will continue to contribute to CNBC’s 5 p.m. talker “Kudlow & Cramer.” “This new program will allow Jim to translate to television what he does so well on his successful radio program,” wrote CNBC topper Pamela Thomas-Graham in a staff memo. “Mad Money” will give viewers “unprecedented access to what Jim feels are the opportunities and pitfalls of the often confusing jungle of Wall Street investing.” The programming change is expected to be announced later this week. web site jim cramer mad money
CNBC, a fixture on the screens of trading floors and in financial institutions, typically scores a Nielsen peak of 217,000 in-home viewers between 3 and 4 p.m. ET, around the time the markets close. in our site jim cramer mad money
CNBC estimates its viewership is far higher, because Nielsen does not measure viewers in the workplace.
But the network has struggled to find its footing in primetime, and morning ratings have slipped from a peak in 2000 as viewers lost interest in financial news.
CNBC canceled “McEnroe” after just six months due to poor ratings and remade its franchise morning show, “Squawk Box,” late last year.
“Bullseye” host Ratigan will remain at the network.
Learmonth, Michael
