BY BILL HOLLAND

When it comes to recorded music archives, there ain't nothing like the real thing. As technology evolves, it is essential, archivists say, that re- issues on new audio platforms be based on original masters. Unfortunately, in an unexpected by- product of digital - era recording, many original masters are in danger of dete- riorating or becoming obsolete. 13 A Bright Remedy That's because the material was This is a first in a Meredith Brooks' 2002 single recorded on early digital equipment two -part series on the challenges `Shine' re- emerges as the that is no longer manufactured.

It's a scary situation for the music industry, which relies on catalog releases -generally titles that are more than 12 months old -for more than 36% of U.S. sales, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Of course, the problem of archive preservation is far worse for pre -digital material. In fact, millions of analog and digital recordings in record company vaults exist on (Continued on page 56)

www.americanradiohistory.com ADVERTISEMENT Respecting the lining legacy of Def Jam: An Open letter to the Recording Industry from Russell Simmons

In a recent Newsweek article by Johnnie Roberts, appropriate questions were raised not only about the of Def Jam, but also about the future of the recording industry's relationship with the creative of hip -hop culture. The enduring legacy of Def Jam is that from the very beginning we were focused on building stability for the lives and careers of our artists as well as making hit music that authenti- cally represented hip -hop culture. My quotes in the piece by Roberts were not aimed at disparaging or discounting the value and potential for L.A. Reid to profitably lead Def Jam. My concerns, however, are about the future of Def Jam and the industry as a whole as to whether the legacy that Def Jam established will be maintained to the benefit of the artists and the culture.

Let's remember when LL Cool J first came to Def Jam, he was a runaway at the age of 15. Our first priority for LL was to work to nurture and sustain him as a gifted and talented young man. Now over 21 years later LL represents the best of what hip -hop can do for a young man coming out of struggle. He has become a beacon of light for families and communities out of the darkness of poverty.

When artists face trying and difficult life circumstances, will the executives of the industry today care or give a damn about the actual lives of artists outside the studio?

I told D that his mouth was his Uzi and his words of truth were his bullets. We defend Public Enemy's rightful place in the genre. I would like to think we helped Chuck D define his career. During the time Slick Rick was unjustly incarcerated, Def Jam executives helped lead the national and international campaign with his devoted wife, Mandy, to secure his freedom from a Florida prison. Recently Kevin Liles, Rev Run and I visited Shyne in prison. Will the new transition team at Def Jam see Shyne for the potential he has to become a Spiritual Prophet as he defines himself or will he be reduced to the thug that the street is racing to define him as. Will Shyne become Tupac (a) or Tupac (b), dead or alive? The truth is Tupac was worth more alive than dead. But, my guess is there are some industry executives who are not too sure about that fact.

As we worked to broker a peace between Ja Rule and , there were some who thought it was a fruitless exercise and even worked against the national television broadcast aimed at bringing the parties together for dialogue. Those in opposition felt that the broadcast might compromise the record selling potential of one or both of the artists. We prevailed and the broadcast was well received across the nation. It is important to me that today Chris Lighty is serving as a good role model who mentors young men and women whenever he gets a chance.

Iry Gotti came to my house last Saturday night and when he saw Chris Lighty he gave him a hug. Iry thanked me for bringing them together and for nurturing their ongoing dialogue. Yet, the best thanks I can receive is the knowledge that Iry will continue to be a great teacher and mentor for the young millionaires he is developing.

Almost all of the artists in hip -hop come from situations of extreme poverty and when money is put in their pockets, it is also important and responsible to help them erase the poverty of their mindsets. No one owes an artist anything but a fair record deal, marketing and promo- tions. But Def Jam always in the past worked to offer more. The question that I have for the industry is what will you do to support the evolution of the collective consciousness of hip -hop? Will you water the good seeds that have been planted? As you make future decisions, if you do not have P. Diddy, Master P, or Damon Dash at your table, who will you use to effectively mentor these up and coming young artists?

If Damon Dash sells his company, who will be at Vivendi to show the ropes? Who will look after Cam'ron and Beanie Sigel?

How does Vivendi and the industry in general plan to maximize the gifts of an Iry Gotti?

What about Earl Simmons (DMX)?

I am asking these questions to hopefully further sensitize an industry that is contemplating its future. I wish nothing but success for L.A. Reid and Def Jam. This generation of today's hip -hop artists are some of the most talented ever and most committed in their giving back to our communities. They all deserve our best guidance and support.

What will Shyne come home to?

BY SCOTT BANERIEE

SAN FRANCISCO -The burgeoning U.S. market for mobile content is attracting investment dollars, but shakeouts in the field are already occurring. Mobile entertainment aggregators -the technology companies that bring ringtones, games, wallpaper and other downloadable content to cellular phones-face challenges in this rapidly changing market. Ringtone aggregators are consolidating, and analysts project U.S. revenue from mobile games will surpass that of ringtones by nearly 4 to 1 during the next five years. Aggregators hope to succeed by broadening their content offerings and getting the best distribution on mobile phone "decks" -the handset menus that allow users to download content. Some plan to achieve these objectives by acquiring other compa- nies. Both strategies rely on aggregators being able to expand their relationships with carriers -the DEL THE FUNKY HOMOSAPIEN IS A CEARACTER IN 'NBA 2K5'AND CONTRIBUTED TO ITS SOUNDTRACK Sprints and Verizons of the world.
