Law #14: Pose as a Friend, Work as a Spy

“Knowing about your rival is critical. Use spies to gather valuable information that will keep you a step ahead.  Better still: Play the spy yourself.  In polite social encounters, learn to probe.  Ask indirect questions to get people to reveal their weaknesses and intentions.  There is no occasion that is not an opportunity for artful spying.“

Billie Joe & co. talk to the 1515 Boys about their appreciation for this thing of ours.

“Looking at a guy like Eminem,

the way he put his records out and how he goes from character to

character and how a lot of hip-hop artists use different names,

conceptually, I think that’s really important to put into records. I think that’s why a lot

of hip-hop records become so eventful. All of a sudden a character will

come up. A dialogue will come up. The ambition a lot of hip-hop records

have, that’s something I can relate to.”

According to early reports from Hits, Weezy, the expectant father, can sleep at night.

SALES REHAB: Based on very preliminary reports, it would appear that Eminem’s Relapse, which hit retail today, will sell somewhere in the mid-500k range, and easily top next week’s HITS Album sales chart. Can it hit 600k? If these early figures hold up, that would make it the year’s highest-selling debut of the year, giving Jimmy Iovine’s Interscope the top two bows of the year, including U2’s No Line on the Horizon, which entered at #1 with 480k back in March. (5/19p)
